REFLECT BORAH
TRIUMPHANTLY

Senator BOrah is supporting Mr..
Coolidga. The World is supporting
Mr.. Davis. The World hopes that the
people of Idaho will re-elect Senator
Borah by the largest majority he has
ever received. For William Il. Borah
is the most useful and the most in
spring figure in the national life OF
this country He has brought glory
TO the State of Idaho, honor to the
Senate of the United States, and has
given lie ,dershi to people of all parties
and of all sections and of all classes.
No man could have been more faith
full III spirit to the constitutional
traditions of America none has been
more vigilant to expose and thwart
attacks on that spirit from whatever
quarter they came. He has fougnt
with equal courage bonuses to sol
diers and bonuses to corporations, for
the rights of the poor and of the
rich. We have not always agreed with
him, but always we have known, as
all other opponents of his on partlc-
ular issues have known, that here was
a fair-minded and generous f1ghter'
actuated by no other consideration
except his honest conviction.
The people of Idaho have special
duty to the Nation at this time. They
are voting in an election where class
and sectional lines are more sharply
drawn than they have been for a
generation. They are voting at n
time when respect for Congress. for
politicians and for parties is at lts
lowest ebb. They are voting at a
time when confidence is shaken ana
the people are puzzled. Let them re-
turn William Il. Borah with trlum-
phant Endorsement and there is not q
nublic-spirited Republican, Democrat
or progressive from coast to coast
who will not feel that Idaho mas
given him a representative.
Idaho ought to be very proud OF
Rorah. Some States boast of their
size and some of their riches; ldano
has produced a statesman. lt mas
produced a man who has done more
to preserye and more to restore Amer
icanism in the humane and liberal
meaning of that much abused word
than any living man. This country
needs his courage, his wisdom, MS
independence. his humanity, his eX
perience and his eloquence. 1t needs
his passion for righteousness and his
moderation in method. 1t needs, a
hove all.N the demonstration to the
cynical and the disguised. the bewil
dered and the Indifferent, that ser
vice of the kind Borah has rendered
to the Nation is indorsed by the peo
pie who brought him forth.
The World appeals~to the people OF
Idaho. and in particular to the Demo
Gratis of Idaho, not merely to re-elec'
William Il. Borah, for that we taks
TO be certain, but re-elect him witt
sucb n smashing majority that no one
will doubt the meaning Of the verdict
Mr.. Borahs Democratic opponent is
we understand, an excellent man. /
is no reflection on him to say that NJ
will serve his country, his Democratl'
principles and his party best by help
ing TO roll up the vote for Borah.-

The bodies, once death has occurred,

by wild dogs. These dogs are doubt
less the fiercest creatures in the world.
They are indeed terrible. and were a
constant menace to the lives of the
members of the expedition.

Uncharted Rocks Are
Terror to Mariners

Uncharted rocks and islands of the
sea have mysterious ways of lodging
and befooling mapmakers. Some
times they are dangerous.
One of the worst, Lamb rock, was
found about thirty years ago coming
straight up to the surface In water
200 feet deep. 1t was like cathe-
dral spire and rose straight into the
middle of the Canadian liner lane into
the st. Lawrence river. In calm
weather its tip was 3S feet below Che
surface. This is a bare margin Of
safety, but in rough weather the rock
was lurking peril to any big shie
that might come along.
The Avocet rock, in the southern
end of the Red sea, also stands 10 the
middle of the steamer lane to IndsA-
The steamer Avocet struck it and sdnk
in 104 fathoms. 1t looked like pure
carelessness on the part of the cap
tain.
The British vessel Flying Fish was
sent to investigate. 1t could find no
trace of any rock. Then another ship,
the Teddington, sank at the same
place. Another British vessel went to
investigate, and it, too, could find moth
ing. Then a third vessel nosed about
in the vicinity for six weeks with
equal Ill success.
Finally H. NJ. s. Stork made an in.
vestigation ard located the rock only
three hundred yards from the place
where one Of its predecessors had an
chored. The rock was covered by q
bare fifteen feet of water at low tide.

Sunrise in the Tropics

No one who has ever seen tropical

the world bursts into light. The sun
on the Amazon usually rises without
clouds and floods everything with "a

beautiful, but there are seldom clouds,
and the color effects are not as fine
as in northern cliInes,
The banks of the river are full of
interest to the canoe voyager, who has
every opportunity fer observation, as
one always paddles close to the shore.
Draperies Of flowing vines sweep the
canoe; at times in some little bay,
where the current has no influence,
great masses Of water plants are in
full bloom, bright tillandsias perch in
the branches above his head, and or
chids look out from the branches, or
many times swing In midair. Large
patches of "aninga," which looks like
a tall-stemmed, giant Gala lily, full of
the great white flowers. make beauti-
full pictures and over all Is a bright
blue sky with the cool breeze, which
from nine till four always draws up
the river.

Harriet Industry in
China Is Exfensiue

The hair-net business In China has
had quite history. 1t was estab-
ished originally by Germans, who inn
ported the nets from Chefoo into Ger
many and then exported them to the
United States as European-made hair
nets. There is still considerable ex-
port Of human-hair nets from China
to European countries.
When direct trade in human-hair
nets was taken up with China, large
quantities Of imperfect, understood,
and generally poor nets were export
ed, This finally resulted in the estab-
lishment in Chefoo and Tsinan, by
the foreign and few larger Chinese
exporters, of hair-net inspection fac
tories, some employing as many as
1000 operatives, where hair-net car
goes are inspected and, If necessary,
the nets repaired before being shipped.
The net-making itself is a home or
cottage" industry; the hair is dis
tributed around In the various vii
lages-in the hinterland of Chefoo
and In the region of the Shantung
railway-and the nets usually pass
through the hands of several Chinese
middlemen before they are offered BY
the Chinese dealers to exporters.

Sycamore Blight
Is Most Severe!
Trees in Many States East of
Mississippi River Hard
Hit This Year.
prepared by the United States Department,

(Prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.l
sycamore trees this spring and
early SUMMER were especially hard hit
by a blight, commonly known as
sycamore blight, in many states east
OF the Mississippi river notably Ohio,
Pennsylvania. New Jersey, Illinois,
and Virginia. The disease affects not
only the common sycamore, or button
WOOD, but also the oriental plane tree.
Due to Wet Spring.
Although the blight occurs to
slight extent every year in the east
ern and central United States, the
severity of the attack this year, &C
cording to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, appears to be
largely due to the unusually wet
spring, when the leaves were develop
ing.
The blight Injuries the newly devei-
oped leaves and the young shoots. The
new leaves just unfolding from the
bud suddenly wither, become discol-'
ored, and finally blacken, giving the
appearance of injury by frost. On.
the older leaves the disease appears
as brown blotches or spots of irregu-
lar shape, usually along the veins. In
severe cases the leaves fall, but a new
crop usually is produced later In the
summer. Continued defoliation in
successive years and the severe dying
back of the twigs eventually cause the
death of the tree.
Methods of Control.
As In the case of most tree dis
eases, methods of controlling the
blight are rather expensive and usual
ly somewhat difficult to carry out. The
value of the tree, however, for shade
or ornamental purposes may possibly
warrant the expense and trouble. AS
first step in controlling the disease,
the infected twigs should be careful
ly removed by pruning well back of
the infected portion. All Of these
twigs, together with any fallen leaves
and twigs. should be carefully col
lected and burned They should not
be thrown onto the rubbish heap,
since that Is often one Of the most
favorable places for the, fungus to
fruit. Its spores may then be car
rfed to healthy trees which may thus
become infected. After all the In
fected twigs are cut away the re-
nainder Of the tree should be sprayed
with bordeaux mixture in the proper
tons 44-50. A second or third ap-
plication OF a weaker solution of Dor
deaux mixture may be necessary be-
fore midsummer TO protect the new
foliage Again, in the autumn, 1t Is
advisable to rake up and burn all
fallen leaves and twigs, since this
tends TO prevent the spread of any
disease which may be present upon
them,

Grain Feed for Laying
Hens Is Very Important

Laying hens should come off the
roost with empty crops, and go to
roost with full crops. The first feed
in the morning should be grain scat
tered over the floor in a litter about
six inches deep. About one-third Of
the total grain feed for the day should
be fed at this time, and the remain
der should be fed in the same manner
in sufficient time for it to be cleaned
up before the birds go to roost.
The mash can be fed in dry mash
hoppers where the birds can have ac-
cess to It at all times. Should the
hens become too fat, this may be rem
edied by compelling them to take
more exercise through reducing the
amount of scratch grain and reducing
the meat scrap in the rations. No
abrupt changes in rations should be
made, and, where possible, the same
ration should be fed continuously. 1t
does not pay to try to force moulting
by abrupt changes in feeding.

Where Wives Are Boss

What visiting sea captain calls
"he harems" are to be found among
the Marquesas islands of the South
seas. The bulky, brown Amazonian
women are unspoilt by association
with oriental ideas, and collect half
a dozen husbands or more. The col
lection is done by the simple expedi-
ent of driving the man with bamboo
pole into the harem, thrashing him
well to make him thoroughly under
stand who is in command-and set
ting him to work on the coconut plan
tation or at the Homework. These
conditions only obtain in the islands
that are unvisited by steamships.
The windjammer trader is the only
white man who finds the natives In
their primitive condition.

Most Dangerous Big Come

AS fierce as the tiger and more fero-
cious than the lion. the African ele-
plant is known by many big-game
hunters as the most dangerous of wild
animals. Although its Indian cousin
has been servant of man for thou
sands Of years and delights crowds at
circuses throughout the countries
where carnivals are popular. there is
not a single recorded instance of the
African elephant being tanned. A
training camp was established in Con-
go several years ago in the hope of
teaching them to work, but the at
tempt failed. The African elephant
sometimes bulks thrice as big as most
Asiatic specimens seen at circus, ac-
cording to hunters. Their intelligence
and cunning are amazing. They also
possess keen sense of smell, being
able to detect the presence Of q man
at least 1000 yards away. At the
crash of gun, they stampede, fading
almost noiselessiy, in spite Of their
huge bulk, into the jungle grasses.--
