Secretary Davis of the Depart

sity, in sermon yesterday MORN
ing in the First Baptist Church,

be in the future" DR.. Durkee de-
clared. If he has a small amount
of money he can go to the movies
or the theater every night in the
week every month in the year. But
If he spends his time in study he
will be q leader among men when
he Is forty-ive or fifty years old.
If he adopts the other course he
will simply follow others.
Secretary Davis is q fine EXAM
pie of how young man can deter
mine his own future. He had few
educational opportunities other
than what he made for himself.
He resolved early in life to spend

ing part in the now suspended plans
for the polar flight OF the Shenan-
doah.
From the beginning Of the oil lease
inquiry the Secretary maintained tina,
the lease itself. wholly aside from any
possible question of corruption that
might be involved. was of vast inn
portance to the Navy and the nation
He was convinced that the holding OF
resere oil supplies in the underground
pools of the naval reserve lands was
an inpossibility; that the oil was
being drained off through operations
on surrounding private wells. He ap-
peared several times before the in
vestigating committee. and although
he firmly maintained that the leasing
policy was sound he was unable to
answer many questions put him by
members regarding the technical de-
tails Of the proceedings.
This circumstance led to repeated
charges on the Senate floor that the
Navy Secretary, although not sus-
pected of any moral wrongdoing.
has not proven sufficiently alert
guardian of the vast reserves in
trusted to his care.

NEW YORK, February 18.-Respect

Federal Prohibition Commissioner
Haynes made public yesterday.
ITO select one provision of law for

itself a spirit of laWless act which
adds incentive to that lawlessness
which moral and intelligent citizens
are striving to check" he wrote.
1t was his opinion. he added, that
much of the present cry for law en-
forcement was insincere.
only those laws will be genuinely
obeyed which by their own force and
reasonableness appeal to our intelli-
gence and conscience" he continued.
The letter was written in response

THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE
Sees Earth a Desert III
Were Birds to Perish

While man fondly imagines him.
self lord Of the world in which he
lives he is actually nothing Of the
sort. The true masters Of this
planet are the insects, and while
man can easily hold his own against
the beasts he is helpless against
the insects. Helpless, that ia,
without the help of the birds. Few
have the faintest notion Of the
might Of the insect world, which
far exceeds In number of species,
In voracity and in power of multi
plicatfon all other living things.
More than three hundred thousand
different sorts of insects have been
classified. and there are tens of
thousands still to be described.
Were insects left to work their
Will and multiply unchecked. 1t
would be merely a matter Of two
or at the outside three years be-
fore all crops and all green things
would be destroyed. The earth
would be a desert.
Farmers and gardeners are con-
stantly at war with birds because
some species eat considerable
quantities Of grain and fruit. 1t
Is. however. essential to remember
the fact that the food of birds
consists mainly of insects and that
the bird Is the one force which
swings the balance Of Nature
against the insect hordes.-T. c.

Odd Fishin1 Ground

Amphioxus Is little creature
that lives In the sea, and also in
laboratories where he serves as
a specimen to students Of zoology.
He Is something like fish and
something like a worm. and is about
two inches long. The Chinese eat
him. This taste on their part has
caused the development of one Of
the most extraordinary fishing
grounds In the sea. located in the
narrow strait between the main
land and the island of Annoy. In
this limited area 200 fishing boats
are employed daily from August
to April In the dredging up Of
amphioxi which inhabit the bot
tom of the strait in enormous num-
bers. The average daily catch of
the fleet Is more than 300 tons. 1t
has been calculated that this repre-
SCENTS 8,5OO,OOO individuals, and
that the average annual catch
amounts to 1,OOO,OOO.OOO amphioxi.
Since most Of them are not caught,
the numbers of these tiny creatures
on this stretch of the sea bottom
may be better imagined than cal
culated.

three pounds made by the old

is needed for the Certo method. al
though your jam and jelly will not

serves the real color and flavor.
