Annual Picnic Information.

The Sesqui-centennial celebration
now being held at Philadelphia, Pa,
causes most of US to give more or
less thought concerning it. In the
days when our country was in the
grip of the war of the Revolution, pa
triotism hitherto unheard of prevail
ed. Doubtless many will recall hav-
ing read, at some time during their
childhood the following lines:
"And there was tunlult in the air,
The flies shrill note, the drums loud
beat,
And through the land everywhere
The answering tread of hurrying feet;
While the first oath of freedoms gun
Came on the blast from Lexington"
The point we wish to make by quot
ing the above lines is that no war
clouds loom on our horizon; no rumb-
lings of strife mar our pleasure, but a
certain rumbling is heard which will
eventually result in a roar, or if you
please, a volcanic eruption or some
thing akin to that.
This is the first gun of the Seventh
Annual picnic of the Knights of Py-
this. Faint mutterings and subdued
sounds have been in evidence for sew
eral weeks, but this is the first picnic
gun to be fired. The chief gunner, the
gunner's mate and in fact the entire
gun crew is organized and prepared
to give the public what they expect
a Labor Day picnic.

which is the carrier wave of send
ing station. He then turns his dial
SO that The pitch of the whistle drops
lower and lower, until just as it goes
out he gets the program from which
the whistle comes-if he gets 1t at all,
which he may not, because the
whistle is always much louder than
the program, and again. with eX-
cessive regeneration he gets only a
NASTY sound.
Now during all this time his set is
sending out those shriekS that make
his neighbors curse him. Remember.
that when your set can pick up the
whistle of a carrier wave. you are
radiating land disturbing everybody.
Find a station and tune it in, Is the
first instruction given for using a
regenerating set. Turn down your
tube as low as possible and get TIE
station clearly, and thereafter never
burn it any brighter. Turn the re-
generation control until the tone is
good. not harsh or Nasty. and there
after never turn 1t any higher for
that wave length. The best point
will differ somewhat with different
wave lengths. but not much.
1t is most important to remember
that If, and when, you can pick UP a
carrier wave, you are making trouble.
Keep the set out of the hands of
children and all others who do not
wish to listen in, but merely to
fish" for what they can get.
The best remedy, after all, Is to
take all sets having uncontrolled re-
generation out into the wood shed
and see how many pieces you can
make of them with three blows of an
axe.
Their manufacture and use is pro-
hibited in England and Germany,
and let us hope that sometime. not
too far off, such may be the case in
this country. Until such time comes,
however, the only remedy is to use
them with caution and intelligence,
or no one Is going to get any enjoy
ment out of what should be of eHeat
benefit and pleasure to very many.

FIGHT THE PESTS

We have long thought Of the waste
by fires in our forest growths as the
most serious form Of destruction to
which our woodlands are exposed.
There are some authorities, who now
tell us that the ravages Of insects are
the more serious. 1t is said that in
the State of Oregon. in one section
alone, insects have destroyed lumber
sufficient for the building of 5000
homes costing $4,000 each. One au-
thority estimates an annual loss on
account Of the attacks of insects on
our forest growths amounting to a
hundred million dollars.
There are 100000 known kinds of
tree attacking insects. Once these
seemed to be kept in check fairly
we'll by the birds. We should see to
it that there are more birds. but we
cannot depend on them solely. Con-
slant vigilance on our part is es-
sential to the preservation Of our
forests and crops; 1t Is a fight from
start to finish. The pessimistic ex-
perts tell US it Is a losing fight, but
| it Is not lost yet awhile.

EMPHASIS ON DELAY

Ponzi is more than advertising
real estate in Florida; he is ad-
vertising the possibilities under our
laws to roam far and wide under
BAH exploiting the public instead OF
being brought quickly to book on
charges laid against him.
Fresh from the field of his activi-
ties in New England he has been
employing his liberty it is said in
violating the laws of Florida with his
schemes assuming the charges
brought against him are proved
Among these are said to be failure
to pay his fee for doing business in
that State and the selling as land
ground that is under water.
Ponzi is at large on $4,000 bail
while his exceptions to the sentence
imposed on him by the superior
court, to a term in prison for seven
to nine years as a common and
notorious thief, may after many
months be taken up by the supreme
court of Massachusetts, in March.
It would seem from this that boot
logging is not the only crime for
which there is scarcity of courts
and a consequent delay in admins
fering justice. When tho sentenced
party is permitted under bail to
roam abroad for months seeking
whom he may devour while the
courts may catch up with their work
this mischievous condition of affairs
deserves emphasis and prompt con-
sideration.
