TWO CHURCH-GOERS

Almost in the depths of the woods
of Wisconsin in a small rude clap
boarded church, a President of the
United States on Sunday, sat alone
in pew, attending divine service,
conducted by blind preacher.
Around and about him was assemb-
led small group Of people from the
countryside, and with them the
President lifted his voice in the
simple Psalms and Bible responses.
A thousand miles away in Washing
ton, accompanied by his wife and
members of his family, the man who
is to be the next President of the
United States, Herbert Hoover sat
in another simple edifice-a Quaker
meeting house-and went through
the services Of the faith of his ia

It is incidents like these which
make the United States what it is.
1t is the inspiration back of his at
tendance at Sunday services which
has helped President Coolidge to
give the country an administration
of honesty, sincerity and effective
ness, and the same influences will
operate to make the Hoover Admin

POLITICAL PARTY SYMBOLS
Rennhlican Elephant

Thomas Mast, cartoonist who in
1870 first used the donkey to repre-
sent the Democratic party, four
years later evolved the elephant to
symbolic the Republican party. on
November z, 1874, Harper's Weekly
published a Mast cartoon in which
the Republican Vote" was repre-
sented as a huge elephant. The pic
ture shows the collected animals OF
the forest-represent various pa
Ders. states and issues-being fright
ened by donkey in lions skins cry
ing "Caesarism." The elephant is
frightened also, being on the verge
of a pitfan which is loosely covered
with various deceptive planks. In
this particular cartoon the donkey
does not represent the Democratic
party, which is symbolized by a fox
with a face suggesting that Of Sam
uel ]. Tilden.
Democratic Rooster
The rooster is the emblem Of the
Democratic party on the ballots OF
many states. The story Of its origin
is this: In 1910 Joseph Chapman
was Democratic candidate for the
Indiana legislature. It was after the
panic in Van Buren's administration
and things looked dark for the DEM
ocrats. So George Pattison, editor
of the Indianapolis Constitution,
wrote to William Sebastian Of
Greenfield: "Do, for heavens sake
stir up the Democracy. See Chap
man, tell him not to do as he did
heretofore. He used to create un-
necessary alarms; he must crow; we
have much to crow over" This let
ter accidentally fell into the hands
of the Wings and was published in
an Indianapolis paper with a view
of ridiculing the Democrats. 1t had
the opposite effect. "Crow, Chap
man, Crow" became the slogan of
the Democrats Of the state and in
time spread to the entire nation.
When the Indiana Sentinel was
launched in 1S41 it contained at the
Ton of the front page the picture Of
a proud rooster and under it the
slogan: "Crow, Chapman, Crow

the advancement of Herbert Hoover

Their influence has been felt in all
parts of the country. They have con-
tributed more than their share of
sincerity and enthusiasm to the
cause, and there is no denying that
many practical-minded men have
counted on the confidence of the wo-
men in Mr.. Hoover as a strong asset
in the campaign to come.

The Fall Army Worm

One of the few insects known
that frequently disperse and breed
throughout a great part Of the Uni
ted States, only to perish at the
end of the summer season, is the
fall army worm, known under var
ious other names in different reg
ions. This insect is pest Of con-
siderable economic Importance,
particularly in the lowlands of the
Southern States, where it occurs
every year and often causes serious
damage to crops. Serious outbreaks
occur at irregular intervals. In
the greater part of the South, crops
subject to damage by this pest, such
as hgrass and grasslike plants,
should be inspected during June
and July; in the North invasions
do not occur until later. Various
mechanical methods have been
found to be of value in destroying
the fall army worm, as we'll as
chemical measures with sprays,
dusts, and bats. The control meth
cd used depends largely upon the
prevailing conditions and the crop
affected. AS this pest is principally
a grass-feeding species and breeds
in grasses whenever possible, clean
cultural methods lessen the danger
of infestation from it.
