Future of Lighthouse

A further demonstration of the util-
ity of wireless is to be found in the
many large vessels are being fitted
By means of this a vessel is able to
discover position and direction with
out the aid of the lighthouse or light
ship, and irrespective of the state of
the weather. So general is the use
of this appliance becoming that the
future utility of the lighthouse is be-
ing questioned. The shipowners antici-
pate it may lead to diminution in
the number of lighthouses and ships,
for the upkeep of which they pay
many thousands of dollars every year
in slight dues"

No Treatment Known for
Eradicating Corn Smut

Unfortunately. there is no treat
ment known for corn smut. 1t can
be reduced somewhat by growing the
corn on land that has not grown corn
for some years and by cutting off and
carrying out of the field any smut
balls that form. These should be
buried or burned to destroy them.
Ordinarily they are allowed to go
with the cornstalks to the feed yards
where they become incorporated with
the manure supplies. This happens
TO be a good place to preserve them
and they go back TO the land when
the manure is applied.
If the cornstalks are left standing
in the field. the smut balls become
Incorporated with the soil when the
land is plowed or disked and rein
lection occurs when the corn is
grown. There isn't any remedy for
it except to reduce the smut balls all
you possibly can by destroying them
and keeping them out of the feed
supplies.

In practically every land May has

not up any earlier than the villagers,

who put on their gayest clothes and
ran with a laugh into the fields and
the meadows where the hawthorn
stood smothered in blossoms and the
violets looked up from dewy grasses
Before the sun was burning the
east, they were on their way back,
their arms crooked around fiowery
branches, their skirts and breeches
dew-drenched, their eyes all pupils.

Nothing but Trouble
for Traders In Mules

George n. Peek. head of The west

ing his recent visit to New York
warded of a difficult question by
means of an anecdote.

most difficult and complicated profes-
sion on EARTH" he said. "I'Il tell you
a story.
What's all that there rumpus GO
in on outside? asked the proprietor
Of the Croydon Four Corners general

said the town crier, nave just traded
mules. and now each dealer accuses
the t'other one of havin' cheated him
THAT bein' the case, said the
storekeeper, why don't they trade
back?
AZ guess said the crier. they're
both afraid of gettin' cheated again. /"

ting and again to be filled by Cutting
after March 4.
He was born in Chihuahua. Mexico.
So years ago and for many years prior
to his election, especially since New
Mexico made him her governor in
1918, his ambition had been to sit
in the Senate. The State law. which
would not permit Cuttings name to
appear twice on the same ballot gave
him hts chance.
Larrazolo Is regarded as a silvery-
tongued orator at home. He wanted
to make just one speech during his
term here-a hope now apparently
doomed. His interest in the Spanish
American people of New Mexico led
him to introduce bill for an indus
trial school there. 1t was his only
bill and it was to be the subject of his
only speech
But Washington climate is hard on
man with bronchial asthma and
Larrazolo has gone home with no
other distinction here than that of
being the only senator in years to
break the rules unwittingly by smok-
ing cigaret on the floor.
