insects Are Expensive

It is hard to realize that the de-
struction caused by tnsectb each
year in America will approximate
two billions CT dollars. This must
be SO, however, because the figures
we're released recently by J. A. Hy-
sIop, Chief ce the Insect Pest Sur
yey, of the I. S. Department Of
Agriculture.
TIE interesting thing about it all
is that at least two thirds of tbs
damage is preventaole and if the
people would bestir themselves, each
could save his share OF this enor-
NOUS loss.
It is said that SO pests cause an
nuauy one-half Of this damage. The
cotton crop probably suffers most
from insect pests when it comes to
actual dollars and cents because OF
the boil weegl which annually de-
stroys twelve per cent Of the cotton
crop which is estimated to be worth
about $t63 900 600 and another loss
Of q million and d half can De
charged to attempts made to contro
the weeyil. Then cotton farmers
lose much each year through th'
work of the boil worm which aisl
eats corr ears. tomatoes ard proc
ably other crops.

Depressio1as Bring Fakirs


Fakers ard peddlers Of inferior
goods flock to the rural districts
during times Of depression because
they think farmers are hunting low
e- pr,ces regardless OF quality.
Reports have come in telling Of
armies of statesmen peddlirg wild
cat roofing and paints for farm
building coverings, offering material
almost worthless, and are selling
them because they show a colnpar-
ison Of their prices with those Of
reputable dealers with established
businesses.
Another temptation held out to
farmers is for bargain seeds. Far
mers know the seed they purchase
should be from selected stock and
quality must be considered as well
as price.
no doubt organizers are also plen-
gifuI, trying to sell memberships in
organization whose main object
seems TO be n collecting dues. Far
lners should know the OLD standby
farm organizations and not be toe
ready to join anything that comes
aIcng, even though it has a high
sounding name and a prospectus full
Of promises for farm relief.
TIE flocking Of fakirs to the ru-
raj districts is indicative Of the.l
failure to find suckers in the cite,
where money is not SO plentiful.

still rocked the baby, speaking jerkily
like that between her moaning.
The kid went out and led Pecos and
the pinto down to the stable. Pecos
he led behind the stable. Dark, back
in there. Pecos snorted a little, but
he'd stand, all right. No use having
him out in sight-not i'll country

The chores were soon done. How
about a grave? Plump foolish to start

but he hated to ask her.

The kid lifted his eyes now, though
one was squinted shut and the other
was the eye of tiger. They did not
see him draw his gun, but the little
woman jumped and caught her baby
up against her breast at the shatterln3
roar of the kids shot.

"Scuse me, Ma'am-I couldn't stand
to see him insult yo'all that-a-way."
No one in that room saw the kid
make a hurried move, but the door
c5ened, famed the acrid haze Of pew
der smoke and shut with hang.
Where the kid had stood was empty
space. They locked at one another,
and they looked at Pete Gorham, with
the blood trickling down each side of
his neck from bullet holes bored
through the gristly tops of his ears

Once more the kid was running
away, but he was not taking any more
time than was necessary. He was in
the saddle and waiting. pcering forth,
when he heard the cabin door open,
saw a dim shape steal out. Then an
other,. and after a minute one more.
Afraid of him, the way they acted.
Afraid he would hide outside in the
dark and pick them off one at time
as they came out That's about their
notion cf what a Texas killer would
be like. That was about the way they
would 6ght-Pete Gorham, anyway.
Now he would go earmarked the rest
Of his life. Shoah was a neat trick,
and tempting too. with his ears stick
ing up like a field mouse under his
black hat. Shoah made fine mark,
easier than shooting the pips out Of
cards. The kid gave a sudden boyish
laugh at the thought of those ears
with their round tullet holes.
The three went in again, slipping in
one at a time The kid grinned again.
He'd BET Pete Gorham was the man
that stayed inside and didn't como out.
After awhile they came out again,
this time with lantern, cne man
walking ahead as if he were on guard.
The kid didn't know about that lantern.
If they went sncoping around, and If
they looked behind the stable, he might
have to shoot somebody. Better not
take a chance. So he backed Pecos
step at a time, lack and tack until
they were out Beyond the stable.
There, within sight of the gate
within easy shooting distance tco-the
kid waited in the gully not far from
the gate They drove away from the
house at last, coming his way. One
man was driving the team, his horse
! following tehind the wagon. The little
woman was en- the seat beside him.
Two riders went aheat.
Half mile behind them, he followed
the little cavalcade. Easy enough, with
the cluck Of the wagon coming family
through the starlight. The kid wcn-
dered il they were afraid he might be
on their track. Probably net. His
little argument with Pete was kind
of personal. One of the ne1 didn't
like Pete's remarks any too well. He'd

to bother the widow now, the way she
was feeling. The kid started running.
He reached the cabin door and opened
it while the riders were still at the
gate.
"Men a-comin' heah, Maam. If
yo'all don't want EN-"
'"Oh, let 'em come" she answered
wearily. "They can't do any more
damage. They've got Nate-they
ought to be satisfied with that"
She got up and crossed the room,
and presently the kid saw her lace,
dead white in the fare Of match
she was drawing across the lamp WICK
The riders stopped outside the cabin
and some one whistled call-but it
was not the night-hird call Babe Gar
ner had taught the kid Different.
This was the first strain of that cid
war song, when Johnny Comes
Marching Home" The kids lips puck
cred thoughtfully and he repeated the
strain, standing just inside the closed
door. Friends, they must be; that is,
friends of the Wheelers. He wouldn't
have to dig that grave. after all. The
kid was glad, fer he hated grave Dig
ging.
He opened the door and the men
came in; four of them, one after the
ether. Shaggy, farmer-looking men,
with stub5ly cheeks that stuck out on
one side with great cuds of tobacco.
The kid felt vague diStaste for them.
They halted at sight of him, hud-
ding just within the room instead OF
scattering. But the kids, hat was off,
and though it dangled from his left
hand he looked at home there, some
how. Besides, they had got their sig
nal all right. The leader relaxed,
dropping his hand to his side.
'We come to tell Nate there's a
meetin' over to Hans, Becker's place
and we'd like to have him so along"
He cast another suspicious glance to-
| ward the kid and checked what more

They got him" Mates wife spoke
in that dull, level tcne which the kid
hated to hear. "Shot him on the road

The kid stood aside for ehem, as
they rushed to the bed to lOo3l at
Nate, but nc one paid any attention to
him. Net then. The tail man brought
the lamp and they examined the tody
thoroughly. They muttered together,
but the kid could not hear what they
said, because he stayed back, near the
foot Of the bed. Near the door tco.
No use letting them block the way
out, even if they did think he was
working for the Whcelers.
There was a sudden and significant
pause. The tall man leaned over and
probed carefully with finger, then
stood up and spat over his shoulder
into the shadows. He locked past his
: companions, fixing his unpleasant Eaze

Taken For a Ride

Today and tomorrow and next day pa
irons of the electric light company will be
taken for ride Not new experience, of
course, but this ride starts at the Circle and
ends at a new power plant.
In order to build this new and finest
plant, securities were sold to the public and
new charge put against the generations
which will continue to buy power and use
lights.
1t would be interesting to the patrons, if
not to the public service commission, to know
just how the proceeds of bonds and pre-
ferred stock issues were spent in the con-
struction of this plant That might have an
important bearing on the plea of the people
for readjustment of rates.
How much went to the holding company
as a commission on the sale of the securities?
How much went to the holding company
as a commission on the purchases of ma
terials that went into that plant?
How much did the holding company
charge to the public for engineering fees?
How much more did this plant cost than
it should have cost had not the people of
lCulS CITY Deeu DuIueueu WIFI Tile uOlulug
company system of operating its public
utilities?
How much of cut would have been
made had the erection been done under
system of open and competitive bids as is
required in public works?
These are rather pertinent questions
since the cost of that new plant will be the
basis of rates paid by every home and by
every industry that requires electricity
through all the coming years.
The people should be glad that they have
the use of new modern plant. They will
not be happy if they discover later that they
are paying a huge price for that privilege.

DR., BergiuS Honored


IMPORTANT scientific news comes
a from Stockholm. The Nobel prize
in chemistry for 1881 is to be shared
by DR.. Frederick Bergius and Pro-
fessor Karl Bosch of Ludwigshaven.
DR.. Bergius is one of the worlds
greatest research chemists. His
process for the INCORPORATION of
coal may prove one of the founda-
ton stones of the economic struc-
ture of the world OF the future.
News also comes from Stockholm
that the Nobel prize in physics for
1881 will not be awarded. Here is
subject for discussion in the labo-
ratories of the world.
My own guess is that Young
man who figured in the scientific
news Of the month will one of these
days be the recipient of that Nobel
prize in physics. He will. if the
promise which lies in his present
work naterializes.
He is DR.. r. j. Van De Graaff nj
Princeton university who has de-
vised a new way of attaining ex-
tremely high voltages. His anna
ratus is amazingly simple, so simple
that every physicist in the world
probably is wondering why he never
thought of it.
Many scientists hail De Graaff's
apparatus as a new way Of attack
ing that alluring problem, the
smashing of the atom.
A number of interesting items of
sclentlnc news have been listed
briefly in this article. They will be
discussed in detail during the next
few days. "'
