Preacher at Grace M. E. Church Has Good Opin-
 ion of the Press
THE LENTEN SERMONS

Grant Colfax Tullar, who Is con- ducting a week of Lenten services at the Grace Methodist church, Waterville, spoke last night to a
 crowded auditorium.
 He spoke in part of the various
 callings of men, - and their rela-
 tive importance to the world at
 large.
 He mentioned the preacher first, who ministered to the soul or man, - next the doctor who took care of the body, - then the teacher wharmolded the plastic mind of the child, and then he
 dwelt at great length on the newspaper man.. Told what a tremendous power he welded. - said he had considerable acquaint-
 ance among newspaper men and found them to be for the most part upright christian men, - who many times withheld news that
 might mean q scoop for the paper,
 - but the printing of which might
 mar q life.
 Said we didn't half appreciate the services of the newspaper man, and told what a tremendous power for good q clean paper could be ln
 q community. Incidentally he told
 how much he appreciated the
 space which the Waterbury papers
 had given his services, said he
 realized how valuable space was, and that without doubt tho space
 which they had generously given him, might have been filled by q paying advertisement. He did want to express his appreciation TOT their kindness to him during ms visit here.
 Through an error, - sent in by the committee to the paper,--it was announced that MT Tuliar would broadcast on April 18th, - this Is a mistake, - there Will be
 broadcast by WEAF on April 18th. at which time MT Tullar's songs
 will be sung, - and he has written
 one especially for the occasion, - and anyone writing othe broad
 casting station will be given copy free, but Mir Tullar Will not speak at this time, - he will sim ply be there to supervise the sing | ing of his songs. This is not mis- , take on the part of the paper, - 1t was d misunderstanding on the part of the committee sending In the item. Tonight Mir TuIIar will speak again. - and his talk will be es- pecially for the young people. - as he said from age 10 to 1lO, so
 everybody is cordially invited. He is giving a special talk this afternoon at o'clock, and folks

 Commander Lee in his remarks commented on the economy meas ure signed by President Roosevelt. He declared that then act nulli- fled ten years of work accomplished by the organization and would re- suit in the shifting of the tax burden from the Dig income tax payer to the small merchant and property owner. Every city and town in the country will feel the effects, he declared, and it will not be long before public opinion con corning treatment of veterans will react to the favor of ex-service men. He recommended closer CO., operation on the part of all veter- ans organizations for the purpose of bringing about a united front. New mem bers should be recruited and the attention of congress and the general public focused on the injustice the measure has caused to thousands of deserving veterans.

Head of Ointment Firm Praises Pulling Power
 of Press

E. J. Peterson, of Buffalo. who has shaped the destiny of Peter sons Ointment so successfully that 1t is sold all over the United States and Canada, in an interview given in Buffalo, last week, on the eve of moving the company into larger quarters, said:
 During the so-ca1led years of depression we did not cut down our advertising appropriation one penny, and we are very glad we did not do so.
 "Even when the so-called bank holidays put fear into the hearts of hundreds of advertisers we did not allow ourselves to become stampeded but kept right on with our regular newspaper schedule.
 "In building up Peterson's Oint- ment we have used nothing but newspapers and newspapers have done such wonderful and satis- factory job for us that we will con- tinue to use them exclusively. By sticking to our guns during this depression we have had the satisfaction of seing our sales in- crease-last year our gain in busi- ness was over 1096 and we expect just as big a gain in this year over 1882"

putting them in the silo or feeding them to cattle.
 Another method is to destroy the cornstalks by blowing them under cleanly or by burning over the field. Early spring blowing is ef- fective, but the blowing must be deep and clean to carry the stalks well underground. Otherwise enough borers to infest the field may survive.
 Cleanup Effective
 Dr Britton said that on the whole clean-up measures in this state had been successful, for the general progress of the borer was evidently checked last summer. The southeastern corner of the state, where the borer entered and tho towns of Milford and Orange. where the seed corn industry is centercd, were surveyed at that time to compare infestation with that of 1881.
 The number of borers to the acre had decreased in Groton, Montville and Stonington, but a marked increase took place in Orange and Waterford. A large number of borers to the acre was found in Glastonbury and Wethers- field, a large market garden sec- ton.

New Haven, April 7.-Corn growers through the state have been notified by the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment station for the annual cleanup against the European corn borer. The of- ficial order has been issued and according to statute names April 10 as the deadline for the destruc- tion of all cornstalks and stubble within the quarantined area, which includes the whole state.
 "If cornstalks are not destroyed on an infested field, they will pro- duce new and enlarged broods of corn borers the following year." w. F. Britton, entomologist, said in explanation of the order. This insect has spread gradually over the state. If the grower fails to clean up his field, not only will his own crop be endangered, but he may be the cause of the in- festation spreading to his neigh bor's property"
 The corn borer spends the win ter as a larva hidden in cornstalk and stubblc. The most effective way to control the insect is to de- stroy 1t in this stage. This may be done by cutting tho cornstalks close to the ground and then either

Chuck Bennett, former I. U. ace,
