Lend A r.so n n(t Controls Beetles Lead arsenate put on as a spray is probably the best remedy for Deetles that attack cucumber and melon vines, according to the State College of Agriculture. Lead arsenate is also good for potato beetles. Bor deaux mixture is sometimes added to the lead foi the purpose of driv ing the beetles away and thereby preventing injury to the leaves. Lice can be controlled with "Blackleaf 40."

Dakota City, Neb. f Stock in the Greatest Mutual Benefit Association in All the World By PROF. H. B. WARD, Uncle Sam's children have approximately ono hundred and ten mil lion shares of stock in the greatest mutual benefit association in the world and their interests should be protected. This great organization holds, .among other things, the grandest canyon (Grand canyon, ATifc.), the most wonderful mountain (Mount Mclviifloy, Alaska), the mot superb gey sers (Yellowstone National park), the oldest and biggest living things (big trees, Sequoia National park), and numberless other unique objects in the nineteen jiational parks and nearly fifty national monuments, es tablished and protected by twenty-four successive congresses. Each of us holds one share of stock in this ns&cintiou. It is time for the American people to instruct their representatives in congress, who are the directors of this corporation. ' ' A joker in the water-power' bill passed last June, puts the national parks and monuments in with public land and forest reserves as places in which the water-power commission can grant privileges for irrigation reservoirs and hydro-eleclriq plants. A bill is ponding to eliminate this joke and restore to congress the absolute control of national parks and monuments. Bills are already pending in congress to transfer 8,000 acres in tho Yellowstone to private irrigation interests and for the damming of Yel lowstone lake. ' $ To turn over this public property to private persons is wholly in defensible and even to commercialize our national parks for pubjie benefit is to destroy their real value. To retain these national parks in their natural conditions is not to withhold from development any appreciable part of the area of the United States, of which they cover less than three thousandths of ono per cent.

Covington pre cinct held their monthly community meeting at the same time with a short program and ice cream and cako. At the Omadi precinct meeting, Mrs. John Thacker was elected di rector to the County Farm Bureau.

Heeney was chosen to the position. HOME DEPARTMENT OP THE FARM BUREAU. By Geneva Rankin.

The Children's Day exercises at the Salem Lutheran church last Snuday certainly was a credit to the child ren and to the ladies who did the work in getting the program ready. The service went olf without a hitch, and everyone did well. One could not help but notice what a large number of children there is in the community. What a great work it Is to husband these for tho church. The dinner served at the end of the exercises was a most enjoyable alfair. We were pleased with the number of visitors. They are nl ways welcome. There were thirty cars on the church grounds. Each came( loaded with people, and it wus one good time wo had till four o'clock.when the people went home for their evening chores. The whole day was a complete success, from the service to the weather. Why can we not look forward to another such day during the summer? Mrs. M. G. Learner will meet all the children who are interested In learning to sing and forming a chil dren's chorus at the church next Friduy afternoon at 2:30. This is a mighty good thing. There is no reason why our younger folks should not be already trained in the work of tho church In HiIh line, and Mrs. Leumer has very kindly undertaken the work with but one idea, to help the children and tho church. Tho parents are asked to help in this thing by making it possible for their children to be ut the church Friday afternoons. For Sale Some good cotton'wood lumber, also a quantity of '.stove wood. Don Forbes, mile north of Dakota City, The Scrap Book TRICK TO PLEASE CHILDREN How Paper Butterflies May Be Made to Move Through the Air With Appearance of Life. Here Is a charming little experiment that can bo carried out by means of a Scldllta powder, one of the last things In the world, says Science and Invention, from which one would ex pect any amusement. Secure un empty Jain Jur and get a good-sized cork to act as a btopper to this. In tho center of thu cork bore a hole, through which opening a funnel Is pushed. The way In which this Is done on a be seen from the sketch. Next, from brightly col ored tissue paper cut the shapes of three or four butterflies. In tho middle of each of th?se, Just between the wings, fasten with glue a thin 1trlp of cork. This serves to act as a body for the paper Insect and also helps In thu balance of thu butterllles when they nre In the air. Fill the Jar about half full with water. Then Into It tip tho contents of the packed) forming the Seldlltz pow der. Quickly replace tho cork In the Jar and put the paper butterllles Into the funnel. Soon the gas generated by the effervescence rises and this causes the butterllles to fly up and down In a most lifelike manner. The effect continues for quite a good while, see- Flying Paper Butterflies. lug that the comparative Bmallness of the opening of the funnel only allows a little of thu bus to pass out at a time. This Is all-sutllclent to keep the butterflies flitting up and down In u luosttfuscluatlug manner. Remarkable Snake Palm. In Cincinnati, O., a "snako palm", is on exhibition that bloomed without earth or water.
