Farmers are very indignant over the matter and will prosecute all offenders caught on their farm lands hereafter. Notice to the hunters will be given through this paper in the near future. A well known agriculturist says that the Hessian fly wilu probably be troublesome next year. That scourge gets a lodgement in the fall months in the early new sown wheat and the best remedy known is to sow the wheat very late. This year he commends the first week in October for sowing winter whpat in the northern and border states and proportionately later in the Southern states. One field sown early in a neighborhood will endanger all others nearby.

RAINY DAYS ON THE ISTHMUS Inhabitants of Panama Strip Certainly Cannot Reproach Nature With Niggardliness. For nine months of the year It "rains some” on the Isthmus of Panama. The precipitation of one month not long ago was 69 inches. This broke even the Panama rainy season record and nothing like it has occurred since, but with something like an average of twelve feet of rainfall In nine months the Isthmus can keep up a showing of dampness without being worried about an ability to live up to soaking records. Gatun lake, the artificial body of water created by Lieut Cot William L. Sibert by the hard process of damming the unruly Chagres river, is now, at the close of the rainy season, at the high level which the army officer predicted it would reach. The Chagres pouring into the valley made the lake, but the rains made the Chagres. For the next three months the river will be little more than a trickling rill, but water enough has been stored to keep the lake level as it Is until the rains descend and the floods come once more as they have descended and come uninterruptedly ever since the day of Balboa, and since how long before nobody knows. The United States government has built a lock canal across the Isthmus of Panama. A sea-level waterway would have been Imperative If the skies above the Isthmus were not In the habit of weeping day Ln and day out for nine-twelfths of the year. Some of the Panamans through the years probably looked upon the drencblngs as a curse, but commerce must look upon them as a blessing. Every mile of the way through the canal, except for the comparatively short distances of the ocean approaches, the trading ships of the world will sail through fresh rain water. All water is rain water, but down at Panama, somehow or other, It seems as if a “liquid differentiation’’ properly might be made. BIG PROFITS OF GRIDIRON Football Is Easily the Greatest Money Getter Among all College Sports. To any one who has seen even one of the minor fall contests upon the gridiron it will not be surprising to learn that football is the greatest money-maker among all the college sports. The profits in any other field are comparatively negligible, and the football surplus each year helps to make up some of the deficit that results from maintaining unprofitable athletics. It is reported that Harvarn’s receipts from football last year were $114,864, of which $74,713 represented clear profit, while Princeton received $67,313 and achieved a neat profit of $32,322. These are gains of which any porfessional athletic enterprise might well feel proud, even in a season far less abbreviated than that in which football has to make its money. So it Is scarcely surprising that the athletic authorities of the colleges regard football as their most important sport. But the game holds that prestige not merely because of the fine showing made by Its financial balance sheet. It seems rather that the large Income is to be attributed to the prestige of college football as an exclusive and unique game. It occupies a field in which the undergraduates have everything practically their own way and are not yet disturbed by professional competition. As a sport it enjoys the especial distinction of the college stamp. Whale Meat Jap Delicacy. Canned whale meat as an emergency food is used by the Japanese army. It is one of the standard field rations. Whale meat itself is growing in popularity as a general staple of food throughout the Nippon islands. It Is sold fresh In the markets with other meats, and is also used by the populace after it has been canned. The meat has a strong fishy taste and rancid odor, which puts it outside the pale of a foreigner’s diet in Japan, but the natives pay little attention either to the taste or the smell. At the canning factories experiments are under way to remove the objectionable taste and odor. When this is done it is predicted that canned whale meat will become cheap food throughout the world. Wise Answer. "The late Bishop Bowman,” said a New York Methodist, ‘dined ono evening at a fashionable millionaire n In Fifth avenue. "Beside the bishop sat one of thoso dyed, decollete, elderly woman who are always trying to be brilliant. "This woman rattled off a lot of silly epigrams about Buddha and Mohammed, and so forth —then she turned to the bishop and said: " ‘What do you really think, bishop, of God’’ "The bishop answered with his calm smile: “ ‘I think, madam, that all that mat ters is what God thinks of me.’ ” Must Not Marry. By a vote of 70 to 30 the London county council decided that if the three women physicians in the employ of the council should marry they would no longer be eligible to their positions. It was argued that a woman can not attend to her family duties and public duties at the same time. Those who voted against disqualifying married physicians pointed out that many of the most successful womet teachers *re Berried,
