The students must learn to work their way through colleges as is the case in the United States. From the Y. M. C. A. point of view we are establishing model branches as we hope to show the new nations their way back to work and to self-help. "It Is not by saying Thou shalt not that the world can be bettered; it by showing the way. The Y. M. C. A. will help men to spend their idleness prolitably. It will adapt itelf to those nations and give them something permanent. There will be inole! Y. M.

Vhy Cantu Interests Uncle Sam

The clash between the Iluerta defacto Mexican government and Gen. de facto Mexican government and Gen. ern district of Lower California, is of direct interest to tili United States. The gnat irrigation project that diverts a part of the How of the Colorado river and waters the famous Imperial valley of California is partly on Mexican soil ami at the mercy of Cantu or his foes. Cantu has moved his district capital from Enseiiaza on the Pacific coast to Mexicali on the bonier, which makes him all but inaccessible. To get at him from the north Involves moving Iluerta troops through American territory. If Iluerta should by any possibility get permission to move his troops through American territory, It Is believed on the border that Cantu would at once wreck the Irrigation works. This would be the death blow of the Imperial valley, one of the most

fertile and productive regions of earth with its regular supply of Colorado river water. Without this supply it would quickly return to its original condition of desert. Reports from the border suggest that a move to separate Lower California from Mexico has been under way for several years. It is said that Cantu's administration has been such as to make all classes his enthusiastic supporters. He showed an adaptability to work hand in hand with American busl-i-ess men and resident, so that they are his warm partisans.

Roper's New Taxation Scheme

Daniel C. Koper, United States eommlssloner of internal revenue through the war period, makes a new suggestion regarding taxation. He risks the question, 'vhat proportion of the war-tax burden shall this generation be required to carry?" and ii: answer makes this suggestion: "It is my contention that with a i-eague of Nations for the encouragement of future peace, we would bo able to rive thereby to future generations a quid pro quo for the money spent for the war. and we could, with propriety, then extend the tax burden further Into the future. i also have ilie conviction that tils ouhl be accomplished by congress authorizing the return annually for live years of bonds to run, say. fifty ears in the amount of one-thin' of the taxes to all individual and co'. portion taxpaers wluxe taxes amount to us much as $l.r0 in a sinU.

TALKED

ABOUT A. Plans Abroad John It. Mott, general secretary of the International Y. M. C. A., in outlining the organization's plans for helping to reconstruct war-ravaged lands, says "there are too many holidays In Europe." Poland, according to Mr. Mott, has ninety holidays n year, besides Sundays, and Uoumania has probably twice that number. "This means idleness leading to political upheavals," declares the American. In giving the iirxt details of the Y. M. C. A. and World's Student Christian federation's proposed new efforts to help broken-down Europe, Doctor Mott said : "It isn't by giving bread, but work that reconstruction will be possible. 'One of the tasks on which I am now engaged Is to attempt to devise the wisest way to help the schools and universities of Europe from the decadence into which they were plunged . iv. '. . v.

BIG ACCOr.lPLISHr.lErJT BY JUNIOR CLUB BOY

Poland China Gilt Is Winner of Two First Prizes. William Stuart of Weiser, Idaho, Awarded Free Trip to International Stock Show-Swine Breeders Are Defeated. Does junior club work pay? Four or Ave years ago it was not looked upon seriously, but now the whole agricultural extension system as carried on by the federal government through the colleges and county agents, etc., is enthusiastic about this work, and the breeders themselves are beginning to believe that there is something In It. There Is a reason for this, and that is that some of the boys are showing their fathers that carefui selection and feeding will win out over slipshod or .poorly planned methods. A notable example of this Is the case of William Stuart, the fourteen-year-old son of Dan II. Stuart of Weiser, Idaho. This boy has been in pig-club work for two years. He selected for himself early last season a William Stuart and His Poland China Gilt Poland China pig for which he paid $17.f0. This pig was fed and shown at the Idaho state fair at IJoise this year. There it won first prize'for the champion pig over'all club contestants in the state, which entitled him to the S17f free trip to the International Live Stock Show. It next won the award of first place in the open class for Poland, China - sows under six months of age, in which competition he defeated the swine breeders of the whole state of Idaho. William Stuart's father is not a breeder of purebred hogs, but simply raises a good grade of Poland) China pigs for the market. Therefore this accomplishment by William in the feeding and developing of this prize pig represents what club work Is doing all over the country. The fact that banks throughout the country are taking an interest In this work speaks well for the good which it is accomplishing. William is one of thirty boys from all sections of the country who will visit the International Ihls year. CONTROL Of GARDEN INSECTS Spraying With Solution of Arsenate of Lead Is Effective for Potato Bugs or Beetles. Spraying with arsenate of lead will control potato bugs or beetles. This poison solution is trade of one pound of arsenate of lean to ten gallons of water, with a little laundry soap added to make the solution stick to the leaves. Cucumber, muskmelon and squash beetles may be controlled by dusting the plants with air-slacked lime mixed with lead arsenate powder. When plants of any kind are attacked by lice Plack Leaf 40 is generally used. Arsenate of lead and Plack Leaf 40 can be purchased at any drug store and they are usually accompanied by directions for their use. Control of vegetable insects and diseases depends much on prompt action as soon as their presence is noticed. Spraying and other methods are necessary some time or other every yea-, for every plant in the garden is in. fected at some time with either a disease, or an insect. PROTECT WOODS FIRE.

OATS NEED MORE ATTENTION Crop Rajnks Next to Corn and Wheat in Acreage and Value, but Yields Are Unsatisfactory. Oats rank next to corn and, wheat In crop acreage and value In the United. States. But, notwithstanding this, less attention has been given to the production of oats than to any other important grain, so that yields often have been unsatisfactory and the crop sometimes unprovable, say specialists of the United States department of agriculture.

ORIENTAL TYPE IS'POPULAR FAD

New York FalLFashions Display Note of Far East . Buits Heavily Embroidered JunQle Effects Are Supplied by Tufts of Monkey Fur. Fall fashion has Its far and 'near East problem. Shall the Serpent of the Nile be the season's ftvorite daughter, and shall slinky, vampish robes of gorgeous, hue be style's demand, or shall Helen of Troy, with white, Mowing and corded raiment, be the model that the times demand? asks a New York fashion correspondent. Whatever, the solution, today's Indications, as seen In the smart shops of Fifth avenue or In the tawdry shops of the Bowery, are that nothing In the realm of feminine raiment will be II faut for the coming season unless it bears some earmarks of the Orient. Said' earmarks may be almost literal, for one eastern note Is seen in earrings that dingle-dangle from many smart lids. Fall millinery fabric Itself is exotic with rich ; stuffs such as abound In Arabian Nights lore. There are rich brocades of purple or dusky rose, lustrous satins of Algerian blue or Chinese crimson, stiff ribbons of metallic thread interwoven with llower, bird ind buttertly designs, and even velvets embossed with rich embroideries in gold and silver, threads or incrusted with seed pearls or rhinestones. And from these gorgeous hats hang earrings of wooden beads in startling hues, or of black jet, or even real spurkling gems. Suits are heavily embroidered until they resemble the coronation robe of some fairyland prince. Wool and silk, metallic threads, jewels, colored hemp, or painted designs are used in working out this effect. Many of the suits and coats have the sleeves fairly embossed in embroideries and nllover embroidered bodices are very common. Some of the suits may be quite plain and simple in themselves, but are flecked by the Orient with a vest of some gorgeous fabric or a neck chain sold with the suit. Even appliques of black oilcloth are strewn over many garments, and hats are profuse with these oilcloth splashings in gay colors. A jungle effect is supplied by tufts of monkey "fur. which is the most modish trimming of the season.

Linen in Favor for Summer

Stanch Favorite Fabric in Loveliest Colors Must Be Embroidered to Be in Style. It Is delightful to see that real line::, as transparent and filmy as the finest of handkerchiefs. Is being worn once more, says Harper's Bazar. In the loveliest of colors it Is abroad on summer sands and lawns, but never as an unadorned fabric; It is invariably embroidered either in fine white cotton braid. In matching wool, or in satin ribbon. The ornamentation iult take the form of small motifs applied at equal distances, or of a single motif covering the entire front of the skirt, but ornamentation there must be. There is one other mode of adornment for these frocks broad bands of perforation exquisitely embroidered often give the effect of entro-deux. This renaissance of linen, however, has by no means submerged the popularity of organdie, which ts "used in mtny charming ways this season. Slips of black silk or satin, or of some colorv are often worn under full length, sleeved tunics of organdie which are left open in the front. Bo it white, rose or jade, the crisp transparent fabric Is unutterably lovely when thus combined. The chapeaux which surmount these nlry frocks are appropriately seductive. There Is one that may be recalled with joy; of pale pink organdie, generous In size and with slightly rolled back brim, it was wreathed uniquely with black and rchlte grape. One can but note the wiulence of fruit as trimming for

Kvening gowns are very much a la Cleopatra. Black net embroidered in an albover scroll pattern in black silk is very popular, and the g:iy oriental note is given by a rich girdle of velvet, or satin in many colors. Many of thes girdles and sashes extend into a train. Some of the trains are wired up so as to form a canopy behind milady.

There are certain women who, fondly Imagining they are possessed of Spanish beauty. Insist on draping themselves with floating veils on all occasions.
