EARTHQUAKE IN OFFICIAL WAR FILMS i © OF FRENCH NATION TO BE SHOWN HERE : Thousands of Americans are al- ready planning how they will go to Europe as soon as the war is over that they may visit the historic battle scenes and view the havoc that has been wrought. But the French of- ficial war films, which are being shown throughout the United States, under the auspices of the New York World, will -give far more than will be seen by even the first of the for- tunate tourists. These pictures will be shown at the ‘Grand theater tonight and tomorrow. H. Alexander Powell, who as its correspondent, secured for the World from the French government auth- orization to present these official French films to American audiences, says they show as nothing else could how modern warfare runs its daily course of give and take. CHARTER CHANGES AT CROOKSTON ARE DEFEATED AT POLLS Crookston, Minn., July 7.—All five amendments to the city charter were defeated in the most bitter election Crookston has ever known. The amendment authorizing the council to reject bids for city print- ing, when in their opinion, there was a combination among the newspapers, was defeated with the rest. The fight centered on the amendment authoriz- ing an increase of seven mills in the tax levy for the city general fund. Street meetings were held by the amendment champions during the campaign in which free rein was giv- en to bitter invectives. J. E.

You may laugh at the notion, but believe me this is a sure index of the state of the air for sev- eral days to come. Make your hay so dry as to prevent its heat- ing, but look out that you do not make it a mere parched straw, ‘without any of its natural juices. Cut close and even at the bot- tom, for remember that an inch at the bottom outweighs many at the top. We want dry weath- er, you know, for this business, and it will be best to improve the fore part of the season, as less rain falls then than in the latter part.—From an old Farm- er’s Almanac.

A New Vineyard Pest Creating Havoo In Ohio. ’ [Prepared by Ohio station.] One of the most serious pests of the grape Industry in Ohlo within recent years is the grape berry worm, a small insect that bores into the young grapes and causes them to be worthless for marketing. Entomologists at the Ohio experiment station have been studying this moth since 1906 in the Lake Erle Ssectlon and have just published in bulletin 293 the results of their investi- gations in controlling it. The two broods of the moth are eas- ily controlled by proper spray meas- ures. In some cases large vineyards have been so infested with the insect that the crops were not worth picking. In others where the owners sprayed the vines carefully less than 1 per cent of the crop was injured. The first spray is applied when the grapes are about one-eighth of an inch in diameter. Four pounds of arsenate of lead paste is used with the 2-3-50 formula of bordeaux mixture and two pounds of dissolved soft soap as a sticker. About six weeks later, on Aug. 8 to 12, the same mixture is again applied to kill the second brood. Hand | spraying is preferable to machine ap- | plication. The experiment station ex.| perts say that sprayings at other times have failed to control the grape berry worm in Ohijo. FhAGRANCE OF FRESH ROSES R. L.
