SAID THE CROPS
Alberta Spent Half-Million Dol
lars to Protect 382,Q00,0C0.
Government's Campaign AgainsJ the
Grasshoppers Nets Big Return
for the Farmers.
The Pro.vlnce of Alberta spent more
than half a million dollars in 1!)22 In
the destruction of grasshoppers, but
saved to the farmers of the province
approximately $29,(XX),000 worth of
crop, according .to returns received by
the Dominion Department of Agricul
ture from municipal secretaries and
others. Of the total cost of $512,253, the
municipalities and local improvement
districts are charged with $257,040,
the provincial government bearing the
balance.
The success of the campaign forms
an outstanding example of the result
of organized and concentrated govern
ment, municipal and community effort.
Not only government officials, but mu
nicipal authorities, farmers and even
the citizens of the towns anil some of
the cities In the Infested area, played
their part in winning victory over a
pest that threatened to wipe out the
chip vegetation and rob the farmers
of the fruits of their labors.
Grasshopper Infestation in Alberta
became serious some years ago, but
aside from government efforts to edu
cate the farmers in the matter of ai>-
plylng poison bait, und to provide ma
terial at certain centers, there was no
real or united effort to combat the
pest. It was at the begluing of 1922
that the minister of agriculture and
his officials realized that a combined
effort onthe part of all concerned was
needed If the crops of a large portion
of the province were to be saved from
devastation. Alberta by tills time had
begun to feel the effects of lack of ac
tion In Montana, where Infestation
was enormous, and from which lnrge
flights into Alberta had taken place.
In order to combat this pest every
possible medium of education was util
ized. Meetings were held, pamphlets
were Issued and the newspapers gave
generously of their space. Scowts were
appointed to see that Infested areas
were poisoned, and, the government
supplied the bait mficers and paid the
men who ran them, the cost being
charged against the district. The bait
used was a mixture of bran, sawdust,
salt, molasses and arsenic. It was
to be most effective when ap
plied between the h mrs of C :30 and 10
in the morning, before the bait had
dried out under the sun, and during
the hours when the hoppers were feed
ing.
Where bait was left in bulk and
gasy of access by live stock, or where
it was carelessly scattered so that
there was any quantity in one spot,
there was loss of live stock. With
carefuf handling and scattering of
bait according to directions, there can
be no danger to stock, experts say.
A New Trick in the Trade.
What Is apparently a new way of
diamonds into this country
has just been brought to light in New
York. It consists of bringing the
stones back from the other side In
setting made in this country, the Idea
apparently being that, while the set
tings* can eusily be identified as of
American manufacture, there is no
way of knowing whether the diamonds
have ever been in this country before.
The game is worked either by taking
the mountings over empty or set with
inferior stones of the same size as
those brought back. In the instance
N referred to, the diamonds were said to
be so roughly set In the mountings as
to preclude their being worn for more
than a short time.
Following Orders.
A couple of drummers were walking
to a small town in a feud district.
They had heard stories of what hap
pens to revenue officers and were
somewhat timorous. At a turn of the
road there burst into view a native
with a couple of ugly dogs. He imme
diately began to yell: "Lie down and
keep still."
The drummers promptly stretched
out flat on the .muddy road. The
mountaineer strode up and demanded:
"What is the matter with you guys?
Are you crazy?"
"You told us to lie down and keep
•till."
"I meant the dogs." 1

RICH IM WITCHCRAFT LORE
Library at the University of Cornell
Has Complete Collection In
This Line.
The library of Cornell university Is
said to contain the most complete col
lection of witch and witchcraft litera
ture extant. Taking his text largely
from this collection, Hendrlck Van
Loon tells many interesting facts
about this superstition which was re
sponsible for the loss of so many thou
sands of innocent lives, in tho persecu
tion of whom, for once, both Prot
estant and Romanist co-operated, and
it is difficult to say which was the
more energetic.
The mention of Salem, Mass., is al
most sure to bring tlioughts of witches.
Indeed, this quaint New England vil
lage offers almost the only instance in
this country where witches were tor
tured for their supposed witcherj.
Compared with the activities of other
countries, however, Salem's record was
small, amounting to but about 20 vic
tims over a period of 100 years, while
In Europe, about the same time, one,
judge alone is credited with sentencing
15,000 persons to death by torture on
charges of witchery.—Detroit News.
ONLY ONE SUN GUN IN WORLD
At Noon Sun's Rays Are Focused on
Cannon in Portugal and It
Fired Automatically.
An automatic sun gun, the only one
known to be in existence in the world,
Is at the Pena castle at Cintra, Portu
gal, some twenty miles from Lisbon.
The castle is one of the finest monu
ments of its kind in the world. It was
once a stronghold of the Moors; in
fact, the last that the Moors held in
Portugal.
This sun dial and gun gives the
correct time to the surrounding towns
and hamlets from Its height of 2,000
feet. The cannon between the quad
rant on the front of the dial Is of
bronze and supports a convex lens on
adjustable arms, adjustable for twelve
months at a time. At noon each dajr
the sun's ruys are focused on the
touch-hole of the cannon and thus It
Is automatically fired. Pena castle

king of Portugal, from which he fled

NO THOUGHT GIVEN TO VICTIM
Only the Criminal's Side Considered !
by Penologists at Their
Convention.
|
The warden of Sing Sing recently J
pleaded before a convention of '
penologists for the abolition of capital j
punishment.' He argued that many |
men do not fear death, and hence are j
not deterred from murder by the j
threat of death. The warden evident
ly is a benevolent man, who views the
whole matter from the prisoner's point
of view.
In Uiat —tmivention of penologists
the enuse of the convicted criming j
seemed to be pleaded from every an- i
gle. There wasn't a word in favor of I
the victims of criminals, those whom
they robbed, clubbed, shot, Injured or
killed.
A poor man, or a hard-working wom
an, Is robbed of the weekly wage or
the year's savings by some lazy,
vicious, worthless rascal. A citizen of
good habits, of productive value, Is
jobbed of his life by a brutal, perhaps
u drug-eating wretch who hasn't one
good point "in'hls favor. The indigna
tion of the sentimentalists is not
aroused. Most of the protests one
hears come from the tehder-hearted
who have no compassion for the vie- ,
tlms, but are sedulously concerned for j
the thug's comfort of mind and body,
and even for the sensitiveness of Ills
feelings.
Capital punishment may or may not
be justified. A really intelligent aud
imaginative man would fear death less ,
than life-long Imprisonment at hard j
labor. What is demanded, however, Is j
certainty and celerity in punishment, I
and h degree of punishment d**s pre- |
vent crime, and that crime flourishes j
in proportion to the delay and uncer- 1
talnty of punishment.
The Journal recently cited the ex- j
perience of Judge Thayer of Massa
chusetts. By severity of sentence be |
stopped crimes of violence in Spring- |
field and Worcester. When knaves go |
unwhipped of justice, their Impunity
encourages other knaves to steal, in
jure, kill. When a inanslayer swings,
when the rbbber gets a long term at
hard labor with no time off, when the
gunman is sent up relentlessly to
prison in which he isn't coddled and In
which he stays twelve or fourteen
years, then and only then is a decent
citizen safe on the streets and In his
home. —Minneapolis Journal.
Legends of Grand Conyon. #
An Indian- legend says that the
Grand Canyon of Colorado was made
single handed by Pack-l-tha-a-wl, who
was armed with a large Hint knife and
a big stick. Once upon a time the
world was covered so dc- p with water
that nobody knew what to do until
Pack-I-tha-a-wl took the Initiative. The
knife he thrust deep hito the heart
of the earth, hammering until the can
yon was formed. Another legend says
that there was a great chief who
mourned the death of his wife Tav
woats. One of the Indian gods came ,
to and told him ills wife was in a |
happier land, and offeree! to take him
there that he might see lor himself, If,
upon his return, he would cease to j
mourn. The great chief promised.

Indian Summer. 4
In North America a period of mild, ,
ba'my weather, usually occurring In
November, characterized by a clear j
sky and a hazy or smoky atmosphere, j
especially near the horizon, Is known j
as Indian summer. The name Is said !
to be derived from the custom, among
the Indians, of using this time of year
to harvest their corn. According to
one of their traditions, "they always
had a second summer of nine days
Just befor# the winter set In." Indian
summer corresponds to a similar sea
son prevailing during the late autumn
In England and the Mediterranean
countries, called "St. Martin's sum
mer," from St. Martin's festival, which
falls on November 11. Shakespeare ,
refers to this In Henry VI, part first,
as follows:
This night the steue assuredly I'll raise;
Expect St. Martin's summer, halcyon
days.

KURT LUM3ERING IN BKAcIL
Lack a! Capital, Excessive Taxes and
Poor ;-3usiness Methods Hamper In
dustry, U. S. Observer Reports.
The lumber Industry of the Amazon
at present is coping with niany' diffi
culties, of "which the following are
most in evidence, according to n report
recently made for the Hrn/.lllan deport
ment of agriculture, Industry and com
merce: Insufficiency of capital, lack of
knowledge and correct business meth
ods, and excessive export taxes, sa.ve
Assistant Trade Commissioner M. A.
Cremer. Every one is suffering from
the lack of capital. The lumber mer
chants have been particularly affect
ed by the situation and a number of
them have failed. Money rates are
high, some banks obtaining as high as
2 per cent a month. This retards the
establishment of mills, acquisition of
boats and land and exportation In gen
eral.
Ihe lack of knowledge of correct
Business methods is evidenced by the
fact that lumber merchants look only
profit, falling to take
the future into consideration. It will
be necessary to place properly graded
lumber on the market, and not con
tinue marketing In the primitive man
ner pursued at present, says Sir. Cre
mer.
For the last live years the export
taxes on lumber have been increasing
so that it Is getting to be the most
taxed product of the State of I'nra.
This fact makes the business of ex
porting very unprofitable and lnse
cure Tor Investment. At present the
port tax on lumber at I'uru In very
high, due to the fact that It is a bulky
article and Its value- Is small In pro
portion «> its weight. At the time
the classification of taxes on exports
was mn4e, very little lumber was ex
ported and therefore It was Included
in the general classification.
Necessary minor Improvements wor
thy of consideration are, according to
the report: Sanitary regulations and
better living conditions should be en
forced in the lumbering districts; the
weight of the wrlous kinds of woods
should be officially established, and a
complete study should I* made of
the:r strength; samples of the most
important woods should be placed In
ull lirazllkin consulates so that these
woods may become known abroad and
misstatements prevented regarding
their Origin when re-exported ; freight
rates sluwsld be reduced, and small
state custom houses to collect export
tuxes should oe placed In two or three
places in tho sfctte.

Glen King laughed, but the golden
haired child ou his knee warned:
"It Is true what Jim says. I saw
the witch one evening Just as 'I was
going off to sleep. Sister Monna had
tucked me into bed and kissed me
good-night. She threw a rose from the
edge right through my window and

Glen sat long in the moonlight at i

usual vas absent. As he sat across
the moon-lit path fled a shadow. He
got to his feet. Interested—the witch,
| beyond a doubt. He saw a dark en
veloping cape, a peaked hood rolled
low.
The witch eluded him; but moon
light showed a touch of scnrM lining,
where the person's arm had tightened
| for a moment the cape about her—
or him.
Next day Glen King astonishingly
received notice that his services on the
great engineering commission were
dispensed with. AVhen he sought out
his chief John Klrkwood received him
coldly.
"This grieves me more than It can
possibly grieve you," he said. "If I

parently been eager to help me to
subdue. You were an active gambler

said brusquely, and went to pack his
things.

"But to think," Glen murmured bro

"Out Hob," Jim confirmed, "is

bowed his head In his head —toward
him a slender figure came. The negro
flew. "The witch!" th jllshearten. d

head. Monna stood before him. A
dark cape wrapped about her, lis lin

him a wide black ribbon. "The peaked
