LET WHISTLERS BE WARNED New York Newspaper Is Emphatic in Its Declaration of Uncom promising Hostility. Reader,, have you ever been mnde frantic and exasperated beyond meas ure by some 'man whistling in your neighborhood?

"By Mr. ltomjuo: A saving law : to the. committee on Mr. Andrews of Nebraska: A bill (II. entitled An net to save daylight and to provide standard time for the Unit ed States,' approved March 10, 1018; to tho committee on Interstate and foreign commerce.' These aro samples of bills which crowd the Congressional Record these days. There aro also memorials from Btnto legislatures asking for tho re peal of the daylight-saving law. As for petitions, they aro legion. In general, the agricultural com munities want the law repealed, and tho Uban communities think It Is a good thing. It Is merely human nature that those who wnnt It repealed nro making the bigger showing. Representa tive Mnnn of Chicago says of the general "The people in Chicago and other light saving law, while those In the country aro for its repeal." The nntional war garden commission of what this extra hour of daylight meant to the wnr gardeners of the country may be gathered from the actual amount of working time It presented as a freo gift to the home food producers. This extra hour given each afternoon to tho wnr gardener meant a total of 182 hours during seven months of 0 working days each. Multiplying this figure by the number of war gardeners In the United States 5,285,000 It' gives the stupendous aggregate of 001,- 570,000 hours of time, or 329,407 years Senator C&ider of New York, author of the bill, says in part: "It saved In 1918 In gas and electric lights bills not less than 10 per cent of tho money formerly spent. It saved nt least 1,000,000 tons of cottl." Of course the farmers und tho communities which live by the sun rntlier than by tho clock hnve arguments on It looks like a warm contest in congress.

America to their native lands hits set C " tion of Labor, and also by persons loldlng that post-bellum exclusion of immigrants would stem the tide of marchy setting toward America. Aside from those emigrating becnuso of lack of employment there nppenrs k be two well-defined classes of foreign population about to return to Europe. One class Is composed of those who are going back to succor relatives in the war-devastated regions nnd whoMntcnd to return to America, In. most Instnnces bringing their kin with thein before the .threatened passage of an Immigration suspension law. The other class comprises natives of the liberated countries of Europe, such as Czecho-Slovnks and .Tugo-Slavs, who migrated to America to escnpe tyranny and now Intend to return in the belief that they can live peaceably nnd happily under the conditions of tho new regime. Helgoland Island May Be NE of tho possible ironies of tho great war Is the use of Helgoland Island as a bird sanctuary. At a recent meeting of the British Boyal Society for the Protection of Birds, a resolution to this effect wus passed und the propo sition hns been received with consid erable favor In Enghind. Although Helgoland Is separated from England by most of tho brendth of the North sea It Is believed that the establish ment of a bird sanctuary 'on the lslnnd will be. of benelit to mnny of tho Brit ish birds. It will give theiii a breed ing place safe from molestation, nnd mnny birds may come to English shores. A stranger transformation than thnt proposed for Helgoland could scarcely be Imagined. During the fortress. It was tho keystone of Germany's nnvnl defense. For years before the war It had been prepared for precisely the role It played. The handful of Inhabitants were lsolnted from the rest of the world and naval' works of stupendous magnitude were carried out. Throughout the war Helgoland loomed as n great stronghold of German might. It was a name hated In Great Britain. Its strength forbade and gave the Germans a handy bnso It Is a pleasing fancy to think of Helgoland as n paradise of birds.

CO-OPERATION IS GREAT HELP Faith In Possibilities of Organization Is Essential Must Be Expressed In Deeds. 'Prepared by tbo United States Depart' ment of Agriculture.) While populnr faith among farmers In co-operation ns a means of Improv Ing marketing methods has been strong In recent years ami has brought about the formation of a large number of associations, the term co-oporatlon has been employed in such a way that many people have come to believe that a co-operatlW organization offers a solution for almost nil dlillcultlcs on countered In the marketing of farm products. A great deal may be ucconv plished through organized effort when it is properly applied and correctly employed, but too much emphasis, say marketing specialists of the United States department of agriculture, can not be placed on the fact that co-oper- ntlon is not automatic and Is not u solution for nil mnrketlng Ills. Fnlth In the possibilities of co-oporatlon Is csentlal to its success, but this faith must be expressed In deeds ns well as words.

COKN WEEVIL. MENACE TO GRAIN SHIPPERS Can Uso Only Precautionary Measures in Elovators. Aim Should Be to Destroy Insects DC- fore Grain Is Shipped Estimated Loss of 10 Per Cent In Southern States. (Prepared by tho United States Depart ment of Agriculture,) Tho grain shipper In tho Southern states has to contend with one prob lem peculiar lotlmt region which Is be yond his control. ot ho can indirect ly exort an lniluoifto toward Its eradi cation. The problem Is weevils in corn. Willie the matter rests primarily with tho farmer, und while he Is a heavier loser than tho shipper, the business of the latter Is handicapped. Against the Increase of live 'weevils In corn tho shipper can use only pre cautionary measures while tho grain Is in Ids elevator or in transit after ship ment. The ulm should bo to destroy them before the grain is shipped. When this is not done tho weevils may Increase enormously In hot wenther, should tho cur be delayed In truusit or not be unloaded promptly on Its ar rival at the terminal market. If tho grain, when inspected nt tho terminal market, is found to bo "in fested with live weevils or other In sects Injurious to stored grain," it will be gmded sample grado under tho npr plication of tho federal grades, Com shipped us No. 0, for InbTnhec, might easily fall to sample grado becauso of Its being Infested with live weevils. A point that the grain shipper must consider Is that the corn may go Into storago on Its arrival at a tenulnul market. No terminal elevator com pany will put corn containing llvo wtovlls Into Its bins unless Intending to treat tho grain ut once In order to kill the weevlln. While the grain dealer can destroy the Weevils In his elevator or ware house, this does not ulToct tho sourco of supply which Is on the furin. It has been estimated that weevils cause an average animal loss of 10 per cent of tho corn crop In the Southern states. This loss can bo prevented. The control of weevils, It Is said, is simple. It Is discussed nt length In Farmers' Bulletin No. 1020 of the Unl ted States department of agriculture. Evcrj' grain dealer should send for n cony. It Is, obvious that the grain dealers interests aro identical with tho turn er's In the matter of the eradication of the weevil. Therefore, tho grain dealer should join tho farmer In a light against the pest. PREVENT SAGGING OF GATES Run Piece of Steel Wire or Cabla From Top of Frame Post to Opposite Corner.
