Just at present the sheep herder's CATCH AND DESTROY MOTHS Improvement en Plan of Banding Tree With Burlap Has Been Devised by an Expert.' , It When the codling moth larva has done its best to destroy the appearance of the ripest and rosiest fruits it can find, it seeks a place to spin a cocoon, and for this purpose it generally crawls up or down a tree trunk. Hence the usual method of trapping the moth is to wrap a band of burlap around the tree trunk. An improvement on this method, devised by E. H. Sigler of the United States bureau of entomology employs a wire screen over the burlap band to form a trap into which the larva enters and spins its cocoon, but from which it cannot escape as a moth. To make the trap" strips of burlap six inches wide are folded into three thicknesses. The loose bark from the lower branches and trunk of the tree is removed. A strip of this burlap is folded once around the trunk and held in place by large tackis, driven in such - a way that the edge projects about of an inch beyond the burwire screening lap. with' twelve meshes to the ' inch is then cut into strips six inches wide, and the edge of each strip is of an folded twice, allowing inch to each fold. The strip of screening should be long enough to allow for an overlap 'of three to four inches when placed around the tree over the burlap. It is tacked to the tree so that both the Tipper and lower edges fit snugly ; Black-painte- d one-fourt- h lot is a fairly happy one, Frank R. Arnold writes in. Popular Mechanics magazine. He gets $100 a month be sides bis expenses, and one never can see his sheep wagon without wanting to leave civilization for a few months and take to the range. It is the most compact dwelling bouse on wheels that has ever been devised. For utilizing all possible space it can give lessons even to a dining car or a sailboat It is dining car and sleeping car in one, and historically forms a permanent link between western pioneers days, when every one traveled in a prairie schooner, and automobile days when the sheep wagon is used only to follow the herd during the winter and spring. until It disappears up on the high sum mer range, where only a saddle horse can penetrate. The wagon, which for months la thus the home of two sheep herders, has a long, narrow body, to give free dom to the wheels, but above the wheels it flares out enough to give a broad room with benches along both sides. It has three coverings of canvas for greater warmth in winter, and a stove screwed to the floor near the front door. The back part of the canvas covered space serves as bedroom, containing nothing but a bed, to which air Is supplied by sliding glass windows to the rear end of the wagon. Attached to the bed Is a folding table, and under It are small drawers and a large bin to contain the herder's sip-plof flour and grain. y BUILT UP POLISH INDUSTRIES I Russia's Expulsion of Jews From Moscow Had Results Unforeseen by Muscovite Statesmen. An odd bit of commercial history comes to light with the granting of citizenship to Jews In Poland, and shows how Russia, in expelling the race from Moscow, provided Poland with a human factor of great Importance In developing her own industrial resources, the Christian Science Mon- itor recalls. Politically Poland lay helpless in the grip of her powerful neighbor, resisting as best she might that neighbor's determination to destroy the last vestige of Polish national existence.

Na- There isn't anything that can draw together the races, nationalities and religious beliefs like the good, American game of baseball. In a game played on the Fourth of July an American who witnessed it in describing one of the play6 says: A batter whose name showed him to be of Polish descent, had reached first base. A German went to bat A pitcher with a French name pitched the ball and the German knocked a high fly. A Jew ran after it and dropped it He picked the ball up and threw it to an Englishman at second. The Englishman threw the ball to an Irishman on first and a double play was made and the German and the Pole were declared out From where the spectator sat he could have reached out his hand and touched a German, a Russian, a Jew, an Italian and a negro. Several negroes were seated together watching the game. The umpire made a deciOne of the negroes did not sion. agree with the decision and he said the "empire" was "rotten." He'd bet $2 the "empire" was wrong, and he took $2 from his pocket. An American in soldier's uniform took the bet and covered the $2. The soldier explained the rule to the negro, and the negro said : " 'Pears to me dat's right, after all." Then the American put his own $2 back in his pocket and returned the $2 he had won on the bet back to the negro. What other athletic game could be played In this world with such representation of peoples as are to be found at a baseball game? The best of it all is that the soldiers having It overseas.

Profit sharing has been used In various forms since at least 1829, being most active in the last 40 years, Park Mathewson writes In the Magazine of Wall Street. Pioneers In profit sharing1, such as Lever Bros, of Port Sunlight, Eng., and Cambridge, Mass.; N. O. Nelson Manufacturing company of the model town of Leclalre near St. Louis, Mo. ; Procter & Gamble of Ivory- dale, O., and numerous other smaller or less known companies have operated on the plan successfully for over a quarter of a century. many other fundamental and social movements, profit sharing clearly came from the old countries, g for one of the finst successful plans In the United States was founded In Leclalre, III., named after the "father of profit sharing," Monsieur Leclalre of Maison Leclaire, Paris, France. There are many modifications of profit sharing, as laid down in one of the complete and fundamental discussions of the subject, printed some forty years ago, and It Is well to have In mind the differentiations of the true profit sharing and Its various offshoots, such as bonus giving, holiday gifts, production bonus, pensions, welfare work, etc. g profit-sharin- As-wi- th profit-sharin- Bohemia Czecho-Slovakl- a.
