WThe SeaquiCentennial Exposition is a financial failure, Mayor Kendrick said today. It opened Juno I, in celebration oi the 460th anniversary of the tflgfllrtg of the Declaration of Independence and leas than five million persons have paused through the Rates, leaving the city to shoulder a big deficit. "The financial failure of the exposition," sad the mayor, "has been due, not to the management, hut to the failure of the people to go there. While we should huve had 25,000,000 people in attendance, we have hud less than 6,000,000. K. L. Austin, director-general, suys that the exposition in runnitiR behind between $25,000 and $40,000 a week in operating expenses aolne. Unpaid claim* of contractors for construction and other work urrrcRate more than $2,000,000. Enemies of Flowers and Their Control The manner in which an insect feeds upon plants larRely determines the insecticide that should be used, says the United States Department of Agriculture. Insects are provided either with chewing or suckinR mouth parts. When plants or<? attacked by insects of the chewing type,*, such as leaf-eating beetles, grasshoppers and caterpillars, some stomach poison such as arsenate of lead spray is suitable, according to Farmesr' Bulletin 1 -105-F, "Insect Enemies of the Flower Garden." Since sucking insects, such as thrips, aphids, scale insects and mealybugs, are not affected by stomach poisons because of the fact that they draw their food from within the plant, insecticides for them must kill by their burning action, by poisoning through the breathing apparutus, or by suffocation. One of the best sprays for this purpose is nicotine or tobacco solution. A satisfactory spray for use against both chewing and sucking insects, combining as it does the properties of the stomach poison and the contact insecticide, may be made by adding to each gallon of arsenate of lead solution one-half ounce of soap and one teaspoonful of nicotine sulphate. A copy of the bulletin, which gives considerable information concerning numerous" insect enemies of plants, particularly those attacking flowers, may ho obtained free, as long as the supply lasts, by writing the Department of Agriculture, Washington, I).

Tint most typical African animal Is a subject that will staff an urguISIui among the ldg-game hunter* uh quickly an" will the question of which animal Ik the most dangerous. A rcql con top tier If tho rhinoceros, nays William D, Jloyco, In Illustrated J Africa. Tho rhinoceros and the. elephant are clone rival* for the honor of' being the most powerful mammal now living. The Ave specie* of rhlnoceroH are fqynjj/ nowhere outHide the warm Kcctlori of Africa, Aula and the Indian archipelago, although In very distant centuries. In what geologists term the FOocene and Miocene ages, the rhinoceros was native to Europe and North America, and foH.nl! evidence of a great woolly specich has been found In England, Europe and hihcrla. .This great, iftolid brute Is ftiat disappearing from the plains of Africa, and, like the . elephant, Is gradually retreating for protection against the hunters, Into the forests, a hunter Is now permitted to kill but one rhino; formerly there was uo limit. This funr footed monster really Is a giant- pig with many of the habits of a pig; weighing from one to two and one half tons, he looks a most unwieldy animal, yet he can he as nimble as n cat and thole are times when one suspects that he has the traditional nine lives of the cat. Ills food . consists chiefly of roots, which he grubs up with his powerful nose upon which the horn, composed of hard skin/and matted hair, grows bigger as he gets older. The horn of the rhinoceros finds a ready market at $2 a pound in China, where It Is ground Into powder and sold, according to reports, for iuhalutlon as a medicine. - |n his native environment, the rhinoceros is almost as deceptive #Ih appearance as Is the African buffalo. Looking at him when he Is standing In the grass staring at nothing in particular, seemingly thinking very hard, with a farawuy look In his tiny wicked eye, one imagines that ire thoroughly enjoys the attention of his friends, the tick birds, which feed on the ticks Infesting his hide. The tick bird not only keeps the rhinoceros moderately clean, but acts n? a guard and alarm clock for him. ills eyesight is very poor. Loud squawks from the birds stir him Iftto activity; up goes his nose, swinging from side to side, as he tries to get wind of tho danger which tins alarmed his feathered sentinels. -a -4>'- ?c l Grave to Gay ^ Mrs. Dertha A. Iv. Lnndes, mayor of Seattle, said at a recent luncheon: "To tolerate polltlcn) graft is disrespectful to our country, to the American Ideal. Yes, every man and woman who tolerates graft and corruption Is as disrespectful to Americanism as the footman?if T may turn from grave to gay?was disrespectful to the duke. "A inovfe actor, for a Joke, masI queraded nt a friend's dinner party where the guest of honor was a pompous old duke. "In the middle of the tneal the duke caught the bogus footman's eye across the room and said; " 'Another glass of champagne, if you please.' "ltut the footman frowned and shook his linger at the old nobleman. 44 'No, boss.' lie said, In a loud voice. 'I can't give you 110 more. You've had too much already.'" Not So Good! A man who plays golf in the neighborhood of par was going around the course one Sunday morning when he overtook a foursome of women who slowed his -grime considerably. After playing back of them for two or three boles, much to his utter disgust, tje commented on the situation to four men who lind caught up with blip. "I certainly feel sorry for y^u If you want to get around before noon," he said. "If you ever get- bnck of those women, you have to stay back." "Well, you see," explained one of the players apologetically, "the wives haven't played very much. Any time they hold you hack Just tell us. They are Just learning, you know." ? "Sol" Name of New Month "Sol" is the name proposed for the new month that wontd he created If the projected Cosworth calendnrfwas put Into use. This. calendar would have J3 standard months of 28 days each, the 28th falling 011 Saturday.' J The new month would be inserted between June and July. The 365th day of the year would be December 20 but It would have no week-day name. It would be known as "Year day't and would be a holiday, and in leap year the extra day would be placed between June 28 and the first day of "Sol." It would he known as "Leap day."

This food value is worth dollars and cents when one attempts to replace it with commercial fertilizer, says,J. K. Hooker. Extension Agricultural Engineer, who shows that there is a place on the farm for manpre pits to stop this ruthless robbery of the soil. Referring to the results of investigation reported in Pennsylvania Experiment Station Circular 67, he shows that barnyard manure has a value of at least five dollars a ton. In addition to its plant food, manure represents organic matter worth almost ( as much to the soil as is its plant | food. "Organic matter makes that plant food already ipresent more available for. the plants," he reminds. "It supplies food for beneficial soil bacteria, prevents washing, and increases the capacity of the soil for waterholding. According to Mr. Hooker, waste can * i be reduced to a minimum by constructing a concrete manure pit. lu this pit the liquid manure as well as the solid is waved. Us construction is simple und is not very expensive. It is best to locate this pit a short distance below the barn. It has a concrete floor and walls. The walls are usually built four feet high. 3 The floor and walls are six inches thick. A ? basin for the collection of liquid manure is usually built behind the main pit, with a small opening in the separating wall t* opermit drainage of liquids into this basin. This basin sets deeper in the ground. Of course the pit djNlt?i?ioriB will be governed by the number pf livestock kept in the barn. !There, be a aheiUr'over thsTn 9 to keep out ruin. 1 Ityraona planning to build a manujrtt J pit will do well to consult Mr. l^kar J at the Chamber of Commerce, Colum ] biar He will be glad to give his fr?e 1 services in any farm cpnerete consul |m?on.
