Dec. 27.—Reports from the New Jersey coast this morning were that the gale and high tide had about subsided. The Scahrlghti fishermen.were working to restore! their homes which were destroyed,' while others wero badly wrecked. | Two barges which were wrecked; yesterday, have broken up. The: ten sailors forming the crews were| drowned, but their bodies have not yet teen found. [ The presence of thousands ofi rats along the border of Flushing Bay, and South Brooklyn, was an Interesting foature In that section today.

IS MAX WHO ABSCONDED WITH THOUSANDS WORKING TO PAY HACK TO BANK DEPOSITORS WHAT HE LOST. Another Can) of Thanks. Editor Tlmes-Enterprtse: Please permit me to explain through the columns of your valua ble a per Just hov- that car load of supplies was made up and shipped to the Georgia Baptist Orphans Heme at Hapevllle, Ga. The Campbell Association, nt Its last session appointed a committee to look after this work, and my un derstanding Is that the Mercer As sociation appointed a similar com mittee, Mr. C. M. Robinson being Chairman of tho Mercer Commit tee, and Rev. T. A. White chairman of the Campbell Committee. Mr. Robinson and I agreed to load a car jointly, which agreement was carried ,out and wo shipped the car to the Home at Hapevllle. Mr. Robinson worked hard, and his churches and friends did well. Now I accord them all 1 due credit for what they have done and Join him In offering thanks to all who as sisted ns In this good work, nnd In voke Heaven's benediction on them nnd theirs. I claim no credit for what I have done, but I do think that as an act of justice to the churches of the Campbell Associa tion. that her churches should havo credit for her Interest In that val uable car load of provisions and roods, which we sent to our orphan children. With a desire for "Peace on Earth and Good Will to all People,” permit me to say, no more joint cars for me. My motto Is, in the future, a full car load from each Associa tion. Yours truly, T. A. WHITE, Clim., Committee Campbell Association. Chicago, Dec. 27.—Paul Stcns- land, a former bank president, who absconded with a half million dol lars In 1906, Is not.' devoting his life to repaying the depositors. Tills fai t tva’s announced last night by Janies Kelly, who traced the banker to Morocco, where he was captured. Stenslsnd was brought to Chicago, whero ho made a full con fession, chnrglng Henry \V. Her ring, the bank’s cashier with the responsibility of the balance of tho two million dollar shortage. Stcns- land served a four-year prison term, and Herring also served a term. Kelley today sahl that Stensland had made good since leaving pris on, and that he had made lots of money. He has placed fifty per cent, of it In Kelly's hands, and hopes to add to It until he can pay the fifteen per cent, that the hank's receiver couldn’t. It Is reported that more than one hundred thousand dollars will he required to discharge all of the debt. RIG BUSINESS TAKING OPTIMIS TIC VIEW OF PROPOSED TRUST LEGISLATION AND TAKING IN ITIATIVE.

The Stock market which has Ion:? been under depress ing Influences, responded to the liange, with the best exhibition of sustained strength of several months past. The currency bill's passage, with its lato changes which wero favora bly interpreted In financial circles, together with the re-assuring state ment of President Wilson, when he signed that measure, had much to lo with the improving sentirient. The Administration's attitude re garding the trust situation, and tho expressed belief that other • large orporations would follow the lead of the American Telephone and Tele graph Company, in settling their differences with the government out <f <oi:rt, also had much influence in business circles. It was due to there things, and the fact that tho market was over sold at the recent doeline, that the recent stock rise was due. In this connection it is announced that the railroads of the country showed large decreases in their earn ing during the month of November, but better times are now anticipated.

Atlanta, Ga.—It Is Impossible to es timate in dollars and cents, says the Georgia State Board of Entomology, what this state has saved in the re cent past on account of strict quaran tine laws against plant insects and diseases. Hundreds of thousands of dollars more might havo been saved, if the quarantine laws had been en acted in tiuio to keep out such pests as tho destructive San Jose scale. Native enemies to vegetation, says the department, in a recent bulletin, havo grown steadily worse with im proved agriculture; and it is the duty of tlio state, through the department, as well as through laws governing tho shipment here of plants and trees, to meet these problems of seriously in jurious Insects and diseases, to eradi cate them where possible, and in arty event to minimize their power to de stroy.

Through tho Stato Department of Entomology, Georgia now makes an annual Inspection of all plants and trees offered tor sale In the state, and doos not permit the sale or distri bution of a single specimen that Is diseased. The department, likewise, maintains, under the Georgia laws, a strict quarantine against Infested nursery stock from other states and foreign countries. No nursery stock can be shipped Into Georgia from any where unless It has a certificate of Inspection from the entomologist In the state or coutnry In which It origi nates, as well as a certificate from the Georgia Department of Entomol ogy. Any shipments, made other wise, are In violation of the Georgia law and subject to prosecution. No person can even give legally to Ills friend or neighbor trees or plants un less they havo beon Inspected by the State Board of Entomology and found to be hoaltby. With the exception of tho boll wee vil there are no more serious Insect peats occurring In this country than brown tail and gypsy moths now pres ent In New England and many parts of Europe. There Is a strict quaran tine on all plants from New England and other tofested areas of Europe. This Is regarded as so Important that a careful Inspection of nil shipments of nursery stock from foreign coun tries Is made upon arrival In the stato, even though such shipments bear a certificate of Inspection from an offi cial Inspector. Other Dangerous Pests. Some of the pests which are serious, and do not now occur In Georgia, are the MorellOs fruit worm found In Mex ico, the olive fruit worm of the Medi terranean countries, nnd various scale Insects attacking fruit trees in China, Japan and other Oriental countries which aro Just as serious as San Joso scale. Some of the plant diseases arc such diseases as "potato wart" found In Hungary and now occurring In Eng land and other European countries and In Now Foundland; and the white pine blister rust of Europe which would probably mean complete de struction of our pines. Tho Georgia quarantine against Mexican cotton boll weevil consists of a strict prohibition of the shipment of all articles from hell weevil areas that are liable to contain weevils such as seed cotton, cotton seed, cotton seed hulls, cotton seed sacks, pickers’ sacks, corn In shuck, Spanish moss and household goods packed In any materials liable to contain weevils. Until recently thdrt was a strict quar antine against 'cotton lint In bqVss or compress, Eat It Is believed by all en tomologists to bo entirely safe to per mit such shipments and the quar- i Street.

Atlanta, Ga.—The mole cricket, which is causing much trouble to farmers, particularly In southeastern Georgi, is believed to have been brought into Georgia from the West Indie, and for the past fif teen years it has been gradually mak ing Its way to the interior wherever It can find sandy loam or K>aty soils, which constitute its favo#£e and al most exclusive abode. The mole cricket is a brownish-col ored bug about one and a quarter inches long with six strong and well developed legs. Its fore-front legs aro highly specialized and these, together with its head, constitute its burrowing apparatus with which it tunnels through the ground very much like the mole, whence its name. The mole cricket mates in the early spring, and the eggs are deposited from April 15 to June 15, an Important fact in connection with the work of their extermination, occurs during the will deposit from twenty to sixty eggs, . ,, , | p a in an egg chamber or coll leading off; 1 ? 11 " 0 °‘ „, U IL from tho main tunnel and within about statement of George .1. . 1 ’ live Inches of tho top of the ground. | of the animal Industry dii is- The eggs hatch within twenty-four to bm» of the Department of Agricul- twenty-slx days.

His teacher said that at the age of 11 years be was the "worst child in her experience o many years in school work Vill lo "hookey," ate.I all not confine Its feeding to one particu lar plant. It will feed on practically all truck crops, such as lettuce, pep per, tomatoes, turnips and potatoes, and upon pastures and lawns which suffer severely. Young sugar cane is also a much-de sired article of diet. Both the potato vine and potatoes themselves are eat en. The cricket severs the vines of tomatoes, potatoes and peppers Just below the surface of the ground. As much as fifty per cent, of a field of potatoes has been destroyed by the crickets eating into the tubers. Probably the most effective method yet presented in controlling the mole cricket Is to plow the breeding areas two or three times between April 15 and June 15. This exposes the eggs in large numbers to the sun which kills them, or they may bo eaten by insectlverous animals. In the case of young and tender plants, preventive measures have of ten been employed with good effect, such as placing around them tin, wire gauze or paper cylinders. A very good tin cylinder is made by melting the top and bottom off a tin tomato can. The cylinder should extend about two inches abovo the ground. All hot beds in an Infested area should havo solid or gauze wire floors, preferably the latter, and with fine mesh, and they should be screened over during the night, as that is the time when the cricket does most of its feeding. How to Kill Them. For destroying the crickets poison baits have been used with good re sults. Arsenate of lead may be used in proportion of three pounds to fifty gallons of water, or paris green in proportion of one-half ounce to a bucket of water. Mash made of bran, corn meal and cottop seed meal with this poison incorporated, and placed in the fields where the crickets feed will attract them, and the eating of it kills them. Care must be taken to see that no animals run at large that would be tempted by the bait for a few weeks after it Is put out, as Otherwise they would bo sure to be poisoned. It is only in the spring that the cricket* fly to any great extent. Dur ing April, especially on warm, moist nights, they leave the earth in swarms. A brilliant light placed over a tub partly Ailed with water covered ovor with oil, will servo as a death trap to all attracted. Bonfires are equally effective and will attract them from a greater area. Sulphur placed in tho drills along with tho seed will act as a repellant, a* the crickets do not like It. Tho subterranean habits and insid ious activities of the molo cricket makes It a serious foe, says thd de partment of Entomology. However, ay intelligent and persistent applica tion of the remedies suggested, it is possible almost to eradicate the pest The department will be glad to sup ply complete bulletins on this and open question as to the coat, and J^p^r and* Ued ’outrageousl lik* from tho increase In valuo of hie cattle’s original weight, and not di rectly from tho added weight.
