Honest Men
There are some people who
are just naturally honest. They
live up to their contracts and
do not acejc to break them.
They are not always consider-
ing the letter of the law. but
have an inward letter that they
obey.
It is refreshing to meet these
people. They renew your faith
in human nature.
Some one has said the honest
man has the advantage over
the dishonest one because the
honest man knows there is one
honest man in the world, while
the dishonest man does not
know there are any.
A lawyer named Gavin Mc-
Nab died the other day in San
Francisco. In his will we find
two bequests, one to Mrs.
Elkins of thirty-five thousand
dollars and another of lifts
thousand dollars to Joseph Rn-
nell. -tA?
The money was bequeathed
in each instance because the
people had lost money on tic3
count of advice given them - 'by
Attorney McNab. h
He was under no obligation
to return this money, but he
just felt better for doing itnu-i
The explanation is simple.
The man was honest.
And he wasn’t honest be-
cause he had to be, but just be-
cause he was.
The other instance is that of
Reuben H. Donnelly, million-
nalre head of a publishing
company.
Twenty-two years ago Mr.
‘ Donnelly’s company, passed
through bankruptcy. _ He af-
terwards made good, is now
sixty-three years old, and has
some money.
He has voluntarily made
good all the debts that were
wiped out by bankruptcy.
Some of tile creditors held'
claims for only small, amounts,
but they were in the humbler
walks of life and In many
cases a little money meant a
good deal to them.; i'‘ ‘

There was one 'man who had
a claim of eighteen dollars
when the house .went .bank-
ruptcy.’ That was in 1905. He
got his check for $38.75, which
is plus interest for twenty-two
years. , i
Mr. Donnelly said in his let-
ter to the old creditors, "While
the unpaid balance does not
constitute legal claim, I have
always considered it a moral
one.”
It is a comfort to know that
there are some people in the
world who cannot rest easy un-
til they have discharged all
their obligations.
Here is something worth re-
membering. We are going to
have to live here together in
this country next year, after
the politicians have won or
lost, and after the grafters
have succeeded or failed in
grabbing off coveted chunks
of politicial “pie.” Let us so
live that we may be enabled to
look one another in the eye. af-
ter the excitement has died
down.—Lufkin News.
Fear is probably the great-
est affliction of the human
race. Recently a famous ex-
plorer was asked what he
considered the strangest fact
in connection with his unusual
adventures and explorations
Very surprisingly,' he remark-
ed, “The strangest thing I
have ever found in all my
travels is the petty tear of so-
called civilized people.” Fear
is a foe to all salesmanship—
such as fear of approaching a
prospect, fear of offending,
fear of imposing, fear of in-
ability and fear of ridicule.
The moment, a salesman elimi-
nates fear from his system-he
begins to function properly.
The basis of fear is usually
ignorance or weakness. Logi-
cally the only remedy for the
salesman who finds himself
confronted by fear and to
analyze his own personality in
order to discover the particu-
lar weakness which creates the
fear.—Exchange.
' Washington has estimated
that in 1927 there were 26,618
persons killed in highway ac-
cidents, 798,700 persons seri-
ously injured, and economic
losses of 5672,097,000. This
economic loss figure is exclu-
sive of minor damage to motor
Vehicles.
The total killed is an in-
crease of 1,316 over 1926.
The injuries and losses
awaken one to the need of ex-
pansion of the nation’s road-
building program, and the nec-
essity for the immediate adop-
tion of uniform traffic codes.
Of course, it will be said, the
hunman factor is the main ele-
ment contributing to these ac-
cidents.
But that human factor could
be offset to a large extent by
adequate motoring facilities
and regulation.
Added to that, the individu-
al practice of courtesy and
caution is important.

William ’ J. Fitzgerald, a
member of the New Jersey
Bar Association, has invented
a device designed to put a stop
to “hit and run” driving. It
may be adopted by the state
for use on all automobiles.
This invention will scatter
fifty metal dies with the license
number of the car on them on
the ground when ever an acci-
dent occurs. The metal discs
will be scattered over an area
of twenty-five feet, and so it
will be almost impossible for
the “hit and run” driver to
stop and collect them.
The disc will fall to the
ground when n trigger is re-
leased, the trigger responding
to the collision of the bumper
with a moving body.

Of 150 girls in South Hall at

Waco, Texas, April 1.—
Birds of a feather flock to-
gether, so police learned Sat-
urday night when they arrest-
ed a drunken man and his par-
rot. The man refused to be ar-
rested and made an attempt to
escape in an automobile park-
ed at the curbing. The parrot
told the policeman what be
thought of him in regular sail-
or fashion, according to offi-
cers- A mounted policeman
came to the man’s rescue and
attempted to capture the bird.
The parrot fastened his bill on
the officer’s finger and held on
like a bulldog. Wheo police
finally got the pair to the city
jail the man was locked in a
cell and the parrot continued

Small Scales “W*
Ou Fruit
By K. D. Willingham
Among orchard pests in this
country few are more serious
or wide-spread than the San
Jose Scale. This insect infests
all the bark of the host plant
that is above the ground, and
when el’updant it usually ap-
pears, on the fruit and leaves.
“Aii these little specks on
yourpeaches were caused by
the San Jose Scale, and. dis-
qualify them as first class
fruit,” exclaimed a peach buy-
er to a farmer at a packing
shed in Athens, Texas. The
following day I visited this
farmer’s orchard. The buyer
was right—the trees presented
an ashen-gray color and parts
of the trees were dead. The
scales seemed to prefer a home
on the older limbs and
branches.
On apple and pear trees the
twigs are generally infested
and the young scale insects
may even find their way to
fruit. Here they settle in the
calyx and around the stem.
I remember seeing some pear
tr9es at Nacogdoches that were
very badly infested with the
scale. The trees, belonging to
a dairyman by the name of
Rash, were covered with San
Jose Scale which had caused
the death of some oi the
trees. The fruit was complete-
ly specked and drawn to the
extent that it appeared semi-
mummified. ”
The adult San Jose Scale Is
small, grayish in color, circular
in outline, slightly convex, with
a peak-like prominence in the
center. The insect that sucks
the sap from the tree lives un-
der this gray scale. The scale
i* nothing but a waxy edvering
secreted by the soft, fellow
“louse” of its own protection.
More of the scale’s life his-
tory will be given in order to
familiarize farmers with this
costly enemy. With the ap-

enough to begin reproducing.
One female may give birth
to 400 young, and as the life
cycle covers only a few weeks
there may be several genera-
tions a year. It is estimated
that one parent may produce
over a billion females a year.
Since the reproduction is so
great in one year, and the
yearly damage so disastrous,
methods of control worked out
by entomologists have been
used by the leading fruit grow-
ers in every region. Wonder-
ful results have been noticed.

Several kinds of sprays are
used and trees are sprayed at
different times of the year.
However, spraying should be 1
done in the dormant season!
and the spray may be used
stronger. Some of the com-
monest sprays used are coal
oil, kerosene emulsion and lime
sulphur compounds.
Make a close examination of
your trees and if you find any
evidences of the San Jose
Scale spray them this winter
after the trees have been
pruned. Then you, like other
fruit growers, can have healthy
vigorous trees that produce
fine fruit in greater abundance
than they have in part years.
