GENERAL WOOD.
The man Roosevelt dubbed "a bully
good soldier" and whom he advanced
,. because of belief in his ability, even
though he was not a West Pointer,
stepped down from the highest active
position in the army Wednesday. He
was Major General Leonard Wood,
until that time, chief of staff of the
army. Wood's four year term as the
chief executive officer for the army
automatically expired then. He im
mediately becomes chief of the de-
... partment of the east, with head
quarters at Governor's Island, New
York the choicest post in the army.
W. W. Witherspoon, mow assistant
chief of staff succeeds to Wood's
post.
Wood's rise in the army has been
spectacular. He was first heard of as
Colonel of the famous Rough Riders.
He was a physician and an army surg
eon, a man of extraordinary personal
magnetism. Roosevelt picked him as
an ideal type of commander; person-
' ally he and Wood were cronies. Wood
rode horseback like a centaur; so did
Roosevelt The Rough Riders waxed
famous after Santiago, and Wood
. also. He was called into the regular
army and went ahead by leaps and
bounds. His rapid promotion was the
cause of considerable comment in the
army, and was accentuated by the old
fight between the "line and(staff". As
V a surgeon in the army, Wood was of
.. the staff faction. His rise to power
made the West Pointers and other of
the "line" faction peevish. But most
of them were today willing to admit
that the "physician" has done more
for the army in his four years as
chief of staff than any other one in
dividual. i
Wood's greatest achievement as the
head of the army was the develop
ment of the militia as an authorized
auxiliary of the regular army. He
has persistently boosted the "reserve
enlistment" plan.

sticky fly-paper on a post twenty feet
from an infested tree. In twenty-four
hours the . paper was covered with
red spiders. The next test was made
with the paper twelve feet from the
ground and one hundred feet from the
tree. The results were the same.
Sixteen sheets of fly-paper were
tacked to a fruit drying tray and
mounted on top of a step-ladder which
was set in cans of oil to make sure
that no insects could crawl onto the
trap. This was placed 650 feet from
the orchard, and the next day spiders
were found . in abundance. It has
been known for some time that the
insects that infect orchards might be
