the rich men will accept cheerfully
whatever burdens fall upon them as a
war necessity.
'Patriotism Is not a matter of being
rich or poor.
'it seems to me that such a measure
as has been suggested is unlikely to
be adopted. The credit of this country
is quite capable of standing demands
for very large sums before it would
be necessary to resort to extraordinary
means. Certainly the rich man should
bear his part, and I am sure he will be
found bearing; it. and necessarily and
properly he will have to contribute
much.

be registered under the selective draft
act today. This Is the estimate which
has been made in delivering registra
tion cards and other registration para
phernalia to the precincts of both city

answer any emergency call to any
precinct of the county.
"We believe that nothing has been
left undone to make the registration
day in the county a success, ' said
Sheriff Hurlburt. "A majority of the
precinct registrars have attended the
school of instruction which has been
held at the Courthouse daily during the
past week and they are well versed In
their duties. The district registrars
are likewise prepared to direct the
Vv-ork In each of the nine precincts
and we look to see the work carried
pn without trouble or confusion."
Clerical Staff Engaged.
The central board has arranged for
8. clerical force to begin work at the

jutant-General White, another to the
ar Department and the third copy
to be kept on file In the City HalL This
rork is expected to take several days.
At the registration bureau at the

Playing of lone Hand in Recovering
His Child Is Determined; People
Fear lawlessness of Days of Old
Is in Coarse of Renewal.
SPRINGFIELD. Mo., June 4. Motor
car loads of citizens of Springfield and
the surrounding country went Into the
Ozark Mountains' today and tonight In
search of the missing Lloyd Keet, 14
months old son of J. Holland Keet,
wealthy Springfield banker, with the
announced determination of seeking
out hiding places from which future
abductions might be directed and in
which the band responsible for the
present crime may be found. For many
miles the Ozarks extend in all direc
tions from Springfield, largely tim
bered and sparsely inhabited. In years
past moonshiners, bands of thieves and
others hid in the caves of the almost
inaccessible backwoods. '
The Keet kidnaping has aroused
fears that the former haunts of the
lawbreakers might again become the
rendezvous of abduction bands and be
lieving that perhaps such a band had
established itself somewhere near,
citizens of Springfield met today and
determined to carry out a thorough
search.
The other outstanding developments
of today's search for the missing baby
was the growing conviction that Mr.
Keet had determined to play a "lone
hand" in ferreting out the captors of
the baby. He refused aid from friends
and of county officials In the hill
search and told them that such a
search meant putting a dagger at th
throat of his child.
Rumors have been afloat that over
tures already have been made for the
return of the child, the father to pay
a sum in excess of 6000, and that Mr.
Keet believes it would be unwise to
seek them out now.
Seemingly he has a plan that he be
lieves will result in the return of the
brown-eyed youngster. What it Is
can only be surmised, but he made it
plain to county authorities today that
he desired permission to proceed alone.
T. G. Patten Succeeds Republican

NEW YORK. May 19. Thomas G.
Patten has formally become Post
master of New York In place of Ed
ward M. Morgan, who had held the
office for ten years and was removed
to make room for his Democratic suc
cessor. Mr. Patten was quietly greeted as
he came to his office by the heads of
the various departments. He spent
most of the morning in conference with
them, picking up the details of the
work. He had spent yesterday after
noon with Mr. Morgan at the postof
flce, discussing the methods of what
has become In the last year one of
the largest postofflces in the world,
doing an annual business of more than
130,000,000. At that time he assumed
responsibility for stamps valued at
$6,000,000 now in the vaults of the post-
office.
No changes In the official staff were
planned, said Mr. Fatten to a visitor.
He expressed himself as well satis
fied with the personnel of the service.

LUMBER ENOUGH FOR ALL
War Requires Only Five Per Cent
of Annual Production.
WASHINGTON. June 4. Two billion
feet of lumber will be required within
the next year for war purposes, ac
cording to an estimate today by the
lumber committee of the Council of
National Defense.
The committee Issued a statement
saying there need be no fear that the
lumber market would be badly dis
turbed.
This amount win not exceed 5 per
cent of one year s lumber production
of this country. said the statement.
'It can readily be seen, therefore, that
no lumber user need rear that it will
be impossible for him to get the kinds
and sizes of lumber needed for his par

at all it will be that of transportation.'

ington. June 4. Senator Jones, of
Washington, In stepping from his auto
mobile last night, sprained his ankle
and is now laid up in bed. He prob
ably will not be able to return to the
Senate this week.
Senator Polndexter. of Washington,
and Senator King, of Utah, in the
judiciary committee, today insisted
upon action on the Jones resolution,
submitting a prohibition constitutional
amendment to the states for ratlnca
tion. The committee promised to dis
pose of the problem one way or an
other next Monday.
Representative Hawley today re
ceived a letter from Daniel Wlllard
chairman of the advisory commission
of the Council of National Defense, ex
pressing approval of his suggestion
that a special committee be appointed
to direct Inland water transportation
during the war. Mr. Willard has con
suited the chairman of the river and
harbor committees of Congress, and
asked them to recommend men for this
committee. One member will be Gen
eral Black, Chief of Army Engineers.
Mr. Hawley's idea is that properly di
rected water transportation will mate
rially relieve rail congestion.
lng is therefore necessary.
There are a large number of differ
ent kinds of aphids. one or more of
which may attack almost every form
of orchard and bush fruit. For the
most part, however, the same measures
of control are applicable to all the
species. Quite a number of the aphid
species Winter in the egg stage on the
plants which tncy attack in the fol
lowing Spring.
These may be controlled successfully
by spraying when the buds first show
green tips of the foliage. In this way
the first brood of the insects is killed
and insurance Is obtained against in
Jury later in the season. Additional
spraying may, however, be necessary
if the infestation is severe.
The importance of early bud spray
ing Is greatest with those species of
aphids whose attacks result in curling
the leaves of the plants on which they
feed. This curling serves to protect
the Insects to a considerable extent
from the contact spray. Those species
which do not curl the leaves are more
easily controlled by sprays after it is
noted that they are becoming numerous.
Nicotine has been found to be one of
the most effective substances for kill
lng aphids. and as it may be applied
with entire safety to plants it is possi
bly the best suited of all the substances
used In the control of these insects.
The cost of the concentrated article is
high, but as It may be greatly diluted
the actual cost of applying the spray
compares favorably with that of other
contact sprays. Of the commercial
preparations the 40 per cent nicotine
sulphate is the solution in most com
mon use. Weaker grades may be used
if care is taken that, the spray is made
up to contain not less than .05 or .06
per cent of actual nicotine.
Nicotine may be added either to the
Winter Btrength lime-sulphur solution
used for the San Jose scale, or to the
dilute lime-sulphur solution and ar
senate of lead spray employed in the
control' of insects and diseases of fruit
and foliage. It may also be used in
Bordeaux mixture or in arsenate of
lead and water spray. This is a great
advantage, as the orchardlst is enabled
to spray against several pests simul
taneously.
It must be remembered, however, that
although the addition of soap adds
much to the spreading power and ef
riciency or tne nicotine spray, soap
must not be used with lime-sulphur
solution.
It is also a comparatively simple
matter to make nicotine sprays at
home if tobacco stems or refuse to
bacco are available. In the home manu
facture of the solution, however. It is
difficult to determine the exact
strength of the decoction since the
various kinds of tobacco refuse vary
greatly in their nicotine content.
In a new publication of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, Farmers' Bulletin
804, a table showing the number of
pounds of different kinds of tobacco
refuse needed to make nicotine solu
tions of the right strength is given.
In this connection it is pointed out that
the stems from which the extract h
been made have a value for fertilizing
purposes of about $10 a ton.
With tobacco refuse and stems cost
ing about $20 a ton, the spray solu
tion can be made for approximately
1 cent a gallon, the fertilizer value of
the extracted refuse covering the cost
of labor, etc. The sprays should be
made up as they are needed, for fer
mentation begins within a day or two.
Washes made of fish-oll or laundry
soap are also effective against aphids.
and are especially suitable for use on
a small scale. The fish oil soap of dif
ferent brands on the market varle
greatly in water content, so that the
precise quantity of soap to be used
with a given amount of water will vary
also. Manufacturers, however, are re
quired by the Federal Insecticide act
of 1910. to state on the label the amount
of active Ingredients, in this case soap,
and of inert Ingredients. This will en
able purchasers to make up a solution
which should range from one pound of
soap for five gallons of water to one
pound for seven gallons, depending
upon the amount of water present in
the soap.
As has been already said, soap should
not be added to lime-sulphur solution.
Nor should lime-sulphur solution be
added to kerosene emulsion. This last
may be used against aphids at the rate
of one gallon to seven or eight gallons
of water. The stock solution for this

WASHINGTON. May 19. According to
specialists in the Department of Agri
culture, contact sprays are the only ef
fective means of controlling the vari
ous kinds of aphids. the small insects
which by feeding upon the juices of the
plants do much damage to the fruit
and foliage of orchard trees, currant.
gooseberry and grape.
As the aphids do not eat the plant
tissues, but drain the sap from them
the various kinds of sprays containing
stomach poisons, such as Paris green,
arsenate of lead, etc., are Ineffective.

spraying may be desirable. In the case
of currants and gooseberries it is espe
cially Important to spray as the shoots
are pushing out, otherwise the insects
will soon be protected by the distorted
