The idea that chinch bugs had been
destroyed by the long, cold rains of
early spring proves to have been a
mistake, says the Farabault Demo-
craft. They are just as lively and vo-
racious as ever, and having disposed
of the spring wheat are now after the
corn. 1t is very evident that grow
ing spring wheat must be discontin-
ued in this section for q few years.

the entire building was flooded and
the damage is mostly the result of
the water. No insurance.

wound about two inches in length.
The peritoneum was punctured, but
the intestines are not ruptured and
the patient will recover. Ohitz is in
custody and will probably be held to
