Farmers in some parts OF Eastern

Farmers in some parts Of Eastern
Washington are anxious about the
appearance OF what they call the Hes
sian fly, but as far as Adams county is
concerned, we have heard no COM
plant Of its arrival here. This is a
dipterous or two-winged insect the
larva of which has proved in Eastern
states, very destructive to wheat. 1t
IS black with dusky wings darker at
the base, pale brown legs, with black
and hairy attenne. There are two
distinct broods each year-ths larva
of one brood living at the roots OF the
plant throughout the winter, while
those OF the other are found in the
lower joints OF the straw about the
end of spring or beginning of summer.
The roots of wheat affected by the
Hessian fly are found to be decayed
or moldy, while the blades and stalks
are partly wilted and shriveled. The
plant has sickly appearance at first
and it soon withers and dies.

Men and women who by contact or
travel know the worlds best policy
need not be told that simplicity and
graciousness are the invariable char.
acteristics of the highest breeding.
That cold stare OF the would-be elect
is but the expression Of an under bred
poverty-stricken soul. what is ex-
clusiveness?' 1t 10 that human pol
icy which shuts individuals off from
the employment Of their kind, by
which society gains, since an inhar-
monious element is thereby removed.
How pathetic is the isolation of the
determined aristocrat, especially in q
small town where, other stirring in
terest lacking, human relations means
so much. Could even a Divine mi
croscope detect the difference between
the naked souls OF a bankers and q
grocer's wife? How infinitely stupid
it is to draw lines in small places in
stead OF honestly enjoying all there is
to enjoy.

The battle between Seattle and Ia.
coma for the Nome and Alaska trade
goes on and the rest Of the state can
look on and wish the best city to win,
Tacoma says Seattle is overcharging
and Seattle returns the compliment by
declaring that Tacoma has nothing tc
overcharge for. Then Seattle walls
that ships loaded from that port are
cleared from Tacoma thus increasing
on paper the latter's business as q
shipping port. Meantime both cities
are doing a good business.
