lie is the son of Boardman 0zias Shaw,
whose father, Ebenezer shaw, was one
OF the earliest settlers and selectmen
OF Morristown. His mother was a
daughter of Jason spaulding, a teach
er of some reputation in the eastern
part of New York state.
Boardman Shaw moved to u farm in
Stowe, VT, where Leslie NJ. spent his
minority. He received his early edu-
cation in the common schools of his
county and the Peoples academy, Of
Morristown, VT. He removed 70 Iowa
in 1869 and was graduated at Cornell
college, Mount Vernon, in 1874.
Leslie NJ Shaw was dependent upon
his own efforts in obtaining an educa-
ton, but with characteristic persist
ence went to work. He taught school
in the winter and worked in the har-
vest fields in the summer. Several win
tiers he tramped all over northwestern
Iowa selling fruit trees and nursery
stock. His energy was wonderful and
he was determined to succeed in spite
of his poverty. And he did. After
years of hard work he earned sufii-
cient to complete his college and pro-
fessional courses, and was graduated
from the Iowa College of Law in 1876.
In the same year he located in the
practice of his profession at Deni-
son.
Gov. Shaw is a believer in hard work.
He has often been heard to say that
those who worked deserved to succeed.
For years he was usually at his Office
at seven o'clock in the morning and
remained until ten at night. His law

ernor in Iowa up to that time IL

mission to preside at the Indianapolis
convention in 1898, where his address
attracted national attention. as had
his speeches In the preceding guberna-
torial canvass.
In religious faith Gov. Shaw is q
Methodist. For more than 90 years
he was superintendent of one and
much of the time two Sunday schools
and he has represented the Des Moines
conference three times in the general
conference Of his church, and has re.
Gently been elected such representa-
tive for the fourth time, an honor un-
precedented in the lay representation
Of that church.

dianola conferred upon him the degree
Of Ii. D., which degree was also con-
ferred on him the following year by
his alma mater. He was married De-
cember 6, 18Th to Alice, DAUGHTER of

THE 17-YEAR LOCUST,

Iy Dense end Destructive Swarms
of the Pest Due I'm the
spring.

Prof A. ID. Hopkins, the entomol-
ogist at the West Virginia station at
Morgantown. has sent circulars to
the Eastern Panhandle warning the
fruit growers of this section of the
1902 swarm of the periodical clcada,
of seyenteen-year locust.
The circular says The 1902 swarm
of the periodical clcada swill appear
next spring daring the latter part of
May and the first of June over all or
the greater part of the counties OF
Jefferson Berkeley, Morgantown,
Hampshire and Mineral the northern
aud eastern half OF Hardy and the
northeastern end of Grant. 1t may
occur also in Preston, Pendleton. Po-
cahontas,, Greenbrier, Monroe and
Mercer, especially along the eastern
border and in Putnam, Mason, Cabe |
Wayne and Logan along the western
and southern borders. II may also oc-
cur IN some other section of the state.
The brood is of special impor tancr,
from the fact that it covers the great
est and most promising fruit section
of the State, and that its swarms are
8 lid to be unusually dense and de-
structive. Therefore it is important
for fruit growers to remember that
all trees planted between September,
1900. and June, 1902. may be serl-
ously damaged or destroyed, especi-
ally when planted in fields that were
in forests or orchard in 1885. The
fall of 1902 and spring OF 1908 Will be
the time to make extensive paintings
OF fruit and other trees in all the area
occupied by the destructive brood.
