they make life quite miserable, too, in

The chinchbug, as the figures show,

Another wheat pest IS the Hessian
fly. so called because, when the Hes
slams were brought to this country IN
1916 as auxiliaries for the English
troops, they brought with them straw
for their horses and the straw con-
tanned the eggs Of this insect. The
Hessian fly attacks the wheat at the
base of the young plants and soon
sucks it dry of sap and life.

SANDWICH IS NOT A MEAL.
New York Judge Rules It Is but Mere
Subterfuge in Saloon.

New York. April 24.-The question
whether a sandwich constitutes a meal
within the provisions of the Raines law
was discussed at length in a decision
handed down by Justice Garretson in
the application of Excise Commissioner
Cullinan for the revocation of the tax
certificate of Axel j. Young, a hotel
keeper at Coney island.
Justice Garretson takes an opposite
view from that of another Justice in a
similar case who held that sandwich
is a meal Justice Garretson says that
it is a mere subterfuge. The decision
will be far-reaching in its effect if it IS
upheld upon appeal and will be espe-
cially hard on Coney Island.
