WAR ON THE

War has been commenced on the cater

on the company's property in the North
hnd cutting down all the affected trees
and shrubbery and burning them. The
most effective work is being done in the
morning, as the caterpillars are then feel
ing sleepy and quiet after their nights
feeding and can be tumbed into the
fire before they know it. A representa-
tive of the company says;
The only way 70 exterminate these
pests is for every property owner to clean
up his own land We did not wait for
the horticultural commissioner to do this,
but went at ii ourselves, and that's what
other property owners will have TO Dc"
Commissioner Van Holderbeke says that
the eaterpllars have not appeared on the
east side of the Cascades, and are not
likely to, the hot sunshine being great
deterrent to the inroads of the insects On
other hand, he says, the mild climate of
the Sound country offers ideal conditions
for the propagation and rapid multipiea-
tion of the worms. He says the invasion
will last four weeks yet and may last
six weeks in some localities, the worms
finally evolving into butterflies and giving
no more trouble. When the eggs laid by
the worms have once thoroughly hatched
out in given locality, and the worms
are destroyed, they give little further trou-
bic to vegetation in that district.

STOP THE CHAIN
LETTER NUISANCE

Editor Tacoma Times-Sir: A great
many people in Tacoma and all over the
country have been receiving letters and
postal cards, professedly in promotion OF
a monster petition to congress against the
sale of cigarettes to minors. Kind hearted
people have written the required number
and sent them on their way, hoping there
by to lessen the temptations which beset
the youth of our land. Most of these
letters are never delivered, and are sent to
the dead letter office or returned to the
writer's. 1t is thought by many that the
plan is a scheme of the toDacco trust to
waste the energy of those who would like
to abate the nuisance, and thus discourage
them.
In January last, Josiah Leeds, 52S Wal
nut street, Philadelphia, made a thorough
investigation of the matter, and learned
that about 5000 pieces Of mail were re-
Ceived each week for these societies, OF
which about $500 are sent to the dead
letter office and the rest returned to the
writers.
1t is high time this chain was broken,
and the best thing for each person to do
is to put all such communications in the
fire at once. The best thing to do would
be to write directly to our own congress
men and senators, urging them to pass bet
ter laws. But we need not wait to do
that. We have state law against selling
cigarettes to minors under Is years Of
age, and il is the duty of the prosecuting
attorney to see that that law is enforced
The good men and women can give then
energies to the work right here in ou
own city. There is no surer way for the
