THAT OLD FASHIONED CHI66ER
is CHlG6ERING.
You Can't Kill the Beasts, but Must
Wait Until They Suicide.

Go out into the yard and lie on the
grass for awhile and you may have ply
steal demonstration of the fact that
chigger days are here. When you
get home you will no doubt begin the
old familiar scratching process. The
scratching don't have any particular
effect on the chiggers, but it makes the
welts grow bigger. Meanwhile the
itching continues.
Between scratches you try to remem-
Der some of the old reliable chigger
killers. Oh yes, hot bath. You take
run for the bath tub. This particular
cure seems to have lost it's efficacy.
Then you think to put damp salt on
the welts. No relief, and the welts
become sore from scratching. Next day
friend suggests sulphur and water.
The itching stops for about five minutes
and breaks out harder than ever.
Somebody also tells you to try amonia.
You rub it in the welts in generous guam
titles and go to bed in fond anticipation
of good nights rest at last. But the
peaceful slumber that you had hopes
for fails to come. The pests are unusu-
ally busy. They probe deeper and deep
er and then come back and explore the
interior of tho welts.
Finally you fall asleep from sheer ex-
haustion and dream horrible dreams of
hand-to-hand combats with gigantic
chiggers. You awake in the morning
with another day of torture before you.
By this time you have learned that
remedies are useless and you patiently
endure the agony until your tormentors
kick themselves to death. But in the
meantime you have foresworn quiet
trips to the woods where turks the fes-
tive chigger.

An Adventurous Correspondent

Few newspapers in the United States
are able to command the services of as
brilliant corps of correspondents as
The Chicago Record-Herald. Its choice
of Walter Wellman to represent it at
Washington is good illustration of its
wise policy of getting the best there is
to be had. Mr.. Wellman has won a
national reputation as a magnetic and
resourceful news writer. And now he
is preparing to clinch his reputation
for originality and daring by trying to
reach the north pole in an airship.
Whatever may be the results of Mr..
Wellman's daring attempt to reach the
pole this summer in an airship and send
the news of the voyage at once to The
Record-Herald by wireless biography,
the Wellman Record Herald expedition
is sure to be conducted by Mr.. Wellman
with the same cool courage and whole
souled enthusiasm that have made him
an ideal newspaper correspondent.
Mr.. Wellman was born in Mentor,
Ohio, in 1858. At Ia he began his news
paper experience, establishing at that
age weekly paper in the little town
Eof Sutton, Neb. In 1884 he became the
Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Herald for which paper he visi-
ted the West Indies in 1892 and located
the landing place of Columbus, marking
the spot with a hugh stone monument.
In 1904 he made his first dash for the
pole, reaching the latitude of 81 degrees
northeast of Spitzbergen. In 1898 he
tried the same fascinating quest again,
penetrating as far as Franz Josef Land.
On both trips he had wonderful success
in discovering new islands and secur-
ing new scientific data which have been
Of great value to the American Geo.
graphical Society. His voluminous
writings for scientific periodicals and
popular magazines have shown the
same incisiye thought and keen insight
that have marked his journalistic work.

trees during September and October OF

be experimental, to test the extent to
which this method of renewing the for

be used. Many large tracts have been
rendered treeless by repeated fires. and
only by planting or sowing can timber
be got TO grow there again for a long
time to come.
