wheat Joint Worm.

The fly which produces the wheat
joint worm will issue from straw
stacks and old stubble fields. Warm
weather will hurry them out. FARM
ers should make an immediate exam
nation of their unused straw and old
stubble fields and ascertain if the in
sects are present in the hardened por-
tons of the straw and if they are
about to emerge.
When present in any numbers worth
considering it is recommended by the
Ohio experiment station that the in
tested straw be burned at once and
that wherever possible old stubble
fields be burned over. Where clover
interferes with burning stubble, loosen
as much of the stubble as possible with
hayrake or harrow and drag the
borders of the field and burn, or burn
in windrows in the field. even if it be
certain that some clover will be killed.
At the present outlook many locali-
ties in the central states are liable to
suffer more from this pest this sum-
mer than they did last year.

TWO KIDNAPPED; $4,000 ASKED.
Children of st. Louis Man Held for
Ransom Under Death Threat.

Grace, Viviano, years old, and
Thomas Viviano, 21a years old, chill
dren of a wealthy Italian manufac-
turer, were kidnapped in st. Louis,
and are held for $4,000 ransom. A
letter demanding that sum under pen
atty of injury or death to the chill
dren was received by the distracted
parents and is now in the hands of
the police.
Detectives have been sent through
the Italian quarter and five suspects
arrested, though no trace of the chill
dren could be found. Though nothing
in the letter demanding the ransom
indicated it, the parents are of the be-
lief that the Black Hand is back of
the kidnapping, and, remembering the
fate of two Louisiana children kid
mapped by agents of the Black Hand
Society some time ago, they feel sure
their children will be crippled or kill
ed unless the demands of the kdnap-
ers are met or the children taken
from them soon.

the information of all such persons an
explanation of the laws and regula-

manufacture of cigars in a small way
by any person for his own use and
consumption is permissible when the
cigars are manufactured solely for the
use of the person making them and
are not removed from the place of
manufacture for consumption or sale.
No taxes are required to qualify as
manufacturer or make any reports.
Unless the person intending to
manufacture cigars as above desired
should be a farmer or shall secure
his stock of tobacco directly from the

would be closed to him by the require
