WORM PEST WORKS HAVOC
Millions Destroying Burnt Over Tim.
Der in Northern Woods.

Ashland, Wis, Dec. 14-Another
variety of worm has been discovered
working havoc in the northern woods.
This worm, which is white with a
yellow head equipped with teeth to
drill into the wood of trees, is found
most plentifully in the burnt over
lands. 1t works underneath the bark
of the trees.
Cruisers looking over some land near
Brule noticed a continual cracking
sound in the burnt timber lands, which
could be heard from so to 200 feet from
the trees in which the worms were
working. One member of the party
who was more discerning than the 9th
ers stripped one of the nearby pines
and found under the partly burned
bark hundreds of worms
If the burnt over timber is cut i'm
mediately after the fire, or within a
short time thereof, it can be used for
lumber, but if it is left standing for
any length of time it becomes subject
to the ravages of the worm and it is
destroyed in remarkable short pc
riod of time.

ANNUAL REPORT OF SECRETARY

Urges Legislation to Create Depart

Would Do for the Whole Country
What the Bureau of Corporations
Has Been Doing in Specific In
stances-Recommend Tighter Laws
to Stamp Out White Slave Trade.
Legislation to create a department
of the government which would do for
the whole country what the bureau OF
corporations has been doing in specific
instances, and compel complete pub
licity in the management of interstate
corporations, is one of the leading rec
concentrations contained in the annual
report of Secretary of Commerce and
Labor Nagel
Newer and tighter laws to stamp out
the white slave trade, which the secre-
tary says is an organized and extern
sive business, is the other
On the subject of government con-
troll of the financial and industrial
forces, Secretary Nagel says some
terse things and makes some important
recommendations
The prime need Of two things is en-
phasiZed: First, reliable information
on which the government may take
legislative and administrative action,
and, second, reliable information in a
concise and available form to serve
for the basis of public opinion.
In the bureau of immigration and
naturalization the need of facilities to
meet growing conditions is recognized.
Improvements have been made in the
immigration stations all over the coun.
try and will be carried on.
In all during the fiscal year 944,235
aliens entered the country and 81 per
cent of them came from Russia and the
countries of southern Europe. A to
tai of 20 per cent of illiterates is
shown, an increase over the previous
year.
Although these aliens brought ST.
331, 1928 into the country SO per cent
of them were assisted with money to
reach the United States.
The need of strengthening the law
against alien contract labor and the
Chinese immigration law is declared to
be pressing.
The work of the division of natural
ization are reviewed with the state
ment that there were 1922 declara-
lions of intention filed during the last
wear an increase of more than 0O0
over the year preceding.

Dun's Reports Holiday Trade Brisk
Demand For Spring Goods Lively.
Dispatches to Dun's Review indicate
some seasonable dizziness in wholesale
lines, but holiday trade is brisk and
demand for spring merchandise quite
extensive.
Cold weather and heavy SHOWS at
Kansas City have benefited trade in
clothing and footwear, although hav.
ing deterrent influence in some other
directions.
A heavy demand for spring merchan.
disc is noted, especially in dry goods
and mems and womens wear. The
effect of the switchmen's strike is less.
