STORRSt
THE SNOW MEM

Frank and Martha had been playing
out in the snow all day coasting and
sliding But the best fun of all was
making some snow men. They were
such very good looking ones that
Martha thought they ought to have
some fine clothes TO wear, so she and
Frank went in to get them There
was nobody at home but Norah, who
was busy getting dinner, so they
helped themselves.
When the snow men were dressed
In fur coats and evening capes and
some nice hats. with chains and gold
beads for ornaments they looked so
grand that the children wanted some
body TO come and admire them
They went in for Norah. but she
was attending to the roast and they
had to wait a few minutes before she
could come out with them.
Sure, and it's the fine snow men
they are" said Norah-but the chill
dren were too surprised and frlghten-
ed to pay any attention 10 what she
was saying, for there before them
stood two plain snow figures. Their
fine clothes were all gone When
they told Norah what had happened
she was frightened, too.
It's robbed we've been!' she CRIED

Economic Standpoint.

Of the head. the front part OF which
is prolonged into a snout or proboscis.
In some species this snout is short
and stout and In others it is long.
slender and wire-like. In the females
of some of the nut weevils it is longer
than the rest Of the body. The mouth,
which is armed with minute but
strong pair of jaws. is situated on the
apex OF the snout and the appendage
Is used for piercing or puncturing vari-
GUS kinds of plant tissue to obtain
food and TO provide an opening in
which to deposit eggs.
Chestnuts are frequently gathered
that appear sound at first, but within
ten days or two weeks thereafter be-
come excessively "wormy." Where
these worms" come from has often
been a matter of conjecture on the
part of those who handle nuts. 1t is
a common belief that they originate
from the sting" of some insect ad-
ministered at the time the trees are
in bloom. AS a matter Of fact, they
hatch from eggs that are in the nuts
Most of these eggs are deposited by
this chestnut weevil a short time pre-
vious to the dropping of the nuts
from the trees.
The common acorn weevil is the
largest Of the weevils attacking
acorns. In size 1t is similar to tho
hickorynut weevil but in color it more
