WARMING THAT WAS FAMILIAR
Grover Man Used Formula That Made
Little Harry Long to BE
Far Away.

Mrs Jones' favorite warning to her
young progeny when they we're in mis-.
chief was that she would tend to them
in a minute. Tending" was accom-.
plished by applying her open hand
where It would do most good When
Harry was four years old he was sent
for the first time round the corner to
the grocery. In a few minutes he came
trotting soberly back with the nickel
still in his hand, but no bag of onions.
What's the matter?' asked his
mother.
I'm 'fraid of the man." he said. sol.
emnly.
"Oh, he won't hurt you," reasurred
Mrs. Jones. Run along and bring the
onions. I'm in hurry for them"
A second time Harry disappeared
round the corner, and second time re-.
turned without his purchase.
I'm 'fraid of the grocer man." he
explained, as before.
Well, what makes you afraid OF
him?' demanded his mother, impa.
tiently.
Why" answered the little fellow,
"bofe times when coed in, he looked
at me, an said, I'll tend % you in q

Austrian Method May Be of Value
in United States.
Destructive Little Pests Due to Ar.
rive Again Next Spring, Ento.
moIoaists Declare-How
War May Be Waaed.

Washington.-That the seventeen.
year locust is due to appear by next
spring is the announcement recently
made by entomologlsts who have kept
track of the little pests visits, and
while heretofore measures against a
locust invasion have proved futile,
there is possibility that the plan of
the ChemicalAgrarian institute of
Goerz. Austria, to reduce their mum.
bers may be of benefit here, not only
In the case Of the seventeen-year To-
Gust, but OF the annual supply of
grasshoppers. Vice Consul de Mar.
tini at Trieste, in describing these
measures, says:
Under the guidance Of their mas
tiers the boys Of all the communes of
the province of Goerz were trained to
intercept. the march and capture the
locusts in their invasion Of that agri-
cultural district in 1909. Exact sta
ustics have just been published, Civ.
ing interesting particulars which may
prove useful to other agrarian fields,
even In the United States.
The official report describes the
method used to combat the pest and
shows the results of each commune.
the number of litres Of locusts killed
and prizes awarded to each school.
and the number of days work done
days work consisting of three hours
by each boy. The days of work are
stated to have been 26,S45, during
which eleven railway wagon loads Of
locusts were captured. The total
amount in prizes awarded to the boys
was 1900 crowns (sS,451). Each boy
received 13 cents a day for three
hours, capturing on an average four
quarts Of locusts each day. The total
expenditures were as follows: Prizes
to boys. s3,451; implements and their
repair, $500; overseers, $406; school.
masters, 5000; administration work,
S50S; total, 1864.
This work. due to proper organiza.
ton of the schoolboys, shows what
might be achieved by similar means
on a much more extensive scale to
wipe out this plague. If 1t is COM

food to half the volume of its body. il
follows that locusts thus captured
would have devoured sixty railway
wagon loads of hay (six tons to a
load). besides damaging cultivation.
OF the locusts captured, 400 made a
litre. The 100000 litres gathered rep
resented, therefore, about 100000
locusts. 3O.OoO.0Oo of which were fe-
males that would have laid 10000
900 eggs for new generation.
