two pronounced humps on its wing
covers which are not to be found on
the gouger.
Like the curculio the gouger spends
the winter in the adult stage. Early
in the spring, the adult feeds on the
buds and leaves. Ono of the greatest
injuries is caused by the adult beetle
during the Towering period. 1t cuts
hole through the calyx of the flower
and then eats the ovule which would
ultimately become the fruit. The
flower then withers and dies. and In
this way the insect destroys great
many fruits.
Its second injury as previously
stated resembles that of the curculio
though in detail 1t Is somewhat DIFF
ferent. The adult eats hole through
the skin of the newly set plum and de-
posits her eggs. AS soon as the larva
matches, 1t Immediately begins to bur-
row towards the pit. When the pit Is
reached it eats its way through into
the interior and then feeds on the
seed until it has fully developed. 1t
next cuts a circular hole in the pit
through which the adult is to emerge
and then pupates, coming out of the
fruit later as an adult beetle.
A great many more tncisions are
made in the fruit than are required
for the egg. Later on in the season

In DissIpated Quag.

"They must think we are in bad

Wilson at the Players club. They
must think we are as hopeless as the
temperance audience In Quag."
Mr.. Wilson was condemning the
proposed law to imprison for year
any person arrested twice for drunk
enness. He resumed:
"a drummer attended a Quag tenn
perance lecture one night. The audi
ence was enthusiastic. 1t cheered
every point that the lectured made.
Yet the lecturer had red nose and a
shaky hand, while an unpleasant odor
of alcohol made the air of the hall

The codling moth and the apple cur

escapes their depredations. The San
Jose, Putnam and European fruit
scales are gaining foothold In this
state. and unless given immediate at

other states. Add to these depreda-

lowest estimate 100000.
This is a large sum to pay for neg

be avoided. Unfortunately, majority
of those who do not follow fruit grow

Looking After the Eggs.

Lady Betty. who is years old and
never misses trick, was taken the
other evening to restaurant for her
supper, and with all the Importance
and sprightly dignity of her years
calmly ordered poached eggs on toast.
While the little family group was
awaiting its service the "kiddie"
amused herself by looking out of the
window, pressing against a screen to
get closer view of something below.
She was warned by her mother that
the screen might give way and let her
fall to the sidewalk perhaps injuring
her terribly. She drew away, thought
q minute, and then said naively:
would l fall if the screen went out?"
"You certainly would" was her moth
er's reply. And would l get awful
hurted?" VERY likely" Then what
would the man do with the eggs?"

a New York company, when tele-
phone girls, whether they merited 1t

munity. Rather they were synonym
of trifiing, unbusiness-like behavior.
That day is past.
To-day recruits to the service must
have not only fair education. con-
siderable intelligence and wide
awake, alert manner, but they must
show a first-class aptitude for attend

(By L. HESS.)
In the packing and shipping Of ap-
pies, the use of the barrel has many
advantages. H. very important thing
to consider is the fact that shippers
in the far west get more money for
their apples, because they wrap the
fruit in paper. If shippers in the CEN
tral and middle states would take the
same pains with the packing. then use
barrels to ship in, the apples would
reach the market in better condition
than these sent from greater distances.
The cost Of handling and the freight
are also important factors, and influ-
ence the profits.

freely through the apples. which they

Talking About Honesty.

Announcing 10 Lancaster democrats
the itinerary for his county option
speech-making tour, Mr. Bryan is
quoted as follows:

people what think on this issue that the
liquor interests have forced upon us. and
am not going to pick the places where II

Mr.. Bryan was for nearly two years
editor Of Mr.. Hitchcock's World

to testify as to that papers honesty
He knows that he was put in charge
Of its editorial page on deal by which
the silver bullionaires paid lump

which II was advocating and taking up
the dishonest ratio Of 16 to /. On
this point, however, the World-Herald
can speak for itself II it SO chooses.
But when It comes. to ordinary
honesty" that avoids misrepresenta-
ton Mr.. Bryan occupies a poor posi-
ton. The only thing that saved to
Mr.. Bryan the electoral vote Of his
home state two years ago was the de-
liberately perpetrated fraud OF misrep-
resenting his democratic presidential
electors by falsely labelling them as
populists. The populist candidate for
president was tom" Watson, and
every vote cast for the pOpulist ticket
under the impression that it was cast
for Watson as the populist nominee
for president was thus stolen for Mr..
Bryan. Ordinary honesty" would
have compelled the Bryan ticket TO
sail under its own flag and would have
prevented it from hosting colors be-
long ing to another presidential candi-
date.
This "embezzlement of power under
the form Of law was committed not
only with Mr.. Bryan's personal knowl-
edge and consent, but with his active
encouragement and assistance. Nc
words which he ever used to denounce
the imaginary "crime of '7S" would be
too strong applied to the theft that
gave Mr.. Bryan eight votes in the cleo
torai college in 1908 that did not be-
long to him.
