DECLARE gil
LOCUST YEAR


Washington, %. c., Feb. 20:-The
seventeen-year locust is to be heard
ripping open the quiet summer
nights of 1911, in several counties
of eastern Pennsylvania and all of
New Jersey, with his stident, nerve-
racking cry, according to a special
circular issued by the department OF
agriculture.
The department e~ntomelogfsts
have been keeping pretty close tabs
on this insect with a buzz-saw voice,
and they know just where he Is go
ing to appear In numbers during the
coming summer. They announce an
all-season engagement of .continu-
GUS matinee and evening perform
ances In eastern Pennsylvania and
throughout New Jersey.
The scientists call this pest the
periodical eicada, and state that 1t
will appear in two broods this year,
the seventeen-year race, which will
disturb the territory along the At
lantic coast from eastern New York
and Connecticut south to central
North Carolina; the ~thirteen-year
race to cover the lower half Of the
Mississippi valley.
The twelve-year race Is called
brood two and occupies territory i'm
mediately east of the other brood,
the th~irteen-year race. Brood two
is one OF the best recorded broods,
since it's almost exclusively eastern
range brings It into the immediate
vicinity of the larger towns and more
populated districts of the Atlantic
seaboard. 1t has been reported N
Connecticut regularly every seven
teen years since 1924, and in New
Jersey since 1775.
AT its last appearance N 1894, it
carefully studied, to determine
distribution, for New Jersey by DR..
John B. Smith; for New York by DR..
j. A. Lintner, and for the other
states covered by its range, With the
aid of state entomologists and local
observers. Some OF the southern
records obtained In 1894 are doubt
full, and this applies especially to
localities In North Carolina, because
of the appearance the san0s year of
brood 10 of the thirteenkyear race,
In North Carolina may touch

Washington, Feb. 20:-Represen-
tatiye Hughes has introduced a bin
which provides for the issuance of a
charter to the Veteran Reserve
Corps of America, a corporate mill
tary organization, which will be
composed of veterans of the civil
war, former soldiers of the Spanish
American war, national guard and
sons of veterans. 1t is proposed to
grant this organization a charter so
that it nay carry on It's business,
which Is purely patriotic and bene-
hcfent, and designed to perpetuate
the love Of country and of the flag,
and to maintain the principles of pa
triotic and fraternaIism.
1t is provided in the bill that all
men who have served honorabIy or
who are serving in the army, navy,
National Guard or Sons of Veterans
shall be eligible to membership af-
ter complying with the prescribed
constitution and regulations of said
organization.
The organization will be author

usy Immediately after the adjourn
of the present session of Con-
ress. It is proposed to divide the

hat each member OF the committee
will have charge of certain sched-
lies. This Will mean, of course, that
Hughes will take charge OF the
work OF one of the schedules as may
be designated to Speaker Clark.
II Is understood that the majority, |
as the Democrats will be in the Six |
Congress, will give to pres |
ent Republicans a practical lesson Tn
economy. With that In view, many
of the useless positions about the
OF Representatives will be
abolished. Naturally, this will be
disappointing to many who have had
1t In mind that there would be some
fine places available, as about three
quarters of a million dollars is paid
out annually to the employees In the
House of Representatives.
On the other hand, the Democra-
tic party will do well to dispense
with all of the useless places about
the capitol, since the leaders have
been preaching both reform and
economy, and to prove the sincerity
of their professions in these lines it
behooves them TO do something that
will check the era of extravaganza
that has characterized the present
regime.
