Alberta Man Emissary to That State
to Secure Wives for Hunters
and Lumbermen.

Ottawa, Kan.--"We want marriage
able women" was the substance of a
message received here by w. R.
Hutchinson, from Alberta, Canada.
I'VE understand that Ottawa has lots
of good looking widows and girls Of
manageable age, who have no imme-
date prospects or intentions in mat
rimonial way"
Oliver Moore, formerly of Ottawa,
now Of Alberta, who is here on a visit,
was the bearer of the message. He
was in earnest. too. There are no
women at all up there" said Mr.
Moore. 1T has been too cold for them.
Why, 1t has been so degrees below
zero for a week now"
The hunters and lumbermen OF AL
berta have organized themselves into
society for the purpose of mutual as
sistance in search for wives. Mr.
Moore, who came down to Kansas on
business, was given full authority to
bargain for as many women as he
could get. He agrees to take all who
will go under the promise of being
married inside of 80 days after they
are there. He has gone to counting
noses here. with the assistance of his
friends. and he has found 80 who
could Just as well go as not"
Several women have been interview
ed and have given their consent to
carry on correspondence with some

Ten Eastern States to Be Visited
This Year.
Seventeen-Year Variety Shows lndis-
putabIe Signs of Appearing in New
Jersey and Other Nearby Com
nonwealths-Habits of Insect.

Oceon City, N ACCORDING to
State Entomologist John B. Smith,
New Jersey and nine other states will
experience a plague of locusts this
year. The state entomologist has a
corps of workers studying methods to
ward off the threatened plague, among
whom is Mrs. E. s. Starr, of this place,
who, under his direction, is observing
the underground habits of the insect
Mrs. Starr has made statement on
the result of observations She says:
There are Is species of the cleada
septendecum, or 17-year locusts, in the
state bureau Of entomology. This
makes the study of the insect almost
continuous With each appearing of
the insect something is added to give
the entomologists a new problem to
work out. In Cape May county the in
sect gave indisputable evidence of its
presence months in advance Of its reg
ulation date for appearing, in April,
when Its seventeen years sleep under
ground will end.
Last summer breaking out on the
surface of the earth was noticed. It
resembled circular spots about four
inches in diameter. The soil in
these spots was different in color from
that nearby. The layers of the mounds
were even and appeared to have been
blown from a central cavity, such as
the ashes from a volcano. There was
no central opening visible, but inves-

sold in the United States in small
packages as confection. If it should
take the fancy of customers In the
United States it offers a chance for
an enterprise profitable to a promoter
and beneficial to this section. An ex-
port demand for these native prod
ucts not only rasies their price. but
stimulates the price of land and en-
courages cultivation. The experience
here is that when native product

the prompt exploitation Of that prod
