Of CRICKETS
FIVE THOUSAND ACRES OF DRY
FARM WHEAT DESTROYED BY

the prospect that very many more
acres will be destroyed if the insects
ere not stopped in their deadly
march.
The plan for fighting this invad-
Ing army is not new in Fremont
county. It was used before five or
SIX years ago, when the crickets visit
ed that section the last time.
An eight inch board is run across
the field in the path Of the crickets.
On the top Of this board and at
right angles to it a sheet Of lin is
fastened to prevent the crickets fro

of 10 to 20 feet holes are dug in

and fail to surmount it because Of /

they drop into the holes. There |
they are buried alive by the men /

NEWEST THING IN
PRIMARY BALLOT

The work Of distributing he bal
lots and other paraphernalia for
The primary election next Tuesday
was begun early III the week by
Harry w. Anderson, clerk to the
Board Of Commissioners. There
were upwards of twenty thousand
ballots TO 60 out, besides the many
looks and blanks required for the
work for holding the election and
making proper returns thereof.
The ballots are the very newest
thing in that line, being arranged
according to The provisions Of the
new law, one Of the principal fea-
lures being that all the candida
les names rotate as to their po-
sitions on the ballot, as in the case

applies to county candidates also.
lhe new fashion in ballots en-
.ailed a big job for their arrange
nent, but al The same time il gives
no candidate an undue advantage
n having his name appear first on
lll 3he ballots as was formerly the

Mr. Anderson has given personal (
attention to the details Of the ire
work. As soon as the /
