While the little beetle we call a lady
bird is passing the winter in sleep it
is gathered up by millions and shipped
to the fruit farmers who suffer from
the green fly. Every one knows this
pretty insect. which is black or red
dish and spotted with yellow or black
or red.
Ladybirds live upon the green fly,
and by turning them loose upon the
fruit farms and melon patches 1t is
found that when the ladybirds wake
up in the spring they soon clear away
the pest that does so much harm.
Whole cargoes Of ladyblrds have been

SHOWING FORCE OF EXAMPLE
Female George Washington Is Abroad
In the Land, and Cherry
Trees Suffer.

Probably no other American legend
ever appealed to the national mag
ination more powerfully than the cher
ry tree story. Certainly none has so
completely captivated the fancy of
Mrs. John Gowen of Hickory Ridge,
Pa.
Several weeks ago a resident OF
Hickory Ridge discovered that sew
eral fine cherry trees on his property
had been ruthlessly chopped down.
There was no conceivable reason why
the trees should have been destroyed,
and the identity of the offender re-
NAMED a mystery until Mrs. Gowen
voluntarily acknowledged that she
had done the chopping.
In the prosecution that followed it
developed that Mrs Gowen had no
substantial reason for telling the
trees. 1t appeared. however, that she
had a consuming hatred of falsehood
and had chopped down the cherry
trees merely In order to gain an op-
portunity to prove that she could not
tell lie.

crust which was very itchy. 1t was on
the top of her head, and the crust be-
came as large as the palm of my hand.

Il used a remedy but had no success
with it. I used it nearly two weeks.
then a friend recommended Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. l used the Cuti-
cura Ointment, applied it on the
scalp at night and morning, and in
four days the scalp was all healed, no
sign of crusts or scabs could be seen.

American goods should be packed for

Conditions are such that the pack

Germans and the Japanese under

manufacturers are either careless in
this respect or ignorant of what is de-
