A dense silence still enshrouds the
candidates on the republican ticket
from congressman down-as to where
they are at on national issues. Are they
for Taft and his vetoes of tariff bills
framed in the interest of the people,
or for Roosevelt and his third term
ambition? We believe the people of the
state have a right to know.

This years campaign in Cavalier
county gives promise of being a clean,
wholesome one. Perhaps during the
closing days of the fight someone, whose
taste runs that way, will resort to
throwing dirt, in which case men of
judgment will condemn the man who
first thrusts his hand into the mud.

elms on the grounds of the Depart
ment of Agriculture at Washington,
and soon after on trees in the streets
of the same city. Up to this time the
insect remained unidentified In the
American chronological collections,
but in 1889 more complete material
was received by the Division of Ento-
mology of the department of agricul-
ture, from which the insect was de-
termined to be identical with the elm
pest of Europe (Gossyparia ulmD
Geoffroy.
So far as Is known, the insect con-
fines its attacks in this country to the
elms, but presents some variability in
its preferences for the various species
of elms in different localities. In Eu-
rope, however it has been found on
the alder.
According to the reports of the OBJ
servers at the above mentioned locali-
ties, the insect attacks the American
elms more vigorously than the intro
duced European species, and thus it is
added TO the already long list of immi-
grant animals and plants that have
found in this country conditions more
congenial than those of their foreign
home.
One is most apt to first notice the
presence of this insect by seeing great
numbers Of circular whitish rings sur
rounding a dark center clustered along
the under side of the lower limbs and
branches. If the bark is cracked,
rows of the insects will be found to
cover the cracks and so be arranged
longitudinally to the branch. These
light margined objects are the bodies
OF old female lice and may be one,
two or three years standing. A clos
er examination will reveal the fact
that many of the central darker parts,
which are the bodies proper of the
lice are absent, these having fallen
away with age
The white marginal ring surround
ing the body of the insect, consists of
a somewhat fbrous, waXy material, Sc
creted by the developing insect 1t
becomes firmly attached TO the bark
and curled inward, where its edge is
somewhat fringed. The body becomes
with age dark brown, smooth, convex
longitudinally, the augmentation usu-
ally remaining distinct.
The preceding description applies
to the female only. The male insect
assumes a very different form. AS the
males do not take food, they may be
found at any point on the bark, usu-
ally, however, in more or less pro-
tecting spots. On nearing maturity,
the males secrete a minute pocket
like case, or cocoon, within which they
cast their larval skin, and acquire a
single pair Of wings. They then

Ject less than a twelfth OF an inch
long. Where the plates of cork are
numerous on the branches of the cork
elm, the female lice become fixed to
the narrow strips Of living bark be-
tween the plates of cork. while the
male cocoons may be found in the mar
row crevices in the cork.
The young lice, as they appear at
this season, can be seen with the un-
aided eye only on close examination.
Under a strong lens, a cluster Of them
presents dull grayish appearance.
Individually they are somewhat oval
In shape, and are covered with minute
whitish spines. Most of them are

on being disturbed many will leave
their positions, moving sulggishly.
The destruction of this insect
should not be attended with the diff
Guilty that has characterized efforts In
this direction against the San Jose and
other scale insects. The latter are
protected by roof-like scale which
protects the tender parts Of the body
and enables the insects to very eff

insect, the body remains exposed and
thus is more likely to yield to the ac'

Kerosene emulsion and whale-oil
soap seem to be effectual remedies
when the insects are reached by them.
Spraying will have to be done at diff
ferent periods and may be found to
be most effectual when the insects are
most active.
The fumes of hydro-cyanic acid gas
effectually destroy the lice, but the
use of the remedy necessitates the en-

Our physical comfort requires that there
be a continuous loss of heat from our
body. Normal health also requires that
there be an outlet of the heat generated by
normal animation, as we consume air, wa

covered with clothes are insulated from the
