STRANGE insect
ON PECAN TREES
INFLICT DAMAGE
LIMBS CUT FROM THE TREES
New Pest is Now Being In
VGStigated

Americas pecan growers are inter-
ested in the discovery near Macon o.
a new pest which promises to prove
az destructive to the pecan tree as IS
the boil weevil to cotton. 1t has been
found in several localities about Ma
con. DR.. Walker, of that city, has sent
one of the insects to the state ento-
mologist for investigation.
Branches displayed by DR.. Walker
showed that the insect, which some
have named the Primer" cut the limb
"a right angles and the cut was as
smooth as if a knife had been used.
When an effort was made to capture
the insects they acted like squirrels,
running around the branches. and
jumping from one branch to another.
4 net was finally used in capturing the
insects.
The insect exhibited by Dr. Wake
was little more than half an inch long !;
had two hard, strongly built wings
two antennae about half an inch long
six legs, two on the anterior section
OF the body, and four on the posterior
section. The jaws we're strong and
the teeth sharp.
AS soon as the entomologist makes
report the matter will be put before
TIC extensive pecan growers of south
Georgia, and if the insect is found 70
be destructive to pecan trees steps
will be taken to stamp them out be
fore they have multiplied too extern
siNely.

cry without look forward or back

little horizon for day-dreanling and

WRITTEN BY ONE WHO KNOWS
aid Also in Their Less Harmful
Moments Of Leisure.


Humorists are people who cut, fit
and finish jokes, jes,s and light verse
and do plain and fancy writing which
is not serious.
Male humorists do this by lighting
pipe or a. cigar. sticking q sheet OF
paper into a typewriter and wishing
they had adopted a mercantile earee..
Female, hamorists accomplish the
feat by twisting their back hair into
knot. nibbling chocolate creams or
chewing some gum, and manipulating
the typewriter in the customary man
ner.
As general thing, nowadays,
humorists are very human. There
are more OF them than there used to
be, The women dress like their sis
ters, and the men are perfectly con-
yeational in their attire.
Occasionally you come across an
oldAschool humorist or a modern one
who clings to the old-school tradt
tions. He imagines that he has TO
wear most solemn face, never smiles.
and looks panied when you laugh at
what he says. This variety goes great
on the rural lyceum circuit.
Humorists are always introduced as
such, Plumbers, housebreakers, bank
ers. dry goods men and wholesale gro
GERS are never classified when intro
duced, but humorsts are always spe.
cited Immediately the persons to
whom they are introduced wat expec-
family for them to say something wild
Ily witty Immediately, also. they are
disappointed, unless they are of the
class who shrek with Joy when the
humorist politely says; 1T is nice
day.
Humorists always have to explain
why they are humorists instead OF fol
lowing some more laborions occupa-
ton Also they are expected to de-
liver afterdinner speeches for nothing,
because being funny is second nature
to them, and they are not supposed to
have any remunerative way of spend
ing their odd moments.
The difference between humorist
and a comedian is that comedian
uses the humorist's humor. II the
hnmorist used the comedians humor
he would starve to death. Another diff
ference is that the comedian makes
from three hundred to five hundred
dollars week.--Life.

The psychology OF the working

apathy. There is no discomfort or

there that restless eagerness to better

ultimate prosperity, which the Amer

r1tOry who had nerve enough to make
the Guggenheims stand hitched,
wants THE GOVERNMENT to open
the coal fields and build railroads in
to the interior of this bounteously
rich country of Alaska.
Dalton came to Alaska in 1884 and
many a path he cut where no man
had ever been before. On the gov
eminent maps these are marked
Dalton trail"
Just now Jack is running saw
mill here, near the Guggenheim
dock. He plans to build a dock of his
own next year and a cold storage
plant. There are vast halibut banks
off this port and cold storage will
make Cordova a fabulously rich fish
ing town.
Before he came to Alaska, Dalton,
who was born in Kansas, drove pack
trains in the great southwest. When
this hardy pioneer came here, it was
just a bowling wilderness!
when first went into the Yukon
country the wolf-packs used to keep
us company said Dalton. "They
trailed us day after day and circ1ed
the camp at night. Now and then
dog wandered too far from the fire
and didn't come back-sometimes
they pulled down horse.
81 was the first man to bring pack
horses into Alaska and they wanted
to put me in an asylum! But it was
no colder here than in Minnesota and
they did fine! Along in 'S7 1 had
three hundred of them packing sup
plies to mines from the head of Lynn
canal, where Skagway now stands.
Hay was $125 ton, SO cleared some
ground on the east slope and raised
timothy, three and half tons to the
acre. 1t cost me about SIS ton in
the barn! So that's how they started
to grow things here"
Dalton is credited with being the
