About tho State.

A certain Fairfield man Is sore on the
elements, according to the Journal.
Last winter he purchased pair Of snow.
shoes and there wasn't enough snow all
winter to keep the thongs off the grass;
this summer he has purchased an electric
fan and instead of using 1t for cooling
purposes, has found use for 1t only as a
forced draft for the fireplace chimney.
No wonder be is down on his luck!

The friends OF Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
F. Wiley of Orange, N. j., will be sad
dened to learn OF the death, on July 8,
OF their oldest son, James Mcmillan
Wiley. Gifted and accomplished In va
rious ways, he was young man OF
whom parents might justly be proud,
and his father and mother will feel his
death az an almost inconsolable bereave-
mept. In 1904 he underwent surgical
operation for appendicitis, but failed to
obtain permanent relief, and the rest Ut
his life was prolonged, though inter.
mittent, battle with the same malady.
In 1908, the mslady having REQUIRED, he
again underwent an operation, and, on
account of subsequent occurrences OF the
malady, be was SUCCESSFULLY obliged to
undergo additional operations In 1908
and 1910 In tho last operation-that of
19i0-he was under the surgeons knife
three and half hours, with the result
that post-surgical Tor ether) pneumonia
ensued, which eventually caused his
death. He was 10 bis 2sth year, having
been born on October %, 1885, at Minne-
spolis, MINI. he held . responsible
position with the Queen Insurance Com
pany of New York City, whore he be-
came such an expert in the business
that, in spite Of the periods of disability
to which his successive illness subjected
him, he was repeatedly promoted to
higher and higher positions. Among his
semi-reoreationaI accomplishments were
expertness In the use Of the camera and
proficiency as q performer on the violin.

Spruce bud Worms Increasing.

While 10 conversation with Kenne.
bee Journal representative recently q
prominent lumberman of Wsterville said
that the spruce bud worm, sometimes
called the saw fly, which made Its ap.
pearauce in the woods of the State about
three years ago, Is appearing in greater
numbers, this year, than In any time
heretofore, and that those who are in.
terested In the lumber business and
those familiar with woods are very much
agitated, for there seems to be no para.
site in view that will destroy 1t.
The worm, which greatly resembles a
brown tail moth, 10 about three, fourths
of an inch long, light brown In color aud
gathers in clusters in the buds of soft
wood trees, and 10 not only destroying
spruce and f1r, but all other evergreen
trees. The worms have appeared in
large numbers, the past three or four
years, but the enormous increase this
year is alarming. The worms or saw
flies are exceedingly thick 10 some sec.
lions, especially In the northern part Of
the state. OF course the trees are not all
affected, but the trouble is more severe
in some sections than In others. The
presence of the worms 10 tree will be
apt to take away its life within three OF
four years at the most, and thus great
concern ia felt over the newcomers 10
the forest, and doubly so when there
seems to be NO way to eliminate them.
The worms work best in warm weather,
and the last spell OF hot weather is un.
doubtedly responsible for the great and
alarming increase.
