EPIDEMIC OF MUMPS IS
 DELAYING CHRISTMAS FUN

During the week several new cases of humps have been reported to the city authorities and as a consequence tIsre are no plans at present of lift ing the ban on the assembling of children in putlic places. No Sunday school was held in the churches yes tefday and the young folks are denied admission al the show houses until the epidemic subsidies. Even the school Play which was to have been staged tnlaorrow night at the Auditorium has been taheoed on account of the scare.
 Worst Of all to the children is the delay in the annual arrival of santa Claus at the Christmas festivals of tHe churches, it having been deemed adti~ahlc To hold the Christmas trees at the churches at later date While santa will undoubtedly appear at the homes of the youngsters he will not stop at the churches at this time but Will arrive again when the churches hold their Christmas festivals

.'The Brown-tail and Gypsy Moths
and Parasites is the name or the quar-
terly bulletin of the State department
of agriculture, issued Saturday. In this
bulletin, the great fight which Is pelng
made against these pests Is taken UP In
a comprehensive manner and the life
history is given. The last bulletin pub
lished by the department on the sub
ject of the "Brown-tail Moth was IN
1907. when A. w. Gilman was commits
sioner of agriculture.
The new bulletin, which contains
many illustrations, has for an opening
article very interesting study by e.
E. Philbrook, special field agent of the
department and an article upon Para
site Introduction to Maine" by A. M.
G.. Seule, in charge Of the parasite lad
oratory. completes the bulletin.
The conclusion of the article by Mr..
Soule states that, whatever results
may be obtained by every owner OF
trees, that hand work must continue
for time at least, and very active
warfare must be waged against the
Gypsy and Brown-tail moths.
Time is needed for the parasite
and predatory enemies to control the
rapidly increasing infestations and as
sist in restoring the balance of nature
which has been disturbed. In general
no one may need fear retarding or in
terferring with these parasites by
general determination of their hosts in
the orchards, as the sites selected for
the colonization of these parasites have
lo
moth colonies will afford abundant food
for their support until they become
strong and well established. 1t is the
purpose of the department to give all
information to interested people and
their hope is that everyone interested
in the determination of these moth
pests will acquaint themselves with
the nature of the parasites that none
may be destroyed through ignorance of
the habits of these beneficial insects.
Fortunately it has been possible to
secure the assistance at the laboratory
during the summer, of college men
(more particularly from the University
of Maine) their courses in biology fit
ting them for the work, and their ef-
forts have been greatly apprecia ted.
From the information obtained as
TO dispersion, the results OF the sea-
sons work have been most eneourag-
ing and it will be the policy to breed
and distribute parasites more exten-
siyely another season. The work this
year has proved that the building oc-
cupied and used at present is not large
enough to accommodate the work con-
templated for next season. A large
building, possible of better ventilation,
thus obviate the confinement of work
ing among the poison spines which &C.
casioned so much discomfort, will be
built. The structure will have eapac-
ity of 200 trays and it is hoped with
this equipment to increase the number
of parasite colonies so that all the in
tested territory will be given protec-
ton which ought to assist hand work
greatly"
