Entomologists or bug hunters of
northern Ohio and Indiana have
warned farmers against grub worms,
saying that certain species of bug
that flies in the air is distributing its
eggs on the ground that are trans
formed into the grub before coming
back to its original form and during
that period as grub worm is when
it's ravages are the greatest on grow
ing crops, more especially growing
corn, which the worm eats when it
first starts growing. It is suggested
that fall blowing for corn is best and
If grubs are noticeable in wheat ground
that greater amount of seed should
be sown so that the worms can have
wider range and not destroy the
whole crop. 1t is fixed fact. as every
farmer knows by experience, that dur
ing certain years there is an exces-
sive number of this species of grub
and If there is any rule laid down to
avoid their ravages on crops it will be
a great advantage to the farming COM

sympathy for the despairing sutton,

It was the photograph of Ann
Lieberman, of New York, girlish
sweetheart of S. S. Hahn, of Los An

stolen from him.
Hahn advertised that if the thief
returned the picture he could keep
the watch. Four hours later, accord
ing to the postmark on the letter, the
thief mailed the picture with the clip
ping to Hahn.
81 am satisfied asserted Hahn.
"The thief can keep the watch. I've

one l possessed, and I wouldn't lose
it for more than the value of the
watch. We're going to be married in

Personal Ambition.

Personal ambition is a quite hon
orable motive. The desire for approval
and praise Is something which nobody
should despise. But a man should not
stake everything upon those; other
wise, when his works fail to obtain
recognition he is disappointed. He
should have in himself as his primary
motive something which makes him
independent of those things, some
thing which prevents him from doiag
all those little things which impede
public work, and make it difficult for
men to work with others.-Sir Edward
Grey.
