CHIGGERs ARE DUE.
Harvest Mite or Red Bug Due to Make
His Annual Visit to Wisconsin.

The annual visit of the chigger is on.
Throughout the Mississippi valley
states, as far north as Illinois and Mis-
souri, and extending across to the At
lantic coast states, the chigger is MAX
ing himself known wherever people
picnic or work In the long grass,
though some call him the harvest mite
and others merely the red bug. Bare
foot boys know him best and love him
least. The chigger's habit is to afix
himself with all his eight legs to the
boys bare skin-or to worm himself
in some mysterious manner through a
plcnicker IS silken hosiery-enter the
pores of the skin and stay there. In
few hours the spot becomes very
painful and causes intense itching.
The large infamed spots are often d.
agnosed as hives, nettle rash, urticaria,
or wheals, and closely resembles the
bite of mosquitoes. On the second or
third day minute water blister usu-
ally develops. If a bath in hot water
or water containing soap or salt is
taken within few hours, no i'll effects
are likely. A person walking through
vegetation is attacked mostly from the
knees down, and an agriculture depart
ment bulletin suggests. sitting flowers
of sulphur in the underclothing from
the knees downward and into the shoes
and stockings. Naphthalene is also
successfully used in the same manner
and is safeguard against several
other form of man-infesting tropical
insects. Where a large area is to be
ridden of the mites, it is recommend
ed by the bulletin that the grass be
cut closely, weeds eliminated and use
less heritage moved as closely as fea-
sible, so as to expose the mites to the
sun. 1t may be practical to spray the
grass after cutting with flowers of
sulphur or a diluted spray of kerosense
emulsion in which sulphur has been
mixed.

How to Build a Big Industry.

American ingenuity is again rising
to its appointed task. 1T has under
taken to supply for all American needs
all the dyestuffs which our manufact-
urers will require. 10 do this, how
ever, means the expenditure of great
deal of new capital for the erection of
plants and their equipment. So long
as the war continues and British
fleet shuts out from our shores the
German dyes, these new American dye
plants will be able to live comfortably.
But when the war ends the German
producers who have made dyes their
especial product will again be able to
undersell the American output unless
the latter receive decent amount of
protection. There is virtually no
secret about this industry which is not
now in our possession. It is only a
question of whether capital will risk
this new venture without the assurance
of fair play, according to American
protective standards. Our country has
the capacity to make dyes enough for
the whole world, certainly enough for
our own use. A spirit of broad and
helpful craftsmanship at Washington
would see to it that this expanding
industry will get tariff law that will
enable it to 60 on expanding, war or
no war.-Philadelphia Public Ledger.

MUST GIVE VALUES.
New Law Relating to Valuation of Elk
press Packages Now in Operation.

Express agents here have just receiv-
ed notification from their companies
that in the future the value of each
parcel must be given as nearly exactly
as possible by the consigner before the
article can be accepted for shipment.
The new regulation is inconformance
with the Cummins amendment to the
Interstate commerce act. Its purpose
is to protect both company and custo-
mer. The express rates allow yalua-
ton of fifty cents pound on ship
ments accepted, without increase in
the rate. If shipment is valued at
more than fifty cents a pound and it's
total value is over fifty dollars, the
cost of shipment is ten cents per one
hundred dollars higher. When the
actual value is given in writing, as is
now required, shippers cannot sue the
express companies for unreasonable
amounts if the packages are destroyed.
On the other hand, the company, hav-
ing accepted the extra rate in consid-
GRAFTON of large valuation, in case
of loss of consignment, must pay for
it at the value accepted when the rate
was paid.

WOMAN rs WARNED.
Amelia Kominski Fined Second Time
for Tntoxication Facing Prison Term.

Amelia Kominski, a woman seeming
ly over forty years of age, was given
another chance when she was arraign-
ed on charges of intoxication in the
municipal court this morning. The
woman was charged with intoxication
and the complaint was made under the
state law. 1t was her second time in
court under state law charge and
when she entered a plea Of guilty
Judge Taylor warned her that should
she be brought in on the same charge
again she would be sent to the state
prison at Waupun. The woman was
arrested in barn on the north side
late Friday night. She had as her
companions a man who escaped
through the window of the barn, and a
bottle of "booze.' The woman seem
ed to be mostly interested in the
amount of the fine. Judge Taylor put
it at dollar and costs and the woman
went back to Jail awaiting a friend
to pay it. The police are still looking
for the man in the case.

WAR INCREASES LAKE TRAFFIC
Barred from Atlantic Voyages, TRAY
elers s.See America First

It has taken just eleven months for
the Lake Michigan district to reap its
first See America First travel crop, as
the result of the war which is raging
in Europe. Now that the summer va
cationists are on the move, Lake Mich
gan is getting it's share of the water
travel that would have gone to the At
lantic.
Thousands of vacationists barred
from Atlantic voyages by the German
submarine blockade are now taking
cruises on the Great Lakes, and making
discoveries that surprise them about the
luxuries and comforts that they did not
know existed on boats not engaged in
trans Atlantic service.
When the war broke out last August
it was too late in the vacation season
to do more than generally upset travel
in general Hence the lake boats were
forced to wait until this season to get
well under way before they could be-
gin to reap the reward Of years of pa
tient upbuilding Of water travel routes
The travellers who are using the Great
Lakes are finding it pleasure to have
crews and officers on board all the
boats speak and understand English.
Whether one is bound from Chicago to
Duluth or Chicago to Niagara Falls by
way of Sault Ste. Marie locks, plain
English obtains immediate service.
Travel on the lakes out of Chicago
which started with small excursions to
Michigan resorts a few years ago, has
now expanded until a twelve-day cruise
us the maximum, with five and seven
day cruises finding most favor with va
cation goers, who are successfully seek
ing the quiet and romance of ocean
travel, with none of its attendant dan
gers from torpedoes.

AMEND RECALL ELECTIONS.
Senate Committee Would Have Specific
Charge Made Against City Officials.


In IT, belief that too much leeway is
offered Cor the recall of public officials
in commission governed cities, the SEN
ate committee on corporations has Of
fered an amendment to bill amending
the recall law. The amendment re-
quires petitions for a recall to be spe-
cifc rather than general. The original
bill requires that the petitions be filed

whether such names appear on the regis
try list or not. With the amendment
the bill is recommended for concur
renee.
The same committee reported for non
concurrence an assembly bill providing
that bids for advertising and publica-
tion of proceedings in cities in the sec
and and third class, and in special char
ter cities having between 10000 and
$4,000 population, shall be invited from
all newspapers published regularly at
least once week in such city.
With an amendment the Skogmo bill
abolishing the board of public affairs
and creating a state council composed
of the elective state officers and heads
of commissions is recommended for
passage by the corporations committee.
The amendment grants an appropriation
of $4,000 annually.
The judiciary committee of the SEN
ate recommended for Inconvenience
the assembly resolution condemning the
employment of investigators by boards,
commissions or institutions which they
have investigated, and requesting the
dismissal of such investigators. Sena-
tor Huber dissented. Concurrence was
recommended for bill providing sys-
tenn for absent voting.

ARREST VAN VIE FOR BIGAMY
Chicago Judge Issues Bench Warrant
for Man Who Did Mental Somersaults

Frank Van Vie, the former Milwau-
kee man, who executed mental somer-
sault in Kenosha earlier in the year, is
now in the Cook county jail awaiting
trial on charges of bigamy. Van VIE
was arrested on bench warrant issued
by Judge Harry M. Fisher in the NUM-
cipal court of Chicago on Friday af-
ternoon. He had been brought into
court charged with contributing to the
dependency of his child and for wife
abandonment, but as the evidence was
introduced it indicated that Van Vie
had a wife at the time he married the
young Milwaukee woman who was
known as his wife. At the time Van
Vie was held by the police here both
his wife and sister intimated that
there might be an action for bigamy
against him and they asserted that he
had not been divorced from former
wife at the time he married the woman
who had been known as his wife in
Chicago. The sister of Van Vie made
the complaint on which he was arrest
ed and it is understood that she is to
be active in the prosecution.
