Dust Strip STOPS Chinch Bugs.

II
/ How can l get rid Of chinch bugs?
This is the question before every one
who has field infested with them.
Leonard Haseman Of the Department
|Of Entomology Of the University Of
Missouri gives these directions.
IF the weather does not turn hot
and wet 10 that the disease will
develop and kill the bugs, the only
thing to do is to keep the bugs FROM
going from the wheat to the corn.
The young bugs cannot fly. They
cannot crawl over fine dust, coal tar,
crude oil or similar chemicals. A
strip Of dust, or any chemical over
which they cannot cross, distributed
around a wheat field will keep most
OF the bugs within the field and save
the corn. If the soil is dry enough
to pulverize into fine dust the dust
strip will keep the bugs from leaving
the wheat field.
'Plow a deep furrow around the
wheat field. Cut a log about ten
inches in diameter and ten feet long.
Drag this log back and forth in the
Efurrow and the dirt will soon be
pulverized into fine dust, Get this
ditch in shape before the bugs start
to leave the wheat. Keep the log
going from eight o'clock in the morn
ing until five in the afternoon, as long
as any bugs attempt 10 get out Of the
wheat field. The idea is to keep the
bugs In the wheat field after the
wheat is cut, so they will starve. If
it rains, this dust strip will not work.
In that case chemical barrier will
have to be used"

CAREFUL CONSIDERATION
Being Given by Government to Bank
 Scandal.

Washington, April 15.-Interest in the effort of the Riggs National bank to secure injunctions against Secre- tary McAdoo and Comptroller of the Currency John Skelton Williams, cen tered yesterday on the question of whether these proceedings might not be overshadowed by a counter attack upon officials of the bank with pro- ceedings alleging violations of the Ma tional bank act.
 Mr. Williams declined last night to discuss this phase of the matter or to indicate whether or not the goVCGn ment's case would go beyond civil pro- ceedings. It became known, however that careful consideration was being given to all statements and corre- spondence between officials of the bank and the comptroller's office. Dis trict Attorney Laskey, whose aid would be invoked in other than civil proceedings. was in conference yestcr- day at the department of justice with Louis D. Brandeis, counsel for the comptroller and Mr. McAdoo.

treatment of tuberculosis requires much more than the mere giving of medicine and, moreover, what will help one case will not necessarily help another. Claims that are absolutely unwarranted are no longer permitted on the labels of medicines shipped in interstate commerce, but the wording may be such as to convey a misleading impression without the use of absolute statements. Thus these preparations continue to find a sale despite the fact that a little trouble on the part of the prospective purchaser will re- veal their worthlessness

Last week he rounded up his girls

it was necessary for them to buy

AS fast as bodies were taken from
the hull of the Eastland or dragged
from the open river this afternoon
they were removed to the Second
Regiment armory for Identification.
Side by side, they were placed with
the bodies which have been in the
armoTy since late Saturday night.
Hundreds who had made a first
fruitless search through the rows of
dead returned to the sorrowful quest
when they learned of new arrivals.
Each of the bodies recovered today
was Immediately embalmed.
Shortly before I o'clock the body Of
an 18-year-old girl was dragged from
the river under the Wells street
bridge. Less than a hundred feet
from the sunken steamer the bodies
of a man of SO and boy, II, were
brought to the surface. A man, AZ,
was taken from the hold of the ship.
All we're removed to the aTmory.
At that time divers reported scores
of bodies could be seen wedged in
the wreckage of the. dance floor and

SALESMAN HIT BY
TROLLEY CAR DIES
James {. KriSSinger Struck on
South Shore Loses
Both Legs.

James T. Krissinger. a travelling
salesman living at 229 Laporte. av"
was struck by a south shore car near
the Cummins stop at $50 o'clock Mon
day night, receiving injuries that re-
suited in his death at Epworth hos
pital two hours later.
Train No. Al, manned by II. ]. Stan
ley motorman, and r. y. Schimmel'
conductor, ran over Krissinger, after
ne had slipped in some way beneath
the car The rear trucks of the car
struck Krissinger, cutting off the LETT
foot at the ankle, and severing the
right leg just below the knee. Loss or
blood resulted in death, which occur
red at 1910 o'clock.
The accident occurred one block
west of LapOrte av., IN front or the
South Shore power station. Between
the tracks and the fence at that place
the clay bank slopes towards the
tracks, and it is believed that Kris
singer was walking along this bank
and slipped in under the car. The
bank was slippery on account of the
wet weather.
Motorman Sees Body
Motorman Stanley stated after the
accident that he saw some object on
the left side of the track when he was
about half a block away. When the
car got closer, Stanley saw that there
was a man lying near the tracks, and
applied the air brakes.
The front wheels, he said, did not
run over Krissinger, who must have
slipped farther down the bank as the
car was passing him. His legs were
cut off by the rear wheels, according
To the stories of both the mOtOrman
and conductor. The car was stopped
a few feet east of the scene of the ac-
cident, passengers and crew rendering
first aid to the injured.
Krissinger was taken TO the hospital
in the police ambulance, in charge
of Officers Parker. OConnel an, Mill
Ter. Dr. Edgar Myers attended Kris

FARMERS GATHER
IN THEIR WHEAT
Early Harvest in St. Joseph
County Shows Very Uneven
Crop This Year.

In spite OF the fact that the weather
has been unsettled and rainy during
the past two weeks the farmers OF st.
Joseph county have succeeded in har-
vesting their wheat crop. getting the
grain into the shock where il is at
least in better shape TO stand the rain
than IL was while standing
The wheat crop this year is more
uneven than il has been for "a number
OF years In some parts of the county
the straw IS iong and heavy while
the heads are very short, and In Otner
parts of the county or even IN the
fields next TO these, the straw is short
and the grain heads heavy Because
of this lack Of a well-balanced crop 1t
is hard To estimate the 1913 yield in
the county as compared with the yield
OF previous years.
This county is far in advance Of the
other northern counties of Indiana as
wheat in those counties is still stand
ing in the fields awaiting the harvest
err St Joseph county has larger
acreage this year than il has had for
several seasons as the farmers were
unable 10 get their ground planted TO
corn in the spring last year and they
left il for wheat in the fall
II Is expected that threshing will
begin the last Of this week or next
week, as the harvesting machines are
ready for business as soon as the grain
has had the proper curing in the
shock
oats harvest will begin the latter
part OF this week and viii probably be
out OF the way by the middle of next
week il the weather permits. The oats
crop is very heavy this year, consid-
ering the heavy rains and unsettled
weather during the spring and sum-
.fr.r-.. Ia e 1nr
grain Is lying Hat on the ground as
the result Of the winds during July
which played havoc with the heaviest
fields OF oats.
The second crop of alfalfa is being
greatly affected with a disease new TO
most of the farmers of this part of
the country, called leaf stop. This dis
ease affects the leaves OF the alfalfa
causing them 20 wither and it is
urged that the farmer cut the crop as
soon as he finds any of this disease in
his crop As soon as ii is cut the
ground should be narrowed and if this
precautiOn is taken the disease will be
overcome before il gets a start in this
section of the country.
The onion crop has been greatly
hampered during the last few days
because OF the damp weather and the
