that the cigarette beetle has become
notorious. The greatest damage is
done to the wrappers of cigars and
cigarettes. through which 1t eats small
holes.
The larvae live upon the tobacco leaf.
and a very interesting fact is that the
size Of the adult beetles, into which the
larvae eventually develop depends not
only on the quantity. but also on the
quality. of tobacco that has been de-
voured in the immature stages. Ex-
pertinent has shown that in every case
beetles obtained from selected cigars
were double the size of those from
low grade tobacco. 1t will be remem-

The BOY SCOUTS COLUMN.
MILFORD BOY SCOUT NOTES.

The regular meeting of Troop was
held at headquarters Thursday evening,
at 80. After the usual business had
been transacted, two new names were
presented for membership. In addition
to these, other names are in the hands
of the Membership Committee and as the
roll of Troop is now complete it will
be necessary to establish a mailing list
and admit new members in the order in
which their names have been presented.
In regard to a proposed hike of Troop
2, a vote was taken to determine its OBJ
jective point, and it was decided 10 90 to
Bowers Beach. Weather permitting and
if satisfactory arrangements can be made
for the transportation of camp outfits,
the trip will be made Monday, Tuly 26
IT is desired that as many members as
possible avail themselves of this oppor-
tunity in order to acquire practical camp
experience. Definite plans for three
days stay will be outlined, and every
Scout will be expected to familiarize him
self with them and be prepared to credit
ably acquit himself of his duty
Any refraction of the rules or neglect
of duty on the part of any Scout will dis
qualify him from participation in future
hikes of this character. The necessary |
expenses of the trip will be paid out of
funds in the Troop Treasury, but each |
Scout will be expected to carry with him
sufficient funds for incidental expenses.
Each Scout should be prepared to take
with him, in addition to the clothing
worn on the person, blanket comb, house
wife, rubber poncho, cake soap, pair
stockings, tooth brush, towel, change of
lnderclothing, cup, knife, fork, spoon pan.
Cooking will be done, if possible, by pa

Start Movement in North Dakota
to Secure 1000 New Men,
bers.

Grand Forks, N. D., April 9.-One
thousand new members is the goal OF
the membership committee OF the
North Dakota w. C. T. U, as announc
ed in the current bulletin Of the North
Dakota organization.
Plans for obtaining this number OF
added members are we'll under way
and the committee anticipates sue
cess long before the end Of the IL
months period.
The North Dakota campaign for
new members is a part Of the genera
scheme Of the National w. c. T. u,
which is seeking a total Of 10000 new
members in the United States during
the year.
In the current bulletin nc little at
tention is given by the various writ
ers to the question Of woman suffrage,
and they all declare thems lives ready
for the fray. The defeat of the suf-
frage bill in the last legislature Will
be followed by the circulation of in
itiating petitions, under the provi-
sions of the initiative and referendum.
No mention is made in the bulletin
Of plans to bring about a vote on the
suffrage question at the next genera!
election, but the determination With
which the supporters OF suffrage are
preparing themselves for the coming
fray indicates they will leave no op-
portunity untouched.
Under the initiative plan, a bill Fro
posed by the people must be filed with
the secretary of state at least six
months in advance of the election. 1t
is then voted upon at the general
election, and if approved by a majo-
ity Of the people, it goes to the leg,
islature for action.
In the event of the legislature ap'
proves the bill, it then becomes law
Should the legislature, however, fail
to pass the bill, it then reverts to the
people for a second vote at The polls,
coming up again in two years. Its
second approval by the people puts
the bill in operation. irrespective OF
the legislative assembly
This scheme, if adopted by suffrage
workers, means a suffrage vote in

HOW conflict
Affects TRADE
Shipping Industry Is Tied Up at
Rotterdam; Holland Hard
Hit.

Rotterdam, April 9.-The transit
shipping trade of Rotterdam is sui
fering to an enormous extent. In
peace times this port ranks third in
Europe for this kind of traffic. Dur,
ing January and February only 749
vessels Of all kinds entered port, as
compared with 1905 in the correspond
ing period Of 1914, and their tonnage
was only 804,5l1, against 2,096,612 in
January and February last year.
The loss is due not only to the cur.
tailment OF traffic by sea, but also to
the fact that a large proportion Of the
usually immense water-borne trade
with the Rhine districts has been cut
off by the prohibition of export of Ger
tain goods. The labor exchanges are
consequently more crowded every day
with the numberless unemployed.
Groups of them are to be seen also
at all hours of the day around the
wharfs.
In addition to the suffering thus
caused to seamen and shipbuilders,
who form a large proportion of Rot

Among the clothiers the prohibition
of the export of wooden stuffs from
the British Isles has been a hard
blow, together with the fact that
court functions have been abandoned
until the end of the war, and that
there is a general Tightening of purse
strings. s
The trade Of supplying the worlf

to profit by the war. Holland wa
the first country in the world to star
the manufacture OF margarine, pro
duced from oleo-stearine and oleo-oi,
most of the latter from the Unite:
States, South America and Austral
