ROB five STORES.
Garden City Business Houses Entered;
Robbers Escaped in Auto.

Garden City, Kan, April 10.-Bur
glars entered five of the business
houses of this city Tuesday night and
stole about eighteen dollars from the
cash drawer in Goldings Smoke
House. Money seemed to be what the
thieves were after for nothing else
was taken from any of the places en-
tered. Hameric's Jewelry Store; the
grocery stores of E. r. Webster and
J. c. Allen and the tool house at the
new government building were robbed.
Tracks indicate that there were two
thieves and in every case entrance was
made by the door which was pried
open. At Golding's a hole was bored
around the lock and here they broke
a bit. 1t is the opinion of the city
marshal that the robbery was COM
mitted shortly after four o'clock in
the morning. The door of Aliens
grocery was found open in the morn
ing and the marshal who passes it
several times during the night says
the last time he passed it was about
four o'clock, shortly after which time
he left his beat. He was certain that
the door was not open prior to that.

ONION FLY REMEDY.
Wisconsin; Scientists Perfect Spray tc
Kill Pest

Wisconsin: Scientists Perfect Spray to
Kill Pest.
What is believed, after practical ap-
plication, to be- a thorough remedy
against the very destructive and here
tofore uncontrolled onion fly has been
discovered by number of Wisconsin,
scientists. 1t is remedy which, if
generally applied, will result in the
saving of thousands of dollars to the
growers, it is asserted. .4-..
The remedy spray, was evolved
after some four years of experimental
ton by DR.. II. n SEVERN, J. G. San,
ders' and c. f. Cleveland Of the Uni
versityS Of Wisconsin. Last summer
the solution was tried out by onion
growers in that state under ordinary
field conditions, with the result that
they gathered almost perfect crops, by
far the finest grown for. years.
J. According to the best available in
formation, the onion fly was brought
into this country from Europe early in
the nineteenth century. As a maggot
it chews its way into the onion just
at OF below the surface Of the ground
The maggot is the larval stage. Of a
tiny fly, resembling to some. extent
the common house fly, yet with more
pointed body of brownish color. When
the Seeding onions first appear above
the ground in the spring the fly lays
its eggs. The injurious larvae hatch
from the. eggs. in four Or five days.
These larvae then burrow into the
plant, and bitten all onions In a row
for several feet are killed off.
I Close study of the various stages OF
the life Of the pest developed that a pc
Rod of from ten to fourteen days
elapsed between the Matching Of the
fly and the time it started laying its
eggs. This period was selected for de.
stroying the pest. Further experiments
developed a killing poison bait spray.
The latter Is a solution Of 1one-ffth OF
an OUNCE of sodium arsenate III a gallon
of boiled water; to which later is added
one pint Of New Orleans molasses. As
no attempt need be made, to cover the
foliage Of the plants, as, is the case in
ordinary spra wing, the application OF
the remedy viii be found extremely
simple: The work may Be done with a
plain hand syringe or even d Fwhisk
broom dipped into a bucket containing
the solution, the scattering of large
drops being most preferable ,..--;.--.~

Are the Veterans Forgotten?

1t has long been remarked that the
exercises Of the national Memorial
day, May 80, do not attract anything
like the interest that used to be
manifested in them. Twenty years
ago prominent citizens all through
the Northern states used to attend
these functions in large numbers.
There was able oratory and the en-
thusiasm of big crowd. It is mat
ter of keen regret to the remnant of
veterans left today, that it is so diff
ficult to get half as good a turnout
today, says the Crookston Times.
Various expedients have been tried
to make these observances more
popular. They have been held Sun
days and in the evening, instead of
on the holiday. Some such change
may draw a crowd for once. But
the American people are eager for a
holiday. They flock to the ball
grounds and the automobile road.
The eloquence of patriotic speakers
resounds in more or less empty halls.
All which leaves in the mind of
the civil war veteran the feeling that
he is merely a forgotten relic of a
day that has gone by. While he has
been trying to keep alive the memoir
les of the heroisms of the war, the
world current seems to have slipped
by and left him stranded in a for
gotten past.
OF course it would be better If
the American people would. give. a
more respectful attention to serious
observances. Still one must take
them as they are. They may leave
the veterans alone. with their mer-
cries at the burial ground. But that
the old soldiers are. not forgotten is
suggested by the fact that this coun-
try has always maintained pension
system of a generosity that has been
unheard Of in other lands.
You can get out a hundred people
to agitate for some future benefit,
where you could not get ten to cele-
brate an event of history. That is
our American temperament. It is
irreverent to the past. But it is a
part of the restless energy of our
land, always forging ahead, giving,
perhaps, too little thought to the
deeds and struggles of the past.
