MENT WHICH Is WEARING ON MOTHS.
be devoted to cutting and burning
worthless or Seeding apple trees and
wild cherry trees and brush. If this
is done along the roadways and fences
the appearance of the region will be
greatly improved.
Care should be taken to protect pine
and other coniferous trees, and hickory
and ash should not be cut They are
not favored for food either by the cat
erpillars of the gypsy moth or by those
of the brown tail moth.
A general cleanup such as has been
mentioned will greatly assist in con-
trolling this insect. The oak is favor
ed food Of the brown tail moth and Of
the gypsy moth, and wherever it is pos
sible to eliminate oaks less annoyance
from these pests will be experienced.
In cutting wood: In the winter for
purposes Of fuel the farmer would do
we'll to select and cut trees which are
favored as food by these insects. In
this way he will not only secure the
fuel which he desires, but will at the
same time decrease the food supply of
the pests mentioned.
1t is needless to say that in cutting
wood for fuel all sickly or diseased
trees should be selected. so that the
stand that remains will be healthy and
vigorous Each owner must make the
selection for himself, but great deal
can be accomplished by planning the
work little in advance so that the
necessary amounts of fuel can be OBJ
tanned. the preferred food plants of
these insects reduced IN number and
the condition of the wood lot improved.
The gypsy moth occurs In the egg
stage during the winter, and much val
liable work can be done In bringing
about it's control by treating the egg
masses with creosote applied with a
brush. This destroys the eggs SO that
the next brood of caterpillars is re-
duced. =
For the Information of residents Of
the district infested by the gypsy moth
and the brown tail moth it should be-
said that this area has been placed un-
der quarantine by the federal horticul-
tural board. Nursery stock and living
plants cannot be shipped outside the
area unless the trees or plants have
been examined by an authorized in
spector.

EATS PORK At EVERY MEAL

Hoosisr Farmer Says Il 10 Sweet Diet
and Good For Longevity.
Columbus, 1nd.-Do you wish to live
long and be strong? Then eat pork
three times day, says Samuel Reyn-
olds, a farmer here, who is seventy five
and can carry sack Of grain with the
best.
Reynolds eats pork three times every
day, and If he wishes a little snack of
something between meals he eats a
piece Of pork. If he happens to need a
bite of something before going to bed
he eats piece of pork. He never ate
an apple in his life, and he never tasted
any sort of fruit, butter or jelly.

THE GOSPEL OF GOOD TIMES
Being Chapter XIII of the First
Epistle to the Dead Ones Ac-
cording to Saint Elmo

And therefore, it came to pass, when
the seven fat years had been fulfilled,
that there arose those among the people
who cried with one voice: 'Behold, the
years of famine and darkness are upon
u.s..
And straightway they did crawl into
dark caves, and pulled the caves in after
them, and did shut out the sunlight.
And they lamented with many lamen-
tations, saying: "The years of darkness
have come and the sun hides his face
from the children of men,"
Then came others who were wise in
that generation, and did beat upon the
stones that were rolled before those caves
wherein the calamity howlers howled,
and cried unto them to come forth, say
ing: "Behold the sun still shines, and
the face of Nature is fair to see, and thy
crops ripen unto the harvest, and shall
another reap in thy fields where thou
hast sown?"
But jewellers in darkness cried to get
them hence, saying: "Know we not that
darkness is upon the land and we can
not see; nay, verify, even the hands be-
fore our eyes?
Here now will we bide, for we have a
little provision, but enough only to SUI
flee for our own needs during the dark
days, and when we behold the sun again,
then shall we come forth and till the fields
but not yet, nor soon."
And those who were without held
counsel together, saying: ''None are so
blind as those who will not see, and
wherefor shall we not gather to our
selves the ripe grain of these our sightless
brethren which lies ready to our sickles?
Then shall we have all our own and two
fold more, and when these howlers of the
canes are hungered, 10, we will jar loose
from them many shekels for that which
was their own and they would not take.
And it shall come to pass that we shall
wax fat and our sons shall wax strong
upon the land"
AND 1T WAS EVEN so!

Washington. - The department Of
agriculture is making a special effort
this fall to prevent the spread of gypsy
and brown tail moths. It is the pur-
pose Of the government experts to put
into operation some effective means Of
reducing further damage to orchards
and forests by these pests.
In the areas infested by these pests
much effective work can be done to
reduce the damage that these insects
are likely to cause the following year,
according to entomologists Of the de-
partment.

remain on the tips Of the twigs and

BUILDING INSURANCE.

Store buildings were catalogued as I'M
desirable risks by the New Sweden In
surance Company stockholders at their
annual meeting held at Blanks hall in
Nicollet Monday of last week. Ac-
cording to law passed by the last
session of the legislature, township
mutual insurance companies are per-
mitted to insure country store buildings,
but the stockholders decided not to take
advantage of the provision, the general
opinion being that a store is not a de-
sirable risk.
This was the thirty-third annual
meeting of the company and the report
of the secretary shows that it has gradu-
ally increased it's scope of usefulness at
a minimum cost to the members and
policy holders.
The insurance of automobiles was again
brought before the members, who de-
cided to maintain the policy inaugurated
last year, namely, that automobiles be
insured at double rates.
O. K. Door, J. Adrian johnson and
Henry Enter were reelected as directors
