FINDS PHYSICAL DETECTIVES
NUMEROUS AMONG APPLICANTS

Is it because only the physical de-
fectives in Richmond and vicinity want
to join the army and serve their coun-
try, or is the reason found in the fact
that the men who live in this section
of the state are, as whole, not physic-
ally normal? ....~.=
Seldom before in his varied exper-
fence as recruiting officer for the
United States army has Sergeant
Bond, now on duty at the Richmond
station, examined so many defective
army applicants as during the past
three weeks
Last week / had physical eXamina-
tons made of ten prospective recruits
and We had to reject eight Of them,
in each instance because of some

Weaklings Not Wanted.
The army is no place for Weaklings,
consequently the applicants for enlist

enlistment appeared to be in normal
health and gave promise of making
good soldiers but, when examined, re.
vealed unsupported deficiencies.

FACTS ABOUT INSECTS

In order that the farmer may sue

which injure his crops, 1t is necessary
TO know something regarding insects
in general, their life-histories, habits,
enemies, and the remedies that may
be used against them successfully.
Briefly, insects may be divided into
two classes. One develops from the
egg to the adult without any resting
stage. Insects belonging to this class
are said to have an incomplete change
OF form. The other class has resting
stage in Its life-history, and insects
belonging to this class are said to have
= complete change OF form. In In
complete change OF form there are
three stages in the life cycle OF the
insects. First. the egg. which is laid
by the adult and from which an active.

Matched. This "nymph" is wingless,
