HESSIAN FLY IN DICKINSON
G. w. Taylor Has Found Fly in Ev-
cry Field Investigated

G. w. Taylor, one of the county
largest and most extensive wheat
growers, says that in every field OF
wheat which he has examined he
finds many evidences of the Hessian
fly and he has been in fields In all
sections of the county and this part
of the state.
st is not possible to estimate the
probable damage at present, but II
there is plenty Of rain and a great
deal Of cool weather causing rapid
growth of the stalk, the damage
will be greatly minimized and de-
creased" he said.
1t was his prediction that II con-
ditions, other than these prevailed
from now on until harvest, the in
Jury would be considerable and the
loss great. At present the wheat
crop does not promise to equal that
of 1915 in quantity but will excel
it in quality.

COURT ADJoURNs UNTIL JULY
Stevens Injunction Suit Taken I'm
der Amusement

Judge King adjourned the dis
trict court this morning at 10:3O
until July 6, when his decision II
the Stevens suit will be given.
After hearing the testimony and
arguments in the Stevens injunction
suit against the county and town
ship officials, Judge r. l.. King took
the case under advisement and af-
ter studying the citations offered by
the lawyers for the plaintiff, will
give decision July 6. In the mean
time all work on this road will be
held up.
The decision hinges on the sta
tus of the road south from the
bridge, and adjoining Stevens land
on the east, where the grading was
being done. Judge King will decide
whether this highway is legal
road, which would make it 40 feet
wide or a road by prescription,
which would give it only the width
between the fences. If the injunc-
tion is annulled Stevens will lose
triangular strip Of land 1000 feet
long and feet wide at the north
base.

IRON POSTS SUPPORT WIRE
German Idea That Makes Their
Trenches Only a Little Way From,
Being Impreonable.

In the Atlantic Monthly Mr.. Edward
Morlae describes a very clever Inn
provement the Germans have made In
their barbed-wire defenses. The
wires are usually fastened to wooden
posts, OF course, but the Germans have
found a better support for them. He
writes:
"After we had taken the German
trench our men set to work to remodel
II, shifting the parapet to the other
side, building little outpost trenches
and setting barbed wire. The latter
job was done in a wonderfully short
time, thanks TO German thoroughncss.
For the wooden stakes to which the
wire Is tied they had substituted soft
