TURAL NOTES

Cut Worms.
! Many acres Of various crops have
been cut down by cut worms dur
ing the last two months. Each week
we have hoped for warmer weather
that would likely reduce these raw
ages yet the damage was continued.
The State University recommends the
following poison bran mixture: Bran
'16 lbs, Paris Green lb., salt 1-2
lb., cheap syrup or molasses l gal
Ion. Mix the dry ingredients first,
then add the syrup diluted with a
little water Combined as a slightly
moist mash it may be scattered over
fields or around plants in the eve
ming and will get the worms as they
come out to work during the night.
If not too wet SO that Jumps form
ii should not be poisonous TO birds
or poultry
Poultry Insects.
Mites and lice thrive during warm
weather. Lice may be controlled by
using certain powders or by using
blue ointment. An ounce of blue oint-
ment 10c.) will treat about about
25 hens as only small amount is
needed for each application. Apply
about the amount of kern2l of
wheat on the head, just back of
around the vent Repeat every two
months Preferably use mornings of
warm days. The amount used for
one old hen is enough to treat sey-
the day TO come out at night and
suck out the life blood o, de-
fenseless fowls. Crude oil is cheap
here at Payette Csc. gallou) aud If
thinned slightly with kerosene is ef- (
fectiye for several weeks. Use one
part kerosene to four parts crude
oil. Use a force pump and fill every
creyice and hiding place in the hen
house. Some people report that lice
seem to thrive on lime-sulphur spray
so better use crude oil as suggest /
ed above.
Typhoid Flies.
Clean premises prevent flies be-
ing hatched yet flies may swarm
over from 2 nearby harnyard III
conditions continue better report this
nuisance to the City Council SO that
they have privilege to act. Large
traps may be made that will trap
several thousand flies before the
nuisance can be abated Fly swat
.ers are more effective II made
Of double thickness and may be
cheaply made from extra yard of
wire screen. Cut to width desired
out twice as long as needed Fold
and bend in the lower free corners
.hru which padded tacks hold the
screen to a flat handle The raw
edges should also be padded. Flies
lit with one of these doubleweigh's
never wake up. Lets prevent and
rap and swat the typhoid fly.

A Good Plan Adopted.

thorough Street man. and the day

returned to Payette Monday evening.
He reports everything moving along
very nicely They have oar ready
for shipment, and as soon as a lit
tie work is done on the road they
will begin putting the ore on the
market. At the present time, kromite
ore is in big demand at very high
price, and it is quite likely that
within short time this company viii
be doing a profitable business.

 MOOSE VISIT
 PETERSBURG

Dr. Pigg was an honor guest at a meeting of the Petersburg Moose lodge Saturday night.
 The Petersburg Moose ex- tended an invitation to the Wrangell Moose to meet with them on that occasion. Seven teen members of the local lodge accepted the invitation, and made the voyage to Petersburg on the Karen, K. J. Johansen, captain.
 The party left Wrangell at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon arriv- ing in Petersburg at 6 o'clock. The lodge held its meeting in the Sons of Norway hall. Dr. Pigg was called upon to preside. Eight candidates were initiated and the Doctor saw to it that no candidate was neglected.
 Following the adjournment Of the lodge there was a ball which was largely attended and hugely enjoyed. The Sons of Norway hall is ideal for dancing. The mu- sic was excellent. The ladies were pretty and vivacious, and all in just the right mood for dancing. What more could the Wrangell visitors have wished! The gay whirl was kept up until 2::3O a. m., and it was the boast of a number of the Wrangell boys that they did not miss a single dance.
 The Petersburg Moose are surely crowd of royal good fel- lows. They not only gave the Wrangell Paps the glad hand but passed an ordinance making the

money of Wrangell Moose counterfeit.
 Upon their arrival at Peters, burg the guests were escorted to a restaurant where they ate like a pack of hungry wolves. When they went to settle for their din- her the cashier explained that a rush was on and they could settle the next morning at breakfast. The visitors were guests of the Hotel Wester. When they went to pay for their nights lodging the host informed them that the Petersburg Moose were not broke. From the hotel the vis- itors went across the street to a restaurant where they had a bountiful breakfast. When they went to settle for their two meals, Sam, the Japanese cashier, said: Moose pay for your meals; con- tract all samee feed prisoners.
 When it comes to showing hos pitality to visitors Petersburg always does herself proud. The membership of Peter s bur g Moose lodge is made up of past masters in the art of showing visiting paps royal good time.
 Followingis a list of the Wran- gell Moose who made the voyage to Petersburg: F. M. Goodrich, K. J. Johansen, Wm. Patterson, John Johnson, Henry Heinbuckle, Charles Moberg, A. Jakobitz, Ned Lemieux, Lloyd Dalgity, c. M. Marshal, John Berg, E. J. La Bounty, Julius w. Mason, A. Ralph Hall, Harry Coulter, J. J. Arola, Harry Coulter. J. w.. Pritchett.
 c. M. Marshal was so well pleased with Petersburg that he decided to remain there for a considerable length of time. He stated that he would return to Wrangell on the first steamer southbound.

STEAMER SPOKANE
 ASHORE
Hits on Points in Dense Fog Passengers
 Taken Off Safely

The steamship Spokane went aground half way between Ketch- ikan and Seattle last Friday. The passengers were transferred to the Princess May. Later the Spokane was pulled off the bar by the Admiral Evans. The yes sel was reported in a perilous condition. Further details are lacking.
 The Spokane was rounding out her first voyage of the winter season to Seward and other Southwestern Alaska ports via Juneau and Ketchikan, with the British Columbia call on the homeward journey.
 The Spokane is a steel, single screw steamship of 2,036 tons register, built by the Union Iron Works, of San Francisco, for the former Pacific Coast Steamship Company, in 1901. At the time of the merger of this company with the Admiral Line she passed into the possession of the new company, known as the Pacific Steamship Company, of which H. F. Alexander is president. She is270.1 I feet long. 40.l fest beam, and 17.3 feet depth and has ac- commodations for 250 passengers. Her crew number thirty eight. The number of passengers aboard was not known. It is presumed that she carried close to her ca pacity list, as southbound traffic has been heavy from Alaskan. ports.

LAWRENCE HORGHEIM
 DIES IN CALIFORNIA

Wrangell was shocked a few days ago by a cablegram an nouncing the death of Lawrence Horgheim which occurred in Modesto, Cal, at 10 pm. We'd nesday, November 21.
 MT. Horgheim had been in poor health for the past three months. On October 12 he left Wrangell for California in company with his sister, Miss Amanda Horgheim.
 California seemed to agree with Lawrence at first, but soon his health began failing again. Early in November his mother received news concerning his condition which caused her alarm. Mrs. Horgheim and Misses Bella and Edith Horgheim left Wran- gell on November F en route to Modesto. Lawrence passed away about the time his mother and sisters reached Seattle. It is supposed that interment was made at Modesto.
 Lawrence Horgheim was born in Minnesota 22 years ago. He came to Wrangell with his par ents IA years ago. He attended the Wrangell public school. For the past six years he held the position as wharfnger at the St Michael Trading Company dock. Last winter he made trip to the Hawaiian Islands and spent sey- eral months in Hilo and Homo lulu.
 Lawrence Horgheim was a young man of fine physique, and with training would have easily developed into an athlete. On last Fourth of July he won the first prize in the hundred yard dash.
 He was a member of the
  Presbyterian church. He was al so affiliated with the Moose lodge and the Arctic Brotherhood.
 Lawrence Horgheim was a young man of many sterling qualities. He had a host of friends who deeply deplore his untimely death.
 His father and mother and sis ters have the sympathy of the entire community.

HR. LOPP TELLS OF WORK WITH
 ALASKA NATIVES
Industrial Development of Ma lives at Hydaburg Is
 Touched On

W. T. Lopp. superintendent of Education for the government schools of Alasha is making his annual tour and inspecting the work being accomplished in this Division. Mr. Lopp said this morsoing that he is well pleased with the work being done and outlined several of the plans of the Board for future work.
 We are at the present time training two native girls in the government hospital at Juneau to become nurses and it is our plan eventually to have one or more trained nurses in each vil- lage. At the present time one girl from the Hyda tribe and one from the Thlingets are being trained.' he said.
 Tt is the policy of the Bureau to work in natives as fast as they prove themselves competent. In the northern section at the present time we have several schools under the direct charge of educated natives and they are doing excellent work. As fast as possible others will be worked in.
 Reverend Marsden. one of the best known educated natives of Southeastern Alaska was re- gently offered a position with the Metlakahtla school, but was not in position to accept. MT. Marsden recently severed his connection with the Presbyterian Board of Home Missions.
 It is our intention as fast as possible to make the Metlakahila school an industrial institution. It will differ from ChemaWa and other native schools in the states in that we will not accept the younger pupils. Boarding school features will be connected with the school. We intend to take the older and more advanced boys and girls and give them a full industrial education, which they could not receive in any other school.
 A movement is now on foot among the natives of Hydaburg to have a doctor stationed thena. The natives will pay the cost themselves on a cooperative plan, each native paying about 50 cents each month toward the cost of the doctor and the ex- penses. It is thought that this feature will be worked out in the near future.
 "The mill at Hydaburg has been an excellent investment for the natives of that village. The mill was started in 1912 by the natives themselves with S1l, 900 paid up capital. Since that time their reports show that they have all received their original invest ment back and big dividends. have in mind one man who in- vested $10 and who to date has received S129.66, besides having his stock in the company intact. The mill cost $11, ,000 and to date dividends amounting to $14,O00 have been paid. besides repaying the cost of the original invest ment," he said. - Empire.

LOCAL FOOD
 CONSERVATION CAMPAIGN
Will Begin In Earnest on Friday Afternoon
 of This Week

Wrangell's Food conservation committee met Friday night ard outlined plans for an effective campaign in Wrangell. <
 All householders are requested by the committee to remain at home on Friday, November B, between 1 and 6 p. m., in order that the committee may call upon them to sign the cards asked for by the government.
 The cards are to be collected by a committee of school pupils appointed by Miss Carhart who will collect the cards each Satur- day beginning December 8.
 Mrs. Mason, as secretary of the committee will receive the cards and make out the report.
 The United States Food Ad- ministration is sending out the following letter addressed to all active workers in the family enrolment campaign:
 Uncle Sam is mighty big and strong, but he is not so big and strong that he can afford to break a promise. There is notia real American in this country who would not fight to p1sss good one of Uncle Sam's promises. When Uncle Sam says anything, that means that all his loyal sons and daughters have said it. The honor and interest of this nation are in the keeping of our splendid citizenry.
 Here is the proposition: We have promised to 'grub-stake' the Allies. We said: You need not farm-you fght!''
 They did not farm, but how they did fight.
 Winter is coming on. There were few for the sowing and there are fewer now for the har- vest. The pinch has come. In France they are looking across the sea and saying:
 How about that grub-stake, Uncle Sam; how about that grub stakew
 They are not whimpering, the Frenchman, they are not that kind, but they are hungry and if we fail them with our grub stake" they will S-T-A-R-V-E Thousands of them-men, wo. men and little children. Gnawing at a mere empty promise will not help them. Nothing will help them but food.
 It is food that will win the war.
 How are we going to get it?
 We are going to save it-save it to save our pals, because that's S what the Allies are in this fight.
 We are going to make good on Uncle Sam's promise that he would furnish the "grub-stake' for this war.
 The Allies need more wheat, more meat, more sugar. It is either wheatless and meatless days for us or wheatless and meatless months for them.
 And we are going to help every one of us. There is nc mistake about that. We will make good on the ''grub-stake' promise for the sake of the folk who trusted us and for the sake of our soldiers as well. Just re. member that they are bound for France, the land where we are sending the ''grub-stake."
 We want no regrets after this l war. We have had ample warn
