with the codling moth. The use of the
bands, although laborious and expen-
sive, Is profitable under these condi-
tions but If they cannot be cared for
systematically they should not be
used.
A codling-m band trap recently
devised by the bureau of entomology
can be substituted for the banding
method. This trap, when properly adj
justed to the tree trunk permits the
codling-moth worms to enter it and
prevents the escape of the moths.
While this trap was designed primarily
for the cOdling moth, it's principle Is
applicable to other insects having sim
liar habits.
The trap can be readily made by
the fruit grower at little expense, and
may be attached at any time during
the winter or spring, not later than
one month after the petals have
dropped.
The following supplies are needed
for making and attaching the traps:
% Black-painted wire-screen cloth l
foot wide, II meshes to the inch; (2)
burlap CLOTH (3) pitch-tar; (4) small,
portable oil heater; 90 hammer,
pliers, wire shears, and tacks.
The wire screen is the ordinary fly
screen, and the 1-foot width is the
most desirable of the regular stock
material to use. Cut the screen into
strips 6 inches wide and fold the
edges twice, allowing one-fourth inch
to each fold. A convenient way to
fold the edges is to use folding ma
chine as employed by timers. If a
cr1mping machine, such as used by
timers to reduce the ends Of stove
wire screen should then be run through
the crimper. This will give the wire
very desirable bulge and at the
same time will permit considerable ex-
pansiOn of the trunk without break
ing the screen. Next cut the burlap
into strips inches wide and fold to
three thicknesses. If the burlap after
cutting is first soaked in water, 1t can
be readily creased, and may then be
done up in rolls for convenience in
handling.
Select the most regular section of
the trunk and encircle 1t with a strip
of the burlap band. This Is held in
position by large tacks, the heads of
which should project about one-fourth
inch beyond the burlap or a total of
about one-half inch from the trunk.
These should be driven at intervals
of 3 to 4 inches.
Next cover the band with the screen
and tack one end, leaving the burlap
In the middle of the screen. Let one
person grasp the lower edge Of the
screen with the pliers and draw tight
ly while the other taps 1t with ham
mer until it conforms snugly and, at
the same time, fastens 1t to the trunk
with lacks. Cut the wire screen long
enough to allow an overlap of to
with the upper edge and finally tack
the lap securely. 1t is advisable to
fasten the lower edge first, since, If
the upper edge is first attached, 1t is
somewhat difficult to see whether the
lower edge fits tightly. 1t will be
noted that the lacks extending beyond
the burlap serve to prevent the wire
screen from pressing the band.

PORTO R|CANSN NEAR
FAMINE CONDITIONS
Many Towns in the Island Are
Reported Without a SIM

INFLUENZA IS SERIOUS

SAN JUAN, P. R., December Cor
respondence of the Associated Press)
Many towns in the island are with
out single bag of Fice, and the
shortage in many localities has
brought about condition described
by those in position to know as
bordering on famine.
This food shortage is adding very
greatly to the seriousness of the in
fiuenza epidemic, and many deaths
are attributed not so much to the
disease itself as to the complications
brought about by lack of food.
Gulf Port Shipments Overdue.
Shipments of rice from New Or
leans and other gulf ports which are
now from four to six weeks overdue
probably will bring some relief, but
in the meantime the island authori-
ties anticipate much suffering and
hardship that at present they seem
powerless to prevent.
According to Albert r. Lee, federal
food commissioner and chairman of
the Porto Rico food commission, the
question now is wholly one of trans
portation, and the commission has
considered the local situation so
serious that it has urged upon the

HAzLETT LECTURES

The Hazlett lectures at Wesley college were made
possible by the donation Of a fund for this purpose by
Mr.. and Mrs. T. L. Hazlett, formerly Of Valley City, and
now residents Of California. The purpose Of the endow-
ment was to defray the expenses Of bringing to the col
lege each year a recognized leader in religious and philo-
sophie thought, a man who has a real message of vital
moment. .
Each year since the ndowment was made. some
such man has been brought to Grand Forks through the
clergy and laity have been brought into close contact
with great thinkers of national and international repu-
tAt;on. The value of the service performed is beyond
estimate. ~
The tendency Of the age is to shumanize theology,
and to define religion in terms Of life. In the great
able. In those schools there is almost invariable recog-
milton of the fact that whatever classifcations men may
make for their own convenience. there is absolute unity
and harmony in truth. There can be no contradictions.
The great religious school of today recognizes no conflict
between truth in the special field of it's own endeavor and
truth as ascertained through any other form of invest-
cation. But those who do not come in contact with
this advanced thought cannot well be influenced by it.
The divinity student is touched by it during che few
years Of his college course. The average layman has no
regular means Of approach to it. The lecturers on the
Hazlett course have served the public by delivering their
message to a numerous body Of layn,en in person. and
by bringing to preachers and pastors year by year the
souls. ..
