Major J. W. Hanson whose home is
IN Belgrade recently took part in an
engagement in which the first bat
TALON Of the 1o3d infantry took the
leading part, namely the capture Of
Hill 1870. Major Hanson led the at
tack in person with about a half doz-
en- men whom he had chosen. Not
enc OF his men was hit there, but
when the troops emerged from the
woods and started to go through
wheat field, men began to fall every
where. The artillery and machine
gun fire was terrific. but in spite Of it
the men went on just as if on drill.
The Hill was taken at very heavy
cost but the men OF the battalion feel
proud to think that they took this
particular objective, for at the time
they started it seemed an impossible
thing to. do. The taking of this hill
made possible the advance Of the
French on the left.
This battalion was also in the st.
Mihiel drive. The fighting here was
Of shorter duration but very fierce,
although not SO many men were lost.
Major Hanson has sent TO his wife
in Belgrade several souvenirs from
the second battle of the Marne,
among them being German signal
ling pistol, a German bayonet. a belt
with the legend Colt NIT uns." and
3 French bayonet. He says that the
2sth division is known as the first
line shock troops. They have had no
rest since they went into the lines
last February and expected to be at
the front all winter.

Orono, Me, Nov. s.-The follow
ing was issued today from the Office
Of Charles d. Woods, the director Of
the Maine Agricultural Experiment
station at the University Of Maine:
During the past FIVE years the
Maine Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton has carried on an investigation
Of the insect inhabitants of the
of the most important agricultural
products in Maine a study of the life
histories and habits Of those insects
which limit the yields and destroy
the quality Of hay has been deemed
particularly appropriate. The inves-
tigation has been undertaken during
the summer months by DR.. Herbert
Osborn, a specialist in this work and
the results thus far attained have
been exceedingly gratifying, the
principal object of the work was to
determine the effect Of the insects
upon the yield and quality Of hay
and if possible to devise a practical
method for the control of the pests
While the number of species of in
sects found feeding upon grasses is
prodgious the following groups
might be found the most injurious in
the average Maine hay field; the leaf
hoppers, the froghoppers, the army
worms, the seed flies. the grasshop-
pers, the wcevils, the thrips, the wire
worms, the white -grubs and the cut
worms.
OF these considerable attention has
been paid the Leaf hoppers" and
the "Froghoppers, probably the least
commonly known Of the meadow in
sects but at the same time, among
the most important. The leaf-hop-
pers are very small being 1-16 to 3-S
of an inch in length when full grown
but what they lack in size they make
UP in numbers, for they have been
found in ordinary meadows abound
ing to the extent Of 100000 per
acre. Some species are brown, some
are yellow and one of the common
meadow leaf hoppers is light pea
green. AS one walks through the
field they jump with considerable
agility and they are exceedingly hard
to catch in the hand. Their eggs are
generally inserted into the blades or
stalks of grasses in late summer or
fall from which they hatch in the fol-
lowing spring into tiny jumping in
sects that would hardly be noticed
but for the great numbers. These
reach maturity during the summer or
as in some species produce several
generations in the year. AS noted
previously there are several species
Of leaf hoppers. The "Six-spotted
leaf hopper" commonly inhabits the
leaf, stem and head of timothy but
often finds oats and other small
grains an acceptable food. Another
species of considerable importance
in Maine meadows is the Timothy
Crown Leaf-hopper" which is more
often found feeding upon the bulb or
crown and the roots of timothy In
such a situation the insect is hidden
from ordinary observation and it is
not until we actually go out on the
hunt for him that we realize that the
species is present in enormous num-
bers in every old meadow or hay field.

CHAUTAUQUA MAY BE
POSTPONED THIS YEAR

Fairfield, Jan. 30.-It is very posi-
BILE that Fairfield will not hold a Chau'
tauqua assembly this year unless the
unexpected happens and the kaiser is
wiped from the throne of his king
dom. The Fairfield chautauqua is
known as one of the best and the big
gest events of the kind in the state
and the fact that it is not carried on
as money-making proposition but a
community upbuilder and recreation,
is responsible for the possibility OF
it's being postponed this year.
Practically all of the talent for the
assembly has been contracted for
and everything pointed to most ex-
cellent assembly this year but in view
of the fact that Fairfield and Jefferson
county people are busy in various
ways trying to assist in winning this
great war and also considering that
many Jefferson county boys will be in
the thick of the fighting by the time
the assembly is called. it is thought
wise by those in charge to postpone
the event this year. However. there
has as yet been no formal action by
the executive board toward that end
but number of the stockholders have
favored such a move and it is proba-
BILE that a meeting will be called for
the purpose in the very near future.

WOMEN TAKING
UP PHARMACY
SEVENTEEN PER CENT OF THE
STUDENTS REGISTERED IN THIS
COURSE ARE FEMALES.

Iowa City, Jan. 3O-Seventee per
cent of the students registered this
year in the college Of pharmacy at the
State University are women and in
another year, according to Prof r. A.
kuever the proportion will be even
greater, for no field offers greater
Opportunities for wide awake Ameri
can women to serve their country than
pharmacy.
THE demand for skilled pharml,
cists." he points out, has never been
so great the salaries have never been
SO large, and the number of available
pharmacists has never been so small
as at present-three reasons why
more women should and will enter
this field. 1t is a work for which
women are admirably fitted. 1t does
not require hard manual labor; it is
clean. pleasant work, which any scien-
tifically trained woman can do and en-
JOY doing.
Calls for registered pharmacists are
constantly being received which can
not be filled because many young mon
in this profession have entered some
branch of the service. Our profess
sional colleges feel the loss of the
young men who have responded 50
promptly to their country's call, but
their places are bound to be filled by
women who realize in this their oppor-
tzanity for service"
