HARVEST OF LADyBUGS
 LATEST FROM CALIFORNIA

GRASS VALLEY, Cal, March l. One of the most peculiar harvests iii the world is taking place in the foot hills below here at the present time that of ladybugs. The state of Cali fornia, through it's insectary depart ment, is doing the harvesting, and the crop is estimated at from 6O,0OO,OO0 to 75,0OO,000 bugs.
 The bugs are found under light cover in sunny hooks in only few places in Nevada and Placer counties, They are gathered into cases each holding a quart or about 33,00O bugs and sent to Sacramento for storage un til next summer. During the growing season these bugs are employed by | the state to save the cantaloupe bean and various other crops from enemy insects, it being the nature O. the ladybug to war upon such insects Agents of the insectary departmen watch the ladybugs in their hibernat- ing places during the fall and earl! winter, and at the proper time the har vest is commenced and completed within a few days.

JESUIT MAKES DISCOVERY
 0F GREAT VALUE ID NATION

A discovery which promises to prove a potent factor in the war was announced several days ago at Chi cago in the Loyala university depart ment of medicine.
 It is a combination which produces glycerine, used in the manufacture of high explosives, as well as an apti- septic for wounds.
 shortage of glycerine has been threatened because of huge war de- mands. It's price now is nearly $750 per gallon. By the use of the LOyola formula, the same glycerine can be produced in unlimited quantities for 30 cents per gallon. The formula has been forwarded to the war department as the schools donation to the nation.
 The discovery was made by the Rev. Edward J. Calhoun, s. J., an instruc- tor. He has been working on the combination since this country entered the war.
 The new glycerine is made from a combination of slaked lime and refuse meats and vegetables.

fore any of the registrants in Class 2 are called. Then all of the registrants in Class would be called in the order in which their numbers appear on the order number list, before those in
 Class are called and so on, until Glass 5 is reached which is a perman- ently deferred classification, being equivalent to permanent exemption or discharge.
 "In other words the group of regis
 trants within the jurisdiction of each local board is taken to be the unit to
 be classified. Within each class the order of liability is determined by the drawing, the order number being the distinguishing mark which identifies each registrant for service in the same classification. while those of the low est classifications are called first and those of the higher classifications call ed in the order in which they are reached after all preceding classifica- tions are exhausted"

THEFTS OF AUTOMOBILES
 WORRYING CALIFORNIANS
(By Associated Press)

SAN FRANCISCO, March 1.-Thefts of automobiles and their accessories have become so prevalent that the California State Automobile Associa- ti0n has started a crusade against the criminals in an effort to put a stop to the practice, according to w. D. Watkins, secretary. The association has retained counsel and has engaged special detectives to carry on the war.
 In less than six weeks there was stolen in San Francisco more than $10,000 worth of accessories such as tires, tube rims and covers alone. The same condition of affairs is said to ex- ist throughout the state In one of the smaller cities man was arrested who is said to have confessed to the theft of fifteen automobiles, according to MT Watkins. In many instances these have been taken for the reward confidently expected to be offered, the explanation being that the machine was found abandoned.

CORDOVA IS THE HUB

The cable is working again today, says the Juneau Empire. During the break press news was sent by the Brcmerton radio station to the Cor dova radio station and then from Sitka to Juneau via the cable. Just why it is necessary to send from Bremerton to Cordova and then relay back tC Sitka is not clear, other than the guess that the Cordova station is better sit uated, although the distance to it from Bremeron is much greater than tht distance between Bremerton anC Sitka.

"The little fairy put her wand down

of course you must know just who
the peacocks were, and why they were
in the library. On the library table
was set Of book-racks. At either
end these racks held up whatever
books were put between them, so they
were arranged where people could look
at the names Of the books they wanted
to take out and read. These book
racks were very beautiful. Each one
was made to look like beautiful pea

couldn't wait until the morrow. Mrs.
Bowser read that note, also, and now
she was sure that Mr.. BOwser was to

He was handed both notes, when he
entered the house, and he sat down
and read them, and scratched his head
and muttered:
"Clay; Clay; why, don't know any
man named Clay! John Darius Clay,
is it, and he has got some very import

wants to buy farm"
"And, perhaps, he has got some

ser. "There goes the bell. He has
made a very early CALL"
She went to the front door herself,
expecting to see John Darius Clay
but it was not Mr.. Clay. 1t was the
boy who had delivered the two notes
and he had third one. It was hand

Mr.. Clay would call at seven thirty
