Destroy the Chinch Bug.

Now is the time to protect the
1919 crop of wheat and corn from,
chinch bugs. Organize your neigh
borhood, school district or commune
ity to fight these despisable friends
OF the Huns. Burn all trash, rubbish,
meadows. and. fence rows as these are
harboring eplaces for the chinch bug,
Don't delay! Get busy and act at
once. By, hunting early you do not
run as much danger Of destroying
fence posts and causing like damage
as to burn later after the grass and
leaves have drifted against the fences.
Let us do our best towards produc-
ing food to feed our armies and
