BUGS PESTER LIFE OUT
OF PLANTS IN GARDENS
Got any potato bugs?

WI any pOtdlO pu6o'
Got any grapes that are being
handled roughly by the aphis?
Many people say they have and as
the result there is big sale of the
old sovereign remedies, Paris Green
for the bug and a nicotine solution
for the aphis or little green bug that
likes to sap the life out of the plant
and the aphis brings a horde of ants
who like to sap the milk from the
aphis of "ant cow"
What the ant does to the aphis is
nothing that bothers the chap with
the grape vines. What he wants to
do is something to the pest that puts
the grape leaf black and unsightly in
o few days. They are now at work.
Are the potato bugs thick? Ask
the druggist. He says they're thick
er than ever before and he is regis
tering his knowledge by the demands
for his remedies and by his gossip
with the buyers of the bug remedy.
A damp spring is fine thing for
all pests of this character. They
thrive and more bugs than a man
could get out of his garden in a
week show up in an hour. At that
however the gardens have not been
bothered as much in this way as they
have in the past.

Card OF THANKS

To the friends who came to us in
our hour of trouble, and contributed
all that human kindness could sug-
gest to help and comfort, we return
most heartfelt thanks, and although
such devoted friendship cannot re-
move the sad memories that linger
around our vacant chair, it brings,
into view the brightest side of hu-
manity, and throws the pure light of
an unselfish friendship into the
darkened home. May the day be far
distant when those friends who gath
cred around us will need similar at
tention, but when the time comes.
may they receive the same full meas
ure of generous aid and tender SYM
pathy they brought to our home
when death was an inmate there. Es-
pecially to the soldier boys and the
singers do we extend our sincere
thanks.

If there is anything wrong with your sight, you

have pondered the question to where you would
go for them. This is important matter to decide.
If your eyes are skillfully examined and lenses
properly ground for them you will experience the hoped
for relief If, the contrary you get misit your
eyes will be in worse condition than before.

the poison Of these reptiles; but we do not
know why and we wish We could find out.
The bill Of indictment against them is
this:
1. The poisonous ones are mighty bad to
come into contact with.
2. All serpents produce in most Of US
the most unpleasant of sensations.
8. They catch birds and eat them, par
ticularly song birds. AS against this the
defense offers in evidence that our domes-
tic cats kill and devour more than all the
snakes do and are not a fraction as useful.
Therefore, If this point is sufficient to sign
the death warrant Of the serpent, it ought
doubly to sign that of the cat.
T. They rob birds nest, eating the eggs,
particularly Of species that nest on the
ground. Snakes can, and do, to some ex-
tent, climb up trees and rob nests that are
low down. At the same time snake ex-
posing himself while robbing a nest, is like
Iy to be seized by hawk-so that nature
nicely balances matters.
5. The snake is carrier of at least two
fatal diseases. II is subject to cancer.
Cancer, however, can only be ingermed in
humans by eating the snake that has it
and humans do not eat snakes. 1t con-
tracts the jungle fever, piroplasmosis, from
ticks to which it is not immune. II seems
to be immune to ticks that exist in the
localities where it lives. But if we do not
handle the snakes we do not get the ticks
OF our many species of harmless snakes
not one can make an effective bite larger
than pin prick. This is because the harm
less types have teeth set solid in the
sockets. adapted for selling and swallow
ing. Poisonous snakes, on the contrary,
have movable fangs in front Of their solid
set teeth, with which they can make ugly
gashing, slashing bites. OF all our harm
less snakes the adders. which 1atten out
their heads, hiss and comfort themselves
menacingly, are the greatest buffers. Also
they are among the most shocking to
touch.
Here are our harmless snakes: We
have one boa on the Pacific coast. We have
eleven species Of striped, or gartersnakes,
the females Of some Of which produce as
many as seYenty-fve young alive. All are
affeetioRate and in confinement love to be
petted. They are the very last species to
go into Winter sleep remaining in the open
