The attack upon the white woman
at Capitol Heights was the seventh at

The spring housekeeping Is finally
completed by washing and polishing
fixtures and furnishings that require
this treatment. Here are few hints
and recipes that will be found useful !:
Electric Powder.
Used for polishing gold and silver
plated ware, German silver, brass, cop
per, glass, tin, steel, or any material
where brilliant luster Is required. To
four pounds of the best quality Of
whiting add one-half pound cream Of
tartar and three ounces of calcined
magnesia. Mix thoroughly together.
Use the polish dry with a piece of
channels skin or. canton flannel pre-
viously moistened with alcohol, and
finish with dry polish. A few mo-
ments' rubbing will develop a surpris-
Ing iuster, different from the polish
produced by any other substance
Silver Powder.
Nitrate If silver and common salt
each 80 grains. Cream of tartar three
and one-half drains; pulverize finely,
UneQualed for polishing copper and
plated goods.
Knives not in daily use should be
well polished and buried in box Of
sawdust until required for use.
Britannia ware should be washed
with a wooden cloth and sweet OIL,
then washed in water and suds and
rubbed with soft leather and whiting.
Frightening Brass.
To clean lacquered brass wash it
gently In lukewarm water, rub with
cloth dipped in equal parts Of vinegar

results have justified the rapidly in
creasing acreage.
The United States must not only in
crease sugar production for domestic
needs, but must ship an increased
quantity to the allies. Every effort
should be made this year to stimulate
production of substitutes for sugar. In
localities where sweet clover is grow
Ing abundantly, city, county, and rail
way officials are asked to cooperate
with beekeepers and see that all we'll
known nectar-producing plants, and es-
pecially sweet clover, are not cut until
after the blooming period. This plan
was practiced in ut least one locality
last year with gratifying results, and
1t Is hoped that all sweet clover grow
ing within a mile of colonies of bees
will be permitted to stand until after
the blooming period this year.
Sweet clover not only produces an
abundant flow of nectar over a long
period but does not begin to bloom un-
I'll the white clover and alslke clover
nectar flowing Is nearly over, thus
supplying an abundance of nectar
when few nectar-producing plants are
In bloom. Owners of bees are advised
to make every effort to bring the i'm
portance Of sweet clover to the atten-
tion of officials I'm charge of moving
plants In vacant lots; along roadsides,
and along the rights-of-way of rail.

the juices of plants, sucked out In very
small quantities and without causing
appreciate injury to plants.
So far as periOdicity of outbreaks Is
concerned, the real locust or grass
hopper is a law unto itself. The hordes
may appear any years or not at all.
Tie hordes of the '17-year locust" or
periodical cicada appear with regu-
larity that would almost put to shame
a government clock. In spite of their
extremely slow development under
ground, the multiplied millions of In
dividuals reach maturity and emerge
almost ut the same moment and ex-
actly II years from the date Of the
previous appearance-that is, If they
are of the 17-year race. There is 13-
year race of the periodical cicada. But
it is just as regular, just as exactly on
schedule, as the other one.
Real Locust a Nomad.
The real locust is q sort of nomadic
militant. Its hordes, like those of Atil-
la the Hun or of Genghis Khan, sweep
hither and yon, always on the move,
destroying as they go. The so-called
17-year locust or cicada Is a home
body. Stevenson's lovable character,
"Will o. the MILL" did not stick so
closely to his birthplace as does the
periodical cicada. Literally, he abides
always under his own vine and fig
tree" The tree from which any in
dividual cicada dropped as a. newly
Matched larva IL years ago is the ex-
act tree under which he will emerge
this spring, up which he will most
likely crawl to cast his pupal skin, and
in which he will meet his mate and
sing his love song, In which he will
pass his days Of decrepitude, and from
which, in a few weeks, his dead body
will fall, almost upon the spot where
he-as a larva-fell II years before
and burrowed into the ground. Where
the periodical cicada came into exist
ence, there he spends his days and
dies.
Injury by Insects.
Every crop suffers from the ravages
of the real locust. Only trees suffer
at all from the 17-year locust, and
only very young fruit and ornamental
trees are likely to be severely injured
Methods of preventing or minimizing
this loss have been worked out and
published by the United States depart
ment Of agriculture.
The insect itself can accomplish
comparatively little damage, but fear
of the insect may accomplish great
deal, particularly If 1t Is based upon
confusion of the cicada-locust with
the grasshopper-locust. Men, believing
that the grasshoppers are to eat up
their crops this spring, might refrain
from planting certain things. 1t Is
important. therefore, that the confu-
sion be cleared up, that 1t be definitely
understood by everybody that "the II
year locust in 1919" means the periodi-
cal cicada and not hordes Of grass
hoppers.
The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1919-05-15

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
This Is q ''locust year." and the
usual popular fear and misapprehen-
sion attend.
People In that large part of the
United States over which the periodi-
cal cicada will appear are disposed,
as always, to apprehend greater dam
age than will occur-many times
greater. OF the remainder of the
United States, large sections are under
another misrepresentation, which is that
the insect about to appear Is the real
locust that sometimes comes In dew
astating hordes, sweeping across
large sections of country and devour-
ing every green thing. The latter mis-
apprehension Is, perhaps, the more
widespread and disquieting, according
to entomologists of the United States
department of agriculture. People who
have had experience with the real To-
Gust and the ruin Ii works never forget,
and the word locust" even though
1t be a misnomer, is likely to be
signal for dread.
Now, the periodical cicada, COM
monty called the 17-year locust-the
insect that will appear In 81 states
this spring-is not locust at all. II
is cicada, member of the family of
cicadidae and akin TO the dog-day
cicada, harvest fly, or dry-weather fly.
The real locust-the devastating kind
lis grasshopper.
The periodical cicada, miscalled To-
Gust, Is strictly an American insect.
The real locust, commonly called grass
hopper, occurs In many parts Of the
world and has had Its place In history
for thousands of years. There are
many species. The schistocerca pere-
grina is the one that plagued the Egyp-
tians and probably the one on which
John the Baptist fed. The one that
has sometimes ravaged the great plains
and other sections of the United States
is the melanoplus spretus, a related
species.
Have Little In Common.
The real locust or grasshopper and
the so-called locust or periodical cicada
have very little in communicating,
in fact except that both occur In large
numbers and both occasionally have
been used as human food, the former
mostly by certain peoples of the near
East and the latter by the American
Indians.
The real locust is an indiscriminate
eater, grain fields, corn fields, mead
Ows, pastures, weed patches-every-
thing falls before him. The periodical
cicada or so-called locust is dainty al
most beyond belief. 1t was long be-
lieved that this insect in the adult
stage took no nourishment at oil. On
rare occasions 1t had been observed
with it's beak apparently thrust into
twigs, but it was not until IL years
ago, the last previous appearance Of
the large brood that comes out this
year, that ii was definitely determined
that this belief was erroneous. The
."17-year locust" does eat while in the
adult stage, but its diet is confined TO

and lemon juice and then polish with
dry leather.
Old hot-water bags, split open and
cut into circular pieces, are excellent
mats for house plants.
To Prevent Candles From Dripping.
Candle light is one of the prettiest
decorations we have, but they often
make such a mess one hesitates to use
them. You may avoid all this. If you
freeze the candles before using, they
will never run, and burn twice as
long.
Candles hardened by being kept In
the refrigerator, or cool place, Will
burn longer than others. Keep the
wick 'snuffed," as did our grandmoth-
ers; when you blow candle out blow
up, instead of over the light, and the
candle will not gutter, but burn even
iy next time. Church or wake candles
cost more, but are made of harder ma
terial and last longer.
For candle economy, shape q cork
to fit the candlestick, then drive
through the center shap nall, bring
ing the pointed end out on top. Place
the end of the candle on the point OF
the nail, and you will be able to burn
all candle ends down to the very last.
Loose Casters.
If annoyed by casters dropping out
of any article of furniture, try soaking
large corks In water to make them
pliable, then pounding them into the
socket. Make small hole In center
of cork and drive the caster in 1t. If
the cork is large enough to fill the
socket you will have no further tron

FARMERS AND UNIONS

The public has watched with keen interest the efforts of labor union "~bosses" to secure an alliance with the farmers of the country on a similar bases as that which binds .uther unions one to another. Still more keenly will they observe the actions of the unions and farmers which has been called for December 18th.
 The Farmers National Congress held at Hagerstown, Md, short time ago, while not openly opposing or sganized labor, adopted resolutions srondemning the short work-day and the eyer increasing wages demanded by industrial labor. Again at the annual conference of the national Rranges held in Detroit few days ago, the farmers stood solidly for their Independence from unions of .sau kinds, only small number from the extreme western states voicing anfavorable opinion.
 When 1t is known that those en- gagged in agricultural pursuits num- Der about B per cent and that the aotal value of farm property is about .one-fourth our national wealth, we might we'll pause and consider what effect an organized union of farmers would mean to the country if they followed the example set by indus trial unions. Here we would have an economic force that could domin- aate all others if properly directed and with unionism only cloak to cover Bolshevism, the results would be any- sfAing but that desired. .......
