Now comes the lamb clubs an idea that originated two years ago in Yazoo coun- ty, and where girls as well as boys have made good money from small flocks of sheep.

This applies to all garden insects,
for none of them are there with an
honest purpose, says the National War
Garden commission in a bulletin. If
you discover that one or more hills
of your canteloupes are infested with
plant lice, the only thing to do is to
pull the plants up and carry them Off
and burn them. But in doing so you
should put them in n tight receptacle
of some kind so that none of the lice
drop off and get on other plants for
they will multiply rapidly and you will
have part of your fight over again.
AS for squash bugs il they begin to
suck sap until their skins burst, spray
the canteloupe vines with nicotine sui
phate, soap and water Old squash
bugs can be trapped under pieces of
board placed near the plants. They
will hide at night under these boards
and may be killed in the morning.

They did not swear when they were

BELONGS TO THE PREHISTORIC
City That at One Time Had Many In

A lost city of 10000 homes has been
found in a great canyon barely 40
miles from the city of Santa Fe, n. M.
1t Is reputed to be the first known
city Of the Cochiti tribes of Pueblo In
dians OF the Southwest. The place is
called Rito de los Frijoles or Tyu-on-
vi, and is one of the worlds wonders.
Here, in little caves in the sides
of gigantic cliffs, dwelt the pre-
historic cliff dwellers of America In
communal dwellings. that We're al
most Immune from attack by either
man or the giant beasts of the stone
age.
The valley is about - miles long
and about half mile wide, with the
sheer walls of the cliff towering per-
pendicularly for thousands OF feet. For
some distance they are red or brown
ish in color, and then in places they
are dazzling white Almost the en-
tire surface is honeycombed with thou
sands of volcanic blowholes, that once
upon a time belched forth sulphur
fumes and steam Of the earth's core.
The people used these holes as doors
to their homes, and enlarged the inte-
riors to suit their families. Some
built three-story buildings in front Of
the caves, but little remains Of these
feats of masonry.
