PEAR AND CHERRY PEST
Insect Attacks Leaves and Eats Upper
Surface Tissues

Burlington, June pa rather un-
common and serious pest OF pear and
cherry. trees is prevalent this year.
The creature is a soft bodied, smooth
skinned black and shiny insect larg-
er at one end than the other. 1t is
biting insect and eats the upper
surface tissues from the leaf, leaving
the bare framework A number of in
stances where these insects are pre-
valent have been reported to Prof Nj.
B. Cummings, horticultural specialist
for the agricultural extension service
of the University of Vermont. and 1t
appears that the pest is quite abun-
dant this year This note is issued
as a warming to people who have
pear and cherry trees to inspect them
and if the pest is found remedial
measures should be taken at once.
Since there is a good set of pears
this year, it is important that the
foliage be retained in good condi-
ton
When only few slugs are present
the easiest method is to dust the
trees with fresh Stacked lime. 1t is
we'll to make this application early
in the morning when the foliage is
moist with, dew so as to retain the
mixture for some time. One or two
applications should prove sufficient if
the lime adheres well. Where the
insect is prevalent in large numbers
the use of arsenics, such as arsenate
flead at the rate of four pounds to
one hundred gallons of water applied
when the foliage is dry, will destroy
the creature promptly.

Rome, July 1.-Critical comment on
President Wilson's European soiourn

the editorial says an immense halo

now he leaves amidst almost general
indifference, appearing as an intru-

Washington, July 1.-The whole
nation awoke today to realization
OF prohibition. Only those who
stocked up for long drouthe or who
could find solace in the 2A brew were
allowed to carry out the time honored
custom of starting the day with a
bracer. Wartime prohibition, banning
for the time being all distilled liquors
and leaving in a cloud of doubt the
future of beer, was effective at mid
night. The exemption of beer came
as the result of an eleventh hour an
nouncement by the Department of
Justice.

Washington, June 30.-The war
time prohibition law of Nov. 21, 1918,
went into effect at midnight tonight.
The strong arm of the United States
Government is prepared to enforce it.
The Department of Justice will have
exclusive Jurisdiction over the enfor-
cement of the act. The Bureau OF
Internal Revenue of the Treasury
Department will not be responsible
for enforcement. but all internal rev.
enue officers have been instructed by
Internal Revenue Commissioner Roper
to cooperate with the Department OF
Justice to the fullest possible extent.
The position OF the Department of
Justice was set forth in a formal
statement by Attorney General Pal
mer tonight, in which he leaves no
doubt of his purpose to have the COM
plete machinery Of his department
utilized In enforcing wartime prohib-
ion.
The Attorney Generals statement
did not say distinctly that prosecut-
ions would be made for sale OF beer
containing more than one-half Of l
per cent. of alcohol, but it was pointed
out by high official at the Depart
ment that it also does not say dis
tinctly that there will be NIB prose
cutions and arrests for such sales.
But, the clear inference was permitted
to be drawn at the Department OF
Justice that when complaint is made
that sale of beer containing more
than one-half of per cent of alcohol
has violated the law that the Depart
ment will act.

Washington, June 30-The majority
report on the wartime and national
prohibition enforcement bill, present
ed to the House today by Represent
atlye Volstead, Chairman of the
Judiciary committee, strongly opposes
the lifting of the ban on wartime
prohibition ,contending that demobil-
ization will not have ended until the
army has been reduced to 175,000 men
the size of the peace army as form
erly fixed by law.
Mr. Voistead, in the report, argues
that Congress has the power to deter-
mine what is an intoxicant and cites
many parallel examples where Con-
gress has defined terms, such as I'm
comes" insurance" and bankrupt"
He further contends that the Consti-
tuition merely provided for Congress
to establish post Offices and post
roads," but Congress, he argues, went
so far as to provide for the carrying
of the mails and made it crime
for an individual to carry mails.
The report expresses the opinion
that an intoxicant has, always been
considered and defined by Federal
statutes as beverage containing
more than one-half of l per cent of
alcohol, and that thirty States, follow
ing this precedent, have passed laws
defining an intoxicant in the same
terms.

Discovery of Rich Ore Made
On Holdings Managed by J.
A. Czizek,, Boise Operator

A new bonanza in Idaho
county,
A l6-inch vein of pure gold
was discovered Tuesday in the
Unity mine at Warren.
The mining camp is wild with
excitement. 1t is said a rush to
the old Idaho county camp,
which in past years produced
$25, 100000 in gold, may result.
AT 9OO-FooT LEVEL
The discovery of the rich pay streak
was made at the 90O-foot level Of the
mine, which is the property of the
Unity Gold Mines company, of which
j. A. Click Of Boise is manager.
Word from Warren is to the effect
that mine officials declare the discovery
rivals any discovery in the rich Cripple
Creek district of Colorado.
Word of the discovery was wired to
the Free Press Wednesday morning
from Warren. An effort today to es-
tablish telephone communication with
the camp failed. The Meadows Warren
Roosevelt line was down, and the gov
eminent wire from Elk City to Warren
was not in working order all day.
