COMMISSIONERS LET
VAULT CONTRACTS

Froid Tribune: We understand that
the Roosevelt county commissioners
have already awarded contracts for
the construction of vaults to be used
by the county official of this county.
The Poplar Standard uses this fact
as an argument against moving the
county seat from its present location
at Mondak.

all aidrOmes during the war.

journey.

Rockaway Beach is a forsaken spot
on big sand bar that projects from
Long Island out into the mouth Of
New York harbor. on it during the
past six months has been built huge
camp. There are workshops, barracks
a gas making plant, q power house.
wireless towers, Alree big hangers for
the planes and a shed as rO0my as
Carnegie Hall for the "blimps."
The base is REACHED by a three-mlle
government road/built across the sand
dunes.
One Of the planes was being taken
out for a trial towed by a tractor when
] reached the spot. Two officers and
three mechanics were aboard. The -
ton seaplane fully loaded, was resting
on a wheeled cradle and was quickly
hauled to the shipway and launched
into the bay.
With a roar like an express train in
a tunnel the four Liberty motors
started up and In less than 20 seconds
the ship was sailing through the air.
Once well aloft one Of these huge
planes looks no more impressive as to
size than on ordinary twO-seater. There
is nothing TO compare 10 with.
They are apparently as steady as
the Leviathan. At the turns the IS
tons OF wings, steel and, machinery
careen as gracefully as a flsh hawk

No chances are. being taken by The
navy. Secretary Daniels has issued
strict orders that no navy seaplane

made of the method by which the
sound is produced. Only the male CT
cada sings. Sound is produced by two
drums situated one on either side of
the abdomen. These drumssare made
to vibrate by powerful muscles within
the abdomen and the tone is modified
by smaller disks and by the elevation
and depression of the abdomen. Dur
ing the singing the abdomen Is usually
inflated apparently with air and ele-
waited. The abdomen gradually is low
cred until it finally touches the tree
and the song ceases.

trees and this is but temporary, the
American Forestry Association points
out; but to young trees the result Of
the ~iocusts' visit may be fatal. The
only precaution which Is urged, there
fore, Is that planting of young trees
and orchards and pruning be deferred
until the danger Is past. There are
other methods OF control which may
be followed. As soon as the cicada
energies from the ground it looks
around for some plant or tree to climb,
and so on any young trees 1t will be a
comparatively simple matter to shake
or pick the young insects off every day.
This should be done early in the
morning or late in the evening when
they are somewhat torpid and slug
gish. II repeated each day they will
be within reach and can easily be
gathered and destroyed. Some other
amelioratlve measures are sprays at
the time of emergence, whitewashing
OF trees at the beginning of the laying
period and wrapping young fruit trees
with light cotton cloth, this cloth being
wrapped around trees to within a few
of the top. In orchards which
be fenced pigs are turned loose

build chimneys or mounds of earth
above the ground some weeks prior to
their emergence. These chimneys or
towers may range from a mere rim of
earth to q chimney six or eight inches
in height When the pupae have final
ly reached that stage in their growth
when they are ready to change to the
adult, they leave their holes and rapid
ly ascend some elevated object, such
as weeds. bushes, tree tops or fences.
Most of the emergence cur between
nine o'clock and midnight and within
an hour of their emergence the skin
begins to split and the old pupal shell
is cast off and left attached to the bark
or object upon which the transforma-
ton takes place.
The adult Immediately after the last
molt is creamy white and soft in tex
ture. In the course of the. night this
skin hardens and the insect

wings at first are soft, but during the
night they become expanded and by

to be the longest lived of all insects.
1t spends approximately seventeen

ties. IN a s~ubterTanean life~in the larval
Of nymphal stage. Then millions of
individuals attain maturity almost at
the same moment and emerge for a
noisy and strenuous existence above
ground, terminating in exhaustion and
death after about Ave weeks. The egg
from which this insect matches is de-
posted In a slit in the young twigs

or shrub or even herbaceous plant
may be selected for this purpose, but a
decided preference seems to be shown
for oak, chestnut and hickory among
the forest trees, and peach and apple

the reason for the unprecedented In
vasion. While this years infestation
will be exceptionally large 1t Is not
believed II will be as great as that OF

Of agriculture has long kept close
track of all the broods of both families
and so Is able to tell with accuracy
when and over what territory any
brood will appear.
Originally 1t was supposed that they
came only in seventeen-year cycles ana
IL created considerable confusion until
It was finally discovered that there was
a thirteen as well Is a sev~enteen-year
variety of the cicada. This Interest,"
ing fact was brought to light as long
ago as 1s45 by a DR.. d. L. Phares, OF
Woodville, Miss. There are thirty
broods in all.
A Long History
To show how long they have been
studying the cicada, 1t Is interesting to
note that they have the records OF
Brood 10-now on the way-ever since

OF any brood, the whole or portions OF

and south to the Mississippi River at
