the periodical cicada. Literally, he
abides always "under his own vine
and a tree"
The tree from which any individual
cicada dropped as a newly Matched
larva II years ago is the exact tree
under which he will most likely
crawl to cast his papal 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
ance there he spends his days and
dieis.
Every crop suffers from the raw
ages of the real locust Only trees
suffer at all from the 17-year locust,
and only very young fruit and orna-
mental trees are likely to be severely
| injured. Methods of preventing or
minimizing this loss have been worked
out and published by the department
of agriculture.
The insect itself can accomplish
comparatively little damage, but fear
of the insect may accomplish a great
deal, particularly if it is based upon
a confusion of the cicada-locust with
the grasshopper-locust Men, believ-
ing that the grasshoppers are to eat
up their crops this spring, might re-
frain from planting certain things. 1t
is important, therefore, that the con-
fusion be cleared up, that it be def
nitely understood by everybody that
"the 17-year locust in 1919" means
the periodical cicada and not grass
hoppers.

SUGGESTIONS OF
VALUE TO MOTORISTS
UNITED STATES TIRE CO. TELLS
HOW TO PULL OUT WHEN
CAR is STALLED IN MUD.

A resourceful motorist whose car
has been stuck in the mud does not
always have to fall back on a pair of
mules to get free. For such an emer-
gency the United States Tire Com
pany offers some suggestions that
have proved valuable.
The first calls for having stored
away somewhere in the car a
stack of old newspapers. When the
car gets stuck and the wheels refuse
to take hold feed in some of the old
papers between the tires and the
mud. Usually only a few will have
to be worked in before the wheels
will begin to grip and the car start
forward. This method of handling a
difficult situation is so simple and SO
uniformly successful that every mo-
torist should know of it and carry
a pile of old newspapers, unless he
Is equipped with some other appara-
tus for such a contingency.
Here is the other method suggest
ed by the United States Tire Com.
pany: Put the car in low, and if you
cannot feed the gas with your foot
evenly, so that the wheels will re-
volve slowly, put your emergency
brake on. Do not put it on so that
the wheels will not revolve at all
but tightly enough to keep them from
revolving rapidly, With the wheels

REPORTED THAT HENRY FORD
HAS SOLD AUTOMOBILE STOCK

Wall Street Hears That General Mo-
tors Company Has Acquired His
Holdings in Ford Corporation.
NEW YORK, N. Y.-The Henry
Ford holdings in the Ford Motor Cor
poration have been acquired or are
about to pass to the General Motors
Corporation, according to what was
believed to be authentic information
in high financial circles here tonight.
The amount of money involved was
not known in Wall street. 1t was
said in well-informed circles that it
will total many millions.
Control of the Ford Motor Corpor-
alton would make the General Mo-
tors Corporation the biggest facto
in the automobile business in the
world. This corporation already man
ufactures the Cadillac, the Oldsmo-
bile. the Scripps Booth, the Buick
and many other well-known and pop
ular motor cars.
Verisimiliture was lent to the
statement that the sale of the Ford
holdings in the Ford Motor Corpora
ton had passed to the General Mo-
tor Corporation when it became
known that w. C. Durant, president
of the latter corporation. was in De-
troit.

hole with stones or bricks, for their
rough edges are hard on tires. Small
branches of trees are better, as they
offer much better tractive space.
Should this method fail quite often
a slight push that would not much
more than move baby buggy will
furnish just the added amount of
power necessary to get the car going.
