No shaft Of wit-no outcropping of fun

In fact it is League of Nations which is now repre-

to establish the peace recently won by arms to
correct the wrongs which led the war to prescribe
punishmens for offending nations and individuals and
thus to safeguard against future aggression
The plan for League of Nations contempates nothing
but the permanency and the extension of association
already addressing itself to existing problems.
Progress in all such matters if it is to continue must
be gradual and perhaps painful Segovernings nations

them will true husbandmen safeguard and profit by
the increase.
Aside from those who welded to the old doctrine
of carnage, opposition League Nations pro-
ceeded chiefly from who profess that national
energy would be weakened thereby and that even if the
thing admittedly desirable, the world is not yet
ready for it. The mighty task in hand at Paris is a
striking reutation of all these msgvings When shall
the earth ever witness its like again?
War has already weakened national energy almost to

Belief that the 1919 brood will be

fact that the seventeen-year brood
coming out this year is brood ten, per-
haps the largest of the seventeen-year
brood, and that brood eighteen of the
thirteen-year family comes out at the
same time. The year 1868 was the
greatest locust year in history, when
brood nineteen, the largest of the
thirteen-year family, appeared in con-
junction with brood ten of the seven
teen-year family. ,.,.
There will be three regions OF great
est occurrence of brood ten, one cover
ling New Jersey, Maryland and eastern
Pennsylvania: another covering all OF
Indiana, the greater part of Ohio and

While brood ten will affect twenty
states, brood eighteen win appear in
only five states-Alabama, Georgia,

those states

DEADLY LOCUST
IS AGAIN DUE
DURING YEAR

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Great
swarms of the seventeen-year locust
will infest the United States in late
May and early June this year. which
is expected by scientists to be one of
the worst locust years" on record.
Experts of the department of agri-
culture, however, see nothing alarm
ing in the prospect.
Once regarded superstitiously as a
harbinger of disaster, the periodical
cicada, popularity known as the seven
teen-year locust because it comes at
long intervals, is seen now to be more
than an ordinary non-poisonous insect
pest, which can do little damage If
proper precautions are taken. The
chief injury inflicted by the insect
consists almost wholly in chiseling
grooves in the branches of trees for
depositing eggs. Young fruit trees
sometimes are killed. but the damage
generally seems greater than it actu-
ally is, according to the entomologists,
and popular alarm Is out of proportion
to the real danger.
Suggested precautionary measures
are:
Defer putting out young fruit trees
until next year; postpone budding OPP
erations; do no pruning this spring.
When the insects begin coming out.
hand pick them from young trees or
spray with pyrethrum powder, kero-
sene emulsions, or solution of car
bolic acid or acetfc acrd. ~
Later when the insects are ready
to begin laying, spray young fruit
trees with wlritewash.
The department of agriculture has
kept close check for many years of all
the broods of locusts and can forecast
accurately when and where the pests
will appear. Large regions win be af-
fected this year where one brood APP
peared seventeen years ago. and In
other regions which suffered thirteen
years ago, the states including Ala

RUSSIA TAKES TO BATHS

Already Russia's dictatorship of
the proletariat" is leading to class dis
tinctions We have long been of the
opinion that soon there would be an
aristocracy among the Bolshevlkl and
we find our most sinister suspicious
confirmed.
The BolsAeviki are beginning to
take baths. If that departure from
every tradition of the Russian prole-
tariat we're all we should not rise our
voice in Mortified protest. We would
be glad to see the proletarians take a
bath-rather we would be glad that
they had surrendered to this refining
influence.
We hate to see the proletarians
turning to aristocracy in the use of
water. But there is no doubt about
the new aristocracy created by Lon
inc and Trotzky. An authoritative
dispatch tells us that bathing is now
regulated by the state. Some persons,
evidently influential proletarians who
can demand and enforce special privil
eyes, will be allowed to take two
baths a month. Others will enjoy
this strange, thrilling experience only
once month. And others will not be
allowed to bathc at all.
That is the sad part of it all. The
common people will not be allowed to
battle at all They will still be fet-
tered in the old serfdom of uncleanli-
ness. Saturday night will come and
go but no baths for the downtrodden.
For thousand years the poor mou-
jiks have been struggling toward the
bathroom to take liberty plunge
and here they are stopped at the very
threshold. gE: .ts.}s iI~ ~.
Of course, there would be grave
dangers if all were permitted to battle.
The rivers proba bly, would be raised
above flood levels and great disasters
might occur. Then, too, close rela-
tives would not recognize one another
and would pass by in cruel silence.
Children would be all mixed up be-
cause parents would not recognize
their own.
Nevertheless we lift our hmegaphone
and cry aloud for true democracy. It
is quite evident that new degree Of
aristocracy even above that of two
baths month is to be created. Soon
we shall have the once week aristo-
Gratis who will battle every Saturday
night just as the car used to do.
Perhaps they will even shave off their
whiskers
+ Down with Lenine and Trotzky and
their clan aristocrats. .tA
