LOCUSTS DUE HERE
BY THE END OF MAY

The seyenteen-year loeusts will be
with us-maybe a billion OF them
the last week in May.
Washington is in the very center
Of an area to be infested by the in
sects. according to = statement By
the Department Of Agriculture. Ths
Government is able to foretell the
date OF their appearance as accurate
ly as scientists forecast the return
OF q planet.
Millions Of the remarkable insects
viii be found on the trees in wash
ington's parks and in the Virginia
and Maryland counties adjoining the
National Capital. They viii cause
great damage to trees, especially
fruit-bearing trees and the Depart
ment Of Agriculture has advised
against the planting OF young or
chards this year in the sections where
the locusts win prevail.
To Emerge After II Years.
For seventeen years the Iocusts
have been moving and living beneath
the ground in darkness and Cold and
gloom. During the last week Of May
they will come forth from the
ground, grow wings apd enjoy q few
weeks Of gay life in the light OF day.
The area in which the insects are to
appear this year comprises territory
stretching from the eastern end OF
Long Island westward and south to
the Mississippi river.
In addition to the seventeen-year
brood, . thirteen-year brood OF the
locusts will appear this year. The
latter will appear entirely in the
South.
Out At Sunset.
The insect chooses a time near
sunset to come out Of the ground.
Then it will be ready to fly bright
and early next morning. It will
climb up a tree and shake itself free
Of the old, brown skin that has COW
cred II in the ground.
Small, white, useless wings appear
as soon as the skin is gone. Within
. short time these wings grow
strong and the locust will live fVs
weeks in the open air. The female
lays her eggs in grooves in trees.
This kills the trees. Then she dies.

The marriage of Miss Tommie House
of Lexington, daughter of T. h. House
of Nicholasville, to Lewis E. Christie,
of New York, was the happy climax
of a charming romance. Early in
the autumn of 1917, Mr. Christie was
passing thru Lexington aboard a
local Red Cross was. at the Union
Station. Mr.. Christie took from the
fair hand of Miss House sandwich
and package of cigarettes. One brief
and blissful half hour the train lin
gered, then sped on its way to the
great Southern camp. Eighteen
months lapsed; meanwhile the SOL
.dier went to France, his charmer re
turned to her post with the U. S.
Weather Bureau in the Fayette Ma
tiopal Bank Building. His heart was
left in the Bluegrass, her beautiful
face he carried with him. Letters
were exchanged with as great regular
ity and frequency as the mails per-
mitted. A month ago he landed in
America, and Immediately following
his discharge, he fastened back to the
Bluegrass capital. Mrs. Preston
White, sister to Miss House, accom-
panied them to Nicholasville where
under the parental roof they were
united in marriage by Rev. j. E.
Moss, pastor of the Methodist church.
Mr. and Mrs. Chrisie left at once for

CARRARD WAREHOUSE
GOING UP FAST
Local Contractors VIII Handle
Brick Work On Lancaster
Building.

Those Lancaster tobacco warehouse
promoters are pushing things in fine
shape for their big new warehouses,
and are going to make one of the
most modern and commodious in the
hurley section, if reports from there
are so.
The contract for the immense
amount of brick work on the ware
house has been secured by a Rich
mond firm, Messrs. Bingham & Stone.
That they will do the work to a
queens taste is assured Both are
experts in their line of work. They
are at present engaged in putting the
finishing touches on the brick work
for the Daily Registers new home,
and as soon as it is completed, they
go to Lancaster with their equipment
and men to start big job there.
The Lancaster promoters are to be
congratulated that such splendid and
reliable workmen have been secured,
TO handle this portion of their con:
struction work. The Lancaster Record
this week said of the work on the
warehouse:
Work on the Garrard Tobacco
Warehouse is progressing rapidly
and from the amount of labor being
employed one would think Lancaster
is building cantonment that would
accommodate several regiments of
soldiers. The directors and officers
of the company are seeing to it that
every cent put into the building is.
well spent and the company will get
value received. The railroad switch.
which will prove of great value to the
house, was completed several weeks
ago and al the material used in the
construction Of the building is being
handled from the switch direct. The
excavation of the basement has about
been completed, which will accommo-
date several hundred horses. Four
prizing houses will be built alongside
the railroad and under the same roof
of the main building.
To give some idea of the size Of
this building, we will state that it will
take seven hundred squares of roof
ing to cover it. This roofing has
been purchased and is the best that
can be bought. Contracts to the
amount of $50, 900 have already been
let out; $4,000 of this amount goes
for the steel work alone. Mr.. j. C.
Miller, of Lebanon has contracted to
do the work and furnish the material
except the roofing and the steel, his
contract is for $38, 900. The foundation
for the entire building will be COM
pleted by the last of the week. Moth
fng will be left undone to make it
one Of the best, if not the very best
loose leaf house in the state of Ken
lucky.
