TERRIBLE DISEASE SPREADING;
A TIMELY WARNING TO BOYS
AND GIRLS AND TO PARENTS

l am writing this letter to remind
you that the great screen feature dra-
ma, 1.-THE Spreading Evil" which is be-
ing Justly termed "the photoplay SEN
sation of the hour" will be the attrac-
ton at the Pastime Monday, Novem-
Der II. This startling social problem
play has created more discussion than
any other picture in years not even
excepting Damaged Goods" Given
its premier showing at Keith's Million
Dollapr Theater, Washington, d. c., 1t
drew the comment and endorsement of
Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the
Navy, who said: 1.-THE Spreading Evil
is powerful portrayal of an evil to
whose ravages the Public must be
awakened" julius Kahn, Father of
the Draft BILL" in his letter of en-
dorsement said 81 wish The Spread
ing Evil could be seen by all the boys
and girls in our High Schools, and
kindred institutions of learning. Par
ents all too often neglect to advise
their offspring about the dangers that
Turk in their paths. The pitiful
story Of Lennon, the artists model,
is one calculated to linger long in
memory. trust you will avail your
self of the opportunity of witnessing
this intensely dramatic and interesting
photoplay. Very respectfully,
CHAS. TRIEBEL.

which is Matched a maggot slightly
smaller than the egg. This trans
forms into pupa that appears like a
fiaXseed and is so called. From the
fiaxseed the adult fly energies.
The fly usually deposits its eggs in
grooves on the underside Of the leaves
OF wheat The larva, shortly after
Matching. makes its way down the
leaf and behind the sheath, continuing
in young wheat to the roots OF the
plant In older wheat 1t is able TO go
only to the joint below. Larve are
frequently so numerous as to be
packed one against another and over
tapping. Two generations year are
produced. Over-wintering Is accom-
plshed in the fiaxseed stage.
The Hessian fly feeds chiefly on the
wheat plant. and in a smaller measure
on barley and rye. The oat plant is
immune. The effect is that II infes-
tation begins while the wheat is
and becomes a mere mass of over
grown leaves. II infestation comes
after jointing has begun, the straws
break over and the wheat falls before
harvest.
The distribution OF the pest includes
north Africa, western Asia. all OF con-
tinental Europe. the British Isles,
New Zealand and portions Of the Uni
ted States and Canada In the United
States its range extends from the
Canadian border as far south as
northern Georgia and west to west :
ern Kansas and the middle OF the
Dakotas. 1t includes also a narrow
strip Of the Pacific coast. from Puget
Sound to a point half way down the
l California coast.

leads TO the belief that the Hessian
fly has begun gradually to increase.
The percentage of infestation, accord
Ing to count, showed n distinct in
crease over that of last year. The
principal controlling parasites are ap-
parently absent or very scarce, par
ticularly in the Middle West. An
other outbreak OF the pest is expected.
perhaps within the next few months.
Among insect crop pests in the
United States the Hessian fly stands
first in evil reputation and possible
ties. In bad years, hundreds OF thou
sands OF acres of wheat may be to-
tally destroyed or the yield reduced
as much as 70 per cent. by this
parasite.
The Hessian fly is not a native of
America, and nobody knows Just
whence 1t came or how. 1t was first
noticed in 1873 on Long Island
In the vicinity OF the place where
Lord Howe's army. largely of Hes
sian mercenaries. had camped three
years before. The popular belief was
that the Hessians had brought the
insect over in the straw used by them
as bedding on board ship. Thus came
the name, and that guess is as good
as any as to how the fly got here
All that cap be authoritatively said is
that II arrived from some transat-
lantic country some time after the
middle of the eighteenth century.
