Use "Hvpo for the Chiggers

''Hypo" the cheap and common
chemical mixture used in developing
photographs, is one of the best pre-
ventives and eradicants of chiggers
says DR.. H. B. Hungerford, profes-
sor of entomology at the university
of Kansas. AS an entomogist and
a farmer, DR.. Hungerford is continu-
ally in Chigger territory. He has
found that sponge bath of ''hypo"
will keep chiggers off. The ''hypO" is
allowed to dry on the skin and is not
wiped off. Or, if the chiggers already
have landed, "hypo" helps alleviate
the attack.
It is only the young and foolish
chigger that ever gets on a human
being according to DR.. Hungerford.
The grown up chiggers have more
sense. Nature intended the chigger
baby ch1gger who has only six legs
and has not attained to the eight legs
and good sense of Immature chigger,
grabs onto almost any host. If he
gets on a grasshopper or any hard
bodied insect, only his head pene-
trates in his burrowing for food, and
he eats, thrives and attains to eight
legs and his majority. But when he
gets onto a human being the digging
is so soft that the silly young chigger
digs in so far he can't dig out. He
commits suicide right there in his
greedy burrowing for food. This in
formation may be of some satisfac-
ton to the possessor of lot Of CHG
ger bumps. Each bump is the grave
of young chigger who didn't follow
MS parents example.
4 chigger is about the size of an
animated pin point. Shake grass
known to harbor chiggers, over
white paper and the faint, red dots
that appear on the paper viii be the
chiggers. "Hypo" is sodium thiosul-
phate and can be obtained at any
drug store.

Shippers Cooperation Urged

The following statement was
authorized today by the Regional
Directors office, Southern Region.
Uuited States Railroad Admins.
trationS:
Another shortage of freight
cars is in prospect for the com.
ing fall and winter. Instead of
the surplus Of equipment to be
found on nearly all railroads dur.
ing the dull days before the after
the-war business revival set in,
every piece of equipment now is
in use on many lines and only the
most careful handling by the
railroads with consistent and
whole hearted corporation from
from the shipping public can pre-
vent serious interference with
business.
"Federal managers have been
called upon by the Railroad Ad-
ministration to utilize equipment
to the fullest possible extent, and
particularly to see that cars are
set IN motion promptly upon be-
ing loaded or unloaded.
"Shippers are asked to lend a
hand both by. reducing detention
OF cars to a minimum and care
full and heavy loading so that the
greatest possible service may be
had from each car. From a pure
ly selfish business standpoint, of
course, it is to the interest of the
individual shipper and receiver
of freight to do his part toward
minimizing the effects of car
shortage from which he will suffer
along with the public generally"

A Little Homemade
Philosophizing.

Since business has been
rather dull for the past few
weeks strange things have
been revolving in our minds,
and this is the big question
that has been uppermost in
our thoughts: "Where do
you, dear reader, spend
your money!"
Is it with the firm that
you would go to should you
need financial aid; the firm
that you would go to to help
build your neighborhood
church; the firm that pays
taxes and licenses in your
parish, thereby helping to
swell the revenues of the
parish devoted to good roads,
new school houses and the
education of your children?
We are not selfish enough
to think that we are the only
firm that pays its full share
Of the parish revenues, but
we believe that we pay our
share and do our part in the
upbuilding Of the country,
and we ask those who never
thought Of the question:
"Where Do You Spend
Your Money?"t to take these
thoughts into consideration,
and we believe that you will
do more trading with your
local firms.
Buy Where You Can Sell
and
Sell Where You Can Buy.

(By Independent News Bureau, form

Aboard President Wilson's Special
Train-A continuous ovation along the
Pacific coast and then on his eastward
way back toward the capital was given
to President Wilson as he came
toward the end Of his month daylong
speaking tour in behalf of the League
OF Nations. California, particularly
the delightful city of Los Angeles, went
wild in its enthusiasm for him and his
advocacy of the League, and it was
in that state, perhaps, that he did his
most successful missionary work.
Hiram Johnson, CALIFORNIA; former
governor, now her United States sena-
tor, and considered by her as the most
likely Republican candidate for the
presidency in 1920, had before the ar
rival Of President Wilson, convinced
a great number Of citizens that the
League as at present formulated was
not good thing. He had told them
that the United States, because Of it,
would be drawn into every petty
European quarrel; he argued that we
would lose our sovereignty by joining
with the European nations. He had
blamed the president for asserting to
the possession by Japan Of the PENN
sula of Shan Tung in China.
