"And Now Its The Fly"

It's just one durn thing after

a few short weeks ago, even yet in
many instances, the greatest pest
in the world couldn't fy-but it
could jump. Now comes the fly.
Memories of the home town news

conjured up by the posters of Di-
ision Surgeons office which are
appearing as Health Bulletin No.

here. The advance party has actu-
ally been seen. It's not rumor,"
says the bulletin.
But it doesn't seem as if there
should be such hue and cry about
the fly. He may tickle bald head
now and then but he is considerate
enough to stay OUTSIDE of ones

He limped into the office of large
manufacturing concern the other day.
His right leg had been amputated at
the knee; his face was scanned and
drawn with much suffering, but a
cheerful expectant smile greeted the
employment manager as the disabled
veteran entered the room.
After making the wounded hero
comfortable in a leather arm chair,
the employment manager asked show

1t happened in the Toul sector, the
soldier replied, and 1T was nine

the hospital with this artificial leg.
But while lying on the hospital cot,

were not going to down me. I would

He got the job, and right now is the

This example is only one of hum
dreds that might be cited to illustrate
how soldiers, disabled in battle, have
been SO reconstructed physically and
vocationally, that instead of being
charges upon the community, they are
really useful members of society, cap

themselves.
The wounded men are given individ-

ther should become warmer.
C. A. McCue, professor of horticul-
ture at the Delaware College, says
that while there are ether varieties
of this periodical pest, the seventeen
year kind is the only one likely to put
in an appearance in Delaware. At its
last visitation, it is said that not a
great deal Of damage was done in this
section, but the ravages Of the insect
were pretty severe in Cecil and other
counties in Maryland, adjoining this
State.
There is no way of combating the
appearance of the locust, but the dam
age it inflicts may be minimized by
careful spraying of orchards with Bor-
deauX mixture. This whitens the
branches of the trees, and it is said
that the female will not deposit it's
eggs on white surface. AS another
precaution, orchardists are advised
to go slow about pruning, it being
thought best to wait until after the
locust has made it's visit and the lar
vas have developed and dropped back
to the earth to burrow in for another
seventeen-year siesta, and to do the
pruning in the coming autumn when
those branches that have been dam
aged by the locust may be removed
at that time with other dead branches.
Another precaution recommended
by agricultural and horticultural ex-
perts is the wrapping of young trees
in tobacco saturated cotton cloth.

WEDNESDAY,, DECEMBER 8, 1919 REINSTATEMENT OF INSURANCE

A series of decisions issued by the director of the bureau of war risk in- surance, with the approval of the sec retary of the treasury, provides more liberal conditions for reinstatement of lapsed or cancelled insurance.
 The provisions of treasury decision No. 47, allowing eighteen months from the date of discharge for reinstate- ment, upon payment of only two months premiums on the amount of insurance to be reinstated, are re- tained That decision is liberalized, however, by new provision that men out of the service are permitted to reinstate by merely paying the two months premiums without making a statement as to health at any time within three calendar months follow ing the month of discharge.
 After the three months following the date of discharge have elapsed. a statement from the applicant to the effect that he is in as good health as at the date of discharge, or at the ex- piration of the grace period, whichever is the later date, will be required, to- gether with a written application for reinstatement and the tender of the two months premiums on the amount of insurance which he wishes to re- iustate.
 In order to give all former service men whose insurance has lapsed or been cancelled fair chance to rein state their insurance, including men who have been out of the service eighteen months or more, and who are therefore barred from rein8tate- ment under the former ruling, spe- cial blanket ruling is made which al lows all eX-service men to reinstate their insurance before December 31, 1919, provided that each applicant is in as good health as at date of dis charge or at expiration of the grace period, whichever is the later date, and so states in his application. Of course it is necessary that he tender the two months premiums on the amount of insurance he wishes to re- instate.
 Service men who reinstated their in surance by payment of all back pre- miums prior to July 25, 1919, when the decision requiring payment of only two months premiums went into effect, upon written application to the bureau may have any premiums paid in excess of the two applied toward the payment of future premiums. For example. if after a policy had lapsed for six months a man reinstated and paid six months premiums instead of two, he may secure credit for four months premiums.
 The provisions for reinstatement do not protect a man until he actually re- instates. If he waits he may not be in as good health as he was at the time of discharge, and consequently may not be able to secure reinstate- ment.
 Don't put off reinstatement. Do it now!

TRANSPORT TO BRING
 HOME WILSON GIFTS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

PARIS, Jan. 19.--President and Mrs. Wilson came to Paris with a very mod est collection of trunks and personal baggage, but they probably will be forced to take home a carload. Both Mir and Mrs. Wilson have received so many gifts in the course of their stay in Paris and their visit to England and Italy, that a large quantity of them probably will have to be taken to Washington on an army transport.
 Gifts of all kinds and of all values began pouring i'll the day President Wilson arrived, and they still are coming in never ending stream. They come from all classes of people.
 Many of the presents are priceless, but the president values most those having a sentimental appeal. These have come principally from children, not only in France but from all over Europ, and also from families in en- tente countries which have suffered by the war.
 every one should be formally acknowl- edged. Sometimes in response to a particularly touching ,Aessage, accom- panying the gifts, he writes a personal acknowledgement,b but the pressure on his time is so great that he cannot do so for all. Nevertheless, every gift, no matter how insignificant, is carefully preserved. Many of them undoubtedly will find places in the White House, because the president does not feel that they were given to him wholly per Sonally.
