The American state department
meets the situation in Mexico, caused
by the one-day invasion of $500
American troops, by issuing warnings
to all Americans in Mexico to get out
when they can in order to avoid the
wrath of Villa. 1t would seem that the
power of Villa to create trouble 10
more potent than the power of the
United States to suppress it.
Under the war time prohibition act
the whole country went dry on the

BUGOLOGIST VISITOR.

a. Y. burrill. an entomoligist con.
hected with the U. 8. department OF
agriculture, and Walter A. Holt. coun-
asriculturalist, met with severa,
residents OF Oroville last Friday af-
ternoon to take up the matter of com.
Dattlng the mosquito pest. which an
nuaiiy works a great hardship on resi-
dents OF the valley. Mr.. Burrill ia not
mosquito expert. His long suit is
bugs, worms, insects and other pests
that work havoc to cereal and forage
plants. His mission in the county was
10 md ways and means for heading
OH the grasshopper plague that was
threatening to eat the farmers in the
Moison neighborhood out of house and
nome. He was induced to come down
into the valley and investigate the
mosquito situation and offer sugges-
tions as to system to follow to erad-
icate the little trouble maker. Mo-
squitoes are not in his line but he Sc
cured specimens which were sent to
washington to the entomoligist de-
partment to be examined and classi-
lied SO that it could be determined
whether it was necessary to use
strychinine or dynamite in order to
exterminate them. For be it known
that there are about as many brands
or mosquitoes as there are breakfast
FOODS, or automobiles, and the condi-
tions necessary for their breeding.
development and maturity differ in
degree, although their mode of Great
ing misery for the human family is
about the same. The varigated species
their habits, dispositions and devil
ments was discovered during the gov
ernments operations on the Isthmus
or Panama. and as the southern spe-
cies were classified it is now the aim
TO discover the classification of the
Okanogan breed, when conclusions
can be arrived at as to how to eradi-
cate the pest 1t is the genuine hope
OF the residents of this section that the
Okanogan vintage will be one that
the department can advise us how to
handle. for it has become urksome to
build up and accumulate blood during
the winter months for the MOSQUITOES
to tap and carry away in the merry
spring time.

SOMEWHAT ARID.

During a residence of over twenty
wears in northern Okanogan county
we have seen dry years, and have
been called upon to chronicle the fail.
lre OF crops owing to drouth, but
neN er has there been such a success
sion of dry years as has marked the
record of 1917, 1918 and 1919 that is,
during the two months of May and
Juno. Just when growing crops are III
TIE. greatest need of moisture. The, e
are sections Of the county that hardly
come under the head of semi-arid, for
in those sections a full harvest Is a
rare occurrance. But over most Of
the county, above the altitude of the
valley, sufficient rain falls to ias ire
a crop. with the exception Of the oc-
casional dry years. The past three
years have been exceptions to the rule
and drouths have prevailed to sucn
an extent that crops have been almost
a complete failure, even in those local
tiles that heretofore seemed imune
from drouth. Ernest Riste, secretary
of the West Okanogan Valley Irriga-
tion district. has kept tab on the
weather conditions during the past
three years, using the govrniment
meteorological instruments, and that
record is very unpleasant revela-
ton. The rainfall for June, 1917 was
.S3 of an inch. For 1918 80 of an inch
For 1919 only trace. May, for the
two years past was even drier. In
May 1918 the record was .16 of an
inch of rain fall, and in 1919 "a of an
inch. Why this is hardly more than a
heavy dew. and for June, 1919. the
moisture did not reach even the re-
spectibility Of a heavy dew. 1t is not
pleasant duty to record such a con-
dition but facts are stubborn things.

l. 10 the points Of friction between
the English and Americans and the
things which have prevented or inter
fered with English-speakinE friend
ships in the past. John Buchanan. d.
rector Of Information under the prime
minister. gives out the following IN
terview prepared exclusively for the
International News Services
Like most people I believe that the
surest safeguard OF peace and civii-
cation for the future IS a real under
standing between the two great
branches Of the English speaking race
That is a platitude. but IL is none the
less true
various thfnEs-all small things
have kept Britain and America apart
In the past A iaundiced view Of re-
cent history was taught en- our re-
s7ective schools. there was fin Ameri-
ca a steady propaganda carried on by
people anxious 10 prevent an under
standing; the wrong type Of English
man too often went 20 the states and
the wrong type OF Ameri an came here
Most Of these causes either have
been or are being removed. But there
still remains the fact that the two
PEOPLES have different WAYS OF locking
at things. have different tastes in hui
NOR. and iu the past have had widely
different political interests. The
Briton finds his humor In understa--
ing. the American in overstatirg-
Each is a genuine form Of humor and
each is a national pose.
But behind all the surface differ
ences there os q great Intellectual and
moral community between us. We be-
lieve in the same root principles in
conduct. public and private, we have
the same literature. and. except for
the last 200 years. we have the same
history.
You ask me what can be done TO
eliminate possible -oiuts Of friction
between Britain and America The
main thing is TO get the two peoples
10 understand each other by seeing
more OF each other. I believe that the
British and American qualities. so far
rs being autaEouistic. are complement
.ary and that the sum Of the two IS
political wisdom

privilege Of entertaining many Ameri-
IAN visitors and they have been
