CATCH INSECTS BY SUCTION
Method Of Sharing Vineyard Pest 10
BEING Uoed In State Of sa
California.

Some of the worst enemies of the
crops are moths. AS moths, they are
harmless, but the. caterpillars Matched
from their eggs are wholesale Destroy
ers.
Every housewife Is lamentably IA
miliar with the disgusting worm so
commonly found in the ears Of sweet
corn that she buys for her table. Few
ears seem to escape its attack, while
many, are half devoured.
!. This filthy creature is the offspring
Of a. moth that flies only in the night
time,f says the Kansas City Star. Often
present in countless numbers in the
cornfields, it fits about, laying its eggs,
one here and another there, on the
silks OF the corn. The caterpillars.
as soon as Matched, find their way to
the growing ears. creep into them, and
begin to deyour the grain.s5 3
Various schemes have been tried for
trapping the moths. Pans Of sweeten-
ed water poisoned with cyanide aOf
potassium have been scattered abRut
in the field, to attract them. La1afs,
to draw them have been hung oter
receptacles containing Kerosene, SO
that the fumes might suffocate them.
These and other contrivances have
captured many moths; but, for some
unexplained reason. nearly all Of them
were males. So what was the use?
The "browntail" caterpillar for some
years has been causing great deal Of
trouble in Massachusetts, chiefly by
scattering its poisonous hairs, which
float about in the air, get into peoples
clothing and engender, q horrid rash.
Persons have been made very sick by
them and one man died.
In this case, likewise, the parent
moths are night fliers, and efforts have
been made to trap them by hanging arc
lights over vessels Of kerosene. Here
again, however, those captured were
nearly all males.
The worst enemy Of the grape grow
ers in California is minute insect
called the thunder fly" because it ap-
pears in greatest numbers in hot and
sultry weather when thunderstorms
are frequent. A man out there, has
invented a suction apparatus, with
ten-horse power blower, that is placed
on wheels and driven through the vine
yards, harvesting the pests from the
vines as it goes along. It is said to-
work very successfully.
An even more remarkable cOntriv-
ance is used in Germany to capture
wholesale the "nunmoths" that devas-
tate the forests. 1t is provided with
two powerful searchlights that draw
the moths from miles away (the ap-
paratus being placed on top Of build
ing), and they are further attracted
by "A PAL: of arc lamps on either side
of suction ventilator. An electric
motor causes the fans of the ventila-
tor to, revolve rapidly, thereby pro-
ducing an intake of air that swallows
every moth approaching within a few
feet. Through the ventilator they pass
into wire net cage A single ma
chine Of this kind has been known to
catch 100 pounds Of moths night.

Situation In Crawford County
Z TIP to this time Fuel Administrator
]. II. Patterson has not received word
from any section of Crawford county
that people were actually suffering from
the want of coal. He is keeping close
touch with the situation and endeavor-
ing to distribute Dle coal equitably so
there will be no suffering.
Large quantities of wood is making
it's way into Denison this week and
there seems to be a ready market for it.
Green wood burned with small amount
OF coal gives excellent results.
There are some business houses in
Derlison that send their help out In the
country one day each week to cut wood.
This is hauled to town with trucks and
keeps the business houses warm.
The men of the Methodist Episcopal
church will, on Friday of this week,
have wood chopping bee to provide
fuel for their church for special serv.
ices to be held Sunday. They have
been invited to go to, the Ranniger farm
east of town where they will cut wood
in the grove. The ladies' of the church
will prepare hot dinner at the Ran
niger home for the wood choppers.

Building Of New Jail
Must Be Made Issue
For People to Vote On

Police Commissioner Ringers
plan to build a new police station
this year went to the scrap heap
in the face of an opinion from the
city legal department, read to the
city council yesterday, which states
that the law forbids appropriation
of the necessary money without a
vote of the people.
Mr.. Ringer held that 100000 of
bonds could be issued by the city
council without the peoples vote.
Eight architects put in large
amount of work and submitted bids
on four different propositions in re-
gard to the Jail Many other bids
were received for plumbing, electric
lighting fixtures, etc.
These are all wasted in face of
the fact that there is no money
available and, by the time it could
be made available, prices may have
risen so much that present bids
will be worthless.
"Mr. Ringer just wants to build
the Jail as monument to himself,
said one citizen.
believe me, he'll have more
monument than he wants before
he's through" said another.

Mayor Smith yesterday preached a
plan to city commissioners to at

living in Omaha.
The mayor proposes to establish
markets at various places through
out the city where the necessities Of
life will be sold to the people at
cost.
He plans to Use the old South

houses for this purpose.

SECOND WOMAN
IS ATTACKED BY
MALE INTRUDER
Miss Peterson Knocked In.
concious by Assai|ant Who
Enters Room at Early
Morning Hour.

Miss Marie Peterson, II years old,
a stenographer in the offices Of the
Drake Construction company, was
knocked unconscious by an uniden-
titled assailant who climbed into
her bedroom yesterday and at
tempted to crirninally assault her.
She screamed. He struck her. He
jumped through a window and es-
capped.
The attempted assault occurred at
Miss Peterson's home, 2424 South
Twentieth avenue, at 5 yesterday
morning.
Aroused by Screams.
The girls parents were aroused
by her screams They rushed into
her room in time to see the mans
figure leap through the window.
They could not discern his color.
The girl does not know whether
he was white or black.
The parents found the girl un-
conscious. She was lying across
the bed with her head dangling.
Fifteen minutes elapsed before her
senses were restored. A police
surgeon revived her. She is con-
fined to her bed as a result of the
attack.
Miss Peterson says she was
awakened to find man bending
over her.
when I screamed the first time"
she said, "he put his hand over my
mouth"
Says "1've Got You"
"I've got you now! he said, and
then | tore his hand away and
screamed again. Then he struck
me. That's the last I remember
until I woke tip and found the doc
tor with me-"
Near Miss Peterson's temple is
a black and blue welt, slightly
abraded as if the hand that struck
her wore a ring.
The attempted assault on the
Peterson girl is the second in 4S
hours in Omaha and vicinity.
Omaha and Council Bluffs police
are securing the surrounding terri
tory for a man who criminally as

lot of unused space which can be
put to excellent use for this pur.
pose.
Aid Labor Crisis.
Something must be done to stop
this enormous sky-rocketing of the
price of food. The statement of w.
G. Lee, president of the Trainmen's
union in Washington Thursday was
sensible. If the cost of living is
reduced the laboring men will not
be all the time seeking higher
wages.
IF we establish number of these
markets throughout the city they
will act as a regulator of the gro
Gerry stores. If the stores know that
people can So to the municipal mar
kets and buy things cheaper they
will be more careful not to boost
their prices too high.
Everything will be handled in the
most economical manner. We will
sell only in quantities-a bushel of
potatoes, a side of bacon, a whole
ham. We won't keep fresh meats
and vegetables, because we haven't
the refrigeration facilities. And we
can't cut meats because that would
require the services of skilled men. !"
The mayor was urged to action in
this matter partly by letter he re-
ceived few days ago from an enl-
ploye of one of the large fruit COM
mission houses, who stated that the
wholesale fruit men regulate the
supply of fruit in Omaha so that
prices will be kept up. He charged
that large quantities of fruit are al
lowed to- spoil in the RS in the
local yards, SO that high prices may
be secured for the fruit that is
placed on the market.
Favored BY Commissioners.
Mayor Smith was asked about the
legality of establishing the markets.
II don't know for sure about
that" he said. But at this time |
don't think we need to look too
closely at the strict letter of the
law. We are confronted with a
state of affairs that demands action.
We have the money. We can buy
the goods in large quantities and
sell them again in few days. 1t
merely amounts to turning over the
city's own money in the interest OF
the people" :,
Commits IRE exp pressed
himself as in favor of the project.
Il am in favor of anything that
will bring down the cost of living
to the people of Omaha" he said:
1--WE will have to look into the legal
aspect of the case. But we ought
to get action just as quickly as pos
sible."
Commissioner Butler declared
himself heartily in favor Of the may
or's scheme.
Mayor Smith will prepare his
proposition in the form of a reso-
luton which he will present to the
city council at the committee of the
whole meeting next Monday.

Last year | gave you SIS for the

as fortunate as | am in having plenty
of pure milk and ice; and l almost
forgot it this year. ! want to do this
every year and to compliment you

Ann Edwards is a baby herself,

Ann. You are practicing the Golden
Rule we'll.
These are FEARFUL DAYS for
