of wintering is of interest. When full
grown the larvae work their way into
the ground to a depth ranging from
q quarter Of an inch to an inch and a
quarter. In the spring the worms APP
pear, work their havoc and, after a
brief while, re-enter the earth. They
remain in the cocoon state for several
weeks, at the conclusion Of which they
emerge as moths, which, in their turn,
lay eggs and start again the evolu-
tional life of the army worm. In the
period of it's active career the army
eradicate the pest it is essential to kill
the parent moths as well as to destroy
the worms themselves.
Luckily, the army worm has some
natural enemies, and among these the
sparrow is probably the most effective
because of it's numbers. The bluejay
comes next, and then follow the tachina
fly and a certain variety of beetle
These foes will not suffice to keep the
army worm within bounds when their
name is legion, and it is needful then
to resort to man-made expedients.
Trenching the fields, generous use
of kerosene and ample spreading of
arsenical powders will aid in a crisis,
but clean cultural methods will do
much more toward eradicating the
alternating or slumbering pests. This
is to say, keep the edges of the fields
and the hedges of the gardens free
from long grass and weeds, where the
larvae Turk; fall blowing will kill
ground for wintering. OF course these
efforts will not avail if the parent
moths come from the South in the
springtime. We cannot expect to de-
tect the eggs and to destroy them be-
fore the worms are Matched out.
Just when the spindles of the world
are preparing to resume their prewar
activities, just when SO many of the
nations are anxious to obtain more cot
ton fabrics, comes the unwelcome news
that the cotton boil weevil is up and
doing with increased energy. Again
we have the past mild winter to thank
in large part for this disturbing state
of affairs, a very considerable per-
centage of the alternating weevils
having survived when with colder
weather they would have been in great
measure exterminated.
The experts tell us that the boil
weevil in single year may occasion
cotton loss of more than 100000
bales, and at prewar prices this would
represent a money sacrifice of quite
S25. 100000. Today, at the present
price OF cotton, the toll levied by these
insects would be equivalent to fully
S70OO0,000. No wonder the United
States department of agriculture has
pronounced the boil weevil to be the
worst cotton pest in this country and.
probably, the most destructive cotton
insect in the world. This ravaging
creature apparently will not feed upon
any other plant--it just insists upon
eating the precious cotton boil.
Like many others of the conspicu-
ously injurious insects present in this
country. the cotton boil weevil is not
native of the United States. Its
place of origin, so the entomologists

Pool of Water Served
as the First Mirror

Brushes were probably invented
much later than the comb. But the
mirror, the one toilet article without
which woman could not exist, must
date from a very early period. Per-
haps a clear pool allowed curious
woman a first view of her face though
we must not say that she is the only
vain creature to exist, for a certain
gentleman named Narcissus gazed at
his reflection in the still water, ana
gazing, fell so in love with his beauty
that he pinned away and died.

Loss of Pitcher Toney
May Mean Loss of Flag
to the Cincinnati Reds

After all is said and done, the re-
lease of Fred Toney by the Reds looms
up as the worst error committed by
the Cincinnati club in the last five
seasons. Getting Pat Moran was q
stroke of wisdom which has already
brought rich rewards-but releasing

Limit Use of Word "Airship."

To settle linguistic difficulties which
have arisen with the development of
aeronautics the air service has official
ly decided to use the word "airship"
only to designate dirigible balloons
and other Iighter-than-air types of
craft. All heavier-than-air craft will
be designated as ''airplanes."

Prospects of a row between the

keen exception to the credit which the

securing harvest hands and aiding in

HORSE THIEVES HERE
Organized Gang Working in Kansas,
According to Reports.

Kansas is being invaded by an or
ganized gang of horse thieves, accord
ing to a report received by the at
torney generals office today from
Clyde Allphin, county attorney of Bar
ton county. Allphin asserts that the
organization invaded Kansas, Missouri,
Oklahoma and Arkansas from the
north and has stolen thousands of dol
lars of live stock in this state. He
asked for state and county aid in pro-
tecting owners of horses and mules
Recently a $500 span of mules was
stolen from a farmer near Great Bend.
The farmer was compelled to pay the
expenses of a search for his animals in
Barton and Reno counties. Allphin
asked Judge S. NJ. Hawkes., assistant
attorney general, if the law would per-
NIT the county to al prove warrants
for the expense of hunting horse
thieves. The law, however. does not
provide for such expense except in
cases where warrants have been issued
and placed in the hands of the sheriff.
A number of counties in central and
western Kansas have been invaded
Allphin states. He declared that
farmers of Barton county were
aroused and that the reception which
would be extended horse and mule
thieves. once they were caught, would
be neither tender nor affectionate.

Most of the acceptances were said to
be in sums ranging from $4,000 to
$4,000.

thousand times since that 1 had, for
1 certainly paid dearly for neglecting
them, later on. My stomach got in
such bad shape that I could hardly

with gas and having pains that almost
took my breath away. Then the
rheumatism, which I had been having
now and then for several years, start

couldn't rest at night and my knees
hurt me so bad that I would have
to sit around for days at a time and

results. The business men of the city

ed, one of a permanent character.
AS roughly outlined, the building
will cost $150.000 exclusive of equip

will also be additional. The total cost
would be approximately $225,000, it
is estimated.
