17-YEAR LOCUSTS. TO
ARRIVE THIS YEAR
[Continued from First page.1


erty applied only to members of the
grasshopper family, and while 1t has
seventeen-year period, it also has
thirteen-year period. 1t has been
so long miscalled by the name OF To-
Gust however, that there is no hope
of diverting 1t OF that incorrect ap-
pellation, and in the regions where
there is the longer period of recur-
renee, 1t will continue to be known
as the "17-year iccust," and in the
areas OF the shorter recurrence Pc
riod. as the "13-year locust" The
scientifically accepted name of peri
odical cicada, therefore, is the only
one that exactly fits.
The statement that this is the
most interesting insect in the world
will hardly be questioned anywhere,
and 1t is the most interesting be-
cause 1t is the most anomalous. or
possibly, because it has always ap-
peared to be so mysterious. The fact
that it appears in countless numbers
one year, then is not see riagain for
half the average life time of human
beings and then suddenly appears
again In countless numbers, has ikept
the popular mind mystified and has
woven many superstitions about the
cicada. When 1t, is known that the
insect spends the thirteen or seven
teen years in slow development be-
meath the ground and emerges at
almost exactly the same spot where
1t entered the ground thirteen or
seventeen years before-then the
mystery disappears but the interest,
If anything is intensified. One Of the
querest things in nature is that in
spite of such extremely slow growth
in their subterranean habitat all the
millions of individuals attain matur-
ity and burst from the ground at al
most the same moment.
Appearance ForctOld Accurately
Every locust year" lis, in some
sort year of fear and dread. 1t ap-
pears to have been SO with the saw
ages and has remained so with their
civilized successors. notwithstand-
ing the fact that the cicada has been
under investigation for we'll over 200
years, and the appearance of the
swarms are foretold by entomologists
as accurately as eclipses of the moon
are foretold by astronomers. People
have fancied that they could detect
in the cry of the cicanda a resem-
blance to the name OF the monarch,
Paraoh, that prosecuted the Israel
ties, and that occult belief or fear
added to the somewhat dolorous
sound has served to make the cry of
the oicada generally an unwelcome
one. Very long ago some superstition
attached to the dark bars of the
hlmy wings. These bars are always

lnasmuch as the coming 1919
brood of locusts may be one of the
largest on record, it is particularly
important to allay excessive fear of
destruction to timber as well as to
have people on guard. so that the
few preventive measures possible
may be applied. The belief that the
1919 brood will be exceptionally
large is based on the fact that the

The year 1919 is likely to be
one of the worst Locust years
on record. But entomologists of
tho United States Department OF
Agriculture see nothing alarming
in the prospect. ~.
The periodical cicada. the zeal

called locust" will appear this
year In the following states: Ala

Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Caro-
lima, Tennessee, Vermont, Vir-

The injury done by the peri
odical cicada consists almost
wholly in chiseling groves in the
branches of trees for depositing
eggs. This injury always appears
to be greater than it actually is.
Popular alarm is usually out of
proportion to general damage.

Captain Lumb Thanks
Scouts For Aid

Dear MFR. Virgin:
am writing TO tell YOU that
was very much impressed with
the splendid work performed by
the Boy Scouts in seating the
hundreds of people who occupied
the grandStand during the inau-
gural ceremonies.
1 have seen many large crowds
OF people, but never saw them
handled with greater courtesy
and expedition than was display
cd by your splendid Scouts on
the occasion of the Inaugural
ton of Governor William C.
Sproul.
Again, in the evening, their
presence at the Governors recep-
tion and their conduct under
trying hours of standing duty, in
my opinion, entities them to the
highest praise.
It Is to be regretted that many
more boys of Scout age arc not
active and interested i'm this
splendid work which gives them
opportunities for such honors
as they won at Governor Sprouts
inauguration.
With kind personal regards,
Very singerly,

ed the size of the consume's dollar

price has advanced at least one-half

Granulated sugar remains about
the same price to-day as Twelve
months ago. The price ranged from
8 to 10 cents then and these a:e the
figures prevailing to-day in hrris-
burg. although most cities eport
hgures somewhat in excess ofAhese.
Beans Are Lower u
Lard is selling at a slightly bwer
figure to-day than it did in mid
January, 1918, the figures of the

The pure article has dropped alfull
four cents, but the compound GODS
is selling at the same figure. But
this drop is rather inconsequerrial
as compared with the years exIhn-
ditures for other staples.
Figures of grocers show that
beans are averaging from two to six
cents lower this year. The gray bean
shows drop of from twelve to tn
cents and the navy mean has drdb-

eral rise in labor and food costs
The smallest rise is reported in Mil

an increase of ninety per cent,

spectacular escensions in the fooG
meet. This article has rise on ar
average of from six to ten cents pei

months. The rise dates from De-

1t to the manipulation of the mar
kets by Brazilian exporters and to
the resumption of trade with Eu-
rope.
Prices generally will remain high

ly report. While there have been
some few slight reductions since the
of the war, they have
been quite inconsiderable and only
affect a few of the staples furnishing
a small portion of the general bill
of-fare. lust now the shipments of
food overseas is probably greater
than at any time during the war,
and not until these are considerably
and a resultingly larger per-
centage of the enormous American
