Where Bugs Hibernate.


The bureau of entomology offers the
following information: The chinch
bugs spend the winter In clumps Of
bunch grass and under dead leaves
and rubbish. In the spring they
emerge and fly to fields of young
wheat. where they lay their eggs on
the root tops and stems. When the
wheat commences to ripen and dry,
the young bugs leave the wheat fields

BOSTON, April IA boycott on the

oped Yesterday in the Meeting House Hill
section of Dorchester, and is expected to
spread to other parts of Boston Execu-
tive Councillor Lewis Il. Sullivan, one OF
the leaders of the movement, IN speaking
of the boycott, said:
1--WE hope it will spread throughout the
state. If the authorities cannot stop
this plundering and gouging of the people
by food profiteers in this land of plenty.
then the people can, by doing without
those things on which the unreasonable
profits are being made. Potatoes cost
from 90 cents to $l.l5 peck. There's no
reason for it, Let the people stop buying
them for a while and watch the prices
tumble.
THE confectioners are to blame for
much of the sugar shortage. ! have heard
that an inspection of the federal income
tax returns would show they have made
greater surplus profits, proportionately
than the men in any other line of busi-
ness in the state. They charge all they
can obtain-all they can get away with
they have gone into Cuba and obtained
control of a large quantity of sugar.

Let them try it for a while and let then

Mr.. Ault dwelt at length on the
absolute need Of daily newspapers

necessary to the proper education
Of workers and thee public. The

press of the country was too prone
TO distort and misstate facts if
privately owned.
He said there were three papers
in the state owned and partly
owned By Iabor-The Union Rec
ord, owned by organized labor; A
Yakima daily and controlled by the
farmers, and the Bellingham
Journal, partly owned by organized
workers. Mr.. Ault enlightened his
audience on the difficulties in the
way OF conducting a daily and said
it was the Records intention to
set aside a page of that paper for
the use OF each Of the smaller
towns adjacent to Seattle as soon
as its equipment became large

applauded.
