NO DANGER FROM LOCUST
SAYS GOVERNMENT.

In reply to a letter written to
the u. S. Department of Agricul.
ture. Washington, d. c., relat-
ives to the Locust, which have
made their appearance in Jack
son county, the following reply
has been received:
Dear Sir:
Your letter of June Ia, ad-
dressed to the u. S. Department
of Agriculture. has been referred
to this office for attention.
wish to thank you for re-
porting the occurrence of Brood
XIX of the l3-year race of the
periodical Cicada (Tibican septen-
decia Linn. in Jackson County,
Tennessee.
In response to your inquiry, |
would state that this insect and
its eggs are absolutely harmless
to human beings.
For your information, | am en-
closing a copy of Circular No.
126 of the Office of the Secreta-
ry, entitled The '17-Year Lo-
Gust in 1919"
Yours very truly,
E, R. Sasscer
Collaboration.
The following relative to the
Locust is taken from the above
mentioned circular.
mo doubt the cicada will as
usual be greeted as harbinger
of disaster, and as usual, there
will be reports of deaths caused
by stings of the cicada. a belief
that has presisted in spite of
positive proof that the cicada
has no sting, that only by the
EXTREMIST accident could it in
flict a wound either with bill or
ovipositor, and that it could not
in any case. inject poison.

Say the writer Of Sugar creek,
| will ask you to send a copy of
your letters to the two sisters of
Coalinga, CAL, so they can save

news from other parts of the
county too.

LOOKING FOR HERO TO
 GIVE HIM A MEDAL

MULLAN, Idaho, Aug. 19 (by Asso- ciated Press) Jacob Lelmarck, a miner, is wanted here by c. l.. Her rick, manager of the Gold Hunter Mining Company of this place, who wishes to pin a medal on him. When two men were entombed last year in the Gold Hunter mine, Delmarck and other miners worked day and night, regardless of tl.eir own danger, to rescue the i'm! "isoned men. Then another cave-in occurred and Del mark and another miner, James Col lins, were caught. It was nearly 24 hours before they were rescued, and during most of that time they were buried to their waists in muck.
 The two men have been awarded medals by the United States bureau of mines, but long ago Delmarck shouldered his blankets and went off to some other camp, as miners do.
