a good many farmers in Somerset
county are complaining of the dam
age being done to their crops by a
dark slate-eolored beetle about one
fourth of an inch long. This in
sect seems to be especially fond of
the leaves of potatoes, beans and
beets and works very rapidly. The
state entomologists have informed
County Agent Storer of the Somerset
County Farm Bureau that these bee
ties can be killed by the Paris green
solution, used to eradicate potato bugs
it is questionable If it is advantageous
to destroy them. as the larvae of this
insect feeds on grasshopper' eggs
and it appears that if there are none
of these eggs, the beetles will not
propagate, but if the beetles are pois-
oned there is danger Of a plague of
grasshoppers which are incompara-
bly, injurious both to the crops and
the hay field.

Every Flower
 Has a Story
 Of It's O. W II
THE LOTUS

The lotus flower signifies estrangled love in the flower language
 The Hindus considered it the tree of life and worshipped it. The Egyptians regarded it as being under the special protection of the gods and dedicated it to Osiris. When approaching a place of worship the ancient Egyptians all ways carried three of these flowers in their hands, and offerings of them were made to pacify the gods.
 The Lotus Eaters
 The magic food which the. tus-eat- CTS. ate, and which caused them to for get everything, it is said, was made from the seed of the Indian species. A story is told of Ulysses. who sent three chosen men to explore the island. They were met by the natives and offered some of the food which made them forget and refuse to leave the happy country. Their leader had them brought back forcibly, and immediate ly left the island.
 Died of a Broken Heart
 According to mythology, this flower owes it's name to beautiful nymph called Lotus, who died of a broken heart because Hercules did not return her affection. Hebe took pity upon her and changed her into the flower. Later, Hercules took with him on his voyages a youth HyIas, whom he loved as a son. He was sent out in search of a spring when they landed at the Hellspont and. when he found one, 1t

 I'd like to say few things about home making, Martha said, just to show the men how women can com bine domestic and political topics They really do belong together, of course. for government is obviously devised for the protection of the homes"
 What will you tell the men through the women2"
 I'm going to say that home -makins is a. business which deals with mater ial things, and therefore an estimate of its value can be set down in dol lars and cents It may be economical or extravagant, reckoned so.
