A mans head appeared in the

rang out!
The robber staggered back from

He had fallen-and the shot had

HOROSCOPE

Wednesday, April 20. 1921


This is an uncertain day, accord
ing to astrology. Although Neptune
is in strongly beneticent aspect Mer-
curry is adverse.
1t is a sway under which CONF
merce should benefit and there is
the forecast of exceedingly favorable
treaties that will increase trade.
There is the forecast that states
men will have a clear vision regard
ing international affairs, but there
is a sign making for mistakes in
diplomacy. or at least complications
due to unwise treaties of the past.
This should be a lucky day for
Journeys, especially those that are
made on the water. There will be
much travel across the ocean during
the summer months.
This is not a favorable rule under
which to enter into new partner
ships or TO sign important contracts.
During this sway disappointing
messages are likley to be received
and for this reason 1t is well to have
an optimistic point of view.
Again the seerS p~rognosticate war
and there will be heated discussions
over the navy. the stars seeming to
forecast the need of defense.

Editorials For
Women Folks

The modern girl has changed her
tastes in the selection of low stories.
Miss Anna Hurker, assistant in the
fiction department of the New York
public library. says SO.
They're reading classics now,'
she says. and that's real reason
why good old fashioned affection
cannot die but will continue stronger
than ever under influence of the best
authors"
Miss Hurker points out that de-
mands for sensational books have
declined in favor of literary master
pieces.
THE shop girl of today is the
greatest romanticist,' Miss Hurker
says.
Each day they troop into the Ii
brary for copies of Lorna Doone,'
The Virginians.' "A Tale of Two
Cities AS You Like It. David Cop
perfield,' The Manxman,' Romeo
and Juliet The House of the Seven
This proves that something has
happened to the reading judgment of
our future mothers. 1t speaks well
for the future.
Genuine affection which seeks
guidance from books, and wishes
real and manly devotion. has been
on the increase since the war.
1.-THE reason is psychological.
Love Is seen everywhere. Even
the movies are helping to put 1t on a
higher plane.
This reconstruction of love is on
its way. Proof is abundant, and evil
denced by the turn in tastes-liter-
airy tastes-of the young womanhood
of today.
Let us encourage the reading of
the classics, for in the classics as
the girls are finding out, are love
stories which never grow old. be-
cause they are real and earnest and
have been written from the heart"

CHINCH BUG DAMAGE
CERT AIN next YEAR
UNLESS FOUGHT NOW.

Prediction of chincn bug damage to
crops in Wayne county next year is
made by John T. Davis, Purdue ento-
mologist that the bugs will be present
IT even greater abundance next year
than this" according to Mr.. Bavis, IN
less control methods are adopted now
and burning practiced this winter.
"A survey of Wayne county shows
the chinch bug to be rather generally
distributed, but heavier infestations
occur at widely separated points," says
the statement
Approves Measures.
Approval of measures adopted in
Wayne county is given where the
directions have been faithfully carried
out. Where the proper methods have
been adopted, the bugs have been held
in check, but i'll many cases methods
have been improperly adapted, used
half heartedly, or not at all, so that
the bugs are in great abundance and
may be expected to ravage the crops
when the next generation of bugs
appears and again next season unless
unexpected developments occur"
Recommendation is mad e that
where bugs have already entered corn
or oats fields, the infested portions be
sprayed, or if that is impracticable,
that the control burrows be run
around them and the corn or oats
then be cut, so that the bugs will have
no food TO mature on and will migrate
into the burrows, where they may be
killed.

FARMERS OF BOSTON
GOING AFTER BUGS

BOSTON, Ind, July 6.-An emergen-
cy meeting Tuesday night of Boston
Township farmers to discuss the
chinch bug situation, agreed to take
all measures possible to combat the
spread of the chinch bugs, and several
expressed intentions of getting bar
rier oil for use in case of rain which
would destroy the dust burrows that
many of the farmers are using.
lnfestation apparently is not so
severe in Boston township as in many
other parts of the county and control
is am easier matter. It is felt that
determined efforts to hold the bugs in
check where they have appeared will
make it easier TO eliminate the pest
here than in the rest of the county.
Foster Campbell, county agent of
Union county, attended the meeting
and advised with the association mem
bers in working out methods of con-
troll.
