safety. Let's stay out where there
are no trees-right in the middle Of
this field"
I'VE could find dry place in the
woods I'm sure" said Vera, land II
doesn't look as though it would be a
long storm. The rain is beginning and
the drops are very big"
"But don't you know that IL is more
dangerous to stand under a tree than
anywhere else" Dora said
"Pooh," said Vera. "Only 'fraid
cats think that And l guess IL
stand under that great tree couldn't
very well be hurt" She pointed to
the big tree In the field And started
to go toward 1t.
"Oh please" sobbed Dora III you
are not afraid, for my sake stay with
me in the open. Please, sister.
Please!"
Now Vera did rot like Dora for be-
having as she did and for spelling
their walk by making them get wet
when II wasn't necessary in the least
her when she felt so about II.
So out in the field they stayed while
the rain poured down, the lightning
flashed and the thunder rumbled In
Its great deep way.
Suddenly something seemed 70
strike. Had they been struck? With
beating hearts they looked at each
other and moved their heads and arms
TO make sure they were alive.
Yes. they were alive, but the light
ming had hit the great tree. 1t had
merely knocked them down but had
not struck them as they were sum-
ciently far away from the tree.
There before them was the tree,
broken right In the center, slsshed and
killed by the dangerous power Of the
lightning.
"Oh Dora" Vera said, as she put
her arm around her sister. you have
saved my life by having the bravery
TO be afraid Of things that are really
dangerous My dear brave sister"
And Dora's heart rejoiced. Yes, she
had saved her sister and she knew
that in the future Vera would not be
frighteningly careless!
And then too she had been called
brave. That made up for all the times
she had been called a 'fraid cat. Yea

tance, entomologlst In charge Of fruit
insect investigations.
The peach borer IL the larva Of a
beautiful clear-winged moth. II feeds
on the inner bark at the base Of the
tree or on the adjacent roots, seriously
injuring and frequently killing the
trees attacked. Few American In
sects have been more experimental
with by entomolglsts and others than
the peach borer.
AS a result Of experiments begun by
the department in 1915, IL was found
that this pest could be largely de-
stroyed by the application Of para
dichol0rObenzene, which Is a volatile
poison.
The chemical is applied In the fall
around the base Of the tree. The soil
Is first leveled OF and a band Of
"parndlchlor'' is applied to the soil on
a continuous band about 2 inches from
he tree trunk. using II at the rate Of
ounce per tree. After the chemical
is applied the soil Is covered with two
4 three shovelfuls Of earth. The vapor
rom the chemical permeetes the soil
md kills the larvae In their burrows.
The bulletin treats briefly Of the life
and habits OF the insect; Of the worm

CLOTHING AND FOOD IS
NEEDED FOR PERSONS
NDESTlTUTE CONDITION

There's no disputing the fact that
there is and will be number of fam
lilies in Sedgwick county who must
have assistance this winter to re-
lieve them from destitute circum-
stances, and it behooves the citizens
of the county who are in more fortu-
nate circumstances to lend their as
sistance in this matter. The county
poor fund is in such shape that it
must be used most judiciously, and it
will not be possible to expect assist
ance from the county in every case,
if we are to expect the taxes not
to be increased.
The citizens of Sedgwick county
can solve the problem in caring for
people who are in destitute circum-
stances, if they go at it in a system
attic way by cooperating in gathering
up articles of clothing, food, etc. In
an interview with the three members
of the board of county commissioners
Tuesday, representative of this
paper was informed that the COM
missioners would see to the proper
distribution of clothing, food, etc. to
those in need, and urged that people
having any donations. to make, to dc
so at the earliest possible date. Do
nations may be left at the Austin &
Mccoy store in Julesburg. County
