The Trap Sprung Again
Similar quick action OF the bank
crook trap in Boston terminated the
career Of another check f0rger> who
had been operating successfully in the
New England states. The banks which
he had victimized notified the Amer.
lean Bankers Association with the re.
suit that all other banks In the terri.
tory were warned against him and
were put on guard. Therefore, when
he walked into a Boston bank to con
tinue his operations he walked into a
trap as he was Immediately recog
nized and nabbed by the officers there.
These are only two instances Of
many that have recently taken place
In various parts OF the country. Some

With the advent Of cool weather in
ne fall, usually in October and No
vember, boil weevils begin to seek
protection against the winter. The
majority of the weevils leave the
fields and fly to the nearest shelter
which may be adjoining timber, grassy
turnrows or buildings. The direction
Of their flight Is governed partially
by the prevailing winds. The move.
ment takes place when an average
temperature of so degrees is reached.
The movement into winter quarters
| Is not sudden and many weevils may
be found in fields after majority
have left. In some cases it has been
observed that more than thousand
weevils have been found in fields as
late as December IS.
The most favorable Dsases for win
ing are those in which there are the
most even temperatures and where
at the same time the conditions are
| comparatively dry. Spanish moss
probably is the most favorable shell
ter weevils obtain, but many survive
the winter outside of the region in
which Spanish moss occurs, in grass,
stumps, cracks in the ground and
similar places. Very few are ever
found in cotton seed.
During the winter the weevils take
no food and ordinarily do not move
from the place they have hidden but
sometimes during very warm spells
few in the exposed places may be
seen crawling or flying about.
The weevil passes the winter in
the adult stage. When frosts occur
| immature stages still may be found
in the squares or the bolls. If the
food supply is sufficient many OF
these immature stages continue their
development at very slow rate and
finally emerge as adult weevils. Thus,
there may be somewhat continuous
production Of adults during the win
ter. Ordinarily, however, this is not
the case, since the froets that de-
stroy the cotton generally kill the
grubs.
The number of weevils living
through the winter varies greatly
from year to year as shown by obser.
vations made at many localities for a
number of years. IN one year only
one weevil out of a hundred survived,
but, in another case, twenty out Of
each hundred lived through. The lat
ter figure is undoubtedly exceptional
and it appears that under average
conditions throughout the greater
part of the cotton belt not more than
five weevils out OF a hundred lived
over to attack the crop the following
year. The largest number lives
through wb ere there is heavy timber
Enough survive any winter to cause
heavy damage if the spring and sum-
mer favors.

SILLY SUICIDES

Alas that an act so tragic should
result from such trivial disappoint-
ment or silly chagrin as the current
news of the week reveals. A boy in
Iowa killed himself from disappoint-
ment in receiving cheap car as gift
from his parents instead of the high
priced one he wanted.
Another case was recently reported
of suicide compact between five boys
who had been scolded by their school
teachers. Only one was rash enough
to carry it out. A French actress
whose petty ambition it is to lead in
bizarre effects of dress on the stage
was so chagrined to find another with
similar design of costume to her
own, that she had brain storm and
rushed away to drown herself, but was
rcsuscitated TO live her worse than
useless life a space longer.
