OUR INSECT ENEMIES

MAJ. NJ. A. REAsONER Of the
Ava United States army recently de-
livered an address in New York be-
fore manufacturers association.
Coming from an army officer, you
would naturally expect such an ad-
dress to deal with the latest and i'm
proved methods of killing human be-
ings and of new types of submarines,
airplanes and long-range guns. But it
wasn't. Major Reasoner is an officer
in the medical corps and is consequent
ly more interested in saving human
life than in destroying it,
The enemies Major Reasoner talked
about are not only enemies of this
country, but of the entire human race.
They are not other men, but insects.
Today the whole world is talking
about peace among men. This is not
only sensible, but almost necessary.
1t is wise and desirable that human
beings, the world over, should join
forces against a common enemy, one
which has been fighting human beings
since time began and which will con-
tinue to fight and kill us as long as
life exists.
Instead Of being interested in life
destroying devices, Major Reasoner
is interested in life-saving, and the
one invention which he says has saved
more lives than any other is the or
binary fly screen.
1t is impossible, says Major Reason
er. to estimate the damage that in
sects have done. Small as they are,
they have overthrow governments
and even blotted out whole countries.
Historians have long been unable to
explain why such powerful civiliza-
tons as those of Greece, Rome, Egypt,
Mesopotamia and Assyria were de-
strOyed. In many cases this was due
to insect-borne diseases which either
wiped out the population or so
weakened the people that they were
easily conquered by some stronger
nation.
With us, the common house fly is the
most frequent carrier of disease.
Typhoid, cholera and dysentery are
spread by it. Mosquitoes carry malaria
and yellow fever, as well as two trop-
ical diseases, filariasis and dengue.
Various kinds of flies carry other dis
eases as yaws and tularemia. Fleas
carry bubonic plague and dum-dum
fever. Lice carry typhus fever, trench
fever and relapsing fever. Ticks car
ry Rocky mountain spotted fever
For centuries no one suspected that
insects carried these diseases from
man to man. They were considered
too small to be of any Importance. SO
their very insignificance was their
protection.
Now that we know how dangerous
they are. they can be fought in the
open. Mans strength will protect him
from these little foes if he will use his
knowledge. If not, he must pay the
penalty.

pRIMITIvE man planted no seeds
= and reaped no crops He got his
food from the trees, with no thought
of the future. The first man who pro-
posed to plant seed for future har-
vests was probably looked on as in
spired, as well he might be.
For still longer period the human
race got its meat supply from wild
animals. Then the commoner and
gentler animals, as cattle. camels,
goats and sheep, were tanned and
raised for both milk and meat.
Having once domesticated these ami
mails and becoming used to their meat
as food, man and especially civilized
races apparently paid little attention
to any Others Other forms of animal
life found in new lands as they were
explored were apparently neglected.
When America was discovered and eX-
plored no attention was paid to the
new food supplies found here nor was
any attempt made to develop them.
The English were used to beef as a
meat supply and to cattle as a source
of milk" So the buffalo, elk, deer
and other meat animals were slaugh4
tered for, their hides, hoofs and ski $.
without any attempt to save and cul-
tivate them for permanent use.
1t is only through accident that the
American buffalo was not totally ex-
terminated.
The American elk, a still more val
liable meat animal, which formerly
existed by the million, was also nearly
wiped out through senseless slaughter
In 1889 the federal government settled
a nerd of thirty-eight elk in Custer
park in South Dakota. In 1901, R0ose-
welt, as President, started definite
program for protecting them. They
are now, through protection, rapidly
increasing in numbers and may soon
be source of meat supply.
In 1905, the Department of Agricul-
ture issued Bulletin 303 ON Deer
Farming and a number of farmers
took up this line of breeding.
In many ways elk farming is easier
and more profitable than cattle rails
ing. Elk will thrive on less food than
any other member of the deer family,
they can live on land fit for nothing
else, they grow to large size. mature
male weighing from 700 to 1000
POUNDS, and female from 600 to 800
pounds. They mature early, they are
unusually hardy and are free from
most of the disease that afflict cattle.
There are now about 10000 elk in the
United States and from this supply
large quantities of meat could be de-
veloped.

OBITUARY..
FRANK S. CRABTREE.

FitANh .. CHABIREE.
Frank Sidney Crabtree died Sun
day morning, Dec. 10, at the home
of his brother, Judge Harry L.
Crabtree, in Ellsworth. He was
born in Franklin, February II,
1865. the son of the late Thomas
Alden and Julia (Tracy) Crabtree.
When a young man, he joined an
elder brother, Leonard T. Crabtree,
in Wisconsin, studied telegraphy
and for many years was employed
by the Milwaukee, Lake Shore and
Western r. R., as telegraph opera
ttor Returning east, he was with
the Maine Central and Bangor &
Aroostook railroads until 1921,
when, because of i'll health and an
ardent love for the out of doors, he
bought farm in Franklin, where he
had spent most of his time lately,
serving as game warden in eastern
Hancock county.
In his early days of railroading
in the West, where men of all
kinds and classes were congregated,
he won the respect of even the
toughest men because of his sturdy
personality and strength of char
acter.
Mr. Crabtree was of studious
disposition, being especially fond Of
scientific works and stories OF out
door life, and his love of nature
called him on many trips through
the West and South, including Cali
fornia and the Grand Canyon. His
memories were always OF the noun
tains, hills and valleys.
NJ hfroo rovQr married. He
is survived by four sisters and two
brothers-Mrs. R. Treworgy and
Harry l.. Crabtree of Ellsworth, Mrs
Samuel T. White of Hampden High
lands, Mrs. r. C. Lord Of Ellsworth,
Mrs. Charles P. Libby of Providence,
r. l., and Leonard T. Crabtree OF
Oshkosh, Wis, all Of whom were
with him during his illness.
Funeral services were held yes
terday afternoon at the home of his
brother, Judge Crabtree. Rev.
George H. Driver, pastor of the Con-
gregational church, officiated.
MRS. RICHARD E. WILEY.
The death on Friday Of Ruth
Young, wife of Richard E. Wiley,
| caused sadness to a wide circle Of
friends, and a wave of sympathy
went out to the family. While it
had been known for some time that
she could not recover, and that
death to her brought release from
longer suffering, the passing of one
so young is always sad. During her
short life she was called to bear
more suffering than falls to many of
her years, and bore it cheerfully,
hopefully.
Ruth was born in Ellsworth April
9, 1909, the only daughter Of Frank
H. and Josephine (Burke) Young,
and was only nine years old when
her mother died. She studied in the
schools of Ellsworth, and entered
the high school, but here her course
was interrupted by serious illness,
which shattered her health. In July
last she was married to Richard E.
Wiley, and had since lived with her
husband and his mother on Frank
lin street, where she died.
She leaves, besides her father and
husband, two brothers, Alonzo OF
