They were denied the privilege of vot-

fight and interest was so tense, the news

Pine Beetle Destruchve

IT isn't very much to look at, the Southern
pine beetle, but it does a mans size job
Of destruction when it gets going.
In single epidemics the beetle has been known
to do more than $4,000, 900 damage to for
est before it has been controlled. Ofhcials Of
the Department of Agriculture estimate that
the amount Of timber destroyed by the pest
since 1891 would have been worth $5O.OOO,OOO
If standing at this time.
The beetle isn't very sporting about its &C
tivities, either, taking advantage of the trees
when they are down." SO to speak. After q
tree has been damaged by fire, lightning or
wind and is in weak condition, the beetle,
If it is in the vicinity, makes its way into the
inner bark and soon brings about destruction
Neighboring trees are likely to be affected, and
in a short time the damage is widespread.
Abnormally dry weather seems particularly
Ideal for the destructive activities of the beetle
and only an abundance of rain brings relief
to the trees.
All types and ages of pines fall victim when
the tiny beetle gets under way, and great
vigilance is necessary to keep it down.

It's swell chance to make big money he
says. The Panamanians are ready spenderS,
he says, and crazy over dancing. And Teddy
kept trying to make me go.
Il went The boat got in about o'clock
in the evening. The man they sent to meet
me said that was to hop into my dance clothes
and hurry along with him to the hall. My
trunks would go up afterward.
Say, I'm telling you'll never did see dance
hall like that one! 1t was a scream! The
guy hadn't told me that the Panamanans were
all colors. Everything was sitting at the tables
from putty-coored dudes with diamonds in
their embroidered shirts to jet-black fellows in
line Clothes Each man had poured bottle
OF scent over himself. The smell of that
perfume, and the smell of the different breeds
OF people was something fierce. 1t made me
feel queer, all Of a sudden.
Il sat down at one Of the tables and the fat
cream colored woman who ran the place came
over and gave me something to drink to cool
me off, she said. 1t made me COOL but odd
feeling. leaned my head on my hand, SOS
the floor would stop going around And some
thlng-the heat, maybe-made me so sleepy
thought to myself I'd swap my job for a bed
II could of found a bed. And then 1 realized
that somebody was stroking my arm; long,
pressing strokes like you give a cats back
There wasn't much feeling in my arm, it was
sorter dead; but knew darned well that some
DoOy was 1oonng with 1t. opened my eyes
wide. 1t was fellow who was fooling with
my arm! black man who spoke lingo that
1 guess was Spanish ANY rate didn't under
stand word he said And I jumped away
from him; I never had had a man stroke nv
arm, and didn't like it a bit. So / says to
him: You get away from me! But he
laughed so all his teeth showed and he
reached over and grabbed me. That woke me
up sure enough, and I kicked and screamed
And the next thing knew a white man had
come across the room and lifted that fellow
by the Scruff of his neck and thrown him in a
corner. I've seen fights in my day-but say!
1 never saw a prettier one than that! The
stranger cleaned out the crowd!
THE cream-colored woman rushed over and
began jabbering at him, and the dudes with
the diamond buttons stood close by and
laughed and whispered to each other In their
crazy talk and pushed their shoulders up in
the air until you couldn't see their big ears,
but that American paid no attention to them.
He treated them so like scum that was proud
TO be standing by him.
The American took me by the arm-not
spoony just sort of as if he was boss around
those diggings-and walked me over to a
table in far corner, away from the jabber-
