FLEAS BOTHERSOME IN
STATE THIS SUMMER.

FieaS are causing an unusual number
OF complaints from residents of Mime
sofa this summer, according to DR.. W.
A. Riley, chief of the division of en-
tomolgy at University Farm, who says
that the hot moist weather is re-
sponsible for heavy infeStation of
these pests. They are present not
only in houses and garages, but also
in great numbers on, lawns.
Fleas are not commonly pests of
man in Minnesota and SO often are
not recognized as the cause of the
irritation and Inflammation which fol-
low their attacks. They are very
small, dark brown insects, little larger
than pinhead, and notorious for their
activity. Usually they jump from the
ground or floor, and hence their at
tacks are most likely to be on the
legs Or body Menthol, corbolated
vaSeline, or spirits of camphor will
give relief.
"Our local fleas which affect man
are traceable almost always to in
tested cats or dogs" DR.. Riley saws.
The adult flea on the animal drops
its eggs and the maggots which hatch
from these feed on dust and debris.
The first step in control consists in
keeping cats and dogs out of the house
or in Kidding them of these insects.
The latter can be accomplished by per-
Sistent bathing of the animals with
good flea soap, or by dusting the fur
with fresh pyrethrum or buhach pow
der over paper and burning the stupi-
fed insects which drop. Still more
efficient are shampoo soaps or powders
containing derris.
Adult fleas may be cleared from a

WARDEN BR|CKNER
MOVED To H|BB|NG
ARROWHEAD AND RANGE GAME
WARDENS WILL REPORT AFTER
AUG. 1, TO THE CHIEF WARDEN
AT G-CENTRALIZES THE
GAME WARDEN ACTIVITIES IN
THE ARROWHEAD SECTION.

Removal of the office of Joseph
Brickner, chief game warden, from st.
Paul to Hibbing, where he will be in
direct charge of the Arrowhead and
range country wardens, was announced
Tuesday by George w. Mccullough,
state game and fish commissioner
The change will be effective Aug. l.
The new plan was worked out by
Commissioner Mccullough following
the death of Norman Fairbanks of
Hibbing, who was wounded fatally in
April while attempting to make an
arrest in the North Woods.
Mr.. Brickner will continue as chief
warden, and also will fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Warden Fair
banks. The work done by Warden
Brickner at the main office in ST. Paul
will be absorbed by other members of
the department, Mr.. Mccullough said.
AS result of the change all Arrow
head and range WardenS will report to
Warden Brickner, who in turn will re-
port to Commissioner Mccullough.
Wardens in other sections of the state
will report directly to the main office
in st. Paul.
Commissioner Mccullough said es-
tablishment of the Hibbing office would
centralize the range and Arrowhead
activities of the game and fish de-
partment. The district of the main
Office of the northern part of the state
previously made it difficult in super
vising the work of the wardens with
out loss of time The change also will
make it easier for the wardens to make
their reports.

TRACTORS DAMAGE
BITUMINOUS ROADS.

warning against running tractors
and other farm machinery with sharp
lugS or cleatS over bituminous high
ways, was issued this week, by the
Minnesota Highway department The
warning is timely since large mile
age of oiled and tarred roads have been
constructed this season.
h 1--WE have oil and tar treated about
300 miles of gravel this year, bringing
our mileage of bituminous treated
trunk highways close to 1,100," says
Commissioner G. M. Babcock. "Sev-
eral counties have also done a con-
siderable amount of this kind of work
"All. types of black top highways
may be seriously damaged by wheels
having sharp lugs or other projections.
We realize that keeping threshing en-
gines and similar machinery off of
these roads works some hardship on
the operators, and we are working
with the manufacturers of these
machines and with other highway de-
partments in trying to find a way to
lessen this inconvenience. This will
take time, however, and in the mean
time we must protect the large in
vestment made in these highways.
The cooperation of the owners and the
operators will be appreciated.
VERY often single trip of tractor
over few miles of road may do more
damage than the entire value of the
machine. Bituminous gravel roads are
very difficult to repair; if the road is
badly cut up it almost requires re-
building the entire surface.
