TEXAS RANGERS
 ARECLEANINC UP
 MUSHROOM TOWN
They Started Out Yester= day to Cleanse KilgOre, But Found All the Places Had Been Closed
By EARL E. STEELE nitCfl PPCSS Staff (OprnSl,onIonfl

(Un1tcd Press Staff Correspondent
 kilgore, Tex, March 3.-UP)- Ten Texas rangers, bent on remov- ing the lawless element from this mushroom oil town, found speak easies, gambling parlors and other places of i'll repute deserted to-day.
 Three hundred suspicious charac- ters, lured here by the traditional easy money and morals of the oil rested by the rangers in a wholesale drive yesterday.
 Twenty were held in the Longview jail. The others disappeared after they were fingerprinted by experts from Dallas and released.
 Establishments of unsavory repu tation which were opened in the wake of the towns sudden change from a sleepy village of 500 inhabit- ants to boom center of 10000 were as decorous as a church.
 The first Baptist church was trans formed into an emergency base of operations. Every oil field worker, roustabout and "fioater" in the town was escorted to the church.
 Not a shot was fired, and a single ranger often herded as many as a score of prisoners from a domino hall through the muddy streets.
 Mayor Malcolm Grim, Presbyterian church elder, ordered Gilgore officers to work under orders of Ranger Cap- tain Tom Hickman.
 "I haven't had any serious com plaints, but want to weed out unde- sirables who always follow oil booms," Captain Hickman said.
 Kilgore had bene quiet and law abiding in comparison to Borger. Wink, and Mexia in their boom days.
 Within two months hundreds of unpainted yellow pine shacks have been hastily erected, still the town lacks accommodations for the hum dreds focking to east Texas to spec ulate in oil and its concurrent trade.
 More than 30 producing wells have been drilled in three adjacent areas, and many believe there is continu- ous pool fore than 23 miles long. Six pipelines have been built, and as many more are under construction.
 Captain Hickman had methodical- ly mapped out his campaign. The roads were SO muddy that automo- piles could not traverse them. So the rangers shipped horses to Glade water, a village 10 miles to the north east. From there they galloped into town. rifles swung across their sad dles and guns at their hips.
 Five of the rangers continued to Crimville. five miles west. late in the day and rounded up a score of men. They marched the prisoners to the church here.

Beetle Pest TN Northwest.

THE Great Basin wire worm, just as widely
] and Just unfavorably known the
click beetle and the swapping beetle, is one
insect pest Of the farmer which well merits
universal condemnation, for 1t hits a man when
he's down. Farming under dry conditions, in
which the annual rainfall is Is inches or less,
is bad enough In itself and makes the task Of
the farmer far from easy. He has . difllcult
struggle making both ends meet and 1t Is under
these circumstances that the wire worm gets
in its work.
At present It's principal habitat rs In WASH
ington, Oregon and Idaho. It's principal food
is the wheat which has replaced the bunch
grass that preceded mans cultivation Of the
land in that area Annually the damage done
by the worm runs well into the millions.
The common names Of click beetle and
swapping beetle come from q perculiarity Of
its adult or beetle stage. which incidentally 10
the harmless stage When q beetle, through
some exterior force, is knocked over on It's
back, 1t manages 10 snap the forepart Of It's
body Ia o way which throws 1t into the air.
This Is continued until the beetle, through
chance, lands once more on its feet.
