Science Wants
Bedbug Foods
Fat Guys May Be Preferred
Would Be Welcomed By
Fine Collection

Chicago, May ia. G. Grady,
heady "bugologist" of a real bug
house near the edge of town, wishes
somebody would volunteer as food
for his bedbugs. He has collec-
ton of them-originally paid to
10 cents for each one-and they
don't seem to be doing so well on
guinea pig diet. In fact, he said,
they frequently get indigestion and
die. A human being is their natur-
al fare, he said.
The "bug haven" over which
Grady, a University trained ento-
mologist, presides is one of the lab
oratories of a large oil company
that manufactures insect EXTERN
inators to use up surplus kerosene
So the company must have insects
fees, cockroaches and bedbugs-
to exterminate in order to test the
strength of each batch of extermin-
ator before marketing it.
Grady runs bug nursery to In
crease the insect population for his
testing purposes. He welcomes,
within reason-gifts of insects and
sometimes when he needs a supply
in a hurry he has to buy them.
Bedbugs, said Grady, have been
known to live a year without food,
but his are fed one every ten days
so that they may be extra strong.

Pocket Gopher Is
Easily Subdued
Stearns County Farm Bureau Sug-
gest Practical Plan of Eradi-
cation by Poison Method

The pocket gopher is the most
easily controlled rodent infesting
Minnesota farms. Various poisons
and traps on the market have not
given the desired control, owing to
the difficulty of setting the traps
and depositing the poisons in the
proper runways.
Poisoning is the only method of
control whereby great deal can
be done in short time with a
small amount of work and ex-
pense. The gophers on the average
farm can be killed in one or two
applications of the poison.
Poison should be handled with
great care. The poison container
should be labeled Poison and placed
out of reach of children. All uten-
sils used in mixing the bait should
be thoroughly cleaned after using
them.
The following poison used on po-
tatoes or carrots killed all the
gophers in one or two applications.
1-8 ounce sodium bicarbonate
(baking soda)
1-S ounce powdered strychnia
alkaloid
1-8 ounce saccharin
This mixture is fluffy powder
and should be placed in a salt
shaker or a can with a sitter top.
The bait should be cut into slices
about Y inch square. The poison is
sifted on the bait and the pieces
turned over in order to apply a
little of the poison to. each piece.

counter beside him discussing a

16 years of age he came to Amer

Shanghai, China, Apr. IA, 1882
Dear Editor,
AS you already know Shang-
hal has just gone through the
worst turmoil it has ever endur-
ed in my So years here. This
time the disaster came very sud-
denly and surprised us all. We
feared trouble was coming
when the Japanese issued an
ultimatum; but we breathed a
sigh of relief when the Chinese
gave in to the Japanese de-
mands and the Japanese Con-
sui said the Chinese agreement
was satisfactory. But what was
our surprise and horror to find
that the Japanese were bound to
get their pound of flesh" in
spite of their promises. They
went wild that very night at
midnight rushing along the mar
row STREETS, smashing doors
and windows, filling the Chi
nese with terror; slaughtering
men, women and children. They
were out on an orgy of destruc-
ton, frightfulness and death.
They were exceedingly brave
when they encountered unarm-
ed men, women and children
but when they got through
Chapel to where the Chinese
troops-the 10Th Route Army
were on guard they found a
stone wall of soldiers. Their
mad advance was stayed. Then
they were not so brave, but
were a very angry, disappoint-
ed lot, for they had expected to
take Shanghai at one stroke.
Fooled in this they gave vent
to their spleen in larger de-
struction. They brought oil and
wood and built fires against
or in larger houses and started
huge CONGREGATIONS in many
places in the. district which
they had occupied. AS people fed
from the burning houses they
slaughtered them wholesale.
Over the district held by the
brave Chinese troops they sent
airplanes and dropped bombs
setting the r. r. Station on
fire, as also the greatest print
ing and publishing plant in all
Asia-The Commercial Press
This was spite-work. AS the
days went by and the Chinese
army still held out the Japanese
became, if possible, more de-
structive and murderous. Since
