CRICKET WARFARE MAY SAVE CROPS
Cultivated Lands Made Barren By Ravages

Washington tUp) Tho federal government will launch an inton. sivo campaign against tho Mormon cricket, Dr F. N. Armand of tho Bureau Of Entomology has an' nounced.
 This post, according to the bu. rcau, drove many carly western settlers from their homcsteads nnd still causes heavy crop logfes, specially in tho northern Rocky Mountain region.
 pr Armand faid that unless tho erickotB were poisoned before thoy migrate from uneultivated nrcas on Indian reservations and In national forests, whore millions Of GEES survived tho winter, they would ravIsh cultivated lands.
 Government exports will direct the campaign and supply mate. riala and equipment, Busting young erickots In tho matching re- gian with powdered calcium ar- senate and hydratod limo was prescribed by pr Armand as tho best method Of destruction.
 Tho erlekots got their name, it was said, from tho fact that their first recorded appearance was tn the Great Salt f.nko Basin in Utah. whore they overran tho first fields planted by the Mormon White Rulls enme to tho yeseue and dovoured tho insects before they had completely destroyed the crops. A monument Inside the gates of tho temple grounds iH Salt Lake City c0mmemoratos the timely arrival of tho birds.
 Mormon crickets, according to tho bureau, usually migrate in bands varying from tho sizc of n city block to . square milo or moro. These bands gro very dense. often with 100 to 500 erickots per square foot From tho timo they hatch in tho spring until they dlsappogr In tho fall. tho erickets are almost constantly In motion. A band of them once entered an open.air dance pa. vilIon and advanced across tho polished floor, Their crushed bodies soon made tho plnco 10 un pleasant that the dancers loft.

Three months ago, little Caroline

lures in her bones, which since have
healed.
The new breaks are the results
of a fall from an improvised bed on
a cedar chest, where her mother,
Mrs. Hansel Mercer, 404 North
Chester street, had placed her. Be
cause of her apparent inability to
move, Mrs. Mercer believed the baby
was safe there.
Since her birth, Baby Caroline has
gone through extensive treatments
to heal the fractures in her bones.
The fractures we're caused before
birth, with the exception of two
which occurred at birth. All were
the result of a rare condition of i'm
proper bone formation before birth.

STATE BREWERS
SLASH PRICES
Large Stems for Nickel
Loom After Cut to
Wholesalers.

Effective today, breweries OF In
diana have reduced the case price
of beer Is cents and the barrel
product 81 to wholesalers of the
state.
Volunteer reduction in prices to
wholesalers and retailers where di-
rect deliveries are made was done,
according to Harold Feightner, eX-
ecutive director of Indiana Brew
ers' Association, because OF in
creased consumption.
Forecast of the possibility OF huge
scent stems was made by Mr.
Feightner.
"The decrease was made possible
When the hreweries agreed TO alb
serb freight costs both on outgoing
beer and the return of empty con-
tainers," said Mr.. Feightner.
This cost formerly was sustained
by wholesalers.
There is no reason why all In
diana beers can not be purchased
from retail stores at 10 cents a Dot
tie and the size of the stems in
creased materially" declared Mr.
Feightner.
"a good-sized glass of beer for a
nickel should be possible if the
wholesalers and retailers pass the
decrease along to the consuming
public" he said as he told of the
cheapest brew since prohibition.
The reduction. was made despite
rising costs in the manufacture OF
beer. Indiana brewers sell approx
mately 10000 barrels monthly.
Numerous Indianapolis retail es-
adjustments began increasing the
stein size and selling bottle beer for
10 cents last week.

A few weeks after her birth the

them.
The baby's legs now are in braces

RACE
FUEL RULING
IS T|GHTENED
AAA Rules Committee Sets
Gasoline Limit at
421-2 Gallons.
BIZ Tnited Press

By United Press
DETROIT, Aug. 10 Gasoline
consumption for race drivers in the
annual indianapolis Memorial day
5OO-mile auto race was limited to
forty-two and one-half gallons for
1885 at a meeting of the contest
board of the American Automobile
Association today.
Cars this year were allowed to
consume forty-five gallons.
The fact that Bill Cummings,
winner of the 1884 event, consumed
only thirty five and one-half gallons
in the 500 miles, averaging 14.1 miles
per gallon, led officials to cut the
amount from forty-five gallons.
Frank Brisko, who finished eighth
in the event, made the best mileage,
getting 1439 miles to a gallon and
using only thirty three and three
fourths gallons.
