WORM SPRAYING
BEGINS MONDAY
Spraying of Infested Army
Worm Areas Expected to
Begin Next Week.

Spraying equipment mounted on
trucks is expected to begin the work of
the infested army worm or
tent caterpillar areas in this section
where the pest has been prevalent for
the past three years. The work will
get under way Monday or soon there
after.
The Forest Service infested areas will
be sprayed on program mapped out.
Private cabin owners wishing their
properties sprayed will get in touch with
Ranger j. K Adams at the Halfway
Ranger station on Friday and Saturday
and arrange for the services by the pay
ment of $3.50 per acre.
The use of the equipment will be
free to the private owner but the cost OF
the poison, estimated at $3.50 an acre,
or a minimum charge of $500, must
be borne by the one wishing spraying
done. The charge is as reasonable as
can be made on account of the moving
of the equipment to the several spots
out of the line of the forest work.
It is recommended that owners, hav-
ing only a small area to spray, unite
and cooperate to thave their territory
sprayed at the same time to cut the
cost. The machines have capacity of
spraying an area of $50 feet about any
given point and it is supposed that this
will be sufficient distance to stop the
pest as it is figured $50 feet is about
all the worm will travel in a season, if
not stopped.
The power spraying equipment is
mounted on trucks and can go anywhere
a truck can go. 1t was at first thought
that airplanes could be utilized to
spread the poison over infested areas.
according to those in a position to
know This was prohibitive as the cost
would mount to such high figures and
there was no assurance that the poison
would do what it was intended to do.
The spraying is done through hose
! line and can be handled by one man
1t has capacity of reaching the high
trees. Another large sprayer is mounted
on a barge and can be ferried across
lakes to spots not accessible by roads
Ranger Adams asks that owners ap-
plying for the services should give a
general description of the property, 10
cation, and also a legal description of
the location. This will facilitate mat
tiers and assure everyone of service when
the work begins. Make application to

An editor is a man who is
supposed to be plain and out
spoken on all matters until such
matters conflict with your per-
sonal opinions. He is also a
man to whom the reader rushes
when he finds a mispelled name
in the newspaper and no credit
is given for the $500 chances
he takes in making an error in
every line of the paper, every
week, and the thousands of
heartaches suppressed by not
publishing everything he knows
about his neighbors.

'ChiseIers" Are To Be
Taken to Court.

Walter Either of Virginia, supervisor
of Northern st. Louis County for the
Poor Commission, today issued a warn
ing to what he termed 'chiselers" or
those now receiving relief in any form,
direct or work relief, and are undeserv-
ing of it.
1--WE are going after these "chiselers," i"
Mr.. Either said, citing particular per-
son in Hibbing who had received
$5O8.7O in direct and work relief while
he had on deposit over $4,OO0.00 in the
United States postal savings bank. AL
though this person has paid back the
amount of the relief which he received,
Mr. Either expects to prosecute the man
in court, he said.

"Wild boys and wilder girls
attending country dances
should be barred from attend
ing such functions" is the gist of
editorials appearing in the
range press. Why specify
country dances? 1t is a well
known fact that there are some
who attend dances to see how
much HI they can raise.
There are a few goofs at every
dance who need a good thrash
ing. Dance managers, instead
of hiring some constable or cop,
should engage the services of
some bruiser who can perform
the bouncing act and follow it
up with a few swift kicks, de-
livered in the proper place.
There are many who like
dancing as a relaxation and to
have their pleasure marred by
hoodlums is most assuredly un-
fair. The closing of the dance
halls is hardly the proper thing
to do and not fair to the well
behaved young men and women
who enjoy this kind of recrea-
ton. Frank Harris in the
Queen City Sun says that ''the
gun whitfield the rowdy gang
down to nothingness in the far
west. Let us hope such drastic
action will not be needed on
the ranges"

Landon's Acceptance Speech . It's
A Horse On The Republicans SO
Far Not For Long :.

WASHINGTON.-The next big political date
IS July %. Governor Landon then makes his
speech in Topeka, accepting the Republican
presidential nomination.
AS the game stands now, the Republicans
have had one shake and the Democrats have
the Republicans. The Landons wrote their
party platform at Cleveland and the Roosevets
have two grand chances to shoot at it-Wlth
the Democratic platform and the presidents
speech of acceptance at Philadelphia
No one Is suggesting that Roosevelt didn't
squeeze out every last drop Of the advantage
given him by the fact that the opposition took
first crack. -Nt-
And no more convincing evidence of Gov
ernor LandCns shrewdnesS exists than the
fact that he promptly refused to go to Cleveland
and deliver his acceptance speech at the close
of the convention there.
He and his strategsts are now in position
to study the Roosevelt platform and speech,
taking plenty Of time to do it and riddle it if
they can. After Landon speaks, the campaign
Will be officially-and actualy-off in iull swing
Landon has a high mark to shoot at. The
greatness of RooseveltS speech political
document has been recognized by many Republ-
cans as well as most Democrats and it will be
hard to produce anything Of its kind which Will
surpass it or outdo it as a fighting declaration
Of principle.
Landon's speech must be essentially an an
sWer to Roosevelt however and it is logical
to assume that it will attempt TO throw many
words back in the presidents teeth, to exploit
many New Deal faults and mistakes in such
way as to prove that RoOSeyeltS brave words
can be taken as no guarantee of performance
The presidents stirring attack on monopoly
for instance might well be answered by the
charge that monopoly and many Of its prac-
ticss have flourished under the New Deal and
ever a joke under the present Department Of
Justice.

ORANGE COUNTY FOLLOWS
IHPERIAL'S EXAMPLE

Orange county recently has under
gone the same social operation which
Imperial Valley has used, to show that
communists and agitators can't get
away with dirty tactics in melting peace
ful workers to property destruction and
riots.
Imperial Valley knows what injury
to grower and field worker alike, can be
accomplished by few radical ringlead
ers. Such scum of the earth were dealt
with effectively and properly by the
Valleys own leaders and agencies, and
Orange county has found it necessary
to use the same measures to curb Its
own recent disturbances.
Labor should learn it can get nowhere
by following such agitators. Field work
ers may or may not find it beneficial
to organize. But whether they can eN-
pect to obtain any better conditions
through organization or not, agltatorS
only turn public sentiment against them
and the idea of union Farmers and
growers have enough of a problem IN
making ends meet and workers, by STIR
ring up trouble, only make matters
worse and endanger the industries which
support them.
This country is sick and tired of the
agitator and communist, double-crosS-
ing human beings many OF Wnohl nave
sneaked into this country by trickery,
have no business being here, and who
make their living by stirring up trouble.
Workers should not be fooled into FOL
lowing them nor their PHILOSOPHERS of
force and destruction. The sooner the
worker realizes that these subversive
elements have nothing to offer in the
way of betterment, the better for the
worker
We hope Orange county doesn't relax
in her efforts to give the troublesome
elements the thrashing of their lives and
whip them out of this section of the
country. Only through repeated exam
Piles that law and order cannot be bull
led, will peace be maintained IN the
groves and fields of California.
