Box Elder Bugs
Migrofing Indoors

No one likes bugs in the house
even if they don't do any damage.
Cool weather sends host of these
unwelcome visitors looking for
winter quarters. Many of them find
their way into homes, reports Geo.
Vapaa, Kent county agent.
One that is especially bother
some this time of year is the box
elder bug. AS soon as cool weather
arrives they start looking for a
warmer place to live.
Although they do not feed on
either food or clothing, they do
spot curtains and wallpaper.
Their main source of food is the
seeds of boxelder trees. Thorough
ly spraying insecticides on h e
trunks and the ground around the
trunks of seed-bearing boxelder
trees when you see the bugs is one
part of controlling these pests. In
addition, spray the sides and
foundation of the house and a g.
foot strip of soil around the house.
One precaution = spray the soil,
not flowers or shrubs, Vapa a
warns. Later = this winter and
early next spring - you can spray
the side of the house if you see
more boxelder bugs, he says.
For quick kills, he suggests a
spray of malathion plus "a deter
gent.
Inside the house, a vacuum
cleaner works we'll in picking up
stray boxelder bugs. Pyr e h r j n
household sprays also give quick
kills, but use them only in severe
cases in the house, the a g n
cautions.
Use only enough detergent to
cause a very light foam.

The days of the door-to-door
statesmen are now a part of the
past, but the same personal SER
vice has been carried over to to-
day by a man who's been in the
sales business since 1927.
This week Louie j. Lee of the
Sidney Electric is celebrating his
25th year in the appliance bust
ness in Sidney. 1t was in the sum-
mer of 1887, the beginning of
REA, when he started business in
Sidney in a warehouse on the
site now occupied by the Yellow
stone REA.
He later purchased the Midwest
Electric from Chef Johnson and
moved to the building which now
houses the Cheerio Lounge. He
has been in his present location
formerly the Diers Furniture
store, since 1910.
Lee got his start in appliance
sales back in 1926 when he sold
appliances door-to-door for the
Maytag Company in Minneapolis
A fellow salesman at that time
was Clair Ely, now vice-president
of Maytag. Lee later became dis
trict manager for Maytag, work
ing out of Superior, Wisconsin.
In 1923 he purchased an in
terest in Maytag Electric at eros
by, North Dakota. 1t was there
that he met his wife Dagne, who
was teaching school at the time.
Lee was born and raised in Ane.
ia, North Dakota. He graduated
from high school there and ther
went on to Dakota Business Col.
lege in Fargo
Looking back on the years, Lee
has seen many changes in applian.
