These percentages are based upon the number of pupils In tho classes represented, and not upon the actual ausBbor of pupils spelling, each pupil who Is absent from school on con test days being charged with having nabsspolled all tho words pronounced. Heaco these grades are lower than the actual spelling averages. Tho highest percentages wore autOe by tho rural schools, but the average throughout the county are set so high au In the town schools. la the town schools the average aunber of words spelled correctly, lased on tho actual number of pupils .setllng; Is 91.7 out of every one hundred, while In the rural schools K ta 85.9. THE PEAR THRIPS (By Dudloy Moulton of tho JJcpartmont Deciduous Fruit Insect Investigations.) of Acrlculturo, engaged In (Continued from Ycstorday.) Tho Nymph or Pupa. The writer hits not been able to determine how long tho nymph stago but it evidently oxtendr. over sovornl weeks. Nymphs In all Etnges of de velopment woro collcctod during May and nt lntorvnls until tho following February, but tl oy are most common during Doiomber, Janu.irk, and Feb ruary. The writer hns gathored nymphs from tho ground early In May, but it is difficult to explain tholr presence thcro so early In" tho spring. It hardly seems possiblo that these were tho still Immature forms of tfco previous year, for by this time all adult thrips had left tho trees. These nymphs woro takon along with tho larvae, which had just en tered tho ground, and It might seem that they were hurrying through to produce a second geno-atlon; but to tho writer's certain knowledge adults of n second generation did not appear on the tree. Tho nymph Is actlvo at all times. Wlngu dovolop from mere buds to long sacs which project back ward along tho sides of tho body, and eventually reach beyond the tip of the abdomen. Tho Adult. The adult thrips remain in the pupal chamber for days, and It may be weeks before they Issue forth to tako up active life. How individual thrips force their way through tho several Indies of earth which lies aboe them Is still a question. They como out, It seems, only after the ground has been thoroughly softened by rains, and it is evident, too, that they depenj largely on tho natural openings. They can not possibly use the backwardly bent mouth cono as a means of boriny or biting their way out. Thy have several groups of spines and certain angular edges on the sides of the abdominal segments, however, which might bo used In forcing a way through the soft soil. They also poisess roughened, scoop like structutes parts of tho chltl nous, hoof-life shell of the feet which undoubtedly are ube.l for digging. Adult thrips appeared la alarming Adults may be present in nn ov chnrd for a few das and then sud denly almost nil disappear Thla Is explained by their habits of migration as ovidenced by tho following obser vations In a cortnln poar orchard which had been kopt undor dally ob servation for a weok or more thrips had been abundant In bkssoms nnd buds until suddenly ono day all seetnd to li.ivo disappeared. Upon closor examination, however, they woro found congregating and walking nrouud on tho larger brarictea. This wa3 about 3 oclock In tho afternoon. On tho following mornlnjf hnrdly an individual could bo found In tho or chaul. This maimer of flight seems to bo distinctly migrator. Thrips ofton leave their places of feeding Just before ouncot and hover around and over and later settle bnck on tho same trees. This mode of flight Is decidedly different from tho mlgrv- tory one. It occurs only at even ing, and tho writer has never seeu tho pear thrips In flight during tho morning or during tho mlddlo of tho day. Methods and Natural Factors in Control. The study of tho llto habits of tho pear thrips, as already given In de tail, explains why certain arttllclnl remedies nro not entirely effective, nnd It also suggests othor methods. Adults appear suddenly li Into Feb ruary and oirly March. They enter tho opening buds and feed largely In protected places, and always on newly developing plant tissue. Destru: tlon to buds can bo accomplished In a very few clays It may bo In less than a week. Tho fully dovolopoJ wings of the Insect permit of active flight and widespread distribution. Ovipositlon, extending through sev eral weeks, permits of a widespread and a continuous feeding porlod for tho new brood. Eggs are safely placed within the plant tissue. Larvto feed largely 'a protected places whllo on the tree, and then seek Bhclter and spend many months In tho ground. An Individual of tho specie, will spend about oleven months In tl o ground and one on the tree, although tho BREWERS WILL TALK PROHIBITION National Convention nt Washington Next Week to Go Over Situation Salo of Beer Increases, Dcspito Restrictive Legislation. numbers In many Santa Clara Valley .whole perlcd of infestation of trees orchards in 1904, about February 24; by rdults .nd larvae may be about i WASHINGTON, D.

It was, however, poem, "Tho Bluo and tho Gray." An other charming solo from Miss Ma bel Jones, followed by a well-chosen roading from Mrs. Perry Elliot und then came tho principal feature of the program, which was tho address by Professor A. J.

Memorial services wore held in the opera house on Monday forenoon nt 10:30, under tho auspices of the G. A. R. No. 07, and tho W. R. C, No. 27, of Central Point. Tho hall was tastefully decorated with flags and bunting, and in spito of tho rather unusual heat a lurgo audience of rep resentative citizens were present nnd upon the main cnusos that led to our civil war, reviewed as briefly our na tional history since thnt time, and struck a note of warning against the danger that threatens us from tho egoism which may result from ovor prospority nnd too great success. Among other good things, ho said: "As great as has been our many achievements, wo may yet fall, as Rome did, through our ambition," He closed his address with a most feel ing and appropriate tribute to tho na tion's dead, tho bravo hoys who woro tho blue and tho gray. , After Professor Hunby's address, Misses Audrey Holmes nnd Louise Elsted sang a duet and tho services closed with "Amorioa," sung by tho ontiro audience. In the afternoon tho splendid band of G. A. R. brothers and that no less grnnd organization, tho W. R.

Will Hathaway, recently operated upon for appendicitis, continues to improve, and his present condition listened attentively to tho program, indicates a rapid recovery. Ono Who Knows Recommends a Rem edy to Anxious Mothers. M7 Uttlo boy, who la four years old, has suffered a lot with croup. On several occasions we thought he was gone. After trying all the old tlmo rem edies and most of tho new, I camo homo ono night at midnight, and my wifo said: "Tho boy has tho croup again suppose you get a bottlo of Hyomol." "Moro junk," I oald, "but we will circulate our money so they all will get somo." I hastened to an all night drug storo, brought It homo. In flvo min utes ho was breathing castor. In flf toou minutes ho woo sound asleep. It broke tho croup so quickly It scared me. Anyone wishing to euro tho croup of a child I hope will givo Hyomel a trial.
