LADY RUGS MOBILIZED TO ROUT APHID HOSTS The aphid hosts which attack tho grain fields of Oregon and Washing ton each drought season and cause serious loss are to be routed next year by an army of lady-bugs recruit ed from the mountains and canyons of the National Forests, If a plan now on foot Is successfully carried out. The Bureau of Entomology, assist ed by the state and county agents, is attempting to locate a sufficient num ber of the lady-bugs to meet any emergency which may arise In the grain districts of the two states. The lady-bug has no more use for aphlds than civilization has for the Huns and attacks and destroys them with great zest, according to entomologists who are familiar with the insects. The lady-bugs, which are really beetles and not bugs at all, congre gate early in the fall at high alti tudes, or in canyon bottoms, and are sometimes found In all manner of places. They remain inactive in these large colonies as these gatherings are called, until late the following spring, clinging to vegetation of all kinds. The beetles have a red body with black spots and are from one eighth to one fourth inch In length. The Forest Service will cooperate with the Bureau of Entomology In lo cating lady-bug caches, and thus fa cilitate their collection when needed. A circular letter has been mailed from the District Forester's office, Portland, to the forest officers of the district asking them to furnish Infor mation concerning the location of large colonies, containing twenty to tw)enty-flre quarts of the beetles, date of discovery, and approximate size of the colony. The Information furnished by the, rangers will be used in selecting sites where the lady-bugs can be most con veniently collected by the federal, state and county .officials this fall. In this way the officials expect to have the beetles available In suffi cient numbers to prevent a repeti tion of the grain loss of the past sea eon in October and Washington. Archie Eubanks, who has been em ployed in Portland during the past summer, has returned home on ac count of the- serious illness of his mother, Mrs. G. G. Eubanks. The latter is much Improved at the last -accounts, and hopes are entertained for her speedy recovery. This Store Will be Closed all Day Thursday, 1 - Thanksgiving Day.

This mile of road has cost the tax payers about three thousand dol lars to build and It would be a credit to those enjoying the advantage of sightly!

"Some method of protection against the extremes of temperature of Eastern Oregon and the excessive moisture of Western Oregon is es sential," declares Prof. Lovett.' "Single colonies may be wrapped " HYMNS UP TO DATE. On Jordan's stormy banks I stand, and watch with cheerful eye, The hurried Turks burn up the land, as they go whizzing by. Thru storied scenes they wildly rush, their coat-tails flapping wide, They're scratching for the underbrush, where they may hqpe to hide. By cool Slloam's shady rill, the Turk, In deep distress Is wondering how that Kaiser BUI got him in such a mess. ' Could I but stand where Moses stood, and view the landscape o'er I'd see the Turk vamoose for good, from Jordan's sacred shore. The rose that blooms beneath the hill, must shortly fade away, And bo the Turk, with lust to kill, must perish and decay Too long, too long, he's hung around, a blemish in thlB sphere; Hark! from the tombs a doleful sound tells that his end is near! The Turk still trots on weary limbs, and leaves much dust behind; And, as we read, forgotten hymns, unbidden, come to mind. The hillsides and the towns and streams knew ONE, long, long, ago, Who has inspired the hopes and dreams, that all good Christians know. It Is the soil of hallowed works, and it Is good to see Such moral lepers as the Turk, chased out of Galilee. Oh, may they be forever banned, forever and a day, From CanaanV, fair and happy land, where their possessions lay By a Soldier Boy, per G. F.

Colonies may be packed In groups oi four or more stands, sur rounded by a large frame filled with sawdust and covered with a water proof lid." The exact type of protection de pends upon the system of locating the colonies followed by the Individual bee-keeper, points out Professor Lov ett.
