RESIDENTS ASKED
TO WATCH PLANTS
FOR BUG PESTS
An appeal for Portland people-to
examine their plants and vines care
fully and report If they, find traces
of earwigs was " made Friday "y
Commie, loner A. L. "Barbur, who is
organizing the campaign to combat
the pests that; iare sweeping through
Walnut Park and threaten to spread
all over the east side. 't
; So far, according to the commissioner,
the earwigs are known to be extremely
destructive in a district covering about
Six square blocks, and; they' have been
found plentifully scattered through an'
area of about 36 square blocks. The in
sects 'have been'' traced over irregular
areas much greater in size and every
where, so far observed, they are on Uvs
'Increase. - j ;
Commissioner Barbur i. said that the
press of business in the sanitary divi
sion might keep Inspector J. W. Jor.es
from taking charge in the field on the
offensive against the earwigs, and : in
this event an expert' entomologist will
be brought . from . Oregon Agricultural
college. i ;' - .
Carbur has written to Seattle for de
tails of the plague in that city in 1915,
and means used to combat it. He ha
also written the department of agricul
ture at Washington forf information.
For those who have not seen them, the
earwigs are insects about three fourths
of an inch long, looking much like big
black ants, but with enormous horns or
claws on their tails, like beetles. They
are in the open only in the night time
and by day burrow inlo the earth or
seek dark cracks and holes.

GOUGING
ASSERTS MARSHALL
(Continued From Pac Oim
is utter folly to believe that it can 'be
changed by law. We must seek the peace
Of America; seek the prosperity of
America and seek the fulfillment of the
ideals of America and make a real broth
erhood of men. 1 -
"But with each individual trying to
see how much money he can gouge out
of the other gouger, and the gouger
trying to: see .bow much he can gouge
out of the gougee, we will not attain
our real position.
"I lam for all kinds of remedial leg
islation, but law cannot reshape the
policy of America ; the duty rests on
the ghcmlders of - every citlien.
"It is more for us to care about get
ting down to the real basis of democ
racy. What we need is men working
with their hearts. Anybody with money
can hire a man to work with his
hands or brain, but the man who
works with r the heart is 'the kind of
a man most needed today.
"America is destined ; to rule this
world, but rule with , a rod of peace,
not a rod of military power. . and this
can be attained only by reaching an
understanding of the responsibility that
rests on the shoulders of each Individ'
u'al and by seeing the light of Chris
tianity.
"Through the last four years the prob
lem of securing rights has' occupied the
minds of Americans. We secured our
last rights on the battlefield of France.
Sow we must aim not to secure rights,
but to discharge; duties." i " ; ,;
In conclusion Marshall said lhat with
his retirement from public; life close at
hand be hoped that his name would .be
remembered because he was a faithful
American, and Christian, who. during his
term of office, made every; effort to dis
charge faithfully every duty assigned
him.i l

my appreciation of the great effort and
effective assistance rendered by the
friends of Sheriff Til Taylor in returning
the-murderers to jail. I want to thank
every one, especially those who took the
more humble parte, standing watch upon
the roads and at the stations ; and the
people of Umatilla county have my deep
gratitude for their forbearance and good
citizenship during the trying hours when
the murderers were first returned to jalL
Respectfully,
k W. it. TAYLOR. Sheriff.

years In public service.
