WARRING
FOR PEACE
Early last spring somebody told
Miss Lucinda Hillman that decorators
charged less in midsummer so she
promptly decided to delay her house
cleaning until after the Fourth There
was a trifle of grumbling but Miss Lu
cinda stood firm and not until a sul
try evening of recent date did she
warn the members of her family that
the calciminers were upon them
Theres one thing I want under
stood she added Mother is to have
absolute peace during this confusion
I shall keep her room undisturbed un
til the rest of the house is in perfect
order and then she can go out into
some quiet clean place while her
room is being done
Mrs Hillman looked up with the
gentle protest which has succeeded
her manner of authority since she
handed over the housekeeping to her
eldest daughter
I always have the decorators be
gin in my room she said
No doubt was the reply You
never looked out for your own com
fort
But I like to have mine done first
insisted the mother
Leave that to me Ive been read
ing a splendid article called Keep a
Nook for Mother and Im going by
that All you need to do is to stay
on your throne and keep calm
Even a queen has some rights
Luce her married brother put in
I dont relish seeing mother bossed
Hush Sam murmuret Sams new
wife who was not new enough to be
ignorant of the effect this remark
would have on Lucinda
The end of it was that before Lu
cindas wounded feelings could be
soothed her mother was pleading al
most with tears to have her room
done last
Accordingly after breakfast next
morning Lucinda began making her
mothers bed
Lucinda called Sams wife from
the foot of the stairs the calcimin
ers want to see you about the color
for the dining room
Theyll have to wait was the ma
jestic answer as Lucinda turned the
mattress
No hurry about that bed Mrs
Hillman urged leaning forward un
easily from the rocker where Lucinda
had placed her Those men get 60
cents an hour
I cant helD It if they do The
first thing is to have you in peace in
an orderly room
The mother fidgeted but Lucinda
finished dusting and even brought in
a vase of flowers before she left
As Mrs Hillman sat there alone
brooding a little sadly over past years
of activity Sams wife peeped in up
on her
All alone she inquired Til
bring in my work
Within two minutes she was back
again blithely scattering white ravel
ings over the clean rug as she spread
out the tablecloth she was hemming
and exhibited its pattern An ani
mated discussion on table linen arose
and in the midst of it Lucinda opened
the door
Mercy was her comment as she
turned back to the broom closet and
reappeared with the carpet sweeper
Im straining every nerve to keep
this one room in perfect order for the
sake of the peaceful effect on mother
she explained to Sams wife as she
slammed the sweeper against a table
leg Do you mind if I set all your
things on one chair And couldnt you
work with the tablecloth folded It
looks so cluttered Why mother
she broke off in annoyance how did
all those dusty pictures get in here
I moved then in was the apolo
getic answer I happened to see
them In the hall and I was afraid the
frames would be marred with all those
ladders and boards The passage is
so narrow you know
Lucinda compressed her lips and
moved the pictures back into the hall
like an amateur whirlwind Then she
closed the door on two ruffied looking
women and wondered why it was im
possible for her mother to behave like
some of the serene old persons she
know
This was the beginning By the
end of the third day Luclndas war
for peace had roused the fighting
spirit of every person in the house
save one and several neighbors Up
stairs in the front room the gentle
hearted old mother had- taken to her
bed worried to the breaking point
by strained relations in the household
Now that evening had come Miss
Lucinda stood at the foot of her moth
ers bed a sense of Injustice clouding
her face
No you shall not be turned out of
your room while youre sick she was
saying You neednt suggest going
Into my bed tomorrow so that the
men can work in here Everything
else Is done of course but they caa
just take their pails and ladders
away and come back when you are
yourself again
But I want my room done pro
tested her mother
Mother lie down Dont excite
yourself Cant you see that youre
i ni r ha nnt strone enough to plan these
x i i n tviincra Were vou are worn out with
levs Honev and Tar for coughs and STSSSl
colds None genuine without the
TiPRd silence followed It was
Bea Hive Bemember the name Fo
not
until Lucinda had turned away that a
grim smile flickered across the old

NOT A CANADIAN INVASION
Growth of Grasshoppers Entirely From
American Population Which Is Fat
tening on Rich Alfalfa Crops of
Mountain West Legislative Aid to
Be Asked In War of Farmers
Colorado is aroused over the grass
hopper menace so much so In fact
that the farmers have called a state
convention to strike at the roots of
the danger or rather at the roots of
the grass to eliminate the danger So
much in earnest are the farmers re
garding the increase of the grasshop
per population that the Colorado leg
islature will be asked to enact a law
for the extermination of the pests
There is no danger of a repetition of
the scourge of the seventies in Nebras
ka Kansas and the Dakotas The lo
custs of that day were long winged
grasshoppers which breed in the north
and west in Montana and neighboring
states and also in Canada That in
vasion was doubtless due to an over
production of the Insect in its native
territory which led to an exhaustion
of the food supply The flights were
due to a search for new feeding
grounds During those times the in
vaders laid Immense numbers of eggs
many of which hatched but the young
found themselves unable to adapt
themselves to the conditions of the
newly discovered land They were
weak and very few reached maturity
After the first breeding the species
died out
The long winged grasshoppers were
reported to be present in westernNe
braska and Kansas as late as 1S05
but recent examinations have thrown
doubt over the identity of the insect
found It is certain that this grass
hopper has not been taken in Colorado
during the last fifteen years
Local Hopper Increasing
The grasshopper to be swatted is the
home grown article which is taking
advantage of the prosperity of the
country and is living off the luxuri
ant crops and Increasing by the mil
lion The juicy succulent alfalfa
whose acreage is increasing many fold
is about the best thing the grasshop
per has struck in many a year and it
not only lives on the tender stems in
summer but it converts the roots Into
a great incubator for hatching young
Grasshoppers says S R Johnson
of the Colorado agricultural experi
ment station are like the poor al
ways with us They are present in all
parts of the United States and every
year exact their toll from almost every
crop that grows In spite of the fact
that they have been so universally de
structive and have been fought by so
many methods their depredations still
continue and it can be truthfully said
that little progress has been made to
ward their control Every year brings
reports of destructive visitations in
greater or smaller areas Just what
the damage is can only be guessed
The sum total is doubtless millions
each year
In Colorado a campaign is now be
ing conducted against the pest The
campaign was first suggested by C
L Fitch potato expert of the Colorado
experiment station It is due largely
to his untiring energy that the move-
ment is assuming logical and effective
tion of the accounts of L M Higgins
sheriff and continued the same
throughout the day and decided to
conclude the same at the next meet
ing of the board
On motion the board adjourned to
meet February 14th 1911

Arousing the farmers to concerted
efforts of control
Enlightening them as to the most
intelligent and economical methods of
control
I Formulating grasshopper legislation
of such a nature that the farmers in lo-
cal districts may co operate and have
1 the work of each individual effective
Legislative Aid Sought
The legislature will be asked to
pass some form of grasshopper law
which will make co operative effort
possible This law will make it pos
sible for neighboring farmers to form
grasshopper districts of a few miles in
extent These districts will be in
charge of committees and supervisors
chosen by the farmers All those with
in the district will be obliged to clean
out the infested localities and fight the
hoppers under direction Means will
be provided so that the public places
such as ditch banks roadsides and
waste lands may be cleaned up at pub
lic or general expense
The best winter remedy Is the de
struction of the eggs Egg pods which
are broken open and exposed during
the winter the longer the better are
almost surely destroyed before the
hatching period arrives When eggs
are buried very deeply in the ground
the young are seldom able to make
their way to the surface even if the
egga hatch
The best method to employ is plow
ing Plow deeply where possible and
in such a way as to turn the sod com
pletely over It will be well to har
row the plowed sod very thoroughly so
that the cracks where the young might
crawl out will be filled up If shallow
plowing is resorted to the ground
should be thoroughly harrowed in or
der to break up the pods and expose
the eggs to the attacks of birds and
mice and the effects of the weather
which will wet and dry freeze and
thaw them In succession and kill the
