MEALYBUG ONE OF WORST PARASITES Sap-sucking parasites, of which the mealybug is one of the worst forms, cause untold damage to fruit growers of California. A recent partial survey in Orange county showed 217 groves infested with mealybug. Spraying and fumigating are helpful each season, but orchardists do not realize the necessity of removing the source of this serious trouble. That source is very largely the Argentine ant. A bulletin issued by the U. S. department of agriculture states: "An aid in the distribution of nphids and scale insects on citrus and other trees; remove young scales to new territory; establish colonies of certain species, and appear to have become caretakers for all kinds of scales and plant life. In Los Angeles county, where the trees are kept free from other scales and vigorously growing, the mealybugs increase tremendously as a result of ant attendance. There is reason to believe that the Argentine ant may be an active agent in the spread of diseases through its habit of visiting various parts of the tree, and particularly freshly-made wounds, for the purpose of feeding. It appears to introduce gummosis and wood-rotting fungi. In this way more rapidly than could otherwise be the case. It may act as a conveyer of diseases of bacterial origin, such as the citrus canker, by carrying the causal organisms about its legs and body." The government entomologists have worked out a formula with arsenic as the active poison, which has been effective in eradicating the Argentine ant. This poison has been combined with a syrup, as a rule, but the care and attention necessary to keep the syrup cases in proper condition is a drawback to its use. Syrups will become foul, mold, crystallize, spoil and leak from the cans to harm the tree trunks. But a gelatin has been developed by H. W. McSpadden of Los Angele. Red Cross Aid to Disabled Ex-Service Men Increasing DISABLED VETERANS IN HOSPITALS RECEIVE INDIVIDUAL AID FROM RED CROSS WORKERS Washington—Five years after the armistice ending the World War, reports of American Red Cross services in behalf of the men who wore the uniform of the United States refute any belief which might exist that the wounds of that conflict are nearly healed. In urging an increase in membership enrollment during the Red Cross Roll Call opening on Armistice Day, Nov. 11, facts convincingly supported by authoritative statistics are issued by the national organization showing that assist- of the government physicians nurses by helping to make patient contented, by allay worry over his family, furnish personal services and provide recreation and entertainment, an increasingly large work to in this paramount activity.

This poison has been combined with a syrup, as a rule, but the care and attention necessary to keep the syrup came in proper condition is a drawback to its use. Syrups will become foul, mold, crystallize, spoil and leak from the cans to harm the tree trunks. But a gelatin has been developed by H. W. McSpadden of Los Angeles, a chemist and entomologist, which overcomes all of these detriments and is guaranteed by the manufacturer to remain fresh at least nine months. The gelatin also holds the arsenic in suspension and the poison is more uniformly disseminated through the mass. It is also a more appetizing food and is more readily carried to the neats by the worker ants where the males, females and young will feed on it and thus produce extermination of the whale colony. It works slowly, requiring from four to 48 hours to kill and some weeks to clean up a colony as a rule, but when the ants are unable to get their natural "honeydew" food from the secretion of the methylbug, and other sap-sucking parasites, they will greedily eat the gelatin. From October to about June 1st is the best time to place the gelatin in the groves, one can to a tree, where it is ready at all times for the worker ants when their natural food is not available. It is claimed the cost is about $15 per acre for the gelatin, which is certainly cheap insurance against the dangerous ant. An compared with the cost of fertilization, it means very little expense to the grove owner, for once installed the gelatin needs no further attention. No cleaning, refilling and replacing as with syrup is necessary; in fact, the first cost is the last cash outlay, and with the ants gone the mealybug and other parasites will also disappear. DROPS PACKAGE; SHADES OF B. V. D. WHEELING, Nov. 20.—A certain pretty girl, wearing a pretender fur coat, will avoid carrying moonshine or home brew wrapped in newspapers in the future. She stood on one of the principal street corners one evening recently. The package under her arm gave no clue to the nature of its contents. A car hove in sight. She stepped from the curb to the safety zone. As she did so the package fell to the street. There was a crash. Bystanders laughed. Then a strong odor reviving peignant memories of pre-dawn. LA HABRA, Nov. 20 (Special). One of the most attractive weddings of the week was that of Miss Hazel Cook, the only daughter of C. O. Cook of N. Walnut ave., La Habra, and Meril Tower of Santa Paula, but formerly of La Habra, at high noon Saturday, with the Rev. H. H. Stranburg officiating. The double ring ceremony was used. Palms and ferns formed a pleasing background for the bridal party, while the palms were used in an arch effect over the windows, and tall blue candles furnished soft illumination. Preceding the ceremony, Miss Julia Culp of Brea, a college friend of the bride's from Mills college, sang "A Song of Thanksgiving," followed by Mendelssohn's "Wedding March," played by David Wright of Anaheim. Miss Cook chose for her wedding gown a tailored suit of gray, small gray velvet hat with a soft drooping plume, with a coralage bouquet of orchids, lilies of the valley, and violets. Miss Margaret Logie as maid of honor, wore a suit of navy blue and small hat to match and French corsage of orchids, sweet peas, salmon pink rosebuds and blue bachelor buttons. The bridesmaids were dressed in the same manner and were: Misses Robin Clark of Pasadena, Helen Culp and Laura Culp of Brea, and Frankle May Taylor of La Habra. All of the attendants with nurses by helping to make patient contented, by allay worry over his family, furnish personal services and provide recreation and entertainment, an increasingly large work to in this paramount activity. In this activity $5,866,255 was pended by Red Cross Chapel and the national organization ing the last year. One problem in which the Cross alone is meeting a financial demand is that of the translational ex-service man and his family who must be cared while traveling from place place. In personal loans grants to these travelers $334.71 was spent during the year. The variety of Red Cross service also embraces straightening complicated claims, supplying reational equipment to veterinary training centers, furnishing tal loans to blind veterans that able them to begin business, he tal service, medical social service information service, recreation entertainment.

Then a strong odor reviving poignant memories of pre-Volstead days permeated the atmosphere. The girl blushed and hastily boarded the car. Shop Early—MARRIAGES FEW DESPITE BEAUTY LONDON, Nov. 20.—Lower Halstow, in Kent county, considered by connorsseurs to breed the prettiest girls in the south of England, has not heard the sound of wedding bells since August last year, and local worthies are much perturbed. Rev. Olive, Lower Halstow's vicar, hints that the possible cause is bashfulness on the part of the men folk of the village, but unromantic statisticians explain the absence of wedding bells by pointing out that the birth rate of girls has been much lower than that of boys within the last 20 years. Harry Iverson, a fraternity brother from the Univ. of Calif., was the best man. The ushers were Edward Stewart, Boyd Welin, both of Berkeley; Harold Leach of Santa Paula, and Edgar Herman of La Habra. Immediately following the ceremony, the bridal party left for juncheon at the Santa Ana Inn, Santa Anas.

Cook, a pioneer of La Habra, and has resided here since childhood. Miss Cook was quite popular among the younger set of La Habra, and is a graduate of the Fullerton Union High school and Junior college. Until recently, she has been a student at Mills college. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Tower of Long Beach, but recently of La Habra. He is also a graduate of Fullerton Union High school and Junior college, received his degree from the University of California last year.

DISABLED IN INCREASING COMPLAINTS FOR SPEEDING GROW Excess speed complaints continued to pile up today, with further arrests over the weak end. Dist. Atty. A. P. Nelson declared the complaints were being pressed as rapidly as possible, and that many of the suspects had pled guilty, making a tryout of the evidence unnecessary. Nelson added, however, that he would be glad to have a case which would test the new law. Between 20 or 40 complaints have been filed in superior court, since the state traffic squad resumed activity, and most of those still are pending. The law says that evidence obtained by the use of speed traps is not admissible. Justice J. B. Cox already has refused even to grant a hearing in such cases. Meanwhile, county revenues from fines, which had dwindled to little or nothing, are picking up a bit. Shop Early—PINCHOT COCKTAIL HAS NO "KICK" PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 20. — The "Pinchot Cocktail," named after the extra dry governor of Pennsylvania, has made its appearance at auto shows here that have remained open in defiance of the 48-hour closing edict served upon them some weeks ago. This latest development in the battle of the bars (state and refreshment varieties) has been so named, according to bartenders, because there's "no kick to it."

You will find that $1 each is not far off the actual cost. Allowing 100 chicks at $5¢ each, mortality 20 per cent at 22 weeks' old, when you dispose of the cockerels at 30¢ each, brooding and raising the balance on the pullets, say 40, as 50 per cent of chicks are generally cockeels, to six months' old, the above cost will not be far out of the way. Now if you can get the pullets to produce eight dozen eggs each by the time they are one year old, you have made a nice profit. But to do this, you must cull from the start and keep on culling. Take out the poor, sickly chicks right away and at 12 weeks' old sort out all the poorly developed birds and get rid of them, so that when the pullets are six months of age you have a uniform flock. There is more profit from 50 well-developed, properly culled birds than there ever will be from 100 medium ones. Remember, the three great essentials in successful poultry keeping are feeding, weeding and brooding.

Boston is going to battle fires by means of charts of the burning building. Every district fire chief will be equipped with charts of the buildings in his district, made at his direction. Each chart will show elevator wells, lofts, stairways, blind and connecting passages, storage space and the amount of material stored. This innovation will be used in other large cities, and is known in insurance circles as the "high value sections." Not only will it aid the department to stop many fires at their start, but will also prevent the loss of life. Commissioner T. A. Glynn and Fire Chief John C. Taber are in accord on the idea. Another feature under consideration is that of a movable "fire headquarters."

Announcement of the government's plan was one of the revelations made by Premier Stanley Baldwin in his address before the recent meeting of the conservative party at Plymouth. It was hailed with satisfaction in naval circles and also at the various shipyards, where anticipation of work has lightened the gloom resulting from industrial depression. Four cruisers, according to Premier Baldwin's announcement, are to be built. Each cruiser will be of not more than 10,000 tons displacement, and will have a speed of 34 knots per hour. Each will cost more than $7,000,000, and it is anticipated that it will take two years to complete the quartet of vessels. In naval circles it is asserted that the building of these cruisers will fill a long-felt need of the British fleet. They are designed to replace what is known as the "county class" type of cruisers—a type that is now just about extinct. Originally there were ten of these "county class" ships, but most of them were destroyed during the war or scrapped as obsolete.
