What do you think you can do—scare ME?” {P r i control factors which include birds, | Parasites and the weather are not al- Ways complete checks on insect de- | velopment. Many of the birds in- clude insects as a large portion of their food, but when serious insect outbreaks occur in sections of the country the birds are not present in sufficient numbers to cause an ef- fective control. Most of the harmful insects that harbor in North Dakota and the country as a whole reproduce at an astounding rate, especially under fav- orable food supply and weather con- ditions. A good instance of this re- markable rate of insect reproduc- tion may be illustrated by reciting an example of the green bug which at times has been a pest in some areas of North Dakota. Under ideal con- ditions one developed female in the course of three summer months could have a total of 731.000,000,000 green bug offspring. Outstanding Insect Pests The outstanding crop insect pests in North Dakota for the past few years have been the wire worm, cut- worm, wheat stem saw fly, potato beetle, blister beetle, army worm, grasshopper, aphids (plant lice), white grub and the corn ear worm. Those insects which have bothered the small fruits are red spider, leaf hopper, currant worm, currant aphid, currant fruit fly, gooseberry worm. Taspberry cane borer and saw fly. The cutworm, cabbage worm and maggot, cabbage aphid, plant bug, various Species of flea beetle, cucumber beetle, beet web worm, cricket and onion maggot are insects that bother garden vegetables. Livestock are pestered by the com- mon ox-bot fly, horn fly, stable fly, cattle louse, sheep tick, horse bot fly, gad fly, hog louse and poultry louse. Insects that bother stored grain are the various species of meal moth and grain weevil and beetle. A series of articles on the habits ‘and control measures of the most troublesome insects will appear from time to time, according to the plans of Mr. Munro. An Austrian society has been formed to condemn use of gas and aircraft in warfare. —————_—_——_—_+ 1 _Weather Report | —— ¢ ‘Temperature at 7 a. m. «. 32 Highest yesterday 51 F Lowest last night o* 32 | Precipitation to 7 a. m.

W. Oberlin, agricultural ex- tension engineer at the North Dakota Agricultural college. “Investigations made by the In- stitute of Makers of Explosives show that about 80 per cent of these acci- dents to children occur in rural or semi-rural districts," Mr. Oberlin says. “Some of the children are killed and hundreds have to go through life with faces, arms and legs. “A blasting cap is a copper shell about one-fourth of an inch thick and an inch or two long, half full of ful- minate of mercury. This is one of the | 9% mystery special now showing at most sensitive of explosives in com- mon use, and the explosion of a single cap will blow a hole through a steel plate one-sixteenth of an inch thick, and can easily blow ol? a child's hand. “Blasting caps are too dangerous for children to play with. When a child picks one up and starts to in- vestigate, it is a miracle if he does not get hurt.” f AT THE MOVIES { e ¢ CAPITOL THEATRE “Cisco Kid” had eluded capture, even though there was a price of $5,000 on his head, dead or alive, not only because he could shoot five-sixths of a second faster than any sheriff, ranger or soldier in the service, but also because he rode a pony that knew every cowpath in the mesquite and pear thickets in the old south- | Franklin Pangborn. west. Sergeant Mickey Dunn of the 17th cavalry was piqued because his colonel berated him for letting the Cisco Kid run wild. He determined to capture him, and do it alone. .

The Kid overheard their plan and proceeded to do some plan- ning himself. What happens forms one of the most sensational denoucments that} ever has been seen in a picture. The picture is “In Old Arizona,” Fox Film, the first feature length film drama to be made entirely with Fox Movie- tone. The three featured players, Edmund | result of work which was given them member of the big supporting cast. All speak their parts throughout the film. The story and dialogue are by Tom Barry and the direction is by Irving Cummings and Raoul Walsh. The pic- ture is coming to the Capitol theatre Monday. ELTINGE THEATRE In no picture yet made has there becn quite such convincing demon- tion of drama in everyday life as in “On Trial,” the latest big all talk- the Eltinge for Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The dramatic power of the story is brought out with an effectiveness which has never been approached by previous pictures. Courtroom scenes of the great murder trial, around which “On Trial” revolves, present a com- plete re-creation of the proceedings, which formerly would have been im- long succession of preparatory scenes —so many, in fact, as to completely slow up the action of the story. But with the present play every motion plays its part in heightening the in- terest in the scenes and in presenting the sensational trial with all its amaz- ing turns and twists. The distinguished cast of “On Trial” includes Pauline Frederick, Bert Ly- tell, Lois Wilson, Holmes Herbert, Ja- son Robards, Richard Tucker, Johnny Arthur, Vondell Darr, Edmund Breese, Edward Martindel, Fred Kelsey, and On Sale at Last—Lehigh Lignite Briquettes for furnace, fireplace, range or laundry stove.

He is lured away from her by PAMELA JUDSON, who tells him that Mildred is try- ing to marry her brother, HAR- OLD, for his money. Harold loves Mildred but he is deadly in fear of a gambler, HUCK CONNOR, who has acheck which he forged. Huck is infatuated with Pamela, who plays with him to make Ste- phen jealous. Believing that Mildred is a cheap little fortune seeker, Ste- phen permits Pamela to an- nounce their engagement when she tells him that is the only way she can break with Huck. In- furiated, Huck frames Stephen for the theft of an auto and plants evidence in his room which causes his arrest. Pamela breaks the en- gagement, but Mildred goes to sce him in jail and promises help. Mildred had got a confession from Harold once that Huck was the cause of his fear and that he was going to “get Armitage” to keep him from marrying Pamela. with this as a clue after Ste- phen's arrest, Mildred determines to force Harold to reveal what he knows about Huck. Meanwhile Huck calls on Har- old and makes new demands, Harold defies him and tries to fight. Huck knocks the boy un- conscious and hurls the body through the window to death be- low. He makes a getaway and the death is called accidental, but the police find a fingerprint on the boy's belt buckle which makes them suspicious. ake NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXXIII Duke Broggan told Huck that the Police did not regard Harold Judson’s death as cither an accident or sui- cide. Huck sat before him in his office and looked at him without so much as a flicker of his eyelids as he asked Duke what he thought that had to do with him.

The pageant, which will have 88 girls in the cast, is to’ be called the “Snow Prince” and was written by Miss Ruth E. McGurk of the college faculty. She had learned of it the night it happened. Driven nearly frantic by Harold's failure to come to her as he had promised, she telephoned after several hours of waiting and was told by the operator who recognized her voice, that he was dead. Her mother came upon her a few minutes later, sitting blank faced, with her hands gripped on the in- strument as though frozen there. Mrs. Lawrence cried out in alarm. Mildred’s nerves seemed suddenly to melt as her mother rushed toward her.

He listened in silence. “You must appeal to your family and get a lawyer now,” Mildred said to him when she finished telling of Harold's subjugation to Huck. Stephen looked at her a bit hope- lessly, she thought. She had expected him to be excited. As a matter of fact he was excited, but her story had presented sides to him that had es- caped Mildred. Besides, he suspected that she had not told him everything. They were facing each other on the hard bench in his cell.

A few questions put to Pamela had convinced him that Mildred was a heartless fortune hunter. He had no doubt she wanted to urge some money claim upon him. . He knew what wealthy men had to deal with. Prob- ably Harold had promised this girl to marry her. Mildred was in despair. She could guess the truth. She knew that Pamela must have lied about her to bring about her discharge from the hotel in the first place. Very likely she had added to her story since her father's return.

For a few seconds Stephen evaded her direct glance; then he looked up. “What can I do?” he asked simply. Mildred stood up. A lump in her throat choked her. Stephen stood, too, and struggled with a temptation to tell her why he couldn't act. He hated to have her think he didn’t appreciate all she had done for him. “I think I understand,” Mildred said, striving to subdue the catch in her voice. “You don't want to drag Pamela's name into it.” Stephen started and opened his mouth to speak; then closed it to a firm, hard line.

Mildred’s unsteady chin went up several inches. “If I can prove that Harold was murdered I'll do it,” she said fiercely. Stephen grasped her by the shoul- ders. “Keep out of it, please,” he begged. “I'll wire dad for some money and engage a lawyer.
