IH WAR cm INSECTS
Flathead Youngsters Will
Dig for Grasshopper
Egg Deposits.
SITUATION NOT BAD
Insects Found by County
Agent Campbell Were of
the Harmless Variety.
All rules of civilized warfare will lie
forgotten In the war which school chil
dren in communities on the Flathead
reservation begun yesterday. Prussian
ruthlessness will be outdone. In a des
perate effort to exterminate their I'no,
the young warriors will destroy even
the coming generations.
Armed with spades the school chil
dren are to dig around fence posts in
the wheat fields for grasshopper eggs.
By crushing as many egg deposits as
possible before hot weather comes the
children hope to be able to avert in a
large measure the grasshopper plague
which threatens Flathead farmers this
year.
The children were trained for this
war by J. ft. Campbell, county agri
culturist, and H. V. Seamons, entomol
ogist from Montana State College, who
returned yesterday from a trip through
the reservation country. The two men
went to the Flathead to investigate re
ports that grasshoppers had appeared
there.
No Hoppers Found.
No hoppers of a dangerous sort were
found. Mr. Campbell said yesterday.
The creatures which did great damage
on the reservation last fall do not hi
bernate, but lay eggs in the ground.
These eggs have not yet hatched.
The only mature hoppers found by the
investigators were of a hibernating,
harmless kind.
The grain-destroying grasshoppers
will appear with the first warm weath
er, however. To encourage the de
struction of eggs the two men dug up
several deposits and showed them to
children in all the schools. Instructing
them at the same time how to find
and ruin the eggs.
Next week, by which time the grass
hoppers probably will have begun to
appear, Mr. Campbell and Mrs. Sea
tnons will return and give lectures on
grasshopper - poisoning at Moiesc.
Round Butte and D'Aste.
At D'Aste. Mr. Campbell said yes
terday. the situation Is worse than at
Round Butte, where trouble was ex
pected to be greatest.
CARPENTERS PRAISE
BUSINESS MEN'S MOVE
Resolution Commends 6
o'Ciock Closing.
Missoula merchants who have agreed
to close their stores at 6 o'clock on
Saturday nights have been commended
hv the Missoula union of the United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners.
Resolutions recently passed by the lo
cal indorse the early closing move and
"condemn such establishments as
agreed to conform with the early clos
ing and have failed to do so."
The carpenters' action accorda with
a recent decision of the county trades
and labor council, which considered
the early closing move some time ago.
The carpenters' resolutions follow:
"be it resolved, that the carpenters
of Bocal No. L'S of the city of Mis
soula, stato of Montana, in regular
session do hereby indorse the 6 o'clock
closing on Saturday night of all mer
cantile establishments in the city of

"And be it further resolved that we
do further condemn such establish
ments as agreed to conform with the
early closing and have failed to abide
by the same."

YOUNG AMERICA'
IMBIBES SPIRIT
OF TIMES
Ancnt anti-German sentiment,
A day or so ago the teacher of
the seventh grade of the Darby
school read nn article to her pupils
on thç Black forest of Germany
and exhibited a picture of the same,
suggesting that it would look nice
tiling upon tlie wall of the school
room.
Tlie torch was applied to a pow
der keg of prolest.
'Burn It! Don't hang it in our
room! We'll burn it!" came tlie
unanimous expression of opinion.
Needless to say that tlie pieUir«,
despite the teacher's protest that it
represented art and not war, was
not suspended in that room as an
adornment.

MSSOUU HIM) MUST
HAVE NEW IMIS
Organization Plans for Big
Dance on May 16 to Help
Swell This Fund.
VINTAGE IS OF 1906
Eleven Years of Use Too
Much for Cloth—Desire to
Look Well as Play Well.
Eleven years ngo the Missoula band
was outfitted with smart new uni
forms. As clothes go, that's a loffg
time. Mrs. Missoula Band tuts de
cided that it is unite long enough. No
longer, she lias decreed, will the shab
by uniforms of 1906 be turned and
patched and knitted. Hence the fol
lowing announcement, made yesterday:
"The Missoula band will give a ben
efit dance in the pavilion in Greenough
park on the evening of May 16."
Yon see, the band simply must have
new uniforms. The wearing out of
elbows and knees (long, long ago It
happened) was bad enough, but the
wearing out of wifely patience is an
emergency matter. But one thing can
he done: new uniforms must be pur
chased.
The receipts from the dance on May
16 will go into a fund for new clothes.
If possible the bandsmen want to re
tire the old uniforms early this sum
mer. Eleven years of strenuous serv
ice, including numerous trips to state
fairs, fraternal conventions, political
meetings, Stampedes, track meets and
what not have left marks which Direc
tor Lawrenson's men think unbecom
ing a live city's good band.
"Tlie Missoula band," said one mem
ber yesterday, "is the only one in the
city which gives regular public con
certs throughout the summer without
charge or subsidy. If the people of
the city appreciate ttiis fact they may
show their gratitude by coming to the
dance."
A concert lasting about an hour will
bo given before the dance on May 16.
It will begin at 7:45. The ball Itself
will be managed by Wentz & Jones, a
firm which has been conducting dances
at the Elite hall during the winter.
