CHARGED WITH I GRANDLARCENY Wiley Slusher Arrested Yesterday For Stealing Auto In Fort Wayne Wiley Slusher, age 19 years, was arrested at the home of his father, three miles east of this city, about 5:30 o’clock yesterday evening, by Sheriff John linker, on a charge of stealing an automobile. Slusher was wanted in Fort Wayne and Sheriff Bobilya, of Allen county, came after him last night. Sheriff linker received a call from Sheriff Bobilya yesterday afternoon, asking him to locate Slusher. Sheriff Baker soon learned where the youth lived and when he arrived at the Slusher home, the boy was preparing to leave. Ho had the Ford automobile, said to have been stolen in Fort Wayne. The car was brought to this city and returned to Fort Wayno by Sheriff Bobilya. Slusher is said to have been working with Ralph Mallo. 20, of Sheldon, in stealing automobiles in this part of the state. Mallo was arrested by Sheriff Bobilya last Tuesday, after a 50-mile automobile chase, in which the fugitive was driving a stolen car. When arrested yesterday evening, Slusher claimed that he had purchased the car, but had failed to get ownership papers yet. He said he knew the car was a stolen car, but said Molla had stollen it. Molla was lentcnced in the Allen circuit court yesterday, to serve a term of from me to fourteen years in the state reorraatory. He was also charged with •ontributing to the delinquency ot a minor girl. Slusher will face a charge of grand arceny, and if convicted or if he deads guilty, likely will receive a tenteuce similar to tbofone given to Mallo. He is said to have admitted ■ontributing to the delinquency of the ninor girl in Fort Wayne, also. , o This Year Is 17-Year Locust Year In Indiana The year 1923 is a 17- year locust /ear. in Indiana and fourteen other Rates east of the Mississippi these insects will come forth from their underground homes which they have inlabited for seventeen years and the nales will fill the woods with their ihrill songs. The females are dumb. The insects are professionally known ts the periodical cicadas. The states in which they will be leard and seen this year are Georgia, llinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, •lew York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia and he District of Columbia. Not all parts of the states mentioned will be iffected, the distribution being decidedly local. Periodical cicades somewhere withn the range of their general distribuion nearly every year. This is in igreement, however, with their periidical character, as is has been found hat they all belong to large swarms which reappear every 13 or 17 years. More than one swarm may inhabit a liven locality, causing an apparent reurn of the insects at less regular intervals. This year's swarm is of the rue 17-year variety. It is probably the second largest of ill the swarms, ami one of the most .videly distributed. It has also historic nterest in that it is the identical iwarni which was first observed by Europeans in America. Colonies of he insects around Massachusetts Bay ittracted the attention of the early white settlers in 1634, and mention of heir appearance is to be found in books published some time later. Their direct descendants in the 17th generation will be heard near Plymouth and at Barnstable within a few days. Periodical cicadas are growing less numerous in many localities owing to he cutnig down of forests. The eggs trees, and if no trees are available the propagation is largely prevented. Birds are enimies of the insects, especially the English sparrows. The insects cause no permanent damage to mature trees, but many leriously injure young trees or nurscry slock. No remedy is practicable against them in large numbers over large areas, but orchards and shrubs may be partly protected by thorough had-picking, dusting with pycthrum powder when the insects have just emerged from the shells in which they emerged from the ground, or spraying with kerosene emulsion at about the same time. A public school has been established on Hoover's lisland, a tiny bit of land in the Susquehanna River below Sun- . fljry, Pa., for the benefit of seven pupils. It is said to be the smallest public school in the stats.

The local team is much stronger than at the first of the season. o Housewife Becomes New Woman “All of our best doctors had given me up. I was unable to leave my bed for 16 weeks and was yellow as a pumpkin, besides the terrible stomach pains I suffered. Our druggist advised my husband to try Mayr’s Wonderful Remedy and it has saved my life. I am a new woman now.” It is a simple, harmless preparation that removes the catarrhal mucus from the intestinal tract and allays the inflammation which causes practically all stomach, liver and intestinal ailments, including appendicitis. One dose will convince or money refunded. For sale by Holthouse Drug Co., and good druggists everywhere. Several from here will go to Bluffton tomorrow evening to attend the wedding of Miss Marjorie Kunkle to Mr. Harry Brown.
