others and today is placing on the
market the finest laundry starch ever
offered the public under our new and
original method.
Ask your grocer for a coupon book

All grocers are authorized to give
ten large packages of RED CROSS
STARCH, with twenty Of the Shakes
peare pictures or ten of the Twentieth

A Denver dispatch declares that the
army worm is creating havoc with the
crops about Burlington in Kit Carson
county, Colorado. The worms have
evinced a propensity never before
charged to them. They have invaded
the residences Of some Of the farmers,
and in some cases the houses have
been given up to the invaders. Mr..
Chapman, living near Burlington,
made fight as long as he could and
then vacated. The worms swarmed in
through the doors and the assault was
repelled for a time with brooms. In
stead of allowing themselves to be
swept out of doors the worms crawled
up the walls. After several days
ceaseless fight, the Crawfords also
gave up and moved to neighbor's
until the visitors could be driven out
by smoke and birthstone. William
Clough, living north of Burlington, has
also given up his house to the worms,
