Roll of Money Lost and Found,

Ed Carr of Illinois, who has
been on a landseeking tour of this
country, dropped his roll last Fri
day, amounting to S1o5, and was
about to notify the city authori-
ties when an obliging employe at
the depot asked him if he hadn't
lost anything, at the same time
handing him the roll in question.
1t is needless to say that Carr's

1t was the first time these
bright Western girls had ever

responsible for the intelligent idea
Miss Emery expressed aneiakThe
Little Women of America" Next
to the Alcott house they seem to
have been most interested in the
Metropolitan Museum of Art in
Central Park where Rosa Bon

admiration.
1t is an amusing fact that the
recent torrid weather experienced
in the East didn't phase these
Colorado girls bit In fact they
insist that the weather there IS
not near as warm as it is in Hol-
ly! The truth is they were so
interested in what they saw that
they didn't know whether the
weather was hot or cold.
1t is hoped "The Little Women
Of America" will adopt the very
excellent idea OF Miss Emery and
Miss Harrington. Miss Harring-
ton lives in Denver, and will teach
there i'll one Of the public schools

Mr.. KERN VEL COINED HOME
RECEPTION AT INDIANAPOLIS TO
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE.
Vice President Fairbanks Made the
Address of Welcome-Large
Crowd Present.

indianapolis, July 1.-THE reception
given John w. Kern, the newly nomi-
mated Democratic candidate for vice
president of the United States, held in
the courthouse yard at $3.50 O'Clock
Wednesday night, was as hearty and
generous and spontaneous as the citi-
zens of Indianapolis, regardless of pol
tiles, could make it. Fully 5000 peo-
pie gathered in Delaware street and
in the courthouse yard, gave Mr.. Kern
hearty welcome and cheered him en-
Enthusiastically. The newly made can
didate addressed the big crowd for
about 20 minutes after being present
ed by Charles w. Fair banks, vice pres
ident Of the United States. Four
years ago Mr.. Kern presented Mr..
Fairbanks to a big nonpartisan gath
ering under similar circumstances.
The crowd which received Mr.. Kern
was in a cheering mood. 1t cheered
Mrs. Kern and William Kern and
John w. Kern, Jr., when they came
on the stand. Republicans applauded
Mr.. Kern arrived in the city little
after 6 o'clock and was escorted to his
home by a large procession. Two
hours later he went to the courthouse
with Vice President Fairbanks. The
crowd gathered early and, while wait
ing for the exercises to begin, the In
dianapolis Military band gave a con-
cert of popular airs. The band played
Maryland" Dixie" and the Star
Spangled Banner"
When the carriage in which Mr..
Kern and Vice President Fairbanks
arrived the band started when John
ny Comes Marching Home" This was
the signal for a tumult of applause,
and when the two distinguished men
alighted they were greeted by round
after round of cheers. Mayor Book
walter extended a greeting as Mr..
Fairbanks and Mr.. Kern assembled the
platform. Mayor Bookwalter with
few brief remarks presented Vice
President Fairbanks. I'VE have met"
the mayor said, ito do honor to a fell
low citizen who has brought honor to
all of u.s."
Vice President Fairbanks spoke
about ten minutes, paying a fine trib-
ute to his friend and neighbor. John
w. Kern.
Perhaps in all his career as pub
lie speaker John w. Kern never was
received with more ardent applause
than he was when he faced the crowd
of 5000 people Wednesday.

belt, but the farmer cannot afford to
sit back and wait for them to destroy
the pest He must take hold Of tho
matter himself.
Methods of Combating the Fly.
Destruction of Flaxseeds in Stub.
bIe.-The Hessian fly is now in the
faxseed stage, resting in the stubble
just above the joints between the
sheath and the stem. The flaxseeds
may be found just above any of the
joints, appearing from the surface of
the ground upward. They can easily
be destroyed by burning the stubble
over or disking it just after harvest
and blowing it so deeply two to four
weeks later that none of the straws
or volunteer wheat plants shall be
left sticking out to form passageways
the fiaxseeds. The latter method has
the advantage of increasing the
amount OF humus.
Destruction of Volunteer Wheat
All volunteer wheat should be plowed
under deeply before the regular crop
is sown, so the flies infesting 1t will
be destroyed and not left to attack
tho main crop.
Trap Crop. Inasmuch as it has
been found that the flies can wait for
some time in order to secure desir-
able place in which to deposit their
eggs, it is often desirable and worth
while to SOW early strip of wheat
about or across the prospective wheat
field, and, before the main crop Is
sown, to plow this fly-infested wheat
under deeply, thus not only inducing
the flies to lay their eggs, but de-
stroying their progeny.
Late SoWing.-By far the most i'm
portant measure is to be found in
the practice of sowing the wheat
only after the bulk of the flies have
deposited their eggs. This time, how
ever, varies with the nature of the
season from year to year, and can be
determined only by experiment. Elk
perimental sowings during the past
year have shown that wheat sown
after the first week of October in
central Kansas, and that sown after
September 80 in northern Kansas has
been almost entirely free from in
iestation.
Useful General Practice. - Where
the succeeding field of wheat can be
sown some distance from that of the
previous year, fewer of the insects
will be able to reach the grain to
deposit eggs. 1t is obvious that any
method that makes stronger, health
Ter plant will mature a. better crop IN
spit of the fly than would be possible
where plants equally infested are
neglected. Therefore, the choice OF
good seed, enriching the soil and care
full preparation of the seed-bed are
important measures in reducing the
damage due to Hessian fly.

LUNATIcs ALLOWED AT LARGE.
They Are a Menace to the Public, But

persons have been killed by maniacs,

were insane and swore to it on the
witness stand at the subsequent trials
No insane person is harmless. One
frequently hears it said Of an eccen-
trio person: He's crazy, all right
but he's a harmless man" Every
lunatic is a menace. 1t is better for
him and for all his relatives that ne
be locked up. You never can tell
what a madman will do, and II he

There are few persons who go up

are rot acquainted with one or moro
lunatics. know two crazy men who
go about their business the same as
other men do One of them is single
and is an egomaniac. He thinks OF no
one and nothing but himself 1t is
virtually impossible for him to talk
about any subject except his business
affairs and his wonderful doings. All

gently and laugh at his boasts. He Is
uuick-tempered and quarrelsome and
some day he'll do some one mischief.
Then all his friends will swear that he
is crazy and that they have known IT

was dangerous. Insanity is in the

are in asy'ums.
The other lunatic with whom | am
