eating the foliage from many of the
forest trees, especially the birch,
beech and naples, and in some in
stances the elms. Mr. Soule, while
cruising about the woods in the vicin-
lty of the Home, found a tract of
about IS acres of woodlot upon which
the caterpillars were working, and had
stripped large numbers of the trees SO
completely of leaves that they We're as
bare as they are in the fall. The leaves
had been cut off and had fallen to the
ground. and were beginning to curl
IN and dry as they do in October. AS
for the caterpillars they We're every
where, millions Of them.
Another feature noticed by Mr.. Soule
was the presence of birds of various
kinds, which were feeding on the cater
pillars. The cuckoos seemed to pre-
dominate, but there were many others.
and all were engaged in filling them
selves with the caterpillars as fast as
they could There is no doubt that in
this way many of the caterpillars will
be destroyed, but the supply Of food
in that locality is so plenty that there
would seem to be grave danger of the

him the Kaleidoscope belonging to the

50 far as have been able to read It the sentiment of these men was overwhelmingly in favor of Governor Johnson" said Colonel Troy They are men who take an active interest in politics and who are accustomed to train with winners It Is natural that they should line up with a man who has been winner all his life. The whole crowd seemed to be for Johnson. The day confirmed my previously formed conviction that Johnson would carry Montgomery County by a sweep Ing majority"

POLLING PLACES
CHAIRMAN JONES ANNOUNCES An.
 RANGEMENTs.
The City Boxes Win be EstsbI,.hea In Practically All the old PIscex Law Governing Primn-
 rles is fluOfed

Chairman George w. Jones. of the County Democratic Executive Commit. tee, has announced the location of the polling places for the various city wards in the primary election which will be held Monday. It will ba seen by referring to the list that in most cases the locations are the same as in former elections.
 Polling boxes and stationery have already been furnished to those who will have charge of the election. and arrangements have been completed for handling with as much facility as possible the business of the election.
 The following polling places have been selected as most conveniently sit- uated:
 Ward i--Durr's Stables. on Bibb Street. between Moulton and catoma Streets
 Ward s--Loeb,s Stable. corner Church and Moulton Streets.
 Ward 3--Jail
 Ward 4-Dorsette Building on Dex- ter Avenue.

will be landslide for Johnson. The only question now Is the amount of majority in the State.
 "voters on Monday should not for get that the names of the Presidential candidates tn emselves will be upon the tickets and there will be no necessity of anyone being puzzled about how to vote for Johnson. Make cross mark before his name"
 T am told by a great many well in- formed men that there Is a great sem timent for Governor Johnson In Mont gomery County. Our friends are so impressed and so enthusiastic over this sentiment that they are confident of carrying Montgomefy County. The Johnson strength in Montgomery Is ac- knowiedged by all classes of voters. We hear exactly the same thing from every section of the State. From many quarters we get even better reports than are sent In from Montgomery County. We get hundreds of letters daily and they are uniformly of an en- couraglng nature. Each correspondent tells us that the Johnson sentiment In his particular community Is splendid but that he fears for other portions of the State. But everybody writes the same thing-each mans community Is in excellent shape. So we are con-
  enthusiasm that ths Johnson campaign is confined to no one quarter. but that 1t is widespread over every section of Alabama"
 The local Johnson leaders are stli industriously at work flaming the flame of enthusiasm. Lists for the Johnson Club have been left at all the drug stores of the city and they are being freely signed.
 Tn the business district the Johnson sentiment Is practically unanimous" said T. Gardner Foster yesterday. Mir. Foster Is one of the most enthusiastic supporters of Governor Johnson in the city and he has been actively at work in the interest of the Minnesota Gov arnor. Tn my walks about the busi- ness portion of Montgomery I meet hundreds of men who are outspoken h their support of Governor Johnson. I can count on my fingers the men that have heard express themselves as op- posed to him."
 Chairman Alex Troy spent yesterday at the city officials barbecue at Jack sons Lake. He was gratifed at the Johnson sentiment he found among the attendants at the barbecue.
