HE WAS BARELY PAST TWELVE
YEARS OLD WHEN HE ENLIST
ED IN THE ARMY.

| Andrew H. Burke, former governor
of North Dakota, 30l3 De Croft Way,
is baseball fan of the first water,
says the Kansas City Star. And he
can prove clear title to being one
OF the youngest, if not the youngest
person to enlist in the army of the
Union during the Civil wor. So it is
natural that, in discussing his war rec
ord, Mr.. Burke, should use baseball
| figures.
Mr.. Burke enlisted as drummer in
an Ohio regiment when exactly -
years an l5 days old. He was moved
to tell about it, by reading in the Star
of William S. Otwell, 1926 Summit
street, who enlisted a short time be-
fore his 18th birthday.
"Now I really dislike, Columbus like,
to knock Mr.. Otweli out Of first place
for the honor of being 'the youngest
soldier that enlisted in the Civil war, ;
which he claims in the Star, Saturday
morning. said Mr.. Burke yesterday.
"But, like the Kansas City Blues,
guess he will have to be content with
second place and let me move into first
place, though it be for few days
only, or until, possibly, another claim
ant for the honor comes along and
shoves me into second place, and Mr..
Otwell into third place. You know
there is always the possibility of there
being others.
Anyhow, both of us will always be
members of the first division because
that distinction takes in all less than
ID years old, and he and can easily
qualify for that honor.' Here Mr..
Burke became reminiscent.
! "The war records show that I en-
listed June !, 1922 he continued,
"and that on the preceding May Is, I
was only - years old. So you see that
L enlisted only two weeks after nv
birthday. Mr.. Otwell, see, was near
ly 13 years old. So 1 guess my war
record as to minimum age of enlist
mcnt entities me to take precedence
over him.
Then he showed a history of the scv-
cnty- fifth Indiana infantry which
speaks particularly of him and corro-
borates what he said as to his age at
enlistment being only 12 The part of
the history referring to Mr. Burke as
drummer is as folows:.
"The youngest member was Andrew
II. Burke, the drummer of Company D.
lie was born May Is, 1850, and, at the
time of his enrolment, was a lad u
years old, with auburn hair and gray
lsll-bluo eyes. On account Of his agc
he had difficulty in obtaining muster
into the service, but through the as.

the musician who, on an eventful Sun
day morning, at Lebanon, Ky, beat
! the long roll on his drum which called
the regiment into its line of battle.
- He was with us CARRYING his drum
at the head of the regiment through
all the marches and raids in Kentucky
and Tennessee. The whirligig of time
brings great changes. This drummer

SWITCHED THEIR VOTES,
The Incident That Won Tom Corwin's
First Fight For Conqress,

"When saw the oil painting of Tom

man. II could not but recall the story
told in Corwin's old home of Lebanon
of how he won his first election to

already noted as an orator. but be
had a hard district and little encour-
agement for election. He was making
his tour of the counties and one night
stopped at the double cabin of farm
er known to be Il very fervent advo-
cate Of political policies Of the oppo-
sition. Corwin talked politics care
fully with the old man and his sons
before bedtime. but had little hope of
winning single vote in the house
hold. In the morning the old man
took Corwin outside and announced
that every voter in the family would
be for him on election day. This
astonished and delighted Corwin. who
could not help but ask why the sudden
change of heart.
"The old man told how the opposition
candidate had stopped at his house
one night the week before and how
the host and wife had watched the
candidate go to bed. To their disgust.
he actually put on nightgown like
those worn by woman. This dis
gusted the rugged old pioneer. Then
Corwin was told how the old farmer
and his wife had watched him go to

taken to frills. Corwin could see the

succeeding speech be told that night.

For the past few weeks Gotch has
been doing hardly anything but road

The plan now is for the champion to
start in every afternoon at about 2:3O

AS the days advance the time will
be gradually heightened until at the

and half hours. He expects another
terrific struggle of endurance with the
Russian Lion and so will spare him.

wrestlers in the country to help him.

COLLEGE SENDS
OUT SOME INTERESTING MAT
TER ON PEST.

Inquiries and complaints are srlii
coming III regarding the grasshorper
In some places the destruction has been
almost complete while in others it has
been only partial. The time has now
arrived when the grasshoppers have
commenced to lay their eggs for next
years brood and it is none too early
to begin to provide for their destruc
tion.
Wherever grasshoppers are found in
any number at the present time it is
save to assume that they are laying
eggs. The land selected for this pur.
pose is ordinarily the frain fields. They
avoid grass lands but lay freely along
the roadsides. They prefer a firm soil
Tree from grass roots. Any grain
field provides an ideal condition.
Many of the grasshoppers are in
tested with red mite. 1t has been
thought by some that this would dcs-
troy the grasshoppers but this is not
wholly true. \ grassh3pper that is
very badly infested will be sonewi,t
weakened by this parasite but the
chances are that the majority Of them
will lay the normal number of eggs.
The parasite as it is found upon the
srasshoppers is the larval form of a
small red spider. Later in the season
as these larvae develop they release
themselves from the grasshoppers and
III the adult stage feed upon the grass
hopper eggs. Most everyone has no.
ticed early in the sprlng, while work
ing in the gardens or fields a very
small bright red spider; this is the
adult form of the parasite. This spid-
er as has been said feeds exclusively
upon the eggs of the grasshopper. At
the same time she lays about three
hundred eggs which hatch into the
form which is found upon the wings
of the grasshopper during the summer.
These mites eventually become numer-
GUS enough to reduce the numbers of
the grasshoppers to point where they
are not longer destructive but this may
take two or three years and it is not
wise to allow our crops to be destroy.
ed by the grasshoppers during that
period.
AS has been stated before on several
occasions through the press of the
state the one perfect remedy for grass !
hoppers is to plow under their eggs
either i'll the fall or very early in the |
spring. For this purpose the blowing
must he done to a dept not less than
five inches. Many of the farmers have
complained that even where the land !
was plowed the grasshoppers are nu-
merous. This is due to the fact that
the land was only plowed or inches .
deep. There are many othre reasons
for plowing toa dept of or 6 inches
but the one that has been mentioned
should be sufficient at this time.
The means of destroying these in
sects are so simple and so directly in
line with our general practice of farm.
ing that there is no reason why we
should have any loss from this source.

matoes and sold them to the buyers.
But the acres were held for the
Ayars Co., which Mr.. Blew declared
his willingness to deliver before the

AS FINANCIAL
YEAR IS WANING
City Finances Are in a Good
Condition.
OVER $4,000 IN BANK
Comptroller Sharp's Monthly Re-
port Tells an Interesting and
Satisfactory Story.

Closing his monthly report to City
Council, Comptroller Barton F. Sharp
shows that there is an actual balance
in the general fund and water account
of the city of $45,3O3.97. OF this
amount, $4O,950 is in bank deposited
on interest. That indicates a most
| healthy financial condition for a grow
ing city.
According to the Comptroller's re-
port, the City Treasurer has had in
his hands this year, balance and re-
ceipts, $12S,526.33. OF this amount,
$120,S14.63 has been expended. leaving
a balance of $3,21170 in the general
fund. But in this expenditure of $780,
314.63 has been charged up $38, .39
expended upon the new sewage dis
posal plant. Within few days this
amount will be turned back into the
city treasury from the sale of the
bonds, which will make a very sub
stantial balance in the general fund.-
The city water plant continues to
be a very fair business enterprise for
the city, On January first the city
treasurer had balance of $31, 1,097. .3S
in the water account, and something
over $4,000 has since been received,
making the total account thus far
for the year, $5O,982.3S. The expendi-
lures in the department have been
$11 ,2O2.94 for maintenance, $1,272.17
for construction and interest $405.
The treasurer has deposited $36,950
in the various banks upon interest,
leaving checking balance of $1,142.-
27. This will be considerably aug
mented in October by another quarter
yearly water rents receipts.
Balances in the various appropria-
tions are as follows:
Fire Department $2,533.66.
Park, $2.45.
Sundries, $433.71.
Streets and Roads, $2,521.23.
