This was only year ago l am not revealing secrets, for it was all in the continental papers. The en- gagement was broken because of ir- reconcilable religious differences. But it was my last romance I can never love again. have met and expect to meet here many charming American girls, but there will be no romance. l have no need for fortune hunting and would not stoop to such a thing.

CATERP|LLARS NOW ALL OVER TIE STATE Department of Agriculture Advises the Use of
 Paris Green

Montgomery. August 5.-(Special.)- Nearly all the counties of Alabama south of a line drawn through Gull run by caterpillars, according to off eial announcement. which was today made by the department of agricul- ture. Since issuance of the statement, however. q report was received by the department from Madison county 10 the effect that the cotton crop of that coun- ty was being fairly devastated by the worm, though this condition does not seem to be general in north Alabama.
 The statement of the department fol lows: We have received notice from nearly every county south of line extending across the state from Gull man. stating that caterpillars were de- stroyfng their cotton and asking us 10 give them a remedy to destroy them. The depart rtment invariably recommends the use of Paris. green Tn connection with the common wheat flour, abour two-thirds Paris green and one-third flour
 This combination allows a better dis tribution of the poison and makes it adhere to the leaves better than the Paris green alone would do. We also advise the application of this mixture at night as the worms feed princi pally during that time and. besides, on account of the falling of the dew that causes the mixture to adhere to the 1 leaves for a longer time than if put on | while the sun is shining.
 The department stands ready at any | moment to give the people any in- | it may possess, not only for | the eradication of the caterpillar, but for anything else pertaining to agri- culture.
