GRASSHOPPERS. AND
HOW TO CONTROL
THEM.

During the past several days
the Delta planters have Eeen
caused considerable annoyance
and anxiety over the occurrence
of grasshoppers II the growing
crops. In some cases, more or
less serious damage, has been
caused, but, in general, the
damage has been confined to the
turn-rOws and ditch bank &.
While tie present outbreak will
no doubt prove inconseqnential
SO far as serious damage is con-
cerned, yet in some cases pre-
ventative measures will be nee
cessary. The following methods
of control should prove sufficient
to control the hoppers in the
Delta: ....... ..
The time when grasshOppers
can be most successfully fought
is when they are in, the. egg or
larval stages. Shallow blowing
and narrowing in. Ethe autumn
will break up most Of the egg
pods, exposing them to enemies
and the weather. Old hay or
Oat straw scattered over the
ground in heaps and windows
will serve as hidingplac for the
young locusts or grasshoppers
and large,numbers of them can be
destroyed in this manner by bur-
ming. In pastures and smooth
fields the use of u h ,avy roller
will work successfully if used be-
fore the young grasshoppers are
able to fly any distance.
In some cases where the in
sscts are very numerous bitches
or trenches dug in favorable lOca
tions will be found useful for
driving the young insects into
where they can be killed by hav-
ing the ditch filled half-full OF
kerosene. .--f
The use of poisons, while not
generally to be recommended
will probably prove more success

that all the bitches and turn row.

Lookup Empty q Year.

Atlanta, Ga.-The little town Of
Charleston. nesting in the shadow of
Stone Mountain, has the distinction.
along with Johnson City, Tex, of be-
ing the only village in the world
whose calaboose or jail has stood
empty for more than a year.
The Charleston Jail little one-room
affair, was built two or three years
ago, and so moral has the little COM
munity been that it has only had one
inmate, and he was a chance vagrant
who made the mistake of stopping
there.
The same condition is said to pre-
vail in Johnson City, Texas, but the
Texans have made their jail useful
by storing grain in it, and today, &C
cording to reports, every cell is full
of corn and wheat.
Charleston, up until now, had held
the proud title alone.

Return to Their Old Ways.

Atlanta Ga.-Of the eight or ten
fallen girls who were taken into At
lanta homes a year ago in an effort
to reform them not one is left today
in any of the Ravens of refuge offer
ed by charitable citizens. Some have
left voluntarily; others have ben sor-
rowfully sent away, following thefts
and other lapses from the straight
and narrow path.
The rather daring experiment was
made in connection with the crusade
which closed the houses in the red
light district. Good people in the
community commended the crusade
and at the same time expressed pity
and christian sympathy for the poor
women.
How many of you have christian
sympathy enough to take one of these
unhappy girls into your homer"
some sincere and literal-minded
preacher Numbered, and others took
up the cry.
1t turned out that there were in
Atlanta several people, nearly all
DJOmIuGuI,
riment. In every instance it has been
failure. In the largest number of
cases the girls proved not to have
the grit and willingness to work and
take advantage of the opportunities
for reformation offered them, and
after a short time voluntarily return
ed to a life of vice and Incidence.
In several cases they stole money and
jewelry from the people who tried to
aid them, and in one or two in
stances the girls requited the kind
ness by continuing in secret their
immoral lives while actually under
the sheltering roof of their benefac-
| tors.
Those who were directly interested
have hesitated to draw the cOnclu-
sion that it is practically impossible
to reform a woman who has been a
professional prostitute, as many
economists claim, but they do admit
that the method they undertook as
described above is not successful.

The Frank Motion for New Trial.


Atlanta. Ga.-While the motion
for a new trial in the Frank case has
115 counts the main contentious can
be reduced to two; first, technical
and legal objections to the courts
rulings: and second, the allegation
that the jury was Influenced and in
Inundated by the crowds in the court
room and by the yelling on the
streets.
One of the principal technical OBJ
jections is leveled at the testimony
of the negro Conley involving the
immoral character of Frank in his
relation to women.
"Lasciviousess is not one of the
character traits involved in plea for
murder - it is set forth, land cannot
be held in a murder trial even when
the defendant has raised the issue
of character"
The motion also goes after Dr.. H
F. Harris, state secretary of the
board of health, attacking his testi-
mony and attacking him for giving it.
1t is eontended that his statement
was "argumentative and not state
ment of fact, scientific or other
wise
Practically all of the testimony
which involved the immoral relation
of Frank with girls and women, and
which related to the immoral condi-
lions alleged to have prevailed at
the pencil factory, is objected to in
the motion for new trial.

WHERE THERE IS
So MUCH SMOKE
There Is Always Some
Fire.

When people talk about one thing
and keep on talking as they do about
the discovery that has created such
a sensation here the last nine weeks,
evsn though you have tried every
medicine under the sun, your coed
Judgment should dictate to you to
try a bottle of the much talked Of
| Globe Tonic. When people spend
their money for a thing and then buy
more of it proof of merit becomes
the duty of every person in need of
medicine to try the Globe Tonic
Remedies.
Globe Tonic cures rheumatism and
catarrh because it puts the filtering
machines of the body to work and
causes them to filter the impurities
of the blood. Globe Tonic cures
stomach and bowel trouble because
it removes irritated and liberated
conditions from the mucous Innings
and causes a natural flow of digestive
fluids. Good rich blood will nourish
and strengthen every weak part of
the body. Another report:
Mr.. A. R. Randall. r. F. D. 4, box
76, called on the demonstrators of
Globe Tonic at 202 North Main ST.,
and said GIVE me three more bot
ties of Globe Tonic. My sister has
used two bottles of Globe Tonic, and
it cured her of sickheadaches and
nervousness.

CHICAGO, In.-Mathis DengeseI

The young man said that he was

was willing to sell it because Dene-

that would take good care of it. He
finally sold the farmer the statue for

Denegesel wasn't through. He
hung around with his eyes open, and

.M|SS0ULA PIONEERS ARE
PLANNING BIG MEETING

The committee in charge OF
the various entertainments for
the pioneers, when they gather
in the Garden City for their
annual meeting on September 4,
S, and 6, have been working
hard and have arranged to give
the first men who came to Mon
tana a rousing good time. There
are a few details yet to be
worked out but in the main
the plans are complete and all
Missoula has declared that the
men who attend the meeting in
Missoula will have a good time.
The feature of the meeting
promises to be an automobile
ride up the Bitter Root valley,
which has been set for Saturday,
September 9th. The old timers
will be shown old Fort Owen and
the monument and church of
Father Ravalli. which was the
first house of worship in the
Treasure State. In Stevensville
the pioneers will be rendered a
reception by the citizens and will
be given a luncheon there. The
trip will be made by automobiles
so as to give the visitors a
chance to view the Bitter Root
valley when it is at it's best.
On Thursday night the persons
who came to Missoula before
1869, will be the guests Of the
Missoula pioneers and citizens at
a reception and luncheon in the
Elks' temple. On Friday night,
September 5th, an entertainment
will be given in the Harnois
theatre. This will be in the
nature of a musical interspersed
with talks and stories.
From reports received by the
executive in charge of the
arrangements over $50 pioneers
will be in attendance at the
Missoula meeting. The railroads
have granted a rate of one and
one-third the regular fare for
the round trip and it is believed
that many will take advantage
OF this concession.
