Members Of the ksokuk Bar and visl-
tors Journey 70 Wild Cat Springs
to Spend the
Day.
RIOT REPORTED AT NOON
Absolute Protection From Undue Ac-
tivitles Of Officers Was Very
Pleasing to the
Lawyers.

One day each year the lawyers OF
Keokuk forget all about Blackstone,
contempt Of court and stubborn juries
and journey to some quiet spot for
their annual picnic. Some OF them,
Il is said, even forget unpaid fees.
and the most important thing of the
day is usually an address by Sheriff
j. j. Crimmins after he wins the
horseshoe pitching contest.
Today the lawyers, court house ana
city officials ard visiting lawyers from
nearby towns are participating In the
picnic at Wild Cat Springs. AS pre-
caution the food for the day was sent
ahead in a special wagon and no
lawyers was allowed to venture near
the wagon. IN this manner, the food
is sure to arrive safely, and 1t will be
well protected after the destination
Is reached.
There was large attendance at
the picnic this year, probably due to
the fact that Judge Hughes had an.
nounced that he had brought back a
fine lot OF new stories from his east
ern trip and Frank Ballinger promised
he would not tell a fish story.
Protection was also promised
against any undue activity on the par,
of County Attorney McManus and the
lawyers prepared to take all the liber
ties the law doesn't allow
The committee on arrangements
composed Of Archer Miller, chairman
Gil. Norman, j. ]. Crimmins, Jr.. and
John Sprowles were viewed with sus
picicn by some of the more staid
members and it was necessary to
swear them before Clerk Curtis Har,
to honorably perform their duties
Attorneys Of Illinois from Hamilton
end Carthage were detailed to show
them how to evade the law in that
state SO as to let no shadow be cas-
upon the picnic should a constable

CORN EAR WORM.


Hundreds of farmers, IN every corn.
growing section of the United States,
are losing considerable corn by the
corn ear worm. large amount of
sweet corn and corn grown for seed
is damaged by it.
The corn ear worm lives in the
ground, in the pupal stage, during the
wiLter. and a great many of them may
be destroyed by thorough fall cultiva'
ton. This method is most effective
when practiced by whole community,
as the moths fly for considerable dis
tances, and eliminating them from a
single field does not solve the problem.
If the crop be sweet corn or field
corn that is grown for seed or other
special purposes it may be protected
by busting with powdered arsenate OF
lead at the time when the silks first
appear and three or four times there
after at intervals of about i've to ten
lays, depending upon the weather.
This is the same insect that some
zines feeds upon tomatoes, beans and
other garden crops, and here, the
arsenate of lead busting is effective.
