Recipe to Kill Army Worms.

Here is the recipe issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture for
killing the army worm IN the fields and
on lawns:
One pound of paris green (poisonous)
Fifty pounds of wheat bran.
Juice of one-half dozen oranges.
Bring this mixture to a stiff dough BY
the use of diluted molasses and scatter it
among the worms. Care should be taken
to keep this dough from children or do.
mestic animals.
For small areas like lawns and private
grounds, equally efficient is the applica-
ton of spray of one pound of arsenate
lead dissolved in twenty-five gallons OF
water If the powdered arsenate of lead
is more easily obtainable. one pound of
this may be mixed with eight pounds of
flour and busted on the grass where the
worms are feeding. 1t must be remem-
bered that arsenate of lead is a deadly
poison TO men and animals, as well as to
army worms.

To Work For Another Road.

While the Lincoln Highway from coast
to coast, through Gettysburg, is now a
reality and is expected to be beautl.
fed and improved during the coming
years. still the old idea OF a Lincoln
Highway from Gettysburg through
Frederick to Washington has not been
abandoned. but is now to be brought
forth in more ambitious form than ever.
Daniel F. Lafean, of York, Pa, who,
while a member Of Congress, urged the
construction Of this road has again
taken up the agitation and, instead of
making it simply between the battlefield
and the capital. now proposes that it ex
tends from Gettysburg to Richmond
1t is believed that the connection of the
great Northern battlefield with the seat
OF the Southern Confederacy, will give
the project renewed impetus and will
obtain for it the support of some sec.
tlons of the country which opposed the
original plah.
Meanwhile, the towns on the route of
the other Lincoln Highway, which has
been established from San Francisco to
New York. are worrying along for fear
that they may yet lose the road. York is
particularly perturbed in the fear that il
may be diverted at Gettysburg and go
from there to Washington. That city
will soon erect one or more memorial
arches in order y show its interest and
gain firmer hold on the highway.
1t seems entirely improbable that any
further change in the route will be made.
but the Highway Association has that
constantly in mind in urging the various
communities to do their share towards
identifying the roadway and improving
the road itself.

Secretaries of the Treasury taking the
midnight special for conferences with
the cbieftains of the Money Trust every
week or so? Should the labor legisla-
ton Of the present Democratic Congress
be repealed and the Anti-Iujunction
and the Contempt Bills be withdrawn?
In every instance the answer must be
a negative one. The evils which these
acts and measures deal with have cried
aloud many years for remedies. Other
parties and other leaders have talked
remedies; the Democrats, entrusted with
power for the first time in eighteen
years, have provided remedies.

be conceded, or the tax rate would

The charge that the Democratic rule

ness contains the cue for political work
ers Of high degree and low, which has
been passed along the line from the
Washington headquarters of the Re-
publican party. The charge has been
proven false; but manifestly, many Re

the melancholy din they may yet con

But, from the Democratic standpoint,
what is there to face aside from these

According TO Judge Henderson, of
Cumberland, in handing down an opin.
ion in the case of Harry w. Yonker,
charged with driving traction engine
with cleats over a State road for agri-
cultural purposes. but when a traction
engine is used as motive power to
draw wagon train. then the State and
county authorities have a right to get out
an Injunction against the engine drivers.
About dozen county men have been
arrested by the order of Resident Engi-
neer Tennv, in Frederick county, charged
with the operation of cleated engines
over the State roads in this country.
An extract from Judge Henderson s
opinion reads as follows:
This is not an occasional use of the
road by traction engine going from one
farm to another for agricultural pur-
poses, but daily use for the purpose Of
hauling train of wagons, heavily load
ed with commodities. in short, it is
almost monopolistic use of that which
is intended for general use."
