WINDHAM COUNTY SUFFERS
Thousands of Grasshoppers Ruin Hay
and Vegetable Crops

Brattleboro. July 7.-Great swarms
of grasshoppers have visited the cen
ter and northeastern part of Wind
ham county and the damage to gar
dens and crops already amounts to
hundreds of dollars Numerous farm
ers are undertaking to rid themselves
OF the pest by poison bait, consisting
of a mixture of Paris green, bran and
molasses, left in convenient places in
the fields, but the grasshoppers are so
numerous and have attained such
size that the effort avails little.
In Westminster. near Bellows
Falls, the grasshoppers are so thick
along the highways that the otter
parts of fence posts are shut out
from view, so closely are they hud-
died together, while thousands of
crushed grasshoppers may be seen in
the wheel tracks in the roads.

potatoes also are badly damaged. In
the same town, Arthur Railway has
sustained loss in his fields of oats
and grass.
In East Putney, the pest has clean
ed up f. l.. Ponds garden, most of
his hay on several acres, and has
badly damaged his sweet corn and
oats.
c. II. Howard, who lives in Bellows
Falls and owns a farm in Westmins-
ter, will cut less than half a crop of
hay from 10 acres. All Of his oats
have been damaged, some of it so
badly that he will not undertake to
harvest it.
The grass crop owned by Harry
Howe in Bfookln has been nearly
ruined, and in the northern part of
Rockingham farms are infested.
In some places the grasshoppers
have attacked fruit trees, and the
farmers are smearing the trunks
with tanglefoot to keep the pest down
but this means is not likely to prove
very effective as the grasshoppers
are beginning to fly.
The past two seasons have been
dry. which has been favorable to the
pest, but the dampness this year is
expected to prevent a majority of the
eggs f.om Matching next season.

KIDNAPPING VOTERS.

In England "A generation ar two ago

strange tales of forcible seizures, mad

DO YOU USE FACE POWDER
II You Do Be Careful to Keep It From
GETTING In Your Eyes.

Face powder has its dangers the
same as gunpowder For several
years occasional cases have come I'M
der the observation Of ocullsts in which
the patients, invariably women, com
plain of vision being blurred, inability
to use the eyes for any length of time
and severe itching of the lids. The
slightest rubbing of the lids produces
a marked redness of the eyes and only
aggravates the itching. In severe
cases the lids are frequently swollen
from constant rubbing. There is Il
sticky, elastic secretion which. when
being removed, pulls out in long
strings
Microscopic examination OF the Sc
erection reveals masses Of what appear
to he crystals. Until recently no salts
factory explanation of the presence Of
these crystals in the eye has heen
given Secrctions taken from the eyes
Of two sisters suffering from this pc
cullar complaint were submitted to the
professor of pathology Of one of the
university medical schools. who found
that the crystals came from face pow
der. Seven other patients In which
the same symptoms and microscopic
conditions were found all used face
powder
When the powder is applied to the
face with pun part Of the fine dust
is driven upward and lodges on the
moist eychall. The powder in the
presence Of the tears then becomes
mucilaglnous in character and is not
washed from under the cyellds The
powder produces the irritation. which
is aggravated by rubbing. Those who
use chamois skin in applying the
powder are less liable 60 cause the
fine dust 10 arise. which probably ac-
counts for the condition not being
found in every woman using face pow
der. The condition is quickly relieved
by flushing the eve with boric acid
solution. The irritation rapidly disap-
pears when the eyes are kept washed
out with soothing eye wash.-From

citation.

WHO'S THE WINNER?
The Old Clothes Man Who Dies Rich
or the Impecunious ColIegian

The Old Clothes Man Who Dies Rich
or the Impecunious Collegian
Not long ago a man died in the vic
unity OF Harvard University, and by
the usual legal formalities it was
found that he left an estate valued at
something more than 100000, judici-
ousIy divided into real estate and
cash.
The only remarkable thing about
this statement is that the man in
question, Barnard or POGO" Bennett,
was an old clothes dealer, and he
had as his clients the boys and young
men who attended Harvard Universe
ty.
1t is interesting to inquire what pro
portion of the graduates of Harvard,
or of any other university, ever
amass wealth to the extent of 800.
600. A careful inquiry into the facts
would probably result in the discov-
cry that most college men, even in
this day when the man with a de-
gree is in demand in many places
where practical men were formerly
in demand-from financial nstitut-
ions to baseball diamonds-neyer ac-
| quire wealth TO that extent.
But shall we conclude that POGO"
Bennett chose more wisely than the
college men from whom he reaped a
| fortune?

discredit attaching to the man who
deals in old clothes. so long as he
holds before himself honest stand
| ards.
But there never was time when
there was needed, more than now, a
reiteration of the fact that happiness
and welfare depend far more upon
thinking, and the capacity to think
right, than upon money and real es-
tate
The man who has made himself a
scholar is the man who takes his
place in the march of progress. The
man who thinks must always stand
in advance of the man who does not.
Moreover if the men who come out
of the universities have an ambition
to acquire wealth, rather than to be-
come teachers and professional schol
| airs, they always have advantages
over the man who from the begin
ming strives only for material gain.
No one will begrudge POGO" Ben
nett his 100000, but many people
will wonder if he derived anything
from life devoted to the handling OF
cast-off clothes which atoned for the
sacrifices he had to make.-St. Louis
