Manufacturing Shells.

All departments at Trenton have
been working the last fortnight. The
works are. without doubt, turning out
shells, but in what quantity. or to
what figures the contract goes, is d
secret of war. and is not permitted &c
be made public by the censor. Our
boys at the front, those of the artil-
lery, want Nova Scotia made shells. 1t
will inspire them with the confidence
that when they fire shell it will do
what is wanted of it wherever it lands.
This order for shells ought to be
good advertisement for Scotia. If at
Trenton high class-pass the censor
shells can be made why not other war
material. This small beginning may
lead to the establishment of an ARISEN

Afternoon Session

AT the afternoon session of the
court the George L. Guoire will case
was resumed and lasted all the after
noon. Four witnesses remain and will
be heard today. The history of the
case starts when the will of the late
George l.. Guoire of North Augusta,
after being filed in the probate court
of this county, was contested by the
firm of Williamson, Burleigh & Nc
Lean. At that time the firm of Mel
son & Andrews appeared as propo-
nents of the will. In the present trial
the proponent is represented by John
A. Nelson and the contestant by Attor-
neys Mclean and Fogg.
The case has progressed somewhat
slowly. and seems to devolve upon the
two issues, as to whether or not I'M
due influence was exerted upon the
testator and as to his mental capac-
ity at the time the will was drawn up.
Testimony thus far shows that by
former will of Mr. Guoire's Anna
Dutton. a cousin, two other cousins
who reside in the State of Washing
ton, and others were the beneficiaries.
John button of North Augusta is the
beneficiary of the contested will. The
evidence shown displays the facts that
in the fall of 1912 the late Mr.. Guoire
fell and broke his hip and that he
soon afterward engaged John Duttoa
to come and live with and care for
him for the remainder of his life, for
which Mr.. Dutton should receive $4,000
and later the farm which Mr.. Guoire
owned. Statements of testimony al
lege that the reasons for the tesla
tors revolling his former will are ex-
planned by his remarks that he de-
sired to do for those who did the
most for him. Further testimony al
leges that the friendship of Mr.. Guoire
and his cousins and other benef1ciaries
of the former will never ceased. The
evidence clashes slightly upon the
point of the relations between MIR.
Guoire and Mr.. Dutton, and asserts
both extremes, that of extreme fond
ness and also one that was not so
friendly.
Though the trial has been long a
pinch of zest has been administered
by the repeated limitations from the
bench that the representatives of the
contestant should not wander too far
from the issues involved; resulting in
one instance in the advice of the court
that the policy which they We're then
pursuing be abandoned.
Court was adjourned at $50 and
will open this morning at $50.

DESTROY TUSSOCK
MOTH EGG MASSES
After the Leaves Fall-Cater-
pillar with Distinctive Long
Black Tufts of Hair-Dam-
ages Shade Trees-May Be
Controlled

Washington, Oct. 14-The cater
pillar of the tussock moth, which is
noticeable because of three long black
tufts of hair protruding from its yell
low body, has done considerable dam
age to many shade trees in the city
of Washington during the summer and
fall. This insect, which extends
through the eastern United States, as
far west as Iowa, seems to prefer
poplars. naples, elms. alders, birches,
and willows. Besides injurihg trees,
it's barbed hairs occasionally produce
considerable irritation on the skin of
people upon whom the caterpillars
drop. To control the ravages of this
pest the coming season, the conspicu-
Gus white-egg masses laid by the
moth should be destroyed after the
leaves have fallen, when they may be
very easily noticed.
The United States Department of
Agriculture's entomologist considers
the above method preferable to that
of banding the trees after the egg
masses have already been laid. Dur
ing the past season a number of trees
in the city of Washington have been
banded to prevent ithe moths from
climbing up their trunks when there
were already egg masses above the
bands which Matched out caterpillars.
These caterpillars were prevented from
coming out of the trees as much as
others were prevented from coming
into them. OF course, if the owner of
a tree is sure that it is absolutely free
from egg masses (Which are always
conspicuous and usually are found low
down on the trunk he may use a
band to advantage to keep out in
truders. For this purpose insect lime,
of which there are several brands on
the market. is the best substance and
a ring made around the tree will give
service for several weeks in warm
weather without being renewed.
creosote Oil for Egg Masses
AS soon as the leaves have fallen.
egg masses should be scraped from
the trees and then destroyed by burn
ing The work must be absolutely
thorough, and not an egg mass over
looked. A better way. however, is to
use applications of creosote oil on the
eggs. This is similar to the ,iGuid that

Augusta people who follow the agri-
cultural fairs were out in force
Wednesday TO enjoy the attractions
offered at Topsham and the morning
trains carried a lot of them down the
line. A few of the anxious ones who
wanted to go early and get a good seat
took the early morning train, but the
majority waited until the special came
along from Waterville at 80 and the
regular train which leaves Augusta for
the west at 9,39. The number of tick
cts sold at the Maine Central station
was 144 and several parties also took
advantage of the beautiful October
weather to make the trip by automo-
bile.

is used against the gypsy moth in
Massachusetts. About SO per cent. of
turpentine is added to it to keep it
liquid in cold weather. The workman
is furnished with a pole, to the end of
which small sponge is tied. He goes
from tree to tree, dipping the sponge
occasionally into the creosote prepare
ton and touching with it each egs
mass found. This is simple and very
rapid method. AS with the other meth
cd, the work must be absolutely thor
ough.
There are two and probably three
annual generations of the tussock
moth in the city of Washington. In
New York City and Boston there are
two generations. A second generation
will be more destructive than the first.
The comparative harmlessness of this
species as it goes farther north is
probably due to the acknowledgement
of the second generation.
In 1895, when the city of Washing
ton was visited by an unusual number
of these insects, one of the later gem
erations of caterpillars which Matched
about Aug. 2. commenced to spin
about Sept. 8. During the latter part
of September most of the moths made
their appearance and the conspicuous
white-egg masses were very abundant
on the trees by the first of October.
Caterpillars Matching after the first of
October are unlikely to develop into
moths.
The year after the pest In 1895 there
were very few tussock caterpillars in
the city of Washington. The pest was
not nearly so abundant this year as in
1895, and there is no reason to believe
that there will be any fewer next year
than there have been this year unless
there is a general campaign against
the egg masses after the leaves have
fallen.

German Atrocities.

Halifax, n. s.. Friday.-Many people
have been slow to believe the frightful
stories of atrocities, committed on I'M
offending Beigians by the German SOL
diers, but therei is in Halifax today an
English gentleman. a representative of
one OF the largest firms in England,
who with his own eyes saw eight Bel
CLAN boys who had no hands, the result
of German cruelty. These boys We're
being cared for in a private home, in
Manchester, England.
All over England, public institutions
and private residences have been
thrown open to the Belgian refugees
and Manchester is doing its share
this way. The Belgians tell many ter
rible stories of German cruelty.
The English gentleman said that he
was told by one of them that German
soldiers marched with the breasts Or
women on their bayonets. Although he
did not see anything like this, he was
quite ready to believe anything after
seeing lads. MANNED for life, as a re-
suit of having their hands cut off by
the bayonets of the Kaisers soldiers.
