POET-SLAYER TO BE SHOT!-I W. W. BARD WILL
FACE FIRING SOUAD-WOMAN'S NAME SECRET


Salt Lake City, Utah.-The red
bandanna" murderer, Joe Hill poet
of the proletariat, love lyric composer
and l. w. W. leader, will be shot at
dawn September A.
A woman's name will go down to
his grave with him, locked behind the
dead lips which heroically refuse to
utter it, though it would mean ALL
life, honor, happiness!
One evening last January a Salt
Lake grocer, John g. Morrison and
his son were shot to death in their
store by two mysterious murderers
masked in red bandanna handker-
chiefs. One Of the murderers was
wounded in the battle, Morrison said
before he died.
On that same night Joe Hill ap-
peared at a Salt Lake City physi-
clans office, pleading that a gaping
bullet wound in his chest be cared
for at once.
"a row with a woman" he NUT
tered tersely- when asked how he had
been shot. .
But when the police took him in
charge they found a red bandanna
handkerchief. That was all the evil
dence.
And those two circumstances
ly cruel condolences, perchance-
have doomed the romantic. poet of
the people" to death before the rife
mouths which, under the law of Utah,
he choose in preference to hanging.
Gould I only speak her name"
murnurs Joe Hill in his cell, ''but, no,
I cannot! Let death be mine rather
than that dishonor should be HERS!"
And so the mystery of the red ban
danna murder, which has struck the |
Imagination of all the west, is des-
tined to be unsolved, shrouded for |
ever in the smoke from the gun that |
strikes down Poet Joe EIillstrom.

Perhaps one of the busiest men in

In between times he managed 10 get
out and make visits to 239 farms in
the county where he gave expert ad-

farmer to each farm.
Still the county agents time seems
not to have been entirely taken up
with these matters, for he entertained
2.272 callers at his office who came on

CREED OF COUNTRY.

Rural life is coming into it's OWL
and country life is beginning to be
appreciated again after several de-
cades of disfavor and neglect. The
following creed, which is being adopt
ed as the slogan Of various boys and
girls clubs throughout the rural sec
tions of the United states. shows that
the thought life of the country is be-
ing direced into its natural chan
nels:
Il believe that the country which
God made is more beautiful than the
city which man made; that life out
of doors and in touch with the earth
is the natural life of man. / believe
that work is work wherever ! find IT.
but that work with nature is more
inspiring than work with the most
intricate machinery. / believe that
the dignity of labor depends not only
upon what you do, but on how you do
it: that opportunity comes TO boy
on the farm as often as to a boy in
the city. and that life is larger and
freer and happier on the farm than
in the town"

Marked Decrease in Gypsy Moth
Results From Government Fight

WASHINGTON, Dec 20 - The
control of such dangerous insects as
the gypsy moth, cotton boil weevil,
alfalfa weevil, green bug, and potato
tuber moth, has kept the office of the
United States department of agricul-
lures entomOlogist busy during the
past year, according to the new an
nual report. Besides directing its at
tentiOn to combating insects that at
tack crops, the office has been active
in attempting to eradicate insects that
affect the health OF man and animals,
such as malaria bearing mosquitoes,
the spOtted-fever tick, and the typhoid
fly. Special attention has been given
to insects injuring forests and those
affecting stored products such as
grain, flour, prepared cereals, meat
and cheese. Work in bee culture has
also progressed satisfactorily.
The gypsy moth campaign, waged
also against its cousin the brown-tail
moth, has been very encouraging
there being a marked decrease this
year in the numbers of both these
pests. Parasites and beetles that at
tack these dangerous insects have
been introduced and have been large
ly instrumental in bringing about
good results. Tolored posters were
prepared by the office illustrating the
gypsy moth and its natural enemies
and these were posted in all post
offices and town offices in the infected
districts and copies were sent to
oranges and public Libraries. The
campaign has also been waged by
mail and Boy Scouts, who have dis
tributed cards bearing the same il
Illustrations.
Development of Insecticides.
A combination spray, composed of
lime-sulphur, arsenate of lead, and
nicotine, has been used successfully
during the year by many orchard
growers, to control insects and fun
gOus diseases. Other pOisons to con-
troll orchard insects have been devel-
oped and are now being tested
Arsenical sprays are being made more
practica BILE for use in combating cram
berry pests in New Jersey. Effective
spraying has also been done in the
pecan orchards of the south, inter
ested growers aiding the department
in the work Remedies are also being
recommended and developed for pests
that endanger apple, peach and pear
orchards.
Boil WeeviI.
The boil weevil did about $4,000
600 worth Of damage to the cotton
crop in 1913, as estimated in the new
report of the entomolOgist. Nearly
Is, 900 square miles of new territory
became infected during the year.
Every effort is being made to con-
troll these depredatiOns, particularly
by the use of powdered OrthOarsenate
Of lead and hand picking of cotton
squares and bolls. Arsenate of lead
was tried with varying results and the
question of its success under practical
plantation conditions today remains
undecided.
ViOlets Endanger Cotton Fields.
Violets growing around a cotton field
seem to give another cotton pest, the

two cents per bushel. The average in
1913 was 60 cents while that of 1914
was 5S cents per bushel.
The same condition prevailed i'm the

Of 44,239.OO bushels while the acre

The wheat acreage for 1914 ex-

The yield for 1914 was 1929 600

A peculiar situation is noted in the
report on the potato crop. Although
the acreage for both 1913 and 1914 is
given as IS. 600 the yield i'm 1914 al
most doubled that Of 1913. The yield

Control of Insects Harmful to Man.
Investigations of buffalo gnats'' and

that they have any relation TO that

eases laid at its door.
The typhoid fly itself is given his

that the fly can be almost completely

Insects Which Damage Telegraph
Poles.
Investigations have been carried on
TO discover remedies for insects which
damage such fOres products as tele-
graph poles, railroad ties and tool
handles. Users of these products are
now putting the results of the Offices
investigation to practical tests. With
hardwood products liable to attack by
the so-called powderpost beetles it has
been found that kerosene and linseed
oils are effective repellents against
these insects. A rather general util-
ization of these oils by manufacturers
has followed this discovery.
