In The hope of preventing a repeti-

amply policed. Administration leaders
claimed that yesterdays resistance OF
the will Of the convention officers was
due TO those really who had no right
10 take part in the deliberations. It
was meant obviously as a protest
against delay in the credentials com

lures Suffer Greatest.

The ravages of the army worm on
the growing crops Of nearly all kinds
are being reported from all sections
Of the county. They have practical
ly devastated the pastures where they
are in appreciate numbers and the
meadow lands have suffered greatly.
While the ravages of the worms are
very apparent upon the wheat, the
impression exists in many sections
Of the county that no great amount of
damage has been done this grain, be-
cause of the fact that in the greater
number of instances, the bugs have
stripped the leaves from the stalk
without doing great harm to the head.
The young corn is apparently the
greatest sufferer of the grains from
the pest, many instances being re-
ported where several acres have been
cleaned up within short time.
