That Cook, the little village located
on the line of the D. w. & P.,, about

Gently been placed on the market. The

Land company. The Little Fork river.

LITTLE GREEN WORMS
ARE DOING DAMAGE

"The little green slender worms,
caused by the white butterfly seen
fitting about gardens, is doing con-
siderable damage to cabbages and
cauliflower," says P. L. Johnsrud,
local agricultural director. "Several
inquiries have been received from Vir-
ginia people as to the best remedy.
"Pyrethrum powder mixed with five
times it bulk of flower and busted into
the cabbage just at nightfall is good
remedy. The flour should be mixed
with the pyrethrum over night. Hand
picking may be used on small
scale. If the worms are troublesome
where cabbage is grown on large
scale it is customary to use arsenical
poison mixed with flour, as recon-
mended for the potato bug. The pois-
on cannot be applied in water, as it
will not stick to the leaves.
"These poisons, it is evident to any,
one, can be safely applied before the
plants commence to head, and recent
careful trials and analysises of cab
bage thus treated with Paris green
show there is very little danger in u.s.
ing it at any stage Of the plants"

ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Lyric.

Tonight at the Lyric the Harry St.
Clair Stock company presents the
great western drama, entitled "The
Girl of the Golden West" This is
the play that Blanche Bates starred in
from coast to coast. I has been one of
the most successful and widely talked
Of bills ever put before the public. 1t
deals with a young western girl, who
at her fathers death inherits his sa-
loon and gambling hall, and the men of
the camp prove her best friends. She
meets and falls in love with an out
law without knowing the true char
acter of the man. He makes VOW to
never touch penny not honestly
earned, but before he can get away to
start a new life he is discovered by the
men of the mining camp and many ex-
citing events follow, chief of which
is the card game in the second act
which "The Girl" plays with the sher-
iff for the life of the outlaw, after
she, learns who and what he really is.
There are several interesting and droll
characters, and the atmosphere is
purely western. An Indian girl, cow
boys and a Mexican go to make this
play the best of it's kind.

FIGHT FANS ARE !.
STRONG FOR PAL
Virginians Do Not Like to See
the Hibbing Boxer Fight
Larson.

Virginia fight fans, admirers of
Pal Brown, the Hibbing lightweight
fighter who is booked to go through
10 rounds with Chuck Larson, the
fighting Swede of Chicago, tomorrow
night before the Arena Boxing club
at Superior, feel somewhat peeved to
think the Hibbing boy would take a
chance with a Windy City miller.
AS a matter of fact Brown is TAX
ing an unnecessary chance Of being
tied up in draw decision. These
same boys met in Duluth on JAN
uary 10, 1911, the bout being staged
in Duluth. It went 10 rounds, Brown
handing Larson a knockout in the
last minute of that session.
Larson is fighter Of the purely
battling kind who just loves to shoot
'em through right and left. There is
no such thing as stop with him. He
mixes all the time. Of course, this is
Browns own style of going. He loves
the whirlwind variety. But what the
fans here take exception to is the
fact that Brown, having better rep
utation than Larson and a number of
good money bouts in view is foolish
to take a chance,
