EUROPE OF 100 YEARS

 Washington, D. C.. March 2s.- While the boundaries of Europe to- day are trembling in the balance of war;" says a statement issued today by the National Geographic Society, 1t is Interesting to contrast the Eu- rope of April l, 1915, with the Europe of April 1, 1915. Then Europe was at war just as 1t is now. Then one great nation was standing off host Of Allies just as today the brunt of the present war falls on one great power against a field of Allies. The same five great European nations that are at war now were fighting then. Only, the lineup was different.
 Then, 1t was Europe-Great Brt- tain, Prussia, Austria and Russia against France and Napoleon. Then, as now, the vast armies of the Allies paign of invasion, and, much as is the case today, the fields within present Belgium were first choice for a war theatre. Moreover, a century of poli- tics and diplomacy have made little change in the questions about which wars are waged in Europe. One i'm portant difference was that the Europe of April 1, 1915, had about progressed through a score of years of trouble to a state of dissatisfied. peaceful ex- haustion.
 Napoleon made his Waterloo cam paign in the spring of 1915, and, by July IS it had been decided in favor of the Allies. During the great Elm peror's banishment to Elba, the Pow CTS that had brought about his abdica- ton and in whose hands the settle ment of Europe's troubles lay, plaed the work of recognizing boundaries, the remaking of the map, before a congress, which was called at Vienna in September. 1874. The efforts of this congress became an indefinite se- ries of moves for impossible bargains, and it's deliberations had almost re- sn1ted in war among the bargainers,

While in a fit of temporary insani-
ty, Mrs. Lee Tatum, aged 80, threw
her four children into a 50-foot
well on her farm near Deatsville,
Ala, then jumped in herself. Au
thorities at Deatsville announce that

WORMS KILLING HOGS
NEAR POPLAR BLUFF

Says the Poplar Bluff Republi-
can: Freaks of nature in the form
of worms are the latest to appear in
the county near Poplar Bluff, and
in the city itself.
County Agent Olson has in his
possession a Thorn-headed worm
eleven inches long that was re-
Gently taken from a hog owned by
Louis Grobe, north of the city.
This is the most dangerous sort of
worm to hogs and generally re-
suits in the death of the animal.
The worm penetrates the intestines,
thus causing death after intense
suffering upon the part of the hog.
Mr.. Grobe lost all but five out of
drove of thirty hogs before Mr..
Olson was called and discovered the
cause of the malady Turpentine
as a cure is applied right after the
animal is infected.
What is known as round
worm is also causing a great deal
of annoyance to the hogs in But
Ter county, although the effects
upon the swine are not fatal, as in
the case of the other species.

but usually causes it's greatest dam
age to the corn and wheat.
There are two times of the year
when the insects can be killed. In
the winter after the bug has en-
tered into it's winter quarters and
in the summer when it is migrat-
ing from the small grain to the
cane and corn crops. 1t prefers to
spend the winter in the various
clump forming grass. All grass
land and weedy fields offer favor
able quarters for the insect to
spend the winter.
On corn or cane fields where
the bug has been bad it is well to
turn the stalks under deep in the
early fall. In addition to this all
means should be adopted to pre-
vent offering this insect favorable
winter quarters on the farm. 1t
is possible to kill as high as 9J
per cent of the bugs after they
have entered their winter quarters.
After the winter has set in GO

places where grass and weeds
abound This will of course, in
clude the fence rows, ditch banks
