THE "GREEN BUG"

Washington, d. O., December 6
The "green bug" otherwise
known as the spring grain aphis,
has made its appearance in Ten
nessee, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas
and New Mexico. Farmers are
urged by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture to watch
their fields carefully for spots
where the pest is abundant and
the wheat plants change to a red
or yellow color. Such spots or
areas should be Immediately plow-
ed under and rolled, or if straw is
abundant, this should be spread
over the spots and burned. The
danger of serious outbreak in the
coming spring will depend upon
weather conditions between this

OUR MARINE CORPS.

President Wilson is asking Con
gress to increase the strength of
the United States Marine Corps
by 1900 men, and, in editorial COM
ment on bis preparedness plan, it
may be interesting for the reader
to know that:
1. The United States Marine
Corps was authorized by the Con-
tinental Congress on November 10,
1775, and therefore has the dis
tinction of being the Oldest branch
of the service.
2. Lieutenant P. N. O'Bannon
of the United States Marine Corps
holsted the first American flag ever
flown over a fortress of the Old
World, when Derne, stronghold
in Tripoli, was taken by assault on
April 27, 1906.
3. The first regulars who enter.
ed the fortress of Chapultepec in
Mexico City when it was taken by
storm on September IL, l847, were
the United States Marines under
Major Levi Twigg.
4. Under the command of Robert
D. Lee, later the commanding gen.
eral of the Confederate Army, the
United States Marines captured
John Brewn at Harper's Ferry in
1859.
5. A battalion of marines under
Captain John l.. Broome occupied
New Orleans upon it's surrender
and hoisted the American flag on

RAILWAY PROGRESS.

The policy Of preparedness with
relation to the conduct of rail-
road is reflected in the Nashville,
Chattanooga and st, Louis Rail-
way. Recently five new Mikado
type freight locomotives ave~been
put in service on the Nashville
division to take care of the increas.
ing traffic as result Of the opening
of the Paducah and Illinois Rail
way, with which the N. c.. and st.
Il. connects at Paducah and over
which road, by reason of it's con-
nection with the Burlington, much
business will be handled from the
Northwest over the new railroad
bridge at Metropolis, ILL.,. which is
now building.
In connection with this business
it is planned to enlarge the rail-
road yards at Hollow Rock juno
tion and to greatly increase the
facilities at this point, not only in
handling the freight traffic, but to
eliminate as far as possible any
delays in handling the passenger
traffic at this point.
The work of strengthening the
bridges on the Nashville division
has already begun between Nash
vile and Harding and between
Bellevue and Newsom. Two of
the bridges will be replaced with
ballasted deck girders, and later it
is proposed to reduce the grades
on this division, the Surveyor this
work having already been made.
In this connection the company
will build a spur around Cowell's
