Green Bug on the Job.
Hickman Herald.l


The spring aphis, popularity known
as the green bug, has appeared in
grain fields in western Kentucky and
southern Missouri. The danger of this
pest doing serious damage in spring
depends to great extent upon the
weather now and the middle of April.
II the temperature during this period
is sufficiently high to enable the green
bug to breed throughout the winter
and at the same time sufficiently low
to prevent its principal natural enemy
"a minute black, four-winged fly
from developing, a serious infestation
over a large area may be expected.

Curious Dog Malady.

A new and curious malady has
broken out in the Hiseville country
among the stray dogs, yellow dogs and
any old dog. About the commonest
sight to behold in that section is a
dead dog lying around at any old time
and at any old place. From some un-
known cause and reason, the dogs are
dying by the wholesale and what dis
ease or what means" is sending them
to dog heaven" is not known. Some
dead 'uns" are seen by the roadside;
some are found in the backyards and
some lay down and die in the front
yard. That part of the country will
soon be rid of their CANNES if the dog
death rate keeps up much longer.

LARGE CAVALRY FORCE
MOVES INTO MEXICO

Columbus, n. NJ, March 20.-A
large body of American cavalry left
here today The troops, which were
brought here from Texas border
points were preceded by a motor
train carrying supplies. Whether the
detachment will serve as separate
command in the effort to capture
Francisco Villa or whether it is to
join the punitive expeditionary force
now in the field under General Per-
shing somewhere in northern Chi
huahua was not indicated by military
authorities here.
Accompanying the troops were a
number of American civilian scouts,
said to know the mountain trails of
Chihuahua. in which villa Is reported
to be fleeing, as the city man knows
his front yard. Wearing the SOM
brero of the frontier heavily roweled
spurs, and with little wrinkles at the
corners of their eyes, bespeaking lives
spent in the open, those scouts form
what is said to be the most pictur-
esque group of men in the expedition
ary force.
Military men frankly admit that
upon their knowledge of the district
in which villa Is reported to be flee
ing, rests much of the hope for the
capture Of the bandit. 1t is these vol
unteers, many of whom villa drove
from their homes and their property
in Mexico. that are leading the Amer
lean columns to The water holes and
to the hiding places in the mountains
in which the bandit and a few of his
followers might seek to evade the
American pursuit
That more Vilistas than the sew
enty-nine already accounted for were
killed in the running engagement fol-
lowing the raid on Columbus, was in
dicated in the discovery of three ad-
ditional bodies, reported here today
by II. X. Lennon. a ranchman. Mr.
Lennon asserted that one Of the
bodies is clad in the uniform of a
lieutenant and that they were found
lying just north of the boundary three
miles south of here.

RAIL ROADS Of
COUNTRY SHOW
GREAT EARNINGS
Eastern Companies Have Prac-
ticaIIy Doubled Gross In
comeSi Southwest Not En-
joying Prosperity,

tnY MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL lthstn NirhJ
Washington, March 20.--Net reve-
nues of eastern railroads of the
United States virtually have been dou-
bled within twelve months, according
to figures made public today by the
Interstate Commerce commission.
Southern railroads increased their
net revenue more than so per cent
within this period, while the western
roads added about l6 per cent. These
comparisons, covering the months OF
January, show that eastern roads re-
ceved an average net revenue of $500
per mile operated, compared with
1907 per mile a year previous; south
ern roads 1916 per mile, against $2O5
in 1915, and western roads, s210 per
mile, against $lS7.
Experts attribute the wide disparity
in the ratio of increase between east
ern and western roads largely TO the
poor showing of railroads in Texas,
Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona
and to some extent, 10 the virtual ces-
sation of commerce with Mexico.
Railroad experts are now seeking to
learn why southwestern roads nave
failed to respond proportionately to
the general revival of prosperity
throughout the country.
A little more than year ago south
western roads were in virtually the
same predicament as the southern,
the southern roads perhaps being in
worse financial condition than the
southwestern. Wages in some depart
ments were reduced, men were iad
off and rigid economies instituted.
Today southern railways are more
prosperous than for some time.
