Poison bait must be used when cut worms become bad. Profes- sor Becker of the Arkansas Col lege of Agriculture recommends this mixtures Wheat bran, 20 pounds; Paris green. one pound; cheap syrup.

Squeeze the lemons or the oran- ges into the water, cut up the peeling and pulp into fine pieces and add this. Now add the syr- up to the fruit juice, then mix the sweetened fruit juice and poison bran thoroughly. Scatter the poison bait in the evening as the worms are not so likely to eat it after it dries.

Indirectly to solicit from either group

inspired by the vatican.
Both groups of belligerents, the pa

pletely victorious, debating conditions
of peace outside of any eXtraneOus in

TO employ all possible means to rem

humanity. If the pope we're present

the treaty would bind the consciences

The pope, it asserts, does not count
upon the European conflict for the so

as Cardinal Gasparri said will not be

AN ALlBI.
HOuser's Defense Is He Wasn't
at Murder Scene.
Court Prevents States Telling
of Other Crimes.

Omaha JAN 14.-The defense be-
gan its testimony today in the case of
Arthur Houser. charged with the muir
der of w H. Smith, cashier for the
Woodmen of the World national head
quarters. The principal witnesses for
the defense is supposed to be Mrs.
May Houser. wife the accused, who
claims her husband was with her at
the time the murder was committed.
The states case was rested unex-
pectedly when Judge English ruled
against the admission of testimony
concerning other crimes charged
against Hauser, some of which he is
ALLEGED to have confessed.
The morning testimony in the case
closed at 1890 amid a wild scene of
disorder when the defense introduced
it's alibi. In answer to a question ask
ed by Edward Rooney, the Topeka
attorney, who is defending Houser,
Mrs. Houser testified that she and her
baby were with her husband at
o'clock on the night of the Smith mur-
der Laundry was delivered at the
Houser home and Houser paid for
she said. The defense closed its testi-
mony and the state placed the laun-
dryman named on the stand and he
testified that he had never delivered
laundry at the home except on Octo-
Der 20, four days after the killing.
On cross-examination the attorney
compelled him to show his receipt
book and it bore the date of October
16, as Mrs. & HOuser testified. The
crowd that jammed the room went
wild. The defense closed. SO did the
state. Judge English was unable to
get order for five minutes. Houser
did not go on the stand. 1t is probable
that the case will go to the jury Satur-
day.
Final arguments were heard today
in the trial of Houser. Before argu-
ments began the court announced the
case would not be given to the jury
until tomorrow morning. One of the
most sensational developments of the
trial came in the testimony of Charles
Linter. a driver for laudry company,
who was put ON the stand to rebut an
alibi established by Mrs. Houser, the
prisoners wife. Mrs Houser was one
of the first witnesses put on the stand
by the defense. Linter's records,
which he had brought into court,
showed that he had delivered laundry
at the Houser home October 16, when
the attorneys for the defense on cross
examination elected this testimony the
crowd which packed the court room
broke into cheers and it was only after
threats by the jurge to clear the court
room that order was restored.
