WARNING TO FARMERS
OF ATLANTIC STATES
Outbreak of the True Army Worm
May be Pending. Farmers Should
be- Prepared.


be Prepared.
Washington, ID. C., July ie--An un-
usual abundance OF the moth Of the
True Army Worm In Maryland, Vir-
ginia, and the District Of Columbia in
dicates the possibility OF an impending
outbreak Of this destructive pest in the
Atlantic States. The moths, the ento-
mologists Of the U. S. Department Of
Agriculture report, were laying their
eggs during the first week Of July and
as IL takes from three to four weeks
for the eaterpillars TO mature, their
presence should begin to be quite ap-
parent about the last week in July to
the first week Of August.
Farmers should be on the alert to
discover this pest in its younger
stages, before II has reached large
size and has committed irreparable
damage to growing crops, especially
grasses and grains
Spray
When the army worm is discovered
at work the infested spots should be
sprayed Immediately with a solution
of powdered arsenate Of lead, 2
pounds to so gallons Of water. II
Paris Green, pound; freshly slaked
lime, pounds; water, so gallons. The
lime is necessary as preventive of
burning by the Paris green which is
quite caustic when used on tender
plants such as corn.
Poisoned Bran Bait
When spraying is impracticable the
poisoned bran bait is recommended.
II is made as follows: Wheat bran,
80 pounds; Paris green, ! pound, or
white arsenic or powdered arsenate of
lead, pounds; lowgrade mo'asses, 8
to quarts.
The bran and poison should be thor
.oughly mixed while dry and the mo-
lasses afterwards added, kneading and
stirring the mass until it is easily
broken into small bits. The addition
OF six finely CHOPPED lemons has been
found to add value to the bait In some
cases. The poisoned bait should be
scattered broadcast where the worms
are at work or in their parth or among
them while them are on the march.
Ditchinp
When the army worms are moving
together in mass they may be halted
and destroyed by plowing out or Dig
ging a narrow ditch with steep sides
directly across their path. The worms
fall into this ditch in large numbers
and may be crushed readily by drag
ging a log or chunk Of wood back and
forth through the ditch
Have Arsenate or Paris Green at Hand
All farmers should keep on hand a
few pounds of one of the standard IN
secticides such as arsenate OF lead or
Paris green because of the fact that
the delay of few hours, usually nee
essary in order to procure insecticides
in an emergency, enables the army
worm to do irreparable damage to
crops. The insecticides mentioned
will not spoil if kept in a dry condi-
ton in covered containers. Farmers
Bulletin No. 731 contains full ac-
count Of the army worm and may be
secured free Of charge upon applica-
tion to the Secretary of Agriculture.

VERMONT
Dear little State among the dark green
hills,
Who for thy never-changing bounds
didst take
The long, bright river and the azure
lake,
And whose deep lap the short-lived
summer fills
With sudden sweetness till its wealth
o'erspills,-
How shall we sing thee for thy
beauty's sake,
Or praise thee in a voice that shall
not break
For pathos Of the theme wherewith
it thrills?
What if on flying feet thy summers
go,
And the strict gods of beauty and of
power
Poured in a casket small thy peer
less dover?
Who would not rather feel loves fierc-
est throe
Than count the vacant years the love-
less know
Reign with the rose her one imperial
hour
Than live the summer-long a meaner
flower?
Be glad; thy crown is greener for the
snow.
Swarm after swarm thy children have
gone forth
But still the old hive keeps its gold
en- store,
Filled by the same bright service as
before
With frugal bounty and unwasted
worth;
And still they fly, far west and south
and north;
i Then murmur fills the land from
shore to shore;
And If but few return, what myriads
more
Dream of thy face and bless thee for
their birth!
They dream of thee! OF them dost
thou not dream?
Didst thou not show them in their
happy prime
Thy deep-wood secrets-teach them
In their time
The lapsing legend of the lingering
stream
Awe with the shadow, lure them with
the gleam--
And at the first touch Of the autumn
rime
Weave them the glamor Of magic
cline,
And paint their palace with the rain
bows beam?
And they are still thy children, though
their feet
Follow hard trails in the tumultuous
town,
Or to the mighty waters have gone
down;
And though they long have heard the
surges beat
On alien shores, and alien tongues
repeat
Their names, and of new men have
earned renown,
They are thy children still, and
every crown
They win is thine, and makes thy
dream more sweet.
At times thy musings take a darker
hue,
And thou hast sight of some war
furrowed field
Where once the smoking squadrons
charged and wheeled,
When Liberty her periled trumpet
blew,
And down through all the wales thy
heroes flew,
With thy cold deathless valor fired
and steeled,
To make the glorious legend on thy
shield,
Freedom and Unity" forever true.
Mother Of Men whom the green hills
enthrone,
From whose bright feet the rivers
haste away,
Thou Of the ages art - we Of
uay,
let we have loved thee and thy love
have known,
And il with too faint breath our reeds
are blown

WILSON cor A FEW SCRATCHES
Voters Are Beyond All Understand-
 ing; Blk on Committeeman.

Little Rock, April 4.-(Special.)- The vagaries of the average voter are beyond all understanding. He does some remarkable things when he gets into the polling booth, as every judge of an election can testify. It is noted that Woodrow Wilson got number of scratches in the recent primary, the first time the name of a candidate for the presidency ever appeared on Q ticket in an Arkansas primary. Just what the voters thought they could ac- complish by scratching his name does not appear. It may have been donu by that class of voters who appear to have been rather numerous, who voted against any man holding office or that had ever held office. That hap pened frequently. Another of the od- dities is the man who votes for one candidate for some particular office, and scratches everything also on the ticket Thereby he administers ter rife rebuke to what he must consider to be the rottenness of all things con- nected with the administration of pub lie affairs. Those who have never been election judge cannot appreciate how many ballots are improperly made out, and that can therefore be counted only for such officers as are properly voted. The average voter us- ually balks at the long lists of com mitteemen, or delegates, or justices or the peace at the end of a long ticket, and runs his pencil through the whole list CT does not mark them at all, which is just the same in effect, since he votes for no one. As a rule, the voter will count off from the top the number of names he is instructed to Nxote for and scratch everybody else
 This is practical fact which accounts for every candidates desire to have
 his name printed at the top.

} AIR RAIDS
 IN 3 NIGHTS
Casualties Greater Than in All Prev. jus Zeppelin Attacks Oa British
 Coast; 59 Killed.

London, April 3.-The coast of Scotland and the northern and south crn counties of England were attack ed b. Zeppelins Sunday night accoro- ias to an official announcement by the Secretary of War.
 The announcement says: "A zepplin raid took place Sun day light when the coast of Scot lal.d and the northern and southeast cfn CoYnties of England were attack cd.
 'Bombs were dropped at var1ous l'aces. No details are available.'' London April 2.-With the exception of the big raid of January 31, when tue casualties were 67 persons killed and Iii injured the Zeppelin raids of Friday and Saturday night caused srsater loss of life than any previous aerial t,tts ok this year.
 The total causalties for the two Lights, according to an official report,
 were 59 persons killed and 166 wound ed
 As some compensation for this sac rifice of life, however, the British pub lie funds satisfaction in practical proof afforded of a great improvement 1 in the defensive methods dealing with aerial incursions For the first time since the inception of this method or
 warfare om the British coat, not only has one raiding Zeppelin been brought down and its crew taken prisoners, but the official report recounts an ex- citing aerial fight between a Zeppe- lin and British airman, Lieutenant
 Brandon, who, going to a height of 5000 feet, fled over the raider and dropped several bombs ont 1t with effect.
 Alfred Brandon, the British airman,
 is a native of Wellington, N Z., He is ! 32 years old and only joined the fly ing corps last July.

AyiatOr'S Brave Feat.


 The machine of Lieutenant Brandon was hit several times by machine gun bullets from the Zeppelin. It is still unknown whether the Zeppelin in this fight was the L-15 which was brought down off the Thames estuary, or an other craft which is believed to nave dropped it's machine gun, petrol tank and ether parts.
 One Raider Turned Back. Saturday nights raid was much leso serious than that of Friday night. Only the most meager details of the last attack, however, are yet available. According to these cnly one of two raiders succeeded in passing the coast the ether being turned back. Sixteen persons were killed in this raid, of whom six were women and children. About a hundred persons were injur- ed.
 Lieutenant Commander Breithaup,, commander of the Zeppelin L-l5 In an interview with the Associated Press disavowed any desire CT intention to kill civilians in air raids, though he admitted they might unfortunately fall victims to the more important military objects of raids.He asserted that aircraft commanders are able to define buildings below them, but are unable to determine how close the b mbs will go to the object at which they are dropped.

MENINGITIS CLAIMS
 1ST CHILD VICTIM
Ashby Baby Succumbs to Dread Disease. Five
 Dead CT Dying

With five meningitis victims dead and a sixth reported dying, there re mains but one of the seven people tsricken with the dread disease who has a chance of recovery. That is the young Mexican boy, whose case was the first to appear in the neigh borhood.
 Yesterday the epidemic claimed its first child victim, Ruth, the two year old daughter of AIr. and Mrs. Wiley W. AshDy, of 2S Tombstone canyon. The child was taken i'll Saturday night and died early yesterday morn ing. af.
 The seventh case is that of George Orr, baker, who was stricken Sun day night. His condition has grown steadily worse and late last night he was reported sinking. II was believed he could not live until morning. Orr formerly was employed in the Cal ifornia bakery on Brewery avenue. but severed his connection with the place several days before he became ill.
 Dr. Ralph Herendeen, the city health officer, last night wired Surgeon Gen eral Blue at Washington, asking for any suggestions that might aid the local physicians in combating the disease. Dr. Blue is at the head of the United States public health serv- ice, and is regarded as the. foremost authority on outrageous diseases in the country.

BUSINESS ROOMS IN STATE 0F ARIZONA IS
 VISITORS OPINION
H. D. McVay, Telephone Man Ami Former Bisbee Resi- dent, Tells of Progress All Over the State of Arizona

That business, throughout the state of Arizona and from every conceivable standpoint, is on the swing toward its zenith, is the declaration and be lief of Il. D. McVay, former Bisbee resident, telephone expert, Arizona | booster in general and Phoenix boost CT in particular. and at present pere- grinating in these border points.
 ''I have recently returned from a more or less complete trip around the state, particularly the northern part" said McVay, yesterday, who, with Mrs. McNay, expects to spend a week or ten days ill Bisbee's salubrious clim- ate, before plunging into the summer of Phoenix and vicinity, and l find that business conditions, generally are excellent.
 ''The north is flourishing. With its mines, its stock, it's timber and its en- terprising people it may be called the coming section of Arizona. Jerome and Oatman appear to be the mining centers. of the north while Prescott, Flagstaff and Holbrook hold the cen ter of interest from other standpoints.
 From all over the state, and from the outside, BisDee is given the herald for business advantages, conditions and prospects and I can certainly veri- fy those reports. Geographically Bisbee and the Warren District doesn't change much but underlying the whole is a sense of security.
 McVay is Bisbee booster, as well as Phoenician by adoption. He was the first manager for the present own CTS of the local telephone system and before that was connected with the water company. He organized the Commercial Club in the District and was one of the best known and most popular residents of the section at the time. His popularity has not dimin- ished with his departure for larger fields and his fondness for Bisbee as- serts itself on the occasion of each of his too infrequent trips to these parts.

BAILEY IS STILL THE
 NOMINEE FOR OFFICE
Though Working in Mines, Popular Democrat is
 Still in Running

Charlie Bailey is handling mother earth. It is in line with his future work connected with the position of superintendent of streets. In other words C. A. Bailey has returned to work in the mines but is still the Democratic nominee for the office of superintendent of streets and is mak- ing his race from the side lines in- stead of from his former work.
 ''I am working in the ground" said Bailey yesterday. ''I am handling rock and Bisbees streets are con structed principally of that product of Mother Earth. When election time appears l will be in better position to handle the work of the street super intendent which I trust the voters will confer upon me, than ever before."
