THE APHIS

Small, green bugs aboutone-eighth

time been suspected of doing much
harm to Wisconsin's annual crop CT
peas, which is one of the many things
to which Badger boosters with pride.
Wintering on clover land, these pests
migrate in the spring to the nearest
planting of pea vines, and there COM
plete their existence at the expense
of the farmer and the packer. To find
ways Of controlling this annual pest,
L. G. Gentner ofthe Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station staff has been as
signed to studying ways of fighting
the aphis. He will also seek for con-
troll methods against another harm
full insect, the pea weevil, which to-

known as blight, are standing in the
way of progress in Wisconsin pea

FARMER HANGS
HIMSELF NEAR
PITTSVILLE

| John T. Greenwell, farmer living
about seven miles west of Pittsville
in the town of Cary, was found hang
ing by the neck in barn on his prop
erty by his wife early yesterday morn
ing.
Mr.. Greenwell, who about twelve
years ago was an inmate of the Nor
thern Hospital for the Insane, has
shown signs Of mental arrangement
for the last two or three years and
was constantly getting worse. About
three weeks ago he left one morning
and walked to the vicinity of City
Point where he was found and brought
back to the farm. Tuesday evening
he complained of a severe headache
and acted in an uneasy manner.
About five o'clock Wednesday morn
ing, Mrs. Greenwell woke and found
that he was not in the house. She
Immediately started to search for him
and found him in the barn, hanging
by the neck from a rope that was at
tached to a cross bar in hay chute
She called in some neighbors who
took the body and District Attorney
John Roberts and Sheriff Cliff Bluett
were notified and went to the scene of
the suicide.
When the officials arrived, the body
was lying on the loft floor of the
barn covered with a cloth. There was
a bruise on the neck where the hasp
of the rope had struck the flesh and
also a deep circle around the neck
caused by the rope, DR.. Beyers' opin-
ion was that the neck was broken.
It appeared that the man had tied
a rope to cross piece in the hay
chute and then tying the other end
around his neck, jumped down the
chute.
No inquest was held as it was plain
ly a case of suicide.
Mrs. Greenwell said she knew he
was in bad way, but did not want
him taken to the asylum as she
thought she could take care of him.
He was between fifty and fifty-fve
years of age and leaves besides his
wife, five children, three of whom are
living at home.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Petrograd May 6.-(By Mail)-
David R. Francis, former Governor of
Missouri now new American Ambas-

of Why is an American Embassy? In
cidentally he is hit. And they say
he is doing it by being a plain Ameri-

people, and that is what I am going to
do to the very best of my ability"
This Herrick did. When the war
burst on Europe like thunderclap he
cut red tape right and left and figur-
atively went at things in his shirt
sleeves. He assisted Americans in
plain, effective, straightforward ways
And he made the biggest hit with the
French, high and low, of any ambassa
dor since Franklin.
From what Americans here say
David R. Francis bids fair to dupli-
cate Herrick's success, and in much
the same way. He has turned the

children were painfully, the former

Junction City.
The children are daughters of Mr..
and Mrs. Joseph A. Filipkowski, re-
siding just north of Junction City
and near the railroad tracks. The
little girls with other children were
picking Strawberries and playing
near the tracks. The two who were
struck were playing horse and ran
onto the track just as the locomotive
approached. They had a rope of
which each had hold AS they saw
the train approach they ran across
the track and then started back when
they were struck. Stephonia suf-
fered severe fracture at the base
of the brain and was dying when her
little sister was placed aboard a 500
line train and brought to this city
this afternoon. The younger child
suffered from bruises on her head
and back, but her condition is not
considered particularly alarming.
She was able to tell the physicians
how the accident happened.
