GET THE CORN INSECTS.
Hero Arc Directions Brief and to tho
Point For Their Control.

TOIHr For IHeIT VoHHTots
The common western corn worm
feeds only on the roots Of corn. Ro-
tation is the sure cure In this case.
Wireworms live for four or five
years in the soil and are hard to con-
troll on this account. They bother
most In poorly drained land. Good
drainage helps to control them.
Corn root lice are constantly looked
after. by the common little brown ant.
II the ants nests are scattered by con-
slant cultivation the ants have all they
can do to look after their own homes,
and have no time to take care OF the
root lice. Cultivation. therefore. helps
in more ways than one.

OFFICIALS ARE LAX
Brewster Says MissOurians Do Not
Enforce Liquor Laws.

Attorney General Brewster today
paid his respects to lax liquor law
enforcement by Missouri state and
county officials. In a letter to Gov
ernor Capper Brewster made clear
that several Missouri officials would
not enforce the law until made to
do so.
The Brewster letter is the second
sent to Governor Capper in ten days
concerning state line liquor houses
Recently he stated that trouble was
encountered in the enforcement of the
law in this state because liquor houses
on the Missouri Kansas line were per-
mitted to remain open. Governor
Capper wrote to Governor Gardner of
Missouri. The governor said the Ii
quor houses could not be closed be-
cause of supreme court decision per-
hitting the storing of liquor in local
option districts.
Il think that the county attorney of
Barton county," said Brewster, in his
letter to the governor, sis willing to
do his duty. L do not believe the
county attorney of Jasper county has
any intention of performing his duty
And the Missouri officials may take
that home and make the most of it.

ment on the eastern lines with it's
and trackage, was to be worked out
by the committee in conjunction with
the railroads board.
Which railroads actually were to be
brought into the new efficiency
scheme remained to be decided, it
was likely that the Pennsylvania, the
Baltimore & Ohio, the New York Cen
trail, the Western Maryland and one
or two other war traffic lines would
at once be directed to pool their cars
and report on congested traffic con-
ditions. Which roads shall be denied

The vice-presidents will consider
means of Immediately subordinating

also is expected
Further elimination of parallel and

If. however, the committee fails to
find solution for the traffic burden,
