Successful Grower Living at
0rrick Tells of Methods
for Saving Crop.
PARIS GREEN MAIN INGREDIENT
State Board Of Agriculture Makes
Public Mr.. Pausen's Rules for
DISCRIMINATING the Pest.

Elmer A. Paulsen of Orrick, Mo-, who
has had several years successful ex-
perience in raising potatoes in that
district, reports in few words to Jew
ell Mayes of the Missouri State Board
of Agriculture his methods of destroy
ing the potato bug or beetle, as fol-
lows:
Use one part Paris Green to four
parts air Stacked lime Tor flour). Mix
thoroughly. For small patch may use
dry in gunnysack or flour sack and
shake over potatoes. If it rains soon,
use again. Apply every ten days, or
go over patch and dust spray where
bugs are found. If you prefer wet
spray use about a teaspoonful of Paris
Green in common hand sprinkler.
For field work use four pounds Of
Paris Green to SO gallons of water,
first mixing your poison in a bucket
before putting into barrel. See in
structions furnished with each field
spraying machine. Use on appearance
of first sign of young bugs on leaves.
Cost RUNS high if you are too liberal
n use of spraying liquid, but there
is small danger of injuring the plant.
Certain large growers use dry Paris
Green with horse-driven dust sprayer."

He'd Come Back.

A boy who had done something to
incur the wrath of his mother and
then had taken to his heels was holly
pursued for some distance by her.
Finding 1t was useless to continue
the pursuit, and almost beside herself
with rage, the old lady shouted at the
top of her voice:
an give anybody sixpence to catch
that boy"
The boy instantly stopped and, turn
ing around, shouted in reply:
"Glve me the sixpence and I'll come
back !"

Of these military capes into the fash

those who deal In cloth.
There are far too many designs in
these capes to attempt to describe

rival to the top coat. This Is natural.
Several years of the top coat as con-
slant garment and its increase In fash

one or more into the possession of
most women, until they feel they have
enough top coats to last them until the
fashion is dead.
For several varieties of capes that
are worn, the choice of materials Is
usually limited to thin, dark blue
serge, white broadcloth, black and
white checked WOOL and sometimes
deep red broadcloth.
In all the capes there is no tendency
to hide the openings at the sides which
serve as armholes. There is wide

Flag Colors Too
Frequently Used

New York.-When France went to
war she abolished the Introduction Of
colors into all apparel. When Eng
land went to war she did not change
jot or iota of her life in any man
ner. Mr.. Wells, with his extraordinary
facility for telling the truth in the
guise of fiction has shown us In "Mr.
Britling Sees 1t Through" picture of
England and her greatest war.
When America went to war she in
troduced the red, white and blue into
woman's apparel to such an alarming
manner that one critic truly said that
If this exploitation of the flag contin-
ued, Americans would soon prefer to
see the enemy's flag to their own.
The colors Too Freely Used.
Everywhere we wore the colors.
They not only foated from the win
dows, covered the facades Of houses,
swung from every public building and
hotel, ornamented railroad stations
and draped themselves around monu-
ments, but they were carried by every
motorcar, by the OK wagons Of the
South, by the bicycles Of boys, by the
hucksters on their little carts and even
by the bootblacks' boxes on the cor
ner stands.
When France went seriously, sad
enemy in the shape Of the gray fog
that rolled through Brussels" she did
not exploit one-fiftleth as many flags
as one city in America during the first
week that war was declared; for in
addition to all the methods by which
the flag itself was exploited, several
million people wore the colors In their
buttonholes, wrapped about their hats
and pinned to their shoulders.
Billions of buttons showing the
flag were sold in two weeks, and
then the dressmakers and designers
Of all sorts of woman's apparel saw
to 1t that the colors would be intro
duced into their field of work.
BY this time one begins to feel
that the critic was right. The flag
has become so commonly used that
there should be law to prohibit its
being Haunted in this way. If we
do not succeed in stemming the tide
of clothes made in the red, white
and blue, we shall all become an ami
mated flag moving across the con-
tlnent, made up Of few million
human beings appearing as parts Of
the whole. >
The day that General Joffre ar
rived in New York 1t was the de-
light of the women to wear the red,
white and blue in every possible way,
and some Of the smart set launched
fashions that may become part of the
seasons styles.
There were flag blue frocks of silk
with brilliant red belts or sashes
and white star embroidered on each
shoulder, and there were caps taken
from those of the French Guard Of
1870, with the wide strap under the
chin and the red, white and blue cock
ade floating in front.
There were red, white and blue sun
shades, to match handbags. There
were army capes of every kind In dark
blue lined with red and showing white
satin collars. There were military
suits Of blue serge with lapels and
cuffs Of red and white striped silk, and

LANCASTER WINS
BACK SILVER CUP
Annual Rotary Club Field
Day at Paxtang Followed
by Cornroast and Supper

Lancaster Rotarians took back to
the City of the Red Rose last night
the fiel day championship cup which
Harrisburg won from Lancaster last
year. The Lancastrians ran away
with the athletic meet held at Pax
tang Park yesterday afternoon, the
other contestants being Harrisburg,
York and Reading. The visitors mo-
tored to this city and after the ath-
letic events were treated to a corn
roast and cupper at the large pavilion
in the park.
AS the Rotarfans entered the park
they were met by P. q. Dneier, chair
man of the entertainment committee,
and direce to the shooting gallery
and the skeeball alleys. where the
first frienly contests took place. They
went then to the baseball field back
of the park, where a baseball game
between Lancaster and Harrisburg
took place. President Andrew l.. Bu-
chanan was umpire and was scath-
ingly rebuke dby both grandstand and
bleacherS because he declined abso-
lutely to make every decision in favor
of the home team. There were dark
rumors about the grounds that he
had been bribed by the visitors, a
large cake of Lancaster county cheese
having been found in one of his coat
pockets shortly after the game was
called. Lancaster won.
cccf Only one untoward incident
marked the game. and that occurred
when John Musser tried to chase
Captain George Lumb off first base
at the point of revolver and was
arrested by two State policemen who
were on the grounds to preserve or
der among the belligerent Rotarians,
They let him go again WIN it was
found that his gun was loaded with
blanks and after "Rufe" McCord ex-
planned that he never became violent

The Reading Rotarians. went clear
to the bad in the contests. having
been out to a dinner the night before
where the doctrines of the Hon.
Herbie Hoover were absolutely ig-
nored, and still being somewhat the
worse for their feasting. York also
fell down on the job and the contests
lay between Harrisburg and Lancas-
ter, but 1t may as we'll be stated that
Harrisburg would have been white
washed if 1t hadn't been for Charley
Boil and Dwight Raker, who showed
fine form in all events. Bob" Lyon
and Charlie" Stevens showed up well
at quoits but their scores did not
figure in the final results. After IL
was all over, Scorekeeper Ralph Dow
dell said he "be hanged IL he knew
who the winners were, but anyway
Lancaster had the most points; SO
what was the difference?"
At the dinner which followed, Pres
ident Buchanan presided and present
ed the silver cup to President s. r.
Fraim, of the Lancaster club, who in
turn presented Mr. Buchanan with an
enormous red rose, the symbol OF
Lancaster, from the center of which
flew two live pigeons, symbolic OF

while there are many forms of
stomach trouble" says a physician
who has made a special study of
stomach disorders, II believe that
fully 80 per cent of these cases are
traceable to the excessive secre-
tion of hydro chloric acid in the
stomach with consequent food fer
mentation, gas and delayed diges-
ton"
The stomach needs certain
amount of acid for proper diges-
tion, but many people have an un-
natural tendency to secrete more
acid than their stomach requires.
This excess acid makes all the
trouble.
Their stomachs are almost con-
stantly in a state of sourness and
ferment, extremely irritating and
inflaming to the stomach lining
and most everything they eat dis
agrees and turns to gas. No Won
der we have so much so-called in
digestion and dyspepsia.
An acid stomach" should be neu-
tralized or sweetened daily with
