fenced to fourteen years hard labor
in the Waupun state prison with one
day of solitary confinement, for muir
der in the second degree.
Judge Clementson had spent Sun
day with his family at Lancaster and
returned by auto Monday noon. At
the opening of court on Monday af-
ternoon the picking of jury began
at once and the twelve men in whose
hands the fate of Mrs Drinkwater's
case should rest were chosen by 4:30
and the actual work on the case be-
gun at 500 when Luther Mckinley
who lives across the river from
Bridgeport and who had hung around
the berg all day and was still there
when the tragedy occurred, was eX-
amined. His testimony was practi-
cally the same as that given at the
inquest and charged Mrs. Drinkwater
with the killing Of her former hus-
band, although she was in his en-
plOy as a bartender when she commit
ted the murder.
Roy Pugh of Soldiers Grove, and
paramour Of the woman, aged 10, and

FARMERS PREVENT
CUTWORM DAMAGE
AGRICULTURAL WRITER DISCUS
SEES SUBJECT OF KEEN INTER
EST TO ALL CORN GROWERS.
METHODS ARE SEVERAL.

A writer on agricultural subjects
discusses the damage done by cut
worms to the corn crop and offers the
following suggestions:
How to Prevent CutwCrm Losses.
Land to be planted to corn the fol-
lowing spring., especially such land as
has laid in grass for considerable
time and is likely to contain cut
worms, should be plowed in mid-sum-
mer or early fall about the time the
eggs are laid, or better, before the
eggs are laid, for then vegetation
which is suitable for the moths to lay
their eggs upon is removed. The earl
Ter the. preceding year grasslands TO
be planted to corn are plowed the less
will be the probability that the cut
worm moths will have laid their eggs
thereon, and the less, consequently
will be the danger of injury by cut
worms the following year.
Late fall and winter blowing Of
grasslands, although not as effective
as early blowing, will destroy many
Of the alternating cutwCrms, as we'll
as such other important corn pests IS
white grubs, and should be practiced
when earlier blowing is impractic-
able
Pasturing hogs upon land suppos-
ed to haTbOr cutwCrm3 is a beneficial
practice, as these animals root up and
devour insects Of many kinds, incIuG-
ing cutwOrms in large numbers. Farm
poultry, if trained to follow the plow
will prove Of inestimable value.
Preparation and Distribution Of
Poisoned Bats.
When cutWOrms are found to be
abundant on corn land, the use Of the
poisoned bait is recommended. This
may be prepared as follows: Mix so
pounds Of wheat bran, 2 pounds of
Paris green, and finely chopped Or
anges or lemons. Then bring the
whole mixture to the consistency of
stiff dough by the addition Of or
lots OF lOw-grade molasses, such as
is used in cattle rations, adding water
when necessary. Distribute this bait
over the field in small Jumps, taking
care to sprinkle it sparingly around
each hill. This should be used at
about to pounds to the acre, and
can be broadcasted by hand In case
bran cannot be readily obtained, mid
dlings or alfalfa meal may be sue
cessfully substituted. In fields known
to be infested, the distribution Of this
bait should be started as soon as the
corn begins to appear above ground
SO that the cutworms may be elimin-
ated as quickly as possible and the in
jured hills promptly replanted. Dur
ing the warmer spring months the
cutworms do most Of their feeding
at night and burrow into the soil to
the depth Of an inch or two during the
day, SO that the bait will usually be
more effective if applied during the
late afternoon or early evening hours.
Frequently cutworms migrate to
cultivated fields from adjoining grass
lands, and in such cases the crop can
be protected by running a narrow band
Of the poisoned bait around the edge
Of the field or along the side nearest
the source Of infestation

WHY M'ADOO QUIT

! Providence Journal: The basic rea-
son for the withdrawal of William G.
( McAdoo from the cabinet is not, as
! stated for public consumption, the
! fact that the secretary Of the treas.
( ury found it impossible to live in
| Washington on his official salary,
/! but that he found himself in total
disagreement with what he considers
| the presidents set purpose to impose
government ownership or govern
ment control of all public utilities in
this country. He was determined to
remain no longer a member OF cabi-
net which was fast drifting into that
policy.
clashed With Wilson.
Mr. McAdoo has never been a pub
lie ownership man. His recent ex-
perience as director general Of the
railroads not only strengthened him
in this belief but brought him into
continuous and acrimonious discus
sion with Mr.. Wilson and some OF
his fellow cabinet members on the
subject of the future of the rail-
roads.
He has insisted from the start that
the roads be returned to their owners
at the earliest possible moment after
the close OL Inc Wal. his iuSeiS liz V
been bitterly opposed. With the sign
ing of the armistice the situation ne
came so acute that he was compelled
to make his choice between resigning
as member of the presidents Off
cial family or remaining III office
and helping to formulate policy en-
sirely distasteful to him.
Opposed Cable Move.
When the president gave his sane
ton to the taking over OF the cables
by Postmaster General Burleson. Mr..
McAdoo vigorously opposed this move
as one disastrous alike to the polit-
ical fortunes of the administration
and the interests Of the United
States. The Journal is in possession
of the fact that he presented these
ideas to Mr. Wilson without any
mincing of words at the time he
wrote his letter OF resignation.
At least two other members Of the
cabinet are in the same frame OF
mind as Mr. McAdoo, and men within
administration circles are well aware
that in this attitude the insurgents
are supported by Colonel House, who
reached the parting Of the ways with
MIR. Burleson several months ago.
If Mr.. McAdoo has ambitions in
the direction Of the presidential nomi
nation in 1920 he will not only not be
supported by friends of the present
administration but will be strenu-
ously opposed by them. They are al
ready beginning to suggest that the
secretary of the treasury has seen fit
to disassociate himself from Mr.. VIII
son because of these ambitions.

ness at the outbreak Of the war, but the means
| to bring to realization the prospective expan-
sion they promised were held back by lack OF
cooperation, by lack Of full knowledge OF con-
ditions and by fear Of international compica
tons.
But out of the wars carnage and as a COM
pensating force to help in replacing Its indus
trial wreckage, there are seen new impulses and
new means for expediting the industrial expan-
sion which was stoppd in 1914. First and fore
most there is joint need of it; each nation has
its own interest at heart but the strong spirit
of cooperation for joint good is greatly stimu-
lated The mingling of men in this war as well
as the intimate relations of governments has
done much for mutual understanding and for
genuine trust Racial barriers have been
broken down. old prejudices removed; pro-
vincialsm ended. Moreover, the war has &C
tually increased the industrial capacity of the
lbelligerent nations immensely; it has qulckened
invention and stimulated the spirit of adven
ture in men as well; it has demonstrated new
possibilities. The conditions for exploring, ex-
plotting and industrially organizing the hinter-
lands of the world are better than ever before
in the worlds history Instead of dreading
reaction because the stimulation of industry by
the war has seemed to forecast a surplus of
workers, there is ample work ready at hand
for all the worlds workers at top capacity
when projects already in mind can be started
Here then is vision to inspire confidence
and to set this nation at its peace work full Of
energy to do it's part in realizing the vision
Industry is the worlds greatest blessing, and

The latest paper in the series being issued
by the Guaranty Trust Company of New York

strength Of the message is in the logic of its
conclusions drawn from information gathered

Before the war broke in upon world trade,
the great commercial nations were looking for
new fields to conquer There had come a period
of oyer-intensive development of production
which seemed to demand readjustment of in
dustrial forces, but the remedy was being
sought not in contraction of production but in
expansion of markets In proof of this con-
tention, the Guaranty bulletin gives detailed
description of the transportation projects of
the world in immediate prospect Of fulfill1nent
