Gonradi, Chief Of the division of En-
fornoIogy, who advises that farmers
should not proceed in this matter
without definite advice from Glenn
son College or from the. Z. S. Govern
nlent Laboratory, Tallulah. La.
The material that is being used for
sdusting is generally known as cal
arsenate, and is the same as calcium
arsenate or arsenate Of lime The
material must be correct, the proper
busting gun must be used, the time OF
applying it is of great importance, as
well as the conditions Of the sur
rounding plantation.
The government Laboratory at Tai
luiah especially emphasizes the i'm
portanee of having sample of the
material analyzed before using it, and
this will be done at their Laboratory
AT Tallulaa. The government urges
that the Calcium Arsenate should
Conform to. the following specifica

Not sess than 40 per cent. arsenate

Bolsheyik Terrors

Onsk, Siberia April 3 Correspond
ence of The Associated Press)-A
thread of suffering runs through the
stories told by refugees from all parts
of European Russia. hundreds of
thousands of whom have found asylum
here. Almost all of them fed from
BolsEevik terrorism. They tell OF

DOGS OWNER IS
FOUND BY COURT
Man to Whom Canine Was
Sold SmartS Under An
others Words

Carlisle, Pa, Nov. Is. Asbury
Kuhn. who lives near Mount Holly
Springs, sold a dog to James P.
Martin, a barber of this place, quite
a while ago. Kuhn said the animal
belonged to him and took the bar
ber's receipt for the money. Martin
rejoiced in the ownership of the
canine until George Snyder, resi-
dent of Mount Holly Springs, came
along one day, saw the dog and said
it was his.
He continued saying so until the
statement got on the nerve of Martin
and he brought suit against Kuhn
before Justice of the Peace Eckles
here, alleging false pretense. The
hearing was held yesterday, after
Constable ]. T. Mccoy had found
Kuhn and served the magistrates
warrant on him.
There was testimony produced TO
convince the justice that the dog
did not belong to Kuhn and he was
ordered to pay Martin the price of
the animal. Then the dag was given
into the custody of Game Protector
Warren Zell, who. upon digging into
facts on the order of the justice,
found that Snyder didn't own the
dog, but that Abe Stoner, while he
hadn't paid license, was the real
owner. Stoner will get the dog when
he pays the fee required by law.

His Office Deputy

Sunbury, Pa, Nov. 15.-With the
election over there is a hustle in
North cumberland county for posi-
tions under the new officials. 1t is
generally agreed James Phillips, of
Shamokin, will be made deputy
county treasurer by lis brother,
Sergeant Charles Phillips. of Mount
Carmel. The post is worth $500
monthly and is held by William H.
Deppen,. of Sunbury.
Frank Adams, of Sunbury, deputy
sheriff, will be reappointed as deputy
by Clarence K. Martz, of Paxinos,
at salary of $3.50 month, it 10
understood.
In the commissioners office Squire
David NJ. Hughes, of Mount Carmel,
is apparently assured the solicitor
ship, his father, David NJ. Hughes,
having been elected a commissioner.
The chief clerkship will go to Sun
bury man, yet to be selected, and,
strange to say, no one seems to want
it. Tie fact is $40 month does
not look good" to expert workmen
for so responsible a place.
William II. Calhoun, a Northum-
berland bandmaster, will be Jail
warden and his wife matron, at $50
and S25, respectively, a month, to-
gether with a residence at the Jail
and being paid for by the county.
In view of the big Republican VIC
tory, politicians agree that Albert

Lesher, of Sunbury, for Congress
man. Friends of Major General
Charles NJ. Clement are also urging
him to be q candidate.

PARENTS SETTLE
SUIT FOR $1,15O
Perry Township Supervisors
Award That Sum For the
Death of Two Girls

New Bloomfield, Pa, Nov. 10
Awarded but s55 for the death of
their two daughters. which occurred
when an oil wagon went over an
embankment during the winter of
1915, Mr.. and Mrs. Albert j. HAM
maker, of Watts township, this
county, this week settled their SUIT
against the township for 1915 for
the death of each child, together
with the costs which have mounted
to a considerable figure. A retrlal
was to have been given in Perry
county court week in compliance
with a Superior Court order.
The Lawmakers charged that the
accident resulted through the fail
ure of the township supervisors to
provide strong retaining walls and
brought suit. After three-day trial
the jury brought in verdict of 500.
Considerable comment resulted, es-
pecially after another jury had
brought in a verdict of S2.15O in
favor of a girl who had had her leg
broken when a sleigh overturned on
n rough road in another township.
Attorneys for the Lawmakers i'm
mediately filed application for re-
trial, but this was refused. An ap-
peal was then taken to the Superior
Court, where Justice Keller, in
scathing words, ordered the lower
court to again hear the case.
