l7-YEAR LOCUST AND ARMY
WORMS BEGIN INVADING FARMS
Worms Moving in Texas in Great
Hordes. Locusts in Nearly Every
State East of the Mississippi.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Reports
to the department of agriculture to-
day show that the seventeen-year To-
Gust has put in his appearance in
nearly every state east of the Missis-
sippi river.
Despite the fact that this threat
ems to be perhaps the biggest locust
year since 1868 department ento-
mologists are not alarmed, but they
are worried about the army worm.
The locust, they say, does not
threaten the wheat crop or any other
growing thing except young fruit
trees and these can be saved from
his ravages by proper precautionary
measures.
The army worm, however, which
has appeared in Texas and began
his march north, is a real danger
to the country's bumper wheat crop,
they say.
This worm moves in vast hordes,
destroying grain fields, and the de-
partment has warned farmers to be
on the watch for them.
They can be killed by burning
grass over the spots where they APP
pear or by spraying with a mixture
of paris green.

ZION CITY DEFIES
LEGISLATIVE PROBERS
CITY OF LORDS Amounted"
ABOVE SUCH PROCEDURE. VO-
LIVA AND STATE AT ODDS.

"They dare not lay hands on the
sacred persons of the Lords annoint-
ed" is the def of Wilbur Glenn Volt
va.
Voliva, successor of John Alexan-
der Dowie, IS overseer of Zion City,
and has been called before an Hi
nois legislative committee for an in
vestigation of his business and relig-
ious methods. Voliva defantly as
serted he would observe no subpoena,
and as one versed in the Biblical lore
has told the legislators tersely and
defiantly where they may go.
Controls Five Thousand Votes.
The overseer is credited with con-
trolling the votes of lions 5000 res
idents. Because he swung his votes
from Representative E. D. Shurtleff
to another candidate Voliva charges
Shurtleff engineered the investiga-
ton.
Under Voliva Zion City prohibits
the use of tobacco, pork and oysters.
The articles are "unclean." There are
no movies. Dances are forbidden ;
drugs cannot be sold. Milady, yield
ing to desire for ornamentation by
means of splendid colors, decollete
gowns, peekaboo waists or silk hose
invites arrest.
Voliva Owns Town.
Voliva own the land upon which
Zion is built. He purchased it from
the government when the city went
into bankruptcy. Tithes from the
faithful have helped reduce the orig
inal Indebtedness of S95O,OO0. The
overseer sells property to his follow
ers, but gives them "leases" for /, 100
years instead of the customary deed.
The city has no gas, sewers or paved
streets.
Launched by elijah"
Zion City was launched in 1900 by
Dowie, self-styled elijah the Restor-
err" who had opened a church in Chi
cago. There he got backing and, dis
guised as tramp bargained with
farmers for the land upon which the
city was built. His followers came
from all corners of the earth. Facto-
ries came and the place prospered In
1905 Dowie called Voliva from Aus
tralia to assist him and went to Cuba
for his health. When he returned he
found Voliva in full power Dowie
died in 1906.

AIR OF INDIFFERENCE.
The new republican congress re-
ceived its first message from the
president in a spirit of apparent dis
interestedness. The senate paid little
attention while it was being read
from the vice presidents desk, and
when the reading clerk had conclud-
ed the routine business of the senate
was resumed as though the reading
of an ordinary bill had been finished.
There was not 2 single handicap
of applause in the senate. In the
house the message was received per-
functorily until that portion of it in
which the president recommended the
repeal of the wartime prohibition
act was reached. Then the members
| cheered, hooted and yelled, but gave
little applause when the last word
was reached, and they at once took
up the routine business.
| The vets started the applause and
the cheering, while the drys carried
on the hooCng and "booing."
And They All Smiled.
Few of the senators would com
ment on the message. The democrats
who did discuss it commended il
highly, while the republican senators
who said anything for publication re-
garding it showed they were chiefly
interested IN the presidents recon-
mendatiOn regarding the railroads,
wires and the tariff.
Members On both sides smiled at
the presidents mention of the return,
of the telegraph and telephone prop
critics to private control.
The complaints of the maladminis-
tration of the wire systems which
have reached even the president at
the seclusion of the peace table
some of them cabled kicks against
Postmaster General Burleson's ac-
tions-are believed to have been re-
sponsible for the recommendation
that the wires be turned back just
as soon as they can to private opera
ton.
Five-Year Program Abandoned.
AS to the railroads the president
announced that the roads would
construed as more or less of a threat.
In the message the president an
nounced fatty that the roads would
be turned back at the end of the
present calendar year. This was ia
ken to mean that they would be
turned back then regardless of their
condition unless congress acted to
turn them back sooner.
This recommendation in the pres
ident's message is an abandonment
of the McAdoo fve-year program,
which was understood to have the
backing of the president. 1t provided
for extension of the period of govern
ment control and operation for five
years.
Not Word on Treaty.
The spark of congressional hope
that the president might see fit to
take congress into the secret of what
he has been doing and is doing with
the peace treaty was extinguished
before the reading of the message
had progressed far. The president
let both branches know in unmistak-
able terms that he had no intention
of telling them anything as this time
was thought to be premature" but
he promised to appear in person la
ter and inform congress of what had
been done when it is all completed.

THE SUPREME COURT
 SUSTAINS DRY LAW
ACCUSED PARTY CHARGED WITH CARRYING LIQUOR IN SUIT
 CASE WHEN CAUGHT

The Arkansas Supreme Court last Monday sustained the "transporta- tion" clause in the state bone-dry law as amended by the recent regular session of the legislature.
 Albert Whitely was convicted in the White Circuit Court of trans porting liquor in the state. He ap- pealed and attacked the validity of the law on that point, which reads as follows:
 That it shall be unlawful to con- vey or transport over or along any public street or highway any of said liquors, bitters or drinks for another"
 The word another" formed a leak in the law, and in 1919 it was amend ed to make it unlawful to transport It under any circumstances except for sacramental, medicinal, industrial or scientific purposes. Whiteley's case was the first of it's kind to come be- fore the supreme court, and the issue at stake formed the one remaining hope of an oasis.
 The case attracted widespread at- tention at the time. Whitely, accord. ing to testimony in the case, was a passenger on freight train running between Newport and North Little Rock The sheriff of White County boarded the train at Bebee and found the liquor in question locked up in two suitcases in the caboose of the train. Whiteley, it was alleged, left the train when the sheriff boarded it and was captured by deputies after a chase through the woods. When ar rested the deputies say that Whiteley dropped a key from his pocket. It was afterward learned that the key fitted one of the suitcases in the ca boose and Whiteley's conviction fol- lowed.

DON'T BURN LEAVES

Here is our annual reminder not to burn the leavesf When they are rak- ed up, haul them to the barn for bedding or use them in the poultry house for scratch litter, or mulch the strawberries with them, or use them about the shrubbery and the bulbs In the yard, or spread them over the garden. Do any way, in short, to get them back into the ground. The soil needs the plant food and the or ganic matter they contain. You waste all of the latter and most of the former when you burn them- Southern Agriculturist.

 These men propose to do all drilling and pay other expenses pertaining to this enterprise themselves, relieveing you of any responsibility or costs whatever.
 It has long been thought that oil and gas existed near Newark but no one with sufficient means has serious ly considered the matter and made the test. Now the opportunity has come our way, the men are here with the ability and money and wanting te decide for all time to come whether or not oil and gas are to be found in this locality. Do you want to know this much discussed question? If you do just give them lease on your land and let them do the rest.

HOME TEAM WINS
 FROM BALD KNOB
BOYS BASKET BALL TEAM WINS SECOND GAME PLAYED
 THIS YEAR

The Newark High School Basket Ball team went down to Bald Knob last Saturday where they played the boys of that place a real game that afternoon
 The home team was in first class shape, having gone through hard practice work in anticipation of play ing the Cushman team on the local field, but late Friday word was re- ceived from the Cushman team that they could not come so game was matched with Bald Knob.
 On account of rain early Saturday morning, the court at Bald Knob was in wet and slippery condition, and after being marked off with lime, which the wet ground caused to slack, the court would have made an excell- ent skating rink. The game was call ed at 2:45 p. m. and immediately af- ter the whistle sounded the court was a whirling mass of brown suits, bare legs and skull caps, and several good plays were lost by each team on ac- count of some fellow starting across streak of lime.
 The Bald Kncb boys started in the lead by field goal at the very first of the game, which was closely fol- lowed by one for our team, and dur ing the first half the game was hard fought and closely played by each team, and when the whistle sounded for first half up, the Newark boys were ili the lead by margin of only two scores.
 The second half, however, was easi- CT for the home team and they play ed better ball than in the first, and boosted the score considerable on Bald Knobs errors.
 The main features of the game were Bevens' long throws and Flu qua's ability to put the ball through the goal. As a star player, Red Rod man, the youngest man on the team, is fast coming to the front. The score in the second half was 10 for Newark and four for Bald Knob, mak- ing total for the game of 20 for Newark and 12 for Bald Knob.
 That the Newark boys and people who accompanied the home team to Bald Knob were royalty treated would be putting it very mildly, and we don't hesitate to say that any people anywhere were never treated any nicer than our people during the stay in that charming little city, being shown every favor and consideration pos sible.
 Professor Campbell of the Bald Knob High School is an ardent boost CT for athletics in his school and has as fine, good-na tured and manly a bunch of players as the home team ever met.

E. A. HULSEY DIES IN
 LITTLE ROCK HOSPITAL
WAS SHOT BY PROWLERS AT ROCKING HOME IN NEW
 PORT LAST WEEK

E. A. Hulsey a former citizen of Newark died at St. Vincent's Hospit- al in Little Rock Monday night as a result of gunshot wounds received at the home of R. B. Hooking in New port on Wednesday night of last week.
 The remains were shipped to New ark for burial at Blue Springs We'd nesday afternoon, Rev. C. C. Fuqua conducting the funeral services.
 Hulsey is survived by his wife and four children and one sister, Mrs. c. E. Caldwell of Jacksonport, and his father, P H. Hulsey.
 Hulsey was shot in rather mys- terious manner and the identity of the party who did the shooting will probably never be known.
 He lived next door to the home of Mir. and Mrs. R. B. Hooking on Third and Main street in Newport. The Hockings are reputed to be very wealthy, and for several weeks uni known persons, believed to be intent on crime, hae been seen lurking about the premises of the Hooking residence, and MT. and Mrs. Hooking have had the house watched, MT. Hull sey havnig been on the lookout for the intruders. No one had been able to secure the identity of these per sons and no arrests were made. Wednesday night Mir. Hulsey saw man at the rear of the Hooking home and fired shot from his win dow at the figure, shooting through the screen. MT. Hulsey remarked to Mrs. Hulsey, it is said, that he "got l him that time" He said that the man dropped as if shot. Mir Hulsey ran into the yard and fired again,
  Hulsey was fired upon.
 Upon hearing the shots in the yard, H. A. McCallister, son-in-law of MT and Mrs. Hooking, fired a shot in the dark at a figure in the backyard, but it is not thought that the shot from Mr. McCallister's pistol, which was an army special weapon, struck MT. Hulsey, as the bullets removed from Hulsey's body were of smaller calibre and made of lead, while Mir. MeCalister's gun was loaded with steel bullets. The garage near the alley at the rear of the residence, showed evidences of having been struck with a charge from a shot gun.
 No tangible clue as to the identity of the parties who have been lurking about the house, nor the men who did the shooting has been found, but officers are working on the case, and MT. and Mrs. Hooking say they will make every possible effort to appre- bend the parties.
 MT Hulsey was taken to St. Vim cents Hospital at Little Rock where an operation was performed for the removal of the bullet. He stood the operation nicely and it was at first thought that he would recover, but he began sinking Monday and died Tuesday morning shortly after mid night.
