Mrs. O'gar "a typical product of the
Kentucky mountains) came to a small
Missouri town to live. One of the
many new diversions she found was
the picture show. Recently she at
tended a movie" and during the In
terval between parts, picture for the
fourth liberty loan was thrown on
the screen. 1t portrayed the kaiser In
dire distress on his knees to Uncle
Sam, while Our Uncle wrathfully
shook his fist at the despis.d creature.
After the show Mrs. O'gar was heard
to say disgustedly to her better half:

Massachusetts, Farm Agent Tells Re-
markabie and Touching Story Of
Canine Affection.

In the Telegram. Worcester. Mass.
John e. Dearth, field agent of Worces-
ter county farm bureau, tells this
story OF the intelligence, sympathy. af-
lection and clever understanding on
the part of dog, which came under
his observation In a recent visit to
Princeton:
A Princeton man who is fond Of
horses and dogs owns finely bred
hunting dog and he missed 1t for sew
eral days. He made inquiries all
around. but no one had seen anything
OF the animal, and after a week the
owner gave 1t up as lost. One Of the
farm hands was rambling through a
chopped off wood lot few days later
and came upon the dog caught in a
steel strap set for skunk Both fore
paws were held in the jaws of the
trap and the dog could not escape.
But In spite of its terrible predica-
ment 1t was not emaciated, and al
though In pain had not gnawed its
forelegs as many animals will do when
they are In the torture of steel trap.
Strangest of all, scattered all around
were bones and scraps of meat. Sew
eral hen bones and beef bones, with
shreds of meat still clInglng, were un-
der the captive's nose, and 1t was
chewing bone when the farmer dis
covered its plight.
The trapped dog was carried home
In the arms of the man who found it.
and then. little later, the owner went
to the trap to see who or what brought
those bones and scraps of dog
food to the suffering captive. While
he stood silently regarding tire little
heap of bones and scraps, another dog
from his own kennels came through
the brush with its jaws filled with
chicken bones, meat trimmings and
other gleanings from the kitchen gar
bage pail. The dog dropped its load
close to the trap and shifted around as
II 1t were worried.
Calling the dog after him, the own
er went back to where the injured
dog was licking its wounds. When
the other dog saw the rescued animal
1t barked. capered around, wagged Its
tail almost of, and then lent Its own
moist tongue to the healing process
on Its friends sorely bruised paws.

Arm--AssaiIan Arrested.

Of the American peace delegation and
Arthur J. Balfour. British secretary
for foreign affairs. Though bleeding
profusely, M Clemenceau was able to
return to his home, where he reas-

by the surgeons that extraction of the
bullet may not be necessary and ar
rangements have been made to take
photographs of the injured parts.

premier remaining with him for half
an hour. This was about o'clock in
the afternoon, and M. Pichon reported
the premier as doing WELL" He add

ceau said: He, missed me-" not think
ing that other shots would follow.

Poison Will Halt
Advancing Army Worms

Washington, June 23-The out
break of Army worms when started
i'm Texas during late May has spread
northeastward, and is now general
i'm the Central Mississippi basin,
saws a statement issued to-day by
the United States Department of
Agriculture. Reports show the in
festation to be rather severe IN
parts Of the States of Oklahoma,
Missouri. Iowa. Illinois and Indi-
ana. 1t is quite possible that the
Northern States east of the Appa-
lacian Mountains may he invaded
within the next three or four weeks.
The simplest and most effective
remedy for army worms, say the
Federal entomologists, is the poison
bran bait made according to the
standard formula as given for
grasshoppers and cutworm control.
1t is as follows; Wheat bran. twen-
ty-five pounds Paris green or white
arsenic, one pound; lemons or
oranges, six finely chopped fruits;
low grade molasses, such as refuse
from sugar factories, or cattle mo-
lasses, known as black strap. two
quarts: water as needed, usually two
or three gallons.
The bran and Paris green or
arsenic are thoroughly mixed while
dry. The fruits are then finely
chopped and added. and lastly the
diluted molasses is poured over the
bait and the whole mess thoroughly
kneaded and mixed. If lemons or
oranges can not be secured. crushed
ripe tomatoes, watermelons or other
fruits may be added The bait
should be strewed thinly and even
ly over the ground in the path of
fha advancing worms.
This bait may be used safely in
alfalfa and cornfields where it is de-
sired, If possible, to save the crop
for forage purposes.
