LITTLE PESTS
OF FIELD AND GARDEN ARE BE.
GINNING THEIR SPRING
ACTIVITIES.

AT this season of the year worms
commonly known as cut-worms are
doing more or less damage to corn
fields and garden crops.
These worms have been hibernat-
ing in the ground all winter and they
will be quite numerous and active
until they become full grown, which
is about the middle or latter part of
May, when they enter the soil, pupate
and transform to a moth.
Flowing and disking in late fall,
will. under ordinary conditions ma
terially help in the control of this
pest. In areas where the worms are
concentrated. and in gardens. an APP
plication of paris green bran mash
will prove very effective. The for
mula is as follows: Paris green. l
pound; syrup, l quart; bran. SO
pounds; water, 2k gallons. Mix the
paris green and bran until an even
color Is attained. Then stir in the
syrup and water, making a crumbly
mixture. Scatter this thinly over the
infested area late in the afternoon.
The amount above is sufficient to
cover about three acres.

AFTER war WIDOWS
ADVENTURE SPIRIT AMONG FOR,
EIGNERS DEPLETES MINING
FORCE.

Lead, June THE residents OF
the Black Hills have been largely de-
pendent upon the Ignite coal mines
of Wyoming for their winter fuel
supplies. and have become somewhat
alarmed by reports which have been
received from the mines regarding
the exodus OF miners, most of whom
are foreigners. the fear being that as
a result the output of the mines will
be greatly reduced.
The foreigners are quitting their
jobs for the purpose OF returning to
Europe. Some are returning to look
up relatives whom they have not
heard from since the war started.
some are going over to attend the
settlement of estates in which they
are interested and which are coming
to them through the deaths OF rela-
tives killed in the war; others openly
assert that they are going to their
native lands for the purpose of mar
rying the widows OF men killed In
the war who left estates of value.

ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE
DECIDES ON SEVERAL ISSUES.

Pierre, June 1.-THE state legal
department on inquiries from differ
ent county and state officials holds
as follows:
That while rural credit mortgages
are not on the regular form blanks
they do not come within the double
recording fee provisions of the law,
but are to be recorded under one fee
as are the regular form mortgages.
That an independent school dis
trict cannot purchase land for agri-
culture demonstration work without
the approval of the people by a vote,
IL the amount Of money to be ex-
pended exceeds 5000.
That where school bonds are voted
on an election notice that the inter
est on the bonds is to be paid an
nually, 1t will not prohibit the pro-
curing OF a loan from the state school
fund, on which semi-annual interest
payments must be made.
That the provision of the state
free text book law of the last legis-
lative session does not prohibit an in
dependent school district in which a
city is located, from making its own
selection OF books.

had $1,000 In the bank on May /, and
who paid this out for an automobile

Reception Attended
BY Many Soldiers

Ashland residents are beginning
to realize in a measure the import
ant part this city played in the great
war, particularly in the number of
men who went out from this imme-
diate section. The gathering togeth-
er of the men who saw service either
abroad or in the military camps in
this country last Monday night gave
some idea of the offering Ashland
made of her strongest and best to
her country's call. This reception
while planned ostensibly to welcome
home the members of the 65th regi-
ment from their overseas campaign,
was also in honor of those others
who had preceded these war veter-
ans. The greater part of these boys
had come in one at time from the
various cantonments and naval yards
and a public demonstration could not
be given them before. Between
forty and fifty returned soldiers anil
sailors were present at this recep-
tion, and honors were evenly be-
slowed upon them as we'll as those
who had lately returned from the
battle fields of France.
