This is an uncertain day, according
to astrology, and the stars are not re-
assuring to those who would take risks
of any sort. The sun and Mercury
are In malefic aspect. Saturn is friend
ly,
1t is prognosticated that much criti-
cism viii be poured out through the
press. persons in places Of the sun being
dealt with severely.
This is held to be but a passing phase
Of public thought in which Saturn will
enable men who represent reactionary
ideas to gain power.
Conflict is foreshadowed by the
| planets. but it will be "A conflict Of
Ideas rather than Of physical forces.
In this period of conflict progress
| alysis whit is good will be recognized.
Old leaders will gain emiuence for
n brief time, but they viii be promi-
nent as cpunselors n not as princi-
pals In action.
There is an encouraging sign for
farmers and all who seek their sus-
tensnce from the earth, Mines should
benefit.
Again some sort of complication in
Ntlving public revenues Is foreshad-
owed. Frauds seem to be Indicated:

HE ISN'T even true,
TO THE new one.
AND ONLY this morning.
HE WAS out there.
ON THE branch of a tree.

WHERE HIS wife couldn't see him,
AND EVERY little while.
HE'D SEE a lady wren.
AND HE'D chirp.
AND FIX his feathers,
AND SWELL up.
AND ONE time,
l THINK his wife heard him.
AND KNEW his voice.
BECAUSE SHE came out.
TO THE roof of her house
AND LOOKED around.
AND HE flew away.
AND IN a minute or two.
HE WAS back again.
AND CAME to the house.
AND HE had a bug.
AND HE gave 1t to his wife.
AND SHE took the bug.
AND DIDN'T say anything.
BUT I think she's wise.
AND THE way things are.
THERE'E NOTHING she can DO.
BECAUSE SHE has the eggs.

CANNOT ENFORCE LAW
Texarkana Attorneys Say $5 Street
 Tax Was Passed Unlawfully.

Texarkana, Aug. 31.-LOcal attor- neys have announced that the ordin- ance passed few nights ago by the Texas side City Council requiring all male residents between the ages of 21 and 45 years to pay $5 street tax annually or work five days on the public street. cannot be enforced for the reason that it was not passed in the manner provided by law for the passage of such ordinances.
 The opii .on thus given appears to be shared by the city authorities and it is now considered very unlikely that anything farther will be done in the matter. A great deal of unfavorable criticism has been heard against the ordinance since it was adopted.

ARMY WORMS MAY BE
 EXPECTED IN THIS STATE
Agricultural Experts Fear That Army Worms Will Probably Do Some
 Damage to Cotton.
Special to the News.

Special to the News.
 Fayetteville, Sept 1.-Arkansas may expect another outbreak of the Fall Army Worms this year more severe than last year, according to w. J. Baerg, Entomologist of the Expert ment Station, University of Arkansas, who says: Fall Army Worms is green in color, and when full grown about an inch and a quarter in length It Is recognized by two yellow lines along the back and a yellow inverted on the front of the head. The favorlte food of the fall army worm is grass; crab grass. blue grass and Johnson grass are perferred When the supply of grasses begins to run low, the pest migrates in army fashion to cotton, corn and alfalfa fields.
 The fall army worms survive the winter north of central Texas, but the adult of the worm, a gray1sh moth flles northward over long distances with favorable winds In this way severe outbreaks develope in short time, where previously but few or none of these insects could have been found.
 Watchfulness is necessary to con- trol the worm. Meadows in which 1t suddenly appears in considerable rable should be sprayed or dusted with ar senate of lead. In spraying, pounds of paste and T. pounds of the powder ed form are used to 50 gallons Of water. To protect cotton or corn fields from an invasion, one or more furroWs should be made around the field with the steep side towards the crop to be protected. poisoned bait made from 20 pounds of bran, 1 pound of white arsenic or paris green, should be scat tered in and near the furroW. The crawling caterpillars cOongregate in large numbers in the furrows and may be killed here by dragging log along the furrows at frequent intervals. A generation of caterpillars becomes full grown in three weeks. Then they en- ter the ground and change to the pupal stage. From this they issue in week or ten days. Flowing while they are in the ground will kill many of the worms. It is important to kill the worms before they enter field of cot ton or corn or it is likely they Will destroy a large part of the crop.
