Dutch Skates In New ENGLAND.

When the Plymouth Pilgrims Jour
neyed to the new world and settled In
New England, they brought with them
many Of the customs which they had
acquired when living In Holland. Thus
the children Of the Massachusetts and
Connecticut settlers were almost as
fond Of skating as were the Dutch
children who lived In New Neither

TOMATO WORMS
AT WORK NOW
They Are Big and Green and vora-
cious, and Farm Bureau Elk
pert Tells How to Kill
Them Easily.

Tomato worms have attracted the
attention Of w. a Hook, farm bureau
agent for Clark county, and he writes:
From the time tomato growers begin
10 set fruit up until they are through
bearing they are often bothered with
worms eating the foliage and boring
into the fruit The large green horn
worm with white stripes on its sides
usually does not get very numerous.
Due TO their size however, few may
eat considerable foliage These worms
can either be picked off by hand or
poisoned by spraying the vines with
arsenate of lead.
The fruit Is often injured by the
tomato fruit worm-which Is the same
as the corn or ear worm-and by cut
worms boring 1t. These worms may
be controlled by spraying the foliage
with a poison or probably better still
by poisoning them with poison bait.
This bait may be made by mixing one
fourth pound of white arsenic with one
peck of dry bran. Stir one pint of
cheap syrup or molasses and the Juice
and grated rind of one orange or
lemon into four to six quarts of
water Wet the poisoned bran with
this mixture and scatter thinly
throughout the tomato patch.
1t is best to SOW this poison bait in
late afternoon or evening. The worms
eat more readily at this time and they
prefer the bran to the tomatoes as a
change of food. If sowed thinly there
is no danger to chickens or other ami
mails. In case injury is continued re.
neat the application after four or five
days.

HOT AND DRY
CONTINUES
Corn Has Made Wonderful Progress
In State During Past Few Days
Of RcaI Warm
Weather.

The Iowa weather crop bulletin for
the week ending July j has Just been
issued az follows:
Hot, dry weather continued in most
sections until Thursday afternoon
when It became much cooler. few
localities in the north and west por-
ton were visited by excessive showers
and destructive wind squalls on the
18th and 26th and tornado in Chico
asaw county on the 2Sd caused general
damage amounting TO about 100000,
but not much damage to crops. Sun
shine averaged 80 per cent which is
about per cent above normal.
Conditions were favorable for corn
which made wonderful progress and
much will be "laid by" by the 9Th.
Fields are generally clean. The tallest
is waist high. The hot period OF 10
days, June 9th to 26th, with high
humidity during the first half Of the
period, has been very unfayorable for
small grains. Scab, smut. leaf rust,
blight and in few localities. black
stem rust, flourished. The yield and
quality of the small grains have thus
been greatly reduced. Harvest OF win
ter wheat and rye has begun as far
north as the central counties and ID
nearly completed in few counties OF
the southern tier.
Damage to alfalfa, grass and small
grain by army worms and yariegated
cutworms has been great in limited
areas, but they have about run their
course and are entering the ground.
An unusually heavy crop of timothy
and clover hay is being harvested.
Pastures are in excellent condition.
Early potatoes are a good crop and
are being used, but later potatoes are
showing the effects OF the dry, hot
weather and are badly needing rain in
the southwest counties.

BOLSHEVISM TO

Sweeping Omnibus Bill in Congress
Which Is Expected to Drive
Reds Out of
Country.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
WASHINGTON, July "a sweeping
omnibus bill, aimed to eliminate all
radical agitation in America, is now
being prepared, Senator Nelson, Min
nesota, chairman of the judiciary
committee, said today.
Bolshevism in the United States
will be destroyed by the comprehen-
sive measure, members of the com
mtttee believe. 1t will be a virtual
legal code against the reds and will
combine features of a dozen or more
bills now pending in the senate which
have many conflicting features.
The committee in drafting the act is
utilizing information obtained in the
exhaustive hearings last spring when
every phase Of radical agitation was
probed.
1--WE expect to have the bill in shape
shortly" Senator Nelson said today.
1T will cover all the important fea-
lures of measures relating to bolshe
vism introduced by various senators"

voters Of Memphis for the coming No
vember election. may be announced by
Wednesday or Thursday night Of this
week.
At least three OF the men whose
names Will be presented TO the general
committee have been decided upon.
Members OF the subcommittee have had
some difficulty in agreeing upon GSe
man whose name will be suggested as
the representative Of the labor element,
and there is also some discussion as
yet as to whether or not some young
man who has served in the army Is to
be placed on the ticket.
The law requires that 4 candidate for
city office must be the owner of real
estate. and several men whose names
have been considered, although they
have been soldiers, W no real property
and are therefore not qualified legally
should they be elected.
Members of the subcommittee etill
decline TO make public the names o. any
of the men undeP consideration, but IL
is known hat az least three have
nations tehdered them, and that al
fourth will accept II his name Is pre-.
scented 20 the general committee.
The representatives OF organised Ia
Dor have asked TO have two members
os organised labor placed on the ticket,
and that request has caused come delay,
II Ia understood that a majority Of the
members OF the subcommittee are
agreed that not more than one man
representing the labor element can be
placed ON the ticket.
No member Of the subcommittee in
direct charge Of suggesting the names
OF possible nominees q the general com
mittee, has permitted any mention OF
the men under consideration being
made. II was understood last week,
however, that J. Rowlett Paine had been
decided upon as the candidate for may
or, and that other names likely TO be
submitted included those Of &. X. Shan
non, y, @. Proutt and John b. Edgar.
Members OF the committee are also
interesting themselves in an effort to
get in touch with all men and women
whom they know to urge them to regis
ter during the ten days general regis
tration which began Monday.
Three sessions of the subcommittee
on nominations were 10 be held Mon
day, two during the afternoon and one
at night, after which II was limited that
a call for the meeting Of t@e general
committee to hear the report on nomi-
nations might be forthcoming.
