ARMY WORMS In
WADE HENDERSON
Reaching Over Into Daviess
County Too. Damp Weather
Said To Be Cause.

The army worms have made. their
appearance on the Henderson coun-
~ border line and are coming over
into Daviess county. County Agent
Whitehouse was called to the Rich
land farm and Murphy Bros. last
week where the army worms have
eaten heavily into the meadows. The
bran bait poisoning is recommended.
They are noted TO be making their
way in numbers from the meadows
now to the corn fields across the
road in that district and they are es-
pecially fond of red top and timothy.
"The excess rains are mainly bring
ing out the grass and the weeds in
the corn fields" said one farmer re-
garding what the present rains were
doing for the crops. Approximately go
per cent, of the corn bias been planted
but the rains are holding back the
farm work very much. 1t Was stated,
that some of the corn would have to
be replanted in the lowlands where
il is now standing in water. Already
June has good start as a wet month,
having had 1852 inches of rain in the
past twelve hours. 1t will be remem-
bered that a wet June last year caus-
ed a large corn acreage to go un-
planted and the same probability is
imminent this year if the weather man
keeps ON with the heavy rainfall.
There are now but ten or fifteen days
in which to safely plant corn. Be-
tween rains there is quite bit of
tobacco being set out.

FALSE GODS.

When man whose life business
has been to deal with students says
that "pleasure-hysteria, self-indul-
gence and degenerating ideals are pos
sessing the youth of the country" and
blames the parents, the indictment
cannot be dismissed as the raving of
crank
The man who says this is Frederick
Scheetz Jones, dean of Yale College.
1t should, be remembered that the
youths whose troubles pass in review
before him are college boys, coming
from homes where standards are sup
posed to be the highest
Dean Jones assumes that, sitting in
his Office. he sees fathers and mothers
at their best One of his principal COM
plants is that, though parents are IN
most cases keenly Interested and
ready to undergo real hardships for
their children, they are too often con-
cerned only with financial and social

Thousands of fathers face crises in
the lives of their sons and find them
SELVES powerless to influence them,
though these devoted parents would
willingly give a right arm, if neces-
They lack influence because they did
not give of their love sympathy
and companionship when their child
rem were little and conhding.
Many men feel that they express
their devotion to their families when
they toll all day to supply comforts
and Injuries for those they love, but
that they have no time to give their
children. The American man is one
of the most unselhsh of human beings,
and the American woman appreci-
ates this fact He gives freely to his
wife and children of all that he has
except himself and his time, and these
are the two gifts which his family
most needs.
If tired or busy fathers would give
but a few minutes each day to their
children, would enter into real fellow
ship with them, bond of sympathy
would be established Fathers would
find real rest and relaxation in the
companionship of their happy, affec-
tomato little ones and misunderstood

While many pay tribute to Theo-
dore Roosevelt as great American,
il is also to Theodore Roosevelt the
father that the heart of America now
turns.
which he spent with his family in the
White House cannot fail to impress
us with the sacredness OF the home
life, the joy of the family bond nor
can anyone measure the effect of such
an example upon the rank and file OF
Americans.
Col Roosevelt understood as few
men do the privileges and response
bilities of fatherhood. After reading
that delightful new publication, Theo-
dore Roosevelt's Letters to his Child
rem one is reminded of those beauti-
full words of Jean Paul Richter, On
ly decision with womanly gentleness
does the child rest and sail at the con-
hux of two streams" One marvels
that this busy man found time to take
such a part in the life of his children
No matter how full was his day of
engagements with the highest degni-
taries of state, Col Roosevelt always
found time to be the companion of
his children, TO read or play with
them to poin in their outdoor sports
or when he was separated from them
to write very frequently. His under
standing of child life was remarkable
and his sympathy unfailing.
Col Roosevelt made practical that
famous admonition of Froebel, Come
let us live with our children" Often
81 he 81 he
House were alive with pillow-hghts
and with those bedtime romps which
must have left a lasting impression
upon the happy group of young child
rem, But the characteristic which was
most touching in his family relation
ship was his ability TO continually
remind his children that the spiritual
values in life are those which are real
ly worthwhile.
We all know that the greatest safe
guard for a republic is the founding
of happy homes. There is no greater
danger threatening the American
home today than the absence of the
father as an active and determining
force in shaping the character and
remark complacently, IL leave the
training Of my children entirely to
my wife She does it all" We hear
much in verse and story of the in
fuence of good mothers and this is
well, but we need to hear just as much

WhQtZsNuxQtedM Iron?
Physician Explains Public Ought To Know What They Are Taking-Practical Advice What To Do To Build Up Your Strength, Power and Endurance
 and Increase the Red Blood Corpuses

The fact that NuXated Iron is today pie annually and that so many physi- clans are prescribing it as a tonic strength and blood builder in weak, nervous, rundown conditions, has led to an investigation of its merits by designated physicians and others whose reports should be of great inn portance to the public generally. Among these is the statement made by Dr. James Francis Sullivan, for merly physician of Bellevue Hospital, (Outdoor Dept). New York, and Westchester County Hospital, who says: When one patient after
 another begins asking my opinion
 of Nuxated Iron, l resolved to go thoroughly into the subject and find out for myself whether or not it
 possessed the real value claimed by it's manufacturers and attested to by \ so many prominent people. This is exactly what I believe every honest, conscientious physician should do be- fore prescribing or lending his en- dorsement to any product whatsoever. If an article is worthless We prac- titioners ought to be the first to know Of it and if it is efficacious we are in duty bound to recommend it for the welfare of cur patients A study of the composition of the NuX- ated Iron formula so impressed me with the therapeutic efficacy of the product that I immediatel tested it in number of obstinate cases. So quickly did it increase the strength energy and endurance of the patients to when it was administered that I became firmly convinced of it's re- markable value as a tonic and blood
