THRILLS AND CHILLs

The biggest thrill that can come to any American News that he has been nominated for president.
 The biggest chill: The flash on election night that he has been de- feated.
 Only five men now living have experienced that thrill, and four of them have shivered with subse- quent chill.
 Bryan had three thrills and three chills. Taft had two thrills and a chill. Parker and Hughes thrill and chill each, while Woodrow Wilson has felt two thrills and no chills.
 People often talk about and try to answer the question, What was the biggest thrill l ever had?", but these five men can give an answer right off the bat.

DAMAGE BEING
 DONE BY GARDEN WORM

A pest that is doing serious dam age to the cotton corn and alfalfa crops over the state has been found to be the garden worm, by W. J. Baerg, kntomologist at the College of Agriculture, Fayetteville. MT. Baerg identified the worp1 at Fore man, where he had been called to investigate the cause ot the dam- age to cotton and corn an dto sug- gest some means of control
 The garden worm is gren in color and about half an inch long. 1t can be identified by three black cots which appear in each segment on both sides of the back The potion of tee plant .or which the WD' ms fe eG Is usually inclosed m a web. The worms mature in about 20 days and seek shelter in rubbish and leaves or go into the ground where they transform to the pupal or resting stage. The moths hatch out in from ten to twelve days and arc yellowish brown in color with wing expanse of three-fourths of an inch. In infested fields of al- falfa, moths of the second genera ten can now be found in consider able numbers. The eggs are laid on weeds, the alfalfa and perhaps on the corn and cotton.
 The control of the worm in cotton is more serious problem. How ever, in spite of the fact that many of the worms are feeding on the under side of the leaves and the leaves are curled up, it is believed that dusting the plants with calcium arsenate will do much towards check ing severe injury. A hand duster, such as is used for cotton boil wee vii vii do quite well. Paris green is not safe to use unless it it is d. luted with some water or flour. Even then it may burn the plants.

KEPT ON DIGGING

At one time while building the Panama Canal there were 5000 men engaged in the Culebra cut alone. Every night as much soil slid into the cut as could be taken out during the day. But there was not sign of discouragement--the men enjoyed the fight. Colonel Goethals walked through the cut one morning just after an exten- sive slide. The foreman had been on the job since midnight.
 "Well, how is everything this morning, Mir. Hogan?" asked Mr. Goethals.
 Fine, Colonel, fine. It buried

Messrs Austin and
Mccoy Have Bad
Auto Smashup

&. II. Austin and W. j. Mccoy had
a narrow escape with their lives when
out riding in their car last Monday
They were on their way some where
to the country northeast of Julesbura
where the roads are none too rood
About four miles out Of town they
came to stretch of newly worked
road. which made matters worse. Ir
one Of the draws the road was graded
up to a height on ten or twelve feet
and they passed over this safely
enough, but just before he got to the
top of the hill on the other side Mr.
Austin killed his engine and the car
started to back down the hill The
brakes refused to work. The car was
guided as best Mr. Austin knew how
but it soon got to zig-zagging and
presently went off the embankment
The car turned clear over and landed
on its top. Both Mr. Austin and Mr..
Mccoy were pinned under the machine
but the latter managed to crawl out
and succeeded in releasing Mr. Aus
tin also. How they escaped being
killed is mystery The car was bad
~ wrecked and many of the parts
smashed The two were able to walk
about two miles to the home Of Carl
Pidgeon who hauled them back Tn
town. It was narrow call and both
men were thankful thev were able
70 say they were alive the next morn
ing.

WOman's Club
Home Talent Play
Was Big Success

Inc home talent play which was
given by members of the Woman's
Club in the Hipp Theatre, Monday
evening, was star performance in
every particular. Often we have seen
plays by professionals that did not
equal 1t. Never have we seen home
talent plays given better. To single
out players who deserve special men
ton would be impossible, except tha.
you should have TO mention every one
appearing IN the play. Not one
|. siiEhted mis- part. Not one but that
got into the spirit of the play. II
would be hard to say how a single
individual could have done better. The
performance held the closest alten-
tlon of the audience from start to
finish and the players are to be and
have been complimented from every
direction. Those having the play in
charge and who looked after the di-
recting of the rehearsals and insisted
on faithful practice now see their re-
ward. 1t was d pleasure to attend
this play and it is a safe bet to say
chat If another one should be given
at any time in the future, the attend
ance will be larger than before.
The total receipts were well over
5000 but considering the fact that the
proceeds are to be used for the pur-
pose of securing free library for
Julesburg, some thought they should
have climbed to the $500 mark. There
were some expenses connectd with the
play but the club will have nice
surplus left after the bills are paid.
and they appreciate the support that
was given them.

County Supe-intend-

To Be Increased

The salary allowed by law to thu

County u $500 per month. This
Is such small sum in these days OF
high prices and high wages that the
office does not appeal to anyone. I'm
less remedy is found, the chances
for the office in the coming election.
This is serious situation. The
office is the very hub Of our schsol
system and it has an important work
to perform in helping to keep up the
efficiency of our schools. The county
supervisors would increase the pay
if they could, but the law will not
permit. 1t will require IN act of the
Legislature to change it. Sedgwick
county is not the only county thus
affected, but this fact makes the sit
uation none the less critical. Who
can solve this problem?
To show how serious the matter is,
consider the following, as it confronts
our own county. Miss Emma Carlson,
the present occupant of the office,
says she will not accept the office
again. unless the pay is changed. No
one can blame her. Schools are pay
ing from 500 per month up for teach
ers. Why should she sacrifice. if she
can abtain 500 or $l25 per month in
the school room? Miss Carlson has
made an excellent superintendent. She
is faithful. she has worked hard She
has kept the work of the office right
up to par all the time. But she must
look after her own interests as well
as that of the county. Hence, the sit
uation. Let those who can, solve this
riddle. Education and our schools are
vital above all things else in the well
fare of our nation. Can some one
show us the way out?

Does Poultry
Pay? Two Turkeys
Bring $50

Does it pay the farmer to raise
poultry? Ask c. F. Skiles and see
what he says. Mr.. Skiles brought
two turkeys to Julesburg, Monday and
sold them for $50. One of the birds
weighed 13 pounds and the other Ia
pounds. the price being 80 cents per
pound, and they were sold at one of
our regular markets. at live weight
figures. The amount received by Mr..
Skiles is at the rate Of $4860 per
dozen. The producer is surely in the
swim these days. if he will only take
advantage of the situation and produce
and poultry will yield as good re-
turns as anything, everything being
considered.

Sunday and came off second best
Holyoke winning by score of 6 to S
1t was game filled with errors
which accounts in q large measure
for the winning of Holyoke. The

to get the practice they require and
hence the ragged playing. HoIyoke
had our boys beaten to in the
seventh but in the eighth the team
took brace and it looked for few
minutes that we would pass them
but we only were able to gobble in
4 more runs? Fussell pitched three
innings and Gee two innings. The
following is the score by innings and

Flag Is Unfurled-

see the flag flying from the top of
the tall pole in the middle of Front

sight and all venerate our flag
wherever we see it floating to the

that the flag should come down at
sundown and not be allowed to stay up
all night. As one person remarked,
it is almost as bad to have the flag
whipped around all night and de-
stroyed that way as it is to destroy
it by trampling upon it. Think it
over,
