TO PRESENT CLASS
PLAY AT 0RPHEUM
Students of Senior Class to
Give "Otherwise, Peg'
two Nights.

The high school senior class play,
"Otherwise, Peg" is to be presented
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings OF
this week at the Orpheum. The play
is an unusually clever comedy, par
|ticularly adapted to a high school
class, and has been played with mark
ed success throughout the country.
While the story is mainly humorous,
Peg has some pathetic lines which
make the play appealing to both old
and young.
The story is of a young Irish girl
who comes to England to be educated
in the home Of aristocratic relatives.
Peg" endeavOrs to fulfil all require
ments and is earnest and whOlehearted
in her desire to please her aunt. Peg
herself remains natural and sweet,
but so Irish and unframed that she
is a constant annoyance to her rela-
tives. She has one friend, however,
and after saving her cousin from dis
grace and assuming the blame her
self. she finds love and happiness with
Jerry
The cast of characters appeared in
these columns last week.

ELECTRIC
AND WIND STORM
Much Damage Done in
Storm Here Saturday
Afternoon.

Considerable damage was done by the
electric storm here Saturday afternoon,
and in the vicinity Of Woodstock the
rain was followed by hail and a wind
which almost amounted to a small tor
nado.
The large smoke stack at the Mon
arch company plant was struck by
lightning twice in succession, the sec
ond crash following the first by about
three minutes. The chimney was not
entirely demolished but 1t vas neces-
sary to pull it down. and the roof of
the building was badly damaged by the
falling bricks. The smoke stack will
be rebuilt from the roof.
Following a heavy hail storm in the
vicinity of Woodstock, the wind did a
great deal Of damage. At the c. A.
Crovisier farm, near there, every build
ing on the place except the house and
one corn crib was RACED, and the Matt
Adams farm in that vicinity suffered
like damage. Large trees We're uprOot'
ed and broken off, and the hail did con-
siderable damage to the oats.

!, HOW TO HANDLE X
PARIS GREEN 4

Now we have our old friend Paris
Green, who has fought and won many Il
battle against the army of plant pests.
Mr.. Green can certainly get action it
handled in the right way and for the
right things, says the American For
|estry association.
DO not waste your time on insects
that suck the juices from plants and
foliage, such rs lice, green, black and
white aphis or fly, mealy bug, red spi-
der and scale, by thruSting their pro-
bOscis into the leaf or stem, for they
are not affected by stomach poisons.
They must be destroyed by contact
insecticides. Those in powder form
kill by closing the breathing pores in
the insects skin or in fluid form by
being absorbed through these pores,
the American Forestry Magazine points
IOut. The best contact insecticides in
powder form are hellebore, slug shot
and tobacco dust. The best in fluid
form are aphine, black leaf 20, fish
(whale) oil soap, nicotine tobacco eX-
tract, kerosene miscible Oil and lemon
Ioil.
Insects that eat plants, foliage, veg
etables, fruits, flowers, etc, whether
bugs, BEETLES, worms, caterpillars or
islugs, are more quickly and effectually
destroyed with a poisonous stomachic
|insecticide such as arsenate Of lead,
Paris green Or hellebOre. These, ii APP
Iplied according to directions, are so
diluted as to be harmless to vegetation
nd to animal life. Less poisonous
,stomachic and contact insecticides are
kerosene emulsion, slug shot, etc.
Paris green is still a satisfactory in
secticide if its foliage-burning qualities
are overcome with the addition Of Il
small amount of line. Arsenate of
lead is a more satisfactory material
which seems to meet most Of the re-
lQuirements for an %arSenical poison that
will not injure foliage, has good adj
hesive qualities and, if in the powder
Jed form, will not deteriorate by drying
ior freezing. The powdered ~arscnate
of lead is therefore recommended oven
the paste form, Whish consists Of so
per cent of water. and adds to the cost
Iof transportation.

Fewer Cats, More Birds.

She is going to be lodged from her COM
Portable place by the fire and children
will call "kittic. come kittie" in vain.
Those who lust never could stand
cats anyway" will read with approval
the following bulletin which deputy
game wardens have just received from
+. w. Pease, field secretary. Others
who like to hear EN- purr and new,
well, forewarned is forearmed.
Here's how the state fish and game
department. feel about it:
Cats if well cared for, may be pretty,
are oft Jazz" artists, but OF no value.
Competent physicians condemn them as
pets for children. Twenty-Five cents
worth of traps, properly used, will
catch more mice ana rats thar a score
of cats.
Before nature had been molested by
civilization and there we've many birds
and few cats. it was not so serious a
matter. Civilization reduced the num-
be: of birds, but increased materially
the number of cats, until there are far
too many cats and nOt enough birds.
That condition will continue to in
more largely year by year, be-
cause the common house cat is the
worst and most successful enemy of
birds in Iowa. More than M boy has
fed and cared for a bunch Of quail dur
ing the winter to see them gradually
.dwindle and finally disappear entirely.
He did not know why, but it was cats.
In bulletin mo. 9" published by the
National Association of Audubon So
there is u cut Of 5 good CATS
which should he in the hands OF every
lover and sportsman. Before they
were killed, SO this reliable bulletin
informs us, they cost another state one
thousand dollars in game birds they de-
'stroyed. Birds are beautiful, their
songs melodious and pleasing, they are
valuable and desired by all. This is
"a plea for more birds and fewer cats.

government operation, largely resulting
from the increase in wages. If that
state of affairs continues, the railroads
would be bankrupt in a year, and
transportation would cease and rail
road employees would be out of work,
unless the government again took
charge and taxed the people to pay the
wages and other expenses. Fixing the
maximum limit of income at Az per
cent instead Of 81 per cent as the law
provides is begging the question. 1t
demonstrates that the principle is
right, but that a difference about the
amount exists. The interstate COM
merce commission AN hold the income
down to what is a fair return upon
the value OF the railway property.

NEW HOME GROWN
SUPPLIES CUT FARM.
ERS' COST OF LIVING


Why can the farmer continue in bust
ness when the financial summary OF his
operations shows, at the end OF the
year, a margin Of profit 50 small as to
be insufficient to support his family?
1t is because OF the food, fuel, and
furnished the family by the
f>rm. These contributions" says the
States department OF agricul-
ture, ARE not a cash receipt flOm the
farm business, but they enable the
to red. &c materially the cash
cost Of living" SO far as food, fuel, and
are concerned twO-thirds of the
farmers living is furnished directly by
the farm. The food retained for family
use may be taken from the regular
farm products raised for market. No
plan seems complete without its
garden. A part Of the days col
of eggs is used in preparing
meals for the family. Similarly, other
food products are diverted to the pan
try, cellar, or ~smOkehouse, instead of
being sen to town to be sold. The
farm wood lot, condemned fruit trees,
discarded fence rails and posts, and
pruning wood furnishes fuel for cook
ing and heating.
These perquisites are not furnished
free Of cost to the farmer.
They represent labor and invested zap
ital. Much Of the labor, however, is
performed at times when the work of
the main farm business is not very
pressing, and frequently a considerable
part of it is done by women or chill
dren. Thus the actual money cost of
these things to the farmer is insignifi-
cant Or at most is considerable less
than it would be II they were bought.
