This gambler, when he heard that
Toomey was In Jail in default Of $50 900

clared that most of the money won from
the accused embezzler had been lost
by them at Saratoga.
Knowing that an effort will be made

from Toomey. do you think that those

COllingsw0od, N. j., Sept. 3.--1un-
dreds Of fruit and nut trees here aud
in other suburban places Of Camden
county are being attacked by what is
said to be the gypsy moth. and they are
doing much damage. II the county,
agricultural agent, Samuel Foster, OF
Haddonficld, finds after an investiga-

and farms there is possibility OF some
action being taken ct once in efforts t.
extrrminate the pest before II spreads.
Even in forests and parks and along
shaded avenues in different municipal =
ties thousands of webs are already
spun containing myriads Of tiny worms
that eat foliage and newly grown bark.
The first sign of these PESTS in many
instances is found on the trunk of trees.
where it appears that the moth larvae
has been deposited, which later appears
az large bunch Of woody worms rcsem-
bling tiny white caterpillars. Slowly
they creep up the trees in bunch. and
out on branches they spin their web and
change their shape into green worms.
