ARMY WORM WORRIES
FARMERS HEREABOUTS

From various parts Of the county
reports OF damages by the army
worm. In most cases the damage re-
ported has been slight, but in rare
instances entire fields have been ruin
ed.
Cotton has suffered little, if any.
Most of he damage SO far reported
has been to corn and pasturage.
Some of our farmers have been
considerably worried lest this pest
should destroy the crops entirely, but
there is no possibility Of such thing
happening. In fact the army worm
has done its worst an6 in a few days
will have passed out Of existence. Its
natural span Of life is fortunately only
eight or ten days ana this period is
generally shortened several Gays by
certain kind of fly that follows the
worm anl lays eggs on It's back. These
eggs, Matching, produce a magot that
bores into the army worm and kills it.
The worm that IS at present caus-
ing some damage is not the regular
army worm that worked such havoc
in 1911. This worm, unlike the regu-
lar army worm does not march in a
given direction destroying all before
it; but usually spreads in all direc-
tions from the place it comes forth
from the ground. 1t feeds principally
on grass and young corn but in the
| absence of these will attack cotton,
cutting of the leave: but seldom, if
ever boring into the bolsl or eating
the blooms.
1t is now about time for the last
summer, generation Cf the pest, but
there is some lii;lihcod of another
generation appearing several weeks
later. These will not do much harm
as crops will then tc 700 far edvanc-
ed to be enticiny to the worm, which
is essentially feeder on tender
green stuff.
The worm is :hc offspring of a
moth which lays it's eggs in the
ground. About two weeks are re-
quired for the Matching and appear
ance above the ground of the worm.
The worm is described as grayish
on the back with three white stripes,
one on each side and one down the
back. On the front of the head is a
white mark resembling the letter Y
upside down.

SHOOTING AFFRAY AT RUBY

Last Saturday night at Ruby the
concert" of the Brazilfan Herb
doctor" was abruptly terminated
when fight started and the flash of
a pistol and it's report in the midst of
the crowd caused the audience to
scatter in various directions. The en-
tertainers, both of them, are also re-
ported to have vanished from the
scene with lightning-like rapidity. AS
result of the encounter Van Camp
bell is laid up with a slight wound in
the side and Kinmore Sellers is under
bond charged with carrying a con-
cealed weapon and with assault with
intent to kill. There had been a
grudge between the two young men
for sometime. When they met in the
the crowd Saturday night a fight
started. Whether Mr.. Campbell
struck blow IS not known. He re-
ceived blow on the forehead and

Rusty was simply burying the nuts
he was picking up under the big
hickory tree. Chatterer was tempted
to dig up those nuts. but this would
be even more work than hunting for
them among the leaves on the ground
under the big tree from which the
Merry Little Breezes had shaken them
down. So he left them alone and con-
tinued to spy in the hope of finding
a big storehouse, which he could rob
at will later.
Now Rusty wasn't burying all those
nuts just to fool Chatterer. Oh my.
no. No indeed, That is one OF Rusty
ways of having them for winter, just
as it is one of the ways Of Happy Jack
the Gray Squirrel. He knew that hid
den from sight. under the leaves or
buried in tiny holes in the ground
they would remain there until he
needed them. Then when he wanted
them he could dig them out. OF course
he didn't expect TO remember just
where each one was hidden. but he
knew that his nose would find them
for him, even when there was snow
on the ground So Rusty wasn't doing
all this work just to fool his small
cousin. But the knowledge that he
was fooling Chatterer made real fun
of what might have seemed hard
work. And at the same time he was
filing a storehouse.

Rusty Has a Little Fun With

Rusty the Fox Squirrel.
Rusty, the Fox Squirrel had ap-
pesred to pay no attention to the
scolding of his small cousin. Chat
terer the Red Squirrel. He had gone
on about his business, which was col
lecting and storing away fat hickory
nuts, quite as il no such person as
that is the way it seemed.
But Rusty all the time had kept
watch of Chatterer. He knew that
Chatterer was plotting mischief AND
when at last Chatterer disappeared
Rusty guessed just what he was doing.
He guessed that Chatterer was hiding
where he could watch him.
THAT little scamp is spying.

storehouse. i know Red Squirrels.

l think I'll have little fun with him."
So Rusty took fat hickory-nut on
behind a clump of young hemlock
trees and buried it in the SOFT ground
under the leaves. Then he did the
didn't bury it in just the same place.
A third time he did 1t. This was
when Chatterer was sure he had found
Rusty's storehouse. All this time he
hadn't caaght so much as glimpse
of Chatterer.
On his way back with the fourth nut
Rusty heard a great rustling of
leaves ahead Of -him just as he was
passing through the little clump of
hemlock trees. He paused and peered
out. There was Chatterer making the
dirt fly as he dug where Rusty had
buried the last nut. Rusty chuckled
down inside so that he wouldn't be
heard. Then he hastily buried that
fat nut right in the middle of that
hemlock thicket and hurried back
to the big hickory tree.
The next nut Rusty carried quite a
long distance in another direction be-
fore burying it. Several more he took
over near the same place and buried
BY this time he felt sure Chatterer
was following him, but keeping out OF
sight, and in this he was right. Then

FOR A CHILD.

There can be no possible doubt that
it is cheaper to make clothes for
children than to buy them ready
made. provided care is taken in the
selection of materials and special
sales and remnant counters are pa
tronized The shops are always fea-
turing odds and ends of materials that
are ideal for children's clothes. es-
pecially SO in these days when the
fabrics employed for clothes for
grown-ups are just as we'll suited to
juveniles requirements.
The sketch illustrates dress that
is very smart and that really requires
a very small amount of material. AS
originally designed. it was made of
dark brown velveteen trimmed SIM
ply with a banding of rather heavy
faille ribbon in lighter shade. A

top.
There is. of course. a seam in the
underneath part of the sleeve, as the
dress is cut SO that it follows the
natural line Of the figure, fiarins
somewhat at the lower edge. A row
Of buttons gives an additional trim
ming touch to either side of the
dress. It may be a slip-over-the- head

in the back, the opening finished with
a band of the ribbon and fastened
with buttons, or the fastening may
be invisible.

little fabric or trimming and is SO
easy to make that any one with any
knowledge of sewing may confidently
attempt it.
Spring styles for children are now

favor, many ruffies apparently Will
adorn the juvenile population next
season. and among the popular trim
mings appliqued motifs stand high.
Cretonne flowers are appliqued on
smart little linen frocks, and colored
linen motifs of various sorts frequent
ly appear on white organdy frocks.
