By CHARLES H. MANDY

According tq Jim Smiley city weights and measures inspector, the so-called army worm is playing havoc with the various corn patches in and around the city and county.
 He also states that he has a posi- tive and specific remedy for the ex- termination of the destructive pest and one that Is costless and within reach of all
 Jim further states that while the worm has been in evidence in this To- cality for a number of years, it is here in greater numbers than ever this year, is more destructive and that it is rap idly killing the growing corn.
 In the antebellum days Jim was a farmer and good one--he admits it himself. His principal crop in those days was corn, and of course he had trouble with the army worm. He waged constant warfare on the pest; he "fit' it day in and day out, and then he got on to the great discovery that not only saved his corn but made his life one long sweet song so far as his troubles with the army worm was con- cerned.
 As was heretofore stated, the remedy

By Associated Press

Charleston, W. Va, July 1e.-Mem- bers of the state constabulary of West Virginia will be sent into Mingo county to prevent occurrences of clashes on the Kentucky border during the past few weeks, according to a letter sent to Sheriff Blankenship at Matewan by Governor Cornwell today.
 In a telegram sent to the sheriff at the same time, the governor asked for a Correct version" of the facts con cerning the firing occasionally taking place on the border. He said the gov ernor of Kentucky had complained that firing began on the West Virginia side but that a statement given out by the United Mine Workers officers al Charleston said it began on the Ken lucky side.
 The latest fatality to occur in the Mingo coal field, where a strike of miners has been in progress several weeks, happened near Panther Wednes- day last when B. H. Hatfield, Mcdowell county deputy sheriff, was shot from ambush.
 Governor Cornwell claimed in his let ter to Sheriff Blankenship that c. F. Keeney, president of the United Mine Workers, district No. IT, and other of ffcials have been telegraphing the president to send federal soldiers to Mingo county After describing what martial law would mean to the com munitles where it was in force, the governor told the sheriff that If the United Mine Workers realized that when they demanded federal troops they are inviting such situation they would not be asking for them, and they would be using all their power to cooperate with you in maintaining public peace"

 AT THE COLONIAL

Today is the last appearance of Ethel clayton in her repertoire week at the colonial, where she is being presented Tn the Thirteenth Commandment y pronounced the best play in which she has been seen up to date
 The Thirteenth Commandment" is a serious drama and according to hearsay 1t IS of the emotional type and is full or deep meaning. What "The Thir- teenth commandment could be is a mat ter of deepest conjecture to all that were not fortunate enough to see it during previous engagement here.

YOUTHFUL FOLLY
 AT THE ALCAZAR

one of the most pleasing offerings or the week in movie circles has been
 outhful Folly" at the Alcazar, fea- turing the young and charming Olive Ihomas. It is typically a story of youth and folly, both of which are amply supplied by Olive herself in the perfectly portrayed role of youthful product of large plantation with all or the romantic ideas and illusions in- separable with her surroundings.
 fhe play is welcome in being neither pure comedy nor romance, but a fresh vital story with the wholly human quality of going from tears to laughter and back again and never lingering too long in either state. It is story of the south that takes place amid the brilliant surroundings of New Orleans higher social set, and on an old Louisi- ana plantation It has a plot that is literally adapted to suit all tastes

WILLIAM FARNUM
 AT THE RIALTO

William Farnum is appearing at the Rialto today in play which is par ticularly adapted to his virile, red blooded type. and which is pleasing contribution to lovers of the Farnum style of production. Loaded down with adventure in wild jungle, where Nor gan Civilian Farnum) went for the sake of the girl he loved, it is a story to thrill-the thrilling kind to the core. Adventure is well acted and real enough to stand your hair straight up, or set your teeth on edge-or do what ever happens to you when you are honest to goodness excited.

YES OR NO" AT
 THE TRIANON

That some men are married to their Jobs and others to their wives, and the subsequent temptation of the neg lected wife to receive other attention, Is the very striking theme of Yes or No," forceful drama showing at the Trianon with Norma Talmadge in the leading role.
 Miss Talmadge has the artistic tal- ent to present almost any part in an attractive and acceptable manner, and With her strong personality she has lent to an already delightful story her own personal charm. Few actresses on the stage or screen enjoy the wide popularity of the beautiful Miss Tal- madge, and in this latest appearance in Yes or No" that popularity is being fully Justified
