Poison Gas Urged For
Use Against Hoppers

Winnipeg, Man., April 12.-Use of
poison gas, similar to that used in
the great war, is urged for the exter-
mination Of the grasshopper pest in
western Canada by students of the
subject. Many letters and kilograms
received this week tell of the gravity
of the situation in southern Manitoba
show that the grasshopper has sur
vived freezing and r moving III
millions along the high lands.
The idea is to use the gas in the
same form as in battle, taking ad.
vantage of a favorable wind to drenct
the ground with the fumes. 1t would
also kill millions of gophers, another
pest, which farmers Of western Can
ada have been trying to eradicate
for years. Prairie chicken, it is be.

LATE SPRING KILLS
CATTLE in CANADA

Winnipeg, Man., April 12.-Cattle
are dying by the score all over
western Canada, owing to the late
spring preventing them getting pas
turage. The spring is very late this
year and the ground is, so frozen
that there is no feed yet.\ The flour
mills have been idle since the first
of the year, owing to the lack of ex-
port orders and there has been no
mill feed on the market for several
weeks. Hay is being shipped in from
Ontario by the trainload and from
the. grass country of the west but
there was no idea in mind that the
spring would be SO late following one
Of the ~severest winters on record.

Honored and Esteemed !
Citizen Enters Beyond

Allen Prewitt, ST., one Of our most
highly respected citizens, passed into
the beyond on Tuesday, the 14th, at
his late home in this county after an
illness Of many months, during which
time be suffered much, bearing the
intense pain heroically and free
Prom murmurings. He was a son Of
james and Henrietta Dawson Prev
fit, was born in this county August
18th 1914 and Us Of family Of
cifourteen children. He had lived on
>.xhe farm where he died for 50 years
and was prosperous farmer. His
wife, Mary Vance Reid Prewitt, pre-
ceded him to the grave about two
years ago. He is survived by one
brother, Clifton Prewitt, one sister,
Mrs. N. B Young and seven chill
dren,' Judge H. r. Prewitt, Marcus
A. Prewitt, president Of the Ex-
change Bank Of Kentucky; Richard
Prewitt, Mrs. Tandy Chenault, of the
county; Mrs. F. A. Jackson and
Mrs. J. L. McChord, of Winchester,
and Mrs. C. T. Evans. Of Mississippi.
When young man Mr.. Prewitt
united with the Bethlehem Christian
church and later placed his member
ship with the Mt. Sterling church,
and died as an active believing COM
municant. Funeral services we're
conducted at the late home this
morning at 10 o'clock conducted by
his pastor, Rev. Clyde Dsrsie and
his body was, consigned to earth in
the family burying ground.
We had known Mr.. Prewitt init
mately and of him our words are Of
praise. He loved his family, his
neighbors, his country, his state,
with nothing of malice in his ma
ture. He was a careful, studious
reader and we could say of him that
he was a student that was well in
formed as to the issues that con-
cerned most the vital interests of the
nation. A Democrat that accorded
to all men the same rights that he
claimed. For four years he served
this county as magistrate and it was
said of him he would give from his
own storehouse rather than draw
from his county even for those IN
dire distress and for whom it was
the county's duty to provide. He was
a just man to whom no adverse crit
icism could be charged. His life was
an open volume with each chapter
and paragraph conveying thoughts
helpful and encouraging to him who
would pass his way. The children
have in his life a character worthy
of emulation. May his mantle fall on
worthy sons and daughters and may
their lives be as his, just, affection
ate, led onward and upward, attain
ing a goal, the end Of which is of |
that peace and joy of which God is !
