whether householders will continue
to pay s1.25 per thousand cubic feet
during September and October or A
decision the Public Utilities Commits
sion reaches as to the rate of return
to which the gas company is entitled.
President Urges Higher Rate.
In letter addressed to the COM
mission yesterday. Howard S. Rec
side, president of the company. stated
that accountants have found that
even to earn per cent on it's valua-
ton for the year ending next May the
company should charge S1.32 per
thousand cubic feet.
The president expresses the belief.
however. that if the commission con-
tinues the present rate for two
ing that period will demonstrate the
linadequacy of that rate.
Mr.. Reside also states in the letter
that the gas company still contends
it should be allowed a return of per
cent instead of 6, and that it does not
believe per cent would be excessive.
In order to earn per cent return
for the year ending next May. Mr..
Reside says the company should get
$500, 009S3 from the sale of gas.
During June. July and August the in
come of the company has amounted to
s1.O5O.9S1S1. This leaves balance
of S4,88S, O2S.02 to be taken in during
the remaining nine months. In order
to get this much, the letter sets forth,
rate of $1.32 is needed.

Leingxton, Ky, June 23.-The
Veterinary Department, of the College
of Agriculture, estimates the annual
loss of sheep caused by grub in the
head, at $250,O00. This is approx
matey per cent of the entire num-
Der of sheep in the State killed annu-
ally by an insect. This loss can very
largly be eliminated by simply Dip

operatios should be performed from
the middle to last Of June,as that is
the time when the gad-fy make their
appearance and do much damage.
Since there is so much need for wool
and since Kentucky is encouraging
the keeping and raising Of sheep, the
farmers should give this matter i'm
mediate attention and make plans to
treat each individual Of their flock.

THE ARMY WORM.
Appearance Reported In Larue, Da-
yiess and Henderson Counties

Lexingtos, Ky, June 19.-ln
some sections of the state corn and
timothy are being damaged by the
veil known army worm. This in
sect sometimes does it's injury by
night and thereby is rather mislead-
ing as to its identity. Contrary to
what is commonly supposed the ar
Kay worm does not always march"
or 20 in large groups; but they may
feed like the cut worm and only at
long intervals assume the marching
hsbit. They are found practically
every year in SMALL numbers and 1t
is only occasionly that they assume
such numbers as to be very destruc-
tive to the cultivated crops. The ex-
periment station recommends few
staple means Of keeping these in
seets in check.
I. Strips of useless grass or weeds
along the edge of a cultivated field
can often be burned from time to
time in the field when the worms are
young.
3. 1t may be practical to pillow up
che strips at this time.
Z J. These strips of uncultivated
Z land may be sprayed with arsenate
Of lead at the rate of two pounds of
tke powder to fifty gallons of water.
IL arsenate of lead taste is used the
solution should be fore pounds to SO
gallons of water.
4: A poison bran mash can be used
where the worms are gathering head
way. This bran mash can be made
by using 20 to 25 pounds of bran
4 to 8 pounds of Paris Green and a
quart OF cheap molasses. Add enough
water 10 mositen. Scatter this late
in the evening in a row along the in
tested places.

PLANT ELMS AND LlNDENS
For the Parkway They Have Many
Advantages Over Others That
Might Be Selected.

A correspondent asks advice regard
parkway in front of his home.
Several people advised elms," he
writes, but they are such slow grow
ers, and as / am not young l would
like to plant some kind that / will
have a chance to enjoy. l am also
thinking of planting four fruit trees
In the yard. probably three cherries,
as they seem to do better than most
fruit trees, and pear or an apple"
The American elm is by far the
best tree for this purpose. 1t grows
fast enough, starts to branch high and
does not obstruct the view. 1t arches
beautifully, high up over the street,
and is a long-lived, hardwood variety,
not seriously affected by insects and
fungus pests.
The American linden might grow a
little faster, but the tussock moth likes
it too well. The American ash grows
faster, but it soon gets shaggy, is sus-
ceptible to boring insects and drops its
leaves In August. The sycamore Is
good and faster grower, but it's bark
is shaggy. The blackberry is just as
good as the elm, but slower growing.
The red and pm oaks are better, but
no one has the patience to plant them.
Do not plant cottonwood, box elders,
soft naples, nor poplar where an elm.
hard maple, blackberry, oak or gingko
will grow.

NEED TO SHOW CIVIC PRIDE
Individual Citizens Must Recognize
They Are Responsible for Towns
Good Appearance.

Prosperity and spirit of progress
have caused vast change for the bet
ter in the appearance and development
Of the smaller towns of the country
in the past 25 years. This is strik-
ingly noticeable in Indiana, which for
merly showed too many villages with
ragged edges, uninviting streets,
tumble-dOwn sheds and other unat-
tractive features.
Now the outlook of the traveller Is
quite different. He sees clean, paved
streets, cement sidewalks, beautiful
shade trees, well-kept lawns, and
general appearance of cheerful we'll
being. There are exceptions to the
rule, however; Indiana has many beau
tiful towns, but there are still some
which are slipshod and carry the sug-
gestion that their public spirit Ian
guishes. Some stimulus 10 their pride,
something to encourage local improve
ment and arouse the people to the fact
that they are not keeping up with the
times, Is needed. 1t might be done
by state society that would grade
the work, offer suggestions and show
that a town may be made beautiful
without great expense and with each
citizen doing his part.-Indianapolis

children; here talks are made to moth
ers about the proper care OF their pa
bies. The hall is fitted up as walt
ing room with health posters on the
walls and health literature for distri
button to all who are interested Inc
room on the right is an emergency
hospital fitted up with five beds and
crib for the very small patients
And at the back is the nurses private
office, which is also the operating
room, fitted with a real operating Ia
BILE and dentists chair.
Weighing and measuring chndren
of school and pre-school age was one
OF the first things undertaken at the
center. Children who were under
sized and under-weight were ADVISED
as to their diet, and SO eager were
they to gain the pounds and inches
that would make them normal that
they readily consented to substitute
milk for the coffee and tea they were
accustomed to drink.
Miss Harry next turned her atten-
tion to the care OF the teeth. AT her
request, dentist came over the noun
tains from Franklin and stayed for
ten days and was busy for every min
ute of that time, finding several seri-
Gus cases of pyorrhoea among fifteen
and sixteen year old children. Miss
Harry's dental clinic will be respon-
sible for saving these teeth. Later,
an eye, ear, nose and throat specialist
followed the dentist and a number
of operations for tonsils and adenotds
were performed at the Health Center
the patients and their mothers being
kept overnight in the emergency hos
pital. Both clinics will be a more or
less regular matter from now on.
In addition to her work at the health
center, Miss Harry has done visiting
nursing all over the mountains, some
times walking four or five miles to
see one patient. One woman, the
mother of ten children, who has not
been out Of bed for several years, has
already been taken to Charlotte for a
serious operation, Miss Harry accom-
panying her on the journey as she
had never been on the train before.
But the value Of Red Cross pub
lie health nurse is not limited to re-
mote rural communities, as the fol-
lowing extracts from a report made
by a woman Of Athens, Ca, who in
terested herself in the work of the
Red Cross nurse employed by the
Clarke County Chapter will show. The
report, which was published In the
