High Points of Cox's Speech

Saturday of last week, at the fair !
grounds, near Dayton, Ohio, there are
said to have been present 10000 people
to hear the speech made by Governor
James NJ. Cox in formally accepting the |
presidential nomination.
The speech of notification was delivered
by Senator Robinson. of Arkansas The
high points in Mr.. cox's speech. as re-
ported by the Associated Press in its
dailies, are:
:. thank God take up the standard
of Democracy free man, unfettered by
promises, and happy in the conscious
ness of untrammeled opportunity to

edies and obligations of the war, not
consecr;lted to Il sense Of honor and of
duty which resists every base sugyes-
ton Of personal or political expediency,
is unworthy of the esteem of his cotln-

Russians made their separate pe;ice

This plan would not only be IL piece

adulterated dishonesty as well.

Lodge said that to make peace except

brand us everlastingly with dishonor
and bring us to ruin.

This leaves $50 electoral votes out Of

CONTROL OF CABBAGE WORMS
Paris Green or Lead Arsenate Applied
as Spray Is Recommended
as Efficacious.

The cabbage worm is probably the
worst of all the pests that bother cab
bage. 1t and the white butterfly, which
Is its parent, are well known. The
butterflies are on the wing from early
morning until dusk. They appear in
the early spring, and usually are more
or less common until frost. The eggs
which they lay hatch in from four to
eight days, and the larva or worm
eats voraciOusly and grows rapidly.
The best remedy is paris green or lead
arsenate applied as spray, starting
in when the cabbages are so small as
to prevent the worms from getting in
to the heads of the cabbages. This
spraying should continue until the
heads are at last half grown.
