sweeping this country has met an
opposing force which is quite as pow
erful a. its own.
Men inclined to fastness smile at

without avail

they are meeting a more determin-

difficult TO scale.

SHADE TREES LOSE
THEIR LEAVES
Many Counties Report
Damage to Shade
Trees Due To The
Eating OF Leav-
es BY Some
Insect

Lexington. Ky.,-Oak. hickory and
walnut trees in many localities are
being dcfolated. In some cases
there is nothing left on the trees
except small tufts u mistletoc on
the topmost branches. This loss Of
leaves is caused by small insect
known a. the brown June bug. These
insects are hard TO find on account
Of the fact that they work at night
and hide in the soil in the day.
They are especially injurious TO
trees In sod fields that have not been
plowcd for a large number Of years,
since the young insects feed upon
the roots Of bluegrass The College
Of Agriculture, recommends the
spraying " damaged trees with ar
senate Of lead at the rate Of two
pounds 20 a barrel Of water. using
a spray pump giving sufficient force
10 throw the spray over the entire
tree Unless some such method Is
used TO control these insects. many
Of the trees. valuable for shade, are
liable 20 be killed this season. Al
ready damage has been reported
from jefferson. Clark, Fayette, Har-
rison and other counties which shows
that this injury Is more or less gen
era. Since thes, insects appear per
iodically; IL is not wise To spray the
trees until evidence Of their injury
is found; but a thorough application
of arscnatc Of lead as soon a. the
injury Is discovered should control
these insects.

WESTERN UNION EMPL0YES GET
 WAGE INCREASE

In common with thirty-two thou sand of their fellow employees in other cities, the local employees of the Western Union Telegraph Company who have been six months or more in the service of the Company will participate in salary increases tota1- ing over five million dollars year commencing January 1st.
 Employes who have been a year or more in the service will receive a 15 per cent. increase and those who have been six months but less than a year in the service will receive 10 per cent. Only employees who receive less than $250 a month will partici. pate.
 Manager Dana H. Russell of the local office states that these increases are in pursuance of an agreem ens reached some time ago between the management and the Association of Western Union Employees. The West ern Union is one of the large cor porations which engages in the pro- cess of collective bargaining with it's employees, and this is the latest oi several general increases which have been negotiated as a means of off setting to a certain extent the in- creased cost of living which has fall en so heavily upon the salaried class

 The search for the Bergdolls took the federal agents all over the coun- try. Grover got away in a high pow ere0 motor car and reports reached this city that he was seen in various sections of the west. He sent impu- dent messages written on postcards to the authorities. Once he was seen in Mexico and again in Cuba. He was provided with a. large sum of money. His mother, Mrs. Emma Bergdoll, is the widow of wealthy brewer.
 Although born in this country, the Bergdolls were of German descent and declared they would never fight against Germany. Mrs. Bergdoll was arrested several times on the charge of obstructing the draft.
 Later Mrs. Bergdoll was arrested charged with obstructing justice. With a revolver she had kept the of ficers at bay for several hours.

 Escapes Fine.

TOLL WILL PROBABLY
 BE THOUSANDS
Damage So Widespread Fix act Number May Never
 Be Known.

Mexico City, Jan. f---Huntdre possibly thousands, of lives were lost as a result of the earthquake which shook the state Of Vera Cruz Saturday night. So widespread was the damage done lby the shock and so wild are some of the sections that suffered from it that it is probable the number of casualties will never be known
 Private despatches received here from Vera Cruz and Ja1apa state that 1000 persons lost their lives at Couzt' Ian. These reports, which are said at both cities to be reliable, confirm in formanatio given out last night by presidential military headquarters where three churches andf 40 houses were destroyed.
 Volcanic eruptions have occurred at Cofre de Perite, from which point to the volcano of Orizaba the shock seemed to center, according to runners.
 Twenty bodies have been recovered from the Peseados at Ja1comulco and Apazapan.
 There were three slight shocks yes terday, according to information giy- en out yesterday afternoon at the astronomical observatory at Taco baya, a suburb of Mexico City.
 Travellers returning here from Vera Cruz say some streams were dried uI as a result of the shock and it is feared that many mills near Orizaba which depend upon water power vii be compelled to close. Several oil wells near TuXpam have been spouting petroleum since the earthquake, according to advices iron Vera Cruz.

THINK MAN HAD BEEN DEAD FOR
 FULLY 2 WEEKS

(COnunued from Page One.)
 According to the story told to the police and medical examiner, Fla herty has been an occupant of the shack in the rear of the French home for some time. He was last seen on the day before Christmas, but noth- ing was thought of his absence inas- much as he often came and went for weeks at 8 time without being seen by members of the French family.
 On the dead mans clothes were found a gold watch and chain, s193.65 in cash and a number of address, ed Christmas cards which he had probably intended to mall. A mum Der of the cards were addressed to people named 'F'laherty," in Center vile, Conn. These persons will be communicated with at once.
 Although Dr. Garlick has so far conducted only a. preliminary investi- gation, he stated this noon that death was probably brought about by nat ural causes. There were no marks of violence upon the mans body, and all of the windows ana the door in the shack were securely fastened on the inside
 At the Electric Cable company it was learned that FIaherty was first employed there on August 5. He worked steadily until December 8, but did not put in his appearance on the day before Christmas. This was the last day that the man was seen alive. A further investigation into the circumstances surrounding Fla herty's death will be conducted this afternoon.

Antwerp, Jan. 4.---Almost $500, ,0O0, 900 was realized from the sale of Ameri- can army stocks remaining in France after the departure of the American army. said Brig. General w. D. Con- nor, chief of staff of the American de- partment of supply, who sailed today for America. General Connor said he had estimated the value of the stocks at $1, 700, 900, 900, and declared it would have cost s750, GOO, 900 to take. the stocks aibck to America. The United States. therefore, receivedi a little less than 50 cents on the dollar for the supplies that were sold.
 The selling of army stocks was the best thing the American governm ent could do, the general declared. Had they been retailed in various coun- tries, great losses would have been e4railed, as the expense would have been heavy.
 France paid $400,0OO,00o for stocks it took over, while other allies and
