 BL0ck Sidezualks; Cops Busy

The Irish are always starting some thing. That Is what they say in Bris- tol, Conn.
 There is a very popular young hardware dealer by the name of Peter Cawley who bought Main street. store and made enough money out of 1t to buy half a block. Last summer he wondered what was the matter with his fishing tackle business, so he started a cont ntest-and trouble.
 Every prize fish, or string of fish which was a candidate for prize had to be exhibited on cake of ice in Cawley's window. Crowds gather ed around the window so much that they blocked the sidewalk, and the Chief of Police complained of the nuisance. But the chief was a candi- date for re-appointment and so he didn't want to interfere.
 So many people drove in from near by towns and villages to see these prize fish that they had to get extra parking space. The story of this nov el contest spread so rapidly that hun dreds of sporting goods and hardware stores in all parts of the country are

 Solomon In Provisions Of Verdict

St. Ciafsville, Ohio, June 9-The fame of the late King Solomon, who attained worldwide repute for the justice of his decision as to which of two women was the mother of a babe taken before Era, may well give way to the modern variety Of justice as ex- emplfhed by a Belmont County Common Pleas jury.

 Then it was that John ShutIack. the plaintiff, alleged that he was hit in the forehead with a stone.

Jazz Dance Is Cocaine Of Physical Movements,

 Americans will soon be done with jazz Theodore Kosloff. world-fam- ous Russian dancer, declares. This horrible period of dance ugliness has been the spree of a country. It will be followed by a disgust. a revulsion against jazz which will pave the way for a beautiful American form of the dance, a dance as distinctively na- tional as those of Russia, France, Spain and Italy,

those in the corn belt, are urged

sioner of agriculture, 10 report at
once, TO state agriculture officials
any signs OF the invasion of the
european corn borer. which Mr..
Holmberg says is causing great
losses to corn growers of eastern
Although no evidences of this
dreaded parasite have been discov-
cred in the state, Mr.. Holmberg is
anxious that every precaution be
taken to preclude an Invasion from
eastern states.
The worm was imported to the
eastern states from Europe in hemp
shipped to these shores, and rapidly
made its way through the Atlantic
coast states, leaving nothing but
large devastated areas of corn acre
age in its wake.
Agricultural officials of these in
tested states are making a Joint
onslaught Of the destructive worm
but it appears that despite, the CO.
operative work, the worm Is CON
tinually spreading its work of de-
struction Mr., Holmberg said. It has
reached as far west as the eastern
section of Ohio. and if proper meth
DDS are applied it is hoped the para
site will be exierminated.
Worm Great Menace.
Mr.. Holmberg terms the worm
as the worst menace confronting
the farmer, and unless its revaging
is controlled, will cause losses to-

next growing season.
Farmers Of Minnesota are urged
to carefully inspect their seed corn
which is shipped into this state
from eastern points. and if possible
confine themselves \ to purchasing
seed which Is raised in the western
states.
The worm enters the corn stock
and works its wav up Denetrating
the cob, thereby DESTROYING the en-
tire plant and its fruit Not only
does the borer enter~ the corn field,
but IL attacks the celery fields as
well, laying low the plants AS il ad-
yances in its work of destruction.
Weeds are also q hiding pla-e for
the horer. and farmers are advised
to Gear their fields of all noxious
weeds or adjacent areas which are
covered and form probably breed
ing place for the moth which depo-
sits the eggs in the corn plant.
Standard Control Measures.
Burning. or feeding ont to cattle,
either dfrert from the field or from
the silo, all crop remnants and
weeds. grS':s and other volunteer
growths that might harbor the
pest, are the standard control meas
ures. Mr. Holmberg explained.
Deep plowing also is a good meth

report that the pest has been re-

Every precsution will be taken
by state officials to ward off anv

and Eith the o-operation of the

Holmherg is honeful that the worm
will not make its advent into Min

c. Davis as director general OF. rail-
ways for injuries alleged to have
been sustained by her in attempting
to board Great Western train at
Varco. south Of Austin, in the spring

Miss Olson alleged that she Slip

when compelled TO walk a distance
down the right, of way because of
the failure of the train to stop at
the highway crossing. 1t was main :
tanned that the railroad was negIi-
gent in failing to provide a safe
means of boarding the train.
