again in a coma, from which
in the succeeding day and a
half she rallied once again only
for a few moments. We we're
at her bedside almost constant
ly. Nothing has ever touched
me so deeply as to see one who
had always been so gay, so
thoughtful, and so unselflSh
fighting off with thin but fine
hands something that wanted to
take her away from us. Her
death was so characteristic Of
her Iife-she fought a good
fight.
Naturally, l cannot speak too
highly of her; but had she not
been my mother nothing would
give me greater pride than to
bespeak the qualities which
made her such an unusual
mother. She was truly a classic
example of real old-fashioned,
cultured, hard-working mother.
This last quality was undoubt-
edly responsible for her death,
which to us. her children, was
certainly untimely. All her life
she Slaved like a trojan, that
we, her children, and no one
ever made better things. She
cooked everything we ate, and
her baking was something long
to be remembered. She did all
the work-waShing, ironing,
house-cleaning-even to the
scrubbing of floors. We never
had a maid or a servant, except
when mother had her babies,
and she had five of them, two
of whom died while very young.
But, with all these things to
do, she nodded our speech and
character and etiquette so that
none of us has ever been en-.
barraSSed. In fact, when any,
one has ever commented on the
fact that college training gave
me good English and an ease
of expression. I have always
been quick to reply that I owed
these things to my mother. She
instilled in us a deep regard
for honesty. fair play. tolerance
toward others. and desire to
become worthy citizens Of the
places in which we lived.
During my high school days
she told me that her greatest
ambition was to see me gradu-
ate from college. and ] have
many times remarked that per-
haps my greatest happiness
came to me on the day that

CLUBPUTSCURB
ON POLITICS

An amendment to the bylaws
which provides that the club will
take no political action in 1882
which will embarrass any mem

meeting of the Montgomery
County Government Club in the
Bethesda elementary school.
This action was taken TO pro
tect Government workers who are
members of the club and who are
forbidden to take any part in
national politics.
Unanimous approval by the
400 delegates of the $750,000 road
building program for the north
ern and central parts Of Mont
gomery county, was given. This
already has been tentatively ap-
proved by the board of county
commissioners.

GRASSHOPPERS

GRAIN LOSS
Damage Mounts in Nebraska
As Fight Against Pests Is
Hampered by Lack Of Funds

LINCOLN, Neb., July % 0N.SO.
Reports Of damage by graSshop-
rers continued to be received to-
day from most parts of Nebraska.
Grain farmers in Northern
Nebraska were taking the heaviest
losses.
Fighting the pests is hindered
by q lack of funds. The State
allows no more than $500 to each
county to enable destitute farmers
to purchase poison. Secretary of
Agriculture Hyde has notified
State officials there is no chance
Of Federal aid.
Fields Swept
Meantime, the farmers are i'm
provising methods. In many Sec
tions further resistance is prac-
tically useless, for the fields have
been swept as if with a scythe.
Paris green and arsenic poison
have proved most effective. Mixed
with bran, these are spread in the
path of oncoming hordes. There
is little sign of a check in the
advance, however, since the inva
sion began six weeks ago and has
gathered momentum.
In Boyd county, according to
reports, the graSShoppers are 50
numerous that the railroad tracks
must be sanded so that trains
can gain traction through piles
Of insects.
Due to lack of funds, the
Nebraska farmers are unable to
use airplanes to spread poison
as is done against the boil weevil
in Southern cotton fields.
Electric Chair" Used
One Boyd county farmer de
vised an electric chair" for the
pests. This consisted of an elec.
trically charged screen, attached
to the front of an automobile
AS the car is driven through a
field, the grasshoppers are swept
against the screen and electro
cuted.
Another farmer rigged up a
device to sweep the insects into
an oil tank carried on the front
of a car. When the tank is filled,
the insects are piled on the
ground and the heap is ignited

boy could ever hope to receive,
that on the third day of rhe
great celebration my poor
mother. her heart gladdened,
yet stimulated unduly by it all,
collapsed and she almost passed
away.
In Ill Health
Her condition from month to
month had been so poor that
she had been forced to give up
various trips which would have
given her so much pleasure,
such as going with my orches-
ira and me to Miami when we
made a southern tour.
She had not been able to
come to New York to see my
new apartment, which I have
furnished comfortably, yet sim
ply. This last desire has been
all the more keen since I
mailed her pictures of the varl-
Gus rooms.
I had no idea that her condi"
tion was really grave until a
wire was delivered to me during
a morning rehearsal of George
Whites Scandals, a musical
play in which I expect to take
part in about four weeks. The
wire was from my father, and
it's message was extremely slRl-
pie. There was no hope OF re.
covery for mother, and he asked
us to get there as soon as posi-
BILE. It was decided that it
would be best to have Fay fol
low by train, while my brother
and I would fly.
Within three hours from re-
ceipt of the telegram, thanks to
the fastest of planes, we were at
her bedside. A spinal operation
had momentarily relieved her,
and she revived sufficiently to
be able to distinguish between
William and me. In fact. for
several hours we chatted gaily
and happily, though always
with a tinge Of pathos about it
all, as she knew as we'll as we
that the end was inevitable.
She had already expressed her
preference as to the gown in
which she wished to be buried
and she showed her good taste
as always by asking for simple
and dignified type of casket.

with the policy pursued by the
company in other Valley commun-
tiles which raised part OF the money
necessary for the plants, thereby
showing their desire 10 have such
plants built. Mr.. Shary said Grow
ers pay for their stock by contribut-
ing ten cents for every box of fruit
they market through the exchange.
S. r. Ewing. president Of the
chamber OF commerce. and d. II.

those who spoke III favor Of the \
