LONG DR0UTH
BROKEN HERE
Slight Rain Fall Sunday
Night Ends 50-Day
Dry Spell

A rainfall of three-tenths of an
inch, recorded during Sunday
night, brought some slight relief
to Henderson county, without rain
since September IL.
Farmers have been seriously
hindered in their work by the abb
sence of rain. In manv instances
farmers have been unable to har-
vest potatoes or to get fall plow-
ing done on account of the con-
dition of the ground.
T. w. Valentine, cooperating
U. S. weather recorder, reported
that the precipitation here was
only three-tenths of an inch. 1t
was not learned today how gen.
eral the rainfall over the county
was or if it had been more in
some areas.

DEATH CALLS
GEN. GREEDY
Noted Arctic Explorer Won
Late Recognition for
Early Exploits
WASHINGTON. Oct. 81. (UP)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81. (UP)
Maj. Gen. Adolphus Greedy, 81,
who led scientific expedition to
within seven degrees of the North
Pole more than half a century ago,
died at p. m. yesterday at Wal
ter Reed hospital.
The white-bearded veteran, only
recently honored by congress for
an exploit that preceded by %
years the first successful expedl-
ton to the pole, had been at the
hospital two weeks. Despite his
advanced age and a gangrenous
condition in the legs which once
had been numbed by Arctic cold,
he chung to life with a vitality that
amazed his physicians.
In 1882 when Greedy led a
party of 25 into the Arctic to
make weather observations ne had
little data to guide him. Years
were to pass before explorers
could have a radio link with CIV
ilization and airplanes to carry
them swiftly over waste areas
Then it was dreary, bitter plod-
ding with dog sleds.
The Arctic winter closed over
the party. Rescue ships were sent
out. One was crushed in the ice;
two others never got through. FL
nally, after three years, seven men
came back. There were rumors Of
canibalism in the desperate night
for life-rumors that later were
proved groundless.
Because of the cloud of suspii-
cion that accompanied the party 5
return, recognition was slow. But
later Greedy was made chief OF the
army signal crops; he ORGANIZE,
the u. S. weather bureau; advised
President Mckinley in the Span,
ish-American war; and directed
relief work after the San Francis
CO. earthquake.

much faster recovery than we are.
But then, English business is not
being kept in constant state Of un-
certainty such as is American bus
mess. Here, we do not know twen-
ty-four hours ahead what to ex-
pect or when to expect it, and the
result Is that everybody is afraid
to go ahead. We keep things NOV
ing after a fashion through enor-
nous expenditures of the taxpay-
ers' money on relief work.
Many people on relief do not
want job because it will take
them off the dole. Only this morn
ing I read where the raspberry
crop in several sections of the
East will probably rot because it is
impossible to get workers on re-
lief to pick the berries. They do
not want to take a chance of be-
ing put off relief by going to work.
I am wondering what Is going to

be remembered that we cannot

without exhausting our national
credit, and neither can we spend

Our log cabin here In the North

something like bedbugs. What can
we do about them?
These bugs evidently are not the
ordinary household bedbugs which
are so troublesome, but are a spec
ial species which normally are
found on bats. Quite often they
invade woods cabins and may be-
come quite annoying. Fortunately,
they are not as hard to get rid Of
as ordinary bedbugs. The circu-
lars am sending you give meth
DDS for ordinary bedbugs. These
methods will be effective for the
pests you have.-W. A. Riley, Div
ision of Entomology.
Please tell me what kind Of
worm this is. Question that ac-
companied a specimen.)
The long, slender, wire-like
worm, which you sent for identifi-
cation and which you say was
found on a grass mower is a para
site worm of the group commonly
known as cabbage snakes. They
are so-called because in the fall of
the year they tend to enter the cab
bage heads, in seeking a place to
spend the winter. In their early
stages these worms are parasitic
on insects and are of considerable
value in destroying certain iujur-
ious species. In their later stages
they do not feed but usually live
free in the soil. They are entirely
harmless.-Wm. A. Riley, Chief,
Division Of Entomology.
What can we do to avoid the
dangers of the housefly? The use
of chloride Of lime or of dry lime
seems to have no effect on the
breeding of flies in outdoor toilers.
One Of the most dangerous as
poets Of the housefly problem is
that these insects are attracted to
and breed in human excitment. In
this way they become contaminated
with disease organisms and as they
may pass directly from infective
excrement to food or drink, there
is ample opportunity for them to
transmit disease.
AS you have found out in your
experience, dry lime or chloride of
lime has practically no effect on
this breeding. None Of the COM
mercial sprays which you mention
are of any value in that respect. A
very liberal supply of kerosene
would have some value but there
would be too great fire hazard on
account of the possibility of match
es being dropped into the vault. If
it is necessary to maintain an out
of-doors toilet, the door should fit
tightly and should be closed by a
spring or by a pulley and weight.

NEW OIL STATIONS
ON TRUNK ROUTES
MUST HAVE PERMIT

A warning to all business men,
particularly Oil station proprietors,
that no private entrance to state
trunk highway can be constructed
without a permit was issued this
week by the state highway depart
ment.
"In the interest of public safety
1t has been necessary to prescribe
certain rules governing the con-
struction of private entrances to
trunk highways and the location
of gasoline pumps, says a state
ment issued by N. w. Elsberg,
highway commissioner.
"In several instances recently oil
stations have started construction
without complying with the neces-
sary regulations. Every person
planning the establishment of a
business requiring a private en-
trance to trunk road should obtain
his entrance permit before erect
ing any buildings, gas pumps or
other equipment"
District maintenance offices of
the highway department will issue
permits in most instances. In lar
ger town and cities where there
are regular municipal permit Of
fices, these are authorized to issue
permits.
