The automobile speed craze is again
approaching the limit on our streets, and
If not checked it is quite likely to end
In a bad accident if not a fatality sooner
or later. It is easy to understand how
the fine stretch of pavement on Eim
street may tempt a driver to "let 'er out
another notch," if for no other reason
than to throw a shiver Into bystanders or
overawe tbe more timid ones, but that Is
no excuse for mak ing our main thorough
fare a speed way or race oourse, and this
not always by strangers either. Unless
drivers cuall concede that the average
citizen has some rights which (bey are
obliged to respect a little "pinching"
should be resorted to 'ere tbe town Is ap
palled by a killing or a maiming, either
of which would be deplorable. Observe
the speed limit. Other towns are eufuro
lug it, why not Tionesla?

Yesterday was a very unlucky day for
tbe men working at tbe bark Job Just
across tbe creek from bere. Wm. Meager
got too near tbe ax used by his fitter aod
lost the end of tbe Index finger of tbe
right band and bad tbe next finger badly
cut. He went out on tbe morning train
and bad tbe doctor at Shellield dress tbe
injured member. He says be will work
Monday but we don't think be will as bis
injuries will hurt him more than be
thinks about Monday morning. Fred
Dobsnn of the same town and on tbe same
job, stepped on an old log and the outer
casing ol the same slid off throwing Li in
to the ground and be fell on bis ax, cut
ting bis right Brm near the elbow joint
qhile badly. Also, another boy wbo Is
just back to work from some injuries re
ceived last week, cut bis knee the same
day the other accidents happened. His
name is Dewey Spencer and he works
witb his father, James Spencer. If thiuga
go tiext week as they did last we may
need some men for tbe present to finish
the Job.
J. W. Dunkle took a trip to Johnson

Mrs. Geo. Cuthbertson of Lynch was
over tbe township last week enumerating

it ao unpleasant job.
A fire signal was blown from tbe log
engiue Friday morning aud for a time it
was thought a fire was In progress, but
later It developed that some one was fool
lug with the whistle to hear it blow. This
is a veiy bad practice as our people are
not used to this kind of fooling, aud if it
oontiuues a real fire signal may not be re
garded, so we tbiuk the best plan would
be to cut it out.
Tfie new barn across tbe creek is about
completed and last week a nice bunch of
hay was put in the loft.
Our foot-bridge is much used now and
most of the strangers crossing It try to
shake their companions to bother them
and do not kuow that we don't allow this,
so it becomes our duty to yell at strangers
to stop it. Neither do we allow people to
run on this bridge but as no signs are
posted tbey take it tbat everything goes,
but such is not the case. Two steps were
broken out of the east end but were re
placed by Potter's carpenters. A water
line is being laid to put the water in the
buildings of tbe camp from a spring on
the hillside, which will be balled with Joy

More About The Army Worm.
State Zoologist H. A. Surface is yet re
ceiving at his Harrirburg olllce many
letters, telegrams and loug distauce tele
phone calls concerning tbe Army worm,
which has recently made Its appearance
in numbers in all parts of Pennsylvania,
The inquiries show how little people gen
erally know about such pests. Also,
there has been a great deal 'of nonsense
published about remedies for this pest,
some of which are too complicated to be
considered.
In the first place the Army worm Is
wiih us every year. It is nothing more
nor less than a kind of Cutworm, but ac
cording to the natural laws which govern
the Increase and decrease of all living
creatures there are seasons favorable for
Its multiplication, when it appears in
grtater numheis than usual, and after it
eats the grass and grasslike vegetation
near where the eggs were laid from which
they batched, the worm or larvae crawl
to other vegetation to eat, aud hi this
crawling they are simply moving forward
like an army, aud, therefore, are called
Army worms, Some persons bave the
Idea that they march across the State like
an Invading host, while in truth their
marching is but a short distance, and
this simply for the purpose of procuring
loud.
The remedy first given by Prof. Surface
is the simplest and best. These con
sisted of nothing more than either to
spray with one-half ounce of arsenate of
lead In each galloo of water, or to apply
such liquid as a sprinkle from sprinkling
cans, or to mix dry arsenate of lead with
about 25 times its bulk of flour, or road
dust, and dust It over tho vegetation lia
bin to he attacked. The dust should he ap
plied In the evening or morning while the
ilnw is on. A coarse pepper box contain
ing arsenate of lead ami Hour will protect
any lawn from the pests.
