Army Worm Easy To Kill.
State Zoologist II. A. Surface, who
has been investigating the ravages of
the army worm in Berks, York, Leb
anon and Dauphin counties, says it is
easily destroyed.
"The army worm Is with us every
year, and merely feeds as one of the
ordinary cut worms, of which we have
a great many species. It Is only
through the agency of unusual natural
conditions that it Increases to such
numbers as to exhaust Its food supply
in one locality and then move forward
In search of more. It Is usually not
rbserved, excepting during the years
when it starts to march. This Is one
of those years. It is held in check by
practically all kinds of Insectivorous
creatures, especially birds and toads
and other insects. At present many of
the specimens being sent to the State
Zoologist are infested with internal
parasites which will destroy them, as
Indicated by white eggs of the Insects
placed on the skin of the worm.
"The army worm is easily destroyed
by arsenical sprays or dusting. A half
ounce of arsenate of lead, or of parts
green, In each gallon of water sprayed
or lightly sprinkled over them will
poison their food fo as to kill them
within a few hours. Another good
method of treatment Is to add one
thirtieth part of either dry arsenate of
lead or paris green to dust, powder, or
flour of any kind for the sake of dilut
ing the poison, and with a large pepper
box or baking powder can, with the
bottom punched full of hol.es to serve
the purpose, dust the mixture very
lightly over the grasses or plants In
Tested by the pests. Do this while the
grass Is damp, and the dust will stick
and kill the pests as soon as they feed
sgaln."

Ishlng a week ago, has been badly danv

winds accompanying the recent storms.
In some parts of the Susquehanna,

washed out great patches of growing
corn and in some instances it was car

VOTE IS MOTHER'S RIGHTS
Secretary Declares Woman Has Proved
Herself Equal To Every Re
sponsibility Imposed On
Her.
Washington, D. C Secretary Bryan,
In a formal statement, came out ror
woman suffrage. He declared that he
would ask no political right for him
self that he was not willing to grnnt
his wife, and announced hlB Intention
of supporting the proposed State con
stitutional amendment extending me
franchise to women to be voted upon
In Nebraska next November.
Woman. Mr. Brvan said, had proved
herself equal to every responsibility
Imposed upon her, and would not fall
society In this emergency. Above all
other arguments In favor of giving her
the ballot he placed the right of the
mother to a voice in the molding oi
the environment of her children. "The
mother." the Secretary said, "can
Justly claim the right to employ every
weapon which can be made effective
in the protection of those whose inter
ests she euards. and the ballot will
nut within hpr reach all of the In
strumentalities of government, Includ
ing the police power.
Will Vote For Amendment.
The statement. In part, follows:
"The voters of Nebraska will, at the
election next November, adopt or re
ject a proposed amendment extending
suffrage to woman on equal terms with
men. As a citizen of that Mate, it
will be mv duty to participate In the
decision to be rendered at the polls.
I have delayed expressing an opinion
on this subject, partly because I have
been seeking information, and partly
because my time has been occupied
with national Questions upon which the
entire country was acting, but now
that the issue is presented In my State
I take my position. I shall support the
amendment. I shall ask no political
rights for myself that I am not willing
to grant to my wife.
"As man and woman are co-tenants
of the earth and must work out their
destiny together, tho presumption Is on
the side of equality of treatment in an
that pertains to their Joint Hfo and
Its opportunities. The burden of proof
is on those who claim for one an ad
vantage over the other In determining
the conditions under which both shall
live. This claim has not been estab
lished in the matter of suffrage. On
the contrary, the objections ralBed to
voman suffrage appear to me to be in
valid, while tho aiguments advanced
m support of the proposition are, in
my judgment, convincing."

Washlncton. D. C From sources as

the information that the new Haven

form it did to prepare the railroads

part, a denial of the advance asked for
by the Eastern carriers.
This Information, though, of course,
unofficial, la sufficiently authoritative
that the interests most concerned In
the forthcoming rate decision are
about convinced that the commission's
action will bo on the whole adverse to
th carriers and that the results of
the New Haven Investigation will be
cited as a compelling reason why con
snrvatton of revenue Instead of an in
crease of Income should be the remedy
applied for the present financial con
ditlon of the railroads.
In other words, the conviction Is
strong in Washington that the com
mission means to allow only minor ad
vances In the prevailing rates and in
tends to show that the money the rail
roads have made, and are capable of
making under the present scale, is
sufficient for all purposes of operation.
