"To destroy army worms," says he, "take a pitchfork full of pine straw and put piles of straws In the rows about twenty feet apart and ahead of the worms. Sprinkle one-quarter pound of sulphur on each pile of straw. Set Ore to piles of straw Just after sundown, when. the . wind Is calm. Thla has been found to be successful remedy."

Wilbur Chapman, wboae sermons have made a deep Impression on those who have beard them during the past week. He took his text from Weymouth's tran sition ef the BjMe. Phil J: The nam supreme. His subject was tb "-r-'e Nam, EMILIANO ZAPATA, THE REBEL y.:'M ownership of some of the lands the peon tills. He has worked for the big sugar companies for fears. During that time he received the least possible pay the companies could give hlmlind his fellow workers. He did not receive this pay In money, but in orders on the company's store for the simple food he ate and the cloth to make the clothes that partly cover his body. For six months of the year he worked hard and for the other six months be was forced to sit back and starve while he waited for another crop of the sugar cane so that be could get busy In the fields.

Alfalfa Bill wanted all members to bave their families with them constantly throughout tbe sessions In order that they might not grow lonesome. "Abraham Lincoln, Daniel Web ster, James A. Garfield, William J. Bryan and others all took thla allowance when they S re In th bouse, and who would dare accuse any of them of being gratters," aatd Mr. Murray.
