cally repudiated the ' hell fire" theory.
It was the sense of the convention that

- Caterpillars Are Killing Trees. ,
It is noticed that caterpillars are dee
troying many of the small trees in the

ting these pests have teen tritd but (he
following simple method has proven
vmy satisfactory and ia sure death to
them When the nesU are first dis
covered on the tree, cut off (he branch
if it is practicable and after pouring
a small quantity of kerosene oil on it
set fire to it If tha branch Is too large
to be cut without injuring the tree
pray the oil on and Ignite. By doing
this many valuable trees may ba saved.

Mr. J. F. Leitner, an architect .from
Wilmington, is now in the ci y getting
the plana for the main building, poultry
building, stock barns and grand stand
in readiness for the contractors. .The
main building will be 70 feet wide and
200 feet in length and will be amply
ighted by numerous skylights.
Just what lighting facilities will be
used has not fully been decided upon.
Either the electric power will be secur
ed from the city or a small electric plant
installed on the grounds.
At some convenient place in the main
building will be rest rooms for both
ladies and gentlemen and evrry effort
will be made to asure the patrons of Ihe
