Owing to the cool spring and tho unusually moist spring and summer prevailing over most of Nebraska, tho armyworm which florlshes during such seasons because its parasites 'nro hold back when tho weather Is not warm and bright, has put in an appearance in many parts of Nebraska. Tho ento mologists at tho University of Nebr aska Agricultural Collego say that tho worms rt this timo prosent In tho field bel-ing to tho second brood or generation for tho year. This brood usually reaches tho dostructivo stage during tho last fow days In July or oarly in August, and continues actl Tlty until about tho middle of August. Tho armyworm Is co-called because lt has the habit of traveling In mass es or "armies", devouring almost ev erything as It does so. "Wliilo such movements may tiko placo in tho day tlmo thoy occur chiefly at night Tho best way to deal with tho army worm post is to stop them with fur row barrlors and poison them with a poisoned bran mash.

"Selllsh old millionaire, am I? Uuhl" grunted Edgar Applejohn, as he Binoked his dollar cigar In the club window. "Well, let me put lt to you straight, Jepson. I'm as charltablo as most men, I hope, und when I see a case of real distress I'll open my pockets wide. But my experience Is I've always been fooled. That's why I've drawn my purse-strings tight." lie shifted his cigar from one sldo of fnr.nii n "That's all right," answered Jepson, "but what the organized charities don't cover Is cases where the deserv ing poor arc- prevented from applying friend's shouldor, "that mother has tolled for her boy.

Educated, you say?" "She Is rellned nnd educated." "Then lend me to her," said Apple John. "Walt one moment. There Is ono thing ngalnst her something of which I have not told you. Through no fault of her own this poor girl Is ostracised. She Is the victim of social laws In whose making she had no share." "It's damnable I" snorted Applejohn, whose sympathies were thoroughly aroused. "What's her nnmo?" "Lizzie." "Llzzio what?" "I don't know," Jepson confessed. "She has sunk so low that she nppears to have' dropped her surname. And she never coinplnlns. She goes about her work smiling, cheerful, nnd happy as the day Is long." "How far does she live from here?" "About two miles." "Let's take a taxi," said Apple John, nnd while ho put on his over coat Jepson surveyed him with a cyni cal smile. In tho taxi Applejohn turned to his friend and said: "Say, this Isn't one of your infer nal practical Jokes, Is lt, Jepson?"
