The clean-up day was a success ,
was Inaugurated by the Ad clu
whoso committee had more than the
could handle. "I never know the :
were BO many tin cans In the world
says ono of the committee , who n
rlvcd at the Norfolk avenue can st
tlon a llttlo late. On the Saltier 1
at this station a mob of small bo ;
with caiiB of all descriptions wo
waiting for almost an hour for tl
committee.
From an Infection of the cans ai
their great number It was made an e
tabllshcd fact that a canning compai
would do a rushing business lu Ni :
folk.
folk.The
The first boys to arrive with cai
this morning were James Leonard ai
1'oter Oraham. They went Into tl
business as "partners. " Their llr
delivery of cans numbered over sovi
dozen. Later they brought mat
more. Llko other boys , they ha' '
been busy collecting the cans ovi
since the announcement of the /
club's Intention to clean-up the city.
So anxious wore the early arrlva
with cans at the Norfolk avenue st
tlon , to receive tholr money , and r
turn for further work , that they b
came excltod at the non-appearance
the committee. For some time
looked as If the youthful business me
would start a riot. Ono business mi
became alarmed and kept the tel
phone busy in efforts to hurry aloi
the arrival of the committee.
At the Junction station the san
sight could bo seen and the cans
South Norfolk were well cleaned u
Chairman George Dudley of the clea
up committee of the Ad club made li
llrst visit to the Junction station at
o'clock this morning. Rev. Geori
Conrad of South Norfolk waa In char ;
of that station and Chairman Dudl
found the minister with his han
full of strenuous work.
"From every direction , " says t
chairman , "boys wore coming wi
loads of tin cans. They had thorn
small wagons , sacks , wheel barrov
and every other kind of conveyance
At noon Ilev. D. C. Colegrovo ,
charge of the Norfolk avenue static
had exhausted his supply of nion
and Master Joseph Willey was sent
special messenger to the office of t
treasurer of the Ad club for mo
money. A check came and Mast
Willey soon came back with his po <
ets bulging out with pennies. Ov
100 boys stood waiting In line , so :
plying the minister with many
quests , such as :
"Mr. Colegrove , I've counted min
I have thirty dozen. Can I dui
them ? "
"You will have to wait until t
money comes , boys ; I am all out of
now , " was the usual reply Mr. Co
grove gave.
This reference to the exhaustion
money seemed to relieve the conm
teeman's predicament , and the clei
ers of the city settled down to coi
their cans. Immediately upon the
rival of Master Willey with the n
essary funds Mr. Colegrove was agi
besieged with requests from aim
every boy , who wanted his cans cou
ed first. Every boy had from four
thirty dozen cans.
Many citizens visited the Norf
avenue station and commented fav
ably upon the first official work of i
Ad club. It was officially eslima
this afternoon that there were atle
15,000 cans in the Norfolk avenue i
and almost half that number at
Junction.
G. D. Smith , who visited the K
folk avenue station in the early p
of today's clean-up campaign , has
fered an "Ice cream" treat to ev
uoy bringing at least thirty dozen c :
to either the Junction or Norfolk
enue stations. He little realized tl
that there would be so many c ;
found in the city. There will bo
least fifty boys bringing in that m
lor of cans. The "treat" will bo gl
some time this afternoon and Mr. C <
grove has already a largo list of b
whose names will come under

Army Worms Destroy Corn.
About 100 acres of corn in this v
cinity have been destroyed within Hi
past Ihree weeks by army worms , con
monly known as "cul worms. "
This is the report brought to tt
city today by farmers living south <
Norfolk. Many of the farmers are r
planting corn for Ihe Ihlrd lime , an
one farmer , who has replanted aboi
fifteen acres two times , has given n
the planting and expects to starve 01
the pest.
Frank Tannehlll , one of Ihe suffe
ers from Iheso worms , declares ho
keeping plows at work continual !
"There are more planters running no
than there are plows , " he says. "Tl
corn should all be planted , but tl
army worms have destroyed mar
acres of corn In the vicinity of TT
farm. Many of the farmers arc bus
replanting. The worms seem to I
very thick. They cut the corn as soc
as it starts growing. "
Most of the corn is already up ar
is looking very good. Crops , gene
ally , are in good shape , but grass ar
hay need moisture.
Monday night's rain did not rcac
the vicinity six miles south of the cit
but the farmers there report a gee
soaking rain three days ago. Thci
local showers , they explain , are a for
cast of a dry year and they are pr
paring for it. For the protection
his corn from dryness , one farmer
using a scientific system of keepli
his corn field well plowed , for the pi
pose of retaining moisture.
Norfolk does not come under tl
head of the dryness in Nebraska. F
the second time this week rain f <
and moistened the ground locally ,
light rain fell this morning at about
o'clock. Reports from tclegra ]
sources do not give other localitl
credit with this rain. This mornlnt
rain , however , was very light.
Dry Spots In Nebraska.
Lincoln , June 7. Nebraska farme
and grain dealers are on uneasy se
this week. With sufficient rainfall
several sections of the state lacklr
and the continued hot weather , t
heretofore promising wheat crop
somewhat uncertain. The next thr
weeks are expected to tell the tale.
Reports from western Nebraska
dlcato that the rains early in the we
had greatly benefited the crops a
checked the effects of the drought.
dltional rains have not come , howov
and the heat Is again drying up t
fields. Several acres In the vicinity
Kearney are reported as "burned u ]
The same condition Is said to prov
in isolated areas in the central part
the state.
Southern Nebraska was greatly b <
efited by a heavy shower Sund
night. The fall was sufficient to i
a check to the drought in Gage a
adjoining counties , but it was far fr <
being a general rain.
Although early reports from neii
boring states Indicated that the win
crop would bo considerable later th
e usual this year , it Is more than pn
able that the crop In this state w
y bo as early or earlier than usual. 1
cal grain men expect the cutting
the crop to begin not later than t
last of June or the first of July. If t
present hot weather continues , tli
probability of an earlier harvest wl
liicreaso.
So far the farmers over the stat
have not yet started the annual cr
for harvest hands. A few application
from eastern points for Jobs in th
harvest fields have been received b
the deputy labor commissioner. Man
of the Nebraska harvest hands stai
to work in Oklahoma and work the
way north as the grain ripens.
