Washington, D. C., Oct. 10.—
■ Department of Agriculture

Hie boil worm is the larva of

Beetles- The worm when
B hatched is very tiny, but
B$ rapidly, becoming finally

Bertheless, a farmer can in
fe the crop of the coming sea
h comparatively little trouble

mid be taken wherever injury
; occurred this year is to pick
cotton as quickly as possible
1 immediately thereafter to
w and harrow the fields. This
rk will result in the destruc
n of the immature stages of
i worm which have passed just
leath the surface of the soil,
addition to the effect in de
oying the insect the plowing

preparing for the crop of the

YOM KIPPUR WILL
BEGIN AT SUNSET
Day of Atonement Is Holiest in
the Calendar of the Jew
ish Church.
Yom Kippur, or the Day of
Atonement, the holiest day in
the Jewish calendar, will be inau
gurated at sunset today. Yom
Kippur will end at sunset tomor
row for the Reformed Jews,
while the Orthodox Jews observe
two days.
I The origin and purpose of
Yom Kippur is thus explained in
a paper prepared by the Central
Conference of American Rabbis:
The Day of Atonement is the
holiest in the Jewish calendar.
This year it falls on Saturday,
the 11th of October. Its biblical
designation is Yom ha-Kippurim,
later shortened to Yom Kippur.
According to Biblical tradition
it is one of the cycle of holidays
instituted by Moses; for we
find it mentioned in Leviticus
23:26-32, in the list of holidays.
Its ceremonial is described in
Lev. 16, its sacrifices in Num
bers 29 ;7-ll.
However, the Day of Atone
ment is not dependent on the
sacrificial service prescribed in
the Bible. Thus, after the de
Q+rnr»Hnn tV»p fprrmlp in flip
year 70, when sacrifices were
abolished, the Day of Atonement
was able to survive, and of all
holidays of the Jewish calendar
it has most completely held its
own in the hearts and observ
ance of the Jewish people. Em
phasis was laid upon confession,
penitence, prayer and good
deeds. It became the day of “af
flicting one’s soul” (Isaiah 58:8,
5) which was interpreted as
meaning fasting from the eve of
Atonement until the following
evening. As in the Biblical cere
monial, confession continues to
be an important feature of the
service; yet, while confession
brings forgiveness of sins be
tween man and his Maker, sins
between man and man are not
forgiven until redress is made
for the injury. The eve of
Atonement Day, therefore, be
comes the occasion for the cessa
tion of feuds and ill will. And
the Day of Atonement is known
as the Sabbath of Sabbaths—
when we are at peace with all the
world.
“The service of the Day of
Atonement beginning with Kil
Nidre service on the eve of
Atonement is a continuous one
throughout the entire day. The
prayers in the synagogues are
intoned in plaintive, penitential
tones. The spirit of the master
ly sermon of Isaiah (Isaiah 51:
4-9), which is the prophetical
portion of the morning reading,
is manifested throughout.

BOB GREEN
FATALLY WOUNDED
--
By S. F. Johnson at Paroquet
Who Is Reported To Have
Been Justified.
1
Bob Green was shot and
probably fatally wounded by
S. F. Johnson Wednesday af
ternoon at Paroquet, says the
Newark Journal.
Green had done some work for
Johnson, and they had some
slight trouble over a settlement
'for the work. This was several
days ago, and Green is said to
have chased Johnson into the
store with a brick. Later, how
ever, they succeeded in making
an amicable settlement, and
Johnson says he expected - no
further trouble.
Green went to Newport Wed
nesday morning and returned
Jon the local pretty well tanked
: up. He lives near Johnson, and
a short time after returning
• home he went over into John
j son’s horse lot and renewed the
|trouble, and it is said, fired two'
| shots at Johnson, although this
• i i i
is ucmeu u\ sun it:.
I
| Johnson secured his shotgun
and shot Green, the load enter
ing the left side of his head and
face. Green was still alive at
noon Thursday, but it is said
that there is no chance for his
recovery.
Johnson surrendered to the of
ficers and came to Newark and
appeared before ’Squire A. H.
Saylors and asked to be permit
ted to give bond. Bond was fix
ed at $1,000, which he gave for
i his appearance before ’Sqirire
Saylors for preliminary trial on
Saturday.
Both men are married and
have families.
Johnson is well known in New
port and enjoys an excellent rep
utation as being an intelligent
and thrifty farmer of amiable
disposition and good character, ]
! whose friends here are loth to
believe that he was at fault in
'this trouble, but think that it
j was forced upon him in defend
, ing his life.
! Athletics Now Have Three
i In the fourth game of the
, world’s series, the Athletics
j seized another from the Giants
! and pushed their chances for the
world’s championship to within
one game of the coveted goal as
Philadelphia has now won three
and New York but one.
Demaree for the Giants was
routed in the fifth and Marquard
held the American sluggers run
less in the three final innings,
while the Nationals pounced up
on Bender’s offerings in the sev
enth and eighth for a total of
five runs. Mack’s men played er
rorless ball behind the Indian,
who has now won two of the
Athletics victories.

Four Companies Discharged.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock. Oct. 10.—As a re
sult of the recent inspection of
the Arkansas State Guard, four
companies of the militia have
been recommended for discharge
b.v Captain A. B. Sloan inspector
instructor, and the War Depart
ment several days ago sent or
ders to headquarters in Little
Rock for them to be mustered
out of the service.
The companies affected are:
Piggott, Company L, First Reg
iment ; Black Rock, Company E,
First Regiment; Heber Springs,
Company I, of the Second Regi
ment ; Eureka Springs, Company
If of the Second Regiment. They
are already being mustered out.
but it is possible that some of
them may re-organize.
This action was taken by the
War Department on account of
the fact that the companies did
not come up to the requirements i
set by the government for the
National Guard, especially in
the matter of caring for the
property. The dropping of these
companies leaves eighteen in i
the organization but there are
a number of other places apply
ing for enlistment that will soon
fill the full quota of the two reg
iments.
“Religion and Patriotism.”
All real liberty as well as ev-;
ery true democracy is the pro
duct of evangelical religion. De- j
stroy evangelical religion in our
nation, and we will soon be num
bered with the nations that for- .
got God and are known to men
only from the pages of history.
God in His love and wisdom has '
chosen our nation to be the home
of liberty. This is shown in His ,
directing our forefathers who ;
were persecuted at home, to this
land, where they were to build ,
this glorious nation by their re
ligious zeal. Back in Germany
and England and other countries
God had by special Providences
protected the Anglo-Saxons even
in their growth to a great race,
the greatest in the world, from
the blight of Islam and from the
curse of Roman Catholicism. In
the defeat of the former by
Charles Martel after it had taken
Spain and carried its way into
the heart of France, God by al
most a miracle saved England
from its ruin. In the success of
Protestantism in England and
in the destruction of the “Invin
cible Armada” of Phillip, a fleet
of three hundred and sixty ves
sels by the English fleet of thir
ty-four, God again worked a
miracle and saved liberty from
being strangled in its infancy,
and our country from being set
tled under Roman Catholic m
fluences.
So in the discovery and colon
ization of America God was op
eningthe way for the Anglo
Saxon people, imbued wit
spirit of the evangelical gospel,
to become a great nation. r
j F. Love says: “A continent
would be needed for the people
who would be most affected bt
modern learning, who would c<>
! most to carry it forth toward its
fulfilment and best exemplify its
spirit. The Anglo-Saxon race
and evangelical religion mus
have unfettered opportunity t
benefit by all these and to find
a free and full expression undei
their inspiration. Hence m
the fulness of time, had come a
new land arose out of the sea to
serve as a bulwark and reserve
for the age reformation
The student of history i*s
blind who fails to see that (iod
has a great purpose in the build
ing of our nation and that pur
pose is to be the apostle of lib
erty to the nations of earth.
And may I say here that that
purpose can be carried out only
so far as we live up to the prin
ciples o fthe evangelical gospel.
Our nation shall fail or succeed
inin proportion as she fails or
succeeds in cann ing the gospel
to the world.
The founders of our nation
realized that only as our people
were true to the principles of
the evangelical gospel, would
this nation succeed. Hear the
words of the great Washington
in a circular letter issued to the
governors of the thirteen states
from Newburg in 3 7815. ”1 now
make it my earnest prayer, that
(Iod would have you and the
state over which you preside in
His Holy protection, and final
ly that He would most gracious
ly be'pleased to dispose all to do j
justice, to love mercy, humanity j
and pacify temper of mind,
which were the characteristics
of the Divine Author of our!
blessed religion, without our i
humble imitation of which ex
ample in these things we can
never hope to be a happy na
tion.” In his farewell address
he said: “Of all the disposi
tions and habits which lead to
social prosperity, religion and
morality are indispensable sup
ports. In vain would t1 t man
claim the tribute of patriotism i
who would labor to subvert the
great pillars of human happi
ness.” Then we must realize that
“the question affecting our na
tional greatness is not how big
the nation is going to be, how
rich nor how powerful, but
how virtuous, how true. Neith
er the census report nor 1h
port table is the criterion of
our greatness, but the state of
preservation among us of those
principles and pillars ot the re
public which make charactm
and on which 0111 institutions
;>iv built."
the re arc >ome tilings which
every man who loves his country
and his home must oppose, a
mmig them are, "the liquor busi
ness'—in which the nation is
a partner in its own rum and
sells the manhood o| it-' citizens
for revenue; the divorce evil—
the nation's social scandal; the
white slave trathe 'he world’s
disgrace: murder in which mu
nation leads the world; graft,
bribery and ballot box fraud
t he barter of thieves in the priv
ileges of our freedom.
Liberty does not mean license;
Democracy does not give anyone
tin* liberty to do anything which
will certainly harm an inno
cent fellow citizen. A democra
cy is the collossus of civil evils
if the people be degraded. There
fore only evangelical religion
can establish and maintain a true
Democracy.
