NORTH FIR' STREET
When King George started out to sub
due hit rebellious tubjectt in America he
did not rely wholly upon the regular
troopt of the English army. Several of
email principalitiet of Germany contained
toldiert which they hired out to neighbor
ing nationt. much at slave holders of the
south uted to rent their negroet for the
teason to surrounding planters. From
Hesse King George procured lot of these
hirelings which were loaded on board ship
and sent across the Atlantic to prevent
American farmers from obtaining their
liberty. It was bad enough for these
Hessians to come over here and kill men
for aspiring to freedom, but the curse of
their coming did not stop with this crime
against civilization. As bedding for their
animajs they brought over a lot of
straw in which was hidden an enemy
far worse than the hireling soldiery
and one destined to . confer up
on the detested name of Hessian an im
mortality of infamy. It was the larvae
of a fly which, first hatched on Long
I Island, was to spread to every part of
the American continent and afflict count
less genarationsof grain growers.. It was
one hundred and twenty-five years ago
that this pest was first noticed, but since
then millions of farmers have become ac
quainted with it, to their sorrow in every
section of. this country. Long after the
Hessian soldiers had been killed or sent
back home, their namesake continued by
ts ravages to make it impossible for any

DROPPED DEAD IN CHURCH
Mrs. W. O. Forbes, one of he most
prominent Presbyterian church workers
in the city, dropped dead this afternoon
from heart disease, just as Dr. Hill be

First Presbyterian Church for Kenneth
Mackenzie. '
She was the wife of Rev. W. O. Forbes
Presbyterian missionary, formerly ol
Forbes church, and had a host of friends
here, who will be shocked at the news of
her sudden death.
Dr. Hill was uttering the words af the
text, "Boast not thyself of the morrow.
for thcu knowest not what a day will
bring forth," when Mrs. Forbes wss.tesn
to stagger. She placed her hand over
her heart and then tank back in her pew

wheat farmers to forget the odious mem
ory of King George's hirelings.
Ill things grow rapid'y and spread wide'
ly. For a time conlned to the Atlantic
seaboard, the Hessian fly spfean with the
progress of development and followed the
plow and harrow to every point where
wheat was grown in the west north and
south. If a court of arbitration should
assess damages against the English gov
ernment for all the less caused by its im
ported nuisance, the Alabama award and
the Freneh indemnity ,. to Germany
would sink into insignfleince. All the
wealth of England would not be able to
pay the debt Many timss it has com
pletely destroyed the growing wheat
1 certain sections and the average loss .t
now causes is about 40.000,000 bushels
annually or about seven per cent of the
total crop. In spite of the best efforts of
our scientists and the farmers who act
on their advice, this pest got beyond con
trol during the season of four years ago
and destroyed fully 80 per cent of the
crop in tne infested region, witn a re
sultant loss of nearly $40,000,000. How
large are the results from apparently
insignificant causes, Had the thickhead
ed Hessians been content to bring over
their unwiedly bodies, leaving their straw
behind, wa should perhaps have escap d
the ravages of this earliest and worst cf
all the crop enemies that have afflicted
the industrious farmers of America.
