Uncle Sam is throwing colonels, majors, and captains out of his army t<> make room for more of them. When Congress last month looked o er the army’s list of officers, preparatory to making appropriations for H eir pay it found that there were less tl an a hundred second lieutenants in the army, while there were thousands of officers of higher grades. So it decided that the Army could f t along without a few of the upper g ades, Iml nebded more “shavetails." It accordingly pared down the authori. d numbers of colonels, majors, captains, and first lieutenants and called on the Army to commission more seconds, for a grand total of 12,000 offi- < rs for the entire army. Thg War Department has just ap j inte.l a “plucking board” of live gen ■ < als to go over the record of every o'llcer in the army to see who shall . Im released to make room for the req tired amount of second, lieutenants. ■ 1 has designated the number of of- : fl Irs in each grade who must be rebased. The board s selection'must be : 11 ade, and the officers picked be reii ased, before December 15. In the meantime, examinations are lining held at various points of the country in search for second liyuien- . >ts. Approximately If.on must b found to bring their strength up to the number required by Congress. > When the proce s is completed, the upper ranks reduced, and the second “looies” inducted into the service. Uncle Sam's army of 125,000 men will be officered by one general, 21 major generals, 46 brigadier generals, 420 colonels, 577 lieutenant, colonels, 1,575 majors, 3.150 captains, ”.976 first lieutenants and 1,771 second lieutenants, al! officers of the line, and 1,477 offi ers of all ranks in other branches, sfeb as the Medical, Dental and Veterinary Corps. MINER TRIAL TO BE RESUMED AT CHARLESTOWN Charlestown. W. Va., Aug. s—Preparations for the resumption of tho famous Charlestown mine trials are under way today. John Wilburn, sen of Rev. James E. Wilburn, recently convicted of murder in the second degree in connection with the aimed march on Logan faces trial August 7. Two other sons are also to go to trial. One of them, Frank, is now in jail here. The Wilburns, father and sons are alleged to have been in tho party of 40 or 50 armed mon which met and killed Deputy Sheriff John Gore and two of his aides. Gore bad mistaken Hie party for friends, according to Attorney John Chafin, of Logan county. Tiie union men demanded the password which was in vogue among the miners at that time. Still thinking tiie men./belonged to the state side, Gore replied, “Amen.” and fell with a bullet in his heart. While Judge IL 1). Baily, in Wil liamsoa, Mitfgo county, recently, notified cases involving several officials anti i.icmbera of Hie United Mine workers of America, these had nothing to <lq with the Charlestown trials. Tho case ot Waller Allen, charged with treason will be taken up after the Wilburn trial. Allen is a union official of Dry Branch, Kanawha county. He is alleged to be one of Hie chief aides to the “general" of the march. o I. W. Macy of South Bend, arrived in this city today for a week-end visit I with relative;:.

Ixifayette, Ind.. Aug. 5. —A con feriztee was held at Danville, Illinois. August Ist by representatives ot the Crops and Entomology Department; of the Illinois and Indiana Expei'imen Stations to consider the Chinch bup situation and the relation of cropping methods to control. The two states w re represented by J. C. Hackleman ■n d W. P. Flint, of Hie Crops ami En lemology Departments, respectively. i the Illinois Agricilltui'al Experiment Station and W. A. Ostrander and J. J. Davis of tho Crops and Entomogy Departments, respectively of the Purdue Agricultural Experiment Sta tion. Chinch bugs have been increasing in abundance and tiie area of infestation enlarging in Illinois and Indiana, and the present indications art that tho bugs will continue to be

abundant. Farmers in certain areas are discussing cropping problems in relation to chinch bug control, particular ly the advisability of limiting the u reages of small grains. It was th? opinion of those who have been study ing the chinch bug problem that it is unpractical to eliminate the growing :>f wheat, this opinion being based on observations where such practices have been attempted in areas previously infested. On the other hand, barley is more susceptible to infesta tion and is always more severely in jured and therefore where chinch hugs are abundant it is unwise to , continue growing barley. It was igreed that reducting the growing ol grass crops to a practical minimum . and increasing the legume acreage would have a marked influence on , chinch bug control in the future. 'n the infested areas in Illinois ■ the growing of resistant strains of corn lias given good results and is - strongly recommended there. The tact that 90 per cent of the chinch bugs hibernate in protected places, such as along the south and west slopes of hedges and fence rows, ditch banks and woodlots, makes it desirable that farmers kill as many of the bugs and remove the winter pro lection but burning over such places between November Ist and April Ist, but especially during the month of November when by far the best remits can be secured. Furthermore, that burning must be adopted as a .immunity proposition since bugs may imigrate a didance of several miles when they leave their winter quarters in the spring.
