Fight BUGS WITH BUGS.
Plan Of the Agricultural Depart
ment 20 Annihllate
the Pests.

Hal d. Landon, In a Washington
special to the Cleveland Plain Dealer,
has the following that will be Of in
terest to Stark county farmers:
Elaborating the theory that "it takes
a thief to catch a thief" the agricul-
tural department is preparing to fight
hugs with other bugs. 1t is the San
Jose scale that the department is after,
and to exterminate this pest peculiar
species Of Chinese beetle will be usei.
The San Jose scale is so destructive Of
fruit trees that the Ohio legislature,
some years ago, proposed to make a
large appropriation for the application
determination. =
Since the San Jose scale slipped past
the immigrant inspectors and settled on
these hospitable shores, it has caused
the loss of millions OF dollars to the
fruit growers of the United States. Un-
til recently scientists have sought in
vain for some protection against fts
ravages. Now they have found the bug
that they believe will do the business.
1t is a remarkable Chinese beetle.
which Is said to eat the San Jose scale
so fast that that pestiferous insect has
no time to damage fruit trees. Uncle
Sans entomologists will ally them
selves with the newly discovered bug
in warfare against the much dreaded
San Jose scale. Fruit growers will be
delighted when they hear that the days
OF that insect are numbered.
G. l.. Marlette, an agent of the de-
partment of agriculture, Is returning
from China with specimens Of both
sexes Of the beetle. 1t will be prop
agated here and beetles will be sent ont
tn fruit growers all over the country.
It was a long search for. Mr.. Mar
lette before he found the hereditary
foe of the San Jose scale. In the north
ern provinces of China, beneath the
shadow of the great Chinese wall; in
the very heart of the Boxer region, he
finally found the beetle ensconced on
its native heath.
The determination of the scale is a
problem which has long confronted the
department.. The beetle was known to
exist, and it was common in Japan and
China. Mr.. Marlette was selected to
go to those countries. The beetle W as
found in Japan, but inquiry revealed
the fact that 1t was not native to the
island kingdom. Still hot on the trail
of the beetle Mr.. Marlette went tn
China, and after several months search
he found the insect.
If the plan outlined by the bureau OF
entomology works out as the depart
ment of agriculture officers think It
will, the discovery will prove one of
the highest importance. Secretary
Wilson will deal with 1t at length in
his annual report.

M M'KINLEY STATUE
Likely to Be Erected In CIeve-
land With Funds Remaining
From Encampment.

Cleveland, Nov. 18.-The trustees
who have charge OF the money remain
ing from the fund collected for the
Grand Army encampment will hold a
meeting in z. few days to pass upon the
recommendalhns of the encampment
executive coxmSttee and the committee
of 100 citizens that the $4,000 be used
in the erection of a suitable bronze
monument Of President Mckinley in
the public square. 1t is generally un-
derstood that the trustees will accept
the recommendations and erect the
monument.
There is, however said to be some
objection to the recommendations
Certain people believe that the $4,000
ought to be turned over to the Ma
tional Mckinley Memorial association
for the purpose of assisting in the
erection of the great memorial over the
murdered presidents grave at Canton
II is claimed that several other cities
in Ohio, including Cincinnati and To.
ledo, have been putting their subscrip-
tions into local funds to erect monu-
ments in their respective towns, thus
dissipating the subscriptions to the
National Mckinley association. These
cities, however, have given up theil
projects for local monuments and have
agreed to assist the Canton memorial
Certain men in Cleveland are desir.
GUS that the surplus fund Of the Grant
Army committee shall go the samt
way. It is learned that a majority Of
the trustees favor carrying out the
recommendations adopted in the reso
luton of Saturday night, when the
committee of 100 held Its hnal meeting
they say they cannot ignore the ac
ton of both committees. even II 1t wert
desirable to give the money to ths
Canton memorial.

For Dedication OF New
Mckinley Hall.
PEOPLE
VIII 30 Present - Governor
Nash Will 8e the STAR
But Short Time For
Preparation.

Massillon, Nov. Is.
The date for the dedication of the
new Mckinley hall at the state hospi-
tai has been set for December 10. A
communication was received from Gov
ernor Nash on Saturday by DR.. Ey-
man stating that the date above men
toned would be convenient and DR..
Lyman Immediately replied confirm
ing that date. .l
Arrangements for the dedication will
be begun at once. The program will
be made out and the hall will be decor
ated. AS the date set will be four days
after the date on which the fixtures
for the electric lights to be placed
in the new hall will arrive at the in
stitution, 1t will be possible for Frank
EdlemaR, chief electrician at the insti-
tuition, to have all Of the fixtures in
place by the evening Of the dedication
on December 1S. "
The board Of trustees of the insti-
tuition viii, be present and a number of
other men from different parts of the
state who are prominent in state char
ity circles. General Roeliff Brinker-
hoff, of Mansfield, who is a personal
friend of DR.. Eynan and who has
been connected with both the state
and national charity boards for many
years, will also be present
1t was due to the strenuous efforts
Of Gen. Brinkerhoff that what is
known as the Ohio State Reformatory
was erected and it was due to the fact
that Mansfield was his home that the
institution was located in that city as
compliment to his efforts in behalf
of its erection.
1t was. announced in a daily paper
in Massillon that after the exercises
incident to the dedication of the new
hall that Or. Eyman would give a
public reception for Gov. Nash. Itwas
learned that DR.. Eyman has as yet
made no definite plans to that effect
and that should reception be given
by him for the governor it will be
an invitation affair, as his residence
would be entirely too small tos ac-
commodate the large number of fspsOple
who would attend should the srecep-
tion be for the public. An impromptu
reception, however, will probably be
held in the hall after the dedication
exercises are over, at which the general
public will be given an opportunity to
shake hands with and talk to the gov
ernor

During the past three weeks the
s-Democrat, through correspon l.
ence and through its editorial columns,
has insisted that the state authorities
do something in the way of making an
effort to detect the robbers that are
making ahe state notorious, and bring
them to Justice. Other papers have
since taken the matter up, and the
Ohio State Journal, Friday, had a
strong editorial calling upon the state
authorities to act at once. The ad-
vice is most timely.

Mayor Tom johnson, of Cleveland,
has filed mandamus proceedings and is
going after the state board Of eQuali-
zation in proper fashion. He thinks
the railroads of the state are not pay
ing their Just share Of taxation AMI
he is willing to go forward and demon
strate that fact, no matter IL the board
is adverse to seeing what the real fact
Is. There is no question but politics
entered into the action Of the board In
refusing to advance valuations. even
after the truth had been plainly set
forth. 1t was shown that in compar-
ison with other states, notably Indiana,
Ohio was getting q ridiculously low
amount from the railroads. while tay-
ing the farmer, the small business man
and the working man, who owns mis-
own home, at a rate that approaches;
the limit of endurance. During the
recent campaign Mayor Johnson stay
ed at home, talked taxation and carried
Cleveland. Others went abroad, talk
ed war issues, the tariff expansion a1l
other things, and went down to defeat
as a whole. The action against the
state board will serve to aid in educa5-
ing the people Of the whole state. 1t
is public matter. 1t is an issue. II
has, also, what some other issues Nat
the Democrats have recently exploit
ed, lack the desirable condition of be
ing alive.

her, on two occasions. That he has
often, without any Justification or
cause therefor, accused the plaintiff
OF trying to ALLEVIATE the affections of

grievously wounded plaintiffs feelings,
causing her great bodily and mental
stress and suffering, and substantially
destroying the legitimate ends and OBJ
