BUSINESS PROGRESSES

The Liberty Cow Mixer company is
going along nicely, the directors hav-
ing for some time past followed a poll
cy of experimenting and improving.
There is a big demand for the ma

made to put 1t on the market until it
is perfect. AS 1t is the machine is
practical, but some defects are still to
be overcome, os that the machines that
are sent out. viii lnot need constant
supervision. The company is satisfied
that it has the right principle and once
the machine is perfected there will be

The contractors of Gary and vicinity
journeyed to Hammond last night for
the purpose of doing a little mission
ary work. AS a result the scope of the
Contractors and Material Employers
association of Gary and vicinity has
been enlarged to include every con-
tractor and material man in Lake coun-
ty.
The meeting last night was held at
Weis' hall and was attended by be-
tween SO and 200 contractors and ma
terial men. The hall was crowded and
the spirit of the meeting may be judged
from the fact that there was continual
applause.
There were a large number of new
members taken in until now the mem
bership of the association includes
practically threefourths of the con-
tractors and material men of Lake
county.
Proceedings secret
The meeting was secret and every
member is pledged to keep the pro-
ceedings of the meetings to them
selves. However, one of those present
volunteered a statement for publica-
tion, which will give the general public
an idea of the purposes of the new

Setting a Bug to Catch a Bug,

Samuel Hopkins Adams makes the sub
ject of entomology a very absorbing and
interesting one in the July American
Magazine. He writes under the title OF
''Warring on Injurious Insects and de-
scribes the work Of the Washington Blu
reau OF Entomology and some OF the
curious and interesting methods II en-
ploys to stop the predatory work Of in
furious insects. The following is Mr..
Adams's account of how the San Jose
scale was imported into this country and
how eventually it's spread was checked;
THE scale was imported by collector
Of plants at San Jose, Cal, probably from
Australia. In a few years it had spread
enormously, and was simply wiping out
the orange crop wherever II gained
foothold Working in conjunction with
the progressive state authorities of Cali
fornia, the United States Bureau OF En-
tomology sent an emissary to Australia,
where the scale was discovered in what
was then supposed 10 be its original en-
vlronment. With the Australian scale,
and preying upon its eggs, was found a
small red-and- black ladybird, the Novius
cardinals. One hundred of these were
| brought back TO California by Mr.
\ Kobele, bred and distributed. To the ter
rifed and skeptical orange growers the
result must have seemed miraculous
| Within two years from the time when the
| first ladybird began to breakfast on scale
| eggs, the victory was completely won. II
| was more than a victory; 1t was slaugh-
| ter. Since then the white scale, while Il
is not wholly eliminated and never will
! be, has ceased TO be an element OF peri
to the citrus orchards OF California"

unavoidable delay on the part Of the man
