REV. N. {. WEBB
TO GRADUATES
South Amboy High School
at M. P. Church.
Special to tie EVENING VIEWS.

South Amboy, June 26:-The
graduates of the high school assem-
bled at the Methodist Protestant
church last evening to listen to the
baccalaureate sermon preached by
Rev. N. e. Webb. The church was
filled to the utmost, chairs being
placed In the aisles. Seats were re-
served in front right hand side of
the church which we're occupied by
the graduating class of thirteen
young ladies and gentlemen, present
Ing a very pleasing appearance. The
devotional exercises were as follows:
A short song service by the choir,
opening hymn, followed by the open
ing prayer by R. P. Mason, ST., a
duet by Mrs. English and Miss James,
notices and collection, singing Of a
hymn by the choir, a continuation of
service by the singing of a hymn by
the congregation followed by the SER
mon. Mr.. Webb's subject for the oc-
casion was Duty" which was
brought before the class and congre-
cation In a most effective manner
Should the advice given on this oc-
casion be needed by class and con
gregation, the community no doubt
In which each one is located would
be benefited thereby.
At the close of the sermon the
choir rendered a beautiful selection
followed by the closing hymn and
benediction, thus ending all services
attending the graduation of the class
of 1911. Some Of the class will en-
ter more advanced institutions Of
learning to prepare them for their
life work, while perhaps others will
take up their life work at this point.
May all win success in the exercise
of their class motto, and by their eff
forts rise if not in distinction, may
it be in usefulness in the sphere in
which they move.

that suffers. This pest, familiar 70
those who grow cucumber plants un-

worm with shiny. black head, and
measures not more than a quarter Of
an inch. 1t liz in the soil amens
the roots Of the new plants. Its Gus
tom Is to gnaw the rootlets. After Q
plant Is attacked 1t makes little or no
new growth and In Its sickly condi-
ton produces few II any cucumbers.
The leaves turn brown and the plants
wilt In the sun.
The adult of this worm Is known
as the fungus gnat. 1t II very
small fly and lays its eggs In fresh
horse manure. 1t is through the fresh
manure that these pests are introduced
into greenhouses. The use Of old
manure rather than fresh win keep
them out. Should they appear. water
In which tobacco has been soaked

the affected plants.
Certain cucumbers seem to be Inn
