 The Methodist people will begin the building of a new church on the cor ner of Chestnut and Fourth streets in about 30 days If they can make ready for the work. As there are more than 600 members in this church and a largs Sunday school. too, 1t will be necessary to erect large adifice to accommodate the membership.

BARN BURNER IN JAIL.
COTS Man Loses Three Barns by Fire
-BIOOdhounds Used

Frankfort, Kan, June 14.-The man
who is supposed to have set fire to
Mart Garvin's barn near COTS. is now
in the Seneca Jail. Mr.. Garvin has
lost three barns by fire in the past
three years. Each time it was sup
posed that the barn had been set on
fire When his new barn burned last
Thursday night, he had ropes stretch
ed about the place to keep everyone
away, and then sent for the blood
hounds at Beatrice. The dogs arrived
there the next afternoon and imme-
diately took up trail and followed it
to corn field where a man named
Hittle was blowing. Here the dogs
stopped and looked up into the mans
face. He was arrested and taken to
Seneca The feeling was pretty strong
against him and 1t is said there might
have been some violence had not the
sheriff succeeded in spiriting the man
away when he did.

Leavenworth, June 14.-No anthem
tic information about the disappear
ance of Gilbert Edwards, the young
man who left his home on farm
near Hampton, Platte county, MO-,
has been found yet. A stranger told
residents in the neighborhood OF
Smithville, he had seen man an
swering the description of young Ed
wards walking along the road two
miles east of Smithville.
The young man left his mother IN
the house soon after breakfast, telling
her he was going to the field to repair
the binder. His father, Walter Ed
wards, was in Kansas City, and had
said he wanted to begin cutting wheat
when he returned. Mrs. Edwards saw
her son go past the barn and into the
pasture. Since then he has not been
seen.
The mother is Frustrated and in a
serious condition.
One theory advanced by Sheriff
Perry is that the heat may have caus-
ed a temporary mental arrangement
While in that condition young Ed
wards may have wandered away.

ton, when he discovered the other car
ahead swung into the hedge, to avoid
a possible collision, and it seems Bur-

BILL BUG HITS CORN.
K. s. A. @. Bugologists Find New Pest
of Farmers.

K. S. A. @. Bugologists Find New Pest
of Farmers.
Manhattan, Kan, June 1.-THE
"Bill Bug you've heard about recent
~ in the corn is really the same bug
farmers have contended against for
years. 1t has been variously called
"Bill Bug" or Elephant Bug
DR.. T. J. Headlee, state entomolo-
gist at the agricultural college. the
bug expert of Kansas, says the Bill
beetle from a quarter to one inch
in length.
Already the reports of bill-bug
trouble have begun to come in and
will continue to do so until near the
end of June. They come mainly
from eastern Kansas-the smaller
species from the northeast, extreme
east and extreme southeast, and the
larger fro unlimited areas including
the counties of ChautauQua, Cowley,
Elk, Greenwood, Labette, Marion,
Montgomery, Neosho and the neigh
boring territory.
Treatment for bi1l-bugs may be d.
vided into those measures which may
be used after the corn is up and the
which should be taken when decid-
ing whether given field shall be de-
voted to corn.
The first type of treatment consists
of replanting the taken corn until the
bilI-bugs quit working on it, which
is usually about the first of June. and
of devoting the land to another and
later crop. This is for upland only.
The second type of treatment con-
sists in blowing the sod land intend
ed for corn during September in or
der that the adult bill-bugs may hunt
