WAR ON MOTH is
STARTED BY DAVIS
Government Man Makes Tour
of Part of the Country and
Collects Samples of Insects
For Further Analysis.

John J. Davis Of the department Of
agriculture and John 5. Bordner
county agent. began their county wide
search and investigation Thursday of
the insect moth which has destroyed
hundreds of acres of alfalfa and other
crops over st. Joseph county.
The insect is not unknown to this
vicinity and it is only the extreme
peculiar climatic conditions which
have caused it to be so troublesome
this season, if the first opinion Of Mr..
Davis is correct.
A large number Of the tiny offend
ers were bottled up, and taken back
to Lafayette, the headquarters OF the
department man. Davis was COM
PEELED to leave the city, but will re-
turn in about 10 days to complete the
investigation. He expects TO analyze
the insects which he took with him
and will be able, he thinks, TO give
the farmers some valuable tntorma-
ton when he returns.
1t was learned in the tour over the
northeastern part of the county, made
by the two agriculture men that the
insect was not only damaging alfal-
IA but every produce on the farm ex-
cept potatoes and tomatoes. Alfalfa
was damaged the worst but all were
afflicted to some extent.
The hot dry season which has aided
Matching conditions, and the moder-
ate winter are two of the chief rea-
sons according to Bordner for the in
sects being so numerous. He said that
the farmers need not worry about the
pest doing much damage another
year as climatic conditions may not be
the same again in a number of years.

COMMITTEE SIGNS
TREATY OF PEACE
Joint Meeting of Representa-
tiveS of Republican and Bull
Moose Parties Agree to En-
ter City Campaign United.

Committees representing the repub-
lican and bull moose parties held a
meeting Thursday evening in the Of
fees Of Atty. r. II. Jernegan. The
press was barred from the meeting
and all that could be learned of the
proceedings was Incorporated in a
report passed by the joint committee.
The report follows: AT a joint meet
ing of the specially appointed COM
mittees of 10 each from the progress
sive and republican parties held last
evening in the office of Atty. Ralph
II. Jernegan it was decided TO report
back to their respective organizations
that il was the unanimous decision Of
the united committee that party lines
be set aside IN the coming city cleo
ton, and that their support be given
TO an independent ticket"
From the tenor OF this report it
would seem that the two parties are
settled 10 unite in the coming city
campaign. There has been quite a bit
of talk Of dissension in both parties
and OF prominent men on both sides
ton of the committee seems TO be
that there will be an independent
ticket in the field.
This, Of course. would not exclude
a progressive and a republican ticket
and many still believe that there will
be tickets representing both of these
parties besides the so-called citizens
ticket.
The personnel of the joint commit
tee that framed the report Thursday
evening was as follows:
Republican-Hon. +. A. Jernegan,
chairman; Justice Hiram Hunt.
George Futterknecht, G. f. Bradley.
e. ]. w. Fink, J. Alvin Scott, Daniel
r. Day, George Sandilands, Willard
Kerr
S. Feig, Hon. George G. Clark; a. y.
Warner. Henry c. Eggleston, Walter
Michael. James Nettleton, William
Peiffer. w. II. Upper and w. ]. Ches-
bro.
The Tribune is regarded as the or
gan for the citizens ticket when the
latter is born and this paper Thurs
day announced that in all probability
the mayOralty nominee of the COM
promise party would be former Sher-
if Willard Kerr or Ralph Gaylor. OF
course there was no way of aScer-
tanning whether candidates were
talked OF at Thursdays meeting but
AZ is believed that this matter did not
come up. The general impression
about town is, however, that the
fusion men will settle upon Gaylor to
lead their ticket.
The above report will be returned
to a meeting of both republican and
progressive parties to be held within
few days. The parties will prob
ably then hold a joint meeting to ar
range for the campaign.
