INSECT PESTS
CIRCUMVENTED
J. W. Baker Discovers Plan
to Avoid Bug Pests in
Vegetable Gardens

J. w. Baker, of the Baker Hard
ware Co., has discovered a way to
protect garden vegetables against in.
sect pests. The first year after the
west end fill was completed. Mr..
Baker spent much time and money
in an effort to raise a few vegetables
on his residence lot. The attempt
was not successful owing to the ac-
tivity of the bug family, which ate
up the young vegetables as fast as
they appeared.
Instead Of giving up, Mr.. Baker set
out to overcome the difficulty. Az
manufacturer of cheese in his
younger days in the east. he had
learned that if insects can be pre-
vented from depositing their larvae
on cheese there was no danger OF
wormy cheese. Acting on this
knowledge. Mr.. Baker began to
screen in small patches OF radishes
celery and atbage. In each instance
there was no further trouble, the
vegetables came up and matured and
results We're most satisfactory.
On accourr OF this experience, Mr.
Baker believes there is no further
excuse for anyone to give up garden.
ing on account Of insect pests. By
placing a maa.high screen around and
over the garden patch. large or
small. there vii, be no interference
with the on in tho garden.

day night by Deputy Sheriff Joe
Searles and Capt. X. Y. Church OF
the city police. The men arrested
are Mike Zeebeck, proprietor Of the
Mecca hotel, and Sam Arsoff, who
was stopping in the house. The ar.
rests were made after Earl France
manager of the Elma bank, ana
Rhodes Maxwell, a depositor, who
was present at the time of the rob.
berry, had gone to the Mecca cafe and
eaten a meal. They were there by
direction of the sheriff's Office to see

fed Zeebeck and Arsoff and the arrest
followed, the men being taken to the
city Jail, where they were held until
Deputy Sheriff Fitzgerald arrived

PrOpOrtfonate to population the
general fund. appropriations Of the
last legislature were only a trifle
IN excess of the same class of appro-
priations made at the first biennial
session. including in the latter case
the deficit that had to be provided
for In the appropriations act Of the
following session. The per capita
general fund expenditure Of 1891 was
$S.03, while the per capita appropria-
ton of the 1913 legislature was $6.51,
or an increase Of only 48 cents per
Individual in the state for 23 years
OF growth.

to say in 1899, to have been $319.
curiosity is piqued. Why this varia-
ton? And why this lack of progress.
sive increase Of general fund expend.
itures commensurate with the in.
crease OF population and wealth?
The answer will be found In the
fact that within the general fund lin.
ttation of resources the inventions of
newer government and the demands
OF influential lobbies TN the legisla-
ture could not be provided for. Hence
the special fund resources created by
direct state tax levies.
The simple truth is that to the two
state tax funds Of 1890. general and
military, have been added eight; and
that the sum Of appropriations made
for the state in 1891 has increased
from $1,935,333 Gncluding the mill.
tary tax to s19,742,334 in 1913.
Per Capita Charge Of $16.1e ls Made
For 1e13-14
From a per capita government
charge of 1854 for the years 1872
the state by legislative enactment
theoretically in response to the
wishes of the people, has imposed
for collection in 1914 a per capita
charge Of $1619. This includes the
public school tax levy for two years,
which is expanded by apportionment
annually without the constitutional
form of appropriation and also the
indirect state revenues.
The total Of appropriations made
by the 1913 Legislature was $24,047,-
