GONE HENCE.

Mrs. Mary Anna Alderman, nee,
Gelga, died at her home 8 miles
northeast of Mexico, at the age of
rs years, two months and 10 days,

dren are: p. C. and j. ]. Alderman

A CHAUTAUQUA COMING.
Methodist Church Auditorium Feb
ruary 20.

Mexico is about to have one of the
biggest treats of the season. Sum-
mer is the gala time for the amateur
circus, autumn the festive orrasion
for the carnival, but late winter has
been without a single stunt for so
long that our intellects lose all vigor.
1t is amazing how one is stirred up
on hearing a high-class bit of music
or reading. One gets inspiration, re-
ceives impetus to accomplish his ideal
and exhuberance enough to spread
joy for a month when he attends
such entertainments as the Hardin
Lyceum was last week.
Now, certain young ladies, mem
bers of the progressive Philathea
Glass at the Methodist church, have
long felt the birth of high-class and
educational programs in February
and are now preparing to present to
the public on the last night of this
month Chautauqua 'take-off"
They have secured the best talent
available and Chautauqua lovers will
be delighted to meet again with such
favorites as the University Girls, The
orpheum Male Quartet, Arthur Ra-
chel, the impersonator; The Cam
bridge Players; Beauchamp, the hui
morist; Ross Crane, the chalk-talker,
and best of all Sam skildkret and his
orchestra on Joy Night.
Tickets are now available and pro-
gram posters are in evidence. All
the Philatheas are Chautauqua boos-
tiers, and it will be treat. Mrs. w.
L. Reed, the teacher of the class, is as
excited over the coming event as are
the girls.

SAM LEE DUNCAN.

Mexico lost one of her very finest
young men last week. In reference
thereto we could not give the matter
a better setting than to quote from
the Mexico Methodist:
Our hearts are bowed in sorrow
as we write these lines. Sam Lee
Duncan, one of our noblest and wor-
thiest young men, for years a men,
Der of our Sunday School and of the
church, passed away as the result of
an operation for appendicitis at a
day morning at II o'clock.
Lee had but recently reached his
majority and was one of the bright,
clean young men of the community.
Life was full of promise for him.
Full of high ambition, he looked for
ward to life of usefulness. He was
graduate of Mcmillan High School
Of the class of 1912, and spent near
ly two years at Westminster College
at Fulton. He was converted and be-
came a member of the Methodist
Church in Mexico under the ministry
of the Rev. c. M. Aker. He was re-
ceived Dec. 16, 1906, having been
a member of the church for nine
years. He was actively identified
with the Epworth League and Y.M.C.
A. during the few months of his
stay in Quincy.
Besides the father and mother, Mr..
and Mrs. George Duncan, Lee leaves
sister and brother to mourn his
loss, Lucille and Russell. Besides the
members of the family a host of
friends remember him with tender
ness and mourn the loss of a genial
and loyal friend.
The funeral was conducted from
the Methodist Church on Friday
morning at 1880 by the pastor. S.
w. Hayne, after which the body
was tenderly laid away in Elmwood.
Our prayers that the great tender
heart of the Shepherd may anoint
with healing the broken hearts of
the bereaved that they may mourn
not as those who have no hope.
The following young men, school
chums and close friends of Lee, serv-
ed as pail bearers: Donald Adds,
Glendye Morris, Nisbit Livingston,
Lester Miller, Fred Peck and James
Culbertson.

In a bush and weed covered ra-
vine, near an unsprayed, unpruned
and neglected orchard, the Annual
Field and Orchard Insect Congress of
Missouri was held recently.
The following officers were elect
ed for the coming year; President,
Hessian Fly; vice-president, San Jose
Scale; secretary-treasurer Chinch-
Bug. Other delegates were: Army
Worm, Corn Root Louise, White
Grub, Wire Worm, Cut Worm, Corn
Ear Worm, Cooling Moth, Curculio,
Fruit Tree Borer and Bark Beetle.
At the close of the meeting resolu-
tions were adopted declaring that
field and orchard insects in Missouri
are capable of doing $4,000, 1000
damage to Missouri crops this year.
Each delegate promised to return to
his own field and begin his work of
cutting down the farmers crop prof
its.
1t was admitted by the committee
on preparedness, headed by Hessian
Fly, that if the farmers of the State
who attended the recent annual
Mexico Missouri message., 1916-02-10
Congress Of Insects Is
u In Favor Of Preparedness
Messrs. Hessian Fly and Chinch Bug
and Other Delegates.

Farmers Week at Missouri Univer-
sity would make use of their knowl-
edge of how to combat the pests, the
insects could have little effect on the
orchards and fields.
The committee recommended that
destructive operations be carried on
in places where farmers had become
discouraged because their sprays
made of strong lime sulphur and mis-
chile oils had been used with little or
no effect. San Jose Scale, however,
admitted that his tribe could accom-
plish nothing where farmers used
sprays at their proper strength and
did their work thoroly.
Farmers who hold to the theory
that 1--WE have always had insects,
they will always be here, there is no
use trying to fight them; just depend
upon the weather and the Lord"
were especially commended by the
insect convention. The bugs admit
that, with the farmer who takes his
work seriously and who is determin-
ed to win, their chances for destruc-
ton of crops is very small.
