SPRAY WEB WORMS WITH
ARSENICAL SOLUTION

During 1917 the fall vel worm was
unusually abundant in Louisiana, es-
pecially In the southern portion of the
state. In some sections it entirely
desoliated pecan, pear, peach, persim-
mon, willow, and other trees growing
both in the woods and in cultivated
areas, besides causing injury to va
riOus field and garden crops. Whether
the pest will be as injurious during
1918 remains to be seen, but the
worms were noted in their webs on
trees in the vicinity of Baton Rouge
early in April and what is apparently
the same insect has been reperte,
from elsewhere in the state. Destroy-
ing these, the first brood of worms
to appear this year, means lessening
the damage that may be done by ia.
ter broods They may be killed BY
cutting the webs from the trees and
burning them, or torches may be useu
to burn the webs and larvae as they
occur on the trees, or the worms NAV
be poisoned by spraying the foliage
on which they are feeding with an
arsenical, such as arsenate of lead

Sunday both morning. and even
ng the new Christian church was
filled to overlooking by the people
gho crowded inside to witness the
opening services. In the morning all
the other protestant churches dis
missed their services in order to al
low their people to attend the dedl-
cation service, and in consequence
the aisles and the rooms leading on
the auditorium were full, and it was
with difficulty that the ushers and
attendants made their way around
It was the same way at the evening
yervice so far as cr0Wdlng III was
concerned. Fifteen minutes before
eight, the time set to begin, every
seat was taken and chairs were De-
ING placed around the walls and IN
the aisles and in adjoining rooms
The auditorium is built to seat COM
fortably 225 people, but there were
10 less than 400 inside the building
at each service yesterday, and more
than hundred people turned away
at each service.
The sermon by Rev. Adams IN the
morning was splendidly approprl-
ate. He dwelt upon the large part
the church as an institution has play
ed in making the manhood OF TINS
nation, and not this nation only put
every nation where the church mas
had free course, capable as agents Oh
God to work for betterment and up
lift, He dwelt especially upon the
great and noble part the church mas
played in this present great CRISIS Oh
war. And it was to continue SUCH
4 divine role in this community 1hat
this local church was dedicated ana
set apart. y
In the evening Rev. W. "
stenhens, one of the religious dlrec-
tors in Camp Macarthur, near waco
preached great sermon on sacrlhce'
He said there were two kinds OF sac
rifce, voluntary and Involuntary
Belgium, he said, has made SUCH
sacrifice as has challenged the adml-
ration of the world, but she was so
placed that she had to do it. There
is no special glory in doing what one
has to do. On the other hand the
sacrifice the United States is making
in participating in this large way in
this war is one that will go down in
history written in the boldest letters
that ever blazoned a page-because
Of the magnitude of that sacrifice,
by reason of the cause that inspired
US to make it, because it was almost
entirely voluntary on our part.
One keen disappointment was felt
at the evening service in that the
Gerstner Field Quartet could not
appear. Word was received Sunday
afternoon that two of the young men
who compose the quartet were sud-
denly called to report at an Atlantic
seaport for overseas duty, and that
prevented their coming. However,
Rev. Adams was a pleasing substi-
tute for that part of the program.

TAX LEGISLATION
 MAY FAIL DURING THIS CONGRESS
tcontinued from Page one)


 which the existing law probably would raise and the six billions which the treasury believes should be raised by taxation in 1919.
 An unjust feature of this program, congressional leaders think, would be that the existing provisions for ex- cess profits taxes have worked recog- .nized hardships on many businesses and the imposition of added war profits taxes would aggravate the sit uation.
 The possibility of having no new comprehensive program of revenue Legislation, and consequently of rais- ling less than the six billions sought ,froHn this source before the end of .tNeA fiscal year, June 30. next, has .s,rlSfapted the treasury to consider pIanA for issuing quantity of short term rfQtes-- maturing in one year or less ana. paying these off from tho proceeds f heavier taxes which would ne necessity in 1920. This course would depend largely. however, or the attitude Of the next congress or revenue legislation.

BLAME WIRES FOR

 A slight fire was in progress which was quickly extinguished.
 Chief Johnson said that the fire had evidently originated in an cleo tric feed wire in the building. A hole, IS inches square was burned in the floor but there was no damage to the stock.

R-SIGHTED OFFICERS HAD
 FAT TURKEY

American Army of Occupation, Thursday, Nov. 28-(By the Associat- ed Press)-Only one turkey was served on Thanksgiving day in the en- tire American army of occupation. This was at the mess of Is far-sighted officers of the Bureau of Operations at the headquarters of the Third Di- vision at Remich. The turkey was purchased on Nov. II and was fat tened for the feast today
 Other Thanksgiving dinners in the army varied according to the re- sources of the mess officers anS the ingenuity of the cooks. Owing to transportation difficulties the quarter master was unable to furnish the usual luxuries and trimmings
 While the Americans had plenty ot | wholesome and substantial food, from the enemy lines came further reports of hunger among the released Alliet l prisoners, food riots among the de- feated troops and civilian privations.

OYSTERS TO ARRIVE
when ice BREAKS
Severe Weather Has Caused Short
age in Bivalve Market.

Breaking up OF the cold weather
that has held the Potomac and the
Chesapeake In a grip OF ice for
several weeks is expected to bring
several cargoes of oysters to the
local market.
Several boats which have had
cargoes billed for the District have
been compelled to lay UP down the
river" because Of the ice. Large
steamers only have been able to
make the trip from the bay.
This year oyster men declare has
been the worst witnessed in many
years. Baltimore dealers, too, have
suffered. With a heavy demand in
the District, dealers have been un-
able to obtain enough of the BIZ
valves to supply even a normal de-
mand.
The cold. hard work of gather
ing oysters from icy waters ap-
pealed but little to much of the la =
Dor that heretofore has been avail
able and the trade has been faced
with a labor scarcity that has add
ed to the shortage.
Boats that heretofore have been
engaged in dredging. and smaller
tongers also, have been diverted to
other uses and have helped to make
the delicacy scarce.
