to sanction a proposed merger of the
Knights and Ladies of Security and
lrraternal Aid. BY merging the Sc
curity and National American, the
combination organization will carry a
membership of nearly 10000 men
and women.
Only One Vote Against 1t.
Approval of the consolidation was
voted by the two societies. The Ma
tionaI Americans supreme governing
body voted unanimously to go over to
the Security. Only one vote was cast
against the merger when the proposal
was submitted to the official body of
the Knights and Ladies Of Security.
The merger retains in Topeka the
national headquarters of the former
knights and Ladies. The merged
companies. operating under the new
name of Security Benefit association
will enter the field with new strength
and increased assets. The fact that
the former Security organization PAID
claims promptly and came thru the
flu epidemic without the requirement
OF a special assessment gave strong
testimony as to its solvency anc
strength The new organization is one
OF the important organizations in To,
neka and its plan to erect its nationa

tions of the city and the society.

NEW VARIETY OF
INSECT IN TOWN
Rosy Dryocampa, Companion to Sad
died Prominent, Is Green Striped
Maple Worm-Its Description.

I The rosy dryocampa. or green striped
maple worm, which has been discovered
as a companion with the saddled promi-
nent in some places, has been found in
some sections of Brattlcboro, The
identity of the insect was furnished by
H. L. Bailey of Bradford, who wrote
County Agent Frost after the receipt Of
some specimens. In a government bull
letin issued last April the statement was
made that from pupae of the rosy dryo-
campa found in the woods in Manchcs-
ter, where the trees had been stripped,
it would appear that the insect was par
tieularly abundant there. The same
treatment is advised as for the sad
died prominent.
A description Of the insect follows:
The full grown larva is two and one
half inches long, grcenish white, marked
with longitudinal dark green stripes,
red patches on each side near the rear
end and it may further be distinguished
by two horn-like projections on the
head; the pupae is almost black and the
she'll is hard; the adult is of a hand
some creamy yellow marked with rose;
It's life history stages are practically
those of the saddled prominent, but it
feeds almost entirely on maple; the
pupae lay loosely under the leaves and
may be destroyed by the same meas
ures as are recommended for the sad
i died prominent.

ADVISES AGAINST STRIKE.
Secretary Wilson Tells Labor Conven-
ton Mooney Was Justly Convicted.

ATLANTIC CITY. u. J., June IL
Sec of Labor Wilson, speaking before
the convention of the American fedora
ton of labor today, urged organized la
Dor to refuse to support the nationwide
strike which has been proposed as a
protest against the conviction of Thorn
as Mooney. He said the government
was investigating the. claim that new
evidence justified a new trial and that
he himself was devoting much time to
the case.
The secretary declared that, thus. far
the governments inquiry had shown
that the Judge and 5myi fbefofe whom
Money was tried conducted themselves
properly and that the jury. had to con-
Wet on the evidence. s He admitted that
new evidence might develop to alter the
situation.
Butt he continued stsfor organized
labor to participate in such strike al
i is proposed would simply mean thai
labor was trying Mooney without bene
fit of evidence. Very few of us ar,
familiar with all the evidence yet ever

juror. Justice cannot be obtained il

LIQUOR sMUGaLERs FARE HARD
Customs officers Capture Many Autos
and Wet Goods. !.

WASHINGTON, June Smugglers
who have attempted to run the blockade
of war prohibition laws to bring liquor
into the country have met with small
luck and officials of the customs service
believe similar attempts under national
prohibition will not be more productive.
Several thousand gallons of Intoxicating
drinks and a number of automobiles con-
fiscated from international 'bootleggers
testify to the effectiveness of the Gus
toms inspection. The automobiles can be
disposed of by the government at any
time but the liquor is providing difficult
problem, as it must be sold before mid
night of June 80 Auctions have been
ordered in an effort to get rid of the prop
erty. Liquor captured in dry territory
will be taken to nearby port of entry
in a state where it can be sold. Liquor
captured in Maine, for instance, is to
be sold in New York.
The Canadian and Mexican borders and
Florida apparently attract more liquor
smugglers than any other parts of the
country. Some travellers who bought al
coholic drinks in good faith, not knowing
importation was illegal, have been al
lowed to reship the liquor back to the
country of origin.
I'VE don't see any need for mcreas
ing the customs force when national pro
hibition becomes effective" it was sale
yesterday by G. w. Ashworth, chief o.
the service. ''The ban on importation o.
intoxicants has been enforced successful
ly for many months and there is no in
dication that smugglers will have more
success with bringing in whiskey thai
they have with more valuable goods

tween ,producers and consumers, and ete1
ropen M sthe avenues of distribution which
have been clogged by the present meat
packing industries
Two national organizations of farmers,
Che National Association of Livestock
Growers, the Consumers League of the
District of Columbia, and the National
American Woman Suffrage association are
backing these bills, it was announced.
As an example of the need for immedi-
ate attention to this question, the secre-
tary Of the Consumers League Of the Dis
trict of Columbia cited the recent pre-
dicament of the war department when
there were 264 100000 pounds of meat on
hand but no avenue of distribution avail
able in this country whereby this meat
could be released for the benefit of the
consumer without additional profit, except
the avenue provided by the meat packing
industries.

Cooperative Guild of England said that
proiiteeriug would continue as long as the
production and distribution of fdodstuffs
was in the hands Of small groap of men
whose chief business was to distribute
food. not at the least cost to the consum-
er, but with the greatest profit to bust
ness She described the power and effec-
! tiveness Of the cooperative movement in
England, and warned the members OF
4 the league that only by some such meth
cd could there be any hope of adequate
remedies for the ~food question
The league passed a resolution indoors
ing senate bill S2S-a bill which will amend
| the Pure Food act so as to include
wrapped hams and bacon in the net
weight provisions. The executive chair
I'man of the Consumers league of the dis
trict pointed out that under a ruling of
the department of agriculture, wrapped
hams and bacon are not packages, and
that therefore it has been possible for
, .he packers to sell paper which cost four
cents pound at the same rate that the
meat is sold. from 50 to IS cents pound,
with a profit of from $50 to 800 per cent.
