NEGRO ELECTED TO ASSEMBLY
is SPEAKER AT G.. o. P.
MEETING.

st. Louis. Dec. 1S.-Walthall NJ.
Moore, a Negro waiter who was elect
ed a member of the Missouri house
of representatives from st. Louis, Sat
urday told his Republican colleagues
in a session at the Planters hotel
that he expected to accept the advice
of friends TO sit quietly and look on"
during the proceedings of the Fifty
first general assembly at jefferson
City.
Moore. whose district includes the
silk stocking wards in the west end
of St. Louis, did not arrive at the
hotel until after the representatives
had finished their dinner. He was
until recently a waiter at the City
club here.
He was introduced in his regular
turn by Lieut.. Gov.-elect Hiram
Lloyd, whose call for the Republican
house members to come here to get
acquainted" was answered by only
about rs members outside OF st.
Louis. There was a generous APP
plause as Moore rose to his feet.
SdNe meeting Colorln9.
81 suppose you fellow representa-
tives are thinking that l would have
a bit of stage fright in appearing be-
fore yau," said Moore. Il am placed
in a peculiar, yet a distinguished posi-
ton by having been the first mar of
color elected to sit in the Missouri
legislature. l was agraid that l might
not get here Saturday, but for fear
that the meeting would not have the
proper coloring, as Mr.. Lay has so
beautifully put it, I am glad to be
with you. Clay is the representative
of Crawford county and during a
short speech had referred to the meet
ing as having the proper coloring. -
Il probably have received more ad-
vice than any other representative or
representative-elect," continued Moore
Il have been advised to sit quietly
and look on. l think that it is good
advice.
II want to cooperate with you mem
bers in seeing the complete program
of the Republican party carried out
in Missouri. The raising of our edu-
cational standards is probably the
greatest problem which confronts
the general assembly"
Tribute From o'FaIIon.
Rep. Sam F. O'Fallon, of Holt coun-
ty, who probably will be reelected
speaker of the house, in a speech
paid a rather glowing tribute to the
Negro member-elect.
Il hope the Negro member will not
feel out of place because he is the
first one to serve with the white
members said O'Fallon. 1T is only
through the Republican party that he
can serve in the Missouri legislature
l am glad that he is here"

FROM FORMER MACONITE

Chicago, H., July Sd, 1920,
Editor of the Beacon:
| do miss the dear old Beacon,
which | do when | neglect 10 renew
my subscription and il stops, SO to
prevent anything of the Kind happen
ing again soon, am enclosing my
check for two years subscription. Am
also enclosing you an adv, which wish
you would insert in the Beacon time
or two.
On June 22d, 1920, | had issued to
me letters patent for new and useful
improvements in life preservers. The
most useful and bouyant object for
me to use in manufacturing these
life preservers comprises pair OF
gourds- Just common dipper gourds.
Saw off the handle about two inches
from the body Of the gourd, clean the
seed out, run cord through two cork
shoppers, tieing a knot under the cork,
with the cord just long enough to
reach across the chest. insert corks in
two gourds, clinch corks and seal,
The device will now, when pa. IN the
water, rest up against the outer edge
OF each shoulder blade. There is an
arm loop attached to the cord which
prevents the gourds from slipping
down on the body. I want all the long
handle dipper gourds, or all kinds OF
gourds, large or small, but must have
a bottle neck. will enter into a con-
tract with one of dozen of more per-
sons to raise gourds viii furnish
such persons the money for their cul-
tivation and take all gourd raised at
ten cents each
have now had about Is years of
city life, sixteen of which has been
spent in Chicago, in the city general
real estate business, but | have not
forgotten how to raise gourds. They
should be planted and cared for as
water melons or cantaloupee, and
form perfect bottls-neck if vine is
trained up on an arbor. Fence corn
ers are a fine place to plant them and
train the vine up the fence.
Am having my only Child, Is year
daughter, to draw a figure and exam
pie of my device, which l enclose
with this.
Sincerely yours,

HOW TO FIGHT THE COTTON
BOIL CUT WORM

During the past few weeks many
complaints have been made from va
rious parts of the state in regard to a
worm that is destroying cotton, corn,
tomatoes, alfalfa and grasses and
elovers.
This worm has appeared in our
county and threatens to do great dam
age If farmers use no control methods
This worm is known as 'the Fall Army
Worm" or "Grass Worm" The Yellow
Striped Army Worm or Cotton Boil
Cut Worm" 1t feeds on many plants
and field crops but prefers the grass
es, corn and cloyers.
In practically all cases where this
worms comits serious injury to culti-
waited crops the damage can be pre-
vented if the farmer is on the alert to
discover the insect when they first
appear. In controlling this pest it is
very important to use that CONTROL
method best suited to your conditions at
the first appearance Of the worm, as
this worm is easily killed with a very
smaa amount Of poison when small
but as the larva grows the more pois-
on it takes to kill In fact the larva
Of this insect can take a surprising
amount Of poson as they reach full
growth.
We give below several controll
methods. Use the one best dapted to
your conditions and crops. If he has
not yet appeared on your farm he is
apt to do so, keep on the lookout for
him and at first appearance stop him,
Poisoning, is rather unsatisfactory
for these worms unless done while
they are very small. Corn especially
should be watched closely, if small
white spots appear on the leaves the
worm is very likely there, if he ap-
pears in number use poison at once.
Liquid poison, one pound of paste
Arsenate Of lead to twenty-five gal
Ions of water, or one pound of paris
green and two pounds of lime to one
hundred gallons of water. Dissolve a
pound of soap TO each twenty five gall
Ions will make the poison stick better.
Dry poisoning can be applied by
dust guns or by the pole and sack
method, Powdered arsenate of lead
may be applied, pure paris green
should be mixed with lime or -four SO
as to be eveRly distributed over the
plants and thereby prevent burning
the foliage. Some plants can stand
more than others. Corn is damaged
more easily than cotton. The powder
will stick better if applied while dew
is on the plants. Applications must
be repeated frequently during rainy
spells.
Moving crops where the worms ap-
pear in fields of alfalfa or Johnson
grass they may be controlled by i'm
mediate cutting off hay.
Rolling-Many worms may be killed
by rolling the fields with heavy roll
Ter, where it can be applied.

It cost us S2500 90 in cash to pet Mr.
Murray to come and make an inspec-
tion of our acreage
After looking over the acreage that
we had under lease he advised that we
take leases in certain localities in
Mississippi and Alabama. We went TO
work and around the location East of
West Point we secured leases on a.
bout $4,000 acres, and in Alabama on
about $4,000 acres.
In the territory that we had leased
in Calhoun county, Monroe county and
Noxubee county, Mississippi he was
favorably impressed and did not turn
down this acreage. Mr.. Murray made
report to US and he publically made
statement that on our acreage East
of West Point that he found unmis-
takeable evidence of pool of oil of
no mconsldeIable dimensions. On this
he made location and said that he
would stake his reputation as Geol-
oglst that If we drilled here that our
efforts would be rewarded with no
small amount of oil.
On the acreage in Alabama he said
that Ne found the strongest evidence
OF oil that he had found outside of
Texas.
