Clean Up Garden Plot and Proven.
Pests

Now is the time for preventative
measures against garden pests for if
delayed too long, they may be inef-
fective is the warning of W. ]. Baerg
Entomologist of the Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station, University of Ar
kansas. Mr.. Baerg gives an interest
ing explanation of the habit and sug-
gestions that will aid in controllin.
two of the worst garden pests
The Striped Cucumber Beetle:
Soon after the growing season for
such garden crops as cucumbers,
melons, and squashes has begun, nu-
merius complaints regarding the raw
ages of the striped cucumber beetle
come to the Experiment Station.
Since these complaints are usually
sent in only after the injury of the
beetles has become conspicuous such
control measures as are usually sug-
gested often arrive too late to do any
good. Furthermore, in case of the
striped cucumber beetle spraying
with lead arsenate is far from being
entirely effective for the reason that
the beetles refuse to eat the leaves or
stems covered with the poisoned
spray
Much can be done in the winter
time to prevent injury by this pest.
The beetles spend the winter largely
in rubbish, old vines, weeds and other
forms of shelter that they are able to
find on or near the garden patch. If
such rubbish is carefully raked up
and burned, large numbers of the
beetles will be killed and the injury
shat they are likely to cause will be
prevented.
The Harlequin Bug, or "Calico
Bug" as it is sometimes called is
fiatbodied stink bug red and black in
olor. During the months of June
and July every mail brings some of
these insects and complaints that they
are killing cabbage and related plants
At that time the adults are rather nu-
'aerous and since no spray is known
that will kill them without killing the
the plant, there is very little that can
be done in the way of giving advice.

IDA May IS. NOW !
AREAL.IY I'd Town
Sheriff Glover Gohdu nets u
Raid on the Betsy
Ann.

Probably in no place in Marion
county is the air so salubrious as in
and around Ida May. Visitors to the
town have frequently remarked the
look OF perfect health on the faces of
the Inhabitants, especially the children
although from time to time some OF
the adult male population have looked
considerably the worse for wear espe-
cially when coming from the direction
Of the Betsy Ann.
The Betsy Ann stands on an emil
nence between Ida May and Farming
ton and commands an excellent view
of both roadways. Time after time in
the past year, county officers have
tried to get the goods on the proprie'
tors of the place but from their coign
OF vantage everything more damaging
than game of pinochle would be re,
moved ere the arrival Of the officers,
and all went merry as marriageable
belle until yesterday.
Yesterday afternoon, just at the
hour when all county officers with any
idea of correct social usages should
have been getting into their dinner
clothes, Sheriff Glover personally con,
Quoted a band of deputies up the hill
from Ida May, surprised the garrison
and what they Aagged was plenty.
On the right, going up the hill was an
innocent looking bale of hay, which
turned out to be camouflage still.
Betsy Ann yielded up another still,
thirty gallons Of pickhandle, and twen-
ty-five gallons OF mountain dew.
Mamalik Cratino, one Of the proprie-
tors, was arrested. The other was not
on the premises but will be gathered
in in due time.
Today there is general rejoicing in
Ida May. Many have been the orgies
directly traceable to the product Of the
Betsy. Ann and there is not much
doubt that this wart on the fair Ida
May landscape has been removed for
good.

Nike L|TCH'S ROLL
DEPARTS SUDDENLY.
Indications Are That II Has

Pennsylvania.

When Mike Litch, Slay from
Rtvesville, appeared before the mayor
this morning, 1t was with a we'll deiin-
ed grudge against women folks in
his mind and a peeved expression in
his eye@ Not only this, but Mike felt
very certain that when City hall au-
thortties learned of the cruel manner
in which he had been treated thcy
would instantly, IL not sooner, round
up Edna Wellmon and Bessie John
son, colored slightly, and deliver
back to him the $45 which he lost
from under his pillow last night on
Water street.
Mike even had the services this
morning of City Attorney Kern with
the mayor thrown in and also those
of Chief Moran. He also had Edna
Wellmon, dressed carefully in fur
coat and plaid cloth skirt and pert
hat, with other necessary garments
and with a comple ledpn of pale sdnsky
quaift 1dna sat with her toes 10
tehl only fire in policecs sourt, and when
line time for her to. speak she said
she knew nothing about the s45. As
Bessie failed to turn up, the chief
went after her and discovered that
she had received word this a. m. as to
urgent business which required her
attention In other parts and had left
for pennsylvania, no particular town
or village.
Mike told his story quite without
blushingsto the effect that he had Wis
tied the girls last night in their room
on Water street, and after buying
whiskey for $3.50 had settled down
to remain indefinitely. Skipping the
chapters in between, toward morning
Mike found no $45 under his pillow,
the amount having been taken from
his trousers and placed there by one
Of the girls, while the other slipped
in the room and made way with it.
The way matters look now, Mike will
be minus his $45 for some time. Both
Edna and Mike were dismissed per.
manently.
