SEEKS FOE OF Jap BEETLE
Specialist Has Been Detailed to
Bring to This Country Enemy OF
Horticultural Pest.

The Japanese beetle is going to have
Its old enemies on its trail In this
country. The United States depart
ment Of agriculture has sent man to
Japan to find those enemies and send
them across the ocean. They Will
then be established In the sections Of
New Jersey where the beetle has
gained foothold, and they are ex-
Ipected to aid greatly In the control Of
the pest.
The agent employed In Japan Is
familiar with Japanese conditions and
is specialist In this kind of work. 1t
Is expected that the task will require
his sojourn In Japan for two or three
years. While something Is known of
the parasites Of the Japanese beetle
q great deal is still to be learned only
under field conditions where the
beetle lives with all the enemies that
prey upon 1t. The beetle reached this
country with importations Of green
house plants, and thus far apparently
has been comparatively free from mo-
lestations by natural enemies.

WARD BRINGS FINE
SHEEP TO COUNTY

After looking over the imported
Shropshire eve and her two lambs,
which recently arrived at the farm of
Mr.. +. ID. Ward, south of Mt. Vernon,
County Agent S. l.. Anderson, Satur
day, pronounced them "a trio of real
quality in sheep"
The eve is a registered Shropshire
from England. The lambs by her side
were sired by the champion ram at
the English Royal shows in 1919. They
were selected from the Mock Flock,
one of the finest in all England. Mr..
Ward brought these sheep to Knox
county for the purpose of improving
this strain of stock owned by the To-
cal breeders.

POLICE AFRAID TO
ARREST FE|NERs

tBy Associated Press TO The Banneri
DUBLIN, May 17--Scorcs of men In
this city are ION the run" which. In
the parlance of the land means that
the police or military hold warrants
for their arrest, yet they go about the
streets unmolested by policemen.
Sim Feiners here, and incidentally
few men will admit they are members
of that organization say that the po-
lice are afraid to arrest one of their
members on the streets because
crowd collects, often shots are fired
and usually the prisoner is rescued.
1t is at night and at home that they
are in danger of arrest. The police
do not admit they are afraid to make
an arrest in public but say they dis,
like to create scene where many
people may gather quickly.
One of the runners" confided some
of his troubles to a newspaper man.
He is 3S years of age, has wife and
children and has served several terms
as a political prisoner. He said: "My
wife and the kiddies are getting rath.
er tired of the suspense of-not know
ing whether I am coming home or
going to Jail. have four places where
sleep. 1t is only at infrequent and
irregular intervals that go home and
then never to sleep in bed. l roll
UP in blanket ON a couch or floor
partly dressed. If they come for me,
which they have several times, get
out of the house and they find no evil
dences that l have been there. I do
not have to lay out along hedge or
hide behind tree as long as might
If they knew I had been there and
instigated a thorough search.
"This is only an outline of the sort
of life many of us are leading these
days. We all follow about the same
system in which much is left to
Fchance but it really has kept many of
us out of Jail for intervals at least"
This informant said nothing would
suit him but an Irish Republic and he
would fight for it as long as he lived.
