BAG WORM BOUT
OPENS TODAY To
SAVE TREE CROP
Municipal Sprayer at Work; Owners
Urged to Spray Trees AS Force
In Charge Of City Can't Cover
All Streets In Time.

Chickasna's war on the bag worm
was launched this morning when the
municipal sprayer' was put into ac.
tion.
That the sprayer was giving salts
factory results and was proving ef-
fective in killing the worms, was the
statement of Couuncilmen j. w. Co.
mer and II. II. DuBose, in charge OF
the citys bag worm eradication
drive. A mixture OF water and arse
nate of lead Is being used.
The bag worm war viii be waged
until every tree in the city inflicted
with these pests is thoroughly spray
ed, those in charge of the work said
today.
"Don't Wait for Sprayer."
Don't wait for the sprayer to
reach your trees" urged Mr.. Conner
this morning. Spray them yourself
if such is possible"
Mr.. Conner explained that it would
be impossible for the municipal
sprayer to reach every tree in the
city within the next three weeks.
He further explained that unless the
trees inflicted with the bag worm
were not sprayed some time within
the next two or three weeks, spray
inR would be useless, as the trees
will be slaughtered If assistance is
not rendered during that period.
Cow Owners Cautioned.
Owners of cows were cautioned
this morning not to allow their ami.
rails to eat foliage from the trees
that have been sprayed with the
poison mixture. Death OF the animal
would be inevitable If very large
arount of the poisoned leaves were
eaten, il was explained.
Poison signs will be placed
among the trees after they have been
sprayed by the municipal sprayer.
those in charge of the sprayer said
today.

LIONS ACCEPT CHALLENGE OF
ROTARY CLUB FOR BALL GAME
SHOW LIST OF CLASSY T<LENT

The authorities should take this
matter up because if they don't
there's going to be a ball game per
petrated between the Lions and Ro-
tarians.
This was made known today when
the Lions accepted the challenge
hurled at them recently by the Ro-
tarians and added a few unnecessary
remarks to the general effect that
said Rotarians had a lot of nerve to
presume to walk right into a den of
lions and defy the whole flock on any
kind of a proposition. From reading
carefully the epistle in which the
Lions expressed their eagerness to
take the Rotary club out to Univer-
sity park and administer a severe
and well-deserved togging. it could
be seen that the general attitude of
the Lions toward the Rotarians' ball
club, is "Hod you get that way?"
A Cluster of Stars.
Word from the camp of the Lions
is that Fred M. Frey has been elect
ed as manager with P. G. Spinning,

From Tuesdays Daily Herald
Although there are a number of Off
Gals and members of the court who
seriously doubt if the tax levy pro-
uosed by the committee will raise
er@Igh money during the coming year,
it 3 regarded as altogether probable
that the levy will be approved as re-
commended. The committee looked
into the situation carefully and while
not altogether agreed that some of
the items should be eliminated reached
a unanimous report The report OF
the committee that makes the investi-
cation always carries much weight
weight with the court.
The levy that is recommended
would be the same as a $2.45 levy on
the old assessment. The old rate was
$2.22, so that this would mean an adj
vance in the rate OF twenty-three cents
over the levy for 1919. In calculating
liit itFtHucS uiiutl Illt Idtc II must
be considered that the assessed prop
erty of the county is approximately
double what it has been. That does
not mean, however, that each individu-
al can ascertain the amount of his
taxes by multiplying the old assess
ment by S2.45 for the simple reason
that some assessments have been in
creased more than others and only the
average is given.
There is keen disappointment eX
pressed that the committee found Il
necessary to eliminate the levy for
buildings for schools. This will leave
the board of education without fands
to make necessary repairs and addi-
tions to buildings. The bord issue
takes care of only a comparatively
small number of school houses and
the increase in the school levy is alb.
solutely required in order to take care
of the increased operating expense
without leaving anything for the re-
pairs and improvements.
The highway maintenance tax. lev
led where bonds are authorized for
state and federal aid roads. can. it is |

this was the course taken by the com
mittee, as the state has agreed TO
