W. L. KING AGENCY is
OFFERING FREE SERVICE IN
AUTO LICENSE BLANKS

w. L. Kings Insurance Agency is
placing their services at the disposal
Of all local automobile and truck own
ers in filling out the new license APP
plication blanks for the 1922 license
tag. The new act is quite complicat-
ed, the levy being based on the weight
of the vehicle rather than on the
horsepower as heretofore and much
figuring is therefore necessary. Mr.
King has a table of weights and IL
cense charges which enables the APP
plicant to ascertain just how much
his machine will cost for 1922. Mr.
King emphasizes the fact that this
service is absolutely free.

PRIZES FOR MAY BEETLES.

The big clumsy brown May beetles
that fly to the lights during warm
evenings of Spring and Summer are
sometimes very serious pests. The
beetles eat the buds and leaves of
many different trees and shrubs,
while Hhe larvae are the "White
grubs" that often seriously injure
lawns, pastures, hayfields, corn, straw
berries, mad other crops by feeding
on the roots.
More than 80 different species of
these May beetles have been collected
lin Mississippi. The Entomology De-
partment is anxious to learn more
about these beetles from all parts of
Mississippi and is therefore offering
prizes to boys and girls who will col
lect and send in specimens during the
next six months.
| The beetles should be sent in each
day after they are collected and while
they are still fresh. 1t is best to send
them alive. A careful record will be
kent of all beetles that are received,
and postage will be returned prompt
ly for specimens that reach us.
The beetles should be enclosed in
tight boxes or mailing tubes for ship
ment. The name and address of the
sender should be in conspicuous
place. Keep in separate package
the beetles collected on each kind of
tree. Keep those collected at nights
by themselves and make a note as to
where they were collected that is
"at light" or on pecan, pine, oak, or
whatever the plant may be. If pos
sible keep the different collections
separated. The prizes will be award
d only to boys and girls, but we will
appreciate and acknowledge beetles
sent in by others.
