VOTES LIGHT IN
LOCAL ELECTION

Reports received from the polls
this afternoon at o'clock gave evil
dence that an extremely light vote
will be cast in the special $4,000
bond election being held here today
Unofficial reports from the seven
voting precincts in the city showed
that slightly more than 100 votes
were recorded this morning. Those
in close touch with the situation,
however, predicted more activity at
the polls this afternoon and this
evening. Polls close at Z o'clock.
Few women voted this morning
and this was one of the reasons
given for the belief that this after
Moons voting would be heavier than
the mornings count.

CHEWING CATERPILLAR
ATTACKS CATALPAS.
(By Associated Press)

INDIANAPOLIS, June "A chew
ing caterpillar which strips catalpa
trees of their leaves has appeared in
several places in Indiana according
to Frank Wallace, state entomologist,
who says the insect is good fish
tait." The insect is known as the ca
talpa sphinx
They are particularly noticeable
on the umbrella catalpas,' says Mr.
Wallace. and immediate steps should
be taken to combat their work and
prevent later destruction by a horde
of these insects An excellent spray
to eradicate and control this pest con
sists of powdered arsenate of lead
dissolved in water in proportions OF
one ounce of lead 10 one gallon of
water"
The sphinx attacks only the catalpa
tree, adds Mr. Wallace, explaining it
is a rapid worker and if not molested
will strip tree Of its foliage in a
short time. The sphinx is yellow
and black caterpillar with black
horny projection on the tail.

Advocates of bargaining tariff Civ
ing the president authority to grant
concessions below the ordinary rates
of duty or impose penalties according
TO the manner in which American
products are treated by other coun-
tries, probably will be successful in
obtaining a satisfactory provision in
the permanent tariff bill, which prob
ably will be submitted to the house
about June Is.
Exporters Need Reciprocity
The provisions for reciprocal tariff
agreements with other countries
which are included in the tentative
administrative sections of the perma-
nent bill. as drafted by the experts
associated with the house ways and
Lnodho SoLHLnItIee' SAo" tndL lne con-
ditions of exporters as to the need OF
some measure of reciprocity has been
recognized.
Whether the bill as now drafted
proves entirely satisfactory to advo-
Gates of bargaining tariff or not. it
seems TO be certain that something
along that line will be included in
the bill as reported to the house, and
that a groundwork will thus be fur
nished for the adoption of perfecting
amendments by the senate finance
committee. The senate committee is
expected to show a more sympathetic
attitude toward action designed to
stimulate foreign trade than the house
committee, which is primarily inter-
ested in building a substantial tariff
wall around American industries
