spread rapidly and to completely
destroy essential crops, also con-
sidering the fact that the host plants
of this insect are generally grown
and are of great importance for food
and soil fertility, and also that the
insect will survive temperature OF
20 degrees below zero thus making
it possible for it to live almost any
where it might become established
in the United States, makes the
Mexican Bean Beetle today one of
the outstanding and greatest pests
to agriculture.

The Mexican Bean Beetle And
Methods For Its Control.

The following article on the
Mexican Bean Beetle has been pre-
pared by G. M. Bentley, State En-
tomologist.
Chief among the insect pests in
Tennessee at present is the Mexican
Bean Beetle. Dozens of letters with
specimens are coming to the office OF
the State Entomologist. Knoxville,
Tennessee, daily. If you have not
done so, acquaint yourself with
with this most destructive pest and
realize that heavy losses have al-
ready been made, and probably
greater devastation awaits the ag'
ricultural Interests of the State from
the injury of this insect than any
vet known. 1t is a matter OF con-
siderable alarm and every one
should learn to recognize bettle in
it's different stages and how best to
control it. From the standpoint OF
agriculture the pesr may be even
more serious than the boil weevil.
The latter affects only one crop,
whereas the bean lady-bird beetle
destroys the most essential crops OF
of the South, as peas and beans are
grown for human food, for stock
food, as forage. and are very neces-
sary for soil improvement and the
conservation of soil fertility.
EASY TO RECOGNIZE The
presence can best be determined by
examining the leaves of garden
beans. To find these with leaves
eaten in irregular patches with the
thin upper tissue of leaf entirely or
partly covering these eaten areas
of the leaf; or to find leaves yellow
and dry with practically all OF the
body of the ieaf-eaten, the fins nei
work of leaf alone rem aiming, is the
first thing to look for. Finding bean
leaves thus injured look beneath
these leaves. More than likely you
will find some stage of the bean
beetle. Finding yellow or copper

has continued and today it occurs
in many new territories. Almost
daily new areas are being added.
To complete this study of spread OF
the beetle in Tennessee you can
render great assistance by sending
in tight tin boxes specimens take
from any section in the State, to G.
NJ. Bentley, State Entomologist.
Knoxville, Tennessee.
HOST PLANTS Among the
food plants of the Mexican Bean
Beetle are found all varieties of
of table beans, including cowpeas,
shell beans, lima, or butter beans
and all kinds of field beans, soy
beans, exceptions being taken or
English peas and velvet beans. May
occur and eat portions of many
plants grow near to host plants.
CONTROL Keep watch Of
bean plants finding a few bean
beetles present, destroy by hand
picking the insects or brushing
them, Several plants infested
should be treated by-though busting
of under surfaces Of host plants
with one part calcium arsenate and
nine parts hydrated lime well mixed.
Never use acid or ordinary lead
arsenate or Paris Green. The
bean foliage is susceptible to
arsenical injury. Where the infes.
tation is serious only bush varieties
of beans should be planted as they
can be busted easier and they ma
ture sooner. Where the infestation
is light, however, pole beans can be
successfully grown with little care.
There are several types of busters
on the market adopted to different
conditions. For gardens or small
acreages a hand duster is parctical,

beetles. Immediately report your
finding and send in tight tin box
some specimens to your State Ento-
mologist, Univefsitg of Tennessee,
Knoxville, Tennesses.
HABITS The pest breeds
rapidly and feeds voraciously. in 3
to 6 days it may ruin an entire crop.
Its life history in the West con-
firmed by observations in Tennessee
indicates that 3 to 4 weeks are re-
quired for its development from egg
to adult. It passes the winter hidden
away beneath rubbish, trash, leaves,
stems, ect., in the adult stage to
become active in March it food
plants can be found. Eggs are laid
in yellow masses containing from
so to IS eggs in each. Occasionally
we find smaller egg mass. The
female may desposit her eggs on
the underside of bean leaves or on
nearby growths. The young feed
almost entirely on the under sur
face of its host plants.
HOW SPREAD Adults are
strong flie1s and by this means they
infest new areas. The eggs, young
or pupa. may be conveyed on fresh
or dried host plants or in the case
of pupa and eggs, they may be
scattered in shipped growths taken
near an infest d host plant. The
bean beetle seems to preser the
higher sections of tie State, al

them alone in such sections. las'

IN MEMOR

To The Worshipful Master,
Wardens and Brethren of Emerald
Lodge No. 377, F. & A. M. at
Wartburg, Tennessee.
We, the undersigned Committee,
appointed by the Lodge at the last
stated Communication for the pur.
pose of drafting suitable resolutions
on the life, character and death of
Brother M. Hawn, beg to submit
the following:
Brother Hawn was born Sept.
3rd, 1860 and lived most of his life
in Morgan County, Tennessee. He
departed this life at his home in
Lancing on May 81, 1922, after a
long and protracted illness.
He bore his affliction with great
patience and seemingly had no
terror of death. He was completely
resigned to his fate and expressed
a perfect willingness to 60, eviden-
tly being fully prepared and ready
to meet the Great Architect of the
Universe. He left surviving him
his widow, Mrs. Susie F. Hawn
but no children, he had many other
near relatives however, and friends
to mourn his departure.
Bro. Hawn was made a Mason in
this Lodge during the year 1895,
having been initiated as an entered
apprenticed July 9th, passed to
fellow-craft August 31st, and raised
to the sublime degree of Master
Mason November End. He dimit-
ted from this Lodge on April 9th
1901, about that tine he removed
to Blount County Tennessee, where
he resided near Maryville for several
years, where he soon became
member Of New Providence Lodge
No. 1913 at Maryville. retaining his
membership there until about two
or three years ago when he move
back to Lancing Tennessee and was
readmitted to membership on dimit,
in Emerald Lodge No 377 F. & AZ
M. on May goth, 1920, in which
Lodge he was a member in good
standing at the date of his death.
Brother Hawn was a true and
faithful Mason, lived up to its prin-
ciples and teachings. His hand was
ever ready to extend charity to
those in need, he was ever ready to
whisper good counsel in the ear of
an erring brother, he was also a
devoted member of the Presbyterian
Courch at Lancing and was a reg
ular attendant on his church and
the Sunday School. He was an
upright, honorable man and Mason
and a christian gentleman. In his
death the Lodge has lost an esteem
ed and worthy brother, the Church
and Sunday School a true and de-
voted member. the country a good
citizen.
Therefore, Be it Resolved by the
Lodge, that we deplore the death OF
Brother Hawn, and deeply sympa-
thize with his widow and other rel
atives.
To his relatives and friends we
can hold out but little consolation,
except, to say that We feel that our
| and their loss is brother Hawn g e.
ternal gain.
We shall ever cherish his mem
ory, and many charitable acts,
friendship, realizing that the vacan-
cy caused by his death will be hard
to fill in this Order as well as in the
Church, Sabbath School and Com
munity.
Be it further resolved, that these
resolutions and memorial be entered
of record on the minutes of this
Lodge, that copy of same be fur
nished the widow and also the
Morgan County Press for Publica-
ton.
Respectfully submitted. this July

boss Of the old school, Before his
death he regarded the primary with
high favor, the reason being that he
was twice elected to the senate, each
time by immense majorities, under the
primary system, although proponents
of the primary had insisted that it
would drive men like Penrose out OF
public service.
Standard Deteriorated
Commenting on what he believes to
be the starting of q trend of public
sentiment favorable to a return TO tho
convention nominating system, the po-
litical expert of the Washington Post
writes
1T is generally admitted that the
standard of legislative bodies has de-
Perforated during the period in which
the direct primary has been in vogue.
There are fewer men in the halls Of
national legislation, particularly in so
called popular branch, whose names
are household words than there were
20 or even 10 years ago. The
country has witnessed in recent prj-
mary years some results in the choos-
ing of demogogic and incompetent Of
ficials for high places in state govern
, ments that were sadly repented-re-
suits which hardly could have hap
/ pened under the convention system ar
| Its worst. Demagogy never has had
such sway as it has enjoyed since the
| direct primary threw open the door
| to men who previously might have
knocked but never would have been
permitted to pass the Threshold
Corrupt Practices
Opponents of the primary also call
attention to the fact that since its ad
vent congress and the state legisla
lures have been called upon to enacT
| corrupt practices legislation on n
scale unheard of during the period of
| the nominating conventions. These
laws have not prevented frequent
scandals, however Furthermore, the
federal law under which Senator New
berry was tried was later nullified by
a supreme court decision.
Granting that the convention sys-
TEN of ante-primary days embraced
serious evils, the contention is adj
vanced by those who favor returning
to the convention system that the pri-
mary has not eradicated those evils,
and the assertion is made that new
evils have been developed under the
primary which more than offset any
benefits which may have been derived
under it.
So, if the voters of Maine place the
stamp of approval on the abolition of
the primary in that state, their deci-
sion will be hailed with delight by
most men in public life in Washing

ON OPERATING TABLE;
NOTABLE FlNkNCIER
fBy Associated Press

NEW YORK, May 6.-Henry P.
Dawson, of J. P. Morgan and company.
died on the operating table today.
This announcement was made at q
o'clock at the Morgan offices. Mr..
Dawson died about 1870 p. m.
A notable financier, Henry Pomeroy
Dawson will best be remembered, per-
haps, as the man who at President
Wilson's request directed the work of
the American Red Cross in allied
countries for the two years the United
States was at war with the Central
Powers. Taken out of the hurry burly
of Wall street, one of the most active
of the Is partners in the firm of j. p.
Morgan and company, the man who %
years before had walked the streets of
New York looking for job, directed
the first drive" of the American Red
Cross for funds, raised $114,000,000
and within few weeks had Red Cross
workers at their tasks in Italy, Belgium
and Switzerland as well as war-torn
France.
H. P. Dawson was one of the most
trusted lieutenants of the elder ].
Pierpont Morgan, who commissioned
him to represent the firm in numer-
Gus financial negotiations abroad He
made many trips to London, Paris and
Berlin. He made study of the financ-
ial system of Germany in 1908 and,
three years later, in that city, presid-
ed at conference of international
bankers regarding the Hankow-Sze
Chuen railway loan in which the So
called six powers group was interest
ed.
HAnArAd Cor Mail
In 1915, he was one of the nego-
tiators of the $500,00O,000 American
loan to the Allies. For his war work
abroad he was honored by many gov
ernments and Columbia and other uni
sHersities conferred upon him the hon
orary degree of doctor of laws
Mr.. Dawson was especially inter
ested in the conservation of child life
in Europe after the war and, with Her
bert Hoover and others, planned a
worldwide campaign in behalf of the
children abroad. He also directed Red
Cross relief work in Russia, Poland
and other countries in Eastern and
Central Europe. Shortly after his re
turn from Paris in April, 1920, he en-
phasiZed the gravity of conditions
abroad and suggested that congress
appropriate $500,000,000 for European
relief. Congress, however, was cold
to his appeal.
In 1919, he was one of the advisers
of President Wilson at the Paris con-
ference. That same year, when the
war councils work had ended, he was
elected chairman of the governing
board of the World League of Red
Cross societies at it's meeting in Paris

BIG MAIL THEFT UN-
EARTHED AT MEMPHIS

Last week there was unearthed at
Memphis a crude but large stealing
from the mails, supposedly by ne
groes, which is said to have been GO
ing on undiscovered for three years.
Officers dug into the abandoned pit
of an elevator shaft in the Grand
Central Station and found there many
evidences of long continued stealing
-rifled mail sacks, numbering $50,
packages wrappers, etc., which had
been torn from packages and when a
round of pawn shops was made, and
the home of one negro, seven suits of
clothes and two overcoats were found.
One negro, Columbus Bell, is said to
have made signed confession, admit
ting that the stealing had been going
on for some time, and duplicating
four confederates in the thefts. The
negroes had been porters and entrust-
ed with transfers of mail matter from
the train sheds to trucks in the base
ment of the station. The negroes
were all employed by the Illinois
Central and the Y. & M. v. Railroads.
