MEXICAN BEAN BUG
KEEPS UP RAVAGES
Invading Beetle Army Holds Its
Own" During Summer, Despite
Efforts 60 Dislodge It.

Despite determined efforts of the
United States Bureau Of Entomology
chemical Warfare Corps to dislodge
1t. the Mexican bean beetle army has
held its own during the past Summer
and has even begun the conquest of
another northern State. Although it
has been in the South for five years
and has thoroughly established itself
in the heart of Dixie, the beetle made
no serious INVASION of the North until
1924, when 1t annexed the State of
Ohio, reaching the shores of Lake
Erie at a number of points. This year
il has widened it's salient and estab-
Ished line across the southeastern
part of Indiana .-
Elsewhere the depredations of the
beetle We're not extended greatly be-
yond last years holdings. Some east
ward extension in the mountainous re
Eions from Pennsylvania southwark
TO North Carolina has taken place
but little new territory has been seized
elsewhere These small eastward
drives, however, are causing officials
of the Bureau of Entomology some
concern, for If the insect army passes
the natural barrier Of the Appalachian
chain 1t may overrun the Piedmont
and coastal plain regions.
The Mexican bean beetle, according
TO ]. E. Graf, in charge of the bu-
reau's work on truck crop pest in
SestigationS, is a sneak as well as an
enemy, for he appears in the uniform
of large lady-beetle, which we have
always been taught to regard as a
friend. But there are several lady
beetles in Mexico, Mr.. Graf states,
that prey on mans crops instead Of
ON the enemies of his crops. This is
The first time that it has invaded the
eastern part of the United States, ap-
pearing, no one knows whence or
how, in northern Alabama in 1920 and
extending rapidly north and eastward
each year.
Though the adult beetle does con-
siderable damage, the real harm is
done by the squashy grubs or larvae,
which feed voraciously on the leaves
Gf all kinds of crop and truck plants,
skeletoniZinG the leaves and causing
them to turn yellow. Thus far the
only effective means of combat have
been spraying and busting with arse
alical chemicals. The Bureau of En-
4omology has twice imported natural
parasitic enemies Of the pest from
Mexico, but the parasites have failed
10 survive, while the beetle, appar.
emily more easily adaptable to north
ern climatic conditions. has remained
and thrived. What appeared to be a
bacterial disease broke out among
the beetles in Alabama a couple of
years ago. but unfortunately the cpl
demic died out again. Government
scientists are coptinuing their re-
searches on diseases and natural enc
yr1ies Of the beetle, hoping that eventu-
ally a means of control less expensive
end laborious than poison spraying
and busting may be found.

CAPE PROVINCE NATIVES
DEPRIVED OF FRANCHISE
Change Necessary, Says Premier,
Because They Will Outnumber

SMITHFIELD, Orange Free State,
November IA decision to totally
deprive natives Of the Cape Province
of their existing parliamentary fran
chise is announced here. Premier
Herzog declares it is impossible to
extend similar franchise to the other
provinces of the South African Union,
for this would mean the ruin of Euro
pean civilization.
Experts. the premier added. figure
that the native voters in the Cape
Province within so years would out
number the white voters and the
change was necessary. The govern
ment proposed to withdraw the native
franchise in the Cape Province and
instead give the right to natives
throughout the union to elect seven
Europeans to represent them in the
legislative assembly, in addition to the
quota of representatives provided for
by the constitution.
Among other proposals dealing with
the native problem are to give them
the additional land already promised
and to train them for self-administra-

Old Apple Waste Recalled.

Thirty years ago in a small Middle
West town large and fine tomatoes re-
tailed at Is cents a peck. Now they
sell at II cents a pound, says the
Chicago Journal of Commerce. Drop
ped apples in the orchards were fed
to the hogs or rotted on the ground.
Now they are packed in baskets,
shipped by express or carted to town
to bring more than the finest peaches
yielded In 1890. Fat hens that sold
for 25 cents now bring $3.50. Farm
ers who got SO cents a bushel for
peachblow potatoes did well. Now it
costs them 80 cents a bushel to raise
them.
All the common domestic fruits
cherries. plums, pears. grapes. cur
rants and such vegetables as cab
bage. cucumbers, peas, onions and
beets are sold high. Cherries and
tomatoes particularly, the home
basis for food acids during the Win
ter, formerly put up for the mere
cost of canning, are now obtained
only at stiff prices. while eggs at

Officials explained that the New

other Federal reserve banks have
made the increase as a psycholog-

DOGS RACE WITH DEATH

Seldom has more stirring story appeared in the daily press than that of the intrepid "mushers" and their faithful dogs dashing across the frozen Alaska wilderness, carrying their precious cargo of antitoxin to the diphtheria-stricken town of Nome.
 Bill Shannon, Jim Kalland, Bill Green, Leonard Seppala and Gunnal Kasson were the heroes of this thrill ing exploit, in which the distance oi $50 miles from Nenana to Nome was covered in relays in five and one half days of travel day and night.
 Kasson covered the final leg of the trip in a bowling blizzard, with the mercury 30 degrees below zero. Kal land made a record between Tolovana and Hot Springs that will probably stand fer years to come. Green made the 175 miles from Hot Springs to Ruby in less than 16 hours of Arc tic night. The others showed equal endurance and courage.
 According to Kasson, all this effort would have been in vain, had it not been for his big black dog, Balto leader of his crack team of 13 Si berian malamutes. Kasson said:
 Tn the long trek across the snow covered and blizzardly trail, it was Balto's eyes that saw, when human eyes had failed

TOLERANCE IS NEEDED

In the present state of unrest, with crime rampant throughout the land, the need for tolerance and CO., operation among honest and we'll meaning people is greater than ever before.
 Too much energy is being wasted in fruitless wrangles over politics, religion and other controversial mat ters and too little is being spent in sincere efforts to promote higher standards of public and private con- duct
 People will always have different views on many questions and no amount of argument or abuse will ever lead everyone to the same way of thinking. It is proper to have convictions and to stand by them, but we should accord the same rights to our neighbors.
 On many of the vital problems of our time majority of people could agree, if they would only lay aside unimportant differences and join in advancing those things that are real ly worth while.
 We spend much time in arguing over fine points of theology, while political corruption, social injustice and general lawlessness prevail. We are divided into thousand warning camps and organizations, when unity is demanded as never before.
 Those who foster strife are ap plauded and followed, while pleas for tolerance, broad-mindedness and cooperation along useful lines are ignored.
