NOT THE JAPANESE BEETLE

| Picking blackberries 7 u I'd a y
morning, near Cecil Paper Mill,
about four miles northwest of Rising
Sun, near the Maryland-Pe Pennsyl-
vania line, Clarence G. Krauss, a
garageman of this town, saw
swarms of a small greenish black
bug, with golden-bronze markings,
that look suspiciously like that
destructive winged, pest, the Japenese
Beetle, Mr.. Krauss captured a
handful of the bugs and has them
on exhibition at his garage here.
The County Agent, at Elkton,
was notified, came to Rising Sun and
after seeing the bug declared it was
not the Japanese Beetle. He took a
specimen of the "varmint" to have
it identified.
The beetles first began to attract
attention in 1916, when they were
observed in a nursery near River
ton, N. j. At that time the insects
were found only within radius of
one-half square mile, and entomo-
logists at first believed that they
were Southern species of beetles,
but few months later the insects
were identified as species in
digenous to the islands of Japan.
1t is believed that they were brought
to this country with shipments of
iris flowers imported from Nippon.
1t is impossible to estimate the
amount of damage the insects have
caused to farm crops, fruit trees,
truck gardens and parks. Over 200
species of plants have been listed as
furnishing food for the beetles by
entomologists. Practically all the
economic crops grown in the in
vaded territory are represented in
the list.
The more favored food plants on
which the beetles feed include
apples, peaches, cherries, plums,
grapes, blackberries, clover, soy
beans and corn. Shade trees of all
kinds and many Towering plants are
also attacked. Besides attacking
the foliage, the adult beetle is es-
pecially partial to the fruit and is
often found clustered on both apples
and peaches in large numbers.

FIREMEN's CARNIVAL
Busy Workers Preparing For
Opening Night

All hands are busy with prepara
tions for the sixth annual carniva
of the Community Fire Company
which opens here on Friday evening
of this week. Booths have been
erected and are being decorated and
put in readiness for the, particular
purpose intended; goods have been
arriving daily and everything is on
the move. The kiddies are tickled
to see the merry-go-round being
set up.
Old Jupiter Pluvius has been at
tending all the carnivals with such
regularity this summer that he has
pretty nearly monopolized things.
Port Deposit, West Grove, Kennett
Square were all hard hit by rain,
and Perryville also, but the latter
carnival was very successful despite
unfavorable weather on several
nights. The others mentioned were
dismal failures.
Just what is in store for Rising
Sun is not known, but the tiremen
are making big preparations, and
hoping for the best.
The WHY'S knight sedan to be
given away, is a beauty, and whoever
gets this machine will be happy.
The Cable-Nelson Standard Player
Piano is a fine instrument, with
beautiful tone, and this too is to be
given away.
A number of handsome electric
lamps are to be given away during
the carnival. These lamps are alb
solutely free. All that is necessary
is to register at the Piano Booth,
where you will be given a ticket,
and coupon with your name on it
placed in box. If your coupon is
drawn from the box the lamp is
yours, without having cost you one
cent.
Band concerts will be feature
each night, the Community Fire Com
pany Band furnishing most Of the
music. On Saturday evening, of this
week there will be massed band
concert by Rising Sun, North East
and Chesapeake City Bands.
The grounds will be brilliantly
lighted and there is ample parking
space for autos. This is feature
that will appeal to every driver OF
car, as there will be no difficulty in
providing for every machine right
at the grounds.

CAMP FIRE GIRLS

The Colora Camp Fire Girls en-
joyed their time at Hance's Point
again this year, in spite of rain and
cold part of the time. They went
down on Saturday, the 10th, and
returned the following Friday. Ten
girls were in camp as follows:
Eva and Vera Reynolds, Marjorie
Stephens and Frances Kyle, of
Colora: Dorothy Garvin, Marion
Reynolds and Viole Dowland. of
Liberty Grove; Frances and Emma
Taylor, of Rowlandville, and Marion
Blackburn, of Port Deposit. Helen
Murphy spent one night in camp
Mrs. Ruth B. Lippincott, Guardian
of the Group, was ably assisted by
Mrs. Lloyd Balderston and Miss
Esther Wetherald.
A very pleasant feature of the
camp was the many visits from
home, every day but one, bringing
some one to see us. The largest
delegation came on Tuesday, when
the Colora Woman's Club came and
brought their supper, but the smaller
groups were also enjoyed.
The expenses of the trip were
more than covered by the festival
held at Rowlandville the evening of
June 23rd. There was a total
taken in that night of $4O.33, of
which $29.70 was clear.

TOM TAGGART IS
VERY INDIGNANT
Asks Suppression Of Edna
Ferber'S Book

New York, Sept. 2. P-The New
York World" says that Tom Taggart,
widely known democratic leader of
Indiana, has demanded through his
lawyers that Edna Ferber's new
novel, SHOW Boat" be withdrawn
from sale, because, he alleges, it
contains an inference that he once
was a professional gambler.
Thomas Taggart, jr., informed the
paper by telepohne fro m French
Lick Springs, that he understood his
fathers lawyers have written both
Miss Ferber and her publishers re-
questing that publication be stopped
at once.
THE complaint as I understand
it," young Taggart said, lis that one
of the characters in the book speaks
of going down to Tom Taggart and
taking some of his money, or some
thing like that"
Miss Ferber said tonight she had
mo intention at the present time of
stopping the sale of the book, or de-
letting it or amending it in any
form" At her publishers, Double
day, Page & Company, it was said,
nothing was known of the matter.
