JAPANESE BEETLES ARE
SPREADING
All Control Measures Have
Failed So Far

Tdlleu Do l. HE
All control measures used so far
have failed to lessen the number OF
Japanese beetles or prevent them
from spreading tonew areas, accord
ing to w. R. Walton, director of the
beetle labortory at the Bureau of
Entomology, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, at Morrestown,
N. j.
The beetles, which were first
noticed in that section of the country
in 1916, have now spread over a vast
section of the eastern part of the
country and, in the belief of Mr..
Walton, they may be infesting sec
tons of the country as far west as
the Mississippi, and south to the
Gulf of Mexico in fifteen or twenty
years.
Already the beetles have gone as
far west as Pittsburgh and as far
south as Norfork, Va.," declared Mr..
Walton. "And, of course, they have
been in New England for some time.
The insects, not so plentiful in a
given area, have continued to widen
their circle of infection with relent-
less rapidity."
During the present season the
beetles will be found until as late as
October. The period of decline has
already started according to Mr..
Walton, who reports that yesterday
his men gathered about 10000 for
experimental purposes and they con-
sidered that low figure for the sea-
son.
Mr.. Walton believes that the ex-
tended drought had considerable to
do with the earlier period of SUBJ
mergence this year. However, he
hastens to explain that this will have
no effect on the number next year,
when they will be found in greater
numbers than ever before.
eve have noticed this year," said
Mr.. Walton, chat the beetles are not
so numerous in a given area, although
the infested area constantly contin-
ues to become larger. Great num-
bers of beetles have been caught in
this section by the men here at the
station and elswhere. We have
used on an average of three to four
million during a four-week period.
The beetles which are caught for
use in experiment at the station are
obtained in the early morning from
trees, under which large piece of
canvas has been placed. At that
time of the day the beetles are
stunned and by simply shaking
the tree a great number of them can
be gotten into the canvas.

Baltimore, Md.
The night may be dark and stormy,
But the Master is on the sea,
And know He always is watching,
That God lives and cares for me.
The rocks and shoals are about us.
But the anchor of faith will hold.
And our ship will ride in safety,
Until safe within the fold.
We will trust and never falter,
AS we journey on our way.
Though the night may be dark ant
stormy,
We will watch and wait for day.

Term "Dixie" Ascribed
to Old Currency Note

Up the river on the steamboats, came
the $40 notes. For all steamboatmen
when in New Orleans did their bank
ing at the Banque DIES Citoyens. They
were printed, these $40 notes, in Eng
lish on one side and in French on the
other for the convenience Of both the
Creoles and Auglo-Saxons. In large
letters on the back of each note was
engraved "DIX," the French word for
ten. You could see the dix before you
saw the note, it was said.
"a dix note is always good" re-
marked a steamboat mate in Cincin-
natl, counting his pay money.
you're right" responded the clerk.
"a dixie is bon-bon, as these French
fellows say down South"
Unlettered as they were they pro-
nounced the DIX as 1t was spelled.
The town where the "diXies" came
from they called "dixie's land"
''Tm going down the river after
dixies," said the flatboatmen, of whom
there were still a goodly number on
the rivers as late as 1850.
81 bought this horse down in the
dixie country" remarked traveller on
the wharf at Louisville.
AS time went on and the sectional
homogeneity of the southern people
became more manifest with the dark
ening of the war clouds, the term
"dixie's land" came gradually to be
applied to the whole section in which
the dixies had the largest circulation.
From there on, a step only was needed
to extend the borders until 1t en-
braced all the United States territory

that there wasn't a thing the matter
with her patient but shock, few
bruises and general exhaustion. But
he insisted that she must stay In bed
for a week at least, see nobody, sleep
much and eat nourishing food.
1t was delightful in the great old
fashioned room with the scent of rose
leaves rising from the glossy linen and
golden silk cOverlid. Mrs. Polk was
the perfect hostess. She enjoyed hav-
ing somebody to do for. the stir Of
extra telephone calls. flowers and
visitors. And Anna, Mrs. Folks valued
maid, delighted in fixing the invalids
tray three times daily, with snacks
between. All the two women and Doc
tor Severance demanded of Belle was
that she be a good child and carry out
their orders. A good child And it was
so long since Belle had thought of her
self as being anything hut frazzled
and frayed and run down at heel.
Besides. she was learning that Mrs.
Polk wasn't sharp-tongued old
critic, but big-souled, big-minded, big
hearted woman, generous to the last
degree.
That week was a lovely dream. Then
one afternoon Belle arose. She looked
in the glass and started with sur
prise. She had gained pounds, there
wasn't a line in her face, luster had
come back to her hair and eyes.
Doctor Severance took her home.
And there she found an ovation, flow
ers, cards of greeting, chicken, all
just as if she had been away on a
journey.
The following evening Mary Ora
ham entertained for Edgar Sheldon.
Belle met him there for the first time.
He was even better looking than OF
old and he had the same caressing
way.
you've got darned pretty, Belle"
he said admiringly.
Belle failed to thrill and wondered
why. Then she looked down at the rich
red roses she was wearing with her
little black crepe frock. Those roses
had come from Doctor Severance. He
was a recent widower and he was try
ing to make her believe he needed
her. This knowledge was identifying
Belle as much as rest and good feed
ing, for it brought her happiness, the
happiness she thought she had missed
altogether.
