Are A New Worry ' V ' - i ~ (Continued from Page 1) three weeks, when the moth comes forth and is soon ready to lay the eggs which are to carry the species over the winter. Fortunately, there is only one brood during the year. “This borer is essentially a lesson to Indiana farmers in the value of clean farming,” comments Professor Troop. “All weeds in the tomato field should be destroyed, preferably by plowing in the fall. This will dispose of the eggs for the succeeding crop. The infested stalks should, of course, be cut and burned as soon as discovered. This will aid materially in eliminating the insects, and Dame Nature comes to the rescue quite readily in the shape of parasites which will attack many of the caterpillars and destroy thousands of them in a season.” o Grave Accident continued :.»om r age one clung, hoping lO stop her horse should it attempt to run and endanger the lives of the other occupants. Mr. Schuh, however, hastened to the scene with the other neighbors living near, and he grabbed the reins of the Nichols horse and held it, thus preventing any further damage from that source, should it have attempted to run. The Fruchte horse, however, had, in its mad struggles, broken the dashboard of the Nichols carriage, and gotten down between the shafts, but was finally extricated. The Nichols carriage was badly damaged, the front seat being split from the bed, the dash board broken, the fender twisted, and the harness of the Nichols horse damaged. Mrs. Nichols was badly bruised, and the daughter, Beulah’s wrist sprained, but their injuries are not serious. The fright, however, was great, not only on the part of the occupants of the carriage, but also of spectators.

IS VERY IMPORTANT. C. H. Baldwin, state entomologist, has announced that his office is prepared to give advice on the insect problems of any district in the state, information about injurious insects and plant diseases may be obtained by writing ro him a* State House, Indianapolis, Ind. Specimens of the injury and its cause, together with a description of the conditions surrounding it, should always accompany a request for information. The state entomologist does not guarantee methods for complete control of injurious insects and plant diseases in every case, but the amount of damage that can be prevented is very great. If the trouble seems sewous enough an inspector will be sent to examine it in person and give advice cn the ground. The entomologist has also expressed his willingness to identify as .ar as possible any rare or curious insects which may be found in the state, provided, of course, that .the specimens are se tq him. It is to be hoped that many people will take advantage of tais opportunity to learn how to improve their fruit, take care of their treee, and remedy other troubles for which insects are e responsible. oPOLICE COURT NEWS. The Stauffer trial in which Florence Stauffer is charged by the state with operating a house of ill fame is exciting considerable attention in police court circles.

Several men were named by the witnesses as having frequented the place and among them are It, fiuential citizens. It is thought that the evidence will all be in today and the case will go to the jury late this afternoon. c THE LANHAM® COMING. Mr. Bosse has secured the Lanham's Lyric Players for a week’s engagement at his theater, beginning on Monday, July Ist. This company comes well heralded, being one of the most popular organizations of its kind in the middle west. The same is headed by Mrs. Mcrtie Ross and Karl Lanham, two young people, who win favor wherever they play. Miss Ross is one of the cleverest little ladies in the stock field today. Her singing voice is unexcelled. The Players will use as their initial performance, “The Girl and the Man,” a drama of first water. The vaudeville portion is considered far superior to any company playing at these prices. The prices during tne engagement will be ten and twenty cents. - 3. NOTES 'ROM COURT HOUSE. Attorney D. E.

It is better to say: This one thing I do, than to say: These forty things 1 dabble in.—Gladden. Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Essex most royally entertained at a dimer party, guests being Mr. and Mrs. John P. Davis. Mr. and Mrs. James Hendricks, Sr., Mrs. John Nelson and two daughters of Monroe, and Leona, Minnie, Don, Harry and Clifford Essex. A most sumptuous dinner, such as Mrs. Essex can prepare, was served, of which all partook freely, and the afternoon was spent in social conversation and music. Nineteen Pythian Sisters held an enjoyable picnic at the Charles F. True home in Foe Tuesday, where a royal time was had by the members. Upon arriving at the True home they found extensive preparations for their comfort and convenience and at the noon hour a huge table was spread on the lawn, where a big picnic dinner was held. In the afternoon they enjoyed themselves playing croquet, tennis and base ball. Intending to return over the interurban, which broke down it was necessary to ’phone to town for transportation. Messrs Charles Hower, Dr. Miller, Dr. Beavers, Glen Falk and William Fledderiohann volunteered to go after them. The first four machines made the trip all right, but the Fledderjohann machine blew out a tire in the north part of the city, and the force of the explosion caused the demountable rim to fly some distance, and it was impossible to find it later. Because her time to entertain the Orient club brought the-event on her birthday anniversary todav Mrs. J. H. Stewart decided to make the affair more elaborate than usual and invited the club ladies to spend the entire day with her and enjoy a dinner party at noon today. As the anniversary is so near that of the Fourth, the national colors were used in the decorations. The bright colqrs were draped about the room, and a bunting strip als-y outlined the edge of rhe table cloth. Small flags were given as favors and the candelabrum held large firecrackers instead of candles. Covers were laid for Mrs. Stewart’s gnnst, Miss Mabel Fahl, of Huntington, besides the following club members: Mesdames Charles Elzey, Charles Hower, C. D. Murray, I. A. Kalver, Harry Helm, D. B. Erwin, C. D. Lewton, W. R. Dorwin, J. M. Miller, Kate Burdg, Otto Kirsch and Oscar Lankenau. The affair combining all the pleasures of a dinner party, birthday party, and the regular club festivities ,was a most enjoyable one. The dinner was served in three course, the hostess being assisted in serving by Miss Gertrude Hilkene of Indian apolis. and Miss Alice Knapp. Mrs. Stewart was presented with a beautiful cut-glass compote by the club members. The C. 3. L. of I. extends a cordial greeting to the public to attend the dance and pedro party to be giver, tomorrow evening, Thursday, June 27th, at the hall. June 13th being the fifty-first birthday anniversary of Mrs. Jesse Essex, the children and friends sprang a surprise the following Sunday. In spite of the rainy weather they gathered at the home, forty-two in number. Mr. and Mrs. Essex went to church in the morning, and while there the guests gathered and arranged things in order for the dinner, which was the main feature, and to which all did ample Mrs. Essex received some fine presents, among tha number being a ten-dollar gold piece, given her by Mr. Essex, and a large mirror from the children. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Mirl Essex and children, Marie, Jessie and Delbert; Mr. and Mrs. Sherman Essex and son, Harold; Mr. and Mrs. Jason Essex and son, Gerald; Mr. and Mrs. J. E.
