B. Y. P. I ■ convention. Ot> Tuesday anil Wednesday. May 12 and 13. there was held at the Baptist church in thjs ci’y the Sundav School and B. Y. P. U. Convention of the salamonie Baptist Association. Over so delegates were in attendance representing the Baptist churches of Muncie. Montpelier. Bluffton, Ossian, Ebenezer. Linn Grove and Pleasant Mills. The Sunday school convention was opened at two o’clock Tuesday afternoon by A. L. Johnson, of Muncie, president of the convention. This was followed by an address of welcome by Rev. C. D. Hazelton, and the response by Rev. FH. Hart, of Ossian. The reports of the Sunday schools ttete next heard which showed a gratifying growth and a deep and growing interest ii* the work wnich must certainly result in the strengthening of this most important branch of Christian work. The address on teachers meetings by Rev. S. C. Fulmer, of Montpelier, was very interesting and instructive and will doubtless result in more teachers' meetings being established in the as sociation. Rev. W, W. Hicks in bis address on the Home Class Department was not much in favor of this department, except as a feeder to the Sunday school proper. President A L. Johnson then conducted an open parlament on Sunday school interests in general. which was the means of. giving many new ideas to most of the delegates present. The feature of the evening session was to have been an address by Rev. J. B. Tuttle. D. D .of Muncie, but as he was unable to be present the time was given to Rev. Hart. Rev. Hicks and Rev. Fulmer, who spoke on Bible study and the necessity of training. On Wednesday morning after Hie devotional service the woik ot the B. N . P. U. convention was taken up. The reports from the Unions were heard First, including the reports oi the organ ization Os two new Unions; one at Ossian. and one at Ebenezer church in Wells cduntv. After a vocal duet by Misses Laura Keirstead and Eva Dungan, members of the Muncie Junior B. Y. P. U Rev, E, W. Hart addressed the convention on Missions and ' Rev W W. Hicks conducted an open parlaiment on "The Achievements of the B Y. P. U Associational Meetings.” Rev S. C. Fulmer then addressed the convention on "Work versus Amusements.” 'A' . . In the afternoon Mock, of Muncie, read a paper on the Christian Culture Courses as published in the Baptist Union, and Mrs. N. B. Leslie, of Muncie, conducted an open parlaiment on "What.can the Seniors do for the Juniors?’’ Mr*. G. D. Snyder then spoke with his old time energy on -‘TheConsecrated Dollar.” Mrs Leslie read a paper -on ‘'Christian •Stewardship” by Miss Lallhue Dungan of Muncie. Several short talks were then made in anticipation of the international convention ol the B. Y. P. U A. at Milwaukee during the coming summer.,,. - In the evening short addresses were made by G.’ D. Snvde.r, Hugh Miller and Mrs. Nl B. Leslie after which for half an hour a censecration meeting... was held when theconvention adjourned and the delegates returned to their homes. This was altogether a most satisfaatory convention and it will undoubtedly bear much fruit in those Sunday Schoo’s and Young People’s UnionS which were represented in it • If the hair is falling out. or turning.gray, req iiwng a stimiilent with nourishing and coloring food..

JUSSI OX ABV SERVICES. I The Liberal t . 11. < liur. li. ol Wren Report* a Very IntereMimr .’Heeling. i Last Sunday evening the Liberal U. ■ B. church, of Wren. Ohio, held their i annual missionary service, which provicd to be a success in every way. A j very pretty program had been arranged ! for the occasion which was well rendered by the class who bad been preparing for it the past two or three weeks under the supervision of Dan Meyers, the pastor. Mrs. Allie Sipra, very plainly stated the object of the meeting, and made a very telling appeal to the congregation to aid the spread of the gospel into the foreign missionary fields, which was responded to in a manner that went to show that the people of Wren have a religion that extends to their pocket books as well as their hearts. The collection was s3l 85. Among the pretty selections was a solo, “America's Greeting to Africa.” by Miss May Smitley of Hoagland, Ind., and a male quartette, "The Lord has Need of Thee,” by D. H. Murphy, B. B. Teeple, Marion Spahr and George Hawkins, Miss Clemmie Merica, organist. A very appropriate address by Miss Iney Dull and a recitation by Master Henry Laßue* also deserve praise for the excellent manner in which they wfere delivered. A large audience was present and all went away expressing their good will and felt that they were well paid for their attendance. Visitor. The Currant Worm and Borer. These two species of insects have done more damage to the currants and gooseberry industry in this country than all other .causes combined. A lew years ago every farmer raised enough currants and gooseberries for home consumption, at least, but s’nce. the introduction of these pest- mil one-farmer in ten thinks of raising even a fair crop. It would seem that after al! that has been written-on the subject, nothing more need be said. but it is evident that the people in general are not weii posted.on tie- subject even yet. the rriiKAvr worm. The currant worm, or more properly the gooseberry saw fly, was inroduced into this country from Europe about the year 1557, coming, as did the imported cabbage butterfly, byway of Canada. It is probable however, that it was landed at other points along the eastern coast. Like most of our imported insects it spread very rapidly, until it now covers the greater portion of the Unted States. This fly belongs to the order Hymenoptera, which includes the bee?, wasps ami ants. It is known to entomologists as a kind of connecting link between this order and the Lepidoptera, to which belongs the moth arid butterflies. The adults make their appearance soon after tin* leaves of the currant and gooseberry bushes come forth. The female lays her eggs al >ng the principal veins on the under side of the leaf. These hatch in about ten days, ami lhe youtfir larvi" may be detected by the minute holes which they have eaten through the leaves. As they approach maturity they become ravenous eaters, soon stripping the bushes of the foliage. They then seek lor a secluded, place in which to pupate, and in about so .ror live weeks the second brood makes its appearamsi ami t.1,i6 same process is gone through Its before. REMEDY. * The most.sui.Te-.sful remedy yet discovered for this insert Js white, bclh-bm-e. bust a little of the powder over the infested hushes while they are damp, either early in the morning <;r just after a shower. If this is done promptly, before the worms have spread all over the bushes, one or two applications will usually be siiflie.ient. I Hl. I I KKAXT HO'REIi.
