Prizes wilj bs awarded according to the usual custom: $25 for the company making the best appearance: $25 for the company having the most men in line; $20 for the Women's Auxiliary making the best appearance; $15 for the best in line; and $15 for the company coming the longest distance.

A special meeting of the town council was held this evening to go over the specifications for street im plantings with air-slacked lime.

In a very short time after these beetles attack the bean vines the leaves soon turn brown as though fire had swept them. It is not noted that they attack the pods but the vines are affected by the sapping of the leaves. They are not bothering any other plant but seem to relish the bean plant. Some gardeners have tried the usual poisons but the beetles are not affected one bit. They work from the under side of the leaves, here depositing eggs from which soon appear myriads of grub like worms.

It is said that these grubs do more damage in a shorter time than the parent beetle. Unless something is found to kill these beetles soon, local gardeners will have very few lima beans this year. Slaughter Neck Campmeeting. under the auspices of Siloam A. M.
