Strange Moth
Potato Borer
A strange moth not heretofore noted in
the Lower Rio Grande Valley is attacking
sweet potaloi-' and doing .some damage
according to M. M. High truck crop m-
'i ct expert of the Cnited States Depart-
ment of Agriculture with heud<|uarter' at
Fort Brown. Mr. High i- now conducting
an investigation of the moth which lie de-
scribes a> a “halt brother to the Iri'h po-
tato moth.” The moth lias been found m
sweet potato patches not more than a mile
from the ban kof the Rio Grande leading
the entimologist to believe that it hails
trom Mexico. While the investigation*
have not progressed far enough to deter-
mine the exact method of handling the
moth which bores into the tuber Mr. High
siiy> that deep planting and fumigation of
the tuher> will rid the patehc of them. This
i' the surtie remedy a» applied to the Irish
potato moth.
The Colorado Irish patato beetle lias
also la-eii lately discovered in this '***•-
tion lor the tir-t time but in only a few
places thus far. It was brought down .Mr.
High believes in seed potatoes.

WESTERN UNION
DAY IN ROTARY
J. E. M'LEMORE OF DALLAS AD-
DRESSES ROTARY ON MOTTO—OIL
MEMBER MAKES AN ADDRESS.
Today was Western Union day at the
Rotary Club luncheon and the feature of
the meeting was the address of J. E. Mc-
I*eii)orc of Dallas division commercial
agent of the Western Union Telegraph
Company. Mr. Meljeniore although he was
hilled to talk on “Salesmanship” because
of limited time chose ns his topic the mot-
to of Rotary “He profits mo-t who serves
best.”
Mr. MeLemore a past master in the
art of bidding the attention of his aud-
ience entertained the Rotary members
highly in an original adaptation of bibli-
cal characters to the science of Rotary
lie wound up his ten minute talk with a
few remarks on the proposed methods of
the government in raising an army declar-
ing that since “you go to a dentist for
tooth ailments to a doctor in illness to a
lawyer for advice on matters of law why
not to the exj>ert men of the army for ad-
vice on how best to raise an army.”
Mr. MeLemore has twice addressed the
Inernational Rotary at Cincinnati Ohio
and dnote gatherings of Rotary all over
the country lie is an expert on sales-
manship has sold millions of dollars
worth of goods himself and now has un-
der him as commercial agent of the Wes-
tern Union of the southwest a force of
nearly three hundred men engaged in what
might he termed the selling end of the tel-
egraph business.
M. B. Kowalski of the Texas Company
the “Petroleum and Its Products” member
of the local club made u short talk on
“Lubricants” ns the technical feature of
the luncheon. Mr. Kowalski compared
Texas and Pennsylvania lubricants de-
claring that that produced in the Lone
Star state is superior. He assured his
audience in reference to the report of the
Federal Trade Commission on Standard
oil yesterday that neigther the Texas Com.
pnnv nor any of the other oil concerns
in Texas have an connection whatever
with the Standard.
Visitors at today's luncheon were lie-
-ide- Mr. MeLemore Brigadier General
Charles G. Morton Major Frank E. Hop-
kins and .Mr. M. B. Posey of San Antonio.

Motocyle And A
Mule In Mix-Up
Bv quick thinking I*. A. Newman of
Brownsville 'yesterday probably saved
himself serious injury from u kicking mule
but now has a totally wrecked motorcycle
—the price he paid.
Newman was riding his cycle through
a fenced lane several miles out of the city
'at a speed of 35 miles an hour lie spied
| the mule just within the gate and the
fact that the mule was preparing to kick
and that letices on either side prevented
his avoiding the animal struck him at the
same time. Ilis mind directed him to run
the machine into the mule as an attempt
to avoid the animal would have placed him
at the exact distance to receive the full
impact of a kick that the hvhrid was very
apparently preparing to launch.
So Newtnan ran the machine into the
mule ut 35 miles an hour. Necessarily
the machine was wrecked Newman was
thrown some distance ami painfully
shocked while His Honor the mule with
a victorious bray exhibited only a slightly
hurt ankle.
