BEETLES ARE SCARCE
IN MICHIGAN FIELDS ,
' Bean Growers Are Assured That No
t
| Serious Damage is to Be
i Expected.
. Michigan hean growers will he re-
' assured by the reports recently made
by the United States Department of
•= Agriculture which shows that the
' Mexican bean beetle has made ho ap-
j preciable progress in Michigan during
" the first year of its presence.
| Thorough scouting by the federal
I department and hy entomologists ;-.t
' Michigan State college has resulted
; in the finding of the beetle in only
| two new areas in the state. Last
| year the insect was found in three localities.
1 Only a few of the insects were
1 found this year in the area where
' they were located and no commercial
| damage had been done by those
; found.
j In view of the small numbers of
: the insect present in the state, the
' college entomologist repeats his
[ statement of last year that producers
! of beans in Michigan need not worry
' about the bean beetle for the next
few years.
The federal report shows that the
beetle is spreading slowly in a few of
the northern states but it does not
seem to develop rapidly enough in
numbers to be a serious menace in
this section.

One of the most successful fairs in
its long history of 78 years, was
brought to a close in Hillsdale, Saturday. Record crowds filled the
grounds Friday and Saturday, as well
as Thursday, always the "big" day
and the huge crowd was handled
without a single serious accident
recorded during the entire week. Exhibits in all departments, the excellent programs each day in the Wo-
mans' Congress building, the fine racing program, the tournament ball
games, the many sports and contests,
the excellent band music each day,
the midway concessions, all added to
the pleasure of the thousands of people who came from all parts of southern Michigan, northern Ohio and Indiana to attend the fair. With the
re-election of Clarence W. Terwilllger,
veteran secretary of the fair, this af-
ficial enters upon his 33rd consecutive year, making him the oldest fair
secretary, in point of service, in Michigan.—Addison Courier.

"THE MAGIC FLAME"
COMING TO LIBERT ¥
Story of- Circus and Royal Court Lift
Saturday and Sunday Evenings.
Samuel Goldwyn, producer of "Th
Dark Angel" and other distinguishe
films offers as the piece de resistance
of his career the new Ronald Colman
Vilma Banky film, "The Magi
Flame," coming to the Liberty thea
tre Saturday and Sunday. It is t
story of clowns aud counts, circus an."
court, love and laughter.
Ronald Colman plays two roles i:
the film, that of a clown and that c-
a count. It is Vilma Banky, an aerfe
artist, whom Colrhan's two character
iove and struggle for. Into the war
and woof of that conflict Henry Kin
has injected romance, surprising siti
ations, humor, satire, physical strug
gle, a pair of murders, a balloon a-
cension and parachute jump, a who!
circus filmed in its Colorful detail-
and directorial acumen such as th
movie-going public has come to assc
ciate with his name.
The. action of the story occurs in ;
Mediterranean country, Baretti's ch
cus furnishing the background again"
which Vilma Banky and Ronald Co'
man make love. It is when Colmaj
the clown, has triumphed over Co"1
man, the count, that the locale i
switched to the royal court, with tr-
clown accepted on all hands as Kin
of Ulyria. Wljen Vilma Banky a.
rives at the court to avenge the milder of her lover, the clown, she doe
not suspect the true Identity of th
monarch. It is with the disentangle
ment of this tense situation that th
plot thereafter is concerned.
