Construction Started On  Texas   Centennial Exposition For June 1936
Hundreds of workmen began con¬ struction today on the World's Fair of 1936—the Texas Centennial Ex¬ position which will open in Dallas next June.
Although .-cores of new exhibit building.- are to be built, work at this time is being concentrated upon remodeling of present structures. First to fall into thc hands of work¬ men was the Administration Build¬ ing, a huge structure which is be¬ ing remodeled at a cost of 125,000. An entrely new front for the Ad¬ ministration Building has been de¬ signed by the architects so that it will confonn with other structures on the Exposition grounds.
Meanwhile, demolition of other buildings on the 200 acre Fair Grounds continues, with workmen razing various exhibit structures of the State Pair of Texas, which an¬ nually has attracted 1,000,000 visit¬ ors. As .soon as demolition Is com¬ pleted, construction of exhibit pal¬ aces will begin.
Among the first of the new build-; Ings to go up will be the archltectur- | al group, which   consists   of    the; livestock building, poultry building, agricultural building and the foods building.
To provide additional space for exhibit buildings many city blocks adjacent to the World's Pair grounds have been condemned. Removal of residential structures now existing In this area Is expected to start within the next few weeks. '
In this section, a permanent civic center group will be built. Including. an Art Museum, Aquarium, Sports Building. Social Hall, Natural His-! tory Building. Better Homes,    and, other   structures   of    a     cultural nature. [
The Texas Centennial Exposition win commemorate the rapid growth of the Southwest In the last 100 years, since Texas declared and achieved its Independence. In keep¬ ing with the concrete rea.sons for the Centennial celebration, hi.story is the theme predominating throughout the Exposition. In ad¬ dition to the grriu Central Exposi¬ tion to open In Dallas, June 6, cel^- Ijrutions will be lield Ihroiighnut mnn at Texas' historic .shrines San Antonio, Oollnd. Houston, N.iroL'do- elies.

27th ANNIVERSARY OF GOOD SHEPHERD HOME
You are most cordially invited to attend the 27tii anniversary of the Good Shepherd Home for crippled children and old people on Thurs¬ day. August 22nd. 1935. The object of this Home is to help the most helpless to help themselves and others. The encouraging thing In our work is the fact that we have helped all our children and old people. The most encouraging thing Is that the Home has helped those who otherwise would not have been helped. One of our boys with two crutches Is teaching in the Public Schools for the fifth year with in¬ creasing salary and has organized and is Instructing two bands in con¬ nection with the schools. When we think of how dllTlcult It is for per¬ sons who are not handicapped to secure positions, it m.akes us feel proud to think that at least .some of our handicapped children are suc¬ ceeding.
The tliree ways by which the Oood Shepherd Home Is being helped are, by voluntary contributions, by be¬ quests and by anniversary days. We recently received a check of $50000 in payment of a bequest from a for¬ mer friend in Scar.sdale. N. Y. This friend also bequeathed an oil paint¬ ing of "THE OOOD SHEPHERD.'
We are expecting a nice Anniver¬ sary Day with a large and respon¬ sive audience. Tlie Rev. Herman Brezlng, D. D, Director of the Wart- burg Orphans Parm School, Mt. Vernon, N. Y.. will give the princi¬ pal address. A pageant, directed by John A. McCollom, entitled. "SAUL OP TARSUS" will be given by the children.
Tlie Ladles Auxiliaries will serve meals at reasonable rates. Short morning program at 10:00 O'clock, regular program at 1:30 p m. and the evening program at 8 oclock. iDnyllyht  Saving Tiiiiee
Japanese Beetle On The Increase In Easton And Northampton County
Roses, grapes, and hollyliocks are among the    favored food    of    the ] Japanese Beetle which is appearing in increased numbers In Easton and in other sections   of   Nortliampton County.    The beetle, however, feeds , on  many   kinds  of  foliage  and   Is | often not particular if  Its favorite food Is not available.
County Agent B. L. Coleman states [ that plant.s can be divided accord- : ing to their susceptibility to attack. Group one, wliich is very susceptible, includes Grapes. Rose->. Hollyhocks, Willow,    Linden,    Elm,    Sassafras, Hor.se  Chestnut,   Hibiscus,  Virginia | Creeper.    Caiina,    Apples.    Cherry, Peacii, Plum, and Raspberry.
Oroup 2. cla.sied   as    su->ceptible, Buckeye,  Ornamental  Plum, Orna- ' mental Cherry. Norway Maple. Lom- bardy Poplar. Hawthorne. Scyamore,
Flowering Quince,    Copper    Beech,' Japanese Mapl'-
Group   3,   occasionally   attacked; ^ Chestnut   Oak,  Pai Oak.  Barberry, Spira. Trumpet Vine,    Larch,    and Ash.
Oroup    4,    practically    immune: Evergreens, Magnolia, Tulip Poplar,' Hydrangea. Lilac, Forsythia, Privet. |
Wis^.ena. English Ivy, and Dogw:jod.
Tlie adults are most numerous during the months of July and early Au;-!u^l and are most active during the drtv. They prefer to leed m the direct sunlight and first attack the upper portions of the plant. They may eat the softer portions of the leaves, iilossoms, and ripening fruit.
The material which has been gives', results in the protection of shad.' and ornamental trees is lead ole.ite coated lead ar-euate, used at thl.' rate ot 1 pound to 12 and one- half gallons of water. Applicatijns should be made at weekly intervals. Only those trees which are most susceptible to attack should bi' sprayed with the lead arsenate sjIu- tion. Wisteria. Boxwood, Rhodo¬ dendron. Magnolia, and Evergre'n trees and shrubs should not IX' sprayed with this material.
There is no spray material which is entirely eflective in protecting flower blo.-soms from beetle injury without disfiguring the bloom. Choice flowers :''-,ri roses are often protected b-.- cheese cloth coverings.

Harrisburg On and afer Sept'-m- ber 1, producers and retail dealers who sell eggs directly to consumers in Pennsyhania will have to be- careful about the quality of eggs thpy sell as "fresh" according to a reminder from the Stale Depart¬ ment of Agriculture,
An amendment to the existing fresh eggs law provides standards for fresh eggs and prohibits Libel¬ ing eggs as fresh unless tiiey me": the inininium requirements set forth in the act.
Such terms as "new laid eggs" or ••strictly fresh eggs" have been u--'d at times in the past in merchan¬ dizing eggs which were really not fresh State offlciaU have been handicapped in controlling this practice because no siand.uds for fresh eggs were authorized  b;.- law.
The minimum requirements for fresh eggs as provided in the new legislation, are as follows lai The air cell must be not more than two- eighths of an inch in depth localized regular; ib' The yolk may be visible but not plainly visible ov mobile: ici The white must be firm and clear; idi Tlie germ must not show any visible development.
A tolerance of 10 per cent is al¬ lowed in wliole.sale lots of shell eggs for eggs which do not quite meet the minimum requirements.
Shell eggs which fail to meet tlie fresh egg standards must be sold simply as "eggs."'
