A Texts Professor wants Congress
to ascertain what effect the moon
has upon growing crops, but Con
gress cannot solve such a problem
as that. The professor ought to
ask some old negro gardener or
some old granny about It. The
average congressman knows that the
full of the moon trikes the flsh bite,
but be does not know anything
about the why, or the wherefore.
An evangelist who Is stirring
.Waycross “from center to circum

spirit. It Is as easy to bellev that the
Lord uses the columns of a news

thunder and storms on Sinai.

WHEN THE TYPE SLIPS.
There Is nothing on the earth nor
in the heavens above nor the waters
undtor the earth that for genuine
humiliation, tragedy and chagrin
rolled Into one compares with the
things a printer can do with one’s
choicest bit of facelousness or most
brilliant epigram. One feels like
crawling Into a hole and pulling the
hole In after him when these things
happen, but after all, what’s the use!
Clyde Fitch had a better plan, for
he kept a scrap book ot all ifibe
typographical mistakes he could find,
especially those referring to himself.
Among these stories was that of a
friend who was editor of the Crest-
vllle Chronicle of Tennessee.
The editor wrote at the bead of
the editorial page:
Poultry taken In exchange for
subscriptions and advertising.
And In the paper the note ap
peared as ‘Poetry taken In ex
change.*
“The only person that profited by
this error was the office boy. He, for
the next fortnight, sold a quarter’s
worth of paper from the waste basket
every day."
Another clipping related how he
went to (he office of an editor friend
with the Intention of Inviting him
to lunch. He accepted the Invita
tion and while he was preparing to
leave the office a man entered. This
man wanted to know If the editor
read his own magazine. The editor
confessed that he did. The visitor
asked If he had read the last num
ber, then Just off the preBS. The ed
itor again pleaded guilty. “Well,
sir,” he persisted, "have you read
my poem on page 117—the poem
entitled ‘To Oabrlelle’?” The edi
tor said he had not read It since It
or’glnally passed through his hands.
“Then,” said the man, "I wish you
would do so now. In the poem
wrote the line: T love you better
than I love my life.’ ” "I see,” said
the editor, “and that was a very neat
line. Indeed." “I’ll take your word
for It,” responded the visitor some
what sharply, “but ft it wkv neat It
ought not to have been edited by the
professional humorist In your com
posing room.* |(s set It up so that
It reads: ’I love you better than I
tpve my wife.’ •’ “What!” ejacu
lated the editor. "That’s exactly
what my wife remarked when she
read It,” (he author Interrupted.

as did the army worm of the latter
sixties and early seventies. Some
figures obtainable show that in
Texas, where the/weevil first appear

Hold Is now ( infected, while In
Louisiana 100 per cent are Infected.
Of the states later attacked, Missis
sippi shows an Infection of 30'per
cent, Oklahoma 36, andi Arkansas
These figures bear out our sug
gestion that the weevil in time will
run Its course. Texas is less affletr
ed now than Louislna. . Georgia
will evidently have to pass under
the rod, and meanwhile Georgia
must prepare for the leas yean

THE WEEVILS ARE COMING I
The Mexican boll weevil has a
tabllshed an advance picket line
In Southern Alabama. This line
will cross into West Florida this
year and will doubtKas reach
Decatur county, In this stats, next
year. Within three years this horde
will penetrate to the heart of Geor
gia. That is, if it keeps up iU
march of about sixty mlleB a year.
Th* peat crossed the Mexican
border and entered Texas in 1893.
