HOW TO USE CALCI UM ARSENATE To Control the Boll Weevil. Use only pure calcium arsenate in the form of dry powder. Apply only in the dust form without mixing with anything. Apply only with dusting machines made for dusting cotton. Dust only when the air is still. Best results come from night dusting. Use fire to seven pounds of calcium arsenate per acre for each application. Start dusting in any field as soon as weevils are in all parts of that field. Some fields need dusting ear lier than others. Keep cotton thoroughly covered un til weevils are under control. This means dust every four days after be ginning until three or four applica tions have been made. Then stop poisoning until weevils are bad again. If you have heavy rain in a few hours after dusting, dust the same field immediately. Do not expect to kill all the wee- vils. Calcium arsenate only keeps them down enough to permit a crop to be set. Do everything you can to make your yield per acre high. It costs as much to poison an acre whether it makes a quarter of a bale or a bale. Leave some unpoisoned cotton so you can tell whether the poisoning is doing the work or not. See your county agent or write the Georgia State College of Agriculture, Athens, Ga., if there is further infor mation that you want. Sometimes weevils are in all parts of a field before the cotton has any squares. If this is true, dust the cot ton with calcium arsenate once or twice just as the squares begin to be large enough to be punctured. This early dusting may be done by sifting through a sack, oi; guano horn with cloth over the end, etc., and one or two pounds of person per acre will do at that time. Democratic Prosperity vs. Republican Disaster. When Woodrow Wilson went into office as President in 1913, the es timated wealth of the United States was $180,000,000,000; when he retired at the end of eight year t s it was $300,- 000,000,000, a gain of 215 billion. The present estimated wealth of the United States is $225,000,000,000, show ing a decrease of. $75,000,000,000 in the fifteen months a Republican adminis tration has been in power. These figures were recently stated by Senator King, democrat, Utah, upon the floor of the Senate. They are approximately correct. The greater part of this loss has been sustained by the farmers of this country in land values, agricultural, 'products and live stock values, al though a part of this loss has fallen upon every industry and business and upon every form of property values. All the arguments that can or will be made by Republican speakers can not wipe out or materially change these figures. They are a, concrete illustration within the understanding of everybody of what it means in the way of prosperity to have a Demo cratic administration and what it means in the way of disaster to have a reactionary Republican administra tion. COL. A. O. BLALOCK Brings First Figs of Sea son to Atlanta on Tuesday. Col. A. O. Blalock, formerly collector of internal revenue in Georgia, and who is a progressive farmer, banker and merchant, and now a candidate for commissioner of agriculture in the Democratic) primary, on Tuesday claim ed the distinction of delivering to At lanta the first figs of the season. Colonel Blalock has »ahout one-half acre of figs and pomegranites in front of his home, from which he antici pates to sell in the neighborhood of five hundred dollars’, worth of figs this year; those he sold Tuesday brought $1 per basket.

Atlanta, Ga., June 15.—Prosecution to the full limit of the law will follow the attempt of any person or persons who interfere with the operation of the Atlana, Birmingham and Atlantic railway. This fact is emphasized here both by officials of the road and federal court "authorities, who state that no expense or effort will be spared to safe guard the operation of trains and main tain regular schedules. There is now outstanding an offer of $500 reward authorized by the Unit ed States district court for evidence that convicts any person or persons who interfere wtih the operation of the A., B. & A. railway. This offer of reward was made more than a year ago, and is still In effect, it was an nounced by court officials the other day. A striking example of the road’s de termination to prosecute, backed by both state and federal courts, was shown a few days ago in the convic tion of O. C. Fairfield on the charge of bridge burning by a Crisp county jury at Cordele. Fairfield, with a number of other for mer employees of the A., B. & A. rail way on strike, had been indicted for taking part in the shooting which re sulted in the death of Engineer Reed while he was on duty at Fitzgerald, as well as making other attempts to in terfere with the operation of the rail way. The {revelations of the Fairfield matter, it is pointed out here, serve to emphasize to the patrons of the road the importance of strictest diligence in reporting to| railway officials anything having even the appearance of attempt ing to interfere with the operation of the railway. Any such attempt which succeeds, it is shown, may directly af fect patrons by delays in the move ment of traffic. NOTICE TO TEACHERS The regular state examination for teachers will take place on Friday and Saturday, August 4 and 5, 1922. All teachers who had not a professional li cense issued |by) the state superintend ent of schools and who have not a li cense issued and renewed in this coun ty should prepare to take either the examination, or the renewal reading course, if they expect to teach in this epunty. Special examinations, given later than the date set for the regular examinations, do not ihave the same value as those given at the appoint ed time, and salaries 'on the schedule are arranged accordingly. The reading course for those who desire to renew their certificates is as follows: Primary and General Elementary 1. Manual for Georgia Teachers. 2. Kendall ]and Myrick’s How to Teach the Fundamental Subjects. Southern School Book Depository, 121 Auburn Avenue, Atlanta, Ga., $1.80. 3. Dresslar’s School Hygiene, South ern School Book Dep., $1.20. High School and Supervisory 1. Manual for Georgia Teachers. 2. Rapeer’s Consolidated Rural Schools, Southern School Book Depos itory, 121 Auburn Avenue, Atlanta, Ga., $1.75. 3. Parker’s .Methods of Teaching in High Schools, Ginn & Co., Com merce Hall, Atlanta, Ga., $1.80. A six weeks’ course at any of the standard summer schools will auto matically renew professional or first grade certificates, provided the teach er shows her certificate from the sum mer school authorities that she has completed her courses in education. This, of course, means that the renewal is possible If the certificate has not been allowed to become out of date, through failure in the past to renew 'at the proper time. It is hoped that all teachers who avail themselyes of these examinations. Special examinations will probably not be given to) those teachers who have from year to year failed to take the regular examinations. “BOB WHITE” An Enemy of Corn Root- Worm. KATO ACCEPTS PREMIERSHIP Comes Into Power With Avowed Pur» pose of Fulfilling Washington Arms Conference Pledges Tokio, Japan.—Admiral Baron Kato has accepted the premiership. His non-party cabinet comes into power with the avowed intention of carrying out the agreements of the Washing ton conference to the letter. The one condition on which Kato ac cepted the premiership was agreement of army leaders to reduce the esti mated army budget by 40,000,000 yen fmd to adopt a general policy of re trenchment. Kato will have the sup port of the Seyukai majority party in the diet and the Kenkenkai, the larg est group of peers in the house of lords. It is understood that Shideha- ra has the refusal of the foreign office portfolio in Kato’s cabinet. Washington.—The accession of Ad miral Baron Kato to the premiership of Japan is looked on in many quar ters as not only a notable triumph for the principles of the Washington arms conference, but in a broader sense as the beginning of a new day of con ciliatory policies in the Tokio govern ment’s relations with the rest of the world. Advices received by Japanese ele ments here have convinced them that Baron Kato will accept the premier's post only if he had assurances of suf ficient support to keep the militaristic group in Japan in check. It is as sumed these guarantees of support have been given, and that the signifi cance of his acceptance therefore is Bven greater than press dispatches in dicated. Although himself one of the most dis tinguished of Japanese naval officers, the new premier is said to have long held the view that Japan’s place in the world could best be filled if she avoid ed aggressive acts and pursued a for eign policy based primarily on the maintenance of peace. He is under stood to be particularly anxious that good relations be restored between Ja pan and China, a fact which in itself Is regarded here as making his accept ance of the premiership a development .if first importance in far eastern poli tics. Even since Barton Kato’s service in Washingotn as head of the Japanese delegation to the arms conference, he Is said to have been working assidu ously for full acceptance of the confer ence program in Tokio, a result which, It is suggested here, may have made it necessary in the present disturbed con ditions, politically, there to take the helm of government himself. MID ROYAL POMP ALEXANDER WEDS PRINCESS MARIE Serbia And Jugo-Slavia Bonds Are Tightened By Royal Wedding Belgrade.—King Alexander of Serbia and his bride, Princess Marie, of Jugo slavia, united in a royal wedding, which for its pomp and adherence to all the traditions of eastern splendor, was the most brilliant event the Bal kans have witnessed in years, will leave shortly for their honeymoon at an old castle at Slovenia. The Belgrade cathedral where the ceremony was performed by the Ser- bian Patriach, was a dazzling picture as the royal couple took their places before the altar. Gorgeously clad priests of the Greek Orthodox church participated in the rite, while hundreds of the nobility, foreign legates and officers of the army, clad in pictures que uniform, contributed to the color ful picture. Steamer And Crew Reported As Lost Beaumont, Texas.—The steamer Olympic and its crew of five men has been lost in the gulf, according to Captain Conley of the schooner Mar garita, which arrived here from the West Indies. The two ships left Santo Domingo for Beaumont nine days ago. The Olympic was last seen the first night out. China’s Presidency Resumed By Hung Pekin.—Li Yuan-Hung, who, five year’s ago, was forced out of the pres idency of China by the militarists, ar rived here recently and resumed the post of the nation’s chief executive. Li came from Tien-Tsin in response to the call of the revived Republican parlia ment, which recently met there, that he agai nassume the direction of Chi nese affairs. The bob-white eats the adults or beetles of the corn rootworm which lay the eggs that later become larvae or worm and infest the corn. As many as 12 of the beetles, according to the Bureau of Entomology of the United States Department of Agricul ture, have been found in the stomach of one bob-white, 'The redheaded wood pecker, niglithawk, cardinal, king bird, and phoebe also eat the beetles and reduce the damage done by the Southern corn rootwofm. Millionaire’s Legal Battle Is Endec Chicago.—The end of the legal bat tle beteween Elida Piza, Costa Rican beauty, and her former husband, Her bert P. Crane, millionaire iron mas ter, was 3een in a Kane county order permitting Miss Piza to take her three- year-old son, Antonio Rafael, out of the state. The petition was uncon tested by attorneys for Mr. Crane, who, during the divorce proceedings, demanded that Ills former wife be re strained from taking the child from the jurisdiction of the court. The case has been a Iona one HARDING NEUTRAL ON SHOALS OFFERS REPORT THAT PRESIDENT OP POSED FORD PROPOSAL IS EMPHATICALLY DENIED APPEAL FORJARLY ACTION Senator Norris Criticises "Propaganda” For Acceptance Of Ford Offer In Tilt With Witness Washington.—Prospects for early action by the house on proposed legis lation for development of the govern ment’s projects at Muscle Shoals, Ala., were recently brightened by authori tative announcement from the white house that administration officials were willing and anxious for house leaders to act on the matter with a free hand. President Harding, it was said, has taken no position in opposition or sup port of Henry Ford’s proposal, believ ing that it was a question for legisla tive decision only. At the same time, it was further explained, the president realizes the great possibilities for the national good that might result by ex ploitation of the Alabama properties, ir respective of the form such develop ment might take. What action the house will take, Representative Mondell, the Republi can leader announced, would be de cided in conference of majority mem bers. Until that time, he told Rep resentative Garrett of Tennessee, act ing Democratic leader, no more such statements should be given respecting Muscle Shoals questions. Mr. Mon dell added, however, that the decision would be formulated “in the near fu ture." Mr. Garrett told his colleague the Republicans would have an interesting time If they brought in the ship sub sidy bill and refused to give'consid eration to the disposal of the Muscle Shoals units which promised, if al lowed further development, to produce cheaper fertilizers for the farmers. Later an appeal to the Republicans for early consideration of Muscle Shoals legislation was made by Repre sentative Bankhead (Democrat) of Ala bama. All the great agricultural ro- ganizations of the country and busi ness organizations of the Mississippi valley, he said, were vitally interested in the Ford proposition and were in sistent that some final action be taken before the end of the present session. A nearer approach to termination of hearings on the various proposals for Muscle Shoals was made by the senate agricultural committee. Chairman Norris of Nebraska called W. G. Wal do, consulting engineer for the Ten nessee River Improvement association, for final examination and later an nounced the committee’s public ses sions probably would be ended- this week. SEWAGE DISPOSAL ON GERMAN PLAN FOR U. S. CITIES Berlin.—Five American cities, Balti more, Milwaukee, Chicago, Indianap olis and Canton, Ohio—will soon have new German sewage disposal plants which develop a valuable fertilizing material. Plants such as have been sold to the American cities already are in op eration in Hanover and Frankfort-Am- Main. As they are introduced in oth er German centers, they are expected to overcome the nation’s fertilizer shortage. The process of fertilizer manufac ture works on the centrifugal princi ple, dewatering and purifying the sew age simultaneously. The disposal plants are extremely compact, and eliminate the large sew age beds used in existing processes. The plant at Frankfort, a city of 700,- 000 population, covers about the same area as a small suburban cottage. Hundreds Are Drowned In River Floods San Salvador, Republic of Salvador.— Three hundreds persons are known to have been drowned and many persons more missing following an abnormal rise in the Acelhuate and Arenal riv ers, which overflowed their banks and joined together in one stream, inun dating the Candelaria district of this city. Several houses were swept away by the raving torrent. Takes No Steps To End Coal Strike Washington.—The statement was made at the White House that the ad ministration is not contemplating any important, immediate or drastic action in the continuing nation-wide coal strike. The administration in spite of the continuation of the strike is said to consider that its best course would be to refrain from any action other than that which would be considered help ful by parties to the controversy. The position, it was indicated, will be main tained as long as the situation shows plenty of coal for all purposes. TERRIFIC WINDHITSNEWYORK As Trees Topple In Fury Of Blinding Storm, Death Strikes Fast Over Wide Area New York.—A violent storm, accom panied by shifting winds that reached a velocity of eighty-eight miles an hour, took the lives of over fifty persons, injured more than a hundred and caused enormous property loss in the metropolitan section recently. Five persons were killed and more than forty hurt when the wind caught a huge ferris wheel at Clason Point amusement park and crushed it to the ground. A woman and her 7-year-old daugh ter, were crushed to death, and sev eral other persons injured when an oak tree blown by the wind crashed through the roof to the crowded dining room of the Red Lion inn, on Boston Post road, carrying with it an old- fashioned stone chimney. •; The bodies of eight canoeists, caught in Long Island sound off City Island at the height of the storm, were washed ashore after nightfall, and thirty others are still unfound. Miss Edna Smith, 17, walking with a companion along the reservoir road, at Ossining, was blown into the water and drowned.

Neither Rick enbacker nor any member of the party was injured. Hoover Says Coal Rise Is Stopped Washington.—A statement from Sec retary Hoover declaring “the essential thing about coal prices is that the run away market has been stopped" was the latest development in connection with agitation in the senate over the strike situation and the plan adopted by the secretary for home purposes at a fair level during the tie-up of the industry. Formal Request Made Of Henry Ford Detroit, Mich.—Decision to not make a formal request to Henry Ford that he become a candidate for president of the United States “for several weeks at least,” has been made by the ex ecutive committee of the Dearborn “Ford-for-President” Club, it is an nounced by Rev.

Lee, grandson of the famous Confederate chieftain, has grown worse, his physicians announce. Fear Expressed For Life Of Lenine London.—From sources which cannot be doubted, it is learned that Pre mier Lenine’s condition up to a few days ago was regarded at Moscow as critical and probably hopeless, al though there is no word as to what change the intervening days may have brought. These advices state that the recent stroke of Premier Lenine was one of cerebral paralysis. He had lost speech on June 1 and was ex pected to die any day. Those about him being certain that the end could not be prolonged beyond a few weeks. Washington.—A new fight against ! Senator Truman H. Newberry for hie I activities in revising the naval appro- ■ priations bill is brewing in congress. A group in both the senate and house are preparing to offer determin ed resistance to the attempts of New berry in slashing the Mare Island pro vision of the appropriations measure. The Mare Island paragraph is the “pet" of Representatives Kelley of Michigan and Madden, of Illinois, who drew up the appropriations bill in the house and obtained its passage. ^While the bill was in committee in the senate the Mare Island appropriation wjIs cut from $750,000 to $250,000. Senator King, democrat, of Utah, has started the fight against the bill with a formal statement referring to the cut. “I shall not call attention to what the committee would do with the five hundred thousand dollars taken away from Mare Island," he said. “But a comparison of the house and senate bills will furnish some enlightment. “This bill should be, and I am sure will be, fairly and impartially consid ered without reference to geography or political considerations." He served clear notice of the fight when he said: “Mare Island is not going to be abandoned and the distin guished senator from Michigan, Mr. Newberry, and his colleagues who voted with him in committee should reconcile themselves to that fact. “I regret that the committee fram ing the bill have dealt in such an im politic, not to say unfair manner, with Mare Island. “The appropriation for dyking and dredging has been reduced from $7&q,’ 000 to $250,000. It would seem that the scheme devised some time ago in the nevy department and aided and abetted by some eminent persons in and out of congress to wreck and de stroy Mare Island, which is undoubt edly the most efficient of the naval establishments, is still being prose cuted. More than $35,000,000 of the taxpayers’ money have been expended in building up the Mare Island plant. “I am advised that the distinguished senator from Michigan, Mr. Newberry, gave the weight of his great influence to this plan to destroy Mare Island.’’ WHAT IS TO BE THE FUTURE OF AMERICAN R. R. TRANSPORTATION? ROBERT S. BINKERD Assistant to the Chairman of the Association of Railway Executives. Mr. Binkerd, in discussing the quea tion of national railroad transportation, before the South Carolina Bankers’ As sociation at Asheville, N. C., said: “If the people of the United States want a new period of railroad development —adequate terminals, faster car move ment and electrification for heavy traf fic—two things must be realized: 1, that the executives capable of planning and operating these facilities must be allowed a reasonably free hand; 2, that the enormous sums of money required to make these improvements must be insured a fair and reasonable return.” Harding To Halt Henry Ford Deal Washington.—President Harding is understood to have taken a determined stand against action by congress at this time on pending bills for disposal of the government’s nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals, Ala. The views of the president, as outlined, it was stated, to Representative Mondell, Wyoming, the republican leader, at the white house, were conveyed to the republican steering committee, charged with the task of framing the legislative pro gram of the house.
