CALCIUM ARSENATE CALLED SURE CURE
FOR BOLL WEEVIL;~PLANT GOOD SEED
Proper Type of Cotton for Special Soil
or Climatic Conditions Will
Increase the Yield.
Preservation the cotton crop by
“dusting” the bolls and stalks with
calcium arsenate in order to extermi
nate the boll weevil, is the only sure
method of eliminating the pestilence,
according to Ira W. Williams, general
fielijl agent of the state board of ento
mology in an interview Saturday.
jOy observing this precaution and
allying the calcium arsenate on the
cotton plants during the months of July
and August, when the migrating period
of the weevil is at its height, Mr. Wil
liams asserted, a hundred per cent crop
of cotton can be raised in spite of the
weevil.
“The people of Georgia,” declared
Mr. Williams, “are thoroughly convinc
ed that a hundred per cent of a cotton
crop can be made in spite of the boll
weevil up to the migrating period of the
Vfcevil. which nlace the last of
July in some sections and during t
month of August. We hope to work
out a method of control after migra
tion sets in. The best possible control
would be for every man to dust with
calcium arsenate as directed by the
Georgia state board of entomology,
Then the weevils would not be numer
ous enough in any man's field for mi
gration to be injurious, sho<ul(l any
take place.
Neighbor Won’t Hurt.
“The man who dusted his cotton care
fully and thoroughly would not be dam
aged by his neighbor’s plantation, who
did not dust. Remember, however,
that this damage does not take place
until late in the season, and then it is
a damage largely to the bolls on the
top of the plant. It would also be a
great benefit the following year if ev
ery acre in cotton was dusted. There
would be so few weeviLs to go into hib
ernation that early in the season the
next year there would be very few wee
vils to attack the cotton plant.
“Outside of every man dusting, the
pext most advantageous thing to do is
for the farmer to have a cotton seed,
the bolls of which have n tough rind
that can not be easily punctured by the
weevil. We have done some work with
sea island along this line, and there
has been some improvement on other
varieties by different farmers. The
next most important thing is that the
farmers have a early maturing cotton
as possible so that he can get his cot
ton matured before the migration pe
riod. Then plant as early as possible
ami cultivate rapidly.

“J. L. SAUL FACING
TROUBLE” SAYS AD
We will admit that times are pretty
hard and there are not gobs of money
like there used to be, but when a mer
chant. like- J. L. Saul, who prides him
self on his honesty and integrity, and
who everybody suspected of making
money, receives a threatening tele
gram that says: “Pay Us," then things
are really pretty serious. In a circu
lar that is being put out by the Saul
store is reproduced a duy letter from
a wholesale concern who say they must
have money within twelve days, so in
response to this telegram and in order
to pay these people, J. L. Saul is throw
ing on thfT market to any who wish to
partake, his entire stock at sacrifice
prices. This is realy a knockout sale
beginning this week—Thursday—today.
He knocks out the prop from under all
prices and is selling goods at just any

PLANT A TREE
ON ARBOR DAY
Friday, December Ist, is Arbor Day
in Georgia. Plant out a tree some kind
on that day. Practically every state
in the Union observes some day in the
year as Arbor Day. The day varies.
In the South it is early winter. In the
North in the Spring. Trees are a pro
tection in cold weather, and a fine
shade in the summer. We get food
from fruit trees. Find some place
on your farm or lot to set out a few
fruit trees, and if shade trees are need
ed anywhere on the place, set them out.
WINDER HI PLAYS
CHAMPIONSHIP
Bright and early Wednesday morn
ing about seye;n£een Winder High Foot
Ball players and coach will entrain
for Hartwell, Ga., where they will ar
rive about ten o’clock. What are we
up to? How many Winder people
know that your high cchool team plays'
a game of -foot ball that day for the
championship of North Georgia. Our
boys are going Over to win this game,
but in order to do it they must have
your undivided loyal support. These
boys have worked hard and steadily
since the season began, and with good
training and your hearty support have
molded themselves into one of the best
high school teams in the state. Now
this same team next Wednesday in
Hartwell led by Capt. Melton and by
cheers from the throats of loyal sup
porters will certainly show you some
thing worth while.
Then after that game comes our bas
ket ball season. Last year we won
about fourteen out of sixteen games
and finished the season at the North
east Georgia State Basket Ball tourna
ment in Athens. That was a wonderful
little team, and witnesses at the games
were not only highly jmpressed with
the team Work but also with the splen
did clean and sportsmanlike manner
of each member.
We predict a very successful season
ahead of this team as our team will
be even stronger than last year.
Then after basket yall comes base
ball, track and the district meet.
Watch Winder. Now every time you
see one of those foot ball players, slap
him on the back, give him a cheering
word; then all meet in Hartwell on
Wednesday and that team will do the
rest.

MARY PICRFORD AT
STRAND 28 AND 29.
Will Be Seen in “Little Lord Fauntle
roy” Two Days.
At no time in her career has Mary
Pickford given more care to the choos
ing of a cost or to the assembling of
suitable types than for her next Unit
ed Artists film offering “Little Lord
Fauntleroy,” which will be the feature
at the Strand Theater two days, Tues-j
day and Wednesday, November 28 and
29th..
The leading character role, that of
the gouty and irrascible old Earl of
Dorineourt, is played by Claude Gil
lingwater, footlight veteran whose most
recent success was as the grouch in
"Three Wise Fools.” Mr. Gillingwater
has many other triumphs to his credit,
having been on the speaking stage for
more than twenty-five years. This rep
resents his first venture in pictures.
Joseph Dowling, who registered the
pinnacle of cinema fame in “The Mira
cle Man” is playing the part of Havish
am, the difinified, understanding and
shrewd solicitor whose analytical mind
does much to help solve the great diffi
culty which forms the climax of the
story.
Those three- lovable characters, the
grocer, the applowoman and the boot
black, are portrayed in their respective
order by James Marcus, Kate Price
and Fred Malatesta.
Rose Dione will play Minna, the ad
venturess who challenged Lord Fauut
leroy’s claim to the title.
| The role of The Stranger, husband
of the adventuress, will be taken by
Arthur Thalasso, who will be remem
bered for his w r ork*as Joe Sylva in Al
lan Dawn’s “Forbidden Thing.”
Much human interest will be added to
this elaborate Bickford play by the ap
pearance of a very beautiful St. Ber
nard dog named Douglas as the con
stant companion for Little Lord Fauut
leroy in Dorineourt castle.
All In all it is a great picture and
you will enjoy it.

THE FAMILY.
A GOOD DAY AT ,
FIFRST BAPTIST
Last Sunday stands out as a red let
ter day in the history of the Winder
First Baptist church. For some time a
considerable debt had been hanging
over the congregation and the question
of how to meet the obligations had been
discussed again and again. Recently, at
a meeting of the pastor and deacons, it
was the unanimous decision that we
could raise the amount needed to deur
our church erf debt. The pastor was to
preach upon “The Crisis,” last Sunday.
This he did in a powerful and convinc
ing sermon. The congregation, though
somewhat smaller than usual on ac
count of the (’. E. convention, when
asked to rathe in cash the amount of
indebtedness, in less than twenty min
utes laid upon the alter around SI2OO
to rid the church of debt. The joy of
giving, great sacrificial giving seemed
to seize upon all, and no happier or
more joyful congregation and pastor
has ever been in Winder.
And now, that the’church is free of
debt, it is the purpose of the pastor and
congregation that it shpll not any more
suffer from the burden or debt.
“Praise God fpom whom all blessings
flow,” as it was sung at the conclu
sion of the service seemed to have a
new significance as the congregation
clasped tfie hand of one another and
rejoiced in their new victory. X Y Z.
