CAN CLEAN UP MILLIONS
OVER NIGHT, AND NO QUES
TIONS BE ASKED.
ATLANTA, Ga.—Here's a Dixie
want ad.
Wanted: A man or woman wizard,
uniting the talents of Edison, Bur
bank, Ford and Old Dan Tucker.
Such a person has a rare chance to
save the south from possible starva
tion and untimate annihilation from
bug pests. Address Everybody in Dix
ie. and receive a $1,000,000 reward.
That sort of advertisement might
appropriately be broadcast to every
newspaper in the world, according to
agriculturists and cotton men here.
If ever a people, they say, needed to
get out of the bromide column and |
do something worth while that time
is at hand. Doubters may be referred !
to the recent report of the national!
department of agriculture, to the Geor
gia department of agriculture and to!
the agricultural department of the
Atlanta, Birmingham & Atlantic rail
road, the latter of which, particularly,
has already started its campaign |
against the boll weevil for the 1923
cotton crop. In a special communica
tion to W. W. Croxton, passenger |
traffic manager of the A. B. and A.|
railway, Dr. A. M. Soule, president of |
the Georgia State Agricultural col-|
lege, emphasizes the vital importance
of immediate preparations in fighting
the boll weevil, which has devastated |
the cotton fields of the south. 3
Destroyed 6,277,000 Bales. ‘
Cotton experts here, based on stn-]
tistics compiled from various sources,
say that the boll weevil long known |
as a destrover of potential wealth and |
bugaboo of the cotton growers|
throughout Dixie, prevented the south|
from marketing 6,277,000 bales last
vear. The value of the cotton lint and |
the seed that would have been ginned
would have been $610,341,000 based on |
the price of these products December |
Ist last. ‘
A careful study oi the damages tol
cotton by the boll weevil and other!
causes has been concluded by W. R.|
Tucker, agricultural agent of the A.|
B. and A. railway. whose report shows|
that during the thirteen years 1‘)09-i
21, the hypothetical value of the pre-|
vented production of cotton from all|
causes totaled $11,473,599,000. Of that|
amount the boll weevil damage|
amounted to $3,102,152,000. The farm
value of cotton, including seed, pro
duced in those thirteen years aggre- .
gated $15,646,523,006 or an average of |
$1,203,578,700. |
Actual production of cotton in those |
thirteen vears aggregated 159,648,000 |
bales, while damage from all sources |
aggregated 109,434,000 bales of the]
boll weevil is credited with preventing |
production of 27,776,000 bhales _\'ear]y,i
while the reduction of cotton in the!
United States for those years therc-i
fore aggregated 269,082,000 bales |
vearly, while the reduction of thc:
crops because of damage from alli
sources averaged 8,418,000 bales an-|
nually and the boll weevil's average
toll 2,213,538 bales yearly. From point/
of loss in production through all|
causes 1921 was a record year. |
Wizard Yet to Answer. |
To think, it is pointed out here, thati
hundreds of thousands of worthless
idle men and women are living by’
fair means or foul in the United States
today who are constantly complaining |
that all worth-while things have been !
accomplished, and there ils no uppor-i
tunity now for one to do anything.|
A man who could banish the infini
tesimal boll weevil could clean up
millions over night and no questions
asked. And the pity of it all is the]
wizard doesn’t answer when he is
paged ever so loudly. 1

BIG WHALE KNOCKS |
TWO MEN FROM SHIP
Four-Foot Hole Torn in Vessel's Side
When Huge Fish Rams Boat.
When an Italian fishing boat was
struck by a big whale in the ocean
near Rockport, Mass., two men were
knocked overboard and a ‘four-foot
nole was punched in the ship’s side.
The disabled ship was towed to shore.
The ship arrived on the fishing
grounds and was preparing to take in
a mackerel seine when the whale ap
proached. Apparently unable to see in
the semi-darkness the big fish struck
the vessel amidships. The men were
rescued.

Raise Alligators on Farm
- N O T TT g o s, SO,
|
i You can sce an alligator any day
|you please in Florida: in their natural
;'haums if vou are ambitious, in the
muscums, in curio shops, in hotel gar
'dens sometimes, where in concrete
tanks they are provided instead of
gold fish for the beguilement of the
guests, and sometimes you find them
in the studios of enterprising photog
‘raphers and you can have vour photo
graph taken with one, if you wish, to
cend back home to the folks in Cal
gary or Bangor.
But notwithstanding all this a visit
to an alligator farm, where you can
stare to your heart’s content at the
dreadful, weird beasts and learn first
hand about their habits, is one of the
most thrilling of the many thrilling
experiences that tourists to Florida
have, says a writer in the Philadelphia
Record.
There is usually a showman to take
vou round and give you all the natural
history about the animals that you will
want to know. The only thing to re
member is that most of his observa
tions have been made of the alligator
in captivity, and that the discrepancies
between his statements and those of
established men of science are due to
this fact.
At one well-known “farm,” where
you pay a quarter to go through and
look as long as you wish, the show
man has provided a big thrill as a
starter in the long narrow box at the
entrance which bears the inscription,
“Emergency Only—Gun, Ax, Net,
Lasso.” It has never been opened, but
it does certainly put a spirit of ad
venture into the visit that you couldn’t
get if the box was not there.

ARE PURSE RAIDS!
CONSTANT CHANGES IN DRESS
DENOUNCED BY PASTOR.
BURDEN INTOLERABLE.
CHICAGO, lill.—ln a sermon inl
which he denounced the mnst:ml‘
changes in women’s ‘fashions and
dress as being “little less than immoral
and insane,” the Rev. John Thompson,
pastor of the First Methodist church,
Sunday issued a plea to women to re
tain the short skirt in preference to‘
the long one now coming into style]
after a lapse of several years. |
The short skirt, according to Dr.
Thompson, is the best dress ever de
vised for women. He describes it as
being the only fashion lending toward
sanitation, hygiene and good health.
The long skirt with the panels sweep
ing the ground and stairways is a
menace to health, he said.
Men Victims, Too.
“The shingles around a man's neck
and wrists indicate he is a victim of
fashion,” said the Rev. Mr. -'l‘hompaun.l
“But women are more so. We need
tashions as standards, but the constant
changes are little less than immoral
and insane,
“There is no immorality in dress.
To the man with the goatish, swinish,
sewer quality of mind nearly every
thing is immoral. The constant chang
es in dress places a burden on the
wage earner that is intolerable.
“How can a young hushand with a
modest income afford to keep his wife
up to the dictates of fashion’s stand
ards? Who can ever tell how many
embezzlements and perjuries have
been committed to keep up this race?
“Then, the moral peril to working
girls cannot be estimated. How can
they be expected with their modest
incomes to follow the constantly
changing styvles? What a temptation
to commercialize the body and set a
price on chastity. Our fashion leaders
are carrving a responsibility almost
akin to that of the ‘procuresses to the
lords of 11(’”.'
Tribute to Short Skirts.
“The short skirt is the best ever
devised. The woman of ancient Greece
'were among the most beautiful the
human race ever has seen because
‘they wore garments that permitted
freedom of physical movement.
“Qur {ashion leaders are simply
‘t!)uosting‘ trade. The movement is mer
cenary. [t is a wily method of getting
money irom those who have no mon
ic_\' to waste in satisfying the whimsical
caprices of fashion's changes.”
| Dr. Thompson announced that he
!\\as in favor of a movement to form
'a lcague to fight against these freak
lish changes oi fashions. He asked the
‘women who are supporting the Young
Women’s Christian Association and
other organizations which are set to
guard girlhood in the right way to
take the lead in such a movement.

| HOW BETTER THAN PILLS?
The question has been asked: In
what way are Chamberlain’s Tablets
superior to the ordinary cathartic and
liver pills? Our answer is, they are
easier and more pleasant to take and
their effect is so gentle that one hard
ly realizes that it is produced by a
medicine. Then, they not only move
the bowels but improve the appetite
and strengthen the digestion.—adv.
In area Turkey is not much larger
than California.
in alcohol, alligator skins, skulls and
eggs, and the showman will pause
there if you wish and give you a brief
lecture on the habits of alligators.
One look at the skull assures you
that the alligator must use his jaws
more than his brain. The skull is prac
tically all jaw, the brain space being
no biggcr than a thimble. The teeth
are large and most efficient in appear
ance. The lecturer says that when one
decays a new one pushes it out and
takes its place (the only really pamn
flcss dentistry in the world), so the
happy alligator always has a complete
set of 80 perfect teeth and no dentist
ihills.
~ The egg is the size of a duck’s egg,
‘though narrower and longer, and the
average number in a setting is about
thirty. The nests vary much in size
and form, some looking like an acci
dental pile of dead vegetation and oth
ers being large and compact and con
ical. When the eggs are laid the nest
is covered over and this keeps the
temperature pretty even. Eggs expos
ed to the great range of temperature
of a swamp would probably be de
stroved. It is believed that the heat
and moisture produced by the decay
ing vegetation of the nest is what
hatches the eggs. For some hours pre
vious to the hatching the young alli
gators make a curious squeaking
sound inside the shell, probably for
the purpose of attracting the attention
of the ‘female alligator, who will open
the nest in time for the newly hatched
little ones to make their escape.
At this special farm the ‘gators”
really seem to know their names when
the owner calls. “Here, Adam; here,
Old Boy!” he shouted, leaning over
the edge of the pen to prove this, and
when an old brute of a beast delib
erately crawled out of the crowd and
“came a running’ a little Aapper gasp
ed, “How sweet!” The secret of this,
though, is simply patience and gentle
ness. After long training they get to
know that when their names are called
it means food, for there is always a
picce of meat for them then.
It -is interesting to hear how these
“farmers”’ obtain the alligators for
their farms. There are men whose
husigess it is to supply them. The al
ligator holes are along the banks of
ithc lakes and rivers, more than 10
feet deep. The hunter digs in as far
!as he can, then takes his pole, which
}has a hook on the end, and runs that
‘into the hole. The animal, if he is
‘there, bites the hook every time and
holds on to it, and then the men pull
him out. As soon as they get his head
out, one man jumps on to it to hold
iit. and the other ties the jaw. The
‘opening power of the jaw is very weak
‘but the crushing power is terrific. The
alligator is then drawn out farther un
‘til his front legs can be tied, a little
farther and the hind legs are tied, and
finally the tail, which is able to strike
powerful blows, is strapped to a board
'or a pole
. One day a negro came to an alliga
tor farm and asked the “farmer” how
much he would pay for a three-foot
alligator. The man told him $3.00.
The negro went out and returned with
the ’gator in a bag, but seemed in a
| great hurry to get his money and get
I:m'zxy; wanted to catch the next trol
ley, he said. When the new owner
opened the bag the alligator was over
five feet long, so he gave him his mon
ey and he fled. But when the animal
was finally taken from the sack it was
discovered that it was a three-foot al
ligator, as the darky had said—three
feet was all it had. “One foot short
instead of .three ‘feet long,” the new
owner says when he tells the tale.
There are three months when the
alligators are hibernating that they
eat nothing at all, but the rest of the
time they must be fed twice a week.
But when vou consider the tourists
I])a.\*sinu through who nay their quar
ters to see these aninals first-hand,
;thc_\' more than pay {or their keep.
