j Washington.—Carrying a Japanes*
(exclusion provision against which the
(Japanese government has protested
■ vigorously, the Johnson Immigration
!Mll was passed by the house, 822 to
7L
[ No effort was made to eliminate
[the Japanese section, which provoked
-only brief and perfunctory discus
'slon. There was nothing to indcate
'that any of the opposition votes were
directed at the Asiatic policy contain
ed In the bill, but rather against the
provision fixing the 1890 census as
■the basis of the two per cent quota,
which was adopted.
While the senate was getting back
to its consideration of the Immigra
tion question at a night session, Re
jpubllcan leaders issued a call for a
■party conference at which an effort
will be made to agree upon a policy
both as to Japanese exclusion and
Jthe census quota basis.
\ The existing law, which expires on
next June 30, fixed the quota ai
three per cent on the 1910 census
jand had no provision relating to Jap
anese immigration, which for years
|has been regulated by the “gentle-
Imen’s agreement’’ with Japan. Sec
retary Hughes has urged that tht
(American government continue to rec
ognize this agreement and the Japa
nese be placed on the same quota
(basis as the nationals of other coun
itries.
Representative Johnson, of Wash
ington. chairman of the house immi
igration committee, announced that
when the time comes for the house
and senate to reconcile their differ
ences on immigration legislation the
managers on the part of the house
will insist to the end on the reten
tion of the Japanese exclusion provis
ion.
Ambassador Hanihara’s letter to
(Secretary Hughes, which was trans
mitted to congress, protesting against
any exclusion feature, was not men
tioned in house debate on the bill.
When this proposal is reached in the
senate, however. Senator Johnson,
■Republican, California, and other sen
ators from the Pacific coast plan tc
(take formal cognizance of the letter
and redouble their efforts to have an
(exclusion feature written Into the
;law.

GRAFTERS TO FACE
TRIAL, SAYS HUGHES
PUNISHMENT OF EVERY DISHON
EST OFFICIAL IS PLEDGED
BY HUGHES
HAS PRAISEJOR HARDING
Secretary Os State Asserts There Are
Crooks In Every Party, And
Some Get Into Office
New York.—Every dishonest offl
cial and every perverter of adminis
trative authority, in or out of office,
will be brought to justice without
sacrifice of constitutional procedure,
Secretary of State Hughes promised
in a key-note address as temporary
chairman of the New York Repub
lican state convention at town hall
here. His address is regarded here
as an authentic statement of admin
istration views.
Hughes declared that there are
crooks in every party and that now
and then ODe of them gets into of
fice.
“Let wrongs be exposed and punish
ed, but let no partisan Pecksniffs af
fect a ‘holier than thou’ attitude,” he
remarked. “The oorrputing currency
may be found in democratic satchels.”
Hughes took especial pains to coun
teract the effect of the Portland
speech of Senator Pepper which criti
cized the “bad appointments” of the
late President Harding. He repeated
ly emphasized the achievements which
tool; place under Harding.
As to the Republican policies for
the coming campaign, Hughes declar
ed that: “President -Coolidge is his
own platform.”
His first message to congress,
Hughes said, charted the course of
the party.
“No other platform is needed. The
best assurance of the future is the
character of President Coolidge.”
Midnight Kissing Best, Says Doctor
New York. —“Do your kissing at
midnight," is Dr. Donald B. Arm
strong’s advice to those who must in
dulge in osculation. Following a study
■ of tuberculosis in relation to kisses,
I Armstrong classes them as an “ex
tra-hazardous occupation.” Morning
kisses are most dangerous of all, Dr.
Armstrong told a regional confer
ence of the American Red Cross,
here, with the element of danger les
sening as the day wears on. The
“goodnight kiss,” he admitted, is not
so bad.
Opposes Freedom For Philippine*
Washington.—The granting of im
mediate independence to the Philip
pines by the United States “would be
a heartless betrayal of our trust and
result in turning over the twelve
million people of these islands to
strife and disorder in the near fu
ture,” Major General Leonard Wood,
governor-general of the islands, has
reported to Secretary Weeks.
State Right Idea Indorsed By Coolidge
Washington.—Retention of sover
eignty by the states is essential to
maintenance of the founding princi
ples of the nation and its govern
ment, President Coolidge declared in
an address at the unveiling of the
Arizona memorial stone in the Wash
ington monument.
Hughes Ignored By Immigration Bill
Washington.—Disregarding the op
position of Secretary of State Hughes,
the senate has adopted the amend
ment to the immigration bill exclud
ing Japanese, thereby creating a del
icate international situation and add
ing to the differences between the ad
ministration and congress.

ELISHA: TEACHER AND STATES
MAN
LESSON TEXT—II Kings 6:15-23.
GOLDEN TEXT—“Be not overcome
of evil, but overcome evil with Good.”
—Rom. 12:21.
PRIMARY TOPIC—God Caring for
Elisha.
JUNIOR TOPlC—Elisha’s Goodness
to His Enemies.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP
IC —How to Turn Enemies Into Friends.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP
IC—What Elisha Meant to His Nation.
I. Elisha, Elijah's Successor (I Kings
19:15-21; II Kings 2:2-15.)
1. His Anointing (I Kings 19:15-21).
In obedience to the Lord’s command,
Elijah went forth from his hiding
place In Horeb to anoint Elisha as
prophet. While Elisha was plowing
with oxen Elijah passed by and cast
his mantle upon him.
2. His Training (II Kings 2:2-8).
Elisha came into the life of Elijah In
the field, where he called him forth
from the plow, and there was thence
forth real friendship between them,
such that Elisha clung to his master to
the very last, in spite of three urgent
requests for him to remain behind.
3. Elisha’s Double Portion (II Kings
2:12-15).
(1) Elisha’s cry (v. 12). "The chariot
of Israel, and the horsemen thereof.”
This implies that Elijah was the true
national defense.
(2) Elisha takes his place (v. 13).
The taking of Elijah’s mantle Indicates
ills assumption of his place as a
prophet.
(3) Elijah’s spirit upon Elisha (w.
14, 15). This is proven by the use of
his power to divide the Jordan. Also
It is proven by the testimony of the
sons of the prophets.
11. Elisha’s Ministry (II Kings 3:10).
1. The Trenches Filled With Water
(Chap. 3:16-20). Jehoram, in alliance
with the king of Judah, went against
the Moabites. His army was in great
straits for lack of water. When they
appealed to Elisha, he bade them show
their faith by digging trenches in des
ert soil. The Lord sent water to fill the
trenches.
2. Increase of the Widow’s Oil
(Chap. 4:1-7). This woman’s husband
had died, leaving a debt, and the cred
itor was about to make bondmen of
her two sons. Elisha caused the scant
supply of the widow’s oil to be so In
creased that she sold enough to pay
the debt
3. The Shunamlte’s Son Restored
(Chap. 4:8-37). Because of hospitality
shown Elisha, he sought to help his
hostess by promising that the Lord
would give her a child. The joy
brought by the fulfillment of the
prophet’s announcement was short
lived, for while yet but a lad he was
taken away by death. In her sorrow
she went to Elisha and he restored the
child's life.
4. Heals Deadly Pottage (Chap. 4:
38-41). In time of famine they made
a vegetable soup from whatever grow
ing plants they could find. By mistake
a poisonous plunt had been gathered.
By putting meal into the pot, the soup
was made healthful.
5. Fed One Hundred Men (Chap 4:
42-44). To the astonishment of his at
tendant, he fed one hundred men with
twenty barley cakes and a sack of un
cooked grain.
6. He Healed Naaman, the Leper
(Chap. 5:1-19). At the Instance of a
captive Jewish maid, Naaman, the
great Syrian general, was brought
Into touch with Elisha. Without even
coming to see Naaman Elisha, through
his servant, bade him dip seven times
in the Jordan. He obeyed and was in
stantly healed.
7. Recovers the Lost Axe (Chap.
6:1-7). While the sons of the prophets
were cutting timber to enlarge their
quarters, the Ijead of a borrowed axe
flew from the handle and was lost in
the muddy waters. When shown the
place Elisha cust a stick into the wa
ter and the axe floated to the sur
face.
111. Elisha’s Heavenly Defenders
(II Kings 6:8-23).
This shows the secret of Elisha’s
power.
1. The Syrian King Sorely Troubled
(vv. 8-12). The king directing war
fare against Israel. He locuted camps
so as to intercept Israel’s army.
Through Elisha God made known the
enemy’s movements (v. 9).
2. The Syrian King Tries to Trap
Elisha, but, though surrounded by the
Syrian army, a mightier host of heav
enly defenders were round about him
3. The Syrian Army Trapped. Elisha
led the Syrian army into Samaria. He
ordered that they should be fed and
sent back to their land.
He Came to Save Sinners
When a prominent man dies, we are
anxious to get his last words and acts.
The last act of the Son of God was to
save a sinner. That was a part of the
glory of His, death. He commenced
His ministry by saving sinners, and
vended it by saving this poor thief. —
D. L. Moody.

Most people will excuse anything
quicker than an apology.—Christian

"Wlhen the boll weevils come froto
•heir winter quarters after a fast of
several months they lorse no time get
ting to feeding grounds. as their
choice, and virtually only “dish,” is
cotton, they quickly fly to the near
est field and begin devouring the
plants. Feeding may take place on
the seed leaves or the regular leaves
if any have developed.
The insects usually are found in
the extreme tip of the plhnt. If
feeding happens to take place at the
point where the two seed leaves
branch the plant frequently dies, but
feeding elsewhere has little effect on
the plant’s growth. Feeding continues
in these places until squares appear
when they attack tliem. As long
there is an abundance of squares not
punctured the developing bolls are
practically free of injury, but when
the weevils puncture a majority of
the squares the insects begin attack- 1
ing the bolls.
As long as the female weevils have
nothing to eat but leaves they show
no tendency to lay eggs, as they must
obtain food from squares before the
eggs develop. After the eggs begin
to develop practically all the food
of the females is obtained from 'the
squares as they bore the egg cavities.
The male weevil, however, remains
on a square for some time, pucturing
it over and over until it begins to
become dry.
Weevils regularly take moisture
from dew or rain drops on the leaves
and other parts of the plants.
The first sign of injury of cotton
squares is w'hat is called flaring. This
is the spreading outward of the three
leaflike divisions of the shuck en
closing the square. The square also
turns yellow at this time. Flaring
usually takes place from two to three
days after the egg has been placed
in the square. Virtually all squares
which have been fed upon or have
eggs placed in them drop to the
. ground. Usually it is about a week
from the time a square receives an
egg until it falls.
Tests have shown that the weevil
prefers Sea Island or Egyptian cot
ton to any of the upland American
varities, but among the latter no
choice is shown.
The boll weevil is sometimes found
on plants other than cotton and has
been observed in okra blooms. How
ever, it has never been known to
place eggs in other than cotton
squares and euoriß to force it to do
so have failed.
Further Information may be obtain*
ed from the county agent, state col
lege of agriculture or the National
801 l Weevil Control Association, Room
220 Whitney building, New Orleans.

/tate Expert/ 1
801 l weevils are not unlike inhabi
tants of cities. When “city folks”
find the crowds in mid-summer are
becoming unbearable they want to get
away to quiet places where they will
have more “elbow room.” WTien she
square “tenements” of the Doll wee- 1
vils become too crowded, they also
become restless and take to the air.
However, it is not ncessary that they
be crowded before their movement
begins for their migratory instinct
prompts them to seek new fields.
The weevil move* Srom place to
place by flight. Although it does not
fly far as compared with many other
Insects, it has been known to cover a
distance of more than forty mires In
a short time. It is unable to con
tinue flight very long but by a series
of short flights, especially when the
wind is favorable, It may cover con
siderable distances.
The first movement Is in the spring
from winter quarters to the nearest
cotton, usually a short distance. Af
ter the weevils reach the field there
is very little movement except from
plant to plant until well along in the
summer. Overwintered weevils and
their offspring for several months only
move like a slowly advancing over
flow. Up until August about 90 per
cent of the weevils in any field are
those w.hlch develop practically where
they are found.
About the middle of August an in
stinct on the part of the weevils to
move about becomes noticeable. Dur*
ing this period weevils become rest
less and take to the air very active
ly, flying in all directions. This Is
sometimes due to heavy infestation
In the field but seems primarily to be
an instinct that has causea the ex
tension of the infested area in the
United States year by year until now
it covers more than 600,000 square
miles.
With the approach of cold weather
there is another distinct movement on
the part of the weevila This Is in
to winter quarters in and about the
cotton fields, and usually is a short
flight.
One of the most striking things
about the boll weevil Is the rapid ad
vance It has made across the cotton
belt. The insect made its way fhto
Southern Texas about 1892 and since
has swept across the cotton territory
to the Atlantic seaboard and as far
north as Virginia. The annual ad
vance has been from 40 to 160 miles.
Under gome conditions the boll
weev'v is nometimes spread by man
through the shipment of cotton and
cotton products or of any commodity
which originates on the farm. Spread
by this means, however, has been of
very little importance.
