No cardsi WHY WORRY ABOUT COTTON PRODUCTION? Dr. Holliday’s Arsenic Meal Solves the 801 l Weevil Problem- Ail cotton grodrers agree that ar senic is the best known poison for exterminating the boll weevil. The great problem has been to find the best method by which to apply this poison so that it will stay on the cot. ton plant, attract and kill the wee vil, and not injure the plant. It was an effort to solve this problem that brought discovery of Arsenic Meal —the perfected arsenic compound. Dr. Holliday set out to find the best method of exterminating the boll Weevils in his own cotton fields. He gave the subject much thought and study, tried the various poisons now on the market, made many ex periments, before he finally discov ered the formula that proved such c revelation. He had no thought at the time of marketing his compound, but his great success convinced him that he should do so, for after the remedy had been applied not-* wee vil was found alive. • • The yield of cotton was as great as it had ever been on the same land before the coming of the weevil. Artenic Meal Has Many Advantage* Arsenic Meal is made up of sev eral ingredients, each of which has a definite duty to perform. One of the ingredients is for the purpose of attracting the weevil—another is to satisfy his taste. It is an established fact that the weevil has the faculties of taste and smell, and it is through these that he is drawn to his death. Another very important ingredi ent gives unusual adhesive qualities. When applied to the plant it stays on—even in wet weather. Arsenic Meal is put up in dry form and is to be mixed with syrup and water just before applying. This is a decided advantage for two reasons, —it saves freight rates and >any fresh mixture is preferable to an old one. Old mixtures often pro duce an acid thta scalds and injures the plant. Arsenic Meal will not injure the plant. A fine sediment will be found in Arsenic Meal when made into a mix. ture with water and syrup. This sed iment remains in suspension while being applied and each fine particle (being saturated with arsenic, settles on the plant acting as a constant poison. Arsenic Meal loses none of its use fulness after drying on the plant. On the contrary, having hygroscopic qualities, it attracts moisture from the early morning atmosphere which freshens it up for another day’s wor. W. L. BROWN, Lawrenceville, Ga.

THE GLAD SEASON. Than this season, which through the centuries has been known a* sum mer, there is none more welcome, none greeted with greater acclaim from young and old and none-so abun dantly endowed with gifts for hu manity. Let Lawrenceville dedicate this new season to health and happiness. By its very na(ure this season above all i was provided for mankind. It is the season for work and pllsy but pri marily for being out-of-doors. There is a driving energy that is to be ab sorbed from that summer surl that the world of toil may survive the rigors and labor of the other three months of the year. Humanity might prefer that , the season of summer should be one ..of surcease from all work and yet healthy men and women luxuriate in the streaming perspiration of hot weather work. Perspiration is a con comitant of toil. Sometimes are not the watery beads on man’s brow one of the rewards of honest toil ? From now until fall young and old Americans will tour? hike, motor, swim, camp, boat, golf and enter into every sport known to us. From all this they will return to school, office, factory, store and kitchen in the fall with strong lungs, sturdy muscles, clear minds and unbounded energy. While hot weather is reducing your weight it is increasing your physical endurance and strengthening your hold on life. anaukswa Wj* and Second For ‘ I •• H. P. Stiff Motor Co. Cash *r crodi*.
