BOIL WEEVIL DAMAGE.
There Is Likely to be 100000 Bales
Destroyed This Year.

Austin, Tex, June 22.-Jefferson
johnson, chairman of the Boil Weevil
commission. says that according to
reports which have reached him, the
boil weevil is making it's appearance
two Or three weeks earlier than last
year. He says that the indications at
this time point to great destruction OF
the cotton crop by the pest throughout
the state.
Basing calculations upon the past ii
is estimated that the boil weevil will
destroy 100000 bales of cotton this
year. Much will depend upon the
weather. The pest thrives best in a
wet season and dry weather may re-
duce this estimate.
According to government reports the
weevil, last year, afflicted So Of the liz
cotton producing counties of the state
and destroyed 1885, 1850 bales of cotton
| The weevil does not do as much dam
age during its first season in a new
| field as it does the second season. Last
season the weevil entered many of the
best cotton counties in the state, but
most of these counties raised a good
crop. nevertheless. Following are the
counties in which the pest was seen for
the first time last season: Newton
Jasper. Sabine, San Augustine, Shelby
NacOgdoches, Cherokee, Smith, Up
shur, Camp. Wood, Franklin, Hopkins
Hunt, Rains, Van Zandt, Kaufman
Dallas, Ellis, Tarrant. Johnson, Hood
Somerville Mills, San Saba, Lambasas.
Ellis county last year raised more
cotton than any other county in the
country.
| This range of counties represents an
area about as large as that invaded by
the pest the year before. The counties
in which the weevil was first seen in
1902. are: Hardin, Tyler, Angelina,
| Trinity, Houston, Anderson, Hcnder-
son Navarro Freestone Leon. Lime
stone, Hill, Bosque, McLcnnan, Falls,
| Coryell, Hamilton, Burnet and
! Llama.
! The damage done in 1902 was very
small as compared with that done last
| year, and if this ratio of increase is
| continued this year in the counties
which were invaded for the first time
last year the damage will be much
grc3ter than ever known since the first
| wcevil crossed the Rio Grande.
A more vigorous fight is being made
against the pest this year than ever
before. Tons of Paris green and other
poisons have been sold. Some salts
! factory reports are received in regard
to their use, but in the main it cannot
be said that there is not much hope
held out of any great amount of good
being accomplished by the use of these
drugs, aud no matter what may become
of the importation of Cuatemalan ants
and from other experiments, not much
can be expected from them until next
| sea son.
That the weevil has made its appear

ana there is no doubt.

when Miss Emily r. Plaisted was unit
ed in marriage to DR.. Luther G. Bun

The ceremony was perform by Rev.
f. c. Whittemore in the presence of

through an aisle Of white ribbon held
by eight Of her closest friends, Mrs.

other rooms were decorated with ferns
and wild flowers. while the stair rail

sion of laurel, in blossom.
DR.. Bunker came to Waterville from
Sanford in 1895 since which time he

In 1920 Athens voted to the tune OF

Maine from Massachusetts.
In 1861 there were about 300 voters
and when the call was issued for vol
unteers 1OS responded. OF these 81
never returned.
Previous to today, probably the
largest crowd ever in this town was In
1910 at the close Of the Log Cabin

victory of Gen. Harrison, the Whig
candidate A log cabin was built on
the mountain between here and Cass'
Corner, and people from all over Maine
came to attend the festivities. Many
of the greatest orators of New Eng
land spoke here at that time.
Freshet and fire have several times Wis,
tied the town, and twice has the business
portion been nearly wiped out by the
flames. Two centennarians deserve men

died in 1856 at the home of her grand
daughter, Mrs. Benz. Moody. at the ripe
old age of 104 years. When only six
years of age she learned to spin flax and
made her father pair of shirts. In 1875
she came on horseback from Darlington,
N. H.. carrying in her arms her two-year-
old daughter. At her death five genera
lions were at her funeral.
Another lady. Bethah Tozier, came here
from Bangor, probably on horseback
When 100 years of age she carded the
wool, spun, wOve, cut and made herself
a dress. At the age of 107 she knit a
pair of stockings which she sold for S.
This woman. in many ways remarkable,
lived to the wonderful age of 1Os years.
The history of the town is much like
that of many other Maine towns 1t was
built by men of courage and persever-
ance. very like the sturdy woodsmen who
pushed their way into the very heart OF
the great forests and there planted towns
and cities.

NOTICE TO MARINERS,
System OF Range Marks Erected at
Delaware Breakwater.

washington, June 22.-There has been
erected by the coast and geodetic sur
Vey system of range marks upon the
inner Delaware breakwater for the pur-
rose of giving true bearings by which
ships at the national quarantine an
chorage, when swinging at the turning
of the tides. can determine the devia-
ton of their compasses.
The front range ma rks, on the break
water, consists of iron poles five inches
in diameter projecting about IL feet
above the breakwater set at each even
degee, from 5 degrees w. to 20 degrees
E.. of north and south line. The south
range mark has a triangle at it's top
and the 5, 10, Is and 20 dergee marks
q circular target of heavy wire netting.
with white figure in the center indi-
eating the respective degree. All marks
with the exception of the white figure
are painted in black. The range marks
at the bearings 5. degrees w. and S.
degrees W. are omitted owing to the
space occupied by the reporting station
of the Maritime Exchange Of Philadel-
phia.
The rear range mark for all bearings
is the easternmost of the two tall iron
chimneys at the fish oil factory, about
IL miles northeast of the town of
Lewes This chimney has a white band
II feet wide painted near it's top. The
bearings shown by the range marks
are true. The magnetic variation at
the anchorage on August Is. 1903, was
degrees 90 latitude west, annual in
crease degrees. The variation for the
current year, applied to the true bear
ing as given by the range marks, gives
the correct magnetic bearing; the diff
ference between the latter and the COM
pass bearing of the range is the devil
