appropriate setting to these charming
Uncle Remus" tales in rhyme. There
are few children. or grown-ups, in the
United States who have not heard of
Uncle Remus." There is no child
who has heard of him that has not
wanted an Uncle Remus" book. No
book ever published under the auspices
of Uncle Remus" has approached in
beauty and charm the one we are talk
ing about now. This may safely be
said, without 'disparagement of the old
mans other books, because the Tar
Baby" book is unique in its way and
does not invade the especial territory
OF any of the others. 1t seems almost
If not quite, superfiuous to say a sin
gle word in praise of Mr.. Harris han
ding of the folklore of the South
through the medium of the loveable
old negro Uncle Remus." The author
and his favorite character are so well
known that any attempt to introduce
them would be resented. Not to know
Uncle Remus" is to acknowledge ones
self woefully behind the times in re-
spect to the best of American litera-
ture; and one would naturally hate
to make such acknowledgment. In
short, the book under review is, from
both a literary and an artistic stand
point, worthy of the most distinguish
ed consideration of the purchaser for
holiday purposes and the reader for
genuine pleasure.

CHURCHES

Pure Elections will be the subject
of a prelude to the sermon tonight at
Trinity Methodist Church.
In this prelude, which will be short,
the pastor will discuss again the re-
cent state election, with especial refer
ence to the editorial published in an
evening paper.
Hereafter a prelude to the sermon
will be preached each Sunday night,
the prelude treating of current events
in Scriptural lights. Owing to the pre-
vious discussions of the recent election,
the prelude promises to be one of the
most interesting of the entire series.
The subject of the sermon tonight
at the Church of the Sacred Heart will
be THE Divine Mission of the Sa-
viour." The text is John XIV, 6: IT
am the Way and the Truth and the
Life. No man cometh to the Father
but by Me-" The sermon will be
preached by Rev. Father Anthony, o.

The Closed Book. BY William lie
Queux New York: The Smart Set
Publishing Company. Cloth; price,
S1.50.
Anything in literature relating to
Lucrezia Borgia is sure of being read
with interest. Lucrezia is one of the
most fascinating, if not one of the
most charming characters of roman
tic history. Mr.. lie Queux's latest book
is the result of several years research
among musty Italian manuscripts, so
that very real value attaches to his
support of the idea that Lucrezia Bor-
gia 10 much abused by history and
public opinion, and was, instead of a
cold-blooded and wholesale murderess.
merely the victim of bitter and relent-
less circumstances. THE Closed
Book" itself is the ancient record of
one Godfrey Lowell, an English mer-
cenary in the service of Lucrezia. This
old manuscript besides vindicating the
lady of the Borgias at the expense OF
her brother and father, reveals the
English hidingNplace Of the lost Borgia
jewels and of the famous Borgia poi
son, whose secret, lost to the world
after their deaths. during their lives
enabled this family to attain almost
supreme power by the simple process
of eliminating all who stood in their
way-by the touch Of a glove or a ring
or a glass and the mysterious death of
the victim, sometimes not until
month had gone by. The English novel
list who finds this manuscript becomes
involved not only in an exciting treas
ure-hunt, full Of mysteries, intrigue
and sudden death, but also in a charm
ing love affair. And both his quests
come to a most satisfactory ending.

AN UNDY|NG CURSE
No Hope of Extermina-
ting the Boil WeeviI,
They Say.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, D. c., Feb. 2.-W. D. Hun
ter special agent in charge of cotton
boil weevil Investigations for the division
of entomology, Department of Agricul-
ture, in report issued today as an
emergency bulletin, says the work of his
division for several years has demon
strated that there is not even remote
probability that the boil weevil ever
will be exterminated" The bulletin auds:
Although the very large yields OF cot
ton of former times may no longer hn
possible, it is nevertheless entirely feast
BILE to produce cotton at a margin OF
profit that will compare favorably with
that involved in the production of most
OF the staple crop of the United States
by following what have become known
generally as the cultural methods. III
volving changes and notifications of the
system of cotton raising made necessary
by the weevil. They were originally sug
gested by a careful study of the life his
tory and habit of the past, and natur-
ally any improvements that may event
ually be made will be the result of the
continuation of that study. They have
now been tested successfully on large
scale by the division of entomology, as
we'll as by many planters during two
very unfavorablc seasons OF greatest
advantage is the reducing of the num-
Lers of the weevils by the destruction
o. the plants in the fall. The advantage
thus gained is followed up by bending
every effort toward procuring an early
crop the following season.
The changes in the cotton raising s7s-
tenn urgently recommended are:
Early planting with seed from, AS far
North as possible; thorough cultivation
oil the fields. which influences the constant
growth and consequent early maturing
oil the crop: planting the rows as lar
apart as feasible and thorough thinning
out OF the plants IN the rows; destruc-
tion by plowing up, windrowing and
burning of all the cotton stalks in the
fields as soon as the weeyils become so
numerous that practically all the fruit is
being punctured. thus destroying the very
proportion of weevis developing late in
the autumn and extensive use of fertiE
zers so as to procure earlier crops.
