government entomologist, and the most
eminent authority in the world on the
boil weeyil, was in the city over night,
coming in from Dallas, Tex, last even
ing and leaving for Washington at 9
o'clock this morning. Before leaving
for Washington Dr. Hunter said:
"The mild winter and the wet spring
have been exceptionally favorable to
the boil weevil, and they have increased
amazingly. From my observations and
from the observations of my assistants
| calculate that there are thirty times
more weevils at the present time than
there were at this time last year, The
propagation of the weevil was mate
rally assisted by the great quantity Of
volunteer cotton in Texas this spring,
the winter being so mild that much
cotton, even as far up as North Texas,
was not killed The weevil now ex-
tends from San Antonio to the river in
Louisiana and for distance of seventy
miles up into the Indian Territory"

Women for the most part spend
their lives at home, and it is these

ironing and sewing for the entire
