Less attention to politics, and more

President Roosevelt gave the cap
ital something startling to think
about when he issued an order last
Tuesday which takes away from the
members Of Congress the right 70
appoint fourth-class postmasters. in
the states north of the Ohio River
and east Of the Mississippi. Most
pOstmasters belong TO this class, and
there are 5000 of them in the states
mentioned. Men who want places
as postmasters will now have to pass
examlnations. the best man getting
the job. II is said that the order will
be extended to the Southern states.
If the plan works well. This would
affect Kentucky.
It is said that perhaps Mr.. Roose-

lieves that all men employed by the
Government ought TO hold their pos
itions because they are fit for them,
and not because they have been mix
ed up in Small politics" He would
have a system of examinations, in
which the best man wins. There
have been times during his admins
tration when he felt obliged to re-
sort TO the use Of his power of ap-
pointment for political reasons rather
than to secure the best man for the
Governments service. But he is
now showing that he really hopes
that for the future the work of the
Government will be done by men OBJ

Early Cotton and the Boil Weeyil.

Wjlmon Newell, entomologist of the
state crop pest commission, has is
sued the following instructions for
reducing the number of cotton boil
weevils during June and July:
l. Gather all infested squares once
week and eonfne them in cages
made from tight boxes or barrels
covered with wire-cloth or screen
which has either IA or 16 meshes to
the inch. The boil weevils Matching
from the squares in these cages cannot
escape and must die of starvation
within the cages. The parasites
emerging from the 'parasitized"
squares can, however, escape through
the meshes of the wire-cloth and re-
their good work in destroying more
boil weevils. These cages need not be
complicated nor expensive. Any
tight box or barrel may be used. An
ordinary dry goods box, for example,
can be made ''weevil tight" by nail
ing cleats over the cracks. Sixteen
mesh wire-cloth is considered the best
to use for covering these cages.
There are several different kinds or
species of the parasites, some much
larger than others, and in the case OF
the 14-mesh cloth all parasites can es"
cape, but few OF the smaller weeviIs
can also pass through it. However,
even if only half the weeviIs were kept
in and all the parasites permitted to
escape, it can readily be seen that the
proportion of parasites to weeVils
in the field would be materially in
creased. The 16-mesh wire will keep
in practically all of the boil weeVils
and while it may also confne few of
the larger parasites, it will permit the
smaller species to escape readily.
The squares should be-dried a little
before being placed in the cages or at
any rate placed in thin layers, not ex-
ceeding three inches in depth. They
should not be packed, for then the
moulding and heating would destroy
the parasites.
2. If labor conditions prohibit the
gathering of squares over the entire
plantation, then at least gather them
in the Oldest and most advanced cot
ton.
3. It is strongly urged that on
large plantations the gathering of
squares be continued at least until
June Is or 20.
4. On small farms, where labor is
readily available, the practice should
be continued until July Is or 25.
5. Read carefully the article on
"Preventing Damage by the Boil
Worm, (Which was furnished the press
a few days ago. II this article is not

He was followed by "Miss Martin,

crowded into pink princess dress,
and all of her there but the chewing
gum, who promptly followed her pre-
decessor along the hook-y way.

their teeth, but "Mr. Flang, a ma-gi-

teen years, braved a chilling reception

colors in perfect storm of applause.

and got it good.
The Hit of the Night Classic.
"Andrew' Stein, vi-lin-ost, "created
sens alton, and was the only per-
former of the evening who received an
encore. Scarcely more than twelve
years old, the youngster appealed to

went far towards proving his mark
able vers ability. 'Adolph Bartell, in
limitations of birds and other straw
hats, " followed and made good with a
vengeance, bringing the amateur pro-
gram to close.
The Awarding of the Prizes.
The awarding of the prizes is done
in this manner. Those OF the con-
testants who have failed to get the
hook are lined up on the stage, and
the prizes held separately over the
heads of each individual or group of
performers. Then the applause of the
audience decides the issue. The boy
violinist got the first prize, SIS; the
little coon singer and dancer was
awarded the second prize of $40; the
young magician and the imitator of
birds ran dead heat for the last prize
of So, which finally fell to the future
Hermann the Great.

first port of cali. They then took the
nearest route home.
