Ways Of Raising Money for Charity

WOtCO lot OndTiIN.
From times immemorial in China. a
donation of 10000 taels TO charity has
secured for the donor the much-prized
peacock's feather, while for half that
sum a title of nobility is conferred on
ones ancestors to the third generation.
The late emperor OF Brazil followed
the same method when erecting a
hospital in Rio de Janeiro. Having
found difficulty in obtaining the nee

title of baron" was to be conferred on
every subscriber of 100000 miIreis and
that of count" on subscribers of ESQ.,

DALLAS, Tex, August 21.-Dr. w. ID.
Hunter. the government entomolo2ist in
charge of the southern field crop, in a
bulletin today. declares that the terrific
heat of the last few days has killed more
than 30 per cent of the boil weevils in
Texas and Oklahoma. and that the heat
and dryness of the season everywhere has
brought out small giants on which the
bons will soon open, so the crop may be
picked at an abnormally early date.
In conclusion DIR. Hunter says: If the
farmers will accept the opportunity
nature has provided. hasten the picking
of the crop, uoroot and burn the plants.
there IS no possibility that there will be
many weevils left: in fact. if the cotton
plants should be destroyed generally in
Texas by the middle of September there
would be no boil weevils whatever in
Texas next year.
