THE BOIL WEEVlL
 PROBLEM LN ALABAMA
IN THREE YEARS SAYS DR. HINDS, ALABAMA PLANTERS WILL BE RECKONING WITH CONSTANT MENACE
 OF THE BOIL WEEvIL.

among the most conspicuous signs of DOH weevil and presence and injury.
 Whenever any specimens of weevil or cotton squares or bolls showing weevil stages or the signs of their work are discovered anywhere in Ala bama in advance of the general in- festation by the weeyil, it is of the utmost importance that they be im- mediately submitted to the Entomolo- gist, Auburn. for positive identifica- tion. We must depend upon the hearty cooperation of cotton plant CTS in this work. as upon the prompt ness with which the first occurrence of the weevil in a locality is discover ed and reported to the Entomologist depends entirely the possibility or advisability of undertaking any measures for the extermination of the weevil which might prevent the in- fliction of damage to that locality for several years before 1t would neces- sarily occur through coming within the area of general infestation,
 Undoubtedly during the next few years local newspapers. as well as the leading papers of the state, will frequently receive reports of the oc- currence of the boil 'weevil in their vicinity. Editors, before publishing such items. should secure specimens and forward them to the Entomologist and await his report as to their genuine ness. Editors may feel assured that the sender of a specimen will be the first to receive information as to its Identity. Published statements, if un- true. can only do harm among their readers, and for a time the harm will be as great as though they were true, as they will effect all agricultural and business interests. This is too serious a matter to permit of the creation of undue excitement through the circula- ton of misleading impressions. The situation should be faced calmly. in- telligently. and courageously to safe guard the best interests of all whom may be affected by whatever affects the production and sale of cotton. If faced in this spirit there Is absolutely no need for the existence in Alabama of the feeling of panic which has heretofore accompanied the weevil during the first few years of its oc- cupation of new territory.

But what do they all matter when compared with results?
 Our only claim is that we outsell all others. We have proved it to hundreds. We can prove 1t to you.
 This fact is so certain-so invariably true that we handle advertising without any contract whatever. We rely solely on results to keep it.
 That is why our Copy Chief is paid $l,o00 per week. That is why each of our brilliant men holds the place he holds.
 Working together-as they do-they can sell more goods per dollar spent than any other men in existence.
 Suppose these claims are facts. And sup pose they apply to you.
 Suppose these men, at the same expense, could bring twice the results you are getting. How much would it mean?
 There is way to find out-easily. quickly and certainly.
 It can be done without any commitment on your part, and without disturbing your present agency connections
 The answer will be clear and final. It may be worth thousands of dollars to you. And 1t may be worth millions. That depends on the article advertised.
 If you are interested. ask us to explain the way.

Gan Your Advertising Agent
 Outsell All the Rest?
This is the vital question.

This is the vital question.
 Advertising agents are bad, better ar best, according to their selling ability.
 Nothing else matters at all
 Advertising has only one purpose. It is done solely to sell the goods.
 If ads can be written to sell a tenth more than yours, you are wasting tenth of your money. You are losing tenth of your sales. Suppose you could hire the best salesman you know at the price of tyro Which man would you takes
 In advertising, you can do exactly that. High-class agents, whether good or poor, all charge the same commission.
 Ads that sell the utmos- cost no more to insert than ads that sell nothing at all
 Getting the best is not a question of price, but of shrewdness.
 Your degree of success depends entirely on your selection of salesmen-in-print

NEW MYSTERY IN THE
SARGENT FOUNDLINGS

PARIS. March 2i.-The latest de-
velopment in the famous Sargent case
came when a mysterious stranger ar.
rived from Brussels and claimed little
Stephanie, who was supposed to be the
daughter of washerwoman at Yer
sailies, as his own child confided tr
Josephine Savin Sargent in the Bel
gian city.
AS has already been stated. all the
children given TO the Sargents have
been identified, so the Judge of instruc-
ton. Monsieur Bourgeuil who is con
Quoting the case. was nonplussed AZ
the advent OF the Brussels woman
She demanded 10 sec the prisoner
and. when brought before Josephine
Sargent said:
YES. that is the woman 10 whom
gave the child. | recognize her pes.
fectly."
To which Josephine replied:
That is very strange, for ! never
have seen you before and never have
been in Brussels in my life"
The Judge then opened a new inves
tigation, which proved that the woman
simply an impostor. and the child
really was the daughter OF the washer
woman of Versailles.
The public feeling, which once ran
high against The Sargents. is subsiding.
owing TO the splendid work of the
police i'm so quickly tracing and
proving the identity OF all the unfo:-
tunate little ones.
