Those who have been givin.

Those who have been giving
close attention to the situation
advance the theory that the APP
pearence of the armory worm is a
providential intervention for the
determination ofthe Mexican boil
weevil. They claim that by the
destruction of the protecting foil
age the rays of the hot sun are
let in upon the larva and pupae
of the weevil that are very SEN
sitive to heat. and die as soon as
the direct rays of the sun strikes
them. Aberdeen Examiner.

The common drinking cup has been

The Farmers Union Advocat,

The Farmers Union Advocate
predicts that in the early future
the farmers will be the leading
patrons and users of the outomo-
bile. We believe that, and in that
golden day the clammor for good
roads, and better roads. will be
heard above all the other din in
cident to busy life, and public
highways of the agricultural re-
gions will vie in beauty, comfort
and utility with the grand roads

NAMES MORAL ISSUE.

Maine has Il moral Issue, a great
moral issue. Maine has had pro-
hibiti0n for half a century, and
the st. Louis Mirror lately sum
marizes the situation:
"Mainc is getting ready for a
vote next month on the prohibition
question, Maine has been dry for
fifty years, but no citizen of Maine
has been dry for fifty seconds of
those fifty years. Any man who
wanted a drink in Maine could
get it. But prohibition is on the
statute books. An attempt is to
be made in September to take it off
the books. The fight is honestly
against hypocricy, publicity
against secrecy, liberality against
bigotry. Honesty, publicity, lib
crality ought to win. But the
clandcstinc booze business is so
good for those who are "inn in
Maine, there's u liquor interest
fighting to keep out the other
liquor dealers, and all the political
grafters have such a good thing
they don't want prohibition wiped
out. All of which makes the fight
a great moral issue"

No doubt the condition of the
cotton crop in a large portion of
the belt is critical, but we must
remember that loss of percentage
from a great elevation, and a de-
cine from a low altitude are very
different propositions. The best
guessers are confronted with a
knotty problem this season, and
crops should in our opinion be
dribbled to market, giving the
producers all the chances. Alb
