BUG MEN ARE TO CONFER
BIG MEETING OF ENTOMOLO-
GTSTS PLANNED FOR GEORGIA.
On Cali of Mr.. Worsham They Will
Discuss Ways and Means of Conn
batting the Boil Weevil.

ATLANTA.-A conference of far
reaching Importance to Georgia and
the South is being planned for At
lanta early in December by State En-
tomologist Worsham.
Mr.. Worsham proposes for the
entomoIogists of all the cotton-groW-
ing states to assemble in Atlanta for
a general and extensive discussion
of insect quarantine regulations and
the matter of getting in perfect read
mess against the coming of the boil
weeviI to Georgia.
From responses coming in the idea
is meeting with general approval,
and the indications are that the en-
tomologists from every cotton-pro-
ducing state will be here. Georgia S
quarantine laws are considered very
effective. but some of the other states
have lax regulations and very
grave danger lies in this fact
1t is the purpose of the conference
to plan for strict and uniform quar-
antine laws, which will work for the
general good. In this day of boil
weevil and other insect preys of cot
ton the entomologists are playing a
big part in the welfare of each state.
Georgia is especially favored in
having as live and thoroughly up-to-
date man as Lee Worsham. A ma
tive Georgian, he knows the state
like a book, and no man is more pro-
foundry interested in it's future. 1t
is his intention shortly to prepare
general statement covering his OBJ
servations on the visit to Texas and
other states to see boil weevil con-
ditions. This article will be of very
great value to the people of the state
Mr.. Worsham has assurances from
DR.. w. D. Hunter of Dallas, Texas,
that he will be here at the confer
ence of entomologists. DR.. Hunter
is head of the southern field crop
insect investigation for Uncle Sam,
and is one of the ablest men in this
line in this country. Details of the
proposed conference will be announc-
ed later.

EUGENE ELY HAD JUST COM
PLETED MOST DARING FEAT.
Dead Birdman Was EIectrifying State
Fair Crowd When His BipIane
Owed to the Ground.


MACON, Ga.-Eugene Burton Ely,
one of the worlds most famous avia-
tors and the first man to ever aIight
on board man-o-war, met death
at the State Fair grounds Thursday
afternoon while making a sensational
dip of the kind that had helped to
bring him into the aerial limelight.
Ely had completed a circuit Of the
fair grounds, had made the ocean
wave in front of the agricultural
building and then started on his vol
plane or dip. He was gliding down
ward at terrific speed, probably 40
miles an hour, and just as the 5000
spectators expected him to take his
usual rise he struck the ground. He
was thrown from his machine nearly
SO feet. The machine was demol-
ished.
He had fallen to his death. The
fatal drop had also nearly cost the
lives of his mechanicians, Frank Cal
lin of New York and Edgar Turner of
Madison, Ga, who were inside the
mile oval waiting for him to aIight.
BY dropping to the ground both of
these men escaped death, the ma
chine barely gliding over them.
Elys neck was broken. He bled
slightly from his mouth and nose.
No other bones were broken.
Thousands Of people rushed from
the various parts of the fair grounds
climbed the fences and crossed the
race course to the Enclosure where
Ely had fallen. The wrecked ma
chine tilted slightly over on the right
side, lay partly intact, the left plane
protruding unframed above the bro
ken and twisted pieces of wood and
iron. Below was the engine smoking
hot.
Most of those who approached the
scene believed that Ely was buried
underneath the tangled wreckage
But he was nearly a hundred feet
away when they reached the scene.

COTTON, CORN AND PORK

The News prints below some mat
ter on the cotton situation that is
commended to the careful reading
of cotton growers and all interested
in cotton. 1t is part of a circular
letter to the cotton trade issued by
the firm of S. H. Pell & Co. of New
York:
The actual producer of cotton is
forced to measure the value of his
product by the things which his cot
ton buys rather than to measure it
by money" which he could get for
it.
The fluctuations in the prices of
automobiles or Of aeroplanes are not
the true standard of his high idea of
value. The farmer of the south
raises cotton, and after it is raised
converts it into corn and salt pork.
which gives him the stamina to raise
another crop of cotton with which to
buy more corn and more salt pork.
The interchangeable value of cot
ton with corn and pork comes near
er to marking the value" of the ar
tlcle than does the interchangeable
value OF cotton for money.
During the last twenty-six years if
mas taken an average of l 3O-1OO
DaieS OF cotton to buy 100 bushels OF
corn and L barrel of pork. In fact,
with the exception of eight years
during the twenty-six year period
the relations between this quantity
OF corn and a barrel of pork and a
pale OF cotton have been very nearly
a fixed normal

GREAT SLIDES At PANAMA
FILL-IN MAKES ~, 785, 613 YARDS
MORE TO BE ENCHANTED.
About 100000 Pounds of Dyna-
mite Remain to Be UnIoaded Be-
fore Canal Is Completed.

! mite Remain to Be UnIoaded Be-
fore Canal Is Completed.
New estimates on the excavation
of the Panama canal have been made
public by the isthmian canal commits
sion. These estimates are materially
higher than those of July, 1910. The
total increase over the estimates of
that date amounts to 12,7S5,613 Gu
bic yards, raising the total estimated
excavation for the entire canal to
1875, 323,379 cubic yards.
The chief reason for this increase
in the estimates is found in the huge
slides in the Cluebra cut. These
slides present the most embarrassing
problem with which the engineers
have to deal 1t is stated officially
that these increased estimates will
not increase the estimated cost as
determined in December, 1908, nor
affect the time of completion, because
the cost per cubic yard has decreased
and the capacity per excavating unit
has increased as the work has ad-
vanced
At the same time it is apparent
that the task of having to excavate
this enormous mass Of material de-
lays the time of completion of the
canal beyond the time when it other
wise would be finished. The state
ment that the increased excavation
will not delay completion merely
means that in making the original
estimates for finishing the canal in
1915 ample allowance was made for
just such hindrances as the present
one.
By reason of the slides in the Gu
Zebra cut about 100000 cubic yards
have been added to the estimates.
At that the slides in this region of
the canal are said to be in more salts
factory condition than in any Sep
TENDER since 1907. One slide at EN-
pire contains about 100000 yards of
material. The exact amount cann"t
be ascertained owing to the fact that
the depth of the moving mass is un-
known. This slide is unique in that
a steep side of the bank, a ridge of
earth, moved toward the prism of
the canal from the back and both
sides at apparently one time.
One of the interesting phases of
the work of construction relates to
the enormous quantities Of dynamite
required. 1t is estimated that about
100000 pounds Of dynamite re-
main to be unloaded before the canal
is completed. To promote safety a
new dock for the unloading of dyna-
mite is being established on the At
lantic side some distance from Colon
and Cristobal. 1t is feared that if
unloading is continued at the pres
ent docks shipping in Colon and Girls
tobal might be damaged. No explos-
ion has occurred, however, since the
first shipment arrived seven years
ago.

Just a Word About
Sole Leather

" 0 y undoubtedly
L know that the only
way to produce old fash
Toned, long-wearing sole
leather is by laying away
in bark a sufficient length
of time to enable the fl
bres of the hide to thor
oughly knit together COM
pactly.
You also probably know that
recently it has become very
general to manufacture sole
leather by what is termed the
quick tanning process. " This
is done by forcing into the hide
extracts and adulterants by
machinery and then filling
with a glutinous substance.
You are also acquaint-
ed with the difference in
the service given by the
two methods and it is I'M
necessary to further dis
cuss their merits.
The question for the
customer to decide is
which kind is he getting
in his shoes and how to
distinguish them. In the
finished product this is
practically impossible,
and he is therefore depen-
dent on the manufacture
er.
When the consumer pays the
price for high-grade shoe he
has purchased the right to
the best leather which can be
produced.
HAYWOOD SHOES
are made with selected
soles cut from "long time
tanned oak sole leather"
and it is a guarantee that
the manufacturer is Civ
ing the best the market
affords.

afore named United States postoffice
inspectors engaged in the conspiracy
in this petition particularly set forth
are pecuniarily in the Burns Detec-

Offices and exercising assumed and
unwarranted powers Hereunder for
the purpose of furthering the interests
of said agency, to the great peril of
the rights and liberties of the citizens

Agency. was former secret service
official in the treasury department. He
achieved considerable reputation for
his work in connection with the anti

at present is in the lime-light as a re-
suit of his work in the dynamiting
plot, which caused the destruction of
the Los Angeles Times plant. It was
under his direction that the labor
leaders now being held for that affair,
were arrested
