COTTON BOIL WEEv|L
COMMUNISTS ACTIVITY
Methods of Controlling Pest in
South, However, Have
Been Perfected.

Less has been heard of the cotton boil
weevil In the last year than was the case
two years and more ago. and this may be
taken by those living outside the cotton
belt as an indication that the insect has
passed out of consideration and is no
longer an object Of concern.
That this Is not the case. however, is
shown by a bulletin just issued by the
Department of Agriculture showing the
area over which the weevil had advanced
up to the end Of 1909. The bulletin added
that the advance of the pest had. also
been steady during the past year. The
fact that weevil damage was not so
much featured by the newspapers as
formerly was due to the fact that it was
no longer new story.

THINKS CENTRAL BANK
NEED OF UNITED STATES
Leading German Financier, at
Berlin Banquet, Urges
Its Establishment.

BERLIN, January A strong recon-
mendation to America to establish Gen.
trail bank on the lines of the German
Reichsbank was made by the fatherland' s
leading banker, Arthur Won Gwinner
managing director Of the Deutsche Bank
at last nights annual dinner Of the Ameri-
can Association of Commerce and Trade
Herr Won Gwinner affirmed that Ameri-
cas- economic structure would remain I'M
sable so long as arrangements were not
perfected for increasing the elasticity of
the currency. This could only be brought
about by the organization of central
bank of issue. He declared that the Ger
man Imperial Bank was the worlds
latest and best model of such an institu-
ton.
America. the speaker said. could easily
establish a similar bank. 1t would. more
over, command the greatest gold reserve
in the world, amounting at the present
moment to $9OO,OOO,OO0.
When. Herr Won Gwinner said. the United
States possessed central bank the
phenomenon Of clearing house certificates
with which America was accustomed
periodically to edify the world would
vanish. America would require in estab-
fishing a central bank so to shape it's
Constitution that its policy could never be
controlled or manipulated for political in
terest or for the interest of special
financial group.
Address by Mr.. Lacey.
Herr Won Gwnrer estimated the shrink
age of value in the New York market in
the last panic at S5,OOOOOO,OOO.
Edward S. Lacey. eX-controller of the
currency and chairman of the advisory
board of the Continental Commercial Ma
tional Bank of Chicago, also spoke. He
said business conditions in Americ, were
sound and would remain so. He describ-
ed President Taft as the most level-head-
ed man who had ever occupied the presi-
dency and predicted that his strength
would increase as his term advanced.
The dinner. which was presided over by
the newly elected president of the as
ISOLATION, Isaac Wolf, jr.. of Philadelphia
was the most successful in it's history.
Amba ssador Hill, John Hays Hammond
and Prof. Munsterberg were among those
present.

Danger Growing Less.

Methods of weevil control have been
perfected in the years covering the APP
pearance of the pest in the cotton belt
of the United States. and it is no longer
feared that the insect will wipe out the
cotton industry in this country. The re-
gions that were first affected by the in
vasion have learned better how to fight
the pest. and counties in Louisiana and
Texas that ii was at first thought were
doomed to he wiped off the cotton belt
map now are raising quite as much cot
ton per acre formerly.
The bulletin says, however. that the
aggregate production of cotton in much
of the south has either not increased or
has actually diminished. This is due to
the fact that the planters, while they
still raise cotton. have turned to other
crops and have commenced the diversi-
fled farming that the Department OF
Agriculture has advocated for the south
for years. These new and more profitable
crops have included truck gardening
wrapper tobacco, small fruits. peaches
and pears

THE DRUNKARD's MONEY.
Fines Should Not 10 to Police Court,
But to Wife and Children.

Mayor Dickinson, Of Titusville, Pa.
proposes a change in the judicial
method OF dealing with drunkards,
which is worthy Of legislative con-
sheraton. He holds that police
tourt is not legitimate source Of
municipal income, and. that conse-
quently. the fines extracted from per-
sons should not be deposited in the
public treasury
The money thus taken from
drunkard is really taken from his
family--in other words his wife and
children are punished for his offence.
Mayor Dickinson proposes that when
"a drunken man is arrested he shall
be taken before a magistrate and
searched that all the money and
other valuables found in his posses
sions shall be turned over to his
family and the offender himself COM
mitted to prison until he sobers up.
