ALL BUGS SENT IN BY LOCAL

GENUINE ARTICLE.

There are no boil weevils in Faulk.

each for every genuine specimen of,
fered by the Faulkner County Bank
from Thursday of last week until last
night, brought various and sundry
varieties of bugs from every section
of the county, but none of them prov.
ed to be the genuine Mexican boil
weevil.
The specimens brought to the bank
We're first culled by County Demon
strator 5. b. Webb, who has had long
experience in the boil weevil sections
and who readily determined that the
great majority of the insects brought
IN were not genuine boil weevils. A
lew others which he was practically
sure We're not boil weevils but pre-
ferred to have an expert to pass up
on, were sent to State Agent C. w
Watson of Little Rock, a recognized
expert. Mr.. Watson's letter in replv
is as Ioll0WS:

Gentlemen am in receipt of your
letter from Mr.. S. B. Webb, contain
ing three boxes of insects asking tba
pass on same, which l cheerfully
do, and as follows, to-wit:
j. L. Phillips, Conway, Ark, three
different species of insects contained
in box; the cockleburr weevil, the Pc
can weevil and the pea weevil. No
boil weevils contained in this box.
j. r. Paul, Vilonia, Ark, Ri. A. two
cockleburr weevils, no boil weevils in
this box.
B. F. Bass, Vilonia. Box contain
ing one insect, which appears to be
the common corn weevil | am not
certain as to its identity, but there is
one thing that is very certain that it
is not Mexican boil weevil. | am
holding these boxes, but if you care
to have them returned, would be glad
to do so.
l am enclosing herewith a genuine
Mexican cotton boil weevil, which
may be of service to you in determin-
ing these facts. However, if you care
to forward any of the specimens to
me at any time, | will be glad to pass
on them
Assuring you that | would be glad
to serve you at any time, remain,
Yours very truly,

WHY MAN ExCELS AT GOLF
Woman Lacks the Active Physical
Training Which Her Brother
Gets In Boyhood.

II you were asked why men play
better golf than women your answer
probably would be: because men are
stronger than women. And that
would be the truth, but only part of it.
Possibly the difference in the effec-
tiveness Of the woman's and the mans
game can. as some people claim, be
traced directly to the length of the
shot, but the more one investigates
the more he Is led to qualify this con-
clusion. 1t becomes, on the whole,
less reasonable to credit solely to
muscular advantage the eight to nine
strokes which, roughly, measure the
handicap due from a man to a woman.
In other words, II man and a wom-
an should happen to have an equal
supply of strength and endurance, 1t
seems that the man would turn out to
be the better golfer. That is the ques-
ton.
In the first place. men have far
greater game experience. They begin
to play bat and ball games at an ear
lier age and thereby develop more
thoroughly the feel" of clubs and the
fine eye that is necessary for success
in such games. There are all sorts
OF games that boys amuse themselves
with from their earliest youth which
give them eye. And when they take
a golf club in their hands for the first
time the essential act of concentrating
their vision on the object to be struck
Is not novelty. 1t is second nature.
With girl 1t is different. She has
not daily played games that developed
her eye, such as marbles. Scrub"
hockey. snowballing and target prac-
tice. games that are the constant avo-
cations of bipeds who practice the
profession of being boys And yet one
of the greatest of women golfers as
sures me that women have shown in
tournaments more concentration of
the eye than men and that only last
fall this fact was proved 1t appears
that computation was made both at
the mems championship and the wom-
ems which proved that the women
missed their drives less often than the
men.-Charles Alden Settler in the
Outing Magazine

STATE EDUCATION
BOARD MEETING

Little Rock, July "A meeting of
the state high school board is being
held today in Superintendent Cook
Office for the purpose of apportioning
for the next year the $4,000 fund
for state aid to high schools. Prac-
tcally all of the schools that had
state aid last year have applied
again, besides many others.
The first years trial has proven
most satisfactory. Of the $4,000 set
apart for high school aid, there is a
balance of $1,689.50 and of the $780,
1000 for normal high schools, there is
balance of $2,O14.5O. There was ap-
portioned but not allowed because of
failure to meet the requirements,
81 ,672.49. There were IL normal
training high schools, 10 four-year
schools, 26 three-year schools, and 81
two-year schools, total of SO receiv-
/ ing aid. All the counties were repre-
scented except Madison, Drew and De-
sha. The total enrolment was 6,638,
with 1872 from the outside. The to-
tai enrolment of 153 high schools for
the last year was 1922, and for the
same schools the preceding year, g.
482, a gain of AZ per cent. There
were 156 more pupils in the state aid
ed high schools last year than in all
the high schools the preceding year.
During the first year private par
ties gave total of $21,799 to aid
schools in meeting requirements, and
property valued at $30,5O0 was deed
ed to school districts for the same
! purpose.

John G. Karel, Democrat, had lead
over Governor Francis E. McGovern OF
close to 5000 votes, with returns from
about half of the precincts in. Re-
turns received throughout the day
though, favored McGovern in almost
every instance and enough additional
results have been wired in to turn the
tide in McGovern's favor
Chairman George e. Scott of the Re-
publican state central committee, de-
cl&red that he had received reports
that would warrant him in claiming
the state for McGovern by at least
5000 plurality. Others place the fig
ures at 1000
McGovern's victory also means the
election of the Republican state tick
ct. All the afternoon newspapers in
Milwaukee claimed Karels election by
figures varying between 5000 and H..
900 votes, but the latest returns indi-
cate the reelection of the present in
cumbent.
McGovern will have with him Re-
publican legislature made up of ap-
proximately 81 Republicans, q Demo
cYats, Socialists, and 10 members ell
ected as non-partisans. Some of the
non-partisans will affiliate with the
Republicans, and others with the Dem
ocrats. The complexion of the senate
will be % Republicans, & Democrats
/ Socialist, and 8 non-partisans.
