Pun Which Took The Palm.

At a recent luncheon in Chica-

cause he has to Marie Corelli?
Whereupon the guests a !
turned to the manufacture of
similar jeux de mots. the hostess
announcing that she who perpe-
trated the best should carry home

Jokes manufactured on the spot:

Boil Weevil Why Fight Should
Be Continued.

Be Continued.
There has been a disposition on
the part of the press and the pub
lie generally to minimize the pos
sibilities of damage by the Boil
Weevil to the cotton crop this
season as a result of the severe
cold weather during the winter.
The result of any let-up in the
fight on the Boil Weevil at this
time would be disastrous to the
planters. The cold weather has
not exterminated the Weevil. 1t
has simply had the effect of re-
ducing the number of Weevils
coming through the winter and
therefore. reducing the number
emerging in the Spring.
1t is a wed known fact-and
this is especiay true in the Mis-
sissippi Valley or sections where
the rainfall is heavy-that if
the Weevil is let alone it will null
tiply very rapidly and become a
serious menace to the crop.
The Weevil are alive in their
hiding places. However, the Sc
we're winter season is all in favor
of the planter producing a cotton
crop in the face of the Boil Wee
vii provided he continues to fight
this insect actively as he has
been doing in the past.
REMEMBER
l. That the over wintered
Weevil feeds upon the terminal
buds of the young cotton plants
until the forms or squares devel-
90, then the female deposits her
eggs in the squares exclusively at
first. but later may deposit them
in the immature bolls.
2. For a period after emer-
gence from winter quarters, it is
comparatively sluggish and while
feeding upon the cotton plants it
may be picked or poisoned.
3. The Weevils remain in the
field where they locate in the
spring until they become very
numerous. Their principal period
of migration is in the fall.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
l. Breaking (plowing) h e
soil as deep as conditions will al
low.
2. Delaying the planting till
the soil and temperature are
warm enough to make it safe.
3. The planting of early ma
turing varieties of cotton and Sc
Letting the seed.
4. The use of fertilizers.
5. Leaving more space be-
tween the rows. and on ordinary
up!ands having a greater dis
lance between plants in the row
than is usually allowed.
6. The use of the section har-
row before and after planting
and or the young cotton.
Z. Intensive shallow cuitiva-
ton.
8. Agitation Of stalks b y
means of brush attached to the
cultivator.
g.. Picking up and burning
the squares that fall under Wee
vii conditions, especially during
the first 80 or 40 days of infes.
tation.
10. Controlling the growth of
the plant if excessive by deep
and close cultivation.
1T will be noted that the sys-
tenn, as outlined, has a two-fold
object: CD to reduce the num-
Der of Weevils and (2) to aid
early maturity"

VITAL WASHINGTON NEWS
TAvENNER, WRITER AND THINKER GIVES us THE
FACTS AS THEY REALLY EXIST

Washington, April 3--When a wo-
man purchases $40 worth of wooler
dress goods, s4.S7 of that SO repre-
sents the value Of the goods and the
remaining S5.13 of the $40 the amount
of the tariff. In other words. should
the purchase be made in England
where there is no tariff on woolens.
the woman would receive the same
amount and quality OF dress goods for
S4.S7 that she pays $40 for in this
country. -H
This is because Of the Payne-Aldrich
ad valorem tariff rate of l05 per cent
When the Democrats came into power
in the House of Representatives they
framed bill which would reduce the
tax on woolens nearly 40 per cent The
Senate passed a similar bill. Presi-
dent raft vetoed the bill, which pre-
vented cheaper and better woolens TO
American consumers. The Democrat
ic majority of the House now presents
the bill again.
President Taft will have less excuse
to vote the bill than before He de-
clared on the first occasion that GER
tain tariff board had not made it's re-
port, and that to permit a reduction of
the duties might make it impossible
for the wooden manufacturers to pro
tect" their workingmen.
The tariff board report justifies
downward revision of the wooden sche-
dule. Then since the President vetoed
the wool bill there has been a strike
of the textile workers at Lawrence,
Mass, which has revealed beyond ar
gument and beyond contradiction that
the WOODEN trust magnates have been
fooling and cheating the public all the
time. The strike of the So, 81 and So
week men, women and children in
the woolen mills brought to light the
fact that while the mill owners have
been declaring they were protecting"
their workers with fair wages and de-
cent working conditions, they have
been paying them starvation wages
and treating them almost like animals
The last leg has been knocked from
under the wool tax argument, and
President Taft has no excuse left to
explain veto of the Democratic down
ward revision wool bill. The Presi-
dent vetoed the first wool bill not for
the welfare of either consumers or
woolen mill workers, but at the be-
hest of the millionaire woolen trust
owners who contributed to his cam.
paign fund. If he vetoes the newly
introduced wool bill 1t will be for the
same reason, and the people will so
understand 1t.

ed to advance the cost of clothing And
rs a matter of fact, the consumers be.
gan to actually pay increased prices
Tor woolens and cottons in anticipa.
ton of the increased wages to be paid
by the woolen trust, before the an.
nouncement of the increased wages
was made public.
Cotton prints, calicoes and the like
have risen in price at Wholesale in
New York city quarter of a cent in
the last ten days, and mill agents pre-.
dict the increases will reach 2 cents a
yard
This will make difference of 3
cents in an apron, and % cents in the
housewives dress. Mems clothing is
going up, and women's and children's
woolen dress goods are declared to be
next in line. The increase, IL is esti-
mated, will bring approximately $12.-
100000 into the Golfers of the WOODEN
trust within year. Thus an accom-.
modating public will bear the cost of
the strike and increases in wages.
The men who work such games as
this on both public and employees are
but a handful in number. They are
just few rich men who own or con.
troll the majority of the stock of the
woolen trust. 1t is practically these
few men, and they alone, who are the
sole benefciaries of Schedule X.
Again the query; How long are o.
100000 American citizens going to
stand for a wool tariff which taxes
them outrageously on every stitch of
clothing they use merely in order that
few greedy woolen trust magnates
may be still further enriched?
