The nenef,t Of ocean travelling


1t is said that trip abroad will do
more toward making new men and new
women than all of the theories ever ad-
vanced by medical men. The cures ef-
fected by the bracing yet soothing. un-
adulterated ocean air, due to its saline
and other chemical ingredients and its
greater amount of oxygen ami ozone,
are attracting universal attention to the
great advantages of the ocean trip. Be-
sides being Natures workshop on the
most improved scale, it also gives a wider
vision and a different view Of men and
things. In regard to the benefits and
advantages of ocean travelling there is
no doubt; but the perpfexing question
heretofore has been the expense and how
to overcome it. An Anchor Line offers
solution of the problem in its low rates
and unsurpassed steamships and serv-
ice. Once on board ons of its new COM
modious twin-screw steamships the pas
senger seems to experience higher and
better life. and forgets that trouble ever
existed. The 71a days voyage is one OF
pleasurable companionship and activity,
ing to the desire of the Individuals trip
for those who wish to retain their health
as much as for those who have lost
their health. The excellence OF the cuisine,
as we'll as the accommodations and COM
forts provided on all steamships OF the
Anchor Line have won for 1t an env1able
reputation among ocean travellers, All
the ship in the service are equipped With
the Marconi Wireless Telegraph. The

SWAT THE BOIL WEEv|L


weeks or a month; the weevils will then be so numerous you can make no headway against them. Start the very day you find the first punctured squares and continue to pick them up once week at least, and twice week if possible, until the danger periad has been passed. This will not be be- fore the middle of July or later.
 Some authorities advise putting the squares which have been brought in from the field in some sort of screened receptacle, so as to permit the devel- opment and escape of certain para sites which feed on the eggs and lar vac of the weevils, and thus to assist in it's extermination. Unless you can do this, take the squares direct to a fire and burn them. Do not pile them about fields, for this creates condi- ton exceedingly favorable to the de- velopment of the eggs and larvate.
 Do not be deterred from doing this work by the idea that unless your neighbors also burn squares your fields will become infested from theirs. This will not be the case, for there is scarcely any movement of the weevil from the field till the annual migratory movement begins in the fall. It is an individual problem for you to solve.
 This work is not very expensive. To be effective, it must be done when there are but few squares to pick up. After the squares have begun to fall in large numbers, picking them up is practically useless task, for the wee wills are then beyond control. Many planters employ the cheap labor of children for this work. Some pay by the day or job, while others pay g stipulated sum per hundred for the
 squares. Others stimulate the pickers
 to greater exertiops by offering prize! to those securing the greatest number ) of punctured squares.

NINE-FOOT SHEETS.

Freak legislation" in Southern ana Western states is constant source of amusement to Eastern newspapers and nothing seems to them so ludi- crous as an act in effect in several states requiring hotels to provide bed sheets at least nine feet in length. This law struck New York paper as being so eXcruciatingly funny that it devoted column and a half to the subject. Yet, in his attempted jibe at the Western state,' the writer was really making a rather amusing exhi- bltlon of his own ignorance.
 As matter of fact, however hu- morous the idea may appear, the law requiring hotel bed-sheets to be nine feet in length is sanitary measure of equal importance with the laws pro- hibiting the use of. common drinking cups, common towels and the like The extra length of the linen is not required, as our Eastern contempo- rary seems to think, by the excessive height of the westerners.
 In all hotels, of course, bed-linen is changed daily. But the bed-coverings are seldom changed or fumigated. If the sheets are only of ordinary length the blankets and comforts come in contact with the face and hands of the occupant of the bed. Tubercular ba- cilli may be exhaled or coughed upon the coverings and the germs of many other communicable diseases may be left upon them, to be transmitted to the next occupant.
 But if the linen is of sufficient length to be folded back and so en- close the blankets and comforts that they cannot come in direct contact with the person occupying the bed and the sheets are immediately changed, practically all danger from this source is eliminated. The Pullman Company has for years used bed-sheets of all most double length for it's sleeping car berths.
 Instead of being freak legislation, the nine-foot sheet law is a measure of real sanitary importance.

 AS STATE AUDITOR
RELATION OF DECEASED OPEL CAL IS GIVEN COFFMAN'S
 OLD PLACE.

Little Rock, June 24.-L. L. Golf man will qualify today as state audi tor, succeeding John M. Oathout, de- ceased. The appointment was made Monday, and Mr Coffman proceeded at once to make his bond of $100O00.
 No change whatever will be made in the official staff of the officer, ex- cept that A. J. McAmis of Bonneville, brother-in-law of Col. Oathout, has been appointed chief deputy in place of Mr. Coffman, who is promoted Miss Jimmie Oathout. daughter of the late auditor, is to be retained as ste nographer. MT. McAmis has been a merchant at Bonneville for a number of years, and for some time has been justice of the peace of Boone town ship, the only office he has ever held up to the present time.

In many localities it is now a cer- tainty that we shall have to fight the boil weevil to get a cotton crop, un- less extreme dry weather should pre- vail. The earlier we begin the fight and the harder we wage it, the better the results will be.
 Beginning the battle at this time, the first step to be taken is to begin picking up and destroying the pune tured squares. These contain the eggs and larvae of the weevil, from which will come a new and many times larg- CT brood unless they are destroyed, If the coming of this brood of young weevils can be prevented the problem will be practically solved, for practic- ally all the old weevils will have died by the middle of July. On the other hand, if this new brood is allowed to mature and reproduce the next crop of weevils will get past control and long before the end of the fruiting pe-
  swarming with millions of them. It is estimated that from one normal pair of weevils to begin with at the first of the season there may come, un- der average conditions, progeny of 390O O00 by the time the third gener- ation emerges.
 In but few other matters has the literal truth of the adage, "A stitch in time saves nine," been so often and so forcibly demonstrated as in dealing with the boil weevil problem. Many cotton planters have made good crops every year in the very midst of the worst boil weevil infestation by begin ming early and diligently keeping up the picking up and burning oi squares, while often their less eau tious neighbors who neglected this work have lost their crops.
 When the first signs of the weevils presence are seen is the time to begir
 this work. It will not do to wait twt
