PLANS WAR ON BOIL WEEVIL
CONFERENCE HELD TO DETER
NINE METHODS TO BE USED.
South Carolina Senator's Plan of Es-
tablishing a No Cotton Zone Is
Declared Not Feasible.

WASHINGTON.--A second cotton
boil weevil conference between sena-
tors and representative from the
Southern states and officials of the
department of agriculture was held
here today. 1t was called at the re-
quest of Senator Smith of South Car
DINA, whose plan for establishing a
zone in which the raising of cotton
should be prohibited in order that
the weevil may not spread into the
Eastern states was touched on only
briefly at the first conference held
two weeks ago. All of the states
which grow cotton were represented
at the conference.
Five of the departments field
agents in the South who have made
careful study of the boil weevil prob
lem were present to explain the situa-
ton and tell what they thought best
to be done in the fight against the
pest.
The officials of the department are
of the opinion that the best way to
fight the weevil is to continue and
expand the present methods of i'm
proved culture rather than to estab-
lish a zone. Senator Smiths zone
would run down through Tennessee,
Georgia, Alabama and Florida and
would include an area of more than
8. 100000 acres. The annual loss If
the cotton crop was discontinued in
this area would be $10S,000,O00, the
departments experts have figured
What the compensation from other
crops might be could hardly be esti-
mated, as so many various elements
would enter into it.
After the conference, which lasted
for more tran two hours, 1t was an
nounced that there has been unaniml-
tv both among the members of con-
gress present and the department Of
ficials that extension of the co-opera-
tive demonstration work throughout
the South was desirable.
sit was shown" said Senator RAMS
dell of Louisiana, after the confer
ence, that Senator Smiths scheme
is Impractical, and that it would in
volve difficulties of one sort and an
other, legal and economic, which
would make it not feasible. think
the conference will result in an in
creased appropriation for the farm
demonstration work which has been
doing much for the South. An extern
sion of this service is what is now
needed"

THE RICHEST MAN ON EARTH

Gar of Russia's Annual Income En-

The richest man in the world, bar

is generally supposed that John D.

Rothschilds are wealthier than any
monarch, but such is not the case.

area equal to that of the whole OF
Ireland, of which the revenues reach

mum, of which 100000 is paid the
grand ducal family. The ears lands
in Siberia bring him in another S..

All sorts of persons have written
their experience with these oppor-
timely discovered Bibles. One sena-
tor sent $50 for the work as a token
of his appreciation. An actress wrote

of the Bibles are pilfered from the
hotels) A fugitive from justice read

The Gideons take charge of buy
ing and placing the books, but the
funds are usually raised among the
local church folk and other religious
organizations cooperate.
The imprimatur of a travelling
mems organization upon these books
is a shrewd commendation and ap-
peal, for no man can make good as
commercial traveller and be a milk
sop. That the worldly wise and So
phisticated drummers are the great
American circulators of the Bible is
certainly significant.

PUT BAN ON TANGO AND TROT
CALLS THE DANCES THE SPAWN
OF THE RED LIGHT DISTRICT.
Head of the Tennessee Diocese Says
There Is No AbsOlution For
Those Who Indulge.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.-The Right
Rev. Thomas B. Byrne, bishop of the
diocese of Nashville, has issued an
order to the churches of Tennessee
forbidding the members to dance the
tango and turkey trot and other
dances of this character, and he takes
the position that absolution is not
for those who indulge in such pas
time. He says:
Confession Would Be Curse.
Should any priest attempt to alb
solve such a penitent the dissolution
would be worthless and the confess
sion would be a curse rather than a
blessing.
1T is a principle of Catholic NOR
ais as related to the sacrament of
penance that no penitent who is not
sincerely contrite for his sins can
be absolved.
Sincere contrition for sins means
that the penitent is sorry for thee
past sins and resolved not to COM
nit them again in the future. Such
sorrow a penitent must have to be
worthy of absolution.
Application Obvious.
'"The application of these princi-
pies is obvious. If these dances are
an occasion of sin to those who in
dulge in them, or if by INDUCING in
them they themselves become an oc-
casion of sin to others, and If in the
tribunal of penance they refuse to
cease indulging in them, it follows
that the penitent is sorry for the
their sins, and hence cannot receive
absolution."
Bishop Byrne said these principles
were understood by all well instruct
ed Catholics, and he merely requested
the priests of his churches to call at
tention to what he termed the vile
Dances @@F
Call Dances Infamous.
He said that the information upon
which he based his decree came from
the knights of Columbus of the state,
who took the stand that they would
expel members attending entertain
ments where the dances were car
ried on.
They call them infamous dances, -
he said, "the spawn of the red light
district, and the prolific means of Sc
curing from the homes of purity and
virtue recruits for bawdy houses.
These are strong words, but they
come from gentlemen who seemingly
know what they are talking about
and Justify me in warning Catholics. .
