LOWLY TOAD IS
WEEVIk ENEMY
DELAT PLANTER CONFIDENT
FROG is NATURAL REMEDY FOR
THE DESTRUCTION.

Jackson. Miss, Sept 2.-The lowly
and somewhat loathsome toad frog is
the deadliest enemy of the Mexican
boil weevil, according to Marshall
Montgomery, a prominent planter of
Sunflower county.
So confident is his belief that the
toad frog Is natures remedy for the
annihilation of the greatest of all cot,
ton crop pests that Mr.. Montgomery
has established a toad frog farm in
connection with his plantation, and
next year he hopes to be able to sup.
ply other delta planters with toads
in sufficient quantities to combat the
weevil
Experiments recently made on the
Montgomery plantation show that an
ordinary toad will capture and con.
sumo more than two hundred boil wee
wills in single day, which is more
than the most lynx-eyed negro en-
gagged in picking the insects from cot
ton plants is able to find within the
same period.
The toad does not confine his opera
tions to the ground, or the weevils
found on the lower branches of the
cotton plant. He will leap nimbly to
the topmost branches of the tallest
cotton grown in the delta, some of
which is higher than a mans head on
in quest of the pestiferous
insects.
Thus it appears that the plague
that pestered Pharaoh in the land of
Egypt may become the salvation of
the South in the cultivation of it's
greatest crop

HAVE DARK HAIR
and LOOK YOUNG
NOBODY CAN TELL WHEN YOU
DARKEN GRAY, FADED HAIR
> WITH SAGE TEA.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with a brew of Sage tea and Sulphur.
When ever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaky appearance,
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect. By asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy" you will get a
large bottle of this old-time recipe,
ready to use, for about so cents. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair is splendid for dandruff,
dry itchy scalp and falling hair
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur because it darkens so natur-
ally and evenly that nobody can tell i
has been applied-its so easy to use
too. You simply dampen sponge or
soft brush and draw it through your
hair, taking one strand at a time. BY
morning the gray hair disappears; aft
er another application or two, It is re
stored to its natural color and looks
glossy soft and abundant.

Gamboa that the next move would be

1t was stated last night that John
Lind, the American special envoy in
Mexico, would remain in Vera Cruz
indefinitely; that he was not contem-

he was only waiting for a change in
the situation, which it was calculated
would not be instigated by him or by
any move from Washington. AS far
as the United States is concerned, it
was stated, the negotiations stand just

TWO FARM e RS.

Joe Neverread, for many years,
Farmed in the same old way,
With plcdding toll and hope and fears:
But could not make it pay.
His crops grew lighter every year,
Until at last he found
That they had dwindled, very near,
To seed for all his ground
Jim Readalot, not far away,
Farmed scientifically.
He read little every day,
And learned ways whereby he
Could save his muscle and his time
BY exercising brains.
He reached success while in his prime
Through methods that spell gains.
Joe tried to farm vast expanse
OF land; and had to skim
Across the fields. There was no chance
For treathing-spells with him.
He fumed and fused and worried till
His hair was gray as lime;
And still be had to trudgesup hill.
A loser all the time.
Jim concentrated effort on
A small, well-managed tract
Wbereon. as blithely as fawn,
He moved about. In fact,
His work gave him enjoyment; and
Before he lost his. youth
He made a fortune from his land.
This tale is based on truth.

and her health and her virtue. The
reason there are so many neurasthenic
women in this country is because they
have no proper interest in life.
1t is as much a shame for girl to
live an idle life as for boy to live
an idle life. and the consequences are
quite as apparent to any student of
modern social conditions.
The argument that these girls lower
the wages for those who need work is
false argument. There are plenty
of young meh working in banks in
Nashville for thirty-five dollars a
month and nobody complains that they
are lowering the standard of wages.
There is enough, and more than
enough, work to do to keep every man
and woman busy. They should not be
blamed for lowering the standard of
wages. That is the crime of the cor
porations which employ them, and in
due time will be corrected by an en-
lightened civil and industrial sense of
the financial worth of human beings.
The more girls who crowd in to work.
the sooner these unscrupulous cor
porations will be over-troubled and
brought to terms by the pressure of
public opinion.
A girl is just as decent, just as
strong morally as the average youth
of the other sef. She does not need
to be shell-bred in order to preserve
her chastity or even her reputation
for chastity. Cora Harris.

When carried to headquarters, Mr..
Calhoun talked freely. He expressed
the opinion that his arrest and deten-
tion was the work of over-zealous
friends, who feared for his return to
Alabama, where his marriage was op-
posed by his wife's family The cou-
pie were taken to Seminary in an
auto, where they were met by a car
from Mt. Olive and taken to that point
Young Calhoun stated that his bro
ther-in-law had in his possession a
warrant for his arrest, charging per-
jury, based, he supposed, on the fact
that his wife was under IS years of
age when he obtained license to marry
her. No effort was made to execute
the warrant, but promises of a recon
ciliation were held out to induce a
peaceable return, which, it seems, was
intercepted and prevented by a charge
of profanity lodged at Mount Olive by
friends, who wanted to prevent the
return to Alabama for fear there was
trouble in store for the young man.
