WeeviI Problem chewed Fine.-At a
recent meeting Of the Montgomery
county, Alabama, Farmers Union,
State Entomologist w. T. Kinds dis
cussed the boil weevil situation, now
one Of immediate urgency for lne peo-
pie thereabouts. He showed that in is10
the weevil reached an Alabama area
that produced only $1,000 bales Of cot
ton; in 1911 the pest had invaded a re-
gion which made 10000 bales, while in
1913 he would occupy territory produc-
ing approximately 100000 bales. Ex-
pert Kinds had no doubt that Mont
gomery would be reached before the
close Of the year, the weevil being only
forty miles away now and fostered by
the very mild winter just past He ad-
monished the farmers that the first es-
sential was to hold the labor on the
farm, to prevent 1t from becoming
frightened and running away. He was
certain that IL they did this and other

through the crucial stage, adjustment
to the new conditions would not be ex-
cessively hard. Diversiflcation, CO.
operation and better all-around farm
ing would see them through. The ex-
perience of other states and counties
with the boil weevil enabled him to
give tried advice. In the Carroll

THIS Is HISTORIC CHURCH
Dates Well Back in the Eighteenth
Century,

SontuTys
There is a church in the diocese Of
Southern Virginia, built in 1S45, OF
materials that were used in a former
church dating back to Colonial days,
which was at one time the parish church
for a territory extending from the Blue
Ridge mountains northwesterly to the
Mississippi river, thus including the
present states Of West Virginia, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wiscon-
sin, says the Living Church. This Is
Trinity church, Staunton, Of which at
the present time the Rev. w. @. HULL
hen is rector. 1t is needless to say that
the parochial bounds have gradually
been reduced, so that at the present
time they include part Of Augusta
county in the state of Virginia alone.
From notes furnished to DR.. Charles
Minor Blackford 1t appears that:
I'm 1888 the Virginia house Of bur-
gesses took steps to divide the county
of Orange, as it was inconvenient for
the residents of that part of the coun-
ty that lay west Of the Blue Ridge
mountains to communicate with the
county seat. 1t was therefore enacted
that the portion Of Orange county lying
west of the Blue Ridge be divided into
two counties by line drawn from the
head spring Of the Hedgeman river to
the head spring Of the River Potow-
mack (Potomac), and that all Of the
territor ylying northeast Of that line be
Frederick county, and the remainder,
from the SUBMITS of the Blue Ridge to
the utmost limits of Virginia. should
be 'one county and one parish, to be
known as Augusta county and Augusta
parish"

THE ORIGIN OF HsHoW ME"

A little while ago a well-intentioned
critic Of st. Louis informed the busi-
ness men that their city had outgrown
its stick In -the-mud slogan, You'll
have to show me-" and that the first
step in the direction Of progress must
be the selection Of less slow slogan.
A few of those who read his speech In
the daily papers, protested that show

erty Of st. Louis. They were not sure
whence 1t had come, nor why. They
could remember only vaguely the first
time they heard 1t, but they were posi-
tive 1t belonged to the state of Missou-

corruption Of the name Of a famous
Indian chief of the Sioux tribe, whose
grave is in the western part Of the
state-old Yumus Shome having led
the tribe who crossed the lowlands be-
low the mouth Of the Illinois, carrying
their canoes on their heads from the
Mississippi to the Missouri, and thus
giving the name to the historic old

1t Is a pretty story, and one that we
ought to permit ourselves the pleasure
Of believing. But, alas, 1t Is practical

for the fact Is sure to come forward
with the proof that there never was
any such chief as Yumus Shome. The
man who wrote to one Of the daily pa

some authority for his statement In
deed he had what looked like excellent
authority. He found 1t in scrap book,

was sure that the poet must have

BOOZE AND CRAFTSMANSHIP
Outlook for Dry Dinners At White
House Recalls Days When They
Went Hand In Hand.

House Recalls Days When They
Went Hand In Hand.
There's talk in the papers these days
about the likelihood of White House
dinners being dry for the next four
years, I see, William. No wine for
Woodrow Wilson, 80 they say. Well,
maybe It's good thing. Indeed, guess
1t is. But things must certainly have
changed in Washington since the
swashbuckling days when your great
grandfather was congressman and I
was growing up.
In those days 1t was considered per-
fectly all right for statesman to go to
bed drunk half the evenings In the
week. OF course, he didn't do much
drinking until after dinner, when the
days work was done, and then-why.
II he wanted to take more than he
needed nobody thought much less Of
him on that account. 1t was just a
matter Of taste.
And as for drinking-why, to quote
that song you're threatening to whistle
me into my grave with, Will-why,
Everybody was doing It." You never
went to any sort Of a social function
without there being some sort Of alco-
hol on tap.
There was always punch at dance
good, strong punch, too, 1t was-and
the older men generally found it more
attractive than the dance floor. And
dinners! Why, dinner wasn't a din
ner without plenty to drink.
Those were the days, william, when
fine Madeira wine was in the cellar Of
every gentleman in Washington. At
the foreign embassies, used to hear
father tell, they served champagne, but
he always maintained Madeira was as
good a drink as a gentleman needed.
1t sounds kind Of queer to you,
reckon, seeing that you were born In
Kansas; but nobody in Washington
thought anything Of it. The biggest
statesmen in Washington were in their
cups tolerably frequently. There was
old Daniel Webster-they tell drinking
stories about him today in Washing
ton, and the number Of bars along
Pennsylvania avenue that claim they
were the places where Webster took a
drink while on the way to the Capitol
well, If he'd visited them all, he GER
tainly would have reached the Capitol
pretty limp, If at all. Now, of course,
Webster wasn't drunkard, though he
probably took on more than was good
for him at times. But 1t shows how
differently Americans felt about the
whole business of drinking in those
days.
They used to tell a story Of Webs
ter's being called on to make speech

TRAINING THE SOLDIERS
Uncle Sans Fighters Put Through
Strenuous Course.

Uncle Sans Fighters Put Through
Strenuous Course.
Take the Mounted Service school,
which graduates about 200 men annu-
ally. It's department Of farriery alone
enables a graduate to command 500
a month in civil life, says writer In
Scribner's. For the methods are ad-
yanced, and no such instruction is to
be obtained outside Of the army school.
Whereas ordinarily a blacksmith may
learn his trade in two years, here he
gets a much better training In six
months, and that with far less torture
OF defenseless beast. For he practices
on a wax foot and learns to make and
manipulate leaden horseshoe before
he Is allowed to work on the horse.
Not for him the injurious practice OF
clapping a red-hot shoe on the hoof
and letting it burn its way to good
At. Yet with all his nicely Of prepar-
alton and fitting, he works far more
expeditiously than your ordinary
blacksmith. Where the latter takes
an hour for the job, he accomplishes
it in twenty minutes. He also has
course in veterinary science, and finds
in the horses infirmary all the most
modern appliances.
AS for riding in the Mounted Ser
vice school, 1t Is the last word In the
practical education Of a horseman.
The training is severe, involving many
casualties, but it results in finished
horsemanship. These officers and men
Of the cavalry and field artillery ride
with marvellous daring, skill and grace.
Nor should we quite forget the equal
enthusiasm Of the horses-those
horses, so we'll set up by their train
ing. so different in bearing from the
workaday civilian horse. Who can
fail to remember the beautiful and
frolicsome mare who, for pure Joy, al
ways took an extra jump between
hurdles?
We have two schools Of cooks and
bakers turning out each year about
500 men. Very good cooks and bak-
ers they are, equally well versed in in
door and outdoor cooking. They get
both theoretical and practical educa-
tion, with much scientific knowledge
of food values. incidentally the school
supplies all dread, cakes, pies, etc., to
the garrison and mans the menu
kitchens. A special point Is the train
ing Of mess sergeants, who order the
supplies and keep the accounts of the
mess, arranging each days bill Of fare
with due regard to variety and nour-
ishing quality.

ALFALFA ON TOP
Scott City Man Pays SIS per
Acre-Crop Yields $12S.
j. w. Tough Installed Irriga-
ton Plant-Makes Report.

Scott City, Oct. 25.-Land costing SIS
per acre in Scott county produced al
falfa to the amount of s12S per acre
this season, more than eight times the
cost of the land
This is the report made by ]. w.
Tough, who has made a success Of
pumping irrigation in Scott county
The irrigation plant itself cost from
500 to SIS per acre, and the cost of the
watering was 81 an acre more, making
the entire cost per acre, counting orig
inal cost of land and pumping plant,
not over s42 per acre. or less than one
one season.
Mr.. Lough's land is twelve miles
southwest of Scott City. During the
month of May. 1912, Mr.. Tough broke
up raw prairie land and seeded it to
alfalfa, securing perfect stand.
Notwithstanding the hot dry season
this year, Mr.. Tough, by the use of
pump irrigation, harvested four crops
of alfalfa hay, yielding eight tons per
acre, from this one-year-old alfalfa
field. This hay is of the finest.
This alfalfa was irrigated four times
during the season at a cost of fifty
cents per acre per watering, or a total
of 81 per acre for the seasons irrigat-
ing.
Alfalfa hay is now selling for $16 per
ton in Scott City, and at that rate Mr..
Lough's income from this field this
year would be S12S per acre.
Land suitable for pump irrigation
can be bought in this county at from
SIS to $40 per acre. An irrigation plant
of sufficient capacity to irrigate 160
acres can be installed at 500 to $25 en-
acre" reported Mr.. Tough.

HUNT WOLVES ON PoP-PoPs.
Grant County Preacher Runs Down
and Kills an Animal.

New Ulysses, Kan, Oct 25.-It was
like Sheridan's dash to Winchester,
was this chase and capture of a coyote
by the Rev. J. L. Nipple with his mo-
torcycle over Grant county prairies.
Mr. Nipple is a rural mail carrier. On
his regular trip he saw full grown
coyote near the road on the prairie.
Across the wide expanSe of level land
preacher and coyote set sail under
full head of steam.
In point of speed the motorcycle
was too much for the quadruped and
the rider could easily come up on him
but when the popping gasoline would
get uncomfortably close to his heels
the coyote would suddenly turn, which,
of course, caused the minister some
inconvenience. This kind of warfare
continued for about three miles when
Mr. Lupus, being discouraged lonely,
sick sore and out of wind, piled him
self down in a heap, while the carrier
dismounted and remorselessly slew his
victim.

WOULD GUST JUDGE.
Charges Filed Against Wichita Police
Official.

Wichita, Kan, Oct. 25.-A request
for the custer from office of Police
Judge Clyde Souders, embodying
charges of misconduct in office, have
been filed with, County Attorney Geo.
McGill by George E. Russell, former
special agent of the Kansas Gas &
Electric company.
Mr.. McGill declined to take any ac-
ton on the charges further than to
transmit them to Attorney General
John Dawson at Topeka
The charges, however, are not pub
lished owing to the fact that they are
not yet a matter of record, that no
action has been taken on them by any
court, and that as allegations are not
printable without assuming the proof
of the statements as fact.
Among the items enum Grated in the
formal complaint, Mr.. Russell cites
the police judges action in the prose-
cution of S. A. Welsh, who has been
a defendant under attempted enforce
ment of the prohibitory law. The COM
plant also criticises the police judges
action in the case against William H.
Carroll, formerly of the Planters
hotel.
