pigs. Since it is a COntagion it spreads
very rapidly when once there is an
outbreak in the herd. Some Of it's
more common symptoms are coughing
sneeEing. The eyes are red and
watery and there is generally a dis
charge from the nose. The appetite
is generally impaired and there is a
desire to remain in the nest or bed.

OVER THE COUNTY
HEBRON.

Come, dear readers, and let us reason
together, let us exchange ideas about
the boil weevil, as that seems today to
be the chief concern of all the people
of our county. 1t seems to interest
all allke--the banker, the merchant,
the lawyer, the preacher, the farmer
a little more than any other class of
people. Some seem to be badly dis
couraged. That will never do; never
get blue over anything too soon. 1t is
an evident fact that it is the best to
use good judgment at all times-live
in hopes if you die in despair. We
heard one young man say, the thing
he regretted mostly was that he did
not get married ten years ago so he
eSaid i.on have had his children to
catch the boil weevils. There are not
so many boil weevils to catch now as
there has been. 1t is true fact that
the old weevils are now dying out.
The thing to do now is to get every
square that has been punctured then
you will destroy the second crop of
boil weevils, and that is the crop that
will do you more damage than the first
crop. 1t is a great deal easier to get
up the squares than it is to catch the
weevils. You can t find the weevil as
easy now as you could before the
squares come on the cotton because
they get inside the shuck of the
square.
With all the advice we have had and
with all the leXperience we have had
and with all the teaching we have had
through the press it looks like that we
could raise cotton. The people can t
say they did not have fair warning of
their coming. So if at first you don t
succeed try, try again.
The dry weather has really done
more damage here in this part of the
county than the weevil has done. Old
corn is past redemption, while corn of
all ages has been hurt for want Of
rain.
But at last we have had shower.
and VIII s. the rains have come it will
demand "he attention of the farmer
more closely to his cotton as the boil
weevil will hatch out quicker in wet
weather than he will in dry weather.
We learn of some few people who
are not picking up their squares. |
am satisfied in my judgment that is a
mistake. All the weevils that are de-
stroyed this year will make it better
on everybody next year as that is the
only thing to do: is to catch the old
weevils as long as you can find one to
catch while the cotton is small and
then pick the squares. BY everybody
doing this they surely will thin them
out. TOBE.

Result of Ambassador to Mexico's Appearance Be- fore Foreign Relations Committee Is Favorable to Huerta Government,
BUT RECOGNITION
 WOULD BE GUARDED
Whatever the Senate Thinks However, is of Little Con- sequence if the President and Secretary Bryan Think Differently.
ASSOCIATED PRESS pIsPArcHI

WASHINGTON, July 30.-Ambas- s9dor Henry Lane Wilson's confer ence today with the members of the senate committee on foreign reIa- tions resulted in a stronger support for his plan to recognize the Huer- ta government in Mexico than he received at any time since reaching Washington After three hours questioning of the ambassador, many members of the senate committee ex- pressed tonight an opinion that ser ious consideration should be given his recommendations for a guarded and restricted recognition of Huer- ta. designed to bolster up the pres ent government until the election can be held on October 26.
 The determination of the govern ment's Mexican policy does not rest with the senate however and there was nothing in the situation to in dicate that President Wilson or Sec retary Bryan had wavered in their determination not to recognize the Huerta government at present. The matter presented to the senate com
 nittee by the ambassador was af- ready laid before the president and MT. Bryan.
 The conference today was strictly a presentation of his side of the case'' by Ambassador Wilson with the result that generally a favorable impression was created, and close scrutiny and tentative approval was given his report by many members of the committee. It is believed that the administration will be urged to furnish the senate committee at once private information in it's possession. The president it is understood has information considered reliable that shows that the constitutionalist strength is greatly in excess of the estimates.

ROBBERS RAID SUMMERHOUSES
 IF PLUTOCRATS
Thefts Amounting to a Quarter of a Million Dol lars Committed in Two Houses at Narragansett Pier. No Clue.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcal


 NARRAGANSETT PIER, July 3O- Jewelry. worth at least $15O.0oo was stolen at Shore Acres, the summer home of MT. and Mrs. J. H. Hannah Friday night. A s75,OOO robbery in the home of the late E. H. Harrf- man occurred Saturday night.
 The reports that the Hanans had been robbed was denied until noon today, when Mrs. Hanan told the story Of the loss. Hanan is serious- " III in bed and has been kept in ignorance of the robbery Her un- Willingness to disturb him has caIls ed the wife to withhold the facts until this time
 The articles taken include a dia mond necklace, two diamond encrus- ted watches, a set star of sapphires surrounded by diamonds. pendant. brooch, and pair of rare black dia- mond ear rings surrounded by white diamonds.
 The feature of the robbery was that some particularly valuable gems were left in the bureau drawer from Which the others were removed They could hardly have been overlooked, and this suggests that the job was hurried Mrs. Hanan seldom wears jewels and these were only brought from New York because she expect ed to give her usual reception to Governor and Mrs. Pothier, the ill., ness of Hanan causing a cancella- tion of the function.
 The jewels were taken from Mrs Hanan's boudoir a few minutes af- ter she left the house to attend reception The loss was detected in thirty minutes but three detective agencies have been unable to find tangible clue.
 Thoroughly alarmed by the rob- berries at "Shore Acres" and Rumsey Cottage which netted the thieves quarter of million, the summer residents here have adopted extraor- dinary precautions Against similar losses. Large quantities of jewelry were placed in safe deposit vaults
