"A Johnny. Young Tyson. son OF the

Tyson cried TillinRhast. "Of course

DespIsed Birds May Have Great

The English sparrow has found a claim

service in checking the spread OF the
alfalfa weevil Spread Of this pest has
threatened the destruction of the alfalfa

among growers of the plant in Wisconsin

That the seed introduction theory Of

plant experts, respectively, to the Idaho
Agricultural A College and the University
of wisconsin's College of Agriculture.
Their investigations have shown that the
weevil feeds upon leaves and stems of
the plant. but never upon the seed. On
the other hand, there is every possibility
of spread in the fact that the beetle -

The alfalfa weevil is a pest of foreign
birth. 1t was first discovered in the fields
of Southern Europe, Northern Africa, and
Western Asia Later it appeared in GER

the Rockies. The pest passes the winter
in crowns of alfalfa plants. patches Of
grass, weeds. and litter. along fences.

Western farmers to adopt cultivation and

FIGHT FOR
ALABAMA PAVING
Property Owners Declare That
the Street Never Has Had
Any Improvements.

A strong fight for the repaving Of
East Alabama Street, between White
hall Street and Central Avenue, one
of the busiest thoroughfares Of the
city, was begun Saturday with a pc
tition addressed the Mayor and Coun-
ell. 1t reads, in part:
I'VE, the undersigned citizens and
property owners on East Alabama
Street, between Whitehall Street and
Central Avenue, respectfully petition
your honorable body to repave this
street for the two blocks mentioned
as early as possible
I'VE desire to call your attention to
the face that these two blocks are
now paved with the original belgian
blocks and the street is in a very bad
condition and is a hindrance to traf-
fic. We further wish to call your at
tention to the fact that these two
blocks never have had any improve
ments or asked for any before this
time.
In the very near future the Louis
vile and Nashville terminals will he
completed, and all Of the wholesa' g
produce houses win be located in this
section, and traffic necessarily will be
increased; therefore with the present
conditions existing, it Will be almost
impossible to take care of same.
we suggest that inasmuch as there
is a steep grade between Whitehall
and Pryor Streets, that this portion
of the street be repaved with brick,
and the block between Pryor Street
and Central Avenue be rePaved with
wood block"

Warning Against CareIessness of
Pupils Driven Home-CIass-
mates Honor Mary TribbIe.

Though the home is dark with sor-
row. and the death Of the little girl
has left a void that can never be
filled. the parents and friends of little
Mary Tribble. 7-year-ol victim of
colored crayon, find a measure of
comfort to-day in the thought that
her fate has driven home with ter
rible earnestness a lesson that will
be of incalculable benefit to hundreds
of other school children.
The death of the child is to be the
price of increased vigilance by the
teachers of scores of Atlanta schools
in watching over their young charges,
and greater care by the pupils.
Many of the teachers of the Atlanta
schools have already begun to formu-
late plans and rules that will mini
mize the danger to the children in
handling colored chalk, and other OBJ
jects likely to contain poison.
The funeral Of the little girl Friday
was one of the saddest ever held in
East Atlanta. A company Of Marys
little friends members of her school
and Sunday school classes, gathered
at the East Side Baptist Tabernacle
to pay a last tribute Of love.
They brought great punches of wild
flowers, plucked with their own hands
in the nearby woods where Mary had
romped with them, and placed them
on her coffin. As the funeral process
sion entered the church, the little
boys and girls lined up on either side
of the door and the body of the
little girl was carried slowly between
the lines of those she loved and VINO
loved her
