Conservation Commissioner Dayries
has some views in respect to Senator
John Sharp Williams plan to kill off
the boil weevil by not planting cotton
for one season. Mr.. Dayries is far
from being friend of the boil weevil,
but he respects the little fellow highly.
He is one of the resources Of the

The weevil is willing for cotton to be

cotton nor the war in Europe disturbs
him.

DEFEND THE
CARRIER PIGEON
HystericaI Writer Urges That Racing
Birds be Shot.

London, Sept. 20 (By MaiD-Dur-
ing the height of the spy and espion-
age excitement in the British Islands
some one seems to have urged that all
carrier pigeons be shot whenever
seen. But correspondents by the score
have sprung to the defense of the
birds. They point out that the breed
ing of racing pigeons is highly de-
veloped industry and the sport itself
almost a national pastime. Says one
writer in the London Field:
Great misconception seems to be
abroad as to the danger Of so-called
carrier pigeons. To any sensible man
the danger is removed by the police
restrictions Il. e., that in which they
have been trained for racing). The
danger Of birds being released, say,
in Lancashire, In order 10 convey
aliens or enemy's information to the
Continent is almost nil. Such birds to
be of the slightest value would have
to be continental birds already train
ed to fly the distance in the right d.
rection, and it is absurd to suppose
that aliens wishing to communicate
with another in England should use
the cumbrous and risky method of thu
pigeon, while, so far as is known, thu

yAZOO PEOPLE EAT
BUTTER z YEARS OLD
FARMERS WIFE DISCOVERS A
PROCESS OF CANNING
BUTTER.

Yazoo City, Miss, Oct. 6.-What
would you think of eating butter that
was two years old? You would not
do it If you knew it, would you? And
yet that is what near 200 people did
in Yazoo City the other day. They
not only ate butter of that age, but
said that it was fine, and could not
detect the age.
In making the announcement of the
luncheon to be served after the speak
ing at the theatre, Mr.. Ritch said that
the butter to be served would be two
years old; that it was some that Mrs,
J. ]. McGraw had canned two years
ago. Mrs. McGraw is the wife of Mr..
Jas. j. McGraw, one of the best and
most practical farmers of the county
and one who has made a success, moi
only in farming but in merchandising
and other lines, and, like his goot
wife, believes that the farm SHOULD
support the farm and the home, ant
that nothing should be bought tina
could possibly be produced on thu
farm or in the pantry.
Having been successful in canning
all kinds of fruits and vegetables
Mrs. McGraw conceived the idea
that we're possible why could not but
ter also be canned and kept fresh TO
any period Of time. So she made
trial of canning butter, and as wa
the case with the vegetables an
fruits, she has made a success of Il

London, Oct. 5 (By MaiD English
children are playing prominent part
in the present war and manifest great
er enthusiasm than many of their
elders. Some extreme peace advocates
express regret that youth should dis
play such a militant spirit, but many
prominent educators and churchmen
rejoice in the interest children are dis
playing in Englands fight and are
taking steps to give all children in
schools, Sunday schools and churches
proper instruction concerning the his
tory and progress of the war.
One prominent bishop recently ad-
vised that every child in England
should be taught to thank God before
every meal for the British navy, which
has made it possible for Englishmen to
have an uninterrupted food supply.
The young son Of a prominent Eng
lish official recently told his governess
that if God let the Kaiser get into
Paris he would know there was no God
and quit saying his prayers. And the
little chaps sister, on being twitted

department experts also point ont,
however, that incubation alone is not
sufficient and does not remove the
necessity for sanitary and other pre-
cautions; for example, hogs should be
led for a few days after the treat

should be removed to unaffected and
clean pens where there is plenty of
shade, and care should be taken to
free them form lice and worms. Since
many hogs are worm infected, the fol

by local agents throughout the South

show for their lives. The first con-
Germ of the temperance forces is to
get the Hobson resolution passed, and
if by waiting five months for vote
will bring the victory desired more
quickly and more surely than simply
sacrificing everything for a record
vote at once under unfavorab1e con-
ditions, then the temperance forces
of the nation have the good judgment
and the good sense to desire this
vote to be postponed for five months.
The Anti-Saloon League does not
favor the playing of the game of the
liquor interests according to their
rules. It prefers a free discussion
and fair vote. The League forces
do not fear for their cause in open
battle. If the bill fails in fair fight,
they will not whimper, they will glad
ly go back to the people and renew
the fight. but they will resist the
slaughter of this bill after the splen-
did progress it has made, if Joab
thrust be dealt to it between the porch
and the altar. The friends of the
League demand square deal for this
resolution and insist that the interests
of the temperance millions of the
United States be not subordinated to
the demands and sharp political
practices of the liquor traffickers and
political tricksters of the nation. This
question is by all the laws of square
dealing entitled to a fair trial upon
its merits

BOOZE TRIES TO KEEP BILLY
SUNDAY AWAY FROM
DENVER.

Denver, Colo, June I6.-The Col
orado Business Mems Home Rule
League is still on the job. The latest
move of this booze organization IS
an attempt to prevent Billy Sunday
from holding revival here.
The business men" are now cir
culating petitions protesting against
the erection of the Sunday tabernacle.
There is little likelihood that the city
council will pay any attention to the
petition, especially since special
permit was granted by the council
last Monday for the erection of the
big structure. A special permit was
required for the reason that the loca-
ton is within the restricted frame
structure limits.
The petition of the business men"
praying the city council to rescind the
special permit appeared on the streets
yesterday. The booze interests fear
the presence of Sunday in the city
during the campaign for statewide
Prohibition.
Mr.. Sunday opened his revival at
Colorado Springs last Sunday. The
huge tabernacle there will seat 5000
people and it has been filled to over
flowing at every meeting. Sundays
meetings in Denver commence on
September IS, and the tabernacle will
seat 10000 people

Liquor interests

SOlnCWhdl oPO0loNAO Vi lAN
United States liquor interests en-
deavoring to secure special rule on
the Hobson joint resolution and push
that measure to quick vote, is being
witnessed in Congress. Certain con-
gressmen, moreover, who have never
been known to favor the temperance
forces in any way, have suddenly be-
come exceedingly active in an effort
to secure an immediate vote on this
resolution, all of which reminds the
real friends of the temperance reform
of the ancient story of the Trojan
horse and the Greeks bearing gifts.
Recently the Democratic majority
of the House of Representatives eau
cussed on legislation for the remain
der of the present session. At this
caucus, the administration program
was presented and adopted with the
idea that Congress would be able to
pass the legislation provided for in
this program and adjourn early in
July. The Prohibition question was
left out of the caucus consideration
and the members of Congress as we'll
as those on the outside interested in
the Prohibition resolution were led to
believe that the joint resolution would
not come to vote in the House until
the next session of the present Con-
gress which begins early in Decem-
Der of this year.
After years of continuous pressure
against all forms of opposition by the
liquor interests, the movement for
Prohibition has been successful to
the point of introducing a Prohibi
ton joint resolution, having it passed
by the judiciary committee and hav-
ing it placed upon the calendar of the
House of Representatives
This is a great gain for the cause
of national Prohibition and has great
ly encouraged the temperance forces
throughout the nation. The long
twelve years struggle to secure the
interstate liquor shipment law which
was passed by the last Congress, was
largely a struggle to get satisfactory
measure through the judiciary COM
mittee Fortunately in the matter of
the Prohibition amendment resolu-
ton, we have been able to get re-
port from the committee at this first
session of Congress and the joint res
olution is now on the House calendar
where, at any time during the next
session of Congress, the measure can
be called up for final action by a spe
cial rule.
With this vantage secured by the
temperance forces, it is unquestion-
