swallows and nighthawks are the most
important Of all the birds known as
natural enemies of the cotton boil

ing their migration. The orioles. barn
swallow, roughwing swallow, bank

are all persistent enemies OF the boil
weevil. The peculiar value of the swal-
low to the cotton grower consists In
the fact that, like the nighthawk. 1t
captures boil weevils when flying over
the fields, which no other birds do.
Flycatchers snap up the weevils near
trees and shrubbery. Wrens hunt them
out when concealed under bark or rub

ground. as do the kildeer, titlark.

hunt for them on the hollis. But 1t is

catch the weevils az they are making

search Of hiding places in which to

NEW BELT FOR OLD FR0CK
Accessory That Will Give to Faded

A little accessory that can be bought

4. Massage the feet for a few min.

and rub with firm. but gentle, pres

helps to make the foot narrow and

5. Change the stockings every day,
and see that they are not overdarned.
6. Never wear cheap shoe leather.
1t Is the reverse of economical. See
that your shoes are we'll made, and
not only wide enough. but sufficiently
long. Short shoes are a frequent
