Remedy for Boil WeeviI.

A mixture of lubricating oil and
moth bolls is sure death to boil
WeeVils, according to c. NJ. Manor, a
planter who lives a few miles south
OF Yazoo City, Miss. Mr. Manor
thinks he has discovered a remedy
tor the pests that have proved so
destructive in Mississippi and other
states where cotton is raised.
1t is said Mr.. Manor made forty
seven bales Of cotton with four fam
HES, while his neighbors made some
thing like bale and a half to the
family, IN a section that was badly
INFESTED with the weevils.
The plan of Mr.. Manor to get rid
OF the Weevils was unique and sim
PIE, and very effective, he says. The
plan simply was to attach to all
ploWs, as soon as the cotton was ready

saturated with mixture of Iubricat-
ing oil and moth balls in the proper
tlon of one gallon of oil to one pound
OF the moth balls. The oil and moth
oalis were first boiled together,
@nen one pint of tar was added, and
.hto this mixture was poured five gal
IONS OF coal oil. After thoroughly
saturatlng the sacks with this mix
1ufe, Mr.. Manor attached them to
the single tree, and as the blowing
progressed the sacks We're dragged

Are you engaged in business? II
YOU are, you know the meaning of
competition. You know what it
means to have men in the same line
of business grasping for the trade
or traffic you would like to secure.
This is an age Of competition; an
age of keen competition which is
constantly growing keener. Business
houses which expect to thrive cannot
afford to wait for business to come to
them. They must GO AFTER 1T
AND GET IT.
And just exactly as there is CON-
petition between business houses, so
is there competition between cities.
And every bit as keen, too. Cities
and towns in order to grow must ap-
ply to their development the same
principles that successful business
houses apply to theirs.
Are you satisfied to see Donaldson
vile remain as it is, an attractive,
livable, lovable, little city, 1t is true,
with the finest people on earth, but
at a complete standstill SO far as
growth is concerned?
II you are NOT satisfied, but want
to see it grow, put your shoulder to
the wheel with us. 1t is within our
power if we all get together and work
together, to double our population
and treble our property values within
the next five years. Let us throw
off the lethargy of laisseZ faire and
MAKE THINGS HUM.
We have all the natural advantages
nHnHnH 10
The locks will be in operation before
the end of next year. We must now
go after factories and GET them, be-
cause We need pay-rolls. We must
go after good immigrants, small
farmers, and GET them, for our idle
acres of fertile soil MUST be made
to PRODUCE.
If you will pitch in and help, and
throw your whole soul into the work,
you will inspire others to do the
same and we shall put this program
through just as sure as the blue sky
of Louisiana is above our heads.
We are like a football team with
the bali in our possession On the
enemy's five yard line. The enemy
is Hard Times. All needed is deter
mination and team work to push the
ball over for touchdown and then
a goal. The goal is Prosperity.
But no one must shirk Everybody
must do his part. We need every
able bodied man in DonaIdsonville on
this team Are YOU on the team?

What will the chaperon say? Will
she not be shocked? Hush, dear,
that is the chaperon.
The sun shines brightly. See the
girl crossing the campus in a pretty,
thin dress. The boys all stare at
her so. Does she know that the boys
stare so? Yes, she knows that the
boys stare and she tries to pretend
that she does not care. But the
boys see through her.
Look, the girl has torn her dress.
She has split it from the ankle to
the knee. Yet the girl does not
seem to mind. She must be very

They are too shocked to speak. Do
you not feel sorry for the poor girl?

SLUGGISH LIVER STARTED
PLEASANTLY.
Mo Need to Risk Disagreeable, Dan
qerous caIonei Now That Oooe
sons Liver Tone Takes Its Place.

Plenty of people-thousands OF
them-have found that it is no longer
necessary to risk being 'all knocked
OUT by taking calomel when constl-
pated or suffering from a sluggish
liver:
Nowadays Dodson's Liver rome
takes the place of calomel.
What calomel does unpleasantly
and often with danger, Dodson s
Liver Tone does for you safely and
pleasantly, with no pain and no grippe.
It does not interfere in any way
with your regular business, habits or
diet.
CaloneI is poison, form of mer-
curry, mineral. Dodson's Liver
Tone is an all-vegetable liquid.
OF course, this reliable remedy has
its imitators. But Dodson's Liver
Tone has been made to take the place
of ealomeI right from the start. The
label on the bottle always has said
SO, beginning with the first bottle
sold And it is widely known today
how good Dodson's Liver Tone is as
remedy and that Dodson never
makes extravagant statements. He
says it 'livens the liver" oVercomes

Cotton Ginned in United States.

l.
The quantity OF cotton ginned from
the crop Of 1918, counting round as
half bales and excluding linters, was
l3,982,81l running bales. With the
exception Of that of 1911, this is the
largest cotton crop the United States
has ever produced. Expressed in
gross 500-pound bales, the crop
amounted to 14,156,4s bales, being
1,536,215 bales, or 9.8 per cent, less
than that of 1911, but exceeding that
of 1912 by 453,065 bales, or 33 per
cent; that of 1909, the smallest crop
in recent years, by Isl ,537 bales, or
41.5 per cent; and that of 1904, the
fourth largest crop, by 7l8s474 bales,
or. 5s22 EaaH
| The crop IN neraI Nj slss less
ously affected by insect pests than
the previous one, although certain
large sections suffered more severely
than ever before. With the exception
of certain sections in northern Texas
where there was some recession In
the territory invaded by the Weevil,
there was an advance all along the
line as compared with t5i22 iaie fle-
total territory now infested is est1-
mated at 300 square miles, inelud-
ing 22.800 square miles invaded for
the first time in 1913.
As compared with that Of 1912, the
1913 crop showed a gain in each OF
the cotton-belt states with the ex-
ception of North Carolina, Oklahoma,
Texas and Virginia. The production
in Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina
and Tennessee was the largest ever
reported for these states except for
1911. Arkansas made its record crop
in 1913 and Louisiana showed the
largest amount ginned from a single
crop since 1908 The production Of
cotton in Louisiana decreased stead
lily from 1906 to 1910, though since
then there has been some increase.
In 1905 the production of the state
amounted to 987,779 bales, while In
1910 the amount was only 245, ,648
bales. This rapid decline was due
largely to the ravages of the boil
Weevil and to the consequent diver
sion of cotton lands to the eultiVa-
ton OF sugar cane, rice, and other
crops
The amount of cotton seed pro-
dueed, in tons. in 1913, was 6,305, 900,
with an estimated value OF s156, $780,
900. OF this quantity, 4,767, ,8o2 tons
were crushed The corresponding
amounts for 1912 were 6,1o4 900 tons
produced and 4,57S, sos tons crushed;
and for 1911, $685.. 600 tons produced
and 1921, ,073 tons crushed.
Or the total world production of
commercial cotton in 1913 the United
States contributed 60.9 per cent; IN
dia, Ill per cent; Egypt, Sc per
cent; China, 5.4 per cent; and Rus
sia, As per cent. Some idea of the
importance of cotton production in
the United States from an economic
standpoint may be had when it is
considered that next to corn, cotton
is the most valuable crop grown in
this country and that cotton is the
largest single item of export The
value of the cotton crop of 1909 rep
resented IS per cent of the total val
ue of all the. crops of the country.
The value of cotton exported during
the fiscal year 1913 amounted to
$547. 1857, ,195, or 22.5 per cent. of the
total value of all articles OF domestic
merchandise exported during the
year.

Rehearing Applied for In Bank Ex-
aminer Case.

The office of the state attorney
general, through Harry Gamble, assist
ant attorney-general, has applied tc
the supreme court for a rehearing in
the case of William L. Young, state
bank examiner, VS.. Pau CapdevielIe
ct al. This is the case which was
recently decided against the governor
and his right to dismiss the bank ex.
aminer denied by the supreme court
on the ground that Act. No. 1f2 OF
1910 is unconstitutional.
The application for rehearing con.
tends that the judgment was er.
roneous, in that it declares the re-
moval Of the bank examiner null and
void on the assumption that it was
under the authority of the act de-
clared to be unconstitutional, the
court not taking into consideration
another act which, it is alleged, gives
the authority.
Among other matters urged upon
the attention OF the court by the
application are the following:
In this judgment the court as
sumed that the executive acted un-
der the provisions of Act liz of 1910,
declared that act unconstitutional in
respect to said action, and held,
that the removal Of the
bank examiner was unwarranted.
'.We think it is a fair and legal
presumption that, when the executive
acts, he has acted under the consti-
tuition and laws of the state OF Lou
isiana, and under all OF them.
''We respectfully submit that the
executives acts should stand, SO long
as there is any law for them to stand
upon, and that it is the duty Of the
court to consider any law pointed
out to it as sustaining any such acts.
Otherwise, We suggest the executive
will find himself considerably en-
barrassed by the judgment of the
court in this case.
He has removed public officer;
the court has declared the removal
Illegal; but the court has done this
under an act that it merely assumes
the executive considered authority,
overlooking the other acts of the leg
islature which were urged in briefs
and argument as sustaining the re-
movaI
tsOn page 43 of our brief, in sum
ming up our argument, the first
statement we make is: 'We declare
the power OF the governor to remove
under Acts of 1877 In considera-
tion of the foregoing, we suggest it
is necessary for the court to pass up
on the applicability and constitution
a1ity of the Acts of 1877 in regard to
the removal of Mr.. Young. Other
wise, the executive may find himself
in the odd position of having remoV-
ed Mr. Young under the Act of 1877.

al null and void upon the unproven,
