FARMERS UNITE IN
FIGHT ON COTTON'S
FOE-BOLL WEEV|L
Organization Is To Be Per
fected In Each County.

Townsville, Sept. 17.-With
the appointment of committees
in each county infested with the
boil weevil to organize the work
in their respective counties and
to see that the farmers carry into
effect the suggestions made by
the experts, the actual work of
combating the latest Mexican
invader on Georgia soil was be-
gun at the conference held here
today.
The conference was made up
of about 400 farmers and bust
ness men of more than usual in
telligence, practically every in
tested county having been rep
resented and a number coming
from counties which the pest has
not yet reached. The men SEEM
ed deeply interested and it is be-
lieved that as a result of the
work inaugurated here Georgia
will be better prepared to meet
the evil than any state hitherto
invaded.
Three Points Agreed On.
On three things the experts
were agreed. namely, that the
weevil has come to stay, that its
advent means that cotton plant
,ers must revolutionize the meth
DDS of farming or face ruin and
that diyersification of. crops is a
necessity.
The experience of other states
was cited in which lands worth
$75 to 500 per acre quickly de-
Ipreciated in value until they were
offered for less than $40 and
communities Of the population
and wealth Of Thcmasville were
reduced to bankruptcy.
The meeting was called to or
der in Mitchell hall at II o'clock
by c. w. Cooper. president of
the local chamber of commerce,
who put Lee Worsham, state en-
tomologist, in nomination for
chairman. Mr.. Worsham made
a brief talk, stating the purpose
of the conference and introduced
DR.. w. D. Pierce, of the United
State bureau Of entomology. DR..
Pierce said that the government
had not expected the weevil to
reach Georgia so early and that
officials Of the department had
not anticipated so rapid an ex-
tension of the pest. They
thought that the weevil would
not reach the state until just be-
fore frost and that no material
damage would be done until year
after next.

Vain Regrets

1t is a common experience to hear
men who have or more policies in
the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance
Company that have been in force
for five years or longer, and often for
a shorter time, and also have insur-
ance in other companies, that they
have beer carrying not less than five
years, and cannot let go without Sc
rious loss, that they regret seriously
that
All their insurance is not in the
Mutual Benefit.
Each one has learned that There is
a difference" by experience. The man
who fails to look before he leaps Oft
en- regrets his action.
I shall be pleased to show you the
difference between the MUTUAL
BENEFIT and All Other companies.
1t will be better to find out Before
you buy life insurance than to learn
After you have PLACED yourself in the
position Of the people referred to
above.

A HERO? NONSENSE,

down into the hole because had to.
Patrolman Thomas Joseph Mactar-
lin. who did valiant work saving women
and children i'm the subway accident
scoffed at the idea that he was hero.
All day yesterday he stood at his post

Her husbands chances for a promo

Wednesday didn't seem very good to
Mrs. MacFarlin.
"He couldn't be promoted until he
takes some more examinations" she
said, "but | guess maybe this would

might get a star or something that
