BOIL WEEVILS FOUND
HYDERNAT|NG IN WEEDS
G., W. JOHNSON BROUGHT SAM
HOUSED WEEAIi4s.
Suggests That Farmers Should Not
Only Burn All Weeds About
Premises But Should Not
Depend on Cotton Alone.

A warning of impending danger
is sounded by G. w Johnson. who
lives on the Solon farm north of
town. who says the farmers of Ellis
county had better take the precau-
ton to destroy all weeds and yege-
tation on the farm If they would
make sure that the boil weevil does
not destroy the cotton crop next
year. He says there is no getting
around the fact that there We're
millions of weeyils in Ellis county
during the present year, and that
they are ALTERNATING in every con-
ceivable place about the farm. To
prove this he exhibited piece of
blood weed, taken from a turn row,
which housed several boil weevils
and a grub. He argues that ii this
one weed furnishes shelter for this
number OF weeyils, the weeds found
IN the turn rev and along the pixies
will protect enough weevils TO hatch
a crop large enough 10 destroy the
cotton crop next summer Mr.. John
son argues that it would be a wise
plan for the farmers, not only to
burn all the weeds about the place,
but go step further and grow
something besides cotton.
With reports coming in from the
various sections OF the county that
boil weevils destroyed top crop
prospects, il is high time the farm
ers were making war on the pest.
or course Ellis county is the banner
cotton growing county and will con-
tlnue TO be such despite all diversi-
flcation preaching that may be done,
but the mere suggestion that the
weeyil may play an important part
IN production next year should be
the strongest argument in favor OF
growing living on the farm. 1t
mas been estimated that Ellis county
saved million and quarter dol.
lars ON feed stuffs alone this year
Why not save that amount again
in 1916 and then branch out a little
further and grow things for the
family TO eat as Well as the live
stock. Each and every farmer ought
TO own a good brood SOW TO raise
his own meat. These things hold
the grocery bill down TO the mini
mum and often times bring revenue
10 the farmer.
Again the Chamber of Commerce
at Waxahaehie has planned 10 put
lady agent into the field next year
TO teach the girls of Ellis county
how TO can fruits and vegetables.
The farmer who permits his daught-
err TO go into these clubs will find
that the housewife or daughter may
do a great deal towards reducing
the cost of living by growing and
canning vegetables fer oat-of-season
use. Fact is the farmer who grows
his own living on the farm is no,
much Worrying much about che boil
Weeyil.

caused islands To rise in the canal
and that these must be. removed
and moved again so long as the
"buekling" continues. While it mag
be possible for the engineers TO oy-

opinion that the canal is yet far

At present the democrats are try

He also reports that two distinct

YANKEES DECIDE TO BUILD
 NEW PARK ON LONG ISLAND
Have Options on Three Sites and Refuse To
 Heed Loud Opposition.

New York, Nov. 2o-That the Yan- kees will erect their new baseball sta diurn in Long Island City became all most a certainty yesterday afternoon when Capt. T. L. Huston declared that there are three sites over in Queens that appear favorable to him and Col. Ruppert. President and prin- cipal Ebacker of the local American League club. This trio of sites, cordingH to Capt. Huston, are all with in 12 minutes ride from the PenP sy1vania tube, and the possibility of one of them being selected for the, new home of Bill Donovan'ss warriors looms large.
 "Col. Ruppert and I have invested our money in the New York club" said Huston yesterday, -tand as I stated before. regardless of where the Federal League builds on Manhattan Island ,or what the National League thinks, we are going to locate the new home of our ball team in accord ance with our ideas. There are three good sites in Queens on which Col. Ruppert and I have options. All of them are nearly just as easy to reach as the Polo Grounds.

FINE WEATHER FOR BIG CAME
 IN CAMBRIDGE

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 20-The anxiety felt during yesterdays down pour as to whether conditions for the Harvard-YaIel football game today was. dispelled when the sun rose in a clear sky with a fresh west wind blowing across Soldiers Field. The huge white magnet of the stadium drew nearly 5O.0O0 enthusiasts to, the annual struggle.
 Rising triumphant from what two weeks ago looked like a disaster year, the Yale team came to Cambridge, to- day flushed with it's conquest of Princeton last week. It was fairly confident either of victory over Har- yard Tor of repeating the wonderful rally of five years ago when the Blue forces, after an equally discouraging preliminary season, held an equally strong Crimson aggregation to 8 scoreless tie.
 Against the Blue hopes, the Har- ward team lined up today as a o to 8 favorite among the betting fraternity. These packers failed to see how defeat could overtake an eleven so trained and tested.
 Experts regarded the center of the Yale line with Black, White and J. Sheldon as the apex of the defense. and Guernsey's toe, which did such valiant service against Princeton, as the Blues principal offensive. The latest Shevlin variations of the Min nesota shift. exemplified against Princeton, were not feared by the Harvard packers as a ground gainer. but it was admitted that in the las. week Yale had had an opportunity of making even this simple play more effective.
 The reliance of the Harvard off, fensfvel seemed to be in the deceptive ness of play with Mahan back, threat ening to punt, but ready to dash around the end or through the center or to fling a forward pass to one of his ends. Whether this Crimson strategy. would prove more effective as a ground gainer than the bruising erushes of the Yale offensive, was matter of much debate.

Frank Kramer, Champion
 Cyclist, 35 on Sunday

Frank L.. Kramer, the worlds cham pionN cyclist,a will pass his thirty-fifth milestone in life om Sunday Kramer has spent most of his time straddling a pair of wheels for the last eighteen years, and. although he is now threat ening to quit the game. he is always as good as he ever9was. The famous cyclist is a native of New Jersey, and lives in East Orange. where the lead ing citizens and citizeness recently pul1edJo off a big feed in his honor.
 In many ways Kramer stands out as one of the greatest living athletes In every other domain of active port have come and gone and been forgotten, but Frank seemingly goes on forever. During the recent season all the crack foreign riders ken- tered into conspiracy to dislodge the veteran from the throne, but their nefarious plot failed, and Frank grab bed his fifteenth consecutive cham pionship.
 Cycling is one of the most wearing of sports. and few men last more than five or six years at it. Kramer entered the game when he was only seventeen and he was amateur champion of America two years before he turned professional. His first year he was a runner-up for the title, and every year since he has grabbed it in spite of the stiffest opposition. He has made four trips to Europe, and on two occasions he was presented by. the President of France with a medal Temblematics of the worlds cycle championship Last year Kramer won every race in which he engaged on the other side of the pond. and irl 1913 he captured the worlds cycling title at the Velodrome d'Hiver in Paris.
 Kramer lives 8 simple. temperate life, but he isn't faddist. He drinks and smokes occasionally. but not while training, s'Know thyself,'' is his motto. for Nhe declares every man needs a differept system of training, diet, exercise. etc. During his profess sional career the bike champ is said to have cleaned up considerably more than s1Oo,oo and when he retires, which isn't likely to be for year or two yet, he won't have to worry about the wolf.

 There has been a lot of criticism heaped upon us for thinking of de- serting Manhattan Island andaslocat- ing in Queens, But we are ready to sink or swim in our, investment and our ideas. We had an option on the plot at One Hundred and Fsorty-hfth street and Lenox avenue, but erect ing the stands here and filling in the grounds besides having a street clos ed, would cost too much money.

 Capt. Huston later stated that with the present conditions at the Polo Grounds, it was almost impossible for the club to make money. Capt. Illus ton and Col.

It was said yesterday that the owners of the Tanks wanted to sign a lease for more than one year, but this was denied them.

Cross earned the honors in six rounds, three went to Harvey while in the tenth round the honors were divided Cross weighed 13S pounds and Harvey ,135-
 The bout was full of action from start to finish and had the big crowd on its feet most of the time.
 Harvey made a great showing against Cross in the fifth and caused the crowd to cheer by forcing Leach to the ropes and there landing sev- eral hard rights to the face.
 Cross scored the only .knockdoWn when he dropped Harvey to one knee in the ninth round with a left Ehook to the jaw.
 In the other bouts Matt Wells and Young Brown boxed a, draw and Benny Leonard of Harlem easily out pointed Joe AAzevedo.
