The department has planned this

Two trips have been arranged to be
made in automobiles. These trips

the automobiles will bear the state
boards placard
In each car there will be repre-.
sentative of the state board of ento

done to ward off boil weevil damage.
a prominent business man who will.
discuss the Relation of the Boil Wee

The boy weevil is now causing dam
age amounting to $100,000,0G0 to the
cotton crop of the South annually ami
Is gradually spreading. Georgia has
an opportunity unequalled by that OF
any other section that has yet been
to curtail the damage to next
years crop. The present crop has
been made. If every cotton grower
will give active cooperation he can
get rd of practically all the weaevils
oa his farm, and thus materially re-
duce the damage to next years crop
Every bit of cotton should be pck-
ed as early as possible, and then the
stalks should be cut and put under az
least inches or dirt, or burned. This
will destroy the weevils before they
get out of the cotton fields into winter
quarters. If this is done, there will
be comparatively few of them to be-
gin the attack on next years crop.

In this day of sharp. close competi-

half-hearted results.
Some people have not the moral
courage. the persistence, the force of
character, to get the things out of
the way which stand between them
and their ambition. They allow them
selves to be pushed this way and that
way into things for which they have
no fitness or taste. They haven't
strengthened their backbone, their
will power sufficiently to enable them
to fight their way to their goal. In
fact they have no goal. no definite pur-
pose in view. and they get nowhere.
Without definite aim II is impos-
sible to make any headway, to get

Nobody ever drifts into anything de-

We are told so often that we are
nation OF wasters that we grow
tired of hearing about it We must
feel much as child feels who is con-
stantly nagged with the fact that he
is a bad boy-or girl, as the case may
be And it would be the part OF
kindness if everybody would stop
chiding US with our wastefulness.
However, perhaps this incessant
chiding is doing us some good. Not
many children become good simply
because they are not allowed to for
get that they are bad. But don't we
substitute stews for tenderloins oft
ener than we used TO? And haven't
we learned to make soups from left

August 6-La Valliere.

To say that a woman who gained
her place in history a kings mis-
tress was distinguished for virtue and
piety seems like an absurdity. but
such was the case with Louise La VAL
liere, the beautiful and fascinating fa
vorite Of Louis XIV. She was born
in Tourraine in 1874 and received her
introduction to the charming young
king as maid of honor to the Duchess
of Orleans. At the time of their meet
ing she was II years old. She had fair
hair and blue eyes and a good color.
a charming smile and an expression
tender and modest Her voice was
beautiful and in spite of the fact that
she limped slightly she was a delight
full dancer. She has been spoken of as
more graceful than beautiful"
What made Louise La Falliere diff
ferent from other women who received
the doubtful honor of being loved by
Louis XIV was that she was without
ambition. naive and sincere. There is
no doubt of the fact that she yielded
to the kings wishes because she truly
loved him, or that of all the women
whom he courted none were the equai
of Louise La Valliere in his estima-
tion.
From the time that she became his
mistress the king lavished enormous
funds for entertainments given for
her. but all the time she was in the
background and il was not known
that she was his mistress until the le
gitimating of her two children made
the fact public. There had been four
children, but two had died in infancy.
For a little while after the king
wearied of her. Louise acted as maid
Of honor to Nine. de Montespan, her
successor, in order to be near to the
man she still loved. But in 1874. when
she was 33. she left the court forever.
solemnly begged the queens pardon
for what she had done and entered a
Carmalite convent never again to leave
1t during the twenty-six remaining
years of her life. That her repent
ance was sincere there can be no doubt
and when Nine. de Montespan fell out
of favor with the king it was to La
Sister Louise de La Mis-
she went for advice.
1t is said that even in the cloister this
woman retained her ex
charm.
