County Judge philpot's wisdom

County Judge Philpot's wisdom in declining to issue scrip in large amount for sny improvement unless arrangements are made to take up and hold the scrip so issued, is em- phasized by the results that have followed the issuance. of scrip for a million-d dollar courthouse in Pu- laski. The finances of Pulaski are now reported in bad shape, and scrip is quoted at S5 and 90 after being at par for 15 years. An official cannot be too careful in handling the public finances.

In other words, the lady claims to have solved the ques- ton of the Eigh cost of dying, but we doubt if this will create an increased demand for caskets, although her own business may be enlarged through these progressive methods

BOIL
WEEVIL IS.
co N M and
Pest Reported to Have Spread Over
Half Of Oklahoma; Appears
10 Northern Part OF
Grady Comfy

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Oct. ls.AThe
unusual storms Of August and the
very rapid multiplication of the boil
weevil in Texas have resulted in q
tremendous movement into north
western Texas and Oklahoma This
movement is probably not yet com
pleted, nor has it been entirely
mapped out The indications are that
over half of the state of Oklahoma is
now tOct I'D infested Information
has just been received that the boll
weevil is at Vernon in Wilbarger
county, Texas, and at Cache in
Comanche county and Minco in the
extreme northern part of Grady
county, Oklahoma. Unless immediate
measures are taken by the planters
throughout Oklahoma and northwest
ern Texas it can be expected that the
boil weevil will do some damage next
year
The bureau of entomology advises
that the planters throughout Okla
homa and Che supposedly infested sec
tions of Texas begin Immediately to
pick their cotton and destroy the
plants. BY destroying the plants the
developing weevils will be killed.
Two methods OF destruction are avail
able. If the plants can be plowed
under to 4 or inches this is the most
desirable method of procedure, other
wise they should be stacked in wind
rows and burned as soon as dry.
After destroying the plants prepa.
ration should be made for winter
cover crop and for rotation of crops
next year.
The weevil has maintained its posi-
tion in Arkansas and has probably ex-
tended its area little farther north
in the western portions. The entire
state of Mississippi is infested and
the weevil is now known to be in Nc
Marry and Hardin counties, Tenn.
Tennessee planters along the entire
southern border should take the same
precautions that have been recon-
mended to Oklahoma planters.
Probably only four or five counties
in the mountainous sections of north
eastern Alabama will escape infesta-
tion by the boil weevil this year, Over
thirty counties in western Georgia are
already known to be infested and
there is no doubt but that five more
will be recorded soon. Planters in
Georgia and Alabama, whether in in
tested counties or not Should take
immediate measures to destroy the
cotton stalks and prepare the fields
for winter cover crops.

WORST MONTH FOR CHILDREN
Nest Trying Period That the

What is the stormiest month of the

Some will say the month of May be-
cause the children are so eager then
to get out of doors after their long
winter Imprisonment Others will say
February is the hardest month be-
cause nature is so unkind at that time
that everyone feels irritable. But If
you will ask a thoughtful teacher this
question, she will say The month of
September is the most difficult of all,
because then the pupils are restless.

almost impossible to make them do
any good work during this month"
The best way to solve the problem
is to bring pupils slowly to the fun

ought to spend more than two hours
a day in the schoolhouse during the
first week They may add a halfhour
to this each succeeding week until
the regulation program is attained.
The very young tots should spend not
more than an hour and half in school
each day of the first week, and they
should be brought more gradually

as a whole. more work will be accom-

on the top of the page, in huge head
lines, was the question:
WHO Is the Author OF When We
We're Young'?"
THE Publishers Statement"
CIarice deyoured the long article
that followed. The publishers an
nounced that they had received the
manuscript, written in longhand, and
apparently the work of an amateur,
six months before. A cursory survey
had revealed novel of an uncommon
type. 1t had been read with an enthu-
siasm that even the most hardened
reader in the firm was not proof
against. It's setting of country life,
its truth, its fidelity, its scorn of the
picturesque had demanded instant pub
lication. And the reading public had
endorsed it by purchasing ninety thou
sand copies of it, But who was the
author? The publishers statement
that they did not know was believed
to be genuine II was no advertising

genius lay hidden. watching with
amusement the frantic efforts Of the
public to discover her identity--for

Clarice let the paper fall She had
not the dimmest idea of the value of
her book to her. How much was it
worth? A hundred dollars? Two hun

And TO reveal the truth she saw
the slow estrangement that must fol
low. Simple as she was, she almost
fntuitively discerned the results of
publicity, her husbands inability to
live the new life that would open be-
fore her, her struggle between the old
and the new. And Jim was very dear
to her. And then she blushed
as she thought of that other reason
that bound them together in bonds
that none might break.
"Claricel Clarice dearls
She rose from her chair.
Jim dearl" she answered.
And what was wretched old. stupid
novel in comparison with Jim?
