INSIST THAT WOMEN
BE PROPERLY DRESSED
Advance Thought Women Will Have
to Wear More Clothes.


The new Providence township COM
mittee of New Jersey has served no.
tice on the women of Free Acres, an
advance Thought" colony, that they
will have to wear more clothes than
they have been doing when they trav-
ell through the public streets.
Harry G. Lucas, chairman of the
committee, complained of the lack of
attire of the women and requested
that the committee take up the ques-
ton. Mr.. Lucas said the women of
Free Acres wore a uniform consist
ing of boomers, blouses and stock
ings.
"What little they do wear is too
white and by far too snug fitting"
he said. eve owe it to the younger
generation of this township to stop
the practice, as it is a menace to the
morals of our children"

UNITED STATES TO ASSIST
IN REBUILDING OF EUROPE
HEAVY ORDERS FOR RAILS
FROM ALLIES FOR FUTURE
RAILROAD CONSTRUCTION.

The rebuilding of war-shattered
Europe is receiving increasing atten-
ton and the United States is expect
ed to assist in the regeneration by
supplying rails, track materials, cars
and locomotives.
The French government some time
ago ordered $4,000 tons of rails from
the Pennsylvania Steel Company. An
additional order of $4,000 tons has
been placed in this country. Sup
Elementary tonages contracted for
bring the total up to about 175,000
tons. The Russian government is
seeking to place contracts for about
100000 tons in addition to several
allotments placed earlier in the year.
The italian State Railways have been
seeking to place 10000 tons.
The problem of delivery will have
to be solved. The difficulty of get
tings mills to accept orders will be
the greatest drawback. In each in
stance where inquiries nave been
made for rails and cars representa-
tives of the foreign governments
have assumed the responsibility OF
finding bottoms in which to ship the
products. The question of price does
not enter into negotiations. The fac
that rail mills and car plants have
their outputs contracted for man!

Boil Wecvn Is Busy In Georgia;
Board Advises Picking by Hand

! der buds, squares or blooms. Most OF
the cotton in South Georgia is now
putting on squares, and it is upon
! these that the weevils will center
their attacks They feed to some ex-
tent upon the squares and deposit
their eggs in them, one egg being
placed in each square. The square
turns yellow, flares open and falls to
the ground.
If as many as fifty weevils to the
acre are found, the board recommends
hand picking of weevils and infested
squares. Weevils and infested squares
should be collected and burned or
buried deep enough to prevent the
adults from emerging.
The figures of the United States Bu-
reau of Entomology on the hand pick
ing Of weevils, show that gain of %
per cent was made in yield, where it
was practiced, at a cost of $3.50 per
acre. This consisted of five pickings,
How To Pick BY Hand.
If the weevils are abundant, hand
picking should be practiced until early
in July. The weevils continue to
emerge from Information, or come out
of their winter quarters under straw
and rubbish, all through July, but
most of them come out in May and
June.
Hand picking of the weevils can be
facilitated by the use of bags attach
ed to barrel hoops. This bag should
be about 20 inches in diameter at the
top, and smaller at the bottom. The
cloth used should be unbleached sheet
ing, drilling or duck.
In using the hoop and sack outfit,
the hoop can be grasped in the hand
and held on the ground close to the
base of the plant. Then the plant
should be bent forward into the open
mouth of the sack, and shaken vigor-
ously so as to make the weevils fall off
into the bag.
The first picking of weevils should
be made at the time the first squares
appear; the second picking about ten
days after the first bloom appears, and
thereafter every five or six days.
Farmers should practice rapid and
shallow cultivation of their cotton,
and continue this cultivation until the
cotton is ready to pick. Cultivation
should be about one and one-half
inches below the surface of the soil.
1t is well to arrange to pillow at least
once a week where possible, and the
cotton should be made to put on
good crop of bolls just as quickly as
can be done. These methods will
prove of material value in the making
of a fair crop even under boil weeTil
conditions.

M|LL|ONAIRES ARE OFF
TO THE ARTIC SEAS
THE MOST REMARKABLE VOY-
AGE EVER UNDERTAKEN GOT
UNDER WAY SUNDAY.

SEATTLE, Wash.-The most re-
markable voyage ever undertaken to
the Arctic seas got away Sunday.
On the staunch new Arctic ship,
the Great Bear, which was especially
built for buffeting the ice and jam
ming its way northward in any kind
of seas, millionaires, women and chill
dren Joined with veteran whalers and
arctic navigators as members of the
ships company.
An aristocratic crew donned oil
skins and hip boots aboard the Great
Bear when she sailed. Several
whales, if any are discovered, will
have the pleasure of being dispatched
by a millionaire, for at least three
of the crew rank as such.
The voyagers will not only hunt
for whales and polar bears, but will
keep an eye out for Steffanson, the
daring explorer who will complete this
summer his remarkable journey of
exploration for the Dominion of Can

Captain Louis Lane, commander Of
the unique expedition that sailed OF
the Great Bear, is the man who help
ed Steffansson out at vital point IL

plorer with two companions were res
cued from an ice shelf, provided witt
supplies and new ship and sent for
ward to complete the investigation
of the land in the north.

Atlanta, June.-(SpeciaL) Just be
cause the Mexican cotton boil weeyi
has been somewhat inactive during
the spring months, due almost entirely
to dry weather conditions, is no rea
son to believe it will not show up in
large numbers in many, If not all, Of
the counties where it was found last
year.
The boil weevil was actually found
asst fall, live and active, in about for
ty Georgia counties, according to the
records of the State Board of Ento-
mology. This spring, department in
spectors have made careful search in
practically every county, for the re-
appearance of the insect, and the last
of May found it for the first time in
large numbers.
Since the recent rains the weevil is
coming out much more rapidly, and
inspections in Decatur county at the
end of May showed them to be quite
abundant Unconfirmed reports are
vii in many other counties where it
was found last fall, and these are be-
ing investigated.
Cowpea WeeViI Caused Alarm.
Considerable alarm has been caus-
ed in some of the counties where the
boil weevil was found last year, over
the discovery of the cowpea pod wee
vii in cotton planted after cowpeas.
This insect feeds on the cotton plant,
but is rarely sufficiently abundant to
do serious damage. This is small,
snout beetle, and while 1t has slight
resemblance to the boil weevil, it is
very much darker in color, and varies
in shape as well as habits.
Technically it is quite different, and
is very easily distinguished from the
boil weevil.
Nevertheless, the board advises
farmers to send all insects which they
suspect are boil weevils, direct to the
department for examination.
The department has recently issued
a bulletin on the Mexican Cotton boil
weevil, which contains all information
needed with regard to its life history,
habits and methods of control 1t has
also issued a circular on the varieties
of cotton to be planted for boil weevil
conditions. Both of these publications
will be sent to anyone desiring them,
upon request
Examine Fields Carefully.
The Board advises farmers in all
where the weevil has been
found, to examine their fields very
carefully for the weevil, says State
Entomologist E. Lee Worsham. They
should closely examine the young, ten

ALABAMA TROOPS
9 CAME IN ARMED
Governor Harris Says 1t Is Up to
the Solicitor General of Circuit

Following the recent action of Gov
ernor Harris declining to grant per-
mission requested by the adjutant
general of Alabama to allow mem
bers of the Alabama national guard
on duty at Girard, Ala, to cross into
Columbus, Ca, with arms T. F. Joerg,
citizen of Columbus, has written

Nash of Georgia stating that the AL
ALBANIA militia men are coming into
Columbus under arms and that So
licitor Palmer takes the position that
under the pistol law of Georgia they
are not violating the law and that he,
therefore, will not prosecute them.
Adjutant General Nash has called
the matter to the attention of Gov
ernor Harris, and the governor states
that the entire matter is question
for the solicitor general of the cir
cult to settle and one in which the
governors office is in nowise con-
cerned.

SAYS BEWARE OF
THE WALL STREET TOUGH
Cryptic Utterance of "The Wolf" as
He Entered Federal Prison.

Cryptic Utterance of "The Wolf" as
He Entered Federal Prison.
The Wolf of Wall street is safe
behind prison bars at the federal
lookup near Atlanta. AS a last re-
mark to the world before going into
enforced seclusion he said senten-
tiously: Beware of the Wall street
touch"
This is a subject on which he was
qualified to speak with authority, for
he was mixed up in Wall street
enough to coin fortune and buy a
palatial home in Pittsfeld, Mass.
All the way down to Atlanta he
was affably loquacious. But VIXEN
he reached the southern capital and
his hold on freedom began to slip
from his grasp to become suddenly
silent. To question after question
put to him by reporters he remained
silent until he started to board the
street car for his last time for the
period of year, when he gave forth
the cryptic utterance about dear old
Wall street.
Lamar entered the federal prison

guards, who declare that he made at
least 100000 recently in ''war ba-
bies."

ATLANTANS TRYING
TO BREAK 'DROUTH''
"WET GOODS" BUSINESS IN THE
CAPITAL is ON BOOM. LIT
TIE BEER, MORE WHISKY.

ATLANTA.-The ''wet goods
business in Atlanta has begun tc
boom. The "liquor house" of the
express company has become one OF
the busiest places in the city. And
vet. the first two weeks after May !
that place was as dull as country
cross roads grocery store.
Mighty little beer is being shipped,
but a flood of liquor is coming IN
"original packages" Last Saturday
the delivery was above 1000 pack
ages, and for the week there were
more than 10000 packages. This
week opened nearly as strong as last
week closed, and the record, while
not computed yet, will probably go
over $4,000 packages for the seven
DAYS. That equals 10000 quarts a
week, or an average of 100000 a
month, being shipped into and con-
sumed in Atlanta-for which the
cash is going to some other state.
The average price of the "wet goods"
if $1.35 per quart-some of it grades
S1.25 and some of it $3.50.
All Going Out.
Meaning all of which is big ex-
penditure of $4,000 for drinks
with all going out and nothing com
ing in. Figured up into a year it
means that Atlanta will have paid
out-not calculating any increase be-
yond the present stage of the game
a total of $1,944,0O0 for booze, on
which the package mail order houses
are quite willing to pay the express
charges and, therefore, even that lit
tie stipend doesn't stay in Georgia
or in Atlanta.
Behind this is the very noticeable
fact that the mails every day are
flooded with Literature" from the
package houses" telling men, wo-
men and children in the numerous
families of Atlanta that the price of
LIQUOR has been reduced. Thereby,
through the medium of a two-cent
stamp, and the United States postof-
fee, that law passed last year which
bars advertising matter of any kind
on prohibited liquors is being merrily
busted to smithereens every day
and the business is beginning to hum.

TT WAS SOME RACE.

The much talked OF automobile race
was finally held Wednesday. 1t came
up to specifications and expectations
in every way, and that the big crowd
got its moneys worth is not doubted.
There were eleven entries, the first car
leaving the high school building prompt
ly at 8 o'clock, and the balance follow
ing at intervals Of i've minutes. II II.
Edison, driving n Buick-six, who left
at 8 20 was the first car back, return
ing at 2:27; John Miller of Garden
City, also driving Buick, left at 9:l0
and returned at 2;55, and Guy Cradle
OF Guymon, who drove the Hopkins
Ford, left at S s:l5 and returned at :33.
The crowd was lined up about three
deep" along each side of the road for
nearly two miles, and by the time the
cars got out of sight they we're several
miles from town and hitting the high
places in the road, The purse OF $500
was divided 60, 80, and 10 per cent, to
the winners in the order above named
The biggest crowd since circus day last
fall was in town TO see the start and
finish OF the race, and every con-
ceivable bet was made on the result.
Some terrific driving was done owe
various stretches Of good road, but the
roads as whole were not in racing
condition by big shot. The report
came to town about O'Clock that the
Buick driven by Billy Orr had met
with an accident and one man was
killed, bu reports yesterday from
Garden City were to the effect that the
ear met with an accident but no one
was hurt. The whole day was cele-
brated as a holiday by the farmers and
people of surrounding towns, and the
merchants aud business houses report
a n excellent trade from the people
who came to see the race.-Liberal
