weevil is worst, is cut rs per cent,
which we believe. in view Of the eli
matte conditions already referred to,
may be expected, we will have loss
of iGS,375 bales.
The reader in the northern half Of
the cotton belt is naturally curious
to know what degree OF weevil dam
age he may expect. The best an
swer We can give is that while dam
age in Louisiana AND Mississippi
south Of parallel 33 has been about
77.5 per cent. average damage de-
creases steadily as we move north
ward from the gulf coast. For in
stance, the decrease in production in
Mississippi has been as follows, to
and including the year 1915. Be-
tween 81 and 81 II, 91.S per cent;
between 81 h and 80, S3.1 per cent;
between 32 and 32A, 77.4 per cent;
between 32h and 33, 5S.5 per cent,
and between 33 and "a, 34.6 per
cent. In Arkansas, the loss between
33 and "a, from the biggest cotton
year before the weevil to the worst
year after the coming of the weevil,
amounts to 26.S per cent. Above
parallel 34 nowhere in Texas, Okla
hOma, Arkansas or Mississippi had
the weevil prior to 1916 occasioned
crop decreases as heavy as had re-
suited from bad seasons before the
weevil came. This year, with an eX-
traordinarily wet season, the weevil
has been severe in northeast Missis-
sippi considerably north Of parallel
"a. However, excessive weevil dam
age has never before occurred so far
north. and it is the writer's opinion
that it may be dozen years before
it occurs again.
When may heavy weevil damage
be expected in Georgia and South
Carolina? The answer is that 1917
will find the weevil severe in South
west Georgia; there will probably
Georgia in 1918, and by 1919 all the
southern half Of the State will be
hard hit. South Cardinals turn,
roughly, may be expected to come
about 1919 or 1920, with increasing
damage for three or four years,
when a maximum will be reached.
(Note.--South Carolina territory
below parallel 33 includes all Of
Beaufort and Jasper counties, the ex-
treme lower corner of Barnwell, all
Of Hampton except very small cor
ner about three-fourths Of Colleton,
about one-fourth of Dorchester, pos
sibly one twelfth Of Berkeley and

the same proposition, and on the
same terms, to any local church
preferably Bethel Baptist church)
in the aforementioned association.
If Bethel alone should feel unable
to comply with these conditions,
then two or three other Baptist
churches. as First Westminster
Baptist church, Westminster Bap-
tist church and Emmanuel Baptist
church, might unite with her in
the adoption Of said orphan; and
the orphan, thus adopted to be
known as the ward of the church
or churches so adopting the said
orphan, as the case may be.
If any or all Of the aforemen-
toned churches should accept this
offer and raise the $500 in ques-
ton, it is not expected that they
shall lessen their contributions to
the current support of the orphan
age, but they shall meet all their
apportionments.

the aforementioned conditions is
to become available Immediately

A Distinctive Reason

What is the chief reason for the superb
ority of Royal Baking Powder
There several good reasons, but there
is one which distinguishes Royal from other :
baking powders.
This reason, which every woman should
know, is that Royal Baking Powder is made
from cream of tartar, which comes from
grapes. This means healthful fruit origin.
1t means natural food distinguished from
mineral substitutes used in other baking

There are IA. 200, 900 men in Mex
ico," writes Harry H. Dunn in Car
toon's Magazine, whose coy is free
money and free women" and who
never will make peace until the rope
of a hangman breaks their necks or
the bullets of a firing squad spatter
their blood on an adobe wall"
Mr.. Dunn, who was formerly editor
of a Mexico City newspaper contin-
ues."
THE average wage for such labor
as any man among the Ia, 1000, 900 can
furnish is less than so cents, Ameri-
can currency, a day. But any man
can steal a horse and a machete, and
join one of more than 300 bandit
gangs operating through Mexico.
Out of his share of the loot of the
first village or hacienda he will get
a saddle, all the liquor he can drink
and the unfortunate daughter or
wife of some countryman-for wo-
men are the cheapest commodity in
Mexico. Possibly, he will get a rifle
and ammunition. if not at the first
raid at least at the second, and he
can keep out of the fighting until he
has armed himself, yet share in the
proceeds of his fellow bandits loot
ing. How much cheaper it is to get
horses, arms, food, drink and cloth
ing merely by shooting down their
rightful owners than it is to work for
them at so cents a day.
1.-THE new bandit notes that few
of his companions are killed in pro-
portion to the loot they get and the
easy life they live. that many small
garrisons of government troops, I'M
derpaid and poorly fed, join the high
waymen. rather than give them bat
tie, and he begins to sing the Spanish
equivalent of This is the life."

KEEPING THE BOY IN SCHOOL

Goldfeld Tribune: AS the school
year draws to its close. many of the
older children become anxious to
quit and go to work. This is not for
the purpose of acquiring a bank &C
count. Nor is it often a desire to
assist in family support. Principally
it is the longing for pocket money,
for candy. picture shows, etc. The
boy who has gone to "clerking'' and
can boldly with his own money line
up a row of girls to an ice cream
soda counter is the particular hero
of this period.
1t is enough to make a teacher
heartsick to see the children that
drop out with their education "fn-
ished." They don't know the rudi-
ments of American citizenship. They
haven't enough arithmetic to make
change at a candy counter. They
have no manual skill. For years.
perhaps always, they must dig bitches
and sweep floors. These are honor
able tasks, if well done. But they
provide no solid basis for advance
ment, for growth in intelligence and
the education of the next generation.
The educator who can think up a
scheme to keep these restless young
sters in school is a benefactor to his
community and the State. And his
work usually gets the recognition of
a good salary. He is scarce.
One high school principal whose
work is widely known makes athletics
compulsory. The dull boy has his
place on the class team to defend.
That atones for some shortage of
pennies. The parents will usually
go hungry to keep them going. 1t
is tough on them, but it pays infinite
ly. Work on school gardens OF with
tools keeps boys in line in many plac:
IS. The boy who is acquiring real
skill with a ! lathe thinks twice before
taking a job as floor sweeper.
The teacher will have to come
down to some plain and practical
talk about dollars and cents. She
should show that graduation at the
seventh grade means the shovel gang,
while the high school means a chance
for the bank and the business Office.

KILLS WIFE IN SUICIDE PACT
George Ham Of Tuscarora Then Fails To
Kill Himself % Agreed

George Ham, a well-known charac-
ter. who has lived in Tuscarora for
almost q year, shot and killed his
wife at that place Wednesday night
after they had entered into a COM
pact to brave the great unknown to-
gether. He was to shoot his wife
and Immediately turn the gun on
himself, but after sending a ball
crashing through his wife's heart
and lungs his courage failed him and
when he placed the muzzle of the
gun to his head the pressure of the
trigger pulled the gun upwards and
the ball went through the roof in
stead of his head.
Throwing the gun to the end of
the Dol he threw himself on the
bed by the side of his wife and when
found was moaning and crying and
had the body of his wife in his arms.
Last Tuesday he had told certain
of his friends in Tuscarora that if he
didn't come down town the next
morning that he would be dead. and
this was brought to mind when the
sound of two shots were heard We'd
nesday night. Investigation by the
officers revealed the crime and word
was at once sent to Elko. Ham is
in Jail.
Both Ham and his wife were said
to have been dope fiends and had
been employed in the county hospi-
tai at Elko up to June last year.
When the drastic law went into eff
feet which has been the means of
practically shutting off all opiates to
the dope fiends they had a hard time
Of it, suffering every hour both day
and night. Many times they told
their friends that they were going to
end it and kill themselves.
