PREPAREDNESS
HAT Wins FOR
HONOLULU BOY

Out of 10000 hat designs entered in
an Easter contest for prizes offered
by the San Francisco Chronicle, that
of Honolulu boy won the trophy for
being the most original The boy is
]. Zane, the clever Chinese cartoonist
who won a ar-Bulletin contest last
year and since then has been studying
in San Francisco.
Zane won the prize for the most
original hat design with prepared
ness" creation, showing the hat made
up like a gun-turret, with large hat
pins resembling miniature long can
non barrels, and with miniature can
non balls on top. 1t was simple but
striking design.
. The contest was open only to wo-
men, and Zane thus appears as Miss
J. Zane" in the list of awards, but
the judges awarded another prize to
a man also, the excellence of these
two ideas overcoming the rule against
male competitors. Zane got SO hat
for an award, which he has sent to
his sister here.

EXPERTS INSIST STRONG
 LY ON FALL FLOWING

Agricultural experts are insisting stronger than ever upon the necessity of fall blowing, as the most valuable practical method of controlling the bol weevil. The Arkansas cotton crop has not opened so early in many years and will be out early. As an evidence of the rapid movement, there had been received in Little Rock up to Saturday 2,0S6 bales, against only 590 for the corresponding period last year. Of course the price has something to do with this, for there is less disposition to hold this season than there has been in years.
 The fall blowing advocates say that the cotton stalks, burrs and boIlS should be buried as deeply as possible to destroy the hibernating places of the weevi. The pest has cost the Arkansas farmer hundreds of thous- ands of dollars this year, for its rav- ages have been much more wide spread. The approach of winter finds them more numerous than ever and they can withstand the severest cold if protected by bolls, trash, weeds, grass, old stumps, etc. Burying these deep under the ground early in the fall will rot them before spring, and the spores will have no place to live, It has also been demonstrated that early fall blowing will increase yields the following year. It likewise means less work in the spring in the pre- paration of the soil, and an earlier planting of the crops.

 An increase in the use of better and more expensive types of roads also is shown by the recently compiled sta tistics. This development has been due, in large part, to the great in- crease in automobile traffic. It is estimated that there are now approxi- mately ? 12 million automobiles nj use in the roads of the country, or l car for every mile of road. This present motor traffic is in excess of traffic of all sorts 12 years ago.
 The cash road and bridge expendi- lures of the United States averaged only $2S per mile of rural roads in 1904. In 1915 this average had grown to $l09 per mile. New Jersey led all other states both in 1904 and in 1915 with $221 and $475 per mile respect ively. Nevada made the least expen- diture in both years-$3.72 per mile in 1904 and ST per mile in 1915.
