GUAROSMEN WILL SAIL
TO FRANCE AFTER AUG. 5

Washington, D, G., July 10
The mobilization Of the national
guard for active service was begun
today and while no orders for the
embarkation Of the state troops for
France will he given until August
9Th, when the entire guard will be
drafted into the federal service, the
indications are that the various di-
visions will be regarded as ready to
board transports soon after that
date.
The first units Of the state troops
sent to France will probably have
French artillerymen assigned to duty
with them, as the well recognized
efficiency Of the French artillery is
expected to lend greater effective
ness to their operations.
The departure Of the guardsmen
for France will be governed to a
large extent by the CELEBRITY with
which the shipping problem is sol
ed by the department.

He BEATS THE WEEvIL

Albany, Ca, July IS. Early
planted cotton that its owner asserts
has beat the boil weevil is opening
rapidly on the farm Of G. V.Horne,
in East Dougherty. The first open
boil of the season was brought in
from his fields yesterday. Mr..
Horne planted ten acres Of cotton
on March IA, and he expects to
make a bale to the acre from it
He says he believes that the boil
weevil can be beaten all through
this section if the proper methods
are pursued-early planting, proper
fertilization and frequent cultiva-
ton. He says that a. frost caught
his cotton after it was up, but as it
had not been chopped out there was
sufficient underground to give an
excellent stand. He uses barnyard
manure and home-mixed cotton
seed meal and acid. Although there
are weevils on farms all around
him, his cotton is full Of well-formed
bolls and he has not seen a weeyiI
or punctured square in his field

family had packed their automobile
for a ten-days'outin in Florida and
had started on the journey. Fifty
feet from their home the automo-
bile was hit by the train. The ma
chine stopped directly across the

preached the crossing from over
the top of long grade. 1t is not
thought that the occupants Of the
car could see the train, or the en-
gineer could see the car.

car. His brother, George, walking
up the track from the railway sta
ton, signalled his brother to drive
the car ahead as he could see the
