Our Soldier Boys

Our first Soldier boys left Sun
day for Fort Bliss in answer to
their country's call for Volun-
teers. Homer Holmes, Ellis Alb
ernathy and Barry Kirby, were
the three accepted for Military
duty out of the number that offer
ed them selves. The restrictions
of the service leaves many at
home who would gladly go to the
front if they we're allowed to go
A dozen or more volunteers
are waiting to be accepted as
soon as the Recruiting Office is in
position to accept them,
The people of Roy have spared
no pains to show their apprecia-
ton of our first heros of the
World War. A party in their
honor at the home of the Martin
family Thursday evening was at
tended by more than 60 people
and enjoyed the hospitality Of
the home while showing their ad
miration for the volunteers,
A public meeting was held at
the Hall Saturday night at which
more than a hundred men and
women were present. A pro-
gram of patriotic music and
speeches was followed by lunch
con and the volunteers were
guests Of honor along with six
native boys who had declared
their intention to enlist. The
plans and needs of the Army
were presented by Postmaster
Johnson who is acting as Recruit
ing officer and who presided at
the meeting.
A patriotic Program was also
given by the Roy Schools Friday
afternoon at which the Volun-
teers were guests of honor.
Almost the entire Populace of
the town was at the depot Sun
day when the boys left for the
front to bid them good-by and
wish them a safe return. The
people are at last aroused to a
comprehension of the gravity of
the situation and there are men
enough here subject to Military
duty to fill up our quota easily
when the boys realize that it is
fighting for their country they
are needed for and net merely
training in Military camps.

WARNING AGAINST
WEEv|L CATCHERs

The people of the South, of this state
and of this county, have been warned
time and time again. not to invest their
good, hard-earned money in worthless
boil weevil catchers, eXterminators,
weevil proof cotton and so on. But
still they persist-and every day some
poor fellow who really needs the
money; buys for himself machine
that will enable him to get rich in
short time by exterminating his arch
enemy, the boil weevil, from his fields
at a mere trife of expense.
And 10 and behold! When the Quack
has extracted from him the price for
the machine and silently left the coun-

boil weevil push cart to the fields 10

having active symptoms of the dis
ease, and in being bitten by mos
quito spread the infection.
The first principal, therefore, is thai
every one suffering from malaria fever
should continue treatment long enough
to prevent his injecting from the mos
quito; and at same time await the
possibility of developing relapse. The
family physician should be consulted
in regard to this matter.
Quinine, if taxed regularly, will pre-
vent malaria. Persons exposed to
ncalaria should therefore take small
doses of quinine Where persons are
unusually exposed at night in very
malaria regions, three to five grains OF
quinine should be taken during the
height o fthe malarial season. The
dose for a child must be one grain OF
quinine for every three years Of age
The continued use of quinine will do
no harm.

ough to merit the approval, or which
received the endorsement Of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture.
Until you find such machine I would
advise you to let them severely alone.
For most weevil catchers are made to
coax dollars from your pocket and not
to catch weevils.
| have seen some in Sumter county
this week that good money has already
been spent for and | am afraid more
has been spent for them than will ever
be realized by their use. 1t would be
very stupid weevil that would allow
himself to be caught in any such hum
bug of trap.
The best thing the farmer can do
is to exercise sane judgment, cultivate
his cotton rapidly, catch all the weevils
he can with his fingers before the
squares begin to form, and then pick
up the punctured squares ahead of
each cultivation. If he will do this
constantly there is no reason why he
shouldn't make three-fourths of a
normal crop on the proper acreage.
There are three classes of farmers
in this county-viz THOSE who
profit by the experiences of others. q
Those who profit only by their own ex-
perience. 3-Those who do not profit
by the experiences of others nor their
own. To which class do you belong?
Yours very truly,
w. ]. BOYETT, County Agent.
