CLEAN Up COTTON FIELDS. j


Washington, D. c. Nov. s. Next
years boil weevils can be fought verv
effectively today. The Bureau of En-
tomo.ogy Of the United States De-
parment of Agriculture urges that
al. weeds and rubbish be cleaned out
Of cotton fields throughout the South
a, this time. All stalks still stand
ing in the field should be DESTROYED bv
the time of frost or as soon thereaf-
ter as possible. This cleaning up will
decrease the possible destruction of
boil weevilS next year. The species
is greatly reduced in numbers this
year but although the boil weevil's
strength is weakened at present he
will try to regain some ground next
year. To destroy weeds. rubbish, and
stalks now is to destroy to a large ex-
tent his prospective army for that
drive next season.
\ concerted campaign throughout
the south, if taken up immediately
and pressed vigorously, will save a
amount of cotton next
summer. Quick action is the watch
word for this work. Reports to the
Bureau of Entomology from all field
men in the cotton belt and from State
antomologistS indicate that this has
been one of the lightest boil weevil
years since the pest entered the coun-

BOMB KILLED
 KITCHENER
Scotland Yard Unearths Real Cause Oi Crusier's Loss with Head of
 British Army

NEW YORK, July 27.-Out of the accustomed silence of Scotland Yard, England's secret service headquarters, comes the startling announcement that the disaster which cost Lord Kitchener and his staff their lives, was caused not by his ship striking mine but by bomb placed aboard the boat by a German spy.
 This bald announcement is enrich ed by few details for "silence and se- crecy" is the motto of the Yard and until the incident is absolutely closed nothing concerning it is ever given out and then, very little.
 It is known that the perpetrator of the crime was a German who had been educated in England, masquer- aded as an Englishman and commis- stoned in the British navy.
 Lord Kitchener and his staff were en route to Russia on the cruiser Hampshire when the ship went down off the West Orkney Islands. Not a man of the crew of three hundred were saved. It is considered remark able that a German could so com pletely work himself into the conf dence of high naval authorities as to have been able to have access to the vessel on which the distinguished party embarked.
 Efforts were made to clear up the mystery of the ships sinking but the general public believed it must have struck a mine. It remained for Scot land Yard to find the true cause which robbed the nation of it's war leader.

SPINSTERS HELP MAKE TOWN
 PROSPEROUS, SAYS SCIENTIST

University of Washington, July 19. The more old maids there are, the more prosperous the village, main tains Professor Trevor Kincaid of the zoology department, dropping into economics. He proves it thus: "The more old maids there are, the more cats there are; the more cats there are, the less field mice there are; the less field mice there are, the more bees there are; the more bees there are, the better the clover is fertilized; the better the clover crop, the more prosperous the village; therefore, the more old maids there are, the more prosperous the village is."
 The relation between cats and the clover crop has been proven in many parts of the world.

PRESIDENT 10
 STOP LEAKS
German Owned Insurance Companies Prohibited from Operating m the
 United States

NEW YORK, N. Y., July 27.-Presi- dent Wilson has isseud proclamation prohibiting German-owned marine in- surance companies from operating in the United States, on the ground that they are thus enabled to transmit ship ping information and details of sail ingS toward Germany.
 Congress, after debating the air pro- gram for four hours, decided to in- form the War Department that it was desirable to withhold information from Germany in respect to all war ac- tivities. Several CongresSmen severe ly criticised the recent publication of aviation details and it was agreed to put the censorship lid on more tightly in the future, and to maintain a dis erect silence on important war prepa- rationS in the future.
