PROTESTING
AGAINST TIL:
BOIL WORM
ALL POSSIBLE STEPS ARE BEING
TAKEN BY INSPECTORS OF THE
ERAL HORTICULTURAL
BOARD.

Washington. Jan. 15.-Since the
discovery early in November that the
Egyptian pink bollwornt is present in
the cotton fields of the Laguna dis.
trict of Mexico, about 200 miles south
of the Texas border, the federal horti-
cultural board of the U. S. department
Of agriculture has taken all possible
steps in Texas to make sure that the
; destructive pest has not entered and
does not enter this country. The four
hundred or more carloads of cotton
seed which entered the United States
/ from Mexico last year have been
traced to oil mills in Texas and the
attention Of the operEors of these
plants has been called to the desira.
bility of crushing the Mexican seed
as soon as possible and Of thoroughly
cleaning their premises to make cer-
tain that none of the insects survive.
Most of the imported seed already has
been crushed, but few consignments
which arrived early in the season
have been covered with large amounts
of domestic seed and Will not be reach
ed until later.
The federal horticultural board
plans to have its inspectors keep close
watch over these establishments to
minimize the possibility of the escape
of pink bollworms on their moths. II
lis also planned to have inspectors
carefully examine all cotton fields in
the neighbOrhood of these establish
ments during the coming growing sea
son in order that any Of the insects
which may escape and establish them
selves on cotton plants may be earl,
detected and destroyed.
The inspectors of the department of
agriculture so far have not discovered
infested seed in Texas. A number of
carloads of seed in which the insects
were present have been found, how
ever, on the Mexican side of the bor-
der awaiting entry. A quarantine
against all cotton seed from Mexico
was placed in effect early in November
and neither the infested seed discoy-
cred at the border nor any other cot
ton seed originating in Mexico has
since been permitted to enter this
country.

Woman and Her Beauty.

Woman is the master stroke Of beau
'ty. Woman is the jewel in the crown.
No chisel ever carved such lines of
softness; no painter ever put such lus-
ter in the eye. Nature nodded cliffs
and gave us twilights, gave us the
horizon In the east and west; gave us
the flowing, shimmering river that
travels toward the sea; let the moon
beams glimmer on the tranquil ocean;
gave us flowers with their fluffy pet
ais, some soft and snowy white, 9th
ers tinted all the colors Of the rain
bow. Yet when all has been looked
upon, when all the landscapes have
been viewed with wonder, man turns
back to something stronger turns back
to that which soothes and heals, back
to that which satisfies the eye and
heartstrings-woman, the browning glo-
ry Of all revealed.-St. Louis Post-Dis-
patch.

Start of Our Navy.

The United States navy has the dis
tinction OF being somewhat older than
the government itself, for nine months
before the actual Declaration of indie
pendence congress authorized the con-
struction of two national cruisers
and appointed a committee to purchase
vessels to form the nucleus Of a fleet.
Within three months of it's appoint
ment this committee got together four
teen armed vessels and appointed a
personnel Of officers, among whom was
the famous old sea dog, John Paul
Jones. During the war Of the Revolu-
ton the infant navy captured as many
as 800 prizes, but suffered SO heavily
that by the time peace was declared it
had almost ceased to exist. A new
start on a more ambitious scale was
made in 1894.
