TESTERS LETTER
BY John Elkins

Mrs. John Lester picked up the
mornings ma which had just been
slipped under the door of the apart
ment. One letter in Enthusiastically
feminine handwriting she started to
open when she saw that the address
began with Mr." instead Of Mrs, "
so she stopped and looked cUrioUsly
at it, trying to recall the ChirOgraphy
of her various friends, but finally de-
cided this was entirely strange to
her. She handed it to her husband
with a puzzled and eXpectant air.
She thought he would at once tell
her who it was from. But he read it
hurTiedIy, thrust it back in the en-
velOpe and said nothing. It seemed
to her an anxious look came into his
eyes. He did not leave the letter ly-
ing on the table but put it carefully
in his pocket. All these things Grace

CIRCUS DAY NOVEMBER 6.

THE modern circus clown is "a
paradox. He is the same as in the
days of Dan Rice, away back in the
last century, and yet he is a diff
ferent clown"
Thus declares one of the advance
men Of John Robinson's Ten Big
Shows, which are scheduled to APP
pear in Grenada, Nov. 6,afternoon
and evening. Continuing the circus
mar says, "The same in that he paints
his face in vermillion and white and
adheres to the time-honored ridiculous
patterns in his dress; different be-
cause of the fact that his work to-
day is practically all ~pantomines,
whereas that of the ancient clown
used to be composed of singing, re-
citing and hurting jokes, during the
rendition of action Of which on other
act would be permitted to work.
"Albeit the voice of the clown
isn't heard with such insistency to-
day. nevertheless he is just rs I'M
portant an adjunct to the circus as
he was in the early days. In fact,
he and the equestrian director are
indispensable to the tent show.
This change in the clowns meth

| of the shifting conditions in the cir.
Gus world. In We olden time, wher
one ring suficed. the tent was ne
cessarily small, a fact which permit
tod the clown to be distinctly hearc

Al that period, one act at a time
was quite enough for such a limited
audience. And the clown being OBJ
liged to contribute his share to thu
program, happily hit upon the pleas
ing and successful idea of singing
joking and reciting.

May Admit Yams

Public hearings on proposed quaran- tines against the shipments of sweet po- tatoes and yams to the continental Unit ed States from Porto Rico and Hawaii and all foreign countries are announced py the Secretary of Agriculture to be neId at 10 a. m, November 20, 1917 in Room Il, federal horticultural board, United States department of agriculture. Washington, D. c.
 The quarantnes are contemplated he cause Of information that two injurious insects, the sweet potato root-borer and the sweet potato scarabee, not widely prevalent in the United States, occur Tn Porto Rico and Hawaii; that sweet po- tato weevils occur in Cuba Haiti, Jamai- ca. British Guiana, India, China. Cochin China, Friendly Islands, Sumatra For mosa, Philippine Islands, Australia, Mad agascar and Liberia and that the sweet potato scarabee occurs in the Barbados Antigua, Nevis, St. Vincent, St Kits Jamaica.

 The insects referred to are described as very destructive to sweet potatoes and yams."
 The total importations of sweet po- tatoes and yams during 1912 and 1916. in elusive. was 40,27S bushels. Of these im- portations 62.S per cent came from Cuba.

Clean Cotton Fields

Next years boil weevils can be fought very effectively today. The bureau of entomology of the United States depart ment of agriculture urges that all weeds and rubbish be cleaned out of cotton rlelds throughout the south at this time. All stalks still standing in the field should be destroyed by the time of frost or as soon thereafter as pos sible. This cleaning up will decrease the possible destruction by boil weevils next year. The species is greatly reduced in numbers this year. but although the boil weeviFs 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.
 A concerted campaign throughout the south, if taken up immediately and pressed vigorously will save a consider able amount of cotton next summer Quick action is the watchword for this work. Reports to the bureau of ento- mology from all field men in the cotton belt and from state entomologists in dicate that this has been one of the lightest boil weevil years since the pest entered the country The only sections in which the damage has been compar- atively heavy are the Sea Island sec tions of Florida and southern Georgia and the northern portions of the Misss- sippi delta. The cold weather of the early part of 1916 caused a falling back of the weevil around the entire limits of it's dispersion last year and resulted in great reduction of weevils through out the south. However, about August l. the weeyils began to regain some of this territory and reports indicate that there will be some points which have
 emained infested throughout the year. These places will be foci for dispersion this fall. Therefore. it is very import ant that concerted campaign be un- dertaken now to clean up the fields and lessen further the boil weevil damage next year.

CASE AGAINST RATS AND MICE1

Rats and mice are among the worst animal pests in the world, according to biologists of the United States depart- ment of agriculture
 From their home among filth they visit dwellings and storerooms to pollute and destroy human food.
 The rat carries bubonic plague and many other diseases fatai to man and has no doubt been responsible for more un- timely deaths among human beings than all wars of history
 In the United States rats and mice de- stroy each year in homes, in factories, stores, and warehouses, in cars and on ships, crops. poultry, and other property valued at more than s200,000-an amount equivalent to the gross earnings of an army of 100000 men.
 Grain. eaten and wasted by rats and mice on many farms, would pay all the farmers taxes.
 Rats and mice breed from to 10 times year, producing their destructive Kind at an alarming rate.
 They are parasites without a single re- deeming characteristic.
 How states, communities and individuals can help eliminate rats and mice, with measures suggested by biologists of Unit ed States department of agriculture:
 By requiring that all new buildings wharxes, and other structures be rat proof that existing buildings of rat proof construction be further protected
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-11-15

by having basement windows and drains covered with screens, gratings, etc; and that existing buildings that are not rat proof be made so by remodelling.
 By constructing sewers and drains so that they will not provide entrance and retreat for rats.
 By insisting on greater cleanliness aoout markets. stores and generally throughout the cities, villages, and the country districts
 By threshing and marketing again early so that stacks will not furnish har- porilg places and food for rats.
 by removing piles of straw, trash and lumber which harbor rats in fields and vacant lots
 by protecting the hawks, owls and oth- CT natural enemies of rats which are not SC destructive to poultry as rats them selves.
 By keeping we'll trained rat dogs on farms and about city warehouses.
 By Keeping provisions which rats and mice Will attack in rat-proof and mousse proof containers
 by destroying rats and mice systemat lcaiiy by poisoning, trapping, and by or ganized systematic hunts.
 By arousing public opinion to the rea1 izatlon of the importance of exterminar- ing rats and mice
