the ants. OF these predacious insects
special mention should be made from

Many birds are known to eat the
boil weevil to limited extent, but
only a few species of birds are known
to feed on this insect pest to any
great extent, due probably to disa-
greeable flavor. OF the few birds that
have a real economic value in keeping
in check the boil weevil are the swal-
lows, especially the martin, the oriole,
blackbird, meadow lark, shrike, bull
bat and quail. which have value that
should be appreciated by all farmers
intending to grow cotton under boil
weeyil conditions.

lion cubic feet of oxygen gas each
month. Few plants for such produc-
ton can compare with them in size
or capacity. The Buffalo, an electro
lytic plant, produces both oxygen and
hydrogen. And all of the plants
which produce nitrogen add to the
supply of that important product for
war purposes nitric acid. Just how
important it is was explained by Pro-
fessor Noyes in his address before the
American Association for the Adj
vancement of Science. He said in
part:
4 "No matter how many ships. men
and war munitions the government
may have on hand in time of war.
without nitric acid all means of de-
Tense are futile, The fact is we need
nitrogen, but al more complex ques-
ton arises as to how much of 1t we
require. One estimate was that DUR
ing the rst year Of the war at least
10000 tons of nitric acid was en-
ployed by the Teutonic powers. but
later estimates seem to indicate that
the amount was many times larger.
At the beginning of the war Germany
had in storage 100000 tons of salt
peter and soon acquired about 400
600 more. This large amount was
used during the first year of theiwar.
The supply is inadequate and the
military operations are being con-
stantly held up on account of the
shortage. Battles are fought for three
or four weeks, and then for three or
four months nothing is done because
the supply of heterogeneous compounds
has given out. In 1914 there were
produced in this country about 40
600 tons of nitrogen in the form of
ammonia Owing to the construction
of many beehive ovens by 1918 there
will be a production of $4,000 tons.
which will be- equivalent to 100000
tons of nitric acid" #>
When an authority like Professor
Noyes makes such statement before
a scientific body like the American
Association for the Advancement of
Science, and it is known that Walter
w Birge has made possible the re-
quisite supply, there is every reason
to hail the President of the Air Re-
duction Company Inc, as The man
of the hour" He was born in st.
Louis, SO years ago, his father being
of English stock and his mother OF
Scotch extraction. He received an
academic training in his native city
after which he entered the field OF
business activity. When Birge be-
came the head of the Air Reduction
Company, Inc, it had capitalization
Of four and half mollion dollars. AS
a result of his masterful activity 1t d
has been necessary to increase the
capita nzation to $12,000,000 for 1T to

Our ears ache so to speak when we

some pleasure in selling Lax-a-Tone
because it Eliminates the hearts of

In one years time in Bridgeport we
have seen weary burrows change to
laughing wrinkles and heavy eyes to
happy ones, and many a slow hating
step with a slow weary gate change
to a sprightly walk that betokened
health. That great word that sends a
thrill through the heart OF, the sick.

Railroads Win Fight
For Higher Rate On
Shipments Of Grain

Washington, Jan. 16.-The interstate
commerce commission today reversed
a previous decision and permitted an
Increase Of approximately one cent a
hundred pounds in freight rates on
grain and grain products from points
In Illinois, Indiana, Michigan. Wiscon-
sin, Iowa, Missouri and Kentucky to
Atlantic ports for export.
The increase was granted after ad-
d1tional evidence had been submit ed
at a rehearing, to the effect that the
proposed increase would maintain in
the present relationship between rates
to Atlantic ports and those to gulf
ports.

ment by an account Of the events
preceding the visit of Lawson to
Washington on Jan. 2, mentioning es-
peciaHy the public attacks which
Lawson had made on the honesty of
members of Congress.
Tried to Get Name.
I'm my conference with Mr.. Law
son l tried again and again to make
him name the Cabinet officer and the
public official mentioned by him. l
tried to impress upon him the serious
ness of the charges which he was
making" said Mr.. Henry.
Henry's Broad Denial.
Here today he continued, II de-
clare that during our three hours
conversation, I did not mention the
name of any Cabinet officer he has
mentioned here today"
Later Henry made his statement
even broader, declaring he did not
mention the name of any of the per-
sons Lawson had declared he NAM
ed
IT say to you now" he declared
with great emphasis, leaning over
toward the committee, that 1 never
mentioned the name of banker.
Senator. nor a great official to him.
I have no fear of my reputation In the
House or in the country, and what
this gentleman says here today doesn't
even disturb me-"
Henry then referred to a communl-
cation Lawson had sent him early In
January, asking that an inquiry into
the Stock Exchange be inaugurated,
and that he be put in charge of it.
Lawson said in the letter that he
would like to have charge like Sam
Untermyer did in the Pujo investlga-
ton" If he could not produce val
liable evidence, Lawson's letter con-
tinued, he would be willing to be
tignominiously fred"
After that" Henry exclaimed dra-
matically, ''l1e, comes and tells this
House and the country that he got his
information from me-"
Then. turning upon Lawson, Henry
shouted:
"Mr Lawson I could say more,
could take another course, but / have
made my statement and submit it to
the House and to the country"
Rumors About Bernstorff.
It will be recalled that Armgaard
Karl Graves, arrested for attempting
to extort- $4,000 from Countess Won
Bernstorff or the delivery Of certain
letters written to her by a. woman
relative in Berlin, charged that the
German ambassador had made mil
lions in the stock market. This
charge was made in connection with
the peace rumors about the time
Ambassador Gerard lett Germany for
his vacation in this country.
Ambassador Won Bernstorff was not
accessible yesterday after "the, Ger
man ambassador had been blurted
out by Mr.. Lawson in the same breath
with that Of Secretary of State Lam
sing.
When Mr.. Lawson limited vaguely
at a high foreign official last week,
Count Won Bernstorff's name was
promptly linked with his hints Asked
whether he was the man, the German
ambassador smiled and remarked that
he had not received any advance in
formation regarding the peace offer Of
the Central Powers, and that he never
had been able to master the machin-
cry by which it Is possible to make
money in a falling market. The am
bassador has uniformly denied every
rumor that he has profited in stock
deals.
