buster with measures as drastic as oc-
casion might require; and, again the
way was cleared for the return of the
troops, when Villas menace was sud
denly renewed. AS long as there was
reason to suspect that he would at
tempt an incursion upon the American
border, it was necessary to keep the
expedition where it was.
1t now seems, however, that all con
siderable barriers to the withdrawal
of General Pershing's men are out or
the way, and the homeward movement
will begin accordingly. The return OF
the regulars for border service will

IRREPRESSIBLE ATLANTA.

Everybody loves Atlanta, that is.
nearly everybody, for even Macon has
a sneaking admiration for the city set
among the red hills and showed by a
spir' ted people to the foremost place
among Southern municipalities. 1t is
tie splendid audacity of Atlanta that
people like. If she doesn't originate
on idea, she joins the procession just
the same, whoops so ALFRED loud
and hard that half the time the real
big show is forgotten.
Atlanta is both an imitator and a
creator. If the first she blatantly
roses as the -wool-yard-w au-
thor and gets away with it. When
she does anything worth while she
cables the fact to all Christendom and
pays the bill. Yes, sir; Atlanta is
some town, believe us.
Atlanta's latest little flyer in the
publicity line is to announce that
workingmen in that city are living on
twenty-eight cents day, as against
Chicago's forty cents. Of course, there
isn't word of truth in the story, but
what the samhill is the difference-to-
morrow?
And again, Villa, that Mexican muir
derer. bandit, hero patriot, is to be
captured by Atlanta-raised game
cocks, plus such additional birds as
other Georgians may care to have go
along and see how easily the thing
is done. Duly accredited agents of the
de facto government of Mexico have
rented Offices in the capital city, and
right now are paying ten and twenty
dollars for all the gamecocks offered
The plan is simplicity itself. These
chickens are to be turned adrifI
among the sand dunes of Villas
haunts; the willy bandit is inordi-
nantly fond of chicken fighting; he
sees them-slow music, please-for.

GRUss IN BACKS OF CATTLE.
DR.. w. M. 5uRsoN, Prof. Vet. Med,
Georgia State College Of Agri.

Grubs under the skin of the back
in cattle are the larvae of the bot
ny OF cattle, serious pest of the cat
tie industry. Losses are caus-
ed by the flies bothering cattle during
hot weather and interfering with
grazing, growth, fattening and milk
production. During winter while the
grubs are in position under the skin,
loss or flesh in beef cattle, causing de-
struction of meat, and great CONNER
clal damage to hides are the result
of infestation. Over each tumor in
the back will be found hole in the
skin. One or more holes in a hide
lowers the market grade one or two
cents per pound.
Bot flies do not live outside the bod
les of cattle during the winter. De-
struction of the grubs under the skin
prevents the propagation Of bot flies
during the following summer
The grubs may be destroyed by
crushing them under the skin, by
squeezing them out through the open

drops of gasoline into each tumor, or
by dipping cattle in the arsenical so
luton used for destroying ticks.
The mature fly, deposits eggs in the
vicinity Of the heels of cattle during
summer. The application of f1y-re-
pellant of fish oil-three parts, kero-
sene, one part-during fly time will
help to keep down infestation.

SUNDAY on NEWSPAPERS.


Observers of the Billy Sunday revi-
walls have realized for long time that
the hot stuff evangelist owed a big
debt to the newspapers. but it was
not generally known that Billy was
aware of the fact. The nature Of his
address before the Boston Press club
shows that he is. In fact, he admits
that it would be more to the point to
say that the newspapers conduct his
campaigns, his capacity being that of
a mere assistant. The Rev. Mr.. Sun
day has made enough first-hand OBJ
servations to know also that the jour
nalistic searchlight is one of the most
powerful enemies of misdoing tht
devil has to contend with. In the

WITHDRAWAL FROM MEXICO.

There is every reason to credit the
report that the withdrawal
Of American troops from Mexico has
begun. This course has long been
cOunseled by army officers, who have
argued that General Pershing's force
had ceased to be of value where it
was stationed and, furthermore, was in
q Jisadvantageous position to meet a
possible attack.
Several incidents, however, have
constrained the government to keep
the expedition in Mexico much longer
than originally was intended and even
longer than was advisable from
purely military point of view. For
one thing. Carranza's testy and insol-
ent temper broke loose just when a
decision to withdraw the troops was
about to be made. His swashbuckling
note denying the right OF the United
States to pursue bandits across the
border ard virtually threatening an
attack on the Pershing expedition it
self. put the intended withdrawal out
of the question for the time being.
Carranza promptly came to terms,
however, when he realized that Wash

If every newspaper were sup
pressed tomorrow, crime would in

hours, and hell would break loose.
The situation would be so bad
that heaven would petition for the
re-establishment of the papers.
The pulpit and the press are not al
ways in complete accord, but there is
an alliance between them that is
closer than superficial study might
suggest; that it, an alliance not only
between the press and the pulpit, but
between the press and every agency
fighting for law and decency. A con-

COTTON WITH COTTON

The practice of following cotton
with cotton is considered a poor farm
ing practice, but in weevil territory
it is considered dangerous to the crop.
The College Of Agriculture is urging
through county agents and others that
the farmer be persuaded as far as
possible to use cotton fields for other
crops and put the cotton where it did
not grow the previous year.
