FRIENDS OF COTTON GROWERS
Quail Is One of Most Valuable Insect
Eating Birds of Its Size In
the United States.

In a recent address, Col. G. o.
Shields, president Of the League of
American Sportsmen, said:
"The cotton growers are suffering a
loss of 100000 year by reason of
the ravages of the boil weevil. Why?
Because the quails, the prairie chick
ems, the meadowlarks and other birds
which were formerly there in millions,
have been swept away by gunners.
The grain growers are losing over
$1OO,OOOOOO year on account of the
work of the chinch-bug. They are los
ing another 100000, 900 year on ac-
count Of the work Of the Hessian fly.
Both of these are very small insects,
almost microscopic in size. 1t takes
over $4,000 chinch-bugs to weigh one
ounce and nearly $4,000 Hessian flies
to weigh an ounce. A quail taken In
a wheat field in Ohio and examined by
a government expert had in its craw
the remains of over 1900 chinch-bugs
1t had eaten that day.
"Another quail taken in Kansas and
examined by another government ex-
pert had in It's craw the remains Of
over 1000 Hessian flies that it had
eaten that day.
"The farmers of the northern states
are paying out $16,OO0,0OO to $780,

DR.. Elwood R. Kirby, Thaw's private
physician, reports that his patient is
showing only slight improvement and
was still in stupor.
"He doesn't seem to realize where
he is or what has happened" said DR..
Kirby. His depression Is due partly
to loss of blood and his general phys
ical condition. 1t will be several weeks
before he comes around. His mind is
not showing improvement as we ex-

for long life was: wKeep the Kidneys in
good orderl Try to eliminate thru the
skin and intestines the poisons that
otherwise clog the kidneys. Avoid eat
ing meat as much as possible; avoid too
much salt, alcohol, tea. Try milk and
vegetable diet. Drink plenty of water,
and exercise so you sweat t. the skin
helps to eliminate the toxic poisons
and uric acid"
For those past middle life, for those
easily recognized symptoms of inf1am-
nation, as backache, scalding water
or il uric acid in the blood has caused
rheumatism, crusty" joints, stiffness,
get Anuric at the drug store. This is a
wonderful eliminator of uric acid and
was discovered by DIR. Pierce of Invalids'
Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y. If your druggist
does not keep it send 10 cents to Or.
Pierce for trial package and you will
find that it is many times more potent
than Ithia and that it dissolves uric

GUARDSMEN T0RETURN SOON
Gen. Funston Selecting Units To Be
Returned to Home Stations in
the Near Future.

Washington.-Imm withdraw
al of a substantial number" of ma
uonal guardsmen from the. border has
been ordered by the war department
and Gen. Funston now Is selecting the
units to be sent home. In announcing
the order Secretary Baker said the
number to be withdrawn at this time
probably would be $1,000 or 10000.
The secretary refused to comment
on the order to say what relation 1t
might have to the withdrawal Of Gen.
Pershing's expedition from Mexico.
He said that the organizations to be
withdrawn would be announced as
soon as Gen. Funston reported those
he had designated. This withdrawal
would reduce the force Of state troops
on the border to between $4,000 and
$4,000 men.
It is the policy of the department
not to permit disfntegration of the ma
tional guard organizations and the in
tention Is to hold ever man in serv-
Ice, though not under arms, regardless
Of the fact that his duty on the border
has ended.
All applications for discharge except
for cause will be refused, and resigna-
lions of officers will be carefully ex-
amined and accepted only when the
department is satisfied with the rea-
sons given. 1t was pointed out that
acceptance Of many of these resigna-
tons already offered was more or less

VILLA GETTING BUSY AGAIN
Arrives at Gates of Chihuahua After
Decisive Defeat of Chief Car
ranza's Forces.

Ell Paso, Tex.-Francisco Villa and
his main command again are at the
gates of Chihuahua City, reports pas
sengers arriving from the state cap
ital After defeating Gen. Hernandez
and his Carranza command of 1000 in
the vicinity Of Satevo, Villa drove the
de facto column to La Jolla, eighteen
miles north of Satevo, where another
defeat was administered and the col
umn was forced to retreat to Santa
ISABEL and then to Palomas, only eigh-
teen miles west of the city.
Gen. Francisco Murguia, who had
entrained to come to the border, went
to Palomas with 500 troops and took
personal command.
The presence of Villa troops west OF
Chihuahua City. government agents
believe, is the forerunner of the third
attack upon the state capital by Villa.
AS Villa now controls the western
part of the state, the agents say they
fear he may attempt to occupy the ter
ritory held by American troops as soon
as Gen. Pershing withdraws.
The occupation of the border port
of Ojinaga, opposite Preside, Tex, is
expected to be the next move of the
Villa forces.
Rumors OF disaffection in the state
of Sonora have been received here and
the fact that a PROF. arranza American
newspaper was stopped from going
into that state has strengthened the
rumors that de facto troops may join

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricultural
The growing of sudan grass in the
South should be materially Increased
as the result of the development during
the past year of good supply of pure
seed which can be purchased at rea-
sonable prices. The dependable seed
supply was produced as the result OF
the spread of the culture OF the plant
for seed north of the region where
Johnson grass Is abundant. Much Of
the sudan grass seed available in for
mer years was contaminated by the
seed of Johnson grass owing to the
culture of the two plants in the same
area. The bureau Of plant industry has
encouraged the production Of seed
where it will be free from contamina-
ton, and has found that as result Of
the cheapening of the supply the grow

The culture Of Natal grass, which
years ago, Is increasing markedly in
Florida. 1t promises to produce oil the
hay required In the state and probably
will furnish surplus for use outside
the commonwealth. Culture of the
plant has been urged In a conservative
way by the department since its intro
duction, but it is only within the past
few years that this grass has made the
progress its high merit deserves.
The bureau Of plant industry has
prosecuted as vigorously as possible
during the past year the introduction
and breeding of drought-resistant
strains of alfalfa. An especially prom
Using new strain has been secured from
India, which seems to be well adapted
for use In the Southwest. Investiga-
tons to determine the cause of "yel-
lowing" of alfalfa and to develop a
practical treatment for this trouble,
which Is a serious handicap to the
culture of the crop In many parts Of
the East, indicate that the stage Of ma
turity at which the crop is cut has
much to do with the degree to which
the succeeding crop 1s~affected.
The pollination studies Of red clover
carried on by the bureau in co-opera-
ton with the experiment stations in
Iowa and Indiana show that cross-pol-
lination is absolutely essential to the
setting of the seed Of this plant; that
honeybees are very important as pol
linatOrs; and that all the mechanical
methods of pollination that have been
suggested and tested are of no prac-
teal value. The increased paintings Of

Washington.-Adm Dewey was
laid to rest Saturday with all the hon
ors a grateful nation can bestow.
After funeral services conducted un-
der the dome of the capitol and at
tended by President Wilson, the cabi-
net, the supreme court, the diplomatic
corps and a notable company, the adj
mirals body was taken to Arlington
National cemetery to rest with those

Dewey's commanders at the battle of
Manila bay-Beniamin P. Lamberton,

Coghlan of the cruiser Raleigh, lie
nearby. Not far away on the wooded
slopes rest Rear Admirals Schley and

Private services at the home were
attended by President Wilson, Secre-
tary Daniels and limited company.
The funeral party then moved to the
capitol. All business Of the govern
ment was suspended for the day; all
private business in Washington stop
ped for an hour. On every American
naval ship on the seven seas an ensign
fluttered at half mast and an admi-

PLANT SOY BEANS IN SOUTH
Cotton Mills Announce Willingness to
Purchase All Of Crop Offered
Them Next Year.

There has been considerable agita-
ton by the Louisiana commissioner of
agriculture of late regarding the open
ing there is for enlarged paintings of
soy beans In this part Of the South,
and cotton Oil mills of both Louisiana
and Mississippi have announced their
willingness to purchase at fair price
all the beans that may be offered
them next year.
That soy beans make good eating for
man as well as beast Is further" fact
that is due to widen the market for
the crop. One Of the large western
packing houses is now advertising
new product in Chicago newspapers.
The product Is combination of north
ern navy beans and southern soy beans.
Because of the shortage Of the 1915
navy-bean crop, present market prices
are too high for many Gamers to pack.
The packing company in question.
therefore, turned to other sources OF
supply. BY combining southern soy
beans with its supply Of navy beans,
the company has been able to keep up
production and compete in new markets
with Gamers affected by the shortage.
No doubt other packing houses, de-
pendent on the success that meets the
introduction of the above new mixture
Of beans, are to similarly fall in line,
and If they do, 1t will probably be
found that soy beans will in time take
their place as standard article of
human diet.
