WHAT THE BOIL WEEviL CAN DO.

Says the Albany Herald:
The Southwest Georgia farmer who was going to
make ell the cotton he wanted t. make, "boll wee
err is human"
For that farmer who thought the boil weevil was
a pest whose destructive power had been greatly
overrated now knows better The gathering of
the present crop is sufficiently advanced to have
afforded a practical demonstration of the destruc
tive power of the Mexican pest, and whatever
doubters there are no longer left on Southwest
Georgia farms
For the cotton fields in this section bear eloquent
testimony to the fact that those who have been
giving warning did not exaggerate the ability of
the boil weevil to completely cut off top-crop cot
ton
good bottom crop has already been made in
this part Of the country Much of it has been pick
ed, ginned and sent to market. There remain in
the fields many we'll matured bolls and a good
deal Of open cotton
But there is no top crop. There are no longer
my cotton blooms, white the first day and deep
pink the next As fast the buds form they are
ounctured, and they fall off.
In fields where the repeated warnings of county
agents and others competent to advise have been
ignored by those cultivating them-where fallen
squares have not been regularly picked up and de-
stroyed- the cotton stalks are today denuded of
practically everything but leaves few strag
Cling scLly looking bolls remain, but not enough
Of the staple will open to make further picking
profitable. On the other hand, where the methods
recommended for use under boil weev condi-
tons have been followed, splendid bottom yields
have been made, and the crop at prevailing prices
is proving profitable one.
The cotton farmer has one important duty re-
naming.
1t is duty to himeslf and to his neghbors
He should destroy the cotton stalks in his field
IS the gathering of the crop has been
completed.

NOT OUR REAL WOMEN.

The average business man will in the
statement that cultured woman's influence in his
office carries elevatng atmosphere and she is
she deserves it. The fact that she works in bus
mess office ordinarily takes nothing away from
her right to the highest respect and her assurance
of as much safety from the picture show saps on
the back as if size in the parlor of the best
home in the community
Here is protest: Do you appreciate the al
most universal inclination of the picture plot max
ers to treat the employees Of the usual
business Offices as hugging and kissing models?
In the first place they are not that kind. We are
talking about the cultured woman, the refined girl
employee. And it is unjust to them to constantly
hold them up to the devouring gaze of the public
as people who live in such atmosphere. In truth
they do not The atmosphere of a business office
where there is business character, as regards
women is wholesome as it is in the home. The
cultured and refined woman cannot afford to work
elsewhere.
We are not speaking for the chewing gum girls
that live On slang and cheap mannerism. They
might be cheap in any environment, and it would
not take them long to cheaper themselves to
where huggng and kissing of the picture show
variety might not be so out Of keeping.
But then,-but then, should the girls and the
women OF all this broad land, as they go daily to
the picture shows, be forced to watch this sordid
spectacle through time and again? Do build
better morals by contrast when the office
girls always hugging and kissing the employers?
not leveler of highest standards among the
cultured and refined women. This thing isn't just

true to life and the real girl especially should not
be taught in the picture shown that it is

SAYS THE DRUG IS
AN ETHER COMPOUND
Just a few drops loosens any corn
so it lifts out with
out pain.

You simply say to the drug store
man, GIVE me quarter of an ounce
Of freezone." This will cost very little
but is sufficient to remove every hard
or soft corn from ones feet.
A few drops applied directly upon
tender, aching corn should relieve the
soreness instantly, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, can be lifted out
with the fingers without pain.
This new drug called freezone is an
ether compound discovered by Gin
cinnati man, who says that while freez-
one is sticky it dries in moment, and
simply shriyels up the corn without
infiaming or even irritating the sur
rounding tissue or skin.
Don't let father die Of infection or
lcc!;iaw from whiting at his corns,
but cut this out and make him try it.
