to indicate, says the report, the eff
ficiency of the cleanup during the
year of these districts, and gives
ground for expecting the ultimate
complete determination of the pink
bollworm in Texas. If this result is
achieved it will be, in the opinion of
the board, "the largest successful en-
Genealogical experiment OF the kind in
history"
Immediately after the discovery of
the presence of.this destructive insect
a quarantine was established prohibit
ing the further entry into the United
States of cotton or cotton seed from
Mexico; border-control service was
organized to prevent the accidental
entry of such products by rail; dis
infection service as to cars and freight
! from Mexico was made effective; and
reg ,arch work in relation to the life
history and habits and means of con-
trcl of the Dii& bollworm was con-
Quoted in cooperation with Mexico
near San Pedro in the Laguna district,
Mexico.
Throughout the summer all of the
quarantined districts have been under
constant inspection, and all volun-
teer or seeding cotton has been de-
stroyed. Also field surveys are being
conducted adjacent to the quarantined
districts to determine any possible
spread beyond the existing quarantine
lines.
The regulation of the entry into the
United States of railway ears>and 9TH
err vehicles, freight. express, baggage,
and other materials from Mexico and
the inspection, cleaning, and disinfec-
tion of such cars and freight, etc.,
have been continued during the year
to prevent the accidental movement
OF cotton and cotton seed from Mexi-
co into the United States. This in
|'spection service covers the ports of
FL Paso, Laredo, Del Rio, Eagle Pass,
and Brownsville, and now involves the
services of II inspectors. During the
year 25.251 cars have been inspected
and passed for entrance into the Unit
ed States, divided among the border
ports as follows: Brownsville, 1885;
Eagle Pass, 1886; Ell Paso, 6,7S7; La
redo. 1899.
No cars or freight fouled with cot
ton seed are permitted entry until
such seed has been entirely removed.
This necessitates, in many cases, the
transfer OF freight to clean cars on
the Mexican side, In addition, as a
condition of entry, all cars and freight
which come to the border containing
such seed are disinfected with hydro
cyanic-acid gas.
The system of disinfection of cars
and freight with hydrocyanic-acid gas
by means of generators placed within
the cars has been the best available
means, but Is unsatisfactory owing to
the poor condition OF the cars and also
to the fact that II gave no security
against any insects when might be

their motive parts. The erection OF

OFFICER IS KILLED AND FUGITIVE IS
 BADLY WOUNDED

Ozark, Aug. 7.-Jim Wood, aged A, a member of Constable Horton's rosse in search of alleged draft re- sisters, was instantly killed and one of the fugitives named Scott was se riously wounded about o'clock this morning in battle eight miles south west of here The wounded man and his brother were arrested by the of ficers and are now in jail here charg ed with the murder of Wood.
 It had been alleged for some time that the four Scott brothers, all ex- convicts from Oklahoma, were evad- ing the selective service law, but two of them were arrested here several days ago and found to have registration cards. They were re- leased. The. other two brothers, with J. H. Benson, a newcomer to this section, were reported to have stolen some chickens last night from a farm house near here. Constable Horton and eight men went to the scene to arrest the men on that charge.
 The alleged thieves opened fire on the officers and Jim Wood was killed. Young Ford, a 17-year-old boy ( this place.. returned the fire and wounded the elder of the Scott broth CTS in the side of the face and body with a charge of buckshot. Consta- ble Horton also fired his revolver but missed. The two Scott brothers were arrested by the officer, but Benson escaped and is being sought tonight by a posse.
 Officers here do not know whether the men are part of the alleged re- sisters now being sought by posses near Paris, in Logan county. They believe that the Scott brothers prob- ably aided the Logan county fugi- tives.
 Upon arrival here the elder Scott who wounded, was found to be above draft age and his brother exhibited registration card which he says was issued to him by his local board. The case is being investigated. Meanwhile, the two are being held on a charge of murdering Jim Wood. Reports that the escaped Benson is heavily armed is not generally be- lieved here. Wood is survived by a family.

Mascaqni and the War.

Pietro Mascagni, the celebrated com. poser, once told how the opening chorus of "Cavaleria" was composed on the night of February 3, 1889, when his first child was born. That son, Mimi, is now, or was recently, driving motor-trucl for the Italian army and a second boy, Dino, became pri- vate in the engineer corps, blowing UT Austrian barbed-wire barricades. On visit to the young soldiers Mascagni saw his first battle
 'This is indeed music" he wrote. "It seems as if all the big drums in my or chestra had been multiplied by mil lion and suddenly gone mad"
 The composer gave open-air concerts in the trenches on one occasion at tended by the king of Italy, and he set himself at work on great patriot ic symphony, designed to be a musical apotheosis of Italy's ''war of redemp, tion,"

FINE TRIBUTE TO
 AMERICAN TROOPS

With the French Army in France, Aug. 7.-General Mangin, who was in command of the allied forces in the drive against the German right flank, south of Soissons, has issued the following order of the day, thank ing the American troops for their brilliant participation in the battle which caused the German retreat be- tween the Marne and the Aisne:
 "Officers, on-commissioned offiI cers and soldiers of the Third Amer ican Army Corps: Shoulder to shoul- der to shoulder with your French comrades you threw yourselves into the offensive begun on July IS. You ran to it like going to a feast. Your magnificent dash upset and surprised the enemy and yosr in- domitable tenacity stopped counter

attacks by his fresh divisions. You have shown yourselves to be worthy sons of your great country and have gained the admiration of your broth CTS in arms.
 "Ninety-one cannon, 7,200 prison CTS, immense booty and 10 kilometers of reconquered territory are your share of the trophies of this victory. Besides this, you have acquired a feeling of your superiority over the barbarian enemy against whom the children of liberty are fighting. To attack him is to vanquish him.
 ~American comrades, I am grate- ful to you for the blood you gener- ously spilled on the soil of my coun- try. I am proud of having con- manded you during such splendid days and to have fought with you for the deliverance of the world"

Everyone Should Drink Hot Water
 in the Morning
Wash away all the stomach, liver, and bowel poisons before
 breakfast.

To feel your best day in and day out, to feel clean inside; no sour bile to coat your tongue and sicken your breath or dull your head; no constipa- ton, bilious attacks, sick headache, colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid stom- ach, you must bathe on the inside like you bathe outside. This is vastly more important, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the bowel pores do, says we'll known physician.
 To keep these poisons and toxins we'll flushed from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, drink before break fast each day, glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phoS- phate in it. This will cleanse, purify and freshen the entire alimentary tract, before putting more food into the stomach
 Get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from your pharmacist. It is inexpensive and almost tasteless, except a sourish twinge which is not unpleasant Drink phosphated hot water every morning to rid your sys- tenn of these vile poisons and toxins; also to prevent their formation.
 To feel like young folks feel; like you felt before your blood, nerves and muscles became saturated with an ac- emulation of body poisons, begin this treatment and above all, keep it up! As soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and purifying, so limestone phosphate and hot water be- fore breakfast, act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels.

WEARIED OF CONSTANT BRAY
spaniards Make Offer to Exchange Mules for Something That Has
 More Musical Sound.

A little while ago it was reputed that the army mule in France, inval- uable for transport, was making him. self obnoxious by his propensity to bray when in close proximity to the enemy. And now, according to ad- vices received by the National Piano Manufacturers association, the Span iards are anxious to dispose of their mules to us and to obtain in return pianos and other musical instruments.
 Evidently what Wordsworth calls "the hard, dry see-saw of his horrible bray" is no better relished by the esthetic consciousness of the Iberians than by the valorous gentlemen of France. It is doubtful whether even an implacable futurist in music like Leo Ornstein or Arnold Schoenberg derives genuine satisfaction from the student cantatas and blatant oratorios of the mule. Some cynics have de- tected a resemblance between the voice of the bagpipe and the mules spontaneous lyricism, but this is a libel.
 With patience one can detect a definite melody in the Scotch pibrochs and strathspreys, whereas mule music like the world in the making, is with out form and void. AS long as Spain is not at war she cal afford to dance the fandango and play the mandolin. When by the logic of events she is swept out of her neutrality into bel ligerency and has to haul cannon and wagons, she will wish she had the mule.-Philadelphi Ledger.

In each case the gardens have dropped about 15 feet. The home of Matthew Scott has escaped damage, but the earth on all sides has sunk, making the residence appear as though on an island.
 Few streets in the city are suffering worse damage from mine caves than Bromley avenue. Gardens, posts, trees and sidewalks have fallen in.

NAME GUNS BETSY AND ELSIE
Yankee Artillery at the Front Follow Gallant Custom of French
 Cannoneers.

Following n gallant custom of the French artillery, the boys of Battery E in one of our own F. A. regiments, decided to name their guns after those whom they considered the outstanding figures among the patriotic women of American history.
 Many were named but two were chosen. The first, according to Stars and Stripes, France, was Betsy Ross, who, in her little house in Philadel- phia, made for General Washington the first American flag The second was Elsie Janis, who, in the little huts of France, made the first hit of the A. E. K.
 ''These guns are of the railway ar tillery," the captain says, "and among the most powerful in France, and the names selected are now painted on the carriages, where they will be constant inspiration in the future, and, we hope, a credit to their namesakes."
 One of these two namesakes, who probably never thought of herself as a figure in American history at all, is just back from a tour of the front where she had good many thrills in- cluding the thrill of finding her name in divisional general orders.
 There she delighted one of the bands by turning drum major throughout 8 long march, cheered up some young German prisoners by talking to them in their own tongue, and came away much pleased by the news that Elsie Janis II had just raised merry h. with German machine gun emplace ment.

 Little Rock, Aug. 9.-If any of the parents of Arkansas boys in training at Camp Shelby, Hattiesburg, Miss, would like ito have the satisfaction of knowing that someone is person. ally interested in their sons, they should write the War Camp Com munity Service. They have a hos pitality committee, the members of which will gladly look up any of the boys in camp and see that they are introduced properly to good people of the city.
 The general secretary of the War Camp Community Service also sug- gests that home folks be discour- aged as much as possible from com ing to the camp in great numbers He says;
 "Rooming places are very scarce, rentals are high, and much unneces- sary suffering has been brough' about by people coming down here who did not have the financial means to support themselves. On the oth- CT hand, whenever it is necessary for any of you folks to come, we shall ' glad to meet them at the trains and find places for them to live"
