The cotton boil weevil has made its
appearance in this vicinity, and is
causing some uneasiness, tho most of
the growers hope to gather good
crop before it begins its ravages. We
doubt if a prettier cotton field is to
be found in Marion county or in the
state, for that matter, than that own
ed by Mr.. G.. C. Waits on the hard

is the comment of everybody that
sees it, and Mr.. Waits is justly proud
of it. If conditions are favorable he
hopes to get 1000 pounds from the
acre.

men in class one instead of on state
populations, and another barring cit

Arrives in France

Mrs. w. M. Sparks of Tacoma
is very proud of her two fighting
brothers, one of whom is in the
army and the other in the navy.
Henry Lange is the soldier boy
and Charles Lange is the "li'l
Jack tar"
Henry has many friends in Ia
coma as he was student of the
Stadium high. When he enlisted
in the quartermaster corps of the
army he was employed at the
Ford automobile factory at De-
troit, where he had graduated
from the machinist and engineer
class. He formerly attended the
Cushman school.
Henry Lange is now in France
and had just arrived when he
wrote the following letter to his
sister.
II am finally listed among
those somewhere in France" !
have been here (D-long enough
to get only partially settled. 1--WE
are compelled at all times to re-
spect the opinions of the censor.
I'VE had a fine trip across
with weather Of a varied sort,
rough with the smooth. The good
weather was really better than
expected on the Atlantic at this
time of the year. The rough
weather, however, was fierce, but
| have seen some worse storms
upon the Pacific.
~ also had the pleasure OF
mounting the mast as lookout al
the place generally designated as
the CROWS nest" said place be-
ing more appropriately called an
eagles nest, as | know from what
| have seen of eagles nests, the
difficulty with which their lofty
perch is reached.
THE result of all my vigilance
was to sight nothing more de-
structive to the A. e. F. than a
few porpoises, and being very
familiar with such things they
did not particularly interest me-
ION account OF the close quar-
tiers, we were compelled to stay
on deck at all times to get the
benefit of the fresh air. The re-
suit was quite natural--when the
sea was rough many a man got

water that came over the decks
