1T is estimated that the weevil
will cause $2O,0OO,00O damage in
Georgia this year, and the value of
the calcium arsenate experiments is
at once apparent. Calcium arsenate
must not be regarded as a cure-all,
but if used as a spray tends to great
ly reduce weevil damage. Care must
be observed in securing good quail
ity of calcium arsenate, as well as
the apparatus to be used in applying
the poison. All the tests made by
the extension department were not
as good as the one in Bulloch coun-
ty, but the use of calcium arsenate
as a preventive of extensive weevil
damage has been demonstrated be-
yond question of doubt"

# BACK HURTS Use
SALTS FOR KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if Kidneys feel like lead
or Bladder bothers you-Meat
forms uric acid

Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and clogged
and need flushing occasionally, else we
have baczache and dull misery in the
kidney region, severe headaches, rheu"
matte twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach,
sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder dis
orders.
You simply must keep your kidneyc
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
take tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid OF
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and is harmless to flush clogged
kidneys and stimulate them to normal
activity. 1t also neutralizes the acids
in the urine so it no longer irritatess
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensivej
makes a delightful effervescent hthia-
water drink which everybody should take
now and then to keep their kidneys clean,
thus avoiding serious complications.
A well-knoWn local druggist says he
sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who believe
in overcoming kidney trouble while it -
only trouble.

NEBRASKA FARMERS ARE
THRASHING BY NIGHT
Portable Electric Lights Used to H.
illuminate Wheat Fields.

LINCOLN, Neb.-Because of the
scarcity of farm labor and the large
crop of wheat a number of western
farmers have been obliged to do some
of their thrashing at night
For this purpose they are using a
portable electric motor outfit, which
not only furnishes power for the
thrashing machinery, but also cur
rent for the lighting equipment it
carries. The power is either gener-
ated by a gasoline engine or is Sc
cured by tapping the transmission
lines that are growing very numer-
Gus as water power development pro-
ceeds.
Farm electric light plants are in
creasing in number. They cost from
$500 to $500 to install, and they
have put the old time farm lantern
into the discard wherever set up.

HORSE THIEVES BUSY;
ALSO SAUSAGE MAKERS
Berlin Mays Vanish When Left for
Only a Moment.

BERLIN, Germany. - Thirty-five
to forty horses are stolen each day
in Berlin, and a very small percent
age are ever returned to the owners,
despite the creation of special po-
lice department to combat this evil.
The horses disappear forever because
they are usually Immediately slaugh-
tered and the meat sold through lille
it trade channels.
The thieves watch for teams, the
drivers of which have left them for
a moment, and drive the horses away:
If the wagons contain anything of
value it is stolen and the horses are
taken to secret barns and sheds, or
even to wooded suburban sections,
and killed Immediately.
Insurance companies that used to
insure horses and teams will do so no
more.

PAYS TO ADVERTISE,
EVEN FOR SHOWERS
"Want ADJ in Newspaper for Rain
Brings a Downpour Within Few
Days. Proved Success Twice.


SHELBINA, Mo.-Most people say
that it was merely coincidence and
the editor of the newspaper in which
the advertisements were inserted
says he agrees with the majority,
but it is a fact that twice this year
small ads were placed in the publica-
ton during dry spells asking for
rain, and the downpour came within
a few days after they appeared. Some
persons of this section say that they
believe something weightier than CO.
incidence had something to do with it.
During the dry spell last July an
advertisement was placed in the
newspaper asking for a good rain,
and two days later this section was
visited by a veritable deluge. In the
last issue of the newspaper a similar
ad appeared and several rains follow
ed. A farmer who was in the newspa-
per office this week, speaking of the
results of advertising, said that the
rains were due in a great measure
to the people over the country,
whose sentiments were expressed in
the ad and who were hoping that 1t
would be answered.

WEEVIL IS KILLED
BY A new METHOD
RESULT OF EXPERIMENT IN
SOUTH GEORGIA BY STATE
COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE.

ATHENS, Ga.-The success of eX-
periments made by the state college
of agriculture to curb the depreda-
tions of the boil weevil was annOunc-
ed today by DR.. Andrew NJ. Soule,
president of the institution, who de-
clared that after months of practical
scientific tests, made in the heart of
the weevil-infested territory, meth
cd of saving a large percentage of
the cotton crop has been developed.
The use of calcium arsenate as a
dust spray to poison the weevils is
the method employed, and the result
of practical tests in Bulloch county,
according to DR.. Soule, have demon
strated its efficacy. A net profit of
S23.31 per acre is noted on cotton
treated with calcium arsenate, and
an increase of 329 pounds of seed
cotton has been obtained where the
poison was used.
The experiments in Bulloch coun-
ty were conducted by F. c. Ward, IN
charge of the extension work of thu
state college, and by j. G. Liddell,
county demonstration agent. The
tests were made on the plantation
of W. C. Crowley, near Brooklet,
Ga.
"The cotton was sprayed five times
during the season." said DR.. Soule in
announcing the result of the expert
ment, land the extreme wet weather
during the past summer made our
tests more difficult, as the heavy rains
would wash the poison off the plants.
The calcium arsenate was used in the
form of dust spray and applied to
the plants when signs of weevil in
festation appeared. Our tests show
that 1,126 pounds Of seed cotton per
acre were gathered from plants
where no poison was used, but where
the calcium arsenate was employed
to check the weevil we got 1,455
pounds of seed cotton. At 80 cents
a pound and seed at $65 per ton
the gross increase is $30.85 per acre.

poison, labor and apparatus for

LEADERS REPUDIATE POLITI-
CAL CAMPAIGN TO EXTER-

We don't use tobacco
Because we all think
That the use of tobacco
Might drive us to drlnl

Might drive us to drink.
This immortal verselet still is an
article in the creed of the W. c. T..
U.
Officials of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union have repudiated
the accusation that the organization
is conducting or contemplating a
campaign for the legal repression of
smoking. They say that this is but
another trick of the liquor forces,
through the Association Opposed to
National Prohibition, to discredit the
enforcement of prohibition, the one
reform in which the W. c. T. U. is
essentially interested.
The officials admit that the w. c..
T. U. is, as it has been for many
years, conducting a campaign of edu-
cation to show the young the un-
healthfulness and uncleanliness of
smoking and chewing. At the offices
of the organization in New York it
was stated that there was no knowl-
edge there of the alleged initiative
proposal in Oregon, said to be back
ed by the W. C. 7. u, to ban the sale
or use of cigarettes in that state.

of the German government troops, will
send new forces against the capital in an
attempt to regain control of it, it is re-
ported. A desperate reaction by the

ARTILLERY WAS USED
nv BERLIN STREETS
Spartacans Renewed Their Efforts to
Seize the chancellor's Palace But
Were Driven Back with Loss
Of 80 Killed and as
Wounded

Amsterdam, Jan. o. Severe fighting, in
which artillery was employed, took place
in Berlin yesterday near the Central tele-
graph office. The Sparatacans renewed
their attempts to seize the chancellor's
palace, it is declared in Berlin dispatches
to the Handlesblad, but were driven back
with the loss Of 80 killed and As wound
ed.
These figures, the newspapers CORE
spondent says, appear to be too small.
Chaos prevails in the government offices.
The government has been concentrat-
ing troops in Berlin and on Wednesday,
the adyices add, the Spartacans were
driven from the Potsdam and Anhalt
railroad stations, the Brandenburg gate
and the Central railway Office
The Prussian war minister told the
correspondent that the power of the gov
ernment was increasing because volun-
teers were offering their services How
ever, it would not be easy TO restore or.
der because the Spartaeans had occupied
buildings all over Berlin.
The correspondent reports that the
Spartacans got 100000 marks in paper
money when they captured the govern
ment printing offices.

ifesto to the workers, bourgeoise and
soldiers" denouncing the Spartacans as
being responsible for many persons being
killed and wounded. The manifesto con
tinues:
I'VE must now accept The fight into
which we have been forced. We have
hesitated too long and must be prepared
to intervene without restriction for the
defense of revolutionary order. We ap-
peal TO you in the view of forming a
