Dig out peach tree borers now.
Just remember that this pest bores
under the bark of the peach tree.
just at or just below the surface OF
the ground. and by continuously
boring under the bark the tree Is
often entirely girdled and of course
that means death to the tree. With
the exception of the San Jose scale.
the tree borer is the most serious
pest that the peach grower has to
contend with. For the scale we
spray with lime-sulphur solution.

Let Us Have Good Roads
T. T. Davenport,
Editor, Aberdeen Weekly.


Dear Editor:
notice great deal is being
said through the columns of your
valuable paper in regard to good
roads. An article from DR.. ii.
FL. Kinney makes good and time
ly suggestions as to the roads
which are under discussion. l
heartily endorse what he has
said; also what f. Lynwood
Crystal has said as to these roads,
which is good and very much TO
the point.
desire to say a few words by
way of suggestion: If the present
Fifth District good roads bond
issue IS not sufficient to construct
these good roads. | am in favor
of floating other bonds with
which to rock them in the fifth
district from the road east OF
Okolona through the village OF
Wren TO the Bigbee bridge at
Old Cotton Gin; also, from that
point oyer the old Aberdeen and
Cotton Gin road to Fourth Dis
trict line TO connect with the rock
road, which | take it, will be
built by the Fourth District 10
meet us at that point.
Also, the road that leads to
Nettleton ought to be rocked all
the way from Aberdeen; this
would give surfaced road con
nection from any point in the
Fifth District to either aberdeen
Amory, Okolona, or NettletOn
Al this time of the year the peo
pie from this section can hardly
get to either of the above towns
because of the impossible con
dition of these roads.
A little more tax levied and
expended on the roads would
make it a pleasure for farmers tc
carry their products to the
markets above mentioned.
Don't understand me to NEAR
that the above roads are the only
ones that need SuEfacing in the
Fifth District. All roads that in
tersect these main thorouehfare'
need suffaCing. also. This
doubtless, would be done as ar
after enterprise.
| am sure the business mer
and merchants of Aberdeen
Amory. and Okoleua will gladly
contribute towards constructing
good roads that lead to thei
markets. Let Us have goot
roads. II is up to the voters Q
the Fifth azsd Fourth Districts 4

The team will leave about June and will complete training after joining the main combination at Join- ville-le Pont, near Paris. about week before the opening of the games.
 Owing to the lack of time it will not customary previous to Olympic games. In place ~of this@ method, every army camp, student army training corps and Amateur Athletic union district has been requested to name one or more eligible athletes and from this roster team of at least 50 will be selected.
 The team will travel in body going and coming and will be in military uniform and under strict military dis cipline throughout the entire trip and competition. The final selection will not be made until a few days before the date of sailing.
 The list as it stands today includes: Wesley Oler, Jr.. Larry Scudder. Bingo Dismond, Nick Giannokopulos. w. H. Meanix, Lieut.. Tom Lennon, George Bronder. Carl Buck. Lieut.. J.

BULkELEY HIGH AND N. F. A.
 TO CROSS BATS TODAY

N. F. A. and Bulkeley High will clash this afternoon on the Academy campus for the first time since 1916, when the local boys handed defeat to their rivals.
 Thus far this season Bulkeley has been moving down all her rivals as they come, and they will not submit to their ancient rivals. N. F. A., without showing their best. It is expected that Moves, a southpaw of ability and who has twirled several fine games lately, will be used today.
 The battery of the Academy has not yet been announced. but it is thought either Meek. or Grabelefsky will twirl for N. F. A.. while Captain Counihan will act on the signal end.
 Thursday afternoon was given over entirely to batting practice. as Goa eh Mckay was far from satisfied with the batting in the Westerly game. The boys are expected to handle the wood with their usual power of connecting today and a good game is promised.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET BASED DEE.

New York, May f5-The most dis tinctiVe feature of today $ stock mar ket was the perceptible d,minution of business and variety of issues dealt in. Transactions again ran well over one million shares. but failed by a liberal margin to approach yesterdays total, which marked the years high record,
 Advances of one to five points were registered during the forenoon chiefly among steeis and affiliated cluip- ments, but the tone became he@itant later, gains in one quarter being neu- tralized by declines elsewhere, espec- tally among oils and motors.
 Several significant developments combined to restrain bullish ardor, these including the money situation and the further demcralization in the foreign exchange market. Paris remit tances recording another sharp de- cline.
 Yesterdays high and final rate of ' 1-2 per cent. for call loans proved fic- titious in that today's maximum was only six per cent. subsequently de- ciining to , 3-4. The fact remained that local financial institutions were urging a check on stock market eX- cess.
 U. S. Steel made further moderate gain at it's best. but this was reversed later, the stock losing one point. Other steels and equipments. notably Lacka- wanna and Gulf States Steels. Vir- ginia Iron. Pullman. General Electric, Air Brake and Baldwin Locomotive showed extreme advances of two to six points. but these were materially shaded at the end.
 Local utilities. mainly fractions dominated the final dealings, Brooklyn Transt and Interborough Consolidated also gas shares gaining two to 1-2 points with Tobaccos and sundry spe- cialties. Sales amounted to 100000 shares.
 Aside from utilities. which accom- panied the rise in related shares. the bond market, including Liberty issues was irregular. Total sales, par value aggregated SIS, .0o0. Old U. $. cou- pon 4s lost 1-S on call

THREE E-CORNERED MEET
 AT COLUMBIA TOMORROW

Alumni of Columbia, Pennsylvania and Dartmouth are certain to be on hand in great numbers when the track teams of these three colleges meet in triangular controversy on South field Saturday afternoon. It is the biggest college meet to be held in this city in several years and is attracting con siderable attention.
 The efforts of the Penn entrants will be watched closely. for many predict that the Quakers will win the inter collegiate championships at Cambridge Friday and Saturday of next week While Penn therefore rules the favor ite in the triangular affair, Dartmouth should be much in the running. Penn should score, heavily over both its rivals in the track events and should run a close second to Dartmouth ill the field contests. Dartmouth's big gest point collecting squad is the field unit. 4
 Columbia hopes to achieve two first places with Charley Shaw. the inter collegiate half mile champion. and A. Hulsenback. Fourteen points comprise the program.

TOLEDO BOXING COMMISSION

 Shahan is in excellent condition and will now be able to pitch in his old time form. As Manager Mcintyre has signed up a catcher named Ramsey who recently has come out of the navy and who played against Robert Ma ranville and other big leaguers in the navy. There is no reason for the Colonials refusing this challenge as we know that they have no game for the date that we are challenging them for. If Manager Woodmansee wants to find out more about the challenge he may call LID the United States Finish ing Co. 11S4. between F and 12.30 D.
