SAYS POISON WILL
KILL BOIL WEEV1L
Senator Ransdell of Louisiana Gives
Results OF Calcium Arsen-
ate Tests

Washington, Aug. 25.-According
to Senator Ransdell, of Louisiana
who is himself a large grower OF
cotton. the boil weevil is about to be
conquered by poison.
The Louisiana Senator, with fire.
quent colroboratory interruptions by
Senate Harrison, Of Mississippi,
who is familiar with similar expert
ments conducted in that State by the
Department o. Agriculture made, a
detailed statement on the subject to
the Senate Z few days ago.
Mr.. Ransdell's own words will give
the substance Of his conclusions in a
way to interest all cotton growers:
"Mr. President, it is thought by
those who have investigated the sub
ject carefully and ] am one of them
that remedy for the boil weevil
pest in cotton has been discovered
through a poison known as calcium
arsenate, which was developed in
! Tallulah, La, at an experiment sta
ton conducted for the Department
of Agriculture by MIR. B. r. Coad, an
able scientist, under the Bureau OF
Entomology.
"Some Of the largest planters in
the Mississippi Delta have tried il
extensively. One Of these is Prof. j
W. Fox, Of Scott, Miss, who is gen.
eral manager OF the largest cotton
plantation in the world. He says in
a letter addressed to me under date
of August Is: 4 am now ready to
say unqualifedly that this poison
will control the weevil at a cost
which is not prohibitive.' Another
very large planter Of Mississippi is
Mr.. Alex Y. Scott, who is manage,
of several successful plantations near
Rosedale. He indorses the poison in
unqualified language.
Then l have letter from Mr.. A
W. Barrett, of Albany, Ga, to which
| call the attention Of the Senate,
from Georgia. This letter seems to
indorse the poison very strongly and
calls the attention Of the people OF
Georgia to it.
"Mr. Coad gives the result of ex-
periments made by gentleman in
Louisiana, Mr.. F. j. Venerable, OF
Jeanerette. He made a test last year
ON a small field of five acres of cot
ten-two fields, rather, of two and
one-half acres in seperate plats,
One-half of each plat was poisoned
and the other half not poisoned. Mr.
Coads says: Average yield per acre
for the two varities of cotton tested
by Mr.. Venerable was 159 pounds OF
lint cotton per acre in his untreated
cotton and 463 pounds of lint cotton
per acre in his poisoned cotton Any
one who is cotton grower knows
that that is a marvellous gain; that
a yield of 463 pounds of lint cotton
is a very satisfactory yield and that
159 pounds is certainly not profta-
ble."

BANDIT CHIEF KILLED
Troops Returning From Mexico Be-
lieve Renteria Was Shot

Maria, Texas, Aug. Z5~-lhe
American cavalry border patrol rest
ed in home stations between Preside
and Hester's Ra1eh after six days in
Mexico in pursuit Of the bandits who
kidnapped and held for ransom two
American aviators.
With reported killing Of Jesus Rem
terra, leader Of the bandits, and four
other bandits, capture Of nine by
Mexican troops and arrests of six
suspects by the Americans, Maj. j.
P. Yancey declared the fourth puni-
tive expedition into Mexico had ac-
complished its object of clearing
bandits from the section of Mexico
just below the border from the Big
Bend, Texas region.
On Tuesday the troops resumed
patrolling the American border COM
munities as a safeguard against ban
dts from South of the Rio Grande.
It will be an alert border guard, in
view of reports Monday that the
Mexican incursion had aroused the
natives of Northern Mexico who
have been more or less friendly with
the outlaws.
Official reports of the expedition
show the remarkable accomplishment
of the cavalry, some of whom march
ed rs miles on their return.
81 am feeling a just pride in the
men and officers of my command who
made the campaign" Colonel Lang
horne said Monday.
An important part was played by
the aviators who kept up liason with
the troops, searched the mountain
sides and carried supplies, locating
at least one band of bandits.
The aviators also are given credit
for killing of Jesus Renteria, with
machine gun bullets. The airmen also
acted as couriers for the Mexican
federals under General Pruneda and
General Dieguez.
Capt. Leonard F. Matlack returned
to his river station at Candelaria
Monday.
"My troops are in fine condition
and are ready for more" he said
over the army telephone at Cande-
laria.
"Mexicans in four or five places
along the trail told US about reports
of Jesus Renteria having been kill
ed.n he continued. "PrecliaDo Ceran-
do. owner Of a ranch On Cuchllo
tanks told us Saturday Slim Oiv-
las, one Of Renteria's band and an
other bandit passed through the
ranch leading a wounded horse We'd
nesday, a day after our aviators re-
ported killing bandit.
"They told Cerando that Jesus
Renteria was killed in the saddle by
airplane bullets. We started after
Olivias and his companion on Satur-
day with a patrol Of seven men, IN
addition to Lieutenant Peterson and
myself. We went within IL miles OF
Coyame searching for the trail.
We continued toward Coyame at
ter dark. We saw tiny flares OF lights
where a Mexican patrol was smok-
ing cigarettes and approaching with
in 80 yards of the patrol. Then we
returned to headquarters camp and
reported the presence of Carranza
patrols to Major Yancey. We learn
ed there were about $50 more Car
ranza troops in Coyame. After a
conference a decision was reached TO
withdraw as the bandit trail had not
been found. We started on the march
out at 10 o'clock Sunday morning.

Law AND ORDER
ARE ESSENTIALS
SAYS A. PALMER
Attorney General Sympa-
thetic to Mistakes of For
eign Element.

EASTON. Pa, Oct. 16.-Law and
order must be preserved in America
and immigrants must realize that
when they reach these shores, their
time for the use of force Is behind
them, Attorney General A. Mitchell
Palmer declared Wednesday night, in
an address at Founderss Day exer-
cises. Lafayette College.
The mistake which seems to have
been made by many who have come
here recently from other parts of the
world" said Mr.. Palmer, sis this:
They affect to believe that the gen
eral movement for better conditions OF
life in other parts of the world must
have its counterpart in method in this
newer world.
They refuse to see the stupendous
advance which has been made in that
movement here during the last cen
fury by men Of larger minds and broad
er visions who precede them to this
land for that purpose.
Sincerity 10 Doubted.
1T is difficult for US to give credit
for sincerity to many Of the ultra-rad'
lcal class-war agitators, who seek the
short and rough road, built by force
when they have at hand the smoother,
though possibly longer, route. 1t is
perfectly clear that certain Of them
are mistaken honestly; it is equally
clear that many of them are mere self.
Eeekers who would exploit their fellow
for their own benefit.
The ingenuity of man has made the
Atlantic Ocean a mere ditch between
the continents. New inventions will
make 1t still narrower, but it always
must be wide enough to permit the
Immigrant, as he crosses it, to rid him
self for all time of all the misconcep
tons Of government with which the old
conditions filled his mind.

coated and when the weather is bad you
have rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment; the channels
often get irritated, obliging you to get
up two or three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
