Nlontclair

Montclair has been called the most
attractive suburban town In America,
but Montclair is more than a suburb
beautiful. 1t is an ideal city of $4,000
inhabitants, overlooking the greatest
city in the world, fairyland at night,
when New York turns on its millions
of lamas
Only fourteen miles separate Mont
clair from New York. Lackawanna or
Erie Railroad trains cover the distance
i-a from 20 to 40 minutes
Montclair is on a hillside from $50 to
'fO feet above sea level Naturally the
S is as pure and bracing as will be
found at well known health resorts.
1t boasts Of elementary and high
schools surpassed by none; banks,
churches, stores, clubs and everything
necessary to the perfect home commu-
nifty.
Families of wealth, culture and re-
flnement have found Montclair espe-
claily attractive as a home town.
Beautiful Montclair has been under
constant development for 200 wears.
Hardy folks came there from Con-
nectlcut. They were on their way
West when they came to the first
Watching Mountain, and from it
looked across at the colony of New
York, which at the time was not built
north of Wall Street. The pioneers
were entranced by the outlook, and
then and there decided they would go
no further, but would build their
homes there. Many others have been
entranced since by the attractive set
ting OF Montclair, as may be seen by
the length and breadth of the town
and the high character of the homes
erected, some OF which are the finest
IN this part Of the country.

handed down from one generation to
another. The markets and stores are
metropolitan in character. Churches
OF every denomination are here and its

CORN WEEVIL, CONTROL
THE SEED SELECTION

Clemson College, Sept. 5.-The
corn seed for the 1920 crop should
be the very best seed obtainable. Ev-
cry planted can obtain this seed from
his own corn fields through the Sc
lection of the ears this fall before
the corn is harvested and put in the
crib, says Prof. A. F. Conrad, En-
tomologist.
There are a great many factors to
keep in mind when the ears are Sc
lected for next crops seed. One of
the important factors is that of Sc
lecting those types of ears which are
weevil resistant. Take only such
ears for seed as have a shuck cover
ing that is long and tight-ftting
enough to have kept most of the in
sects away from the grain. Such
ears will be found to be tightly

Increase and Decline.

Washington, Sept. 2.-An increase
during August of 214,000 bales in
the prospective cotton crop this year
was shown in to-day's cotton report
of the Department of Agriculture
which forecast a total of 11,23O,0OO
bales. The condition of the crop,
61.4 per cent of normal, showed a
decline during the last ten years of
II poits.
SOL, weeviE;, bill worms, army
worms and red spider combined with
almost continuous rains over consid-
cradle areas of the belt with dry, hot
weather following the heavy rains,
caused the deterioration of the crops.
IN Virginia, Georgia, and Florida,
the decline was heaviest, being IL
points in Virginia and IL in Georgia
and Florida. In Alabama it was nine
points and in North Carolina and
Texas six points.
Sea island cotton in Georgia and
Florida practically has been Destroy
ed by boil weevils which are now
damaging the crop in South Carolina
having appeared on the islands Of
the coast.
In Mississippi and Alabama where
the crop is short because of the boil
weevil most of it will be harvested
by October 1. Outside the weevil in
tested areas the crop continues two
weeks or more late.
Last month the crop was forecast
at II, ,016,aOO bales with the condi-
ton 67.1 per cent of normal while
the July report forecast a production

closed at the tips.
The best seed selection can be
done only in the field in the fall. In
making the selection of the ears fol
weevil resistance keep the following
points in mind.
l. Select those ears which are
hanging downward when mature, so
that rains are shed and not held.
2. Select only those ears which
have tight-ftting closed tip shucks.
8. The prolific varieties are usu-
ally harder and have greater weevil
resistance.
4. Weevil resistance depends on
the tightness of shucks and not on
hardness of grain.
5. The best seed selection is
possible only from stalks in the field,
where the height on stalk, number
of ears to the stalk, and hanging
characteristics, as we'll as the shuck
covering, can be seen. -.
6. Keep the selected ears in a
tight box or barrel until ready to
plant. If attacked by weevils during
winter, fumigate with carbon BIZ

WHY LEAGUE OF NATIONS.
Successful Farming.)


1t may not be a perfect state pa
per. 1t may have some faults that
will have to be corrected later. Our
own Constitution has been amended,
vet it is conceded to be'one of the
most perfect instruments ever drawn.
When many nations, instead of the
people of one nation, attempt to
draw up articles of agreement, it Is
natural that the result is compro-
mise.
It must be the present constitution
for League of Nations or none at
all. Amendments must come when
necessary. Perfection to begin with
is unattainable. A demand that the
constitution lie perfect, that it suit
every objecting lawyer who wants to
air his legal knowledge, is absurd.
The question is, shall we prevent fu;
ture wars or not?
The question of our unprepared-
ness had less to do with the begin
ming of the war than the question of
what nations would participate. Had
Germany ever dreamed that England
would side with Belgium, and that
Italy would violate the Triple ALI
ance between Austria, Germany and
Italy, and that the United States
would eventually side with the ene-
mics of Germany, there would have
been no war. .... ...
The war formed two leagues of ma
tions-those associating themselves
with the Central Powers and those
who allied themselves against this
greedy, military power. The big
league whipped the lesser. What we
want now is a perpetual league OF
nations which will stick together, a
league composed of the stronger ma
tions at least, so that. it : will be
known in advance what may be ex-
pected if any nation starts a war.
None will be started with such a
league in existence. Germany is
anxious to be a member of the Lea
que of Nations.
A reduction in armaments, leaving
only a national police force; abolish.
ment of compulsory training and Sc
cret diplomacy land government own
ership of all munition plants Will
make this old world very safe place
to live in, When we get back to
normal thinking, and our war-shat-
tered nerves quit twitching in fear,
we can amend the constitution OF
the League of Nations, if need be.
What we want now is a beginning to
the end of war. If this is the way;

ON TRAIL OF BANDITS
Carranza Government Givess But
.Scant Aid to u. S. Forces


American troops on the trail Of
Mexican bandits are operating with
scant assistance from the Carranza
forces, it was revealed today by dis
patches to the War Department.
from Major General Dickman, COM
'rnander Of the Department of the
Southwest
Because Of the silence on the part
Of Carranza since the American
forces crossed the border, it is gen.
orally believed that Mexican author
tiles were notified in advance of the
American action. There may be a
question raised later by Carranza, it
was said, as to how far the troops
may proceed into the Interior, as
he raised this query when Perish
ing's punitive expedition was in
Mexico.
The bandits who captured and
held for ransom the two American
tviators whose machine was help
less are getting a taste Of a new
kind OF medicine. Aviators have
spied them out and fired upon them
in return for fire from the bandits.

Local vaudeville fans have a real
treat awaiting them in the acts which
are booked to appear at the Murray
opening Monday matinee. Headlining
the bill for the first half will be Corse,
Waddell and Clark. three men who
sing the kind of songs you like to
hear. Aside from their excellent har.
mony singing they also dispense COM
edy which is said to be Of the enter
tanning variety. These boys have
played all the big time Keith houses
and no doubt they will be warmly re-
ceived here. Another comedy act will
be Denny and DUNCAN, a man and
woman singing and talking act which
is heralded as being something differ
emit. Their act has been especially
written to suit their personalities, and
with their elaborate wardrobe, Murray
patrons may look for something un-
usual from this talented team. The
sensational act Of the week will be
The Lunetta Sisters, who bill them
selves as "exponents OF dental avia-
ton" These young ladies are excep-
tionally beautiful and present an aer-
ial dancing novelty which has been
very, very successful over the Orph-
cum circuit this season. The bill
opening Thursday will comprise our
old friend Bill Shoemaker, who is
we'll known locally, and who will en-
terrain his Richmond friends with his
act which he has presented in all the
leading theaters. The other acts will
be The Thomas Trio, three men who
are artists upon the trampoline and
bars, and the Three Charming Girls
young ladies who will be heard in a
musical and instrumental program

Thursday, pay your fare as you enter
and in very short time. you'll find
yourself back in the years when
love is young in springtime' and all
the world is before you. Lila Lee is
the star of the Paramount picture
Puppy Love" which is guaranteed to
transport you into the past.
1t is a story by Monte NJ. Katter-
john. directed by r. William Neill.
The latter calls Puppy Love" a story
of Youth and Summertime, and he has
hit the nail on the head. 1t is de-
ightful-that's the only word to de-
scribe it. And as for comedy-never
anything better was done by Mark
Twain or his successors. Charles
Murray is the comedian-you know,
for you've seen him in Paramount
Mack Sennett comedies-and he is
simply scream"
The entire cast is good. The story
is good. The star is wonderful, and
you'll be simply carried away by the
sweetness and the charm of the pro-
duction.
