"Once again with 1920 women

toward providing themselves with an
introduction to the heavenly king
dom, a boon which marriages bring
to them, according to Mormon philos-
ophy. The return of year which
leaps forward a day, bringing to
them a privilege raonopolized by a
man three years out of four, has no
significance for women of many
lands, since they enjoy that liberty
all the time" says a bulletin from

tiers.
"The women of no race possess
more freedom in this matter than
Sthe Hopi Indians of Arizona" the
bulletin continues. "a maiden does
not WOO the man of her choice, but

each ear. This is her announcement
that she is going accounting. These

STATE WILL WATCH
PINK BOIL WORMS
Georgia Bureau of Entomology Noti-
fed That New Cotton Pest Has
Appeared in Louisiana.

Notice has been received by the
Georgia bureau of entomology of
the appearance of the pink bollworm
in Cameron parish, Louisiana, and
possibly, too, in Calcasieu parish.
The pest is another Mexican impor-
tation, said to be even more destruc-
tive of cotton than the boil weevil,
and it had not hitherto been located
in any state except Texas.
It's appearance in Louisiana has
given general alarm to cotton pro-
ducers throughout he belt, and i'm
mediate steps are being taken by the
federal and state authorities to pre-
vent, if possible, its further spread.
A general conference of entomology
ical workers and others interest
ed in suppressing the parasite has
been called to meet in New Orleans
on Thursday.
The Georgia board of entomology,
\ cooperation with the federal bu-
reau, is taking steps to enforce quar-
anime measures to prevent the pest
from reaching Georgia.
