Leon Weltman is recognized as one
of the foremost musicians Of the day,
for in addition TO being an orchestral
conductor he is also violin virtuoso.
He will appea;' in this double role on
your Community Chautauqua program.
He will play one Of his most success
full compositions, THE Canarie Ca
price, beautiful bird-like melody re-
9artled by critics as a masterpiece OF
music But writing about Mr. Welt
mans beautiful music is as difficult
as trying to tell of the songs Of birds
You must hear both to appreciate
them. The songs Of birds may be
heard most any day but YOU can hear
Mr. Weltman's violin music only on
the last day Of your Community Chau-
tauqua when he appears with his own

was a rally OF fifteen to twenty-five

PINK BOllW0RM
THREATENS COTTON

! Washington. u. &. March 4,-Thc
pink holiworm OF cotton, previously
supposed to exist in this country only
in Texas has been discovered at a
number ~.~places in Cameron Parish,
La, where II is believed to have been
for at least two years, 1t has been
found, also, in Calcasieu parish. but
so recently that definite information
7 as 70 distribution Is not available. The
old Infested area around Trinity bay
has also been somewhat extended.
Lots OF cotton seed, ranging from one
to twenty cars have been shipped
from Cameron parish to Alexandria.
Broussaru, Shreveport. Bunkie and
Monroe, La, San Antonio, Fort WORTH
Houston San Marcos and New Brau~
fels, Texas. Several of these points
have no oil mills and the seed was
probably used for planting. Thus
there is the possibility that the pink
bollworm has been scattered to all Of
these sections and possibly TO others
not yet determined.
This brings about a serious situa-
tion for the cotton industry of the
United States, says the United States
department ~ agriculture. Unless
the radical, but necessary. steps are
promptly taken by the states con-
ccrned in cooperation with the fed
eral department Of agriculture, the
pink bollworm will certainly get out
Of hand and the work OF extermina-
Hion already carried out in Texas will
be lost. Congress has been asked to
provide additional funds and to make
them Immediately available,

MUCH GOLD CONES

4 new 0rk. AiATCn Sr-~StoChS dtNN'
today as IL about all the bears in wall
street had covered in the fret hour, Thc
market was disappointment 20 those
who locked for n good response to the
news of gold imports But the real
Wall street paid little attention TO
prices because IL was busy figuring out
what would be the effect of the gold
| that Great Britain Is TO send mere.
| Banking opinion was that the gold
would make very little difference IN
| the American situation because the
federal reserve board viii not relax its
campaign for Debating tho currency.
Speculative opinion was eearish be-
cause the traders took II for granted
that the currency would be expanded as
matter of routine on arrival OF this
gold.
The net result Of the incident there
fore is bcarsh rather than huiftsh for
the active traders are treating II as an
argument for selling stocks and the
bankers refuse to look upon IL as an
argument for buying stocks.
The furry of this morning wiped out
large part Of the genuine short In
terest and confirmed the suspicion that
most Of the short interest is for the
account OF insiders who have borrowed
stocks in order to get call rates for idle
money.
Justly ceie hrated technical condition OF
tho stock market is weakened.
Oil stocks wers leaders in the rally
today because of the intimatioD from
Washington that the government might
take drastic measures to get supply
Of fuel oil for the shipping board,
Very naturally the Mexican stocks
were at the head of the advancing col
uun because II the government takes
4ys4- ~ytbR nA
States that will make II impossible for
many of tho American companies to MI
their contracts abroad and viii give
that many more customers to the Mexi-
canconcernS-
But mors significant feature Of
the situation Is that the oil companies
have given the government very
broad hint that they want protection in
Mexico. II the American government
wants oil for its own use II Will have to
see that the oil comes ont Of Mexico.
Any quantity of II can come from Mex
leo II the producers are guaranteed a
square deal.
In steel there was some active buy
ing for short time, but II proved to
he short covering Before the day end
cd even steel had fattened out. A drop
in the call rate from nine to six per
cent failed TO do no more than hold the
market steady Sterling was strong

There has been considerable gold

AS long as the present strength Is
shown in cash corn. however. the short
side of that grain is certainly danger

wanting the syrup have telephoned
their orders to the county agents, the
orders viii be collected at the state
farm bureau Office and sent to the

This plan will eliminate the profits

Advertise Consistently or Soon be
Forgotten

There is world of truth in that old
saying-"Out of sight,. out of mind, %
and particularly so in advertising.
Who nowadays remembers, except
vaguely, the once famous names of
''Phoebe Snow" "Sunny Jim," or
"Sanitas Toasted Corn Flakes? Yet
a few years ago through persistent
national advertising, those names
were as Familiarity known as Goodyear
Tires and Post Toasties are today.
And it is much the same in your
business and with your advertising. A
steady, consistent, and forceful adj
vertiser, advertising wisely and reg
ularly need never have any fears of
being unknown in his community, nor
need he fear competition to any ex-
tent. Advertising will batter down
the barriers of sales resistance and
increase the volume of business.
It is poor policy to advertise
spasmodically, using large space once
in great while, and then forgetting
your advertising for a stretch of
months.-Curtis Advance.

KANSAS STATE FARM BUREAU

Manhattan, Kan, Aug. 19.-Farm-
ers in Kansas will be able to buy their
maple syrup direct from the farmers
of New York through the state farm
bureaus of the two states. A letter
received here by Charles R. Weeks,
secretary of Kansas State Farm Bu-
reau, from L. r. Simons of the New
York Farm Bureau Federation, states
that farmers of Cortland county in
that state have 1900 gallons of
maple syrup which they wish to sell
direct to the consumers in Kansas.
Mr.. Weeks has written to all coun-
