Pink Boil WeeviI at Shreveport

Pink Boil WeeVil at Shreveport
Official report has been received
by the State Plant Board that the
pink bollworm has been discovered
near Shreveport, Louisiana. This
discovery brings the pink bollworm
nearly 200 miles further north and
east into the cotton belt. Every ef-
fort is being made to eradicate the
pest by the state and federal au-
thorities.
This new infestation of the pink
boil worm may prove more serious
than any that have been previously
discovered, as it is close to one of
the great cotton producing regions.
the Red River Valley.
The Plant Board urges every per-
son growing cotton in Mississippi,
and every person handling cotton
seed, to be constantly on the search
for the pink bollworm or its work.
If the pest has been broght into
Mississippi it should be found be-
fore it has an opportunity to spread
over a large area.
Further information may be had
from the Entomologist, State Plant
Board, Agricultural College, Mis-
sissippi.

F|FY-F FIVE YEARS AFTER END OF WAR
 HE CLAIMS PENSION

Fifty five years after the close or the Civil war, in which he had part, it occurred to Jesus Figueroa that he ought to have pension when he dis covered that almost everybody else was getting one. But Jesus, though he probably will make it. will occasion a great deal of searching of the war rec ords before his claim can be estab- Iished. He offers nothing at all in the way of documentary proof that he was a soldier in the war between the states.
 His case was brought to the atten- ton of the adjutant general yesterday in a letter from the $. c. Leonard Claims Agency of Los Angeles in which 1t was stated that Figueroa had presented himself to that agency with a request that his claim be taken up.
 He said that he had lost his dis charge papers many years ago. He did not remember the letter of his company or the number of his organiz- ation. He only knew that he enlisted at Calabasas, Arizona, in a company, the name of whose captain was Wash ington some thing. He did not remem- Der the last name. He remembered that his enlistment took place on Au- gust ?, 1864, and that he was dis charged on August 21 the following year. One of the officers of his com pany was Lieutenant Sebolletano and his sergeant was Jesus Ochor (prob- ably Ochoa). Other companies of his organization, he said, were recruited in California.

Famous Statistician Holds Human Souls Our Most Valuable Resource-Says Religion Has Played Main Part in Progress

BOSTON. Mass. Aug. 5.-Roger w. B4hson. the statistician, is the first economist to come forward with the statement that human souls and not forests. mines and streams constitute Americas greatest undeveloped re- sources
 The statistical sage of Wellesley Hills. in his latest monograh. "Funda- mentals of Prcserity.'' has .forsaken the tleit cf percentage. tonnage, poundage and dollars in an effort to prove that we must look to religion and not to modern efficiency methods to insure rational prosperity His is probably the first serious effort by a recognized business expert to show an interrela- ton o< spiritual and commercial life.
 Too much credit is given both to capital and labor in the discussions of ro9ar.~ says MT Babson. ssThe real credit for most of the things which we hare Is due to some human soul which supplied the faith which was the main spring or the enterprise"
 1n stating that integrity, faith, in- cz1SrrS and cooperation are the essen rtalS Of all business relationships and that these should lead to greater pro- cuction by our manufacturers. the au- thor has not merely echoed the as- scr-cns Of Frank X. NanderIIp, Francis StSSun and other bankers who have at- tempted a solution of commercial prob
 
 and says that inspiration for greater production must come from religion and that unless the church is developed and supported the fountain head of our inspiration will run dry
 Not Sect Argument
 Although MT Babson is one of the most active laymen in the Unitarian church. Fundamentals of Prosper frc~ is not an argument for any sect or creed The monograph owes much 70 the inspiration of the study which the author has given to the needs oi his denomination in anticipation of the forthcoming Unitarian religious, edu- carlonal and financial campaign.
 Though AIT. Babson has refrained from p1atitudes or speculative fore casts. he has made the daring state rnenr that fpanfcs are caused by spiritual causes rather than financial and prosperity is the result of right eousness rather than of material , things
 ~I say this not as a churchman,. he Sars. VI could give the same messa ge if were speaking to a group of bank CTS or engineers
 His statement is fortified by chart which combines and plots current fig ures on new buildings, crops. ciearings, immigration, total foreign trade, mon ey. failures. commodity prices. railroad earnings. stock processes and politics,
 His three most unusual paragraphs are
