CANADA SECOND
 IN MANUFACTURE - OF AUTOMOBILES
United States First In Man ufacture and Owner
 ship of Cars

Canada is now the second nation in the world in the manufacture of automobiles, number of cars owned and the per capita distribution.
 The United States takes first rank, with Great Britain second.
 Figures compiled show that one person in every fifteen in the United States owns an automobile, while one in every twenty-three is the percent age in Canada In Great Britain but one person in every 26S owns a car. The percentage in France is one to 102, one to 6S4 in Germany, one to 1000 in Italy, and one to 2,700 in Austria and one to $500 in Russia.
 The total number of cars registered in this country is approximately r. 100,00 in the Dominion $50, 0,00O and in England 180,0OO. Canada showed increased registration in 1919 of 13 per cent. Ontario was the banner province, with a registration of 127,- S6O passenger cars and ii, LAPS trucks.
 Canada employs 15,000 workers in the automobile industry, which re- presents an investment of s50,000,000. In 1919, 94,O00 automobiles were manufactured in the Dominion, with total sales for the year of approxi- mate1y s1O0,00O,000. The annual wages of persons in the industry totals $15, 5,00O,00O.
 Rural Canada owns more than half the cars operated in the Dominion, and in the prairie provinces the per- centage is greater.
 It is estimated that the total Cana dian production of autom obiles in 1920 will be increased 35 percent over 1919.

CLAIMS U. s. MAY HAVE WOMAN AS
 CHIEF EXECUTIVE
Mrs. Crosby Says Woman May Be Elected Pres
 ident In 1914

New York, June 3.---The millions of American women who expect their po- 1itical status to be changed by Federal amendment to citizenship next No venaoer are going to become a power for good in the nation according to Mrs. John Sherwin Crosby. a delegate to the Democratic National Conven- ton in San Francisco this month. A woman president of the United States. she says, is remote but not 1mpossi- ble, say, in 1944.'
 Mrs Crosby, who has been called -'the mother of New York woU1on Democrats" a w11ite-haired, @Ynified matron of more than three score years---she is the widow of a. judge declared the 300 or more women del- egates would go to the convention with the determination to nominate strong man and put through a @con- Structive" program.
 Tt will be the greatest convention ever held,'' she said, because wo- men for the first time will have a voice in it. I expect to see bitter fight, particularly over the question of majority or unit rule. can, of course, only speak for myself and what the women may do when they enter the convention will depend largely upon the action they take in the preliminary caucuses- I believe an effort will be made to put a plank in the platform calling for a modified ton of the Volstead Enforcement Act and permitting the manufacture and sale of light wines and beer I be Ieye, however, that anyone should be obedient to law I oppose anarchy and socialism.
 "An American women," she contin- ued, '+are sufferers from the profiteers. We must fight them and I am sure we have ingenuity enough to devise a way to defeat them and, in other ways, to bring down the cost of liv- ing. Inequita,bIe taxation undoubtedly will come in for its share of attention at the San Francisco caucuseS and the idea of Henry George of stopping speculation in land and relieving both workers and industry from some of their burdens undoubtedly will be advocated by women. The worst prof iteer of all is the profteer in houses and 1and.''
 The woman leader declared that with the change in the political would come. however, no violent change in governmental affairs It would take women a long time to be come practical politicians, she said, but they would become such event uaIly. She said the time would come when women would fill the most inn portant offices within the gift of the people, even to a woman president of the United States, Supreme Court Justices and members of Congress.

However, Assistant United States Attorney General Thomas J.
 
 the initiative at the February meet ing brought about an understanding anprz. the delegates to carry out the ipAMn presumably on the first ballot, as a. conn pliment to Cummings and to give him greater influence in the con- venti0n- Spellacy himself is work ing for the ultimate nomination of his chief, Attorney General A Mitchell Palmer.

LUTHER MAY JOIN NATIONALS.
Washington Americans Fail to Get
Former Carlisle Pitcher.

The Newberry Herald and News
tells Of the chance Punk Luther, a
Columbia boy pitching for Newberry
college, has just declined to go to the
Washington American League club.
Luther, after pitching for Columbia
high school, did good work in prep
school ranks at Carlisle school, Bam-
berg, and has been a star at New
berry college for two years. The
Herald and News says:
Under the heading, "Griff's May
Get College Pitcher the Washing
ton Post of April l contained the fol-
lowing interesting item:
..Another pitcher may be added to
the Washington roster soon. Joe En-
gel, the demon scout, will go to New
berry college tomorrow to look over
a youngster named Luther. Frank
Ellerby's brother told Griffith today
that Luther, right handler, is about
ready for trial in the big show. He
has been standing batters hereabouts
on their heads. Joe has authority to
bring the lad back if he looks as If he
may go in the majors.
The next day The Post carried the
following still more interesting para
graph:
&c. Punk Luther, the young New
berry college pitching star, has turn
ed down an offer from the Washing
ton club. Luther has two more years
of study ahead and wishes to com
plete his education before playing
professionally
In deciding to complete his educa,
ton in the face of so tempting an OF
fer, the young student in question
has determined wisely and we'll. MOI
everyone would have come to the
same conclusion. A college student
who does this deserves the highest
praise. All right thinking people
will give him credit. The Herald
and News likes to record sane acts
especially at time when the WhoE
world seems crazy.

POISONING the
BOIL WEEvIL
Extensive Trials Show That Cal.
eium Arsenate Properly Ap-
Piled Is Profitable Means OF
Controlling the Boil Weevi-
Method Perfected by Govern.
ment Experts.
C.. A. Whittle Soil Improvement
Committee.

Calcium arsenate, the boil weev1
poison, was applied to more than
100, 600 acres of cotton in Mississippi
Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas dur
ing the season of 1919, under the dl'
rection of government experts. The
results obtained lead them to state
that a saving of 500 pounds Of seed
cotton to the acre were not an un-
usual matter, and, in some cases, as
much as 1000 pounds were protected
from the weevil.
These savings have been made at
an outlay Of from $500 to $1,000 per
acre, which includes cost of materials,
labor and reasonable charge for de-
probation Of machinery. At the price
at which cotton is now selling this
would indicate that it is well worth
while to poison the boil weevil.
{ It is advised by those who have per.
fected this means Of holding the wee
vii In check that the additional cost Of
growing cotton should not be assumed
on very low yielding acres, therefore
cotton should be grown on the better
land and be fertilized so as to pro-
duce maximum yields.
Is In combating the weeyil with poi.
son, it is not possible to exterminate
1t, but the object is to control it so
that they will not destroy more squares
Of the cotton than would naturally
shed. This, it has been found. can
be done, thus assuring the farmer
that he can grow full crop under boil
Weeyil conditions.
When to Begin Poisoning
Poison is not applied until about
10 to Is per cent of the squares have
been punctured. The time to begin
can be determined by going into the
field in various places, counting a
hundred squares taking all on each
plant, and if ten to fifteen out Of
each 100 is destroyed, the spraying
can begin. In large fields it is fire.
auently found that the weevils be-
gin near the woods The poisoning
should begin there and need not be
put all over the field until the in.
Hesitation has extended to all parts of
It.

CONFEDERACY UNLIKE IRELAND.
Declares South lnSulted by Such a
Comparison.

Atlanta. Ga, April 2l.-In state
ment issued here today, n. B. For
rest. commander in chief of the Sons
of Confederate Veterans, criticised re-
cent utterances of Premier Lloyd
George of Great Britain, in connec-
ton with the Irish question, in which
LLOYD George compared the Irish Re-
public to the Southern Confederacy
and Eamon de Valera, now touring
the South, to Jefferson Davis.
Resolutions condemning the re-
marks of Lloyd George were adopted
at a meeting of the executive officers
of the Sons of Confederate Veterans
in Washington last week, according
to Mr.. Forrest, who said:
''In comparing the Irish Republic
to the Southern Confederacy, and de
Valera to Jefferson Davis, Lloyd
George has offered, unconsciously
perhaps, a gratuitous insult to the
Southern States in the American
Union and to the splendid sons of
the Southern Confederacy who fought
and distinguished themselves on the
fields of France in the World War.
It is remarkable that a statesman
holding the high Office of premier of
Great Britain should be so ignorant
of the political history of America.
ireland has not the status of an
independent state as was the case
with the American colonies. Ireland
has not been a self-determining Re-
public. De Valera, without discredit-
ing his status, is not the elected pres
ident of confederation of States,
called as was Jefferson Davis, to the
high office. There is no parallel in
which, the status of the so-called Re-
public of Ireland and that of its
president correspond to the Southern
Confederacy and it's chief executive.
