COTTON BLISTER JOINS
WITH BOIL WEEVIL
PORTO RICAN MITE, NEWEST
COTTON PEST, ON WAY TO
UNITED STATES.

WASHINGTON.-Look out for
the running mate of the cotton boil
weevil-the Porto Rican cotton bis
ter mite. He is on his way here now,
according to the United States de-
partment of agriculture, and every
precaution must be taken to head
him off.
Further discussing this parasite the
department said: Announcement of
a public hearing to be held in Wash
ington June % to consider the adj
visibility Of prohibiting the importa-
ton of cotton seed and seed cotton
because of the prevalence of the cot
ton blister mite has been made by the
department. The question of restrict
irr the importation of cotton lint
from the territory for the same reas-
ons will also be considered.
"This hearing will be held in Wash
ington, June 20. Any person inter
ested in the proposed quarantine may
appear and be heard.
Cotton blister mite is dangerous
insect not known to occur within the
United States. Information, howev-
err, has come to the department that
the insect is now present in Porto
Rico. Officials are apprehensive,
therefore, that it may find its way
into the United States and menace
the cotton crop here. Additional
grounds for the quarantine exist in
the fact that a cotton boil disease is
also present in Porto Rico at this
time which might be introduced into
the United States and prove even
more dangerous.
"The enforcement of the proposed
quarantine will make it necessary for
the seed produced in the island either
to be exported to foreign countries
or to be milled or otherwise utilized
here. 1t is not purposed under the
quarantine to prevent the importa-
ton of ginned cotton and cottonseed
cake, meal and oil from the island
under safeguards"

CAPITAL IS OVERR in
WITH PRESS AGENTS
PUBLICITY BUREAUS IN WASH
INGTON SEEK AID FOR
MANY PROJECTS,

More than 100 organizations of
special interest groups, ranging in
size and Importance from the Amer
lean Federation of Labor to the
Friends of the Ukraine are intrench-
ed in Washington and bombarding
congress, the newspapers and the
American people with assorted argu-
ments, warnings and pleas in behalf
of the particular plan they want the
United States to undertake for them.
The American Federation of Labor
las recently erected a seven-story of
flee building to house it's various
branches, while the National Board of
Farm Organizations has purchased a
30-room house for it's use, planning
to erect a temple of agriculture as
soon as an appropriate site can be
located.
Plenty of Enlightenment.
The United States Chamber of
Commerce has a suite of rooms in an
office building, far less imposing than
the headquarters of the Friends of
Irish Freedom on Pennsylvania ave-
nue.. From these and other bases of
operations of diminishing extent,
down to the one-room office, floods
of propaganda pour forth daily for
the information and enlightenment of
the American people.
Still other propaganda shops act
lively engaged in furnishing opinions
ready made represent prison labor,
government clerks, free speech, con-
tractors, consumers, cotton manufac-
turers, whisky and beer, coal and
timber land development, suffrage
and anti-suffrage, cane and beet
sugar interests and scores of other
groups with grievances or remedies
to suggest for the consideration of
congress.
Every Race Has Press Agent.
Then there are the oppressed ma
tionalities from the Irish to the Co.
reans, who tell their troubles at
length in mimeographed messages to
senators, congressman and the news
paper men. The Philippine commits
sion has a permanent Office and press
bureau in the same Office with the
Irish national bureau.
The Lithuanians have one room
over a drug store from which they
send out bulletins telling of the abuse
of the Lithuanians by the Poles, and
the Poles have suite of offices in
which they prepare literature telling
of the wrongs they have suffered at
the hands of the Bolsheviki.
The Jugo-Slavs, the Coreans. the
UkEanians and even the Egyptians,
represented by Joseph w Folk, form
er governor of Missouri, are ready
and anxious to point out in detail ex-
actly what the United States should
do for them.

years. His story was substantially as
follows:
81 am on duty from until 1880
o'clock p. m. We left the postoftice
at 9:1O o'clock Tuesday night bound
for the terminal station with about
1900 pounds of mail in the truck.

mail. parcel post and miscellaneous
mail.
"As we turned into West Hunter
street from Forsyth street a man
jumped on the running board. He
said. I'm an officer and here's my Gre
dentials.' He pointed two guns at US,
got in between us, jabbing one gun
into my ribs and the other in the ribs
of Craig, the negro driver.
"He made US turn up Madison ave
nue. After we had gone about mile
he made me lie on my face under the
teering wheel while he tied Craig's
hands. He then tied my hand behind
my back, united Craig and made him
drive out past West View on the Ad-
amsville road. He made him turn into
a field road and go for about hun
dred yards. He then tied Craig again
and gagged him. Instead of gagging
me he forced me to tell about the reg
istered mail.
"He then ent through the regis
ter pouch, opening the letters and
took what he wanted. He dragged US
about a hundred yards and said he
was going back to the first class mail.
On some way Craig got hold of
his knife and we got loose. hurried
to a nearby house and man accom-
panied me back to the truck. The man
and l started reloading the truck,
while Craig caught passing automo-
bile back to town. The authorities
went to the scene with bloodhounds."

BEES MAKE A LONG
JOURNEY BY PARCEL POST
Hive Arrives in Maine Town by Mail
From Alabama.

LITCHFIELD, Maine.-A hive of
bees arrived here by parcel post from
Alabama in good condition. The only
instructions which accompanied the
package were that they should be
kept out of the sun and should be
given plenty of air.
A postofice clerk noticed with in
terest an incident in connection with
the bees. One of them took hold of
dead bee and carried it through the
live bunch to corner of the crate,
where he left the body and returned
to mingle with the live ones.
The high cost of sugar has struck
the bee business. During the past
cold months many apiarists let their
hives die because of the expense of
furnishing them with sugar and this
summer they are buying new hives.

A Blow of Treachery.

1t was a desolate Homecoming

of distant water, the silence and black
ness all about, and the dim outline
of the cabin barely visible amid the
surrounding trees. The girl held her
breath with lips pressed tight, staring
around into the vague shadows and
permitted Shelby to gently swing her
between the wheels to the ground.
Some way the strong grasp of his
hands brought back to her a sense
of courage.

Yes" she said, her voice trembling
slightly in spite of every effort at

out here"
All right; this is the path; don't
be afraid. I won't let you stumble.
Now, one step up; that's it."

They fell into silence and rode on
thus for hours, seldom speaking, each
engrossed In their own thoughts. To
ward shutdown they came into a more
rolling country, with patches of green
grass, and the trail wound in and out
among shallow depressions, yielding
greater variety of scenery. Just be-
fore dark they toiled up over high
ridge and from the summit looked for
some distance down the valley of the
Cottonwood. The trail ran slantingly
down the side of the bluff, zigzagging
here and there in search of easier pas
sage, and it was necessary to descend
slowly. Consequently it was an hour
after dark when they finally drove up
to small cabin surrounded by trees,
a hundred feet back from the stream,
and the driver announced their arrival.

Since that time I have made it rule to take a few bottles of Tanlac each year, and by so doing I keep my system built up and feel strong and well all the time. My father, who is now II years of age, says Tanlac keeps him able to work also. He commenced taking it at the same time I did nearly four years ago, and has been like different person ever since He was troubled very badly with in. digestion, also suffered with some. thing like asthma, and was hardly able to get about. But my 'Dad' ha, little trouble of any sort now, fo, he keeps his Tanlac on hand and en- joys splendid health for one of his age-says it keeps him feeling strong.
