In discussing the matter with Mr..
French he decided to make the trip to
Blanket Immediately for the purpose
of checking up the story, and after
making thorough investigation on
September 9th, he reports the condi-
tions he found somewhat as follows
In an adjoining field consisting of 12
acres, from IS to 90 per cent of the
bolls were punctured and the entire
II acres would not make more than
two bales of cotton. On the expert
mental plot of % acres where the
hogs were allowed to range, the cot
ton will make a half bale to the acre
and probably more. Mr.. French
states that he took up one stalk of
cotton with So bolls, none Of which
we're punctured. The herd of hogs
consists of 3 sows, 6 gifts and ID pigs.
They have been running in the patch
ever since the first punctured forms
have fallen.
AS a further evidence of the value
of the pigs running in the cotton field.
Mr.. French found that where the pigs
slept at night near the barn and their
watering place, there were practically
no punctured bolls; but in remote
parts of the field where the pigs range
less frequently the punctures were
more numerous. The cotton was in
no way damaged by the hogs. Mr..
Sterling has been conducting this ex-
pertinent for the past 6 years, and has
found that it has given him uniform
results every year.

JAPANESE MAKE PROTEST

Toxic, Dec. ia large mass meet
ing of students, members of the
Students League of Japan, was held
here today. A resolution protesting to
the world in the name of "justice and
humanity" against the anti-Japanese
law in California was adopted. The
resolution called on the American
people to reflect on their course"
The speakers, who were chiefly
students and journalists, declared that
while the world would recognize Japan

japanese as an inferior race. The OBJ

to arouse public opinion.

PIGS AND BOIL WEEVIL
ARE VERY PROFITABLE

a few days ago Mr.. G.. c.. French,
Industrial Agent for the TT. Worth
Stock Yards, was in my office and
presented the following clipping from
live stock journal:
"Comanche, Texas, September T.
This section has one farmer who not
only has no fear of the boil wcevil,
but actually turns it to an advantage.
His name is w. B. Sterling, and he
lives near Blanket, about ten miles
southwest of Comanche. He says he
has no wabOut half bale Of cotton
to the acre matured, with good pros
poets for continued maturity. He has
his farm fenced into sub divisions
with hog-proof fences. AS soon as the
boil weevil begins 10 make it's appear
ance he turns his hogs into the cotton
field. He has about 80 to 35 head of
pigs big enough to eat and range, and
these pigs gather every fallen form
punctured by the weevil and knocks
Oft the punctured forms which still
adhere to the stalk. They actually
fattcn on the larvae thus devoured
and seem to be specially fond of the
combined vegetable and animal diet.
''In addition to destroying the en-
tire wecvil crop, they also loosen up
the soil without the slightest damage
to the plant in their rigid cleaning up
of the fallen forms. Fields adjoining
or adjacent TO his farm, where no
hogs have been ranged will not make
cotton enough to pay for the picking.

M AULIFFE NOT TO BE REMOVED His Work In This Sectior
 Has Been Most Thorough.

Prohibition Enforcement Officer Thomas NBcAuhffe is not to be re- moved from the command of the men who have been enforcing the 18th Amendment in this State, according to James Shevlin of New York, who has charge of the enforcement in Con- necticUt as we'll as in New York.
 MT. tShevfin said that he knew of no reason why such a rJHnor had been circulated as he had never contem- plated such a move
 The law is being more strictly en- forced in ttris State by McAu1iiffe and his men than in any State in the northern part of the country.
 It is believed that the story printed in a Sunday paper to the effect that McAuliffe is to be removed was start ed by political enemies of Collector Walsh who are attempting to hit him through McAuiffe.
 Attention was called to the fact that McAJ1liffe was a resident and voter in Hartford and not in New Haven as the article stated and that he has not been involved in any political fight in either city.

CABRERA SPRUNG TRAP
 UPON HIS ENEMIES

Washington, April 1S-Private ad- vices received here picture the situa- ton in GuatemalaL City as a trap that had been sprung by President Estra- da Cabrera on his enemies rather than a rebel victory. It was ex- plained that the failure of the presi- dent to use the army to prevent the entry of the rebels into the capital was a strategem employed to give him the upper hand with a minimum ot bloodshed.
 Strong government forces were sta tioned at LaPalma, a suburb where President Cabrera is located, and at other points from where operations can be directed that will effectually close all the exits from the city, these reports said. After the rebels had Hooked into the city Cabrera was said to have announced to them the capi tai would remain under siege until the insurgents sued for terms. The water supply would be cut off, food shipments would be stopped and only women, children and other non-con- batants would be permitted to pass the line of siege, the message added in order to hasten a comparatively b1oodleSS victory.

SINGER co. ENIPLOYES
 CONFER ON DEMANDS

The employees of the Singer Man ufacturing company had conferences with Superintendent Flames yester- day in reference to their demands for increased pay and were inf rmed by Mr Flames that on account of con- ditions in Europe where their sales had fallen off and their factori4s taken over by the governments in Russia and Germany it was impossible for the Singer company to grant their demands at this time
 MT. Flames said however that he recognized the justice of the mems demands for more money on account of the increasing cost of living and the company had decided, in view of that fact, to allow the men to work for 50 hours a week instead of A as at present in order that they might make more money. It was even sug- gested that the men might get time and a half for the extra six hours. The men took the proposition un- der consideration after a number had expressed themselves as opposed tc the increased hours and are now talk ing a vote to determine whether they will work fifty hours or not It is understood that so far a big major ity are opposed to working more than A hours as they believe that it is l simply the entering wedge of a move l ment to increase the hours of labor | in all the shops of the city.

INCIDENT NOW THOUGHT ENDED

Paris, April 15-A1though the diplomatic incident regarding the occupation of Frankfort by French forces is considered here to have been closed, it is pointed out that the main question under which the dis pute arose, the carrying out of the treaty of Versailles, remains open in it's entirety. Forecasts are that it will come up at the San Reno con ference.
 The execution of the reparations clauses of the treaty, as well as of the other military clauses will be dis cussed by the confereees, and they will be asked by France, it was indi- cated today, to make a definite de- c1aration of the policy of the Allies on these points. In line with Premier Millerand's declarations France will show a willingness to facilitate Ger many's economic revival by commer. cial agreements between the two countries, it is stated, but will resist
 any tendency to revise the treaty. for 1 Germany's benefit at the expense of
 the separations clauses alone.

control of traffic arteries leading into New York.
 While the strikers, who yesterday crippled suburban traffic in New Jer- sey, succeeded this morning in incon- veniencing 10000 more commuters by shutting down the three divisions of the Staten Island Rapid Transit O. and drawing out more firen1en on the Long Island railroad, the other roads. ra1lying from the surprise of the sud den walkout, reported greater success in operating freight and passenger service.
 Accepting the aid of citizens and working hand in hand with repre- septatives of the "big four" the roads were able to move an fncreas- ing amount of food into the city, while specials operated by volunteer crews began arriving from suburban points in New Jersey. When sim liar tactics were adopted on Sta&en Island, however, the first car of the first train jumped the track while moving slowly and blocked the line

When completed the restaurant is inspected by Inspector Dunbar and if everything meets with the require ments a card is issued the proprietor which he brings to the Sanitary di- vision and receives his license to do business. This card is renewable every January and if the restaurant is sold the new owner must procure a duplicate.
 Monthly inspections are made of all the restaurants and the reports tabu- lated in an index system in the depart ment. If changes are ordered re- ports on whether they are made promptly or not are also filed. Re- inspections occur wherever changes are ordered.
 There were on March 19, 149 res- tauranis in Bridgeport, all of them being visited at least once a month. Two years ago over s10,O00 was ex- pended by various restaurant proprie- tors in repair work and alterations,
 the yealy average being around this sum. One restaurant alone expended
 S700 for necessary changes ordered by the sanitary division.
