Fight Boil Weevils Now

Boil weevils have been found at
work on the cotton in several differ
ent places in this county. This
seems to Indicate that there will be
a general infestation of cotton fields
throughout the county in a short
while. Now is. the time to fight the
weevils before they get too numer-
Gus.
Pick up all fallen squares at least
once aweek and burn them. Give the
cotton frequent shallow civilizations.
A few days delay in picking up
squares will give the weevils long
lead, thus making the job worse and
materially reducing the yield of cot
ton.
Any one who expects to dust with
calcium arsenate should be getting
the material and machines ready so
that busting can start as soon as
there is as much as ten per cent of
infestation.
Any one desiring further instruc-
tions about poisoning weevils should
see the county agent.

place in labor disputes. The use of
the injunction in a democratic. nation
to restrain the aspirations lof the
working people for an extension Of
the horizon of democracy and. for the
enlargement Of" their opportunities is
a strange contradiction. The ,tnjunc-
ton, like so much Of the remainder Of

In answer'to the question: SHOULD
trade unions be Incorporated, to sue
and be sued?" the unionists answer
in part: '"Trade unions are not formed
for the accumulation of property. nor
for the making Of profits. Labor
power is the Inherent power Of human
beings to produce commodities for
the sustenance of life. To suggest that
this power and these qualities Of the
human race should be incorporated
by law is to suggest a desperation on

curbed for the. very safety Of society,""

:poration should the power Of injunc-

workers are asked to barter one evil

whether they prefer being struck on

poses all injustice. The character and

Old Line Politicians.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. April a.
The National Non-partisan Political
campaign which the Ameri lean Fed.
Grafton Of Labor has set afoot is max
ing much greater progress than the
leaders Of the major political parties
are willing to recognize. While public
attention is focused upon the cam
paign activities Of Republican and
Democratic candidates for the presi-
dency, the labor leaders are quietly
but effectively organizing and getting
word to workers all over the country
that this is the year for them to make
their force felt in the elections.
One Of the difficulties which had
been counted upon by the politicians
to nullify to a considerable extent the
effectiveness Of the non-partisan cam
paign was division within the ranks Of
labor. The American Federation OF
Labor would have all it could do. 1t

But what has happened? The men,
bers of the brotherhoods and other
organizations are comforting woth the
leaders of the American Federation of
Labor. It is being recognized, in
homely phrase. that If they will not
hang together, they will have to hang

SEC'Y' WILSON

Union Coal Miner Cabinet Officer
Sees Danger in Working
Long Hours.

WASHINGTON, April 22.-Secre-
tary of Labor Wilson has stopped
overtime in his department, except in
emergency cases. This order Is in
contrast to those who attract public
attention by their claims that gov
ernment employees are idlers.
1T has been brought to my at
tention that the pressure Of work in
some Of the bureaus has resulted IN
almost daily overtime work being re-
quired Of some of the employees. OBJ
servation Of the work of the depart
ment has convinced me that while
temporary emergencies may be met
by working overtime, the continual
ton of such overtime over prolonged
periods brings about a. nervous
strain that creates fatigue and de-
stroys morale, to the end that it de-
creases rather than increases eff
cheney.
1T is therefore directed that NO
civil service employees shall be re-
CURED or permitted to work over
time except in cases Of emergency,
In which event the emergency and
the need to work overtime to over
come it shall be reported to the Sec
retary for his approval. All persons
in director positions shall be notified
accordingly"
