LABOR FOR WHEAT HARVEST

Little Rock, June 28-The Federal
State Employment Bureau, operated
as part of the State Bureaup of
Labor and Statistics, in the state cap
itol at Little Rock, has, during the
past three weeks, sent over 600 white
men to the wheat harvest in Oklaho-
ma and Kansas No colored labor
was sent, as no provision could be
made to care for the colored help. The
department received splendid cooper
alton and help from many sources ,
particularly from Secretary Melton
of the Texarkanna Chamber of Com
merce and secretary Hurst of the
Newport Board of Trade. The United
States Employment service issued
daily bulletins, giving information as
to the needs of the wheat belt, and
through tn combined service of the
state labor departments, and the fed
eral service, congestion of labor was
was prevented and the movement was
directed where most needed While
the peak peak of the demand has been
reached, there are sections in which
harvest labor is still needed. Before
going to the wheat harvest however
application should be made to the
state labor department for informal
ion. The service of the Federal State
Employment Service is free to emplo-
yer and those seeking work; all kinds
of labor is handled. The employment
bureau is located in room 129A, State
Capitol, Little Rock, and is in charge
of the deputy commissioner, E. l. Nc
Kinley

farmer should have a full crop of
cotton made by August, when the
migratory weevils begin to swarm,
and when it is useless to fight any
longer. If the crop is made by that
time, however, you are safe.
In explaining his formula, DR.. Tay-
lor made the following points; He
has found by two years of special
experimental work that the weevils
are attracted by a sweet mixture, and
easily fall prey to poisoned sweets.
Syrup, calcium arsenate, and water
will kill the weevils, but he adds the
saccharine to make the mixture sweet
er than ordinary syrup, and more at
tractive to the weevil. The ice cream
powders are added to give the mix
ture "body," makes it foamy and
mucilagenous, therefore hard to wash
off by rain, and sticking longer on the
plant, while it requires less agitation.
Any kind of syrup, corn syrup, mo-
lasses, or any like sweetening will do.

P. & N. W. MAY
RUN TRAIN TO
MURFREESBORO
If Fifteen Miles of Track Can
Be Leased For One Year.
Daily Service Train Will BE
Run From Prescott to Muir
freesbOrO.

1t is probable that Prescott will
have daily train service with Muir
freesboro The NJ d. & G. railroad
is insolvent and advertised to be sold.
There is distance of fifteen miles
from Toxic to Murfreesboro. The
M. D. & G. crosses the Prescott &
Northwestern at Toxic, and if it is
possible to secure a years lease on
this connecting mileage of the M. D.
& G. the Prescott & Northwestern
will operate their trains through to
Murfreesboro.
On account of the suspension of
operation of the M. D. & G., the road
is in very bad condition. 1t is stated
that an expenditure of $4,000 will
be required to place the line in good
condition. The Prescott & North
western is now paying to the M. D.
& G. rental of $45000 per month
for the privilege of operating their
log train over this stretch of road.
They are willing to expend SIS, 100000
in repairs if lease can be secured
for one year. This matter is in the
hands of the court, and it may be
that the lease can be granted. The
matter is being heard today at Tex
arkana.
If this train can be operated to
Murfreesboro, Prescott will have
direct connection with the largest
peach orchard in the world, the only
diamond mine in North America, be-
sides one of the richest truck growing
sections to be found anywhere, and
largeareas of virgin timber, pine and
several kinds of hardwood.

DE VALERA VOICES
DESIRE FOR PEACE
"lthholds Reply to Proposal of
Lloyd George-Irish Aepubli-
can Leader COnfers With Irish
Minority Before Answering

Dublin, June 28.-Eamonn De Va
lera, the Irish republican leader. is
not yet ready to give a definite an
sWer to Premier Lloyd Georges let
Ter inviting him to a conference for
an Irish settlement. He has briefly
replied to the premier, however, ex-
pressing the earnest desire for a
lasting peace, but deems unity of Ire
land essential to that end.
The Irish Bulletin, organ of the
Daily Eireann, in a special issued,
publishes Mr.. DeValera's reply to the
British prime minister. 1t follows:
Il am consulting with such of the
principal representatives of our ma
tions as are available. We most earn
estly desire to help in bringing about
a lasting peace between the peoples
of the two islands, but see no avenue
by which it can be reached if you deny
Ireland essential unity.
Before replying more fully to your
letter | am seeking conference with
certain representatives of the politi-
cal minority in this country"
Belfast, June 28.-Sir James Craig,
the Ulster premier, announced today
that the Ulster cabinet had accepted
the invitation of Mr.. Lloyd George,
the prime minister, for the proposed
conference between representatives of
Northern and Southern Ireland and
the British premier.
The cabinets decision was reached
at meeting held this morning.
Meanwhile DeValera, the republicHn
leader, is in Dublin still consulting
with his colleagues regarding the in
vitation to meet the representatives
of Ulster and of the British govern
ment in London, 1t is understood
here that he has paid visit to Mount
Joy prison to see Arthur Griffith,
founder of the Sim Fein, who is un-
der confinement there.
Sir James will be accompanied by
all the ministers of the Ulster cabinet
with the exception of Sir Dawson

.SOLONS READY TO
CONCLUDE PEACE
Compromise of Knox-Porter Re-
solutions Effected - Demo-
cratic COnferees Refuse to
Sign Report.

Washington, June 28.-Establish-
ment of peace by congressional reso-
luton neared its final stage today
when Senate and House Republican
onferees agreed upon a compromise
resolution which they hope to have
in President Harding's hands late this
week.
The compromise embodies the
House plan of declaring the state of
war with Germany and Austria at an
end and adds the Senate provisions
reserving American property and 9TH
er rights.
The Democratic conferees, Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska and Repre-
sentative Flood of Virginia, called in
for the final conference today after
the Republicans had previously ar
ranged their compromise resolution,
refused to sign the report, and said
that with other Democratic colleagues
they would oppose the Republican
plan to the end. Overwhelming Re-
publican majorities in both Senate
and House, however, were said to
leave no doubt of adoption of the con-
ference draft
Action on the compromise resolu-
tion tomorrow is planned in the House
and finally in the Senate Thursday.
The conference report was presented
to both bodies late today. Democratic
leaders on both sides said that the
final discussion would be protracted
and the Republicans said they hoped
to have the peace measure sent to
the White House by Friday, in expec-
tation of it's signature by the presi-
dent before the Fourth of July.
Satisfaction over the compromise
was expressed by both Senate and
House Republican leaders. Chairman
Porter of the House foreign affairs
committee was pleased that his plan
for declaring the war at an end had
been accepted instead of the Knox
resolution repeating the war declara-
tions. Senator Knox, however, gave
out statement declaring that both
plans accomplished the same result.
"Both the Senate and House for
mulas," Senator Knox said, "effect
the repeal (of the war declaration)
desired"
The Senate conferees in making
concessions gave away nothing of
substance in their instructions, he
said, adding that resolution of Con-
end necessarily repeals the prior
(war) resolution"

FOR
WEEVIL KILLING
Laurens County, Georgia, Farm
er Keeps His Plants Cleared
of the Pest Until August
One Application Needed.

Dublin, Ga, June PA formula
for poison that will kill the boil weevil
and keep field clear of the pest until
August, when the migratory weevils
are in action, is being used this year
by DR.. w. B. Taylor of Dexter, Lau-
rens county, who has been growing
cotton in Laurens for the last three
years in spite of the boil weevil. Last
year he made 139 bales on $50 acres,
in spite of the weevil, wet weather
and other hindrances.
Doctor Taylor lives about fourteen
miles from Dublin, and has become
the recognized boil weevil expert of
the county. Saturday a friend in
Dublin asked him about the weevils
on his farm.
"Why, the boil weevil is a joke,
with me-" he replied. 81 laugh every
time | think about him. l can rid
any field of boil weevils for 25 cents
per acre, given just two successive
days of sunshine"
He was asked for an explanation,
and when he replied that he had
worked out formula for poisoning
the weevil, and was using it, was
asked for that formula.
Here it is, just as he gave it, and
it has the endorsement of the county
demonstration agent of Laurens
county, J. B. Tyre, who was present.:
Take molasses, 2 gallns; saccha-
rine, l ounce; ice cream powder,
packages; calcium arsenate, 10
pounds; water, 8 gallons. Mix the
ice cream powder and the saccharine
both in little water before adding
to the other ingredients. When you
have it all mixed together well, be
sure it. is kept agitated that the poi
son does not settle to the bottom.
Make a mop by taking small
stick, and tying a roll of cheesecloth
around one end about two inches
wide. Gen an old tin can, fill it with
the solution, keep it stirred, and walk
down the row and put few drops of
the solution on the under side of the
leaves near the bud of the plant. Be
sure the mixture is well stirred while
putting it on. Only small amount
is required for eacn plaht, and with
the above amount of the mixture
scientifically applied it should cover
20 acres. Some, however, apply a
little thicker than needed and it may
not cover more than ten acres. A
few drops to each plant is just as
effective as a gallon.
Only one application is needed,
provided two sunshiny days follow.
With this solution in use, all the
squares picked up, the cotton plant
pushed just as fast as possible, the

Crude Operations
Performed By The
Indian Doctors"

New York, April '1S.-Prehistoric
Indians Of South America had crude
medicine men who removed spttnters
of arrow-heads and stone bludgeons
from wounded warriors by cutting
through the skull with knives Of stone
or obsidian and other simple instru-
ments wrought from copper and
bronze. Sometimes the patient lived;
frequently. he went to the happy hunt

These uncomfortable treatments Of
serious casualties from tribal skirm-
ishes still continue in rcmote areas of
Bolivia. Evidence of this has been
gathered by field workers from the
American Museum of Natural History.
Of nearly 1900 skulls collected in
South America by the late DR.. Adolph
museum. about five per cent has been
operated upon. To surgeons the
practice us known as trephining. 1t
consists of removing a disk or button
of bone from the skull with a saw
called a trephine. .
Complex fracture of the skull with
depression of the bony plates must
have been common occurrences dur
ing the ancient tribal wars when clubs
headed with stone and copper along
with sings. the "Bola"- and the
''1liui" were offensive weapons, said
the reports of the museums investi-
gators.
A natural procedure. they opined,
with victims who survived skull frac-
lures must have been attempts to re-
move the %splinters of bone that
pricked the BRAIN, or to cut out frag-
ments pressing upon IT.

and made incisions into the injured
skulls of the sufferers, frequently
covering the aperture with gourd.
During the operation they scrape
around the wound with q. chisel.
Modern anaesthetics are unknown
to the medicine men. They put their

employed for healing purposes, and Is
commonly applied to wounds. bruises
