U. S. FLAG OVER BERLIN.
First Time Snice American Declara-
tiOn Of War.

Berlin, July 4.-American flags
flew over Berlin today for the first
time since the American declaration
Of war, but the American mission and
the German foreign Office have not
as yet been formally notified that
congress had concluded peace. The
newspapers, in the absence of the text
of the peace resolution, confne their
comment to the hope that there will
be a speedy resumption Of peace
time commercial relations.
German official circles are awaiting
the text and developments. Mean
while opinion in the German foreign
Office is unoficially summed up as
follows:
"An international situation is end
ed, but we do not know what to ex-
pect or what the peace conditions
will be-whether the United States
will subscribe to the Versailles treaty
in toto or at all. We are awaiting to
be officially appraised of the terms OF
the compromise resolutions and what
the next move will be-"
Some of the newspapers express
the hope that the United States will
Immediately take a hand in having
the penalties lifted and the Upper
Silesia question decided. Others view
the situation as "a formal state OF
peace. still without meaning"

FORMER PRESIDENT
new, CHIEF JUSTICE
TAFT TO HEAD THE COUNTRY'S
HIGHEST COURT.
Four Negative Votes.
BOrah, johnson, La Toilette and Wat
son Object Without Ac-
complishing Delay.
Four Negative Votes.

Washington, June 30.-Former
President William Howard Taft was
nominated late today by the President
to be Chief Justice of the United
States and his nomination was con-
frmed by the senate in executive
session.
The nomination was not confirmed
without opposition, however, and a
roll call was demanded. The op-
position was understood to have
been voiced by Senator Borah, Ida
ho, Johnson, California and La Fol
lette, Wisconsin, all Republicans,
who were said to have criticised Mr.
Taft's record and his nomination.
On the roll call, however, only
four votes were cast against the
nomination. These were by Senators
Borah, Johnson and La Toilette and
Senator Watson, Democrat, Of Geor-
gia.
The final vote was 60 to 4. An
agreement was reached not to make
a roll call
The senate's doors were closed for
discussion of the nomination after
suggestions that Mr.. Taft be confirm
ed in open executive session because
he, as a former president, had been
rejected by opponents. Senators Bo-
rah and Johnson led the fight on the
floor in opposition to Mr.. Taft, and
he was defended by about a dozen
senators, including Knox, PennsylVa-
MIA; Kellog, of Minnesota; and Will
lis, of Ohio, Republicans, and Under
wood, of Alabama, Democrat minor
ity leader; Smith, of California, Over
man, of North Carolina, and Brouss-
ard, of Louisiana, Democrats.

around one end about two inches
wide. Get 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 a
small amount is required for each
plant and with the above amount Of
the mixture scientifically applied it
should cover 20 acres. Some, how
ever, apply little thicker than need
ed and it may not cover more than
10 acres. A few drops to each plant
is just as effective as a gallon.
Only one application is needed, pro-
vided two sunshiny days follow. With
this solution in use, all the squares
picked up, the cotton plant pushed
just as fast as possible, the farmer
should have 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 point. He has
found by the two years of special ex-
perimental 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
the saccharine to make the mixture
sweeter than ordinary syrup, and
more attractive to the weevils. The
ice cream powders are added to give
the mixture "body," makes it foamy
and mucillagenous, therefore hard to
wash wash off by rain and sticking
longer on the plant, while it requires
less agitation. Any kind of syrup,
molasses, or any like sweetening, will
do

Dublin, Ca, June 2S.-A formula
for poison that will kill the boil wee
will and keep a 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 Dex-
ter, Laurens county, who has been
growing cotton in Laurens fer the
last three years in spite Of the boil
weevil. Last yea: he made 1?9 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. Il laugh
every time 1 think about him. 1 can
rid any field of boil weevils for 25
cents per acre, given just two sue
cessive days of sunshine"
He was asked for an explanation,
and when he replied that he had
worked out a 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, ]. B. Trye, who was present:
Take molasses, 2 gallons; saccha-
rine, 1 ounce; ice cream powder, 2
packages; calcium arsenate, 10
pounds; water, 8 gallons. Mix the
ice cream powder and the saccharine
both in a little water before adding to
the other ingredients. When you
have it all mixed together we'll, be
sure it is kept agitated that the pois-
on does not settle to the bottom.

BRIDEGROOM HANDICAPPED.
Conductor Was to Release Husband,
But Key Was Broken Off.

Columbia, June 30.-Love did not
laugh at locksmiths here today when
two Augusta people, married in Au-
gusta' this morning, were conducted
to a locksmith by Capt. F. B. Fish
burn, well-known checker player and
Southern railway conductor, to have a
pair of handouts removed from the
bridegroom's wrists. The young hus-
band, William Leroy Britton, told a
most unusual story, his statements
being indorsed by his bride, and Capt
Fishburn.
Mr.. Britton and Miss Clarice Wise
were married at St. John Method
ist church in Augusta this morning.
The wedding party had just left the
church when a crowd of young men
took a hand in the proceedings. Mrs.
Britton says that these young men all
close friends of her husband were
headed by William Skeleton, Daniel
Mack Berry, Carl Brinson, Joe Long
and Herbert Elliott. AS the men
grasped the hands of the bridegroom
to congratulate him he found when
they had finished that his hands were
of not much use to him for they were
firmly held in "honest-to-goodness'
handouts. The newlyweds were put
aboard the Pullman car with Mr.
Britton still handcuffed. The Pull
man conductor, however, had been
given the key with instructions to un-
lock the "bracelets" when the train
was we'll on it#way to Columbia. This
he attempted to do but the key broke
in the lock and Mr.. Britton remained
prisoner on his honeymoon. Then
the dining car conductor and Capt
Fishburn entered the game. The din
ing car conductor conducted the en-
barrassed bridegroom to the kitchen
of the dining car where strong arm
cook used a clever to cut the chain
that held the handouts together but
he could not get them. Capt. Fish
burns automobile met the train and
he hurried Mr.. and Mrs. Britton
away from the station in quick time,
taking the bride to a hotel and the
BRIDEGROOM to a locksmith, where
after assurances were given the ex-
pert on handouts and locks generally
that there was no reason why he
should not free the captive key was
was quickly made and the handouts
unlocked.
Mr.. and Mrs. Britton spent the day
here and will leave early tomorrow
morning for Hendersonville to spend
two weeks, after which they will re-
turn to Augusta.
Mr.. Britton kept the handcuffs Tor
a souvenir of the first eighty miles OF
his honeymoon. Mr.. and Mrs. Brit
ton took the episode in the best of
spirits and laughed heartily when 1t
was found that the locksmith could
save the day.

PRESIDENT SIGNS
PEACE RESOLUTION
HARDING AFFIXES SIGNATURE
WHILE RESTING.
War Is At End.
FOrmalities of Declaration Completed
BY Deposit Of Document in Ar
chieves of State Department.

Rariden, N. j., July 2.-The reso-
luton of congress declaring war with
Germany and Austria-Hungary at an
end was signed here late today by
President Harding.
So there might be no unnecessary
delayin consummation of lifelong de-
ferred state of peace, the resolution
was brought here by special messen-
ger from Washington where it had
been given final congressional ap-
preval yesterday. The messenger left
for the capital again tonight to COM
plete the formalities of the declara-
tion by depositing the document in
the archieves of the state depart
ment.
There was little of the dramatic in
the actual ceremony of giving presi-
Dental approval to the measure. Re-
turning here from a luncheon and
golf game at the Somerville Hill
county club the president found the
White House messenger, E. W. Smith
ers, waiting for him on the veranda
of the Frelinghuysen house.
Mr.. Harding Immediately put on his
nose glasses and, sitting in porch
swing, examined the official copy of
the resolution minutely. The signing
took place at a small mahogany table
in the adjacent living room in the
center of distinguished group, which
included the president, host and host
ess, Speaker Gillett of the house of
representatives Senator Kellogg, of
Minnesota, a member of the senate
foreign relations committee, Senator
Hale, of Maine, and other members of
the weekend party.
As the presidents pen scratched out
the final letters of his name, one OF
the group remarked: "Well, that's
what, Mr.. President"
Eyes, that's it," replied Mr.. Hard
ing. with a broad smile and the others
responded with a quick burst of hand
clapping as if the historic significance
of the occasion had been borne in
upon them.
No formal statement was made DN
the president in connection with the
affixing of his signature, and the
consummation of the first formal step
in the announced peace programme
Of the administration. With other
papers of a routine charcter
brought here for his attention, the
president returned the peace resolu-
ton as soon as it had been signed and
then prepared to resume his inter-
rupted holiday by getting into golf
clothes for another workout on the
links.
In signing the resolution the presl-
ident used a pen sent him for TINS
purpose by Representative Porter OF
PENNSYLVANIA, chairman OF the mousse
foreign affairs committee and joint
author of the measure. The pen Will
be returned to Mr.. Porter as a SOU
venir.
