War on the Boil Weevil.

Mr.. Ira Williams, boil weevil ex-
pert of the Georgia State Department
of Entomology, has recently made
some interesting statements on the
boil weevil situation which needs to
be promulgated widely. His opinion
that we will see much larger cotton
crop next year is merely opinion,
and while we believe too, that next
years crop will be larger, it is only a
belief in either case.
AS a matter of fact, however, his
observations on how the weevil can
be held down are different and have
more value than his and our belief
that the crop next year will be
larger.
In some sections of Southwest
Georgia this year, Mr.. Williams says,
the cotton crop is actually larger than
it was the year before. And in all
such sections it has been shown that
the farmers were active last winter
in Cleaning up" They did not leave,
so many places for the weevil to hi7
bernate. Flowing up fields where cot-
ton was grown was done, of course,
but that was not enough. The weeviE
finds his finest winter quarters UNDER
stumps, logs and dead trees. These
places were cleaned out and the ref
suit was that there were far fewer;
weevils in those sections this year
than last, although the weather con-
ditions this year were more favor
able for the weevil than they have
been in years.
In addition to the good one may
do in destroying the winter resorts of
the boil weevil, one could add greatly
to the fertility of ones soil by put
ting litter from woods on the soil:
Millions of dollars worth of fertiliz-.
ing and humus-making stuff is vast
ed every year in the South by fail
ure to use pine needles, leaves and
other masses of vegetable matter left
in woods and places to rot. 1t should
be made to rot in the fields, where
clean cultivation has robbed the soil
of an element that is essential to fer
tility.
A cleanup campaign is needed on
the farms before winter comes on.
It will show its value in next years.

NEW YORK. Nov. 4.-There was
active trading in the cotton contract
market directly after the opening this

sharp selling movement following
Liverpools sharp break and the an

tional Ginners' Association. q Southern

Whenever its reports are due there
are various rUmors several days in

Of the crop ginned to the close Of
October as 6.54l 900 bales. with the

COLONEL FRED ELLIS.

There are lot of red blooded men
in Kansas who will read of the tragic
death of Col. Fred Ellis and will lay
aside the paper and with closed eyes
will vision a fine looking. clean cut
fellow full of the joy of living. always
capable and willing to be of service
and they will reach out again for his
warm, hearty handclasp. They will
say again and again, why must It
have been Fred?"
Colonel Ellis army life began rs
a boy in the Spanish-American war.
The following years he was travel
ing salesman with his home at Ne
Pherson. In the World war he went
overseas as captain OF the National
Guard company of his home town.
He came home a major and only n
few days ago he was made colonel Of
the Fourth regiment. Since the war
he has been in the retail shoe business
in Mcpherson.
The army record of Colonel Ellis
is an open book. The history of the
Kansas National Guard will tell the
story. HIS business life was honor
able and successful. There are a lot
OF red blooded men in Kansas who
will like to think of him as "a clean.
friendly big hearted male man." and
they will be missing him thru the
years.

Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer,

do you know" said a young woman
the other day, that few fates more
tragic can befall a girl than to be the
unattractive daughter of an attractive
mother?
Il know, for that is my unhappy lot
in life. In her girlhood my mother
was a beauty and a belle, with scores
of suitors signing at her feet. and she
still has that mysterious allure that
makes every man in room in which
she is graviate towards her as ir-
res stibly as the needle turns to the
pole.
But I am big. and strong, and
husky. without a vestige of beauty, or
sex charm, and no man ever gives a
second look at me except to subcon-
sciousiy register a vow to sidestep me,
if it is possible.
Il am twenty-seven years old, and
in all that time I have never had a
voluntary beau. 1 have never danced
with a man who was not coerced into
dinner without seeing on my partners
face an expression of despair. tenn

duty like a man and a Christian.
so far as 1 am concerned, the fact
that l am not a social success, and
that no man wants to marry me, is a
matter of no moment whatever

consider that had escaped one of the
greatest earthly infections if 1 knew 1

one. The jelly-bean youths, whose
bra ms are in their feet, and whose
idea of entertaining a woman is to
hand out a line of canned jolly that
was stale when Eve was a flapper,
bore me just as much as 1 can pos
sibiy bore them. I have no yearning
whatever for marriage. The business
life attracts me far more than the
domestic life.

She led her n1ystified husband 10
a nook from where they could hear
the pair on the piazza.
! 1T isn't fair to spy on them" she
whispered. but just this once-I want
you to see what has happened to your
little puff of thistledown."
Molly and Bradley were seated in
the wide swing. with the moonlight
streaming down on them. Bradley
was speaking.
"I'n be leaving in a week." he said.
"Oh, Molly, I long to get back--to be
at my work. But there's something

Mrs. Hancock drew her husband
away from the hiding place.
