KATE RICHARDS o'HARE
Speaks Here Saturday

Through the efforts of some of
Salem's prominent business and
professional men, Kate Richards
O'Hare, world renowned lectur-
er, will speak at the armory next
Saturday evening at 5 o'clock.
Her lecture on "Crime and Grim
inals" is non-sectarian and non
political, and has brought forth
unstinted praise from the news
papers in practically every city
where it has been heard. No ad-
mission will be charged and ev-
eryone will be welcome.
In commenting upon this lee
ture, delivered in Miami, Fla, a
few weeks ago, the Miami Daily
Metropolis said:

Plane Owners
Violating Law
RecentlyMade

owners of aircraft inthis state
who are operating the same are do
ing so in direct violation of the
state law which became effective
May rs, last, requiring the regis
tration and licensing Of all air
craft.
Although this law, enacted by
the last legislature, became effec-
lively May rs. nearly a month ago,
no aviator has as yet applied for a
license to navigate the air lanes Of
this state, nor registered his air-
craft.
This fact was brought out today
by Secretary OF State Kozer who
is mailing application blanks to all
known owners of aircraft in the
state.
Kozer also directs attention to
the clause in the new law which
assesses fine of from $40 to 500
for failure to register the airplane
or any of the provisions Of the
bills.
The new law provides that every
owner of aircraft, shall. after he
becomes the owner thereof and be-
fore he operates or flies the same
over the lands or waters of this
state, file with the secretary of
state an application for the regis
tration Of his craft. A filing fee
of $40 must accompany the appli-
cation in return for which the sec
retary of state is to issue certifi-
cate of registration and number
plate which must be attached to
the plane and displayed at all
finest in a conspicuous position.
These licenses are renewable an
nually.

property owners, agents or occu-
pants of property within the cor
porate limits to cut and remove
grass, weeds, thistles and bushes
in the streets and alleys adjacent
to their premises between June Is
and June 25 of each year.
Chief of Police Christensen says
he is goingto see that this ordi-
nance is enforced this year. Dur
ing past years many property own
ers and occupants of property have
neglected to cut the grass and
weeds in their parkings and as a
result the city has been subjected
to many adverse remarks.

What Land Is Worth.

"The price of farm land is too
high and 1T has got to come down
before there is great deal of chang
ing" said Mr.. j. c. Wilborn yester-
day.
How do you know that the price
is too high?" asked the reporter
or course 1t is understood that
Mr.. Wilborn has bought and sold
more thousands of farm lands than
any other man In York county, and
values it should be Mr.. Wilborn.
The question of the reporter was
merely intended to draw him out.
well" he Replied, II have had a
number of cases recently in which
the owner of the land wanted to sell
and the would-be purchaser was
very anxious to buy; but somehow
just could not get them to gether- In
some cases the difference between
them was only cents or such mat
ter; but that was as close as they
could get.
But why do you say that land is
too high? the reported asked.
LAS n general rule-as near a
general rule as you can get at" re-
lplied Mr.. Wilborn, IAN acre of land
is worth bale Of cotton. If cotton
is worth 10 cents pound, land that
which will yield bale to the acre is
worth $50 and if cotton is worth 40
cents the same land is worth 5000"
How long would you say that it
would take to pay for a farm on that
basis?" the reported asked.
About five years." said Mr.. Will
born.
"Of course" continued Mr.. Will
born, I am not laying this down as
an infallible rule. There are num-
Der of qualifying circumstances that
enter into each peculiar case; but
the best ground guide have to go
by is that an acre of land is worth
bale of cotton and that is about all
iit is worth" ".-Yorkville Enquirer.

GIRLS OF WHICH TO BEWARE

Hands Out Some Words of Cau-

things he dislikes in girls. He admits
that he deals with objectionable
characteristics" but disarms the crit
icism that he fails to indicate posi-
tive virtues by saying that 1.-The nice
youth needs no qualities of the oppo-
site sex" The Widowed Physician"
sums up his ideas in a few warnings,
as follows. the Japan Advertiser
states:
Beware OF the girls who manicure
their nails to the shape of a claw. l
do not know why. but beware Of
them.
Beware Of girls who prefer to
dress in purple or scarlet colors.
Beware of girls who are heavily
scented.
Beware Of the girl who is too OBJ
viously modest and demure. She
doth protest too much.
Beware Of the girl with low, slop-
ing forehead, and dry, straight
course. jute-like hair. Any expert
enced magistrate will tell you that
this type OF woman frequently sum-
mons her husband for assault and
battery.
Beware Of the intensely religious
girl. She does not mean to be dan
serous, but the fact that she is so
devotional indicates that she possess
es an unbalanced temperament.
Beware Of the girl who sidles up
to you. or lays hands on you; or
comes so close to you as to lead you
readily to lay hands on her.
Specially beware of married wo-
men" of reputed responsibility,
whom you have formerly had every
reason to believe in and respect,
when these same women. by acts OBJ
vicus or guarded, show you that
they would not object to your being
more intimate with them than you
ought to be.
Beware OF the mothers who are
anxious as to the futures of their
daughters.
Beware OF the girl who drinks
wines freely; she will make poor
wife and a worse mother.
Beware Of the girl who dresses in
a slovenly artistic manner.

mends two types-the tomboy and

THE FESTIVAL OF
THE FIRE WALKERS

Walking barefooted through a
charcoal fire four feet deep and
more than thirty feet long cannot be
pleasant thing to do. Nevertheless,
il forms a part of the extraordinary
religious festival that annually takes
place in honor of Hindu goddess
at one of the temples in Singapore.
A loud tom-toming says Mrs. L.
f. Stockwell, who describes the cere-
mony in the Wide World Magazine,
announced the arrival Of the fire
walkers. There were about two hun
dred of them, the men in saffron
colored loin clothes, the women in
saffron colored robes. With blazing
eyes and loosened hair, they pressed
on, accompanied by the weird wall
ing of pipes. Some of the walkers
fought in their haste to enter the
flames, others hung back and had to
be urged forward by priests or rela-
tives. Some were professed ascetics,
perhaps with a withered arm held
aloft and with thousand silver nails
passed through their skin; others
were ordinary folk who had made a
VOW to propittiate the goddess in Or
der to secure the birth OF a son.
Most of them walked hurriedly
through the fire, holding q bunch
OF green leaves about their heads;
a few strolled along leisurely over
the glowing charcoals. Some carried
in their arms small children who
cried Justify from the terrific heat;
and one or two boys and girls about
eight years old went through the or
deal alone. A tragic figure was a
young girl with unbound hair and
terrified eyes, who, unable to face
the fire alone. was persistently push
ed forward by an old woman at her
back. Those who have passed through
the fire declare that they feel nc
pain at the time. They admit to

BOIL WEEVIL DAMAGE
Summer Weather Conditions Not
Present Infestation, Govern Loss

Clemson College, May 31-"Boll
weevils are in my cotton in great
numbers. Would you advise me to
plow up the cotton and plant some
other crop?" This q question being
asked by hundreds Of South Carolina
farmers in the infested counties of
the state. says Prof. A. E. Conradi,
chief OF the entomology division, who
says that advice from any source con-
cerning this matter is not dependable
for there is no man who can tell in
advance whether or IL not il would
be WISE to plow up cotton and plant
the crops on account of boil weevil
infestation.
The cotton boil weevil is an insect
whose activities depend on weather
conditions. If the weather in June
and July Is comparatively warm and
dry. we may expect to make a cotton
crop so far as the weevil is concerned.
In other words, abundance of weevils
at this season of the year Is no in
dlcation Of the loss that may be ex-
pected, for the reason that so far
the weevil has had every advantage
and the cotton every disadvantage.
On the other hand, If June and July
are comparatively wet, We may ex-
pect severe loss from the boil weevil
1t must be remembered that the aver
age South Carolina weather condi-
tions. especially in the southern half
OF the state. are very favorable to
weevil development.
During 1920 experiments in pos
oning the boil weevil in Georgia, Ala
bama and Louisiana showed gain,
notwithstanding the adverse wealth
er conditions. Experimental work in
South Carolina showed no gain, but
1t must be remembered that the
weather conditions were decidedly
adverse to poisoning.
Until poisoning has reached more
certain and fool proof" stage. cot
ton growing under boil weevil con-
ditions will continue to be a gamble.
sound policy therefore. demands
that every farmer grow his food and
feed and raise cotton only as a sur
plus cash crop.
Every cotton farmer in the infested
territory should read most carefully
circular 1872 Of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, which is a
very brief and definite discussion Of
the subject OF poisoning the weevil.
