Doctors Schamberg, Kolmer and

the drug arsphenamine, a substitute
for salyarsan, when the latter could
no longer be had from Germany,
have donated to the laboratories the

its sale during the war. In report
ing this fact the Scientific American
remarks:
"Once more American science has
won q chemical victory and the do

needed, was sold for one-third less

Columbian WOodmen Put on
Good Show

Mr.. W. G. Pavitt, lecturer for
the Columbian Woodman was
here Friday Night of last week
and put on a show that has been
very highly complimented by
many who attended. One man
called it a dollar and half show
and several others compared it
favorably with the chautauqua
numbers which has SO recently
visited the Citp.
Of course the Columbian
Woman are using this as an ad-
yertisiRg campaign and we think
a good one. The lectures, pic
lures and songs are so selected
and arranged that they lead
naturally to the subject to be
advertised and send home the
truths insuch way as to be both
and convincing. Mr..
Payitt is good in both song and
impersonation as well as in Civ
ing his Illustrated lectures.
He was accompanied here by
Mr.. W. R. Conrad, who with
Mr.. w. II. Hit, the advance
man, will remain here a few days
and will explain to all who de-
sire the workings of the Colum-
bian Woodmen. They will be
assisted by Mr.. B. K. Foster.

OkOlona Assured Baseball Dur
ing Summer Months

At a meeting of representa-
tives of Amory, Tupelo, West
Point and Okolona held at
Okolona Monday, June 18th, the
Northeast Mississippi Amateur
Baseball Association was organic
ed, composed of the above named
teams. A schedule was adopted
whereby each team plays at
home three days each week and
three days away from home.
Games will be played in OkoIona
on Monday, Wednesday and Fri
day afternoons. The season will
open Monday afternoon; Amory
playing at Okolona.
QSite a nice amount has been
pledged for the support Of the
team, but not as much as the
deems sufficient to
the team during the
whole Of the season. Admission
will be charged to see the games,
but, this will not defray all ex-
and it is to be hoped
that everyone interested in see
ing Okolona win the flag con
tribute as much as is convenient
to help attain that end.

sTARLING MOST USEFUL BIRD
Investigations Made by Department OF
Agriculture Show Its Value to
the Farmer.

The startling has spread over all
the Eastern, states and is becoming
more numerous every year. To de-
-termine whether the. bird is useful
as a destroyer Of noxious insects, the
biologists of the Department of Ag-
riculture examined the stomachs Of
more than 1900 adult stariings and
about 300 nestlings. The adult birds
feed virtually all day and eat in
credible quantities of insect food.
The young starlings, which re-
main in the nest from 16 to 20
days after being hatched, are fed by
their parents at intervals Of three
to six minutes throughout the day
of IL hours and obtain more than
1900 meals before they leave the
nest.
During the first four Or five days
Their diet consists principally OF
caterpillars, the soft larvae Of
beetles, flies, etc., and Of spiders.
Later they feed on millipeds, grubs,
grasshoppers, crickets and beetles.
In the stomach Of one young star
ling the remains Of 26 cloyer-leaf
weevils were found. ~ Popular
