M0desty VS.. Chivalry

The following, which appeared
recently ir the Shreveport Times
from the pen Of one of the oldest
and most respected citizens of our
parish, is full worthy of careful
perusal as it expresses sentiments
that are felt by mlnv, and the
pendulum will soon bring them
back into their own again, Deus
gratios!
Editor, The Times:
l noticed in The Times letter from
correspondent at Pleasant Hill. also
one from Natchitoches, respecting chiv-
airy as applied to woman of today.
To the correspondent at Pleasant
Hill, say "Amen." It is all right for
little girls to wear short dresses and
little boys to wear knee trousers, but
the little boy as soon as he is older
wants pants like his father.
l think ''modesty," as a subject,
would be, the better. have seen mod
esty shocked by the short, tight dress
some girls wear today.
The sty lie among young men TODAY is
TO dress from head to foot, neatly. |
while the style of the young lady is to
1ndress, fine. have been a boy once
and know that the modesty or i'm
nodesty of the girls of community
las much to do with the shaping of |
he morals of the boys with whom they
associate.
When / was young l always pre-
erred the modest, intelligent girl that
:ould and would talk on subjects
worthwhile and Of some Importance.
A modest, God-loving, fearing and
erving woman is the noblest work of
1od. A helpmate for man. We have
!uties one toward the other and in
luence one over the other and God that
reated US does hold US responsible for
ur influence whether good or evil.
Give me the intelligent, highminded,
modest woman. Neither chivalry nor
nodesty is dead. We may die to them,
+ for lack of them, but the fine spirit
+ modesty will never die.
There are plenty of worthless men
4 the world but they will admire the
Modest woman every time.
And last but not least, men should
g gentlemanly gentlemen.

AVOID MISTAKES IN
POISONING BOIL WEEvll
Weevils Can Be Poisoned With
Profit.

The United States Department OF
Agriculture, through it's boil weevil
experts, Profs. B. R. Coad and T. P,
Cassidy, have issued a statement, q
rart of which is entitled Where II
Will Pay You to Poison" This part
is as follows:
1t will pay to poison
II the weevils are really iniuring
your crop seriously, and
II your land is sufficiently fertile
to yield at least one-half bale per acre
with weevil injury eliminated, and
II your farming organization is such
that you feel assured that the poison
applications will be made at the right
time and in the right manner, and
II you are willing to spend the full
amount necessary to provide an ade-
quate supply Of busting machinery and
poison.
The general gains from weevil poi.
soning under average, fairly favorable
conditions seem to be from 200 to 400
pounds Of seed cotton per acre, but,
owing to variations in degree of wee.
vii injury it is not safe to expect much
more than the lower figure.
Consequently, you should not poi.
son II the cost Of the calcium arse.
nate, the cost of labor to apply It
and the depreciation on the dustins
machines will total more per acre
than the current value of 100 pounds
Of seed cotton.
Hand guns should be figured as de.
preeiating 100 per cent in season and
the larger machines about 25 per cent,
Do It Right Or Not At Al
Many valuable lessons have been
gained from the recent expension Of
weevil poisoning. It has
again been shown that the boil wee.
vii can be poisoned with profit II CON
ditions are favorable and II proper
are used, but it has been EN-.
phasized anew that unfavorable condi.
lions and improper methods can lead
only to failure. A survey of the poi.
soning by farmers In 1920 shows that
IN unfortunately large proportion were
not properly informed as to the condi. |
ions under which they should poison
md the methods they should pursue. !
AZ result there were many unnecse
Iar1 failures.

The spirit of the South mani
tested and the sacrifice that it
made during the Civil war are to
be commemorated in gigantic
sculpture on the face of Stone
Mountain, a few miles from At
lanta, Ga. The memorial will
show an army moving across the
face of the mountain, some fig
ures in high relief and some
merely traced in outline. The
mounted figures, horse and riders
will be fifty feet from hat to fet-
lock, and though the work, which
was begun before the war is cost
ing materially more than was
originally estimated, it is being
rapidly pushed now.

forgotten for many years. It came to

objects are wont to do, in the search
for something else. It was q very
modest little notebook, frayed as to
edges, well worn and fsded as to
cover, as though it might have been
in service over period of years. It
seemed for the moment to be but
disreputable little affair, fit only for
the trash heap, and it might easily

Harding's Advisors
Urge Him To Issue
Peace Proclamation

WASHINGTON, July s. Some of
President Hardings advisors are ex-
pected to recommend that a peace
proclamation be issued to supplement
the congressional resolution ending
that state of war with Germany ana
Austria.
These advisors are understood to
hold that such proclamation would
tend to create a better feeling be-
tween the two countries and have a
psychological effect, at least, on the
resumption of trade. They also are
aid to believe that the general i'm
portance of the action of the Ameri-
can government would be better EN-
phasized by a proclamation.
The president is understood, how
ever, to have reached no decision
pending receipt of legal opinion
from Attorney General Daugherty.
