Hickory county, said that he had
made an error in supporting Hyde
for governor in the last primary cleo
tion and that he should have helped
McJimsey. He stated that Hyde car
ried his county four to one, but that
if Hyde and McJimsey were candi-
dates today McJimsey would carry
Hickory county nine to one.
Representative Elmer took up the
defense of Hyde and said: Il voted
for Mr.. McJimsey. I belong to the
Babler faction and not the one to
which the governor claims to belong,
Jake Babler is my friend and ] don I
give damn who knows it." @
Elmer dwelt a. length on the per-

charges that he made was that in one
locality the petitions were circulated

GoMPERS IS LABOR HEAD
Veteran Leader Reelected President
Over John L. Lewis.

Denver, Col, June 25.-Samuel
Gompers overcoming bitter opposi-
ton, was reelected president of the
American Federation of Labor for his
fortieth term. The veteran labor
leader, won over John L. Lewis of
the coal miners union, who put up a
strenuous fight for leadership.
The official vote was: 'Gompers,
25,oz2; Lewis, 1894.
James Duncan of Quincy, Mass,
was elected first vice-president of
the federation. ]. F. Valentine OF
Cincinnati, O., was unanimously
elected second vice-president.
Lewis was unable to overcome the
handicap of the sEong sentimental
hold which Gompers obtained on the
labor movement in nearly two score
years Of administration.
The vote was taken amid dramatic
scenes in the auditorium. The gal
leries were packed with supporters
Of both factions. The floor of the
convention hall was crowded with
spectators. Delegates applauded
every vote as it was announced.
1t was the first time that Gompers
has been strenuously opposed since
1894, when he was defeated for the
presidency by another miner.
Gompers won the decision back the
next ear. however.
Gompers' triumph was an indorse-
ment by representatives of organized
labor If Americ t his administra-
ton and ~~n-oval of his slow moving

Gompers was given tremendous
ovation as the vote was announced

HARDING TELLS SENATE NOT
TO WORRY ABOUT FOR
EIGN POLICY.
Solons Sweating at Rumors Treaty
Was to Be Resubmitted.

Washington, June 25.-President
Harding has sent word to senators
mot to worry about his foreign
policy it was learned Saturday
night.
Reports and rumors concerning
Harding's plans for an association OF
nations, including one that he.
would shortly resubmit the Versailles
treaty to the senate, had produced a,
hot weather furry in the senate.
The disturbed senators sent one OF
their number to the White House.
On his return from talk withs
Harding, he told his colleagues that
Harding said tell them not to
worry" about either the "associa-
ton" the Versailles treaty or the
disarmament conference under the
Borah rider to the navy bill.
1t had been reported cabinet menu
bers were putting the Versailles
treaty in shape with view to 'urg-
senate. As 10 that Harding is re-
ported to have said to his caller that
the cabinet members had not yet put
the question before him, He init
mated that wien they did he would
reject their plans.
Harding intends to call the dis
armament conference provided for
under Borah's amendment to the
navy bill, before any foreign states
man gets chance to beat him to
it."
The Borah plan is to invite Great
Britain and Japan to discuss naval
reduction with the United States.
Some feared that Lloyd George
might take the initiative and might
ask the United States and Japan to
meet Great Britain. They want
Harding to have the honor of calling
the conference
The United States is not pleased at
a prospect of the renewal of the
Anglo japanese alliance, it was-un-
derstood here Saturday night.
The hope that has been held by
high officials Of the government that
The United States specifically would
be exempted from the terms of the
alliance seemed to be developing to-
ward opposition to a renewal of the
past in any form
How the attitude of the American
government toward the alliance will
De made known to the world, If i
.ver is, is matter of conjecture.
The study now being given by the
British and japanese governments t.

parative results than the 1921
crop shows with the 1920 crop.
The effect of the ant crusade
against the weevil is showing SO
much better this year, and the
ants are becoming as much
more numerous, that another
years test will show a field that
Mr.. Manner predicts will be COM
paratively weevil-free. The fact
that all those planter who have
investigated the ant experiment
have declared their intention of
giving it a trial next year, and
that nearly all the planters in
the Carenco territory are now
trapping ants for that expert
ment, undoubtedly will furnish
in next years crop absolutely
dependable results regarding the
efficacy of the ant against the
wcevil.
Discovered by Accident.
-
Mr.. Manner discovered the ant
solution by accident he says. A
neighbor in Carenco had an
acre-patch of cotton in 1919
that looked to Mr.. Manner like a
bale-to-the-acre crop, and he
inquired how it came about.
This neighbor did not have an
explanation to offer except the
suspicion that ants from a near
by cernentery had destroyed the
weevil in the crop. Mr.. Manner
got some old discarded syrup
cans and trapped large num-
Der Of ants.
He threw these cans into the
field he is now cultivating, in
May, 1920, and paid no further
attention to them. They made
their own nests and did. their
own foraRing, and multiplied
by the millions. They required
and received no further atten-
ton of any sort. Today, the |
cotton stalks are swarming with
ants.
Method Of Trapping Ants.
He advises those who want to !
trap" the ants to use cane orr
jars, with raw meat or shrimps !
for bait. Sugar also is q fine
bait, but m0lasses or syrup
should not be used because the !
ants 'sdrownv and die in it. |
Once the ants are trapped" it
+ only necessary I othrow the
cans into the field and forget
about them. The ants will do
the rest" (

more apparent, MT. Manner
afterwards conducted the dele
cation to another cotton patch
of the same size on a plot of
ground in the same vicinity,
which had not been treated"
with the ant experiment.
Shows Lack of Treatment.
On this second plot there was
not found one boil of what is
known as ''tops," though there
were the usual number grow
ing nearer the ground. The
yield on this second plot will run
on an average of possibly half
a bale to the acre, or less. The
weevil was as thick around
these stalks az the ants IN the
Manner field.
Ants Exterminate Weevil.
Mr.. Manner explained the re-
suits in q way that was convinc-
ing. He contends tina the ants
will exterminate the weevil in
three or four years by the prop
'agation Of this pest. The wee
VII attacks the boil. boring a tiny
hole therein for the purpose Of
depositing its eggs. This hole
almost Immediately grows over
again with the growth the boil,
and the eggs thereby are pro-
Itected to the Matching period.
About the same time the boil
cracks and makes an opening
through which the ants may en-
ter the boil and destroy the
Matching weevil. which 1t does.
The ants will not attack the
adult weevil of course, because
the adult weevi1 Is equipped
with wings with which to avoid
such q battle. nnt the weevil
does not live forever, and II the
ants become generally used in
the cotton fields, and destroy the
eggs from which are Matched fu-
tlirc generations Of the weevil,
HE species ID bound to be ex-
terminated in the course Of
time, says Mr.. Manner, and he
has the proof in his own field
That IA theory Il tenable.

POSSIBLE.


The LAFAYETTE Gazette said:
Determination of the boil
weevil and the saving thereby
of thousands of dollars to the
cotton planters of the parish ev-
cry year, through through the
use Of the Argentine ant. is de-
clared to be a demonstrated sue
cess on the crop grown this sea-
son by Jules Manner on the farm
of Levy Prejean, near Carencro.
And after careful inspection
of the biggest crop Of cotton
ever grown on eleven acres in
the parish, a delegation of
farmers and business men de-
clared Saturday that Mr.. Mann
cr's claim seemed justified, and
pronounced 1t impressive
enough to be worthy of trial by
all the planters next season.
More Than Bale to Acre.
Because the ants had Toasted
40 thoroughly on the larvae of
the weevils that pest had been.
in a large field, and the result
was a cotton crop that would
average slightly better than q
bale to the acre, instead Of the
average of quarter to a half
hale, elsewhere in the cotton
belt. Mr.. VOORHEES, inspected
the crop and went thoroughly
into the methods used in ex-
pcrimenting with the ants. Then
he was convinced and he became
% enthused that he came to
town and interested some of his
friends among the business men.
They promised to 60 out to
the farm and see for themselves,
20 II was arranged for them to
