Boy Of Eighteen Gets Action.

Midshipman ]. L. Storey, boy OF
perhaps eighteen, the.a sole surviving
officer of the Queen Mary, reported
to his C. o. on the loss of his ship!
That midshipman, by the way, bore
charmed life. At Jutland he was
picked up unconscious after sinking
twice. He was with Cradock at the
battle of Coronel, escaping in the
Glasgow after the flagship and the
Monmouth had been sunk with not a
man saved; with Sturdee in the bat
lie of the Falklands, and in many
engagements in the DardanelIes. And,
after all, he was the sole surviving
officer of one of our largest ships

Cure for Flat Feet

Are you dat-footed? If you don't
know, the next time. you take bath,
observe the impressions thar your wet
feet make. If your feet are normal
there will be a narrow line from heel
to toe on the outside; if they are fiat
the entire bottom Of the foot will
show.
How can you cure flat-footedness?
Buy handful of marbles, place them
in two rows, and start picking them
up with your toes. To do this you
must curl up your toes; as a result
the muscles of the feet will be exer-
eised and thereby strengthened.--Pop.

PASSES POISONED
 DESTROYS WFfy|L

Molasses poisoned with calcium ar senate is proving the most effective destroyer of boil weevils around Louisville, Ga, according to the Der mott News, copy of which has been received by Vice President Frank Farris of the Farmers State Bank. Two pounds of arsenate dissolved in one quart of water and mixed with one gallon of molasses. The mixture is then applied with swab to the cotton stalks. Weevils hunt the mo- 1asses and feed on it, taking in the poison at the same time
 The new destroyer was discovered by negro in Georgia, who was pick ing off weevils early one morning when his breakfast was brought to him. He accidentally dropped some molasses on cotton stalk and mo- ticed that the weevils came to it. He told the owner of the farm and he added calcium arsenate, soon ridding the field of the pest Directions as given in the Dermott News are as fol- lows:
 "Now, this molasses treatment is simply feeding the boil weevils on molasses poisoned with calcium ar senate. You take two pounds of cal cium arsenate and dissolve it thor oughly in one quart of water and mix this with one gallon of molasses. Make mop by tying small rag on the end of small stick or switch and dip this mop in the molasses mixture and touch each stalk of cotton. Do not use too much of the mixture; it will not hurt the cotton plant, but it is simply a waste of material. The above amount should be sufficient to go over three acres of cotton if prop erly applied It is better to put the mixture in the bud of the stalk, but applied on any part or any leaf will do all right. The weevils hunt this molasses to feed on it and will find it if put on the plant, but they will find it quicker if put in the bud

CHILDREN DESTROY
 TEXAS PEACE GROVE
(Rv the Associated pres.)

Fl Paso, Teas, July 15.-MeXican children gathering firewooI are slowly wiping out clump of cotton wood trees northwest of Jaurc2, Mex ico, across the Rio Grande from here, which has been known as Peace Grove" because it was there that General Francisco I. Madero agreed to a series of armistices which pre- ceded the end of his revolution.
 Approximately twenty-five trees marked the historical spot in 1911, Today, it is said, less than half this number survive the raids of the chil- dren sent out to search for fuel.
 The grove won its namc in 1911 when Madero led his troops against the Juarez federal garrison, which remained loyal to President Porfirio Diaz. The commander Of the gar rison and Madero arranged several armistices under the trees of the grove.

ly important part. Paula Rendl, daugter of Peter Rendl, the sculptor, who was Joseph of Arimathea in the play in 1910 and enacted the role Of St. John 21 years ago, is one of the most promising candidates for the role of Mary. Fraulein Rendl has shown great ability in minor religious plays which are produced constantly by the Oberammergau folk as means of training actors for the Passion Play.
 Marie Mayr, who played the role of Mary Magdalene in the 1910 pro- duction, has also married and is liv- ing in Chicago. Marie Schmid, who was the Veronica in the last produc- ton, has also married. Eighty-two Of the Oberammergau men died dur ing the war and many of the older actors of the last production will be disqualified by age for important roles. Consequently there are scores ot places in the cast to which young men with ability as actors may aspire. They have begun to let their hair grow. Wigs and makeup are not permitted by directors of the Pas sion Play. Practically all the older men who had important parts in the last production have never cut their hair. Many of them have retained their long boards and pride themselves on their resemblance to the biblical characters they have depicted.

BAVARlANS MAKE READY
 PASSION PLAY IN 1922
Oberammergau Spectacle Given Dec ennially Revived Since Great
 Wars Close.
(By the Associated Press,

Oberammergau, Bavaria, June 27 (By Mail. Thirty performances of the Passion Play have been scheduled for 1922 by the committee of 21 wh;ch IS directing the spectacle, but this number will be increased if the at tendance demands, as was the case both in 1900 and 1910. It will re- quire an outlay of $1 5000 marks to stage the Oberammergau play and the villagers are extremely anxious about the German political situation, lest conditions be such that foreign CTS will not attend.
 The 360 burghers, who constitute the descendants of the original peas ants who made the VOW to produce the play decennially, personally assume the responsibility for this expenditure and the failure to attract sufficient visitors to meet the cost would result in the bankruptcy of practically the entire village, as the Oberammergau folk have slight resources. Most of the burghers are woodcarvers, potters, painters, sculptors, farmers, mer- chants and small shopkeepers. Only the descendants of the villagers who were saved from the plague in 1633 take part in the Passion Play and assume responsibility for it's produc- tion.
 Next October will be a Hateful month for then the names of the vil- lagers who are to have the leading roles in the spectacle will be an- nounced. To be selected to enact the role of Jesus Christ or one of the apostles is far greater honor to an Oberammergau man than election to the presidency of Germany or any otb- CT office within the gift of the entire German people. And any woman of Oberammergau would far rather be chosen to play the role of Mary or Martha or Mary Magdalene than to be in the position of Frau Ebert as mistress of the presidents palace in Berlin.
 Many of the actors in the Passion Play next year will doubtless be the same as those in the cast when the play was last produced in 1910. An ton Lang, who enacted the role of Jesus Christ in 1900 and 1910, will probably be chosen for the part again, as he is still young enough to under take the arduous task and looks the part so well that younger aspirans are not likely to displace him.
 Ottilie Zwink, who played the role of Mary in 1910, has married since that time. No married woman can play role. Consequently all the young women of Oberammergau with ability and experience as actors are eagerly trying to qualify for the high
