Biggest Business Boom Coun.
try Ever Witnessed.

New York, July 26.-"The biggest
business boom this country ever has
witnessed" is coming at some future
date, Judge Gary, head of the United
States steel corporation, said today.
He continued:
sThe fundamental facts for this
conclusion are assured. The undis-
puted figures amount to a demon
stration. AS stated at the American
iron and seel institut e last May in
dustry is headed in the right direc-
ton.
"The business results of the. steel
corporation for the last quarter,
which were not exactly determined
until today, are surprising to anyone
familiar with general conditions"
New earnings of s21,692,o16 for
the second quarter of the current
year, ending June 80, were announc-
ed by the operation today. Wall
street had estimated these at from
eight to twenty million dollars. In
the preceding quarter s32,2s6,722
were reported: and for the second
quarter of 1920 s43,155,705.
Regular quarterly dividends were
declared both on common and pre-
ferred stock. This disbursement was
made possible by drawing on .undi-
vided surplus for s~4,571,66s as net

Newest Profteering Scheme
Investigated.

C.-.cago, July pa new form OF
pr%ofteering was charged here today
and the city council ordered an in
vestigation into the sale of artificial
ice.
"Ice makers are only half freezing
their ice, which permits them to make
double the amount at a given cost"
councilman Franz charged before
the council. "Such ice melts twice as
fast as solid ice and thus gives the
manufacturers four times the ordi-
nary profit"

Death to. Weevils by Poison
Method.
To the Editor Of The State:

To the Editor Of The State:
From time to time I have noted
accounts of poisoning the boil weeyil
by the use of a mixture of calcium
arsenate with lblackstrap molasses.
Knowing the general reliability of the
observations and conclusions of those
who have had no training in scien-
tifc experimentation, I have placed
little faith in these reports. However,
to satisfy a natural curiosity and per-
chance to add to u too meagre
knowledge of the boil weevil, / have
just completed a preliminary expert
ment, which is striking in its results,
so much so that / hasten to report on
it with the hope that it may even
this late day enable farmers to check
to some extent the ravages of the
boil weevil this season.
The experiment was conducted as
follows: Under each of four large
glass jars a stalk of cotton was piac-
ed. The jars were numbered 1, 2, 8
and a. Into each three live and active
boil weevils were introduced. The lat
ter promptly entered the squares and
fed freely upon them. A few drops
of poisoned molasses were then
placed upon the leaves of the plant
in jars 1, 2 and 8. AS a check, the
plant in jar No. a was left without
poison.
The next morning n weevil in
Jar No. 1 was dead and two in jar
No. 2. During the several following
days others died, until OF the fifth
day all three weevils in each of the
three poisoned jars were dead. Vi
the three weevils placed in the un-
poisoned jar one was we'll and active,
, one was accidently crushed in remov-
ing the jar, and the third could not
be found. The observed facts, there
fore, are that in each Of the poison
ed jars all the weevils were found
dead, while none in the imprisoned
jar died a natural death.
To make sure Of the cause OF
death, DR.. G. F. %Lipscombe of the de.
partment of chemistry made a chem,
Iical analysis of the bodies of the

The Good Book says that he that is
not for Me is against Me, which is
very applicable here to the laws of

Crops are looking fine at present,
so we hope to be able to make this
report 80 or 40 days hence, and reap
a truthful reward of the report.

some lawyer, though guilty as they
know they are, willing to go to their
refuge and use every technical point
of law they Ear rake up to clear the
guilty party, and send him back to
the swamps to double his resolution
of manufacturing the damnable stuff
in order to get cash to pay the law
yer. 1 tell you that the last state of
both criminal and defender is worse
than the first. 1 can see the effects of
moonshine business every week that
goes by.
I am sorry to have to write thus,
but nevertheless it is evidently true.
We have all the law we need for the
punishment of crime, but for some
cause it does not seem to be enforced
to make criminals fear the penalty
fer crime. Every good citizen should
be on the alert and do all they can to
help turn up the law breakers, be-
cause our sheriffs and magistrates
can't do it without the cooperation
of the good citizens of each commu-
nifty. I will stop along this line and
talk about something else.
We have, we might say a week OF
Sunday school conventions in the sec
ton. Wednesday and Thursday last
week the convention met with Little
Stevens creek church. The attendance
was not as large as u people had
expected, owing to weather condi-
tons for the past few weeks. While
we had a fairly good congregation
all seemed to enjoy the occasion.
Right after the white convention
the colored peoples convention was
in session at Willow Springs church
and about five hundred per cent bet
and they went us one better in days
ter in attendance, they having Fri
day, Saturday and Sunday, with their
best attendance on the last day. They
were, there from about four counties
and several thousand on hand. Yes,
when the colored people have services
at church they "sho do get thar for
a fac"
Mr.. j. @. Cogburn is still confined
to his room and we can't see that he
is improved to any extent. We trust
that he will yet get up and be able to
mingle with us again.
I am sure I voice the sentiment of
most people in this section, both
white and colored, at the capture of
one Ell Crlbreath. His crime was one
everybody in the county was famil-
lar with, he having evaded arrest for
about eight months. Somebody is re-
sponsible for his get away, and if
found out should also be punished.

Wage Reduction.

Discussing general reduction of
wages in many industries, Judge Gary
said:
"We have been paying somewhat
higher wages than many other basic
lines of industry. We think reduc-
ton in these rates should follow,
rather than lead, selling prices, par
ticularly those involving the cost Of
living, which in some respects is still
unreasonable. This is being surely,
if slowly, forced down to a fair basis
by Withholding Of purchases by con-
usmers. Up to the present time we
believe wage earners generally have
not been paid too much.
"Just at present there are many
reasons for believing Dur conditions
are improving, even though we may
not as yet have experienced, to a
large extent, the good results. Read
justments were necessary and they
have been and are progressing with
beneficial effect.

"Actual" Peace Ahead.

apparently, we shall soon have
actual peace throughout the world.
Legislation will be calculated to as
sist rather than obstruct legitimate
progress. Taxes which now burden
almost to the point of stagnation
will surely be gradually and reason
ably modified. international and in
dustrial peace will become stabilized,
not. as the result of combined force
because of the good will and honest
desire of right-minded people.
''The financial aspect of this coun-
try and other countries has been in
an endeavor to return to a sane and
reasonable basis. The banking insti-
buttons of the country ire sound. Our
resources are enormous. Everyone is
called upon to do his bit or her part
in the endeavor to return to a sane
and reasonable basis, and the sooner
this opinion become practically unan-
nous the earlier will we reach the
goal of prosperity, the apparent dis
lance of which depends upon indi-
vidual vision"
