Liquor and Lawnakers.-The Sa-
vannah Press declares there was no
dispensing of whisky" to members Of
the legislature on the occasion Of the
visit Of that body to Savannah, that
there was no liquor served on the
train that brought the legislators to
Savannah, none at the breakfast at the
hotel and more on either of the steam
crs where refreshments were served,
none at the dinner given the newspa-
per mon at Tybee and none at the fish
dinner served to all the visitors at Ty-
brisa pavilion. The Press adds:
"Thc most popular vocal selection Of
the entire trip, so far as Savannah was
concerned, was the singing by legis-
lative chorus of that old and we'll
known tune, How Dry AM" render
cd with a pleading voice and bone
dry throat which left no doubt of the
sincerity of those who caroled it,"
Good for Savannah. What does
Brunswick say? 1t has been printed
in the papers that some of the boys
got hold of wee bit while they were
port terminating at the city farther
down the coast, as well as at Savan-
nah.
To be frank about it, it does not "set
wcll"-thcse stories which have been
printed about the members of the
Georgia general assembly being
treated to" or permitting themselves
treated to liquor while they were on
n jaunt on state business. The stories
may not be true. They ought not to be
true-Aususta Chronicle.

Annapolis class OF 1881 visited the
Perry moument at Kurihama Park, Il
bleak fishing village on the coast of the
Miura Peninsula, not far from Yoko-
suKa, Japan's great naval station,
there has been q regular pilgrimage Of
American residents and visitors to that
historic spot, which heretofore, be-
cause Of its inacccssibility, has been
overlooked. The monument which has
been well cared for during the u years
of its existence, stands just above high
water mark on n sand dune, but is
surrounded by low stone wall, which
protects it when the sea is running
high.

fine is the work that the finest details
of the features of the figures repre-

American Association OF Dancing
Masters in convention in New York
city, said the other day: II firmly be-
lievc that so per cent OF the faults of
position on the dancing floor are

the girl of today cannot dance unless
she has a death grip on the neck of
the man with whom she is dancing.
The trouble is, the average young girl
doesn't know how to dance. She learns
TO dance at schools run by promoters
who have no conception of the art of

cricket, while played by all English

similar to those of American baseball.

Enormous Quantities.

Under our new and cheap processes
and under the greater belief that
poisoning in dry weather is our best
method of boil weevil control it seems
to follow that calcium arsenate will
be made in the future in larger quanti
ties than possibly any other insecticide
It will be handled in the future and
manufactured in the future on a carload
basis. The manufacturing plants will
not be small units but will be large
ones. It's use will be so large and so
valuable that great research work for
cheapening processes will continually
be carried on. 1t will be an insecticide
in a class all by itself. Probably in no
other insecticide line has so much re-
search work and such valuable econo-
mics been discovered in the past few
years as has obtained in the manu-
facture of calcium arsenate.
Poison AS busted.
Calcium arsenate is used not only as
against boil weevils but potato bugs,
lODdCCO "OIIIiS, cduDiSe "OLiuS anu al
other insect leaf eating worms. 1t is
applied dust fashion which throws
millions of tiny poisoning particles all
over the plant and is thousand times
better than any spraying method. The
dusting method was but little practiced
until the arrival OF calcium arsenate.
Tie. discovery yv1S q ti.iI1rnph in the in
secticide world. 1t is not only our
only hope, seemingly, as against boil
wcevil but it has given up process,
that of dusting, that has practical
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1922-08-29
The New Process.

The manufacturers have learned,
however, that calcium arsenate can be
dried under the drum process as heated
by steam and there is every evidence
to believe that the whole and sole
center of it's manufacture in the future
will revolve around getting calcium
arsenate direct from an arsenical ore
just as phosphoric acid, through the
electric arc, is now being obtained from
phosphate rock and just as potash in
the future, under the electric arc, will
surely be obtained direct. from North
Carolina feldspar. No calcium arsenate
manufacturer dares today to put up
manufactory under the old and ex-
pensivc calcium arsenate processes.
These new and more inexpensive pro-
cesses, together with the continuous
fall Of paris green, gives us great hope
that this indispensable poison will
carry fairly low prices for the future
and this gives US some extra hope for
our future cotton industry

Kids For SsIe.-The vicar was anX-
ious to introduce some new hymn
books into the church and arranged
with his clerk that the latter should
give ont a notice regarding them after
the sermon. The clerk, however, had
an important notice of his own with
reference to the baptism of Infants.
Accordingly at the close Of the SER
mon he rose and announced: "All
those with children whom they wish to
have baptized should send in their
names at once"
The vicar, who was deaf, assumed
that the clerk vas giving ont the hymn
book notice. So he arose and said:
And | should like to add, for the
benefit of those who haven't any, that
they may be obtained any day at
o'clock-thc ordinary little ones at n
shilling each and the special ones at
one and siXpence each"

Beaded Bnqs

OOV1SIS~ DS]AO
Beaded bags with the
rippling, rustling, filmy
dresses of Summertime.
Beaded bags as gay as
posies-bags that are fig
uratively filed with color,
reds, greens, blues, pur-
pies, yellows, browns,
white and many more, all
combining and rioting and
dazzling on the one bag.
And with it all they are
delicate, cool, frail looking
things, with each color in the
daintiest tint. just created for
Summertime, it seems, in Sum-
mer's fairest hues.
The beaded bags at Wana-
makers are hand done, mostly
with the tiniest of beads, and
they were done abroad, where
master beaders work.
Art that is centuries old
comes back to life in the
landscapes, the floral effects,
the odd figures of Egypt
queer designs that are traced
over each bag in all the gor-
geous colors that madame
loves.
Sizes are as varied as the
whims of fashion, many are
the draw-string type with silk
cord handles. others are
mounted on massive silver
frames with chain handles.
Prices start at S25 for a
draw-string bag and stop at
$125 for a silver frame bag
that is ten inches deep.
