WHAT DELAY is COSTING.

THE boil weevil is destroying so
per cent of the 1922 cotton crop
and the loss is at least $500, 100000.
So estimates the Department of Ag-

When this insect first crossed the
Rio Grande and invaded our coun-
try from Mexico, about rs years ago,
it could have been curbed and prob
ably driven back entirely by spend
ing a few million dollars.
Delay is more costly than blum

gram that tells me of the death of
my Uncle Oliver, who at IS has fin
ished his work and passed on. In
every possible way his life was COM

sterling qualities included quiet de-

for law and order, and determine

prevail.

written all over it. In my early days
1.paid a yearly visit to that old home
and learned to admire and to love,
as men love, this man who was so
ruggedly honest"
The letter continues: 81 can see
him now, just before bedtime, with
a little note book, setting down his
memorandum of daily events, just as
he had done for more than 60 years.

While the clerk was gone one of the women would hold open a large marketing bag, while the other would drop a dress or other article into 1t.
 This plan worked at the Parisian where they are alleged to have ob- tained dress valued at $50, at Greenberg's where they obtained a sweater and dress valued at s20 and at Loveman. Joseph and Loeb's where they obtained a dress valued at $50. The women were caught as they were preparing to leave the latter store.
