Christmas trees that have served
their joyful purpose recently have
been functioning in another capac-
ity-that Of furnishing incense,
sometimes in homes, but more often
to the great outdoors. In some sec
tions the air Of the north woods
meets the nostrils of the wayfarer.
It's origin is easily traced to great
bonfire Of Christmas spruce on the
neighboring vacant lot. Some fem
lilies burn their Christmas trees a
branch at a time, in the heating
stove or furnace. The incense goes

How to Raise Cotton Under Mr..
Boil Weevil Conditions

AT last recipe" for the
successful production of cotton
under boil weevil conditions has
at last been discovered. The
editor of the Anderson IS. c.
Mail is the originator of the
following unique plan:
/. Prepare your land in
October by blowing it up with
dynamite.
2. Lay it off in rows II feet
apart and plant your cotton
seed in December.
8. When your cotton comes
mp thin it to / stalk in a hill %
feet apart.
A. Spray each stalk twice a
day with Hoyt's German colog-
Rne.
s. Cover your cotton with
mosquito netting when it is two
weeks old, thin netting to be
so stretched over poultry wire.
6. Spread tanglefoot be-
tween all Of your cotton rows,
and replace it every day.
z. Burn off the nearby woods,
and cut down dead trees and
also burn them.
8. Dust the following mix
ture on your cotton twice a day:
Epson salts, calomel, cream of
wheat and the white of an egg.
9. Have two hired hands for
every acre in cultivation. Fur
nish With barber's tweezers to
be used in pinching the heads off
Df any boil weevils which show
mp.
10. Mortgage your farm and
buy nitrate Of soda and spread
plentifully around the roots of
the cotton.
II. II any of the boIls should
get puncturcd have the place
Eulcanized at once. Any good
automobile tire man can do this
for you.
IL. Begin picking your cotton
m February and try t. have it
all ginned and sold by March
18th and this will enable you to
go to work and grow corn, peas,
potatoes and hogs for your own
home consumption. This kind
of consumption does not need
the services of doctor.
Pay your preacher. Trade for
cash. Settle all your old debts
and live happily ever afterward.

From the conalany post on the

employed. The ransmitter con-

the receiving station similar set OF
stakes were connected to two or

RADIO IN THE TRENCHES
By Edward n. Davis

During the World War radio COM
munication was employed in the
field by all the participants, for
maintaining the haison with the va
rious posts of command down to
battalion headquarters and for OBJ
tanning from observers in airplanes
concerning the advance of the front
line during an attack.
The types Of equipment used ranged
from the direct connected spark coil
transmitter and two step ampllfler
often operated from dugouts at bat
talon headquarters to the more
pretentious tube traDsmitter mount
ed in an automobile truck at army
headquarters. Most of the airplane
transmitters were of the wind
driven type, employing a synchron-
Gus spark gap and trailing antenna.
The plane would fly over the front
line during an advance and note the
location of machine gun nests and
points where a barrage was needed
telegraphing by radio TO a
receiving station at the post of COM
mand numbers which referred to the
particular spot on a map. If the ra-
do equipment became imperative
for any reason, the plane would
swoop down over the receiving sta
ton at the post of command num-
berS which referred to the particular
spot on a map. If the radio equip
ment became inoperate for any
reason. the plane would swoOp down
over the receiving station and drop
a small metallic tube with a written
message in it. The receiving opera
