POISONING HINTS

Clemson College, July. Farmers
who are poisoning or who are about
to poison for boil weevil control
remember the following suggestions
by Prof. A. F. Conradi, Entomologist.
l. Unless the farmer is willing
and is prepared and determined to poi
son right, he had better not poison
at all.
2 A farmer attempting to poison
cotton on poor land may expect to
fail.
3 Unless the picking of infested
squares from the plants and from the
ground is most thorough, no benefit
may be expected. Square collecting
should be done thoroughly, under
effective supervision, with labor
that costs nothing or practically moth
ing in cash.
A. For the mule-drawn and mule
back-dusters, use gentle mules to
avoid accident. :. r. the poison is
of incorrect specifications, it may
cause burning % tie plants W il may
fail to do any good. "t:h the Us. Del

mendations on poisoning and is sent

THE TELEPHONES INVENTOR
(From The News and Courier)

Science and invention are cram
med to the brim with romance or
something very similar to it. "a tall
young professor of elocution was dcs-
perately busy in a noisy machine
shop that stood in one of the narrow
streets of Boston, not far from Scol-
lay Square. 1t was a very hot after
noon in June, but the young professo,.
had forgotten the heat and the CRIME
of the workshop. He was wholly alb
sorbed in the making of a nondescript
machine, a sort of crude harmonica
with a clock spring reed, a magnet
and wire. 1t was most absurd toy in
appearance. 1t was unlike any other
thing that had ever been made in any
country. The young professor had
been toiling over it for three years,
and it had constantly bailled him, un-
til this hot afternoon in June, 1873,
he heard an almost inaudiblc sound
q faint twang--come from the ma
chine itself.
For an instant he was stunned.
He had been expecting just such Il
sound for several months, but it came
so suddenly as to give him the senSa-
ton of surprise. His eyes biazed with
delight, and he sprang in passion OF
eagerness to an adjoining room, IN
which stood a young mechanic who
was assisting him.
"'Snap that reed again, Watson!
cried the apparently irrational young
professor. There was one of the odd
looking machines in each room, so 1t
appears, and the two were connected
bv an electric wire. Watson had snap
ped the reed on one of the machines
and the professor had heard from the
other machine exactly the same sound.
It was no more than the gentle twang
of clock spring; but it was the hrst
time in the history of the world that a
complete sound had been carried
along wire, reproduced perfectly at
;he other end, and heard by an expert
in acoustics
The "tall young professor was
Alexander Graham Bell and the faint
wang which he heard on that hot June
afternoon of 1875 announced the IN
vention of the telephone. The story,
so dramatically told above is taken
from Herbert n. Casson's History OF
the Telephone, as quotel by the
New York Tribune. How much that
faint twang meant to the world Is en-
phasized by the miles of newspaper
space printed about the man VINO
brought it about and who has just
died at the age of IS years.

A Message On Bible ReadinS

The Bible is the word of life. beg
that you will read it and find this out
for yourselves,-re not little
snatches here and there, but long pas
sages that will really be road to the
heart of it. You will find it full of real
men and women not only, but also of
the things you have wondered about
and been troubled about all your life,
as men have been always; and the
more you read the more it will beome
plain to you what things are worth
while and what are not, what things
make men happy-loyalty, right deal
ing, speaking the truth, readiness to
give everything for what they think
their duty, and, most of all, the wish
that they may have the approval of
the Christ, who gave everything fer
them-and the things that are guar
anteed to make men unhappy-sel-
hshness, cowardice, greed and every
thing that is low and mean.
When you have read the Bible YOU
will know that it is the Word of God,
beause you will have found it the key
to. your own heart, your own happi-
ness, and your own duty.---Woodrow

WASHINGTON COMMENT

''Fools rush in where angles fear to
tread"
There are lot of "angelic" legis-
lators in this country who "fear to
tread" anywhere there is labor vote
because it might no. be cast IN their
favor.
There are few "fools" who don't
care whether labor or capital, man or
woman, union or corporation votes
for them, so long as they do what
they believe to be wise, right ,and inst.
There are some journals in this
country which do not care who reads
them, so what they publish is honest,
from the heart, and not dictated be-
cause some one "fears to tread"
Hence, is that the words "con-
pulsory arbitration" are being heard
more and more, since the United
States is having not taste, but full
meal of strikes, private wars, inter-
ference with business, and with living,
while several groups of labor and
capital settle their differences by
conflict.
Compulsory arbitration is fight
ing word to organized labor. 1t is
abhorrtnt in principal to American
| ideas of justice, that any man, in
order to obtain justice be compelled
to do otherwise than is provided in
the Constitution. Compulsory arbitra-
tion might easily be tool in the
hands of either capital or labor which
would work great hardship.
But sore afflicted man or nation
will try almost any remedy for the
affliction. So the "fool" who rushes
in where others keep silent is heard,
more and more, since the United
sarily compulsory arbitration, but a
Supreme Court for Industrial Dis
putes, to which all great causes of
difference must by law be submitted,
and the findings of which must be
obeyed. Individuals assail the Su-
! preme Court of the United States.
But no one defies it. What it says,
goes. 1t is final. And its years of
usefulness have shown that it works.
Is it, after all, the rushing of a
fool" to wonder if, perhaps, Su-
| preme Court for labor and capital
might not save. this country more in
what it would prevent in financial,
economic, moral, and even physical
| loss that it would lose in substituting
| due process of law for the much
cherished Fright to strike" and
