Greenwood Sept. 30.-The pur-
chase of denatured alcohol at drug
stores in this city has become so
frequent of late tina; druggists have
placed a ban on sales, where pur-
chasers are suspected of making il
legal use of the connection. Many of
the purchasers are suspected, drug
gists say, of mixing the poisonous
connection with water and selling it
as moonshine whiskey.
Most Of the wouldoo purchasers

MORE DORMITORIES
NEEDED AT AGNES SCOTT

Decatur, Ga, Sept. 3O.-Approx-
imately 435 students are attending
Agnee Scott this year, according to
DR.. F. H. Gaines, the president
which represents an increase OF
nearly 400 over the number enroll
ed at the institution when it was
founded thirty-fve years ago. A
much larger enrolment would be
had if the facilities of the college
permitted for scores of applicants
for admission have turned away, DR..
Gaines stated.
Agnes Scott ranks among the
leading colleges for young women in
America in scholastic standards, and
only young women of the highest
type in character and educational
qualifications are admitted by the
college officials. Ever since its
founding the institution has placed
especial emphasis not only on the
highest standards of Christian ed
ucation, but on the training OF
Christian character and Christian
womanhood as we'll. -.
In his statement today DR.. Gaines
pointed out the remarkable growth
of the institution through the en-
dowment Of men and women who
believe in Christian education and
training, and predicted a yet great
er growth of Agnes Scott. He de-
clared that 1--WE have a splendid
foundation upon which to, build a
Creator Agnes ScosS," and that the
IDEAL would be realized in part upon
the erection Of a new and modern
gymnasium, as we'll as other new
buildings for study and recitation,
and new dormitories and Of power
plant when funds were available.
The young women enrolled in the
institution come from all states OF
the South and many day students
from Atlanta as well. All students
who do not live near the institution
reside in the college dormitories.

WAKEFIELD BATS AGAIN.

Col. S. J. Wakefield, the inventor
of the Do-Dad, which threatened to
revolutionize the ginning of cotton
in these parts, has come to the bat
again. This time he takes a lick at
the fellow which hit him. 1t may not
be generally known, but it is a fact
that about the time the Do-Dad came
on the market, the boil weevil arriv-
ed on the scene. The latter immedi-
ately ate up all the extra cotton
Col. Wakefield was to gin with his
invention.
The boil weevil having thus taken
a lick at the inventor, the latter now
hits him back. The weapon of offense
is a new boil weevil killer. The Colo
mel who keeps both his hands and
his head, busy at all times, has COM
pounded q mixture Of calcium arsen-
ate, molasses and n or two other
essentials, and the compound, he de-
clareg, will do the work and at the
same time greatly lessen the expense
of putting out the poison.
Heretofore as everybody now
knows the trouble about poisoning
the weevii has been the fact that
every rain and even heavy frosts
washed away the poison deposited
on the plants making it necessary to
repeat the dose, but not so with the
Wakefield brand. It is there for
keeps. The Colonel says that he has
applied the poison to the plants,
then Gagged the weevils with the
plants, and it has done the work.
Having tested it for its efficiency in.
this way, he has then washed the
r'eTTrs CT whieh the poison was ap-
Piled as thoroughly as a rain would
wash them, then Gagged another sup
ply of weevils with the plant, and the
same result attended-sudden death.
We have been telling the people
not to grow too respondent. Some
body is going to find a remedy for
the troubles which the boil weevil
has brought US. We whipped the
Germans and we will yet whip the
boil weevil. We must be given time
to get our men in the field, but
when we get them there, nothing
will be left but dead weevilS. And
there is nobody in Abbeville County
in whom we have more confidence
for leading in the fight, than Col. S.
J.. Wakefield of Antreville. Keep
your eye on him.

CHIC GALLOWAY
PLAYS GOOD BALL
Chic Galloway Improved More Than
Any Player in Major Leagues,
Says Billy Evans.
(By Billy Evans in Atlanta Journal)

(By Billy Evans in Atlanta JournaD
Who is the most valuable ball
player in the majors!
That is some question "A commits
sion of BASEBALL experts is to decide
that perplexing problem as far as
the American league is concerned.
Much honor and the p%roverbial
laurel wreath will be slipped to the
individual chosen.
Who is the most improved ball
player in the major leagues?
Chic Galloway Named
If that we're the all absorbing
question, I would nominate with
much eathusasm, Chick Galloway,
of the Philadelphia Athletics.
From a clever player inclined to
be erratic Galloway has developed
into a great shortssop. He always
has posed much ability, but lacked
consistency. One day he would per-
form brilliantly, the next day he
would look just $3.50.
Last season Galloway was in and
out of the Atheletice line up a doz-
times. Just when Manager Mack
felt he was the max for shortstop,
something would happen to make
him change his mind. .
At the start of this season, Gal
loway was assured that he was the
regular shortstop, and that he would
be in there every day regardless Of
any slump that might overtake him
Possibly that was the very thing
he seems to sense the direction
necessary confidence that he seemed
to lack. From the start of the sea.
o he has played fine ball. His
work seems to improve from day 10
day. f.
Galloway is very fast. In addition
the he seems to sence the direction
the ball is going to be hit of the
crack of the bat. He covers a world
of ground and has a great arm. He
seems able to got plenty of stuff
on the ball regardless Of the position
in which he is compelled to make
his throw.
Galloway from a playec who in
the past has been brilliant but er-
ratio, appears to have. found him
self and is consistently brilliant.
Not only has Galloway developed
into a consistent y classy fielder,
but he has improved his hitting as
we'll.
Last year he batted PCS, This sea-
son he has been around the 300
all year and uusally is from 20 to
40 points better.
1t is beginning to look very much
as if Connie Mack has developed
another shortstop who would rate
with Jack Berry. The fine showing
of Galloway Settles the left side of
the Athletics infield for Jimmy Dy-.
kes is a star performer at third.
It's going to be a tough job to
pick the most valuable ball player in
the American league, but it is an
easy matter to select the most i'm
proved player in the Johnsonian

ADVISES USE OF POWDERED
MILK FOR STOCK FEEDING

That powdered milk makes an
ideal preparation for stock iced
ing is the opinion of E. n. Hutch
inson of Lynden, formerly with
the United States Department of
Agriculture, who presents his
views for readers of The Tribune
today as follows:
In all nutrition studies the ex-
perimental principles are invar-
iably tried out on farm animals
and nothing has yet been found
to add to any trial ration that
produces as good results in over
coming protein and mineral de-
ficiencies as skim milk. The rea-
son for this lies in the improve
ment of the mineral content of
the mixture both in quantity and
quality and the introduction of
the better proteins from milk.
The protein content of given
feed means but little until its
worth is proven by practice and
experience because il is only the
available protein that counts.
and in this skim milk stands the
very highest. Further, the skim
milk protein eXerts such an in
fiuence in ration as 10 really

factor of all the cereal grain

When chicks are Matched the
next problem is to raise them.
To do this the brooder house
must be kept spotlessly clean and
we'll ventilated. If it has been
used before it will be necessary
to disinfect it.
A perfect brooder should be
used which gives sufficient heat
and may be ventilated. Where
good heat is furnished and plenty
of ventilation is possible, the
make of the machine or what
furnishes the heat, suggests w.

The brooder house floor, or
that part under and around the
hover, should be sprinkled with
a thin layer of fine sand. which
should be covered with burlap
or white muslin. Muslin is better
for if the chicks eat too mucn
of the burlap it is apt to kill
them. If the sand is not COW
cred the chicks will die from
eating too much.
When everything is in readi-
