D. C. Building Associations.

Local building associations
have now over $32,600.0 900 in
vested in District real estate,
according to an announcement
made last night by c. Clinton
James, president of the Build
ing Association Council of the
District of Columbia, in a brief
review Of the progress made by
the associations in the past six
months.
The building and loan associ-
ations have assisted in solving
the housing question by helping
persons of limited means to
finance the buying of their
homes" said Mr. James, but
the demands for loans have been
much greater than the funds
available There are 47,1O7
members of the building and
loan associations here. We
could use twice $32.O0o,00o to
take care of the demands for
loans on real estate.
The building and loan associ-
ations throughout the country
are encouraging thrift and
educating people to own their
own homes. We subscribe to
the motto of the United States
League of Local Building ana
Loan Associations: The Ameri-
can home is the safeguard of
American liberties.'"
The many busy, prosperous
associations in the District are
planning to make 1922 the best
year in their history. because
of the fact that the first $500
Of dividends is exempt from the

Weeyils Will Fool Us

According to every expert who has
studied the life and habits Of the
boil weevil as well as other observing
folks, every one is liable to be fooled
by the weevil if they are not on the
watch all the time
Right at present it is hard to find
many wcevils in the cotton fields and
this is causing some Of our people to
believe that the danger is passing
away.
Such is not the case. There is more
danger from now on than there has
been any time this year. If there ever
was time to fight the wecvil, and
fight hard now is the time.
The old weevils that went through
the winter. and were so numerous a
few weeks ago, are nearly all dead,
and because they cannot be found
some folks think the danger is over.
But these old weevils laid millions
and millions of eggs before they dis
appeared, and most of these eggs are
going to hatch into weevils, and it is
these weevils that we must watch out
for and fight.
State Entomologist Sanbom, who
visited Bryan County several weeks
ago, said that the weevils he found
then would soon disappear. but not
until they laid their eggs, and that
