When man amt got cent, an he's
feeling kind Of blue,
An clouds hang dark an heavy, an
won't let the sun shine through.
It's . great thing, o my brethren, for
- q fellow just to lay
His hand upon your shoulder In q
friendly sort Of way.
1t makes man feel qneerish; it
makes the teardrops start;
An you sort O. feel flutter In the
region Of your heart,
You can't look up an meet his eyes;
you don't know what to say,
When his hand is on your shoulder
in friendly sort of way.
Oh, the worlds q curious compound,
with its honey and it's gall,
With its care and bitter crosses, but
good world after all;
An good God must have made it,
leastways that's what I say
When a hand is on my shoulder in q

Conference to Lay Plans
For Fighting Boil Weevil

An effort tosunny tis various 'rsc-
concentrations being made by hts dif
fsrent states and federal government
towards assisting cotton growers in
combating the sprobleuD arising out
Of the boil weevii menace will b.
made at conference to be held In
connection with the meetings Of the
land Grant College Association at
Washington, D. c., November %. Elk.
Gension directors and icoitege presi-
dents and deans of various cotton
states, as well as prominent officials
of the United States department Of
agriculture, will attend.
Among the important questions to
be discussed will be that of sncour-
aging the growth Of uniform varie-
ties oof cotton in communities. Uni
torm times Of planting 10 smother big
factor in boil weevil control that will
come up. The opinion 'is expressed
chat If agreement could he reached
py the various interest vou uniform
varieties and times Of planting and
The recommendations followed by the
growers .one-third of the weevil prob
.em would be solved.
Cotton, it isspointed out, is Q plant
that readily adapts itself to changes
n soil or climate. One variety, there
lore may prove valuable through o
wide range. One of the big difficult
ties is the long time that would be
required to effect a complete change
Of variety. Pure seed is hard to get,
as mixed varieties are so generally
grown. Some years would be re-
quired to produce enough pure seed
Of any one variety to bring about
any big change.
The conference will also 90 into
the various methods now recommend
ed for controlling boil weevils under
different conditions. No attempt will
be made to dispose finally of the va
rious problems Of fighting the boil
weevil at this conference. Its work
is intended to pave the way for an
other meeting later in which all in
terests involved will be represented.
The Lplan Of calling the conference
originated with DR.. H. A. Morgan,
president rof the University of Ten
nessee, who made three trips through
the South for the government study
ing boil weevil conditions. DR.. Nor
gan believes that unity in the meth
DDS recommended by the states and
the federal government for combat
ing the pest is one Of the most i'm
portant steps toward that end. Prac-
tically all officials Of the United
States Department of Agriculture
concerned in boil ,weevil work will
attend the meeting.

The Swedish people were among
the first to encourage these republics
in their hard fight for national ex.

inhabitants left destitute by many

through many centuries Of abject
servitude under the rule of the local
nobility Of German descent, the "Bal-

Successful Farming
In Cherokee


W. r. Walker OF the Srmnyside
community, seems TO have solved the
problem OF a successful agricultural
establishment. In addition ito large
farming operations Mr.. Walker has
one Of the finest herds of Aberdeen
Angus cattle Iii TIE South. He raises
but one breed CT cattle and evidently
agrees with Mr.. Noah Of Morristown,
Tenn, who says: zone breed of cat
tie is enough for any man." Mr.. Wal.
ker has ben a successful farmer for
many years; has made money even in
The shean years when many farmers
were almost really to give up, and ac-
.cording to his own statement, the rea-
son for his success is first, ,diversi-
hcation, and second, he has raised all
his supplies at home. Ever since the
hrst issue Of the Cherokee Times, we
have time to impress our farmer
friends with the idea that, in aorder to
be successful they must raise their
wn supplies a. home and in this way
Hecome independent Of the boil wcevil,

Else.
There are a number farmers in
Cherokee county who have accumulat-
ed good sized fortnes, and without
exception these men have made every
thing which they needed at home ex-
cept sugar and coffee and the clothing
which they wear. The farmer who

THE GRIM REAPER

Deaths from alcohol last year were half
more than in 1920.
This is shown by the records Of the Metropo-
Titan Life Insurance Company, based on nearly
14,OOO,OOO Industrial policy holders.
The alcoholic death rate will be higher for
1922, as whisky in synthetic form daily becomes
more poisonous, more fatal. Then it will drop
off rapidly. Fear, the greatest Of prohibition
enforcement agents, more powerful than all
rum sleuths combined, viii make America bone
dry, at least in whisky.
The death rate among Americans in 1922
was the lowest ever recorded averaging all
causes, says the insurance company
There were only II deaths for every 1000
population, compared with 25 in 1911.
The nation gets healthier. That's more i'm
portant than international politics or domestic
economics
Give us health and we can put up with al
most anything. For health usually means
happiness, the goal of all life.
Do you realize how rapidly the dread diseas-
es are being exterminated or gotten under con-
troll?
tuberculosis death rate has been cut almost
in half, in the last IL years. It's decline in
1921 was the greatest of any year on record.
A1FCA CAC UCdtA COlI Ol organic uGdTC disease
and Bright's disease is getting lower.
Safety First campaigns are bearing fruit.
Rate of deaths from industrial accidents is
slumping sharply.
Deaths due to automobiles are soaring. Last
year they numbered more than five times as
many as in 1911.
This is more than counterbalanced by THE
greater number of autos in use now, compared
with past years.
That, however, is small consolation to pedes-
tlians and occupants of cars with reckless
drivers. 1t is like telling a soldier that there
are 200 \rifles shooting at him, against
only 20 rifles in previous battle !
With increasing congestion of population,
compulsory protection against, reckless auto
drivers will BECOME necessity. The auto death
rate will be reduced by the same processes that
have cut the general death rate - quarantine
and education.

w ell known Teacher
Dies on Sunday
Miss Jean Margaret 0'Hare Succumbs
to Long Illness on Sunday
Evening.

Miss Jean Margaret O'Hare, for 70
years a teacher in the Kenosha schools,
died Sunday evening at $3.50 o'clock at
her home at 1928 Exchange street, after
a long illness from complication of
diseases. She had been taken critically
i'll with heart trouble week ago and

ness. The deceased was born IN
Pleasant Prairie, September 4, 1888,
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Michael
O'Hare, pioneer residents Of Kenosha'
county. The family moved to Kenosha

practically all of her life in this city.
She was a graduate of the st. James

and had completed her education at
the state university at Madison.
In Kenosha she had taught at the
Weiskopf and Durkee schools and had
been known as one of the most success
full teachers in Kenosha. Her death
will be an irreparable loss to the teach
ing staff of the school.
Surviving the deceased are her moth
er, Mrs NJ. f. O'Hare; five brothers,
John, William, James, Frand and Henry
O'Hare; and one sister, Catherine o.
Hare. Announcement of the funeral
