WAR ON BOIL WEEVIL
Florida Mans Methods Against The
Pest Are In Favor

Washington, Nov. 30.-(Associated
Press) throughout the
South, especially those growing cotton
on low yielding land, were urged yes
terday by the department of agricul-
ture TO give during the coming sea-
son widespread and thorough trial
Of the new method of boil weevil con-
troi developed by DR.. H. G. Smith at
the Florida Experiment Station, at
Gainesville, Fla, and recently an
nounced by DR.. Wilmon Newell, of the
Florida state plant board.
in its first official announcement on
the subject, the department of agri-
culture said it took great interest in
the new method as announced in the
Florida bulletin dealing with the ex-
Deriments Of Mr.. Smith.
I'm these experiments, which were
conducted in northern Florida" said
the departments announcement, "the
treated fields average 439 pounds of
seed cotton per acre; the untreated
fields averaged only 164 pounds of
seed cotton per acre in all tests. TIL.
average cost of treatment for the en-
tire season was S1.57 per acre, en-
| ploying the new method of boil weevil
removal and destruction of all squares
on the plants at a time when about
two squares per plant are present.
This operation destroys a large per-
centage of the weevils and is immed-
mediately followed by a thorough
busting to poison the terminal buds
where the remaining weevils are fore
ed to flee.
"This announcement is particularly
important because it apparently of

HupmobiLe
Easier to Sell

This all gets back to the fact that the
dealer today can sell Hupmobiles with
greater ease, and he can sell more Of
them, than ever before.
And, we know, he can make more net
profit on the Hupmobile; profit that COM
pares most favorably with what can DO
made in any other line Of business.
The Hupmobile franchise is eagerly
sought for today by dealers everywhere.
We want men who understand that sell
ing automobiles does not mean large
investment in pretentious salesrooms, but
that it means sound business practice,
keeping statesmen on the job, and good
bank credit.
If you are such dealer, you can, I'M
auestionably, make good money in sell
ing Hupmobiles. Hupmobile dealers
have demonstrated this to be fact; let
us tell you the full story.
Write to us today. We believethatyeuwill
have cause to congratulate yourself, time
after time in the future, on having done so.

MORALS OF MARCUS"

Those pessimistic persons who bewail the "cheapness" of motion pictures should all see Morals" to- night at the White Grand theatre, with May McAvoy in the stellar role
 For Morals is none other than a screen version of that delightful ly whimsical novel by William J. Locke, "The Morals of Marcus Or dyne." So here is the best of mod ern British literature brought to the screen without injury in the transi- tion, by those two finished artists in their respective fields, Julia Crew ford Ivers, scenarist, and William Desmond Taylor, director.
 Those who admired the remark able human appeal of May McAvoy in Sentimental Tommy" will have additional cause to commend that quality after seeing Morals" She makes the little Anglo Turkish har- em girl real person, a maid whose developing character provides new pleasures as the picture proceeds in it's way.

SAY CONWAY SET
 AGAINST SCHOOL MAJORITY VANS lCLOSE Mrs. Smith Points Out That Public Spirited Citizens and Banks
 Long Bore Burden.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 Will you allow me space for few words on the public school question? There is far too much being said on this matter. We are all too much agitated and excited, even worried, some people are,-when if you stop to think we are for the first time in some six or eight. years about to get exactly what we want-the closing of our public schools.
 ] For the past two or three years l the banks have stood between us and our desires and before that for some time so-called public spirited citizens by private subscriptions compelled us to keep the doors of our schools open, though even they could not make us have the kind of schools other peo ple's children in other towns were enjoying. But when the matter was finally allowed to rest where it should have been all the time, on the whole citizenship, there can be no doubt of what the concensus of opn-
 
 a citizen spending $100 gave $1 to the public school and were delighted when it was demonstrated that this really (to the individuaD insignifi- cant amount would be sufficient to sustain the school through this year. Then came the surprise.
 Educated, well-to-do parents with two, three and four children in school refused to pay the taxx, though their names were on the list pledging to do so. Clerks everywhere failed to even try to collect this tax, though they too had children dependent on the public school for education. They also has signed the pledge and made the sale standing under a card saying so and the merchants did exactly the same thing.
 Now this is a free country; gov ernment of the people by the people for the people" tor something like that). and when we all get together and speak in such unmistakeable tone for a thing, not even our banks, useful institutions that they are, nor our public spirited citizens in their mistaken kindness shall stand be- tween us and what we know we want and are determined to have.
 What care we if our children grow up in ignorance and idleness? We have saved our pennies, Arkansas | is ever now instituting opportunity schools" absolutely free, in which one may learn at least to sign his name quite enough education for the inferiora children ours are.
 So let's settle down to the new or der as soon as school doors are clos ed, satisfied that for once we have exactly what we all want.
 Yours truly,
 Mrs. s. G. Smith.

 q decided to give Cardui trial and found 1t was just what l really needed. It made me feel much strong er soon after 1 began to use 1t. De- 0an to eat more, and the nervous, weak feeling began 10 leave. Soon was sleeping good.
 "Cardui built me up as no other tonic ever did.
 "I used Cardui with one daughter who was puny. felt bad and tired out au the time. It brought her right out, and soon she was as well as girl could be. We think there Is nothing like Cardui."
 Do not allow yourself to become weak and rundown from womanly troubles. Take Cardui. You may find 1t just what you really need. For more than 40 years it has been used by thousands and thousands, and found just as Mrs. Mabe describes.

DARDANfLLf MAY
 CLOSE ITS SCHOOL
(Dardanelle Post-Dispatch.)

Nbdl bciltllC l Ool-IIIS SJstllH.J
 With the January salaries of the teachers-amounting to about $900- unpaid, and with less than $500 on hand to pay them, the school board is confronted with the necessity of immediately raising funds or at once terminating the present term of school.
 The financial condition of the school IS well known to the patrons of the district Confronted with deficit of approximately $12,000 (exclusive of bonded indebtedness) it was feared at the close of the 1920-21 term of school that 1t would be necessary to make the present term of school a subscription school; but appreciating the grave hardship this would work on the children, and the unenviable advertising it would be to the town, mass meeting was held last June, at which it was decided to endeavor to raise funds sufficient to conduct the school by selling school warrants, payable in 1923, to the patrons of the district. A committee spent a week or more in this undertaking, securing pledges sufficient to justify the cleo tion of teachers and announce the opening of school
 It now seems, however, that many of those who signed the pledges are disregarding the obligation, with the result that the board of directors is in grave financial straits.
 It would be calamity to abandon the school in mid-term. and the P-D. earnestly urges those who have signed pledge cards and failed to meet their payments to attend to the matter at once.
 The school board has a statement of the case in another column of this issue of the P-D.

ference to what some critics are pleas ed to call the agricultural bloc in the senate and house of representatives. 100 in the house and 22 in the senate, as men "banded together for the pur- pose of securing legislation in the in- terest of the American farmers" Those of the congress who oppose their efforts and legislation, they are seeking to obtain for farmers, call it class legislation. Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas. who seems to be d leader of the bloc, voting in the December Forum, says: "As one who has actually advocated and supported these measure, I have no sympathy with class legislation, and need hardly say I see nothing of the evils of class legislation in the agricultural program" Senator Camper holds that "since our entire business structure in this country rests upon the land, any effort to improve and stabelize conditions surrounding the ultimate industry of food production is just as vital to the city man and to business in general as to the farmer himself. It is also true, or the senator points out. that "the farmer is the sole sur vivor of the era of domestic industry as he puts it. farming is the only business left that buys at retail and sells at wholesale; that pays what IS asked when it buys and accepts what is offered when it sells. The farm- CT remains merely producer of the necessities of human life After he has produced them other organiza- tions take the mover at their own price for distribution. This is true of no other important industry
 We notice that it has been charged that the farmers conference at Wash ington was called for the purpose of defeating the purpose of the agricul- tural bloc. Whether this statement be true or false we are unable to- say. We hope it is not true; we are desirous of seeing some legislation which will bring speedy relief to the agricultural masses of America.
 As Jerry Scanlan used to say, "cotton is on the incline go down."

The weather has been very incla- ment here for the past few weeks. People should try to take good care oi themselves under present weather con- ditions, as they are conducive to pneu- monia and other ills.
 We note that the correspondent from Pickles Gap, in last weeks issue, says: They are having a severe epidemic of flu" We sympathize with any people who are afflicted with flu"
 New Liberty, we most heartily en- dorse your article of last week. While it is not our purpose to criticlse our officers, when a horrible murder is committed in any community, as was the killing of MT. Hopkins and wife, we certainly need a man with "grlt. to run the murderers down. Whiskey, or what some people call "white mule, y is responsible for many crimes. The law in regard to prohibition should be rigidly enforced. This, we think, would greatly tend to lessen crime in our county.
