Alleged Georgia Crook Posed as Con
stituent' and Succeeded in Work
ing" Senators for Various Sums.

Senator Nathaniel B. Dial, demo-
crat. of South Carolina, is responsible
for uncovering a clever system for
imposing on senator's and representa-
tives. and he has even caused the ar
rest of young man believed to be a
leader of the smooth crooks.
A young man giving the name of a
prominent family in Newberry, S. C.,
called upon the senator and explained
that he would appreciate little hnan-
cial assistance in enabling him to re-
turn TO Newberry. He spoke with such
ease regarding conditions and people
in the senator's home state that the
senator did not hesitate to advance
him SIS.
A few days later he learned his
mistake when he found that several
other senators had undergone similar
treatment. The smooth stranger made
the mistake OF forgetting his first call
on Dial. and when he called a second
time he was promptly arrested. At the
police station he gave the name OF ID.

senators as one who had obtained
money from them in the role OF con-

France Raising Cotton
In Niger River Valley
West African Section Will Be Irrigat-
ed and Worm Precautions Taken.

CAIRO, Egypt-Steady progress is
being made in the establishment OF
the Niger river valley cotton expert
ment station, located in west Africa.
The work is being done under the
auspices of the French Colonial au
thorities OF Occidental Africa, who
have selected DR. Herbert H. Forbes,
former dean of the College of Agricul-
ture OF Arizona, to report on the pro-
posed irrigation project.
The French consortium committee
has allotted the money for the Station,
and definite installation will be begun
as soon as the credits are in hand.
Cotton seed and a selection OF cot
ton plants have been sent to the sta
ton from the United States and Egypt.
Cultivated lands in the vicinity OF ku-
likoro and El-Ouabadji. on the Niger
above Timbuktu and bordering on
French Senegal, are to be used for the
experimental work. The first cultures
will give returns during the winter OF
1922-23. These will be used to secure
a sufficient stock of pure cotton seed
for the 1923-24 season.
The irrigation work contemplates
ultimately an irrigation dam similar to
the Assouan dam on the Nile Tenn
porary pumping stations to care tor
the l923-24 crop already have been IN
stalled. Every means OF preventing
cotton plant diseases and worm inva-
sions will be adopted.

"Cigarets are not only more fash

cheaper Perhaps this explains their
increased popularity" said Med.
"Cigarets are now the cheapest in

are having a price war among them
selves that has lowered prices 10
very attractive levels.
"A reason. perhaps as pertinent
as cheapness OF price is the strong

is that during this eclipse certain
stars occupying a position in the sky
near the sun will seem to be dis
placed slightly away from the sun.
o Absolute proof of the theory can
be secured only during a total eclipse
of the sun, for under sucn condi-

What we are testing IS one or
