there is no reason why every land
owner in Abbeville and elsewhere
should not give his farms personal
supervision. All farmers must get
back to the farms.

WEEVIL MIGRATION
is NOW BEGINNING
Farmers Are Urged to Use Good
Judgment and Not Become
Panicky.

Clemson College, Aug. 17.-Fall
migration of the weevil has begun
in some sections where the cotton
crop is not very good and where
fruit formation has practically dis
continued. Otherwise, the situation
during the past week showed no i'm
portant change, square infestation
continuing to vary in different To-
calities from very low to IS percent
or more, according to reports re-
ceived today by Prof. A. F. Conradi,
entomologist, who therefore advises
continuation of cultivation where
possible and of thorough square COL
lectingi from the plants and - the
ground.
Whether poison applications should
be made after %migrations depends
on conditions. Migration is not yet
heavy enough at any point to war
rant discrimination of poisoning.
When migration becomes severe and
general, no profit may be expected
from poisoning.
During the past week there have
been breezy and dewless nights es-
pecially in the Piedmont section. Poi
soning on such nights is not recon-
mended, but the application should
be made during the first favorable
nights though it be a week or so
late according to the schedule.
Old Methods and Custom. No Long,
er Dependable.
Farmers are urged to use good
judgment and not to become panicky
When the weevils become numerous
80 that all squares r punctured
and young bolls are attacked, n or
even two applications or poison may
be recommended in order to protect
as many of the young bolls as pos
sible.
The attitude of the farmers is not
always encouraging. Some have kept
up cultivation and square collecting
diligently while others "laid off" a.
bout August /. It must be empha-
sized that these old methods and
customs will not be satisfactory I'M
der weeyil conditions, and those who
have not yet become reconciled to
more diligent methods of farm man
agement throughout the entire grow
ing season will become so convinced
if they continue their efforts to
grow cotton.
Again this season there are MAJ
striking illustrations of the great
Importance of soil building as the
fundamental operation in weevil
control. The success and profit that
may result from poisoning, square
collecting or other direct weevil con-
troll methods is based on efficient soil
building. = tn -, .

Life Of q Five Dollar Bill.

Paper money wears out rapidly and
has to be replaced frequently. The
life Of s. note, for example, is on
the average about ten months, and In
New York city is about two months
less than the average, owing mainly
to the more rapid rate at which 1t
circulates. This same tendency Is seen
In the higher rate at which bank de-
pOsits turn over In New York city
than In other parts Of the country.
The work Of keeping the paper cur.
rency In good condition is done very
largely by the Federal Reserve banks,
which In the course Of their daily bus
iness handle all forms Of currency and
coin, eliminating that which Is unit
for further circulation. This service Is
large item In their annual costs Of
operation. Last year, for instance, the
supply Of currency and coin caused an
expenditure at the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York amounting to about
$2,875, 900, Of which somewhat more
than one-third represented the cost

WIDER RIBBONS FOR GIRDLES
Strands Resemble Strips Of Metal Bro'
cade; Excellent Means OF Doing
Over Old Dresses.

Ribbons of more width are used for
twisted girdles and for panels at the
sides of skirts. They look like strips
of metal brocade, and really that is
what they are, though woven in ribbon
widths, In some instances whole
bodice is made Of this metal or plain
brocaded ribbon and one interesting
gown had the draped bodice running
off into a sash that tied in a big bow
at one side of the back and fell In
long train over the silver-cloth under
skirt.
This is an excellent means OF doing
over old dresses, for bit OF new rib
bon added to the old foundation does
wonders in the way of freshening
frock to face new seasons wear.
And for this coming season. particu-
larly. one will have to resort to good
deal of cleverness In the way OF max
ing over, for the gowns OF last win

when slipped from their hiding places.
However, no discouragepent Is neces'

THE FALL SKIRTS
LONG and Short Effect Combined
in Latest Garment.
Two-MateriaI Outfits Promise to BE
In LimelIght; Contrast to De-
veIop the Trimming.

Out Of the mixture of the newer
fashions that are being presented to
the public as advance models, says a
fashion authority in the New York
Times, we CLEAN the following leading
facts which are pertinent to the de-
yelopment of the fall fashions and
which will be more than useful to any
one who has to have her clothes de-
signed at the present time.
Long skirts there will be beyond the
shadow of any doubt. but they can
have interstices Of short spaces incor-
pOrated in their making 80 that. at
one point they will be quite short
while at exactly the opposite points
they will fairly be trailing on the
ground.
Many Of the fall dresses will be
made up on a combination Of two ma
terials, say, velvet and silk, or velvet
and wool or silk and wool or silk and
fur fabric, or velvet and real fur.
When this is the case there will be
little or no extraneous trimming and
the contrast of the two fabrics will be
used to develop the trimming interest
Of the gown.
Waistlines will be long-well over
the hips-and they will at that point
be adorned with trimmings Of beads
or twisted ribbons or velvets made into
rolls or any other sash material which
happens to harmonic with the general
interests of the gown itself.
The neckline will, in all cases, be as
plain as possible, the batteau line be
ing the one which is most favored
from among them all. At this point
there will be absolutely no trimming
but the line of the gown left entirely
plain will be left to hold the hOnors
for the costume at that point.
Sleeves will be wide and long. They
will be embroidered heavily and often
the embroidery applied at this point
will be the only sign Of trimming In
that direction. There will be the
whole plain gown which is embroid
cred in many startling and vivid colors
over the sleeve ends and which viii
have the rest of its surface nothing
but a plain color and chaste line tt
make 1t famous.

ity to worm secrets from diplomatic
circles and untangle problems to
which she held but the slightest
clues?
These, in brief, are the questions
which puzzled-and still puzzle-the
master minds of the United States
secret service and the officials of the
Department of Justice connected with
the defeating Of Germanic propaganda
on this side Of the Atlantic. That

concealed under the cloak of the
single letter III" was sufficiently we'll
hidden never to be completely uncov-
cred.
The closest approach to the actual
location of this parsonage was in the
arrest of a self-styled baroness In
Tennessee, Immediately after this
charming woman had succeeded In
penetrating to the innermost secrets
of Fort Oglethorpe and number Of
other important posts In the eastern
section Of the country. In the pres.
entation Of the governments case at
the ensuing trial, the United States
district attorney made the following
statement:
"When war was declared between
France and Germany, the husband Of
the Baroness was en- route TO Lon
don. While in the middle Of the
Mediterranean, between Suez and
Marseilles, he made arrangements to
land at the latter port and 60 from
there to London instead Of continuing
his voyage by way OF Gibraltar.
However, the Baroness sent him
wireless just before he reached Mar
seilles, advising him that war was
about to be declared and that 1t would
be better for him to remain aboard
ship. When the ship touched Mar
seilles. the baron offered $1,000 for
an automobile to take him to the Ital-
ian frontier, but was unable to secure
a vehicle. He continued his voyage
and landed at Southampton on the
day following declaration Of war with
Germany. He was interned 1mme-
diately end remained In camp for
three weeks, during which the
baroness intervened with number
of British officials and secured the re-
lease Of her husband upon his promise
as an officer and a gentleman not to
take arms against England during
the war, a pledge In which she
joined.
"Shortly after his release from the
internment camp, the captain and his
wife sailed for New York, cloaking
their identity under the mask Of Or
binary steerage passengers. The
Baroness has admitted that she had
been in almost constant communities
tion with Germany, both by letter and
cablegram, and that she had been on
| terms Of intimacy with several mem
bers Of the kaiser's family"
| But while-like Wolf Won Ingel,

oness' admitted the existence Of {

of the Teutonic forces in America.
she maintained that she herself had
no idea as to his identity, for all her
instructions had been signed merely
with the single letter "H."

memoirs Of the kaiser or some Of the
