II we'll to ponder upon Mr.. Lambke,
lately of Kalamazoo. He IL 8 feet 4

Much Is expected OF the revised hurl-
ers, to wit: McWeeney, Faber, Hodge
and Wilkinson, all of whom had OPP
erations during the off season. Nc
weeney spent some time 1T West
Baden and took on considerable
weight. Faber had an operation on his
right knee and 1t was successful.
Hodge had his appendix removed and
Wilkinson parted company with his
tonsils.
Charlie Robertson also Is looked
upon as a lad of parts. He was with
the Sox two years ago and then was
relegated to Minneapolis. where he
became one of the leading pitchers of
the American Association. He IL a
finished workman, one Of those free
and easy pitchers. so II he does not

ent that he has not enough stuff to

SCRAPPING PROCESS HAS
STARTED AT NAVY YARD
Four Thousand Mechanics Laid or
in Washington Before Confer
ence Signed Treaty

Washington, Feb. 9.-The first eff
fects of the armament conference on
the employment situation were felt
today when several thousand me-
chanics and artificers in navy yards
we're temporarily laid off after Secre-
tary DENLY had ordered suspended
all ordnance work designed for the
naval vessels slated for "scrapping"
under the naval limitation treaty.
The instructions were issued in line
with President Harding's order of
yesterday suspending work on the
vessels under construction affected
by the treaty. The navy yards af-
fected are those at Washington, Phil
adelphia, Norfolk, Mare Island, Cal
ifornia and possibly Boston. The ord
nance plant at South Charleston, West
Virginia, was also affected similarly.
While these instructions were being
sent out President Harding was re-
ceiving the report for the American
arms delegation together with the
treaties growing out of the confer
ence. After receiving these docu-

BETTER PREPARED TEACH
ERS SECURED FOR COUNTY
A Big Increase in Coilege-Trained
Teachers-Second Grade Teach

County Superintendent of Schools
Ray Funderburk has made special
effort to get competent teachers en-
ployed in the schools Of the county
this year and II high grade certifi-
Gates and college training Is cri-
terion he has succeeded nobly.
The following comparison Of the
number of college trained teachers
holding high grade certificates will
serve TO show the progress that has
been made along this line:
Last year there were in the schools
of the county twenty-five teachers
who were college graduates. five COL
lege trained undergraduates. twenty
one holding high school certificates.
one hundred and thirty-five holding
first grade certificates and seventy
FIVE holding second grade certificates.
This year there are thirty-two college
graduates, thirty-two college trained
undergraduates. twenty-nine holding
high school certificates, one hundred
and seventy-four holding first grade
certificates and only ten holding sec
ond grade certificates.
BY comparison Of the above 1t will
be seen that there has been an In
crease over last year Of ten college
graduates, twenty seven college,
trained teachers, eight holding high
school acertificates. thirty-nine hold
Ing first grade certificates and a de-
crease of thirty-five second grade
teachers.

A Short Sketch About Weevil.
-d4 By z. Bright Tucker

The conditions that confront the
farmers of today seem to make some
of us have the "blues." With cotton
bringing from sixteen to eighteen
cents, while it used to bring from
twenty to forty cents, and with corn
and other farm products bringing a
low price; with high price fertilizer
so high it will take the whole cotton
crop of an average farmer to pay for
the fertilizer he uses, we need not
wonder why so many farmers are
leaving the farm to seek public work.
The coming of the boil weevil is an
other blow to our farmers which will
doubtless cause more farmers to leave
their farms and find other work.
Therefore it is the duty of everyone
to help destroy and do all they can to
eliminate the pests that are the chief
enemies of the cotton plant, and des-
troy yearly 100000 bales of cotton in
the United States.
The boil weevil was first discovered
in the United States in the year 1892
around Brownsville, Texas, where it
was introduced from Mexico. We
do not know the exact number of
years the boil weevil has been exist
ing in Mexico. 1t had been there a
good many years before it was first
seen in the United States. That is
the reason the name is often applied
to the weevils as the Mexican boil
weevil. From their first appearance
in Texas in 1892 these insects have
spread continuously northward and
eastward until they have reached Geor-
gia and South Carolina, where they
are doing a considerable amount Of
damage to the cotton and have now
made their appearance in North Car
olina and in different sections OF this
county. The boil weevil was seen in
Georgia in 1915.
The writer has seen several Of the
insects which he describes as follows:
The cotton boil weevil is small gray
ish beetle little less than quarter
of an inch long and has long bill ex-
tending out from its head which is
used to puncture the bolls. The in
sect lays its eggs in punctures made
by the female weevil in the buds Of
the cotton plants which are called
squares and in the bolls.
The larvae Tor young) which are a
little larger than the adults live
in the squares and holes and feed
upon the contents. As rule the punc-
tured squares drop TO the ground.
But most Of the bolls remain on the
plant and become stunted and dry up
and therefore the cotton is useless.
The insects pass the winter in the
adult state. When the plants are de-
stroyed in the fall the puctured bolls
drop of as a result Of frost and then
dry up and rot. The pests then leave
them seeking shelter under the rub
bish of the fields and adjoining woods.
The United States Department Of
Agriculture has conducted expert
ments to discover the best means Of
ridding or checking the country Of
these insects. The following is some
Of the chief methods:
The fields ought to be cleaned In the
fall by uprooting the stalks Of the old
plants, collecting with them the fallen

Mr.. Hernig Tells Why He Can't Make
n Five Cont Loaf

For some time there has been a
demand over the country for a hye
cent loaf of bread and in some OF the
larger cities this demand has been
supplied to an extent. Seeing this
fact In the papers, some one cut out
q piece and sent to Mr. Jack Hernig,
the Monroe baker, and said Better
get busy or Wei have our bread
brought by express from New York"
The note was not signed. Mr.. Her
mig has baked "up North and know
ing tie kind of bread they make. he
SAYS that people here would not have
it. He also came across an article
In a national publication. Baking
Technology" which explains why
the five cent loaf is sometimes Offer
ed in the cities. The article is as
follows:
Among those who are earnestly
working for the return Of the scent

pers began to "sensationalize" the
fact that certain department stores

bakers before him. 49,.

ence.

important step because it destroys all
of the weevils and larvae that have
gathered there. The field ought to be
plowed deep in the fall and prepared

early maturing varieties of seed and
by fertilizing when necessary.
