SOW them carefully over the
field. Let them eat the cotton
(which they seem to be doing
anyhow), and then at the proper
time you can harvest the weev-
lis and sell them.
Let's see, noW-what could
boil weevils be used for?
Since they eat nothing but
cotton, it is very likely that
their innards are sorter tough
and stringy. We might cross
them with spiders and teach
them to do their own spinning.
That would cut out the expense
Of building and operatig so many
cotton mills, and it would release
millions of mill-hands and give
them leisure to enjoy life.
Boil Weevils, when fully ripe,
have got a good deal Of juice in
them. This could be pressed out
and used as lard for cooking
purposes. The name Of it would
be "Bugoline'', of course. Then
the dried pulp could be worked
up into some new kind Of break
fast food, to be known as
"Weevil Flakes" or "Bugum", OF
or something like that. A page
lad in the Saturday Evening
Boast ought to sell it like hot
cakes.
There is no telling how many
uses might be found for the boil
weevil. He might be used to
make nearly anything from pot
ted ham to corn likker.
So let's not be too fast about
exter111inating the boil weevil.
He may be an angel in disguise.
The fool-killer., 1922-10-01
DON'T SCARE YOURSELF.

I reckon we are the doggond~
est smartest race Of two-legged
critters that ever lived in this
world. Anyhow, we are always
finding new solutions for every
problem under the sun. Mrs.
Anne Besant has found one. She
says she believes the mental and
sexual faculties are opposed to
each other.
In an Australian paper that
comes to this office Mrs. Resant
is quoted as saying:
1.-The more cultured men be-
come the less pronounced do the
reproductive instincts become. I
want to see a great increase of
mental ability"
Now let's see about that. Just
suppose, for instance, that Mrs.
Besant's theory turns out to be
true. Then a great increase Of
menta! ability would shore-to-
goodness end all our troubles.
Just let man get so wise, so in
Itelectual, so full of knowlege,
that he lost all inclination to re-
produce himself, and all the
problems that have vexed hui
manity for many thousands of
years would be solved at last.
WAR would come to an end.
Drunkenness and prostitution
would vanish from the earth.
Poverty would exist no more.
Crime would cease to be.
But wait a minute.
There is just one dark blot on
the fair picture. There wouldn' t
be anybody alive to enjoy it
unless it is true, as the Bible
lStudents tell us, that millions of
lpeople now living will never die,
and that the dead are going to
be raised to such a state of per
Election that they will not die any
Imore.
The fool-killer., 1922-10-01

think it is, but am not going to
be too sure about it till I see fur
ther.
AS to the inside workings of
the thing, I can't tell you much
about that. [ am neither elec--
trician nor professor of physics.
But common sense teaches me a
few things. I know that a flee
dog can trot across a bridge and.
shake it when a heavily loaded
wagon would not cause even a
tremor. The bridge is "tuned''
to a certain key Or pitch of vibra--
ton. The trotting Of the dog.
hits that key and starts it to.
vibrate. Enogh trotting dogs
would soon shake it down, but
any number of loaded wagons:
would not bulge it.
Roughly speaking, that is the.
principle on which DR.. Abrams
is working. He says he has dis
covered that everything in ma
ture is Radioactive, and he has
invented an apparatus delicate
enough to record the vibrations.
He says each disease has it's own
peculiar vibration as shown ON
the dial of his instrument, and
then the same vibration given
with more intensity will cure the
disease.
Once upon a time the great.
singer Caruso, after a banquet,
sat at the table tapping with his
finger upon his empty wine galss.
Having discovered the pitch
Or note at which it vibrated, he
sat back and sang that note at
the glass and shivered it to bits.
That's the idea. Vibration.
And if diseases have a certain
vibratory rate, and if an instru-
ment has been made to detect
and record that rate, and to in
tensify it, then it seems reason
able that any disease might be
put out of business just as easily
as Caruso shivered the wine
glass with his voice.
Other doctors in different
parts Of the world are focking
to San Francisco to learn the
new way of healing and to get
the instruments. But the gen.
eral run of old-fashioned drug
doctors are up in arms against
it and declare that Abrams is
a humbug. Maybe so. Well
just wait and see.
This is an age Of wonders. We
believe it is the dawning Of the
Ga4en Age. We are looking for
something to happen that will
do away with sickness and death.
The Bible strongly inti1nates
that these blessings will come
through the Jews. DR.. Abrams
is a Jew. It is worth thinking
Iabout.
| Good-by. Come again.

USE THE LITTLE DEVIL

ties in it. Anyhow, want to
pass it along.
l have been reading a good
deal here of late about the boil
weevil, and it seems that he is
getting to be such power in
the land that the whole cotton
raising industry of the South is
seriously threatened: / live in
the South, but not exactly in a
coJton-raising section, so [ have
not seen much Of it with my own
eyes.
The situation is so serious
that Senator Smith Of South
Carolina has proposed that the
entire South take a year off and
plant no cotton at ali for one
year, thus giving Mr.. Weevil a
chance to starve to death, as he
will not eat anything except cot
ton. The Senator from South
Carolina thinks that is the only
way to get rid Of the boil Weevil,
and he is probably right.
But looky here!
AS I stated at the opening of
this chapter, I want to make
suggestion.
Maybe it isn't necessary to get
rid Of the boil weevil. If our in
Ventive geniuses would put their
heads together and study right
hard, maybe they could discover
or invent some way to use the
little devil. What | mean is this
think up some way to convert
him into an asset and make
him pay for his feed. Why, it
hasn't been many years siItce
cotton seed were a waste pro-
duct and not worth anything at
all. The gins hauled them off
and dumped them in gullies or
in the river to get rid of them.
But today the seed is about the
most valuable part of the cotton
crop. What made the change ?
Simply this: The people went
to work and discovered some use
for the seed. If that hadn't been
done they would still be throw
ing away half of the cotton crop.
Now what / suggest is this
Let's do the boil weevil just like
we did the cotton seed-find a
use for him. When a crop is
thrust upon us which will plant
itself and produce such an abun-
dant yield without any atten-
ton at all, it seems like a rather
short-sighted policy to be want
ing to exte11ninate it.
From all accounts, the boil
weevil is just such a crop. It is
said that each married couple of
weevils can raise 100000
children in the course of a year;
In other words, if you have q
bushel Of seed weevils to start
with in the spring, you can har-
vest a crop of six million bush.
els. Think of your profits! Ever
at twenty cents a bushel-ano
anybody that wanted weevils al
all would be willing to pay that
much your profits would be
over a million dollars a year
And then to think that people
are trying to stamp out and ex
terminate such a crop as that
The only thing necessary tt
raise a crop of weevils would bt

ANOTHER NEW THING
UNDER THE SUN


late King of Israel, were here to-
day he would have to revise his
old saying. For indeed the new
things are coming so thick and
fast that we can hardly count
'em.
Yes, honey, I am always look
ing after the new things. Some
of them are humbugs, to be sure,
and some Of them are not. The
o71ly way to get the benefit Of
the good new things as they
come along is to "prove all things
and hold fast to that which is
good" as the Rev. Paul used to
say.
If we are so skeered of the
bad new things that we refuse
to investigate anything that is
new, we are going to slip up and
miss a lot of mighty good things
that we might have had.
That's the gospel according to
Pearson.
All right.
And now if nothing goes
wrong with the running-gear Of
my gab-trap for the next few
minutes, this is going to be a
sockdoliger of a Sermon on the
very newest way to knock old
man Charles H. Death off Of his
roost.
There is a little bald-headed
son of Abraham out about old
Frisco who claims to have rung
the bell for shore-certain. This
here son Of Abraham that I am
talking about is a doctor man,
but besides being a doctor he
seems to be also great scientist
and expert electrician. His name
is DE-. Albert Abrams, and he
has been working on his idea for
a number Of years, trying to find
out if there was some way to
make electricity do it all and let
the pills and powders take a
rest.
Well, he says now that he has
succeeded far beyond his wild
est dreams. The pil-boxes and
the bottles Of belly-wash can now
go to thunder and stay there.
Electricity will tell you what's
the matter and cure you while
you wait, and the only way any
body can die will be to get so
tickled over their good health
that they will laugh themselves
to death.
The new method is called the
'Electronic Reactions o f
Abrams" and it seems to be a
sort of doubled-and-twisted twin
cousin to the radio telephone.
It doesn't seem a bit more
strange or unreasonable than
the radio, and if one is true the
other may be. With my own
ears I have heard music and talk
ling which came 800 miles
through the naked air. I know
that is a fact. And yet just q
flew years ago that would have
|been a miracle. Anything that
we thought couldn't be done is q
miracle until it happens often
enough to make it common, and
then we wonder why it used tC
seem so strange.
;: Same way with DR.. Abrams
