PLAY GAME OF GOLF-PASS-
ED THROUGH SOUTH CARO-
LIMA THURSDAY MORNING ON
ATLANTIC COAST LINE.

On Board President Harding's
Special Train, March Refreshed
\ by a good nights rest, President
Harding was looking forward enthu-
siasticalIy to the first day of his va
cation when he arose this morning
aboard the special train which is car
rying the executive and his party to
Florida for a weeks rest and relaxa-
ton. Since leaving Washington late
yesterday the special had made good
time and early today was skirting the
lower South Carolina coast. 1t is
scheduled to arrive at st. Augustine

ton headquarters at 2 o'clock this

President Harding and the MEM
hers of his party, which in addition
to Mrs. Harding, Secretary Christian
and Brigadier General Sawyer, his
personal physician, includes 'Attor-
ney General Daugherty, Speaker Gill
lett of the house and Under Secre-
tary of State Fletcher, all appeared
to be enjoying the trip immensely.
The president intended to go out for
. round of golf when he reached St..
Augustine this afternoon.
While his vacation plans for the
week had not been announced early
today, it was Understood MI. Hard
ing might take a trip down the Flor
ida coast as the guest Of Edward B.
Mclean, publisher of the Washing:
ton Post, on the latter's houseboat.
Elaborate precautions are being
taken by the Atlantic Coast Line rail-
way officials to protect the special
train on which the president is trav-
cling. Every yard of track is being
inspected by a pilot train running
ahead Of the special, with the gen.
ersi roadmaster Of the line riding on
the rear Of the pilot to make the in
specdon. No train is permitted to be
operated on any switch turned in the
track between the special and pilot
train. A picked crew of conductors
and trainnren is operating the special
and the general road foreman of en-
sgineers is riding in the engine 'cab.
One of the last things attended to
by President Harding before leaving
Washington yesterday was the pay
ment of his income tax. His check in
Guided $4,000 as income tax on the

THE BOIL WEEVIL
IN WINTER QUARTERS
Temperature Not Sole Determining
Factor.

actor.
Clemson College.-Theories as to
how cold affects the weevil appear
to be numerous as the people. Cold
is not the determining factor for
successful ~wintering of the boil wee
vii or other. insects. Moisture is fully
as important, and in a great many
instances it is decidedly more import
ant than temperature. When the
weevl goes into Information, it loses
a certain amount Of body weight,
which enables the. insect to sustain
itself during low temperatures in
changeable weather. The amount OF
temperature necessary to kill a boil
weevil depends therefore on the To-
cation where it is spending the win
ter, the death rate being greater in
locations that have the higher mos
ture. A higher temperature with ex'
cessive moisture is more fatal than
a low temperature under compare,
lively dry conditions. Continuou:
uniform weather is less fatal than
radically changeable weather at win
ter temperatures.
Good farmers take advantage Of
the above facts and practice the very
meritorious method of clean farming
which does away with weeds, stubbl1
dead grass and other similar places
furnishing favorable moisture condi
lions for successful Information.

RAILWAYS BEGIN
FINAL DEFENSE
HEARINGS ABOUT TO CON-
CLUDE AFTER SEVERAL
WEEKS OF INVESTIGATION
AND DISCUSS ION ARGU-
MENT BEFORE COMMISSION.

Washington, March 9.-Rail-
roads began their final defense to-
day of existing levels of freight and
passenger rates before the inter
state commerce commission when
attorneys gave oral arguments
which will conclude the hearings
that have continued for several
months. Henry Wolfe Bike of the
Pennsylvania, Fred P. Wood, gen.
eral counsel of the Southern Pacific
and Frank Gwathmey of the Sou
,thern railway insisted that on legal
or economic grounds had the mass
of testimony taken disclosed the
ground for the commission to make
general reductions Of rates.
The railroads gave way to their
opponents just before the days ses-
sion concluded, and Fred W. Put
nam of the Minnesota railroad
commission, speaking for all state
regulative bodies associated in the
hearings, entered upon the pre-
liminaries of an argument which
will he continued tomorrow. State
commissions are asking first, he
said, for passenger fare reductions
on the grouad, they are too high for
the traffic to bear and that no por-
ton Of railroad charges, Il reduced,
"would be more quickly reflected in
the actual cost to the ultimate con-
sumer."
Mr.. Bike used railroad earnings
statistics, extensively placed in the
record to formulate his conclusion
that no reduction can be granted.
Railroads are entitled to a s per
cent return on the value Of property
used in transportation, he contended,
whether this, figure is fixed in the
future by law OF set up by the COM
mission as a standard and the latest
earnings reports indicate they are
now making but 40 per cent g.
Mr.. Wood took the same position
asserting that mo greater blow
could be dealt the creditors Of car
riers' than that involved in a gen.
eral rate reduction. Mr.. Gwathmey
added that mo grounds exist for
the assumption that there can be
any immediate stimulation of bust
ness by ratio reductions.
>State commissions, shippers and
business and industrial representa-
tives Will have the next W. days to
elaborate their arguments in the
case and railroad attorneys will
conclude the entire hearing Satur.
day with their rebuttal.
Commissioner Lewis interrupted
Mr.. Woods argument today to ask
how railroads intend to proceed
under "the promise of lower rates
which they made to the country by
the r~esoluti, Of their executives in
instituting complaints before the
railroad labor board asking for fur
ther general reduction in wages.

The powerful bandit army is growing

bandits, who also are holding Anton
gether with the latter's 5-year.old son.
Holm was born In Norway, but is
a naturalized American citizen. His
nearest relative lives at Mcoreton,
n. ID.
A body of armed bandits entered
the Holm residence at Chen Yank,
seized the missionary in the presence
Of his wife and two sons and marched
him off into the country.
So far as is known here, all the
kidnapped missionaries are safe and
and are permitted to com
municate with their families
Reports from Honan indicate that
the bandit activities are becoming
more serious, with the outlaws APP
