A Hint Toward Easy Riding

Throw out the clutch before going over a bump in the road. The car then merely coasts over the mound, the shock is reduced. and the occu- pants are prevented from hitting the ceiling of the car The shock Is still further reduced by approaching such Instructions at an angle, thus going over them one wheel at time.

~Musseisv at the Shoals

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Mir Wood calls attention to the spelling of the adjective qualifying the word shoals. Should 1t be mus cle or mussel? If the former, why Is there anything about sinew and tissue that is suggestive of great river, about three miles wide, above Florence? The puny little muscles of & pugllists arm gives not the least hint of the immense, irresistible power to which the attention of Messrs. Ford and Edison and the commercial world has been directed.
 Mussel: This word carries the imagination, at once, to the shining, pearly little shellfish that are seen in decorative beauty on the sand banks in the debris at the bottom, all along the broad and beautiful Tennessee. MT. Ford will possibly prevent the development of pearl industry The deep water will cover beautiful beds of mussel shells.
 I was a citizen of the Tennessee river valley for 50 years. As min ister-Methodist- preached sor years in the valley, and I adminis- tered the ordinance of baptism in this silvery stream. Point: l know whereof I affirm, and l spell the word "mussel."
 Gen. Joseph Wheeler's brigade ford ed the Tennessee at the shoals, mak - ing but one short swim.
 Cattle waded into the shallow stream, going from "toe head" islet to islet, grazing upon the rich grass and tender cane. Catfish and cattle were feeding in near proximity.

COURT UPHOLDS
MARY PICKFORD
States Highest Tribunal Rules il
Favor of Moving Picture Star.
Action in Nevada.

Carson, New, June MARY Pick
ford's divorce from Owen Moore was
sustained today when the Nevada su-
preme court affirmed the order Of Dis
trict Judge Frank P. Langan quash-
ing service of summons in the action
brought by Attorney General Fowler
to set aside the decree granted the
movie star.
The divorce of Miss Pickford from
Owen Moore, also q screen favorite,
at Minden, New, March 20, 1920,
precipitated an action by the state
for the dissolution of the decree on
the ground that Miss Pickford's resi-
dence in the state had not covered the
period required by law. The district
court, in which the divorce was grant
ed, was asked to review its decision
and reverse itself, but held that the
action had been regular and that the
decree would stand.
Attorney General Fowler then ap-
pealed to the state supreme court,
charging that the divorce was obtain
ed through fraud and collusion on
the part of Miss Pickford and con-
tending that the Minden court had
no jurisdiction.
The defense answered that the
state was not an aggrieved party and,
therefore, had no authority under
the Nevada law to prosecute the ac-
ton. Arguments were heard here

BE PREPARED TO
POISON BOIL WEEVIL

"In time of peace, prepare for
war;" is proverb more or less in
disfavor in international negotia-
tions just now, but 1T still appEes to
fighting the cotton boil weevil, says
the United States Department of
Agriculture. Late poisoning is like
" to hurt the farmer more than it
hurts the weevil, and the only way
to be sure of getting an "even
break" with the weevl is to be
supplied in advance with calcium
arsenate and dusting machinery.
eve find every year." says B. r.
Coad, director of the boil weevil
laboratory, chat many farmers
fail to realize their danger early
enough to start making desperate
efforts to poison after the infesta-
ton has become very heavy. They
scurry around trying to get calcium
arsenate and dusting machinery,
and nearly always there is consid-
cradle delay. Even when they get
the poison and the machinery, it is
extremely difficult to control weevil
infestation after it becomes severe.
There are so many weevil stages
present in the squares and bolls
that some of them come out every
day and poison must be kept con-
stantly on the plants if any good is
to be done by it. This very greatly
increases the expense of poisoning
Then, if there comes even a short
spell of rainy weather, such con-
troll as has been gained is lost and
the farmer has gone to heavy ex-
pense for nothing. We advise all
cotton planters to be extremely
careful about starting late season
poisoning. In a few cases, it has
been successful, but at heavy cost
and only under the most favorable
conditions. The only safe course is
to be prepared to poison at the
right time. Write the Delta Labora-
tory, Tallulah, Louisiana, for in
structions "When and How to Poi

COTTON GENERALLY
I'm BAD CONDITION
In Only Few Spots Did 1t Make
Progress During The
Past Week

Washington; June 2.-Summary
of weather and crop conditions for
the week ending May 80.
Weather was generally more IA
vorable in the western cotton states
but there was too much rain and
during the latter part of the week
too cool in the east Gulf States for
satisfactory growth. Early planted
cotton made fair progres' and stand
in Oklahoma, but still needs cult
vation in most central and eastern
portions of that state. While wea-
ther conditions improved in Texas,
there is little change in the con-
dition which is mostly poor, ex-
cept fairly good in the southern
portion. Cotton made excellent pro-
gress in Arkansas, except where toe
wet in the southern portion, bu1
frequent rains hindered cultivation
in Mississippi, Alabama, and Geor'
gia. Progress was very good in ex-
treme southern Georgia, but poor
elsewhere there as a result Of cool,
cloudy weather. The latter part OF
the week was too cool in tho Caro-
Enas, otherwise conditions were ia.
vorable in most sections Of those
states.

TO TRY FOR SUNKEN GOLD
British Admiralty Fits Out Ship te
Recover Laurentic's Treasure


Recover Laurentic's Treasure
London.-What will probably rank
as the most successful submarine
treasure seeking expedition ever in
augurated is now on the point of
leaving Portsmouth dock yard to re-
sumo operations.
This particular venture is managed
by the British admiralty and the
treasury jointly, and it's business is
to recover the gold bullion which
went to the bottom in the liner .Lau-
rentic when she was torpedoed in
Lough Swilly during the war.
Already some or million
pounds worth of the gold has been
salved. There yet remain 2 or 8 mil
lion pounds at the bottom of the
sea which the salvage ship Racer
will try to recover.
Modern methods Of submarine
treasure hunting are very different
from those that used to be in vogue.
1t is no longer necessary to use hand
pumps.
