grafton to the poisoned fields will
commence. This means that every
day large crop of new weevils will
move into these poisoned fields, and
it is going to take continuous, thor
ough poisoning to protect to matur-
ity the crop which has been allow
ed to set by the earlier applications.
These two facts mean just this
Successful weevil control this year
is going to require more effort and
more poison per acre than has ever
been the case in the past. On the
other hand, wherever the land is
sufficiently fertile to justify such an
effort, there is much more assurance
of profit from the operation than is
usually the case. The increase in
the cost per acre brought about by
the increased number of applications
necessary will be far more than COM
pensated for by the fact that the wee
vii damage without poisoning will be
far greater than normal, and thus
the margin of profit on the operation
is tremendously increased. In other
words, a heavy weevil infestation
such as we have this year means a
greater expenditure per acre for poi
soning to successfully control it, but
it also means greater actual net
profit in dollars and cents per acre,
from the poisoning operations:

Secretary of War Weeks Outlines
Duties of Citizens,

In speaking before the graduating
class of Virginia Military Institute,
Secretary Of War Weeks said:-
Young men with such training are
better fitted for citizenship than
those who lack it.
Il appeal to you", the secretary
continued, whatever may be your
vocation after leaving this institu-
ton to devote some of your time to
the affairs of your country. 1t is
not necessary for you to hold public
office, but it is essential that you
give to your country the benefit of
the training and education you have
received here.
Resist all attempts to turn from
the representative form of govern
ment created by the constitution and
take an active interest in the af-
fairs of the community to the ex-
tent of seeing that only wise trust
worthy and courageous men are cleo
ted to public office.
This is the duty of theNgood cit
izen and, unless we can attain from
such schools as this and the multi
tude of schools maintained through
out the country men capable of per-
forming these important duties of
citizenship, then we must face the
certainty of failure of popular gov
ernment."

TRAVELLING MAN
DIES SUDDENLY
A. L. Brown Victim of Heart
Failure at Local Hotel
Friday.

A. L. Brown, travelling salesman
for the N X. Fairbanks Co., died
suddenly Friday evening at 1880 at
the Inez Hotel. He had been suffer-
ing Thursday and Friday with an at
tack of acute indigestion. Friday
evening. he notified the hotel man
agement that he would not go in to
supper, but would look up a physi-
clan instead. 1t is not known whe-
ther or not he consulted doctor. An
examination after death by local
physician brought out a statement
that he died from heart trouble, ag-
gravated by indigestion.
The body was removed to the Hart
man Undertaking parlors, awaiting
the arrival of the father or the de-
ceased, whose home is at Ridgeland,
a short distance north of Jackson.

Mrs. Bennie Dunn Flowers,

Dear Mrs. Flowers
While I feel personally the very
highest regard for the other candi-
dates for County superintendent of
old Lincoln county, yet have such
a high regard for you personally,
your worthy school attainments,
your years of ripe experience in the
county, and your continued success
as school woman, l am writing to
say that / have written to my father,
brother, and sister, Lula, asking
them to cast their votes for you.
do hope they will so vote.
The Superintendent of Schools of
this county where l now live is a
woman, and has been for two terms
of that office. She has made emf
nently good in that office, and the
people intend to re-elect her for a
third term. The State Superintend-
ent of Education of Texas is wo-
man, who has held the position for
two terms. She, too, has made good
in her office. A woman has a pecu-
liar fitness for the office of school
superintendent that gets right next
to both the school trustees, the pu-
pills and the patrons. If the people
of Lincoln will elect you, feel sure
they could not elect one more worthy
and fitted for that position, and
could not elect one who would give
better service and satisfaction than
you will give them.
With very best wishes for your
success, am
Sincerely,
M. Mccullough.

TURED IN ARKANSAS
Slayer of Robert ID. MOretOn Ar
rested and Now in Jackson
Jail.

perhaps, but it is fact that ever
since Christmas eve, 1921, when
Robert D. Moreton was shot and kill
ed at Quentin, his brother, Mr.. S. e.
Moreton has been relentlessly pur-
suing the man, John Beavers, who
did the shooting.
His efforts and the active support
especially in the past two months OF
Sheriff Mack Graham, of Covington
county, and Deputy Tom Boutwell,,
and Sheriff r.. c. Applewhite of Lin
coin county, were rewarded by the
message yesterday announcing the
arrest of Beavers.
Beavers was located at Brinkley,
Ark, several weeks ago, and Depu-
ty Boutwell, was sent there by Sher-
iff Graham where the arrest was
made on the Missouri line.
Beavers is now in the Kinds coun-
ty jail at Jackson where he will
remain until delivered to the Sheriff
of Covington county which has ju-
-risdiction. ..
Beavers wife is in Brinkley and
he has relatives in Sullivan's Hollow
in this vicinity.
Mr.. S. E. Moreton states that
Beavers shot down a man in cold
blood about eight years ago, his bro
ther being the second victim known.
The particulars of the tragic
death Of Mr.. R. D. Moreton are too
we'll known to need repetition at this
time.
