Oakland Wins Over Frederick In An
Exciting Game.
Quite few fast games of basket
ball have been pulled off on the local
floor this season, but none yet has
equalled the one played here on Mon
day night when Oakland A. A. took
the crack Frederick Y. NJ. c. A. five
into camp by the score of IS to 28.
The play all through was fast and
exciting, the accurate shooting and
passing of both teams bringing the
spectators to their feet time after
time. The first half ended with the
visitors leading, 1917, and shortly
after the second half was under way
Behrens and Bremen Gagged couple
of long shots for Frederick, giving
them lead of five points. Hoyt fol-
lowed with three long, spectacular
shots and Hanst Gagged two good ones,
putting the locals in the lead, which
they held until the close of the game.
Oakland took the floor minus the
services of Frantz, regular guard,
who is out with twisted knee. Hanst
played the guard position, later NOV
ing to forward when Rice was forced
to retire on account of an injury. De-
Berry was then substituted for Hanst
at guard. The exceptional shooting
of Hoyt and Scott for Oakland, and
Behrens and Downes for Frederick
were the features. Bolden played up
to his usual form and Hanst and De-
Berry also did fine work. Linups

NEW BOIL WEEVIL
METHOD EFFECTIVE
SAY FLORIDA MEN

Keen interest in the new method
of fighting the boil weevil, worked
out by the Florida State Experiment
Station, is being taken by the Bu-
reau of Entomology of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The new method consists OF the re-
moval and destruction of all squares
present ON the plants at a time when
about two squares to the plant are
present. his operation destroys a
large number of the weevils and is
Immediately followed by a thorough
dnsting TO poison the terminal buds
where the remaining weevils are
forced to feed.
In experiments conducted IL
northern Florida the treated fields
averaged 439 pounds of seed cotton
per acre in all tests. The average
aged only 164 pounds of seed cotton
pe racre in all tests. The average
cost of treatment for the entire sea
son was $1.57 per acre.
This method apparently offers .
means of controlling the boil Weevl
on 10y yielding land, on which it has
so far been Improbable to use the
dusting method. A very large proper
ton Of the cotton crop is produced
on low yielding land, on which 1t mas
Entomology urges widespread ano
thorough trial of this method during
the coming season wherever the con
diiions appear suitable for its use.

WARMEST DAY FOR
CHRISTMAS HERE
FOR MANY YEARS
Business Interests of This Country
Have Never Before Been Presented
With Such Favorable Weather For
Pre=Christmas Shopping.

The people of this country enjoyed
the warmest Christmas Day this
year in many years. The entire week
before Christmas was fair, but the
former part of the week was cold.
The business interests of this
country have probably never been
presented with rs favorable and as
long continued Il period of pre-
Christmas shopping weather as this
year Each additional day OF
pleasantness was accompanied with
the fear that that was the last.
However, the pretty weather lasted
throughout the week. Though hop
ing for bit more of the same for
their after Christmas sales, they can
hardly ask it.
The fairest of all Christmas
weather, which has prevailed all
week, lasted until Tuesday of this
week. Then rain clouds crowded the
sun out, and it is feared that the
rest of the week will be bad.

WELCOME TO THE
GRAND OLD STATE
OF MISSISSIPPI
Mississippi Holds Out a Broad, Corr
dial and Tolerant Welcome To
People From All Parts of World
Who Are Seeking Homes.

In its civic and religious life, Mis-
siSsippi holds out Il broad. cordial and
tolerant. welcome to those from all
parts of the world who may come in
Il spirit of righteous and patriotic
citizenship seeking place in which
to cast their lot.
Perhaps in no state in the Union
is found a more thorough and cordial
relationship existing between the
people of the towns and cities and
those of the country districts than
in Mississippi
This feeling of common fellowship
makes for healthy and stable public
thought, of oneness of purpose FOR
the common good. and is free from
those elements of differences, dis
cord and unrest with which some
communities are unfortunately af-
flicted.
Insofar rs the general outlook and
settlement and investment prlyl-
leges are concerned. Mississippi pre-
sents the attractive prospect of being
a land of Frontier Opportunity -
where millions of acres are yet to be
had at moderate prices-the pre-
eminently great opportunity, where
the man of moderate means may
yield to the deep-sounded and home
building impulse of the real Ameri-
can.
And it is not amiss just here to
say that there is only one direction
that land values in Mississippi can
take. and that iS-UPWARD.
Here are unbOunded opportunities
for the settlement of the gallant
soldiers of the Republic, now return
ing from the stress and storm or
war. as well as others who may be
seeking Il new land where they may
spend their days amidst happiness
and plenty-as the great privilege
is given under an Over-ruling Provl-
dence.
Being richly favored with all that
may bless and prosper human klnd,
this State keenly realizes that its
greatest present and future need Is
more good, thrifty people TO come
and share its unlimited bountles ana
help in the building here Of a pros
porous and splendid civilization.
Mississippi sends greetings to
those of other climes-the great
North. East and West, as well as
here in the genial Southern land
and stands with outstretched hands
to extend them cordial invitation
and bid them a generous welcome,
where all may strike hands with
united hearts and energies, pledged
to the common purpose Of bringing
her marvellous natural resources into
life and adding them to the Nation $
great storehOuse of wealth.-Mlss.
