WOMEN FOR PROHIBITION.

Frances E. Burns. Great Comman-
der, Ladies of the Maccabees, says:
For thirty years / have been
work ing with $4,000 women, and
have seen the difficulties many wo-
men had to meet in connection with
the drink problem. Everywhere wo-
men are expressing the gratifying
change which has resulted since the
eighteenth amendment, stating that
for the first time in many years the
wages of the head of the family are
used for the benefit of the whole
family instead of being spent in the
saloon"
This argument alone should make
stable forever the 18th amendment.

TIRED OF
BEARING THE BURDEN
Cali Upon Capital and Labor to
Quit Their Bickering and
Go to Work.

Leesburg, Va. Aug. IA. - The
farmers "call upon capital and labor
10 cease their petty chickering's and
resume production, trusting to Amer
fcan institutions and American sense
Of fair play to see that justice is
done on both of them," Secretary
Wallace of the Department of Agri-
culture declared in an address here
today before a local farm organi-
zation.
"The purchasing power of the
wages of the railway employee in
1921" he continued, was 81 per
cent greater than in 1913. The pur-
chasing power of the wages OF the
coal miner in 1921 was 80 per cent
greater than in 1913. The purchas-
ing power of the farm hand who
works for wages in 1921 was 4 per
cent less than in 1913, while the
purchasing power of the farmer him
self was on an average from rs to-
45 per cent less than in 1913"
I'm short" Mr.. Wallace empha-
sized. 1.-THE farmers of the country,
numbering almost one third of our
entire population, having borne alto
gether the heaviest burden of defla-
ton. They have endeavored to gain
relief by all lawful means. They
have appealed to the administration,
to Congress and every other agency
which they thought might be able
to help them, but while making these
efforts to avoid heavy losses they
have not struck. They have not
created disorders. They have kept
on producing and in the face of
extraordinarily low prices have this
year grown one Of the largest crops
in our history. The farmer believes
in fairness between man and man. He
believes in working hard and pro-
ducing efficiently.
"If other groups will do as the
farmer has done, our economic prob
lens would soon be solved. Prices
would be adjusted to their normal re-
lationship. There would be work for
everybody and at just. wages.
If the various groups in this
country are determined to prey on
one another and abandon law and or
der for strong arm methods, the
farmer can take care of himself. He
can reduce his production to his own
needs. He can follow the example of
some others and refuse to sell what
he produces. But he does not be-
lieve in that sort of thing. He
knows that such policy would bring
about in this great republic exactly
the same sort Of conditions that ex-
ist in Russia"

FLYING SQUADRON VISITS
PLEASANT VALLEY CHURCH
Seventy Five Brookhavenites With
Eight-Piece Orchestra Make
Sunday Journey.

The Brookhaven Flying Squad
ron,' seventy-fve strong, made its
fourth cruise Sunday afternoon, an
choring at the port of Pleasant Val
ley Church for a couple Of hours Of
Gospel work. The squadron, under
command of j. Meredith Wood, left
the Brookhaven postoffiee at 1890,
making the voyage in feet Of If
teen autos, arriving at Pleasant VAL
ley shortly after 2 o'clock.
Pleasant Valley Church, fittingly
named-is Is miles west of Brookha-
ven, reposing restfully in a charm
ing grassy nook on the gracefully
curving bank Of picturesque little
stream.
Reverend Watkins, local pastor,
graciously welcomed the squadron,
and Immediately turned the services
over to the visitors Mr.. Wood, in
charge of affairs, opened the services
with a brief mention of the aims,
hopes and purposes Of the visit. Then,
after the congregation had Joined in
a ten-minute song service, led by the
eight-piece orchestra which accompa-
MED the squadron, Mr.. Wood called
for three-minute talks from members
Of the squadron.
The quick response to this invita-
tion to say word for the Master,
and the earnestness and fervor of
the messages given expressed the i'm
port and purpose of the meeting.
These soul-warming talks were in
terspersed with frequent songs.

pressively rendered, gripping the
congregation like a Heavenly bene-
diction. Mrs. Bee accompanied with
softened notes of the organ, the
sweet tones seemingly eehoing
Amen" to the beautiful words of
the song.
Sundays service at Pleasant Val
ley church was a heart-stirring occa-
sion for local members and visiting
message-bearers. The spirit of help
fulness, the desire to aid and a long
ing for fuller measure of religious
responsibilities was startlingly con-
tagious. The visit of Brookhaven's
Flying Squadron" will bear fruit
in unexpected places and In years yet
to come.
Sunday evening the Squadron had
charge of services at the Methodist
church here in which the Presbyter-
Ian congregation joined. A furry Of
untoward weather just at the opening
hour lessened the attendance both at
this meeting and at the Baptist
church where services were held.
A large number spoke in response
to Mr. Woods invitation. testifying
to their satisfaction and the rewards
reaped in the Christian life. There
we're twenty men In the choir. Mr..
e. M. Bee, Of A. G. Seavey & Sons,
read the opening scripture.

Cotton Worm Spreading.

A. G M. College, Miss, Aug. 12.-
Report reaching the State Plant
Board office today indicate that the
cotton worm now causing so much
uneasiness throughout the South is
present in injurious numbers in at
least 21 counties in Mississippi. From
many of the reports received it
seems that some of the planters wait
ed too late to apply the poison and
are not getting control of the worms.
According to R. w. Harmed, State
Entomologist, best results are OBJ
tanned when the worms first appear
and are still very small, as they are
more easily poisoned at that stage.
GrowersN that are poisoning the wee
vii with calcium arsenate dust need
have no fear of the worms.
Whether it will pay to poison the
worms or not is question which
each grower should decide for him
self. Where cotton is still growing
and fruiting with plenty of blooms
and young bolls, the poison should
be applied without delay. But in
fields heavily infested with the boil
weevil, with no bloom showing and
most Of the young. bolls punctured,
it is very doubtful if it will pay.
In very rank cotton, especially where
a considerable amount of boil rot is
present, stripping of the leaves by
the worms may stop the rotting and
poisoning would be of no benefit.
A shortage of calcium arsenate and
lead arsenate, the poisons most gem
orally used, is also causing uneasi-
ness in some sections. Where these
poisons cannot be obtained growers
may be able to secure Paris Green,
London Purple, magnesium arsenate,
or zinc arsenite, which may be used
instead. An equal weight of lime
should be mixed with most Of these
to avoid burning the plants. More
specific directions about using these
may be secured by writing the En-
tomologist, State Plant Board, A. &
NJ. College, Mississippi.

Personal Inspection Is Necessary, He Says, in Making Decisions Regarding Alaska.
CONGRESS HURTING NOW
Chief Executice Makes Plain His Desire to Learn Facts Himself for Wise Policies.

SEATTLE, March 22. - A Times Washington special dispatch today says:
 "Still hopeful but not certain" was the phrase used at the White House today describing President Warren G. Harding's mental attitude toward his proposed trip to Alaska. He is de- termined to go, if possible.
 The only uncertain factor now is the date of the adjournment of the Con- gress. If the lawmakers hold on until the middle of August, which is pos sible, it will be. obviously, impossible for the President to make the trip with any hope of accomplishing the practical results which he has in mind.
 The President wants it understood that he dies not contemplate a "joy- ride" or holiday tour to Alaska, but would go on serious and vitally i'm portant national business.
 Nothing has been accomplished yet toward the Presidents expressed de- sire for the administration to co-ordi- nate and recognize the various agen- cies of exercising federal control in Alaska.
 It was further indicated at the White House today that the President is not sure whether he now wants anything done regarding the Northland until he has had an opportunity personally to examine Alaskan affairs in the Ter ritory itself.
 President Harding now expresses the opinion that he cannot determine , fully his Alaskan policy until he has visited the Territory in person, and if he goes, he wants every opportun- ity to meet the Alaskan people and learn their views, as well as seeing for himself the physical facts of the situation. This attitude of the Chief Executive was strengthened today at the Cabinet meeting, when matters affecting the supplies of coal and oil in Alaska were discussed. He now feels that personal view of the situ ation is necessary for wise decision.
 With a view to meeting the Presi- dents wishes, the congressional lead CTS are now expediting business.

 The proposed intervention will come as a deep disappointment to all England, where it was hoped the re. cent treaty and setting up of the Free State would end the ages-old problem of Ireland.
 The recent manifesto of Eamonn De Valera is declared by many to be primarily responsible for the continu, ation of the factional strife.
 Great Britain is prepared for any eventuality in the troubled island, but will act only upon the advice of the leading pacifists on both sides, with a view to ultimate conciliation.
