Beats Him With Crutch.

In the meantime Rozwell, as a
means of discouraging Ketel from aris-
ing, was beating DEVILS tattoo on his
skull with the half-moon end of a
crutch.
When Ketel felt his roll slipping
from him, possibly forever, he opened
his mouth and released one OF the
lustiest screams heard in many a long
day in Hester street, where the loud
lunged screech builds it's nest and
rears it's young.
The agonized accents brought Pa
trolman Dan Lynch on the run. AS
Daniel breezed into the picture, the
man with the one arm and the taking

that he was going. He started away

iouthern Will Put
On Tourist Tickets

Jacksonville, Fla, Feb. 21.--Gen-
eral Passenger Agent H. F. Cary Of
the Southern Railway System an
nounccd here today that the Southern
will put in round trip tourist rates
to mountain and seashore resorts for
the coming summer season at 80 rer
cent of the double one way fares,
which is a very substantial reduction
under the tourist fares in effect last
summer. For example where the one
way fare is $1,000, the round trip rate
this summer will be $1,000. Last year
the round trip rate would have been
$500, plus $1.44 war tax, making n
total Of $19.44. These rates will ap-
ply from all station to all mountain
and seashore resorts reached by the
Southern, and are expected to have a
great effect in stimulating tourist
travel.

Purchase Boil Weevil
Poisoning Materials Early
Nv IL. X .Coad.

A rather peculiar situation has de-
veloped which promises disappoint-
ment to many cotton farmers who!
wish to poison the weevil this year if
some steps are not taken to remedy
it. For the past several years vari-
Gus machine manufacturers have been
taking up the production Of cotton
dusting machinery and have turned
out limited numbers for the trade
which developed. However, they have
always been confronted with the fact
that many farmers would defer pur
chasing dusting materials in some
vain hope that the weevils were not
to be abundant until so late that it
was impossible to secure deliveries in
time for best results. During the past
several months we have been canvass
ing the results the farmers secured
last year, and find too frequent rcpeti-
ton of statement to the effect that
machines were delayed in shipment
and did not reach them until a few
days or few weeks later than the
time they We're really needed. and
consequently poisoning became more
expensive and les successful. 1t is now
quite obvious that the spring of 1922
is going TO see an abnormallv heavy
cmergcncc Of weevils, and while this
may lie somewhat offset by summer
weather conditions, there is no excuse
for delay in securing equipment il you
are going to poison the weevils this
year. Furthermore, the manufGctur-
crs have no means of anticipating just
what the demand is going to b. and
naturally do not feel justified in build
ing a large number of machines on a
gamble. The consequence is thai ma
chine production will probably more
or less keep pace with visible bushes
and there is little prospect of a sur

Dominating Figure in India

Ahmendabad, India, Feb. 2l.-Mo-
handas X. Gandhi has become a more
dominating figure than ever in the
Indian independence movement incon-
sequence of the action taken in the
annual session of the Indian National
Congress recently held here.
Not only did the Congress appoint
Gandhi as it's sole executive authority,
as cabled at that time, but it authoriz-
ed him to appoint his successor in
event of any emergency.
This action was taken when the
Congress voted all other activities in
order to concentrate attention upon
civil disobedience.
The resolution conferring Increased
powers upon Gandhi declared:
This Congress hereby appoints, un-
til further instructions, Mahatma
Gandhi as the sole executive authori-
ty Of the Congress and invests him
with the full powers of the All-India
Congress Committee, including the
power Of convening special session
Of the Congress or of the !All-lndia
Congress Committee or the working
committee, and also with the powc,
to appoint successor in an cmcr,
gency.
"This Congress hereby confers up.
, on the successor and all subsequent
successors appointed in turn by then
predecessors all his aforesaid powers.
The Congress not only stipulated
however, that Gandhi should not bo
authorized to conclude terms of peace
with the British or Indian govern
ments without the previous consent
of the All-India Congress Corrmittec
but it also declrade that the present
creed of the Congress was in no case
to be altered by either Gandhi or his
! successors without first having oh
tanned permission from the Indian
Congress.

Cooperative Marketing
Of Cotton

Columbia, Feb. 20.-A veritable IT,
dal wave of enthusiasm for the coop
erative marketing of cotton is sweep
ing over the state, and officials of the
South Carolina Cotton Growers Co.
operative Association say that con-
tracts are coming in by every mail.
The visit of DIR. Clarence Poe to the
state last week when he delivered
speeches in Newberry, Aiken, John
ston and Bamberg has been followed
by great activities in these counties.
DR.. Poe strongly presented the plans
of the association atthese points, told
of the successful completion of the
campaign in North Carolina where
over 100000 bales had been signed
and of the splendid business men
chosen tohead the North Carolina as
sociation. He predicted success for
the South Carolina campaign.
"If the farmers of South Carolina
do not enthusiastically support the
movement on foot to organize and to
put in successful operation the South
Carolina Cotton Growers Association,
they need never start another farm
ers' movement because it will be a
president of the Peoples Bank and
Trust Company of York, in letter
to W.B. Wilkersen, county director
for Western York.
Mr.. jenkins declares that the as
;ociation will do more to bring about
and regulate orderly marketing of
cotton at fair profit than anything
else than can be done," and says:
1--WE have quite a number of farm
ers among our stockholders. We
number hundreds of farmers as pa
irons, and we are and will be ust
as willing, if not more so, to assist
financially farmers who are members
of the association as those who are
! rot. The fact that the government
through the great War Finance Corr
poration and the large financial in
stitutions and the money centers have
endorsed Cooperative Marketing as
sociations and have expressed will
ingness to extend, and are already eX-
tending, financial assistance in large
amounts, is initself evidence of the
soundness of the proposition.
1t is great pity that the farmers
Of South Carolina have not long be-
fore now organized such an associa-
ton. The would now be enjoying the
great benefits that are being enjoyed
through associations already organ
lied in Texas, Oklahoma, and Mis-
sissippi.
"The farmer who does not DIN in
this movement is not only standing
in his own light but is retarding the
future development of the South"

Cooperative Extension Work

How many of us have thought about
Getting up some little cooperative
proposition in our neighborhood; rails
ing good vegetables in our home gar
dens and fruit in our home orchards
using enough for the home, and club
hing together to sell the remainder? :?
The big horticulturists have made
this past year. Why not let's get a
little bit of it for ourselves?
The secret of making money out of
horticultre is to grow frst-class
product, grade and pack it properly
and put it on the market in good
shape. 1t will then sell. Poor fruit
ard poor vegetables never sell.
Homemaker! Make a special ef-
fort this year to produce the best pos
siblc product in the home orchard and
garden and you will be surprised how
many people in the nearby town will
bc glad to get it at good prices.

Rose Of Washington Square" is

frothy, it has it's serious moments
but they are not boresome, it's plot is
consistent and well sustained yet there
are moments one thinks Of revue.
The story is that of family of
mOuntaineer Carolinians who sudden
ly become wealthy through the dis
covcry of rich ore on their Blue Ridge
farm. Rose is the comely Dixie miss
who is sent to Greenwich Village to
study music and painting. The temp
tations that surround the innocent
maid from the hills, in the exotic at
mosphere of New York's Bohemia
provide a decidedly interesting story.
When one beholds the unconventional
environment of the artists studios

artistic but not necessarily clevating
