ALMOST PUT HIS FOOT IN II
Visitor In Small Town Found He Had
to Be Exceptionally Careful
About Offending in-Laws.

There Is q town in the Southwest
where the families have intermarried
60 such an extent that It is difficult
for an outsider to make the leus,
criticism Of one person without the
danger of offending some family con,
nection. When an unfortunate visitor
commented on this fact to Mr.. Jones'
the postmaster, Mr. Jones nodded.
"Bill Perkins-thats our sheriff
complained Of that no longer ago than
last week." said he, according to the
Philadelphia Ledger.
"You see, It took him more'n a week
to arrest Frank because Frank got
wind that he was wanted on a little
matter Of sellin' moonshine, and he
went on a round Of visits amongst his
relatives, aunts, nephews7 7in-law and I
don't know what ALL ana 1t wasn't till
he had had his fill and went back home
to his wife that Bill could make the
arrest without seeming to kind of butt
In, as you might say, and spoil the
reunions"

strange sort of sheriff." said the Wis
ttor, waiting all the time for senti.

man when he went home Just be
cause his wife wasn't a relation -
Whereupon the postmaster drew
himself up and assumed q remote ex-
preston.
"That's as you look at it." he said
In chilly tone. II may be a bit
prejudiced in Bills favor, as he mar
ried my son-in-law's youngest sister.
Anything that concerns him concerns

Sen. CHRISTENSEN
WOULD RESIGN

Declaring that the senate was op-
posed to his views on the important
tax program and that business has
won in the senate against agriculture
in crisis when agriculture is in des-
perate straits" Senator Neils Chris
tensen, chairman of the upper house
finance committee, last night handed
in his resignation as chairman of this
important committee, but the senate
by unanimous vote refused to ac-
cept it.
Following urgent pleas from Sena-
tor Johnstone Of Newberry, Senator
Watkins of Anderson and Senator
Watkins of Anderson and Senator
Duncan of Union that the resignation
not be accepted, the upper house re-
fused to accede TO the request Of Mr..
Christensen that he be allowed to re-
tire from the craftsmanship and also
extended vote of confidence to Mr..
Christensen unanimously.
After the senate had refused to ac-
cept the resignation and had extended
the vote of confidence, Senator John
stone moved that further consdara
ton of the matter, if there was to be
further consideration, be postponed
until today, which was agreed to.
Senator Christensen plainly told the
senate last night that he would in
sist upon being relieved as chairman,
but after the upper house had ad-
journed number of senator's gather
ed around the chairman and urged
him to press no longer his resigna-
ton. Senator Christensen said the

WEEKS SUBMITS
ALABAMA OFFER

Washington, Feb. 2O.-Announce-
ment by Secretary Weeks today that
ne would ask congress tomorrow fol-
acceptance or rejection of the Ala
bama Power company's offer to pur-
chase and Lease the Muscle Shoals
(Ala.) J. nitrate and water power pro-
jects, submitted to him last Tues
day, added to the possibilities of fur
ther delay in congress on considera-
ton of Henry Ford's offer for the
same properties. The Alabama COM
panys offer, it was said, probably
would be referred to the military af-
fairs committee of the house and ag-
ricultural committee of the senate,
both of which are engaged in inves-
tigating the Ford proposal Chair
man Kahn announced today that the
house body would conclude it's study
of the offer submitted by the Detroit
manufacturer before undertaking
hearings on the new proposal, but
would not report them separately to
the house.
The plan in recommending accept
ance or rejection of the offers to the
full membership of the house, the
chairman said, would be to prepare a
joint report on all proposals congress
might receive. In this manner, it
was explained, the Ford offer would
remain in the committees hands pre-
venting action by the house until all
the proposals the war secretary
might submit were thoroughly inves-
tigated.
Mr.. Kahn said he expecten to con-
clude the hearings on Mr.. Ford's Of
fer this week and would Immediately
begin an examination of that from
the Alabama Power company which,
Secretary Weeks indicated today, was
considered 'better offer" in some
respects than that of Henry Ford.
The house committee today inter-
rogated j. o. Hammitt, vice presi-
dent of the Air Nitrates corporation,
a subsidiary of the American Cyana-
mid company of Maine, who strong
ly defended the rights of the for
mer company to purchase nitrate
plant No. 2 at Muscle Shoals upon as
favorable terms as the government
might accept from other private en-
|tprpripes.
He submitted contract signed by
the corporation and war department
officials under date of June 8, 1918,
when it was agreed to build the plant
and which contained a section extend
ing optional privileges to the air
nitrates subsidiary to buy the prop
erty in the event it was sold by the
government.

MUST NOT DELAY
POISONING PLANS

The following statement is made b,
B. r. Coad of the Delta laboratory
bureau of entomology, United State.
department of agriculture, Tallulah
La:
"A rather peculiar situation has de-
veloped which promises disappoint
ment to many cotton farmers who
wish to poison the weevil this yea,
if some steps are not taken to remedy
it. For the past several years vari.
Gus machine manufacturers have beer
taking up the production of cotton
dusting machinery and have turned
out limit numbers for the trade which
developed. However, they have
always been confronted with the fact
that many farmers would defer pur.
chasing busting materials in some
vain hope that the weevils were not
to be abundant until so late that il
was impossible to secure deliveries in
time for best results. During the
past several months we have been can
vassing the results the farmers Sc
cured last year and find too frequent
repetition of statement to the effect
that the machines were delayed in
shipment and did not reach them un-
til few days or a few weeks later
than the time they were really needed
and consequently poisoning became
more expensive and less successful
1t is now quite obvious that the spring
of 1922 is going to see an abnormally
heavy emergence of weevils, and
while this may be somewhat offset
by summer weather conditions, there
is no excuse for delay in securing
equipment if you are going to poison
the weevils this year. Furthermore
the manufacturers have no means of
anticipating just what the demand is
going to be and naturally do not feel
justified in building large number
of machines on gamble. The con-
sequence is that machine production
will probably more or less keep pace
with visible business and there is lit
tie prospect of a surplus of machines
being prepared and thus placed at the
disposal of those suddenly deciding
to poison at the last moment. Our
advice is decide now whether or not
you are going to prepare to poison,
and if you decide to do so, immedi-
-ntefy make arrangementssf for youz
supply Of busting materials. The
price of the various machines has al
ready been announced for the year
The various one mule machines are all
between 500 and $125, while the two
mule machines practically all range
between $3.50 and $780, These prices
are fairly reasonable in proportion to
the present value of cotton, and
there is little likelihood of reduc-
ton certainly not sufficient prob
ability to warrant delaying the pur-
chase of equipment.
"Considering all features of the sit
uation, we feel that we can not too
strongly urge either the purchase of
material now or the decision to not
attempt poisoning this year."
