Coco Says Klansmen
Are Welcome to Serve
On Mer Rouge Jury

NEW ORLEANS, La, Feb. "a
Attorney General A. V. Coco will
not object to KIansmen serving on
the Morehouse parish grand jury
which is to consider the evidence
taken at the recent open hearing
into hooded mob outrages, but he
expects the Klansmen to disregard
their Khan affiliations and return in
dictments against persons he will
name at the grand jury hearing
early in March.
The attorney general made his po-
sition clear in a statement which
followed a lengthy conference with
members of his staff and conference
with leading residents of Morehouse
parish during his visit there last
week.
THE best information obtainable
is that five of the twenty men Sc
1ected in the grand jury panel are
positively members of the Ku KluX
that seven others are members"
Judge Coco said. "Of course it was
impossible under the law to exclude
citizens by reason of their affilia-
ton with the Klan or opposition to
the order and the jury commission
pursued the only course open to
them, that is, selecting the jurors
with reference purely to their per
sonal qualifications"
The attorney general referred to
the good social standing of the men
selected and declared that their life
long residence in the parish, their
property interests and regulations
of being laW-abiding citizens, con-
WINGED him that they would do
their duty irrespective of Khan af-
filiations or influence"
Judge Coco declared conditions in
Morehouse parish had greatly i'm
proved since the close of the open
hearing into the deaths of Watt
Daniel and Thomas L. Richard, and
other alleged Khan outrages, six
weeks ago

ORCHARD|STS URGED
To SPRAY NOW FOR
SAN JOSE SCALE

FORT VALLEY, Ga, Feb. "a
Peach orchards that are heavily in
tested with the San Jose scale should
be sprayed twice during the dormant
season; and the last treatment
should be, given during the latter
part of February, as the buds will
be bursting in March. and it will
then be too late for scale spraying,
according to the government ex-
perts here. A number of living scale
insects have been found in Georgia
peach orchards during the past
month after the trees had been
sprayed once during the dormant
seacon. The scale infestation in most
of these orchards, however, was
heavy before the first spray was ap-
piled, and in order to secure satisfac-
tory results in controlling scale in
each orchards where the infestation
is severe, two applications of spray
during me dormant season will be
necessary.
Pc CHI growers who have obtained
poor results in controlling scale with
one application of spray or those
who have not yet made the first
application are cautioned to use
liquid lime-sulphur in the proportion
Of one to eight during the next ten
days. If the scale is not controlled
during the next few weeks, nothing
can be done until next fall; and
since the progeny from one parent
scale may reach over one billion fe-
males in a single season, the vitality
of the trees would be greatly weak
ened before CO .rol measures. can
again be enforced against the insect.
The recent cold weather has re-
tarded the activity of the adult
peach curculios, and they are again
inactive IN alternating quarters. An
excellent opportunity is now afford
ed peach growers" to get in a timely
lick at this pest by Immediately
burning over all wooded and waste
land spaces to a distance Of 300
y,.rds from commercial peach or
chards. The gh'own-up ditch banks,
fence and teri bee rows should also
be burned over. Immediate atten,
ton to this matter may greatly in
fluence the quality Of the peach crop
this year.

Ormond Folks Treat Rookie
Teller as Ordinary Neigh
Dor Enjoys Golf, Home
Concerts, Church Services
By Josephine Van De Griff

DIV OUSGplIiA1O OH OC OAhA
ORMOND BEACH, Feb. 24.-F'or
week I have been living across
the street from the worlds richest
man; walking with him, brief strolls
though they were; talking with him,
though not officially interviewing
him; watching him as he played
golf; going to church and musicales,
in his wake; getting picture, init
mately, of his playtime life.
SO found out many things about
John D. Rockefeller, Sr. Here are
two of them that stand out:
He isn't exactly the guarded, cod
died Croesus you may imagine.
An Ordinary Neighbor
He is being treated here in Or
mond as an ordinary neighbor.
There IS no fence around his
house at the corner of River Road
and Beach Road; L can see it from
my window in the Ormond Hotel.
There are no guards, either. And
one morning I met him at the half
light hour of strolling along the
bank of Halifax Road, unattended.
1t is the stranger in Ormond who
ogles him, following, pointing. The
people of Ormond accept him casu-
ally as their winter peighbor, and
he seems to get lot of fun out of
such association.
I fell into step with Rockefeller
on the toll bridge, after he had dug
into his pocket for the nickel which
Adolf d'Grom, toll-gate keeper,
exacts from rich men and reporters
alike.
Looking at me keenly, Rockefeller
said: Are you a reporter"
(And foolish people say age has
dimmed the eye, blunted the wits,
and dulled the human intuition of
this manD
L admitted my identity and told
him many things L wanted to know.
well" he smiled, walking along
with me there were no guards

don't think T have anything to say
about those things. Instead, won't
you accept this?" (And he gave me
shining dime-and another for
my mother, when I assured him L
wasn't married)

he said, without talking about all
those things"

The Northwest's fight against huge

it is declared would throttle North
Dakota's growing industry permit
operators to boost the price of east

to make a thorough investigation of
the forces behind the demand for an
increase in Ignite coal freight rates,
to determine whether eastern rail-
roads, operators and lake dock COM
panies are in conspiracy to in
crease Ignite freight rates to a
point where the industry will be de-
stroyed," the governor said, "and
further to determine whether there
is evidence which may be placed be-

that Northwestern railroads have

with it all he gives the spectator an
altogether marvellous assortment in
the way of actual entertainment.
