they had running over the barn floor,
tumbling things down from the little
shelf-like places around the barn.. un-

At night all was quiet but he did
not sleep ut night; it was in the

SO he moved and made a nice place
for his home in the bank and slept
all day, waking up once in a while
just to enjoy the quiet of his new
home and tell himself how wise he
was to move and how lucky to have
found this very spot.
He waited until it was dark before

peculiar sounds and he sat up and

The next day, as soon as it was

FIGHTING THE BOIL WEEVll
Department of Agriculture Has Elab-
orate Plans for Further Effective
War Against the Pest.

The work of the Department of
Agriculture at Tallulah, La, in devel-
oping methods and apparatus for dust
ing cotton to kill the boil weevil, is be-
ing continued this summer and heavier
planes are being used. In the spring
three De Haviland Alb planes were de-
tailed by the War department for use
In these tests, and competent engineers
and pilots were also provided.
Previously, considerable work on
this problem had been done with light
machines, and the use Of the larger
ones has made it necessary to modify
the distributing mechanism. Several
types of dust hoppers have been made
for meeting the new conditions, but it
will probably require some time to de-
velop n design which will be ~satisfac-
tory. Mr.. Coad, who has charge Of the
boil weevll laboratory for the Depart
ment of Agriculture, expects to have a
fairly satisfactory permanent hopper
installed in one of the planes for use
in actual control work during the sum-
mer.
field have been mapped and all ar
engagements have been made for dust
ing the cotton with the planes. The
results of the new tests will be await
ed with interest by all those connected
with the cotton industry.

Uncommon
Sense JOHN n BLAKE
CIVILITY

THERE is an old copybook maxim
L to the effect that kind words cost
nothing and are worth much.
Anything that costs nothing and is
worth much is a good investment. We
know of no better Investment than
c%ivility.
Civility Is your best introduction to
a job. 1t is your best Introduction to
success. The genius, perhaps, can dis
pense with it. But geniuses are scarce.
No ordinary man can afford to do with
out it. No matter how great your abil-
ity or how extensive your education,
without civility you will be set down
at the start as a gloom, and nobody
wants glooms about the place.
Craftsmanship, which plays an impor.
tant part In any business-whether 1t
Is the merchants, the doctors or the
laborer's, cannot be successfully a
aged without civility.
From your own experience you know
how often you have gone into a store,
intending to buy, and have been driven
away by the bad manners of a stupid
clerk.
The great statesmen practice civility
as their cardinal principle. They are
never ~servile, but they are always civil
Whatever your business or trade,
you are selling your services. To sell
them you must first make a good I'M
preston. And to make a good impress
sion you must be civil.
We repeat the word over and over
again because Of its great Importance.
You have only to look about you to
understand how important it is.
Who is the man given first chance
at new work In any office? The man
who, by his activity, has attracted the
interest Of the man higher up.
Whom would you prefer to have
around you, in case you were a boss
the man who is civil or the man who
seemed always sullen and discomfort
ed?
Civility, the cheapest Of all commod-
tiles, is also the most valuable. 1t is,
of course, nj the only requisite of sue
cess. To succeed you must have first
brains, then industry and application.
But 1t Is cfvility that advertises your
qualities, gains them a hearing and
keeps them constantly before the
minds of the men who are their pur-
chasers.
Cultivate it, IL you lack 1t. Il will
prove worth more than you will EVER
believe until you get a little business
experience.
