bers of the Israelite House of David
colony at Benton Harbor. The wit
nesses are sought to testify at the grand
jury investigation slated to begin in
Berrien county next Monday.
The grand jury proceedings were
brought about by the state in an effort
to obtain information against Benjamin
Purnell, leader of the cult, and his chief
morality and fraud. All such charges,
however. deal with alleged acts COM
mitted so long ago as to have been out
lawed, and an attempt is to be made
to find evidence Of alleged criminal acts
Of more recent date.
Arguments on the colony'S motion to
dismiss the states quo warranto pro-

set to be heard tomorrow. This is the
states case to compel the colony to

On the Washington Monument

One of these beds will be arranged

sive Of the whole hearted welcome Of
the National Capital to the mobiles

It will require at least 10000 plants

today that he would like to have
done more than this to have the
parks of the capital SAY 1t with flow

this style of planting has been pretty

and the propagating gardens haven't
sufficient stock on hand suitable for
this kind of work.
The plants are now being grown,
but the work of planting them on the
Monument grounds will not be start

the delicate nature of the plant. The
gardeners have. however, assured
Col. Sheriff. that these beds will sure

Old Scrub Pine
Used as Remedy
For Boil WeeUil
By the Associa ted Press

By the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, April 20.-The old
scrub pine. the misshapen growth
that covers q broad area Of the
great southland. has come into a
new use. In places where farm
ers have termed 1t an evil 1t now
promises an agency with which
another evil may be battled.
J. J. Gum, Warren county
farmer, claims the discovery. He
uses 1t to fight the boil weevil in
his cotton lands. He says limb
from a scrub pine will accom-
plish as much as the most deadly
chemical. IL properly applied.
Gum grows cotton. Weevils grow
on his crop. He takes a limb OF
the scrub pine and brushes plant.
The weevil, he says. falls from it's
cool retreat on the hot ground.
where 1t cannot survive. The eggs
on the cotton are disturbed, Gum
says, and thereby they cannot
hatch.
AS to the practicability Of the
plan, the farmer asserts that one
workman can cover ten acres OF
cotton in one day with great
success.
w ]. Norris of Atlanta, former
planter, backs up the plan de-
veloped by Gum. Norris says the
weevil does not like human COM
pany and supports his statement
with evidence to show that cot
ton growing beside a travelled
path will bear vastly more than
the stalks in midfield.

CHEYENNE. Wyo.. April 20.-An
unusual situation may develop in the
Salt Greek oil field as a result of the
action taken by the Wyoming laH
board in awarding the lease on sec
tion So to the Midwest Refining Com
pany on a 65 per cent royalty basis
and then selling the states royalty
oil to the Mutual Oil Company, rival
of the Midwest. The two actions were
officially announced.
Under the new arrangement a
Rocky mountain concern owned by
the Standard Oil Company of Indiana
will have to see a major part OF the
crude produced on the famous section
go to an outsider. whereas up until
the present time the Standard subsid-
iaries virtually have dominated the
Salt Creek field.
The Mutual's bid for the royalty oil
was 25 cents below the mid continent
price. with a minimum of $50 a bar
rel specified. The Midwest had made
four alternative propositions for the
lease; the one offering SIS per cent was
agreed upon as the most acceptable
of those offered by the five bidders.
The lease is for Ave years on the
famous section 36-40-79, described as

FEW PARTS BUILT
OUTSIDE OF HUDSON
AND ESSEX PLANT
Factory Efficiency Cuts
Down Cost of Build
Tss ing Cars.

One Of the principal factors in the
quality and favorable price of both
Hudson and Essex cars is that they
are 90 per cent manufactured and
not merely assembled. according to
William Steinhardt of the Crockett
Automobile company, local distribu-
tors.
Both. cars are made in the same
factory by the same working force.
said Mr.. Harrison. "The materials
are just the same in the two cars,
and the same degree of care is cxer-
cised in manufacturing and inspec-
ton.
Ninety per cent of the parts
which 90 into Hudson and Essex
cars are machined and finished in
this factory-one of the highest per-
centages in the automobile industry.
THE Hudson and Essex plants
are noted not alone for size, but
also for a compact and scientific ar
rangement, which permits high
output of uniform quality with an
economical working force. Machines
which multiply the productiveness OF
labor are everywhere. Each of these
machines repeats over and over'its as
signed operations with a uniformity
which minimizes the opportunity OF
human error"
