HARDING'S DEATH
DUE TO GRIEF
Public Confederation of
A Belief Many People
Have Had for Months

Canton, Ohio, April 2:-George II.
Clark. former justice of the state
supreme court, former chairman of
the Ohio Republican State Executive
committee and manager of the Hard
ing campaign in the state in 1920,
revealed in a recent interview which
he said he had with the late president
shortly before his trip to Alaska. in
which Mr.. Harding complained of be-
ing betrayed by friends who were
in his official family.
Judge Clark's statement followed
publication Of Washington dispatch
that Chairman Brookhart of hte
Daugherty investigation committee
had used an account of the Clark
Harding interview as a basis for his
assumption that Mr.. Harding, shortly
before his death, was planning TO
make important changes in his Cabi-
net
my relations with President Hard.
ing were more personal than politi-
cal" said Judge Clark. at is true |
managed the 1920 campaign at his
reuest. but that was only for me a
citizenship duty and capstone on 81
years of friendship with Harding.
81 saw the president at Washing
ton and elsewhere from time to time.
saw him age and weaken under the
burden he carried. We talked about
his problems and his health.'
I'm certain talk l had with him
he told me of his disappointments, his
griefs, and the betrayal Of trust and
friendship even within his official
family He was deeply moved and
said the conduct he endured from
friends was 'heart-breaking.'
''In our conversation the president,
in relating to me how some of the
men whom he had placed in high
positions had turned against him,
was deeply moved and appeared to
be really heart-broken. l believe that
the worries and grief of which he
spoke then helped to hasten the end"

Big Demand for Ar
senic to Encourage
Increased Output

The Mining Record
4 few years ago il was discovered
that arsenic in the form of calcium
arzauate Was . valuable insecticide
wherev.ith 10 fight the boil weevil
which has infested the cottonfelds Of
the South, and so far as il Is yet
] known no other Insecticide is as eff
fertIve or can be used at anywhere
near the same cost per acre. Paris
green killed the Weeyil, but what il
I did 70 the cotton plants all but drove
the planters mad. Arsenate Of lead,
I a potent poison. was neutral in its
effect upon the cotton plant The
I high cost Of lead oxide as against the
( cheapness Of lime caused the govern
ncnt TO experiment, with the result
tha. calcium arsenate has the govern
meat's official stamp Of approval. The
cotton growers in 1922 used sixteen
I million pounds The demand this year
exceeds the available supply By FIVE
million pounds
William Harper Dean. writing in
| The Country Gentleman, is authority
/ for the statement that in 1911 boil
weevils prevented the production of
exactly 6.2Ts 900 bales of cotton.
Nf.ltN LI Inc NAFTfiAA pAACf
more than one-half million dollars
lo-- In some sections Of the South
The growing Of cotton has been dis
continued because Of the infected
field
a government experimental sta
tior has eNpcrmented with airpianes
ani found this method Of busting the
fe'ds more effective than any other
method !, is proposed now 20 dust
the rrtton fields by using airplanes as
. community proposition for the reas-
on that one infected field would de-
aray the advantage gained by pois-
onlng the fields here and there. An
othe- advantage of the airplane is
that at the rate Of 100 miles an hour
thn particles of calcium arsenate are
81 ,haroIy separated by being driven
thru the air that in falling on the
cotton the arsenate is much better
broken up than by the ordinary dust
ing machines.
Authorities are of the general opin-
ion that the present consumption Of
arsenic is limited only by the price
and that while the supply will un-
doubtedly increase from year to year,
II cannot catch up with the demand
for a long time to come. Fred h.
Nye. president of the Arsenic Mines,
Inc. reports that the direct produc-
tion Of arsenic does not mean cheap
arsenic and is not going to supply the
cotton planter with a low-priced calci-
um arscnate demanded in such enorm-
Gus quantities for next season The
calcium arsenate demanded on n ton
mage basis is changing by creating a
dependable demand, and will be
changed altogether when n dependable
supply is made available. When one
remembers that one pair Of boil Wee
| wills produce over l2 900, 900 progeny
in a single season, these figures in
dicate tremendous scope of the
problem. There is no expectation at
/ present of exterminating the weevil:
all efforts are merely to control it and
reduce its destruction TO an economical
minimum. Everyone is concerned
with the production of cotton. 1t is
one of the staples received from the
farm. and it is gratifying to know
that competent companies are being
organized to supply this much needed
demand for arsenic.

Increase Made Following Rise In
Price
(State Capital Bureaul

tState CaplCaI DureauD
MONTGOMERY, Ala, Oct. 3.-Ef-
fective at once the Alabama farm bu-
reau cotton association is increasing the
advance on cotton to its members from
Is cents to Is cents per pound. Off
cial notice to this effect was mailed to-
day to all the banks in the state by
Allen. Northington, general manager of
the association.
Early in the season the association
advanced Is cents per pound but
steady decline in the price in Septem-
her made it necessary to reduce this
advance to IS cents. Recent advances,
however, are responsible for the present
increase. The policy of the association
is to advance members approximately
60 per cent Of the market value of their
cotton when it is delivered and mail
check to them for additional payments
throughout the year as sufficient sales
are made. Ordinarily five or six pay
ments are made during the season, the
last coming about August. Advances
ere handled by local banks by drafts
drawn by the mmebers with either the

SOUTHERN BOARD
MAY TAKE HAND
in CROSSING WAR
Directors Expected To
Visit Birmingham
October Ia

The Southern Railway company's
mart in Birmingham's grade crossing
problem appears to be fast coming to
head. An announcement from New
York is to the effect that the entire
board of directors will be in Birming-
ham October IA for an inspection of the
recently opened .$10,O00,000 shops at
Finley yards. 1t is understood that the
board will likewise consider the grade
separation agitation during it's stay
here.
Grade Improvements" were specifi-
cally mentioned in a letter said to have
been written by Fairfax Harrison, pres
ident of the Southern, to j. p. Morgan
and company who financed the $50, OO0,-
900 bond issue in November, 1928. The
shops opened October 1 absorbed &c.,
100000 of the issue and it is assumed
that a portion of the $10O00,0O0 re-
naming will be used in helping to
solve Birmingham's grade crossing prob
lem.
President Harrison is quoted as say
ing that the money was to be used for
yard improvement" and added, it is
said, that the money would increase the
efficiency Of the properties so that 'sav-
ings over present cost will be equiva-
lent to a return of 20 per cent of the
money invested as compared to cost
of six and one-half per cent to the
company for the money required.
The shops and yard engagements
have been arranged, but the Southern
has made little progress in the elimina-
ton of its part of the grade crossing
situation In Birmingham. Criticism
directed at the executive department
of the Southern railway is said to have
reached the directors of the company,
including Walter 8. CaseA of Case,
Pomery and company, who own the
bulk of common stock.
1t 81 stated that the Southern has
religiously courted the good will and
favor of officials in nearly every Sec
tion of the country, but have failed to
maintain that record for cooperation
in Birmingham.
The shops at Birmingham are re-
puted to be the last word in construc-
ton of that kind and it 81 said the
savings there as compared to the old
shops will be enormous. 1t is believed
here that the increased efficiency of the
Finel shops will be great enough to pay
the Southern's part of the viaduct cost
in solving the grade crossing evil here.
The directors will leave New York
October IL on a special train and will
look at other work on the line. The
party will be here only during the day,
leaving at night for New York.
