The Army Worm.

While the farmers Of Georgia and the cot
ton belt are constantly menaced by the boil
weevl they are not the only ones who are
having serious trouble with crop pests. Raw
ages of the army worm, known to science
as the larva OF dark gray moth Leucania
unpuncta have spread to several agricul-
tural states of the middle west with disas-
trous results to growing crops. The worm
is well named. 1t belongs to one OF the
most menacing armies that ever precipitated
conflict and one OF the hardest to combat.
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and Wiscon-
sin are the principal states affected to date.
OF these Illinois has been the heaviest loser.
In McHenry county and in sections OF De
Kalb Boone and Winnebago counties many
hundreds OF men have been employed by
farmers to oppose the army worms, which
are marching in billions against the crops.
Corn is their choicest food In Kankakee
county. ILL.,, a 40-acre cornfeld was destroy
ed in one night, not vestige OF green being
left on the battlefield after the army worms
had finished their attack. This shows what a
menace the children of Leucania unipuncta
may become in the corn belt of the country
if they are permitted to spread.
Illinois farmers are not trying to save
fields where the army worm already is en-
trenched, but are applying methods to keep
it confined to given area. 1t is said that
practically no method of treatment will drive
the army worm out of field after it gets
in. 1t can, however, be kept out if the
proper precautions are taken
Furrowing and poisoning are found to be
the best strategy against the army worm.
Farmers now engaged in battling this pest
are blowing deep wide burrows around fields
as yet untouched Holes two and one-half
feet in depth are bored in the furrow about
three rods apart. A mixture of bran, arsenate
OF lead and molasses is distributed along the
furrow and kerosene and water are poured
into the holes. The advancing worms are
stopped by the furrow The poisoned mixture
kills them. Those that are forced by the on
coming hordes into the holes of the furrow
may be taken out and burned. This method
of resisting the army worm is said to be the
best worked out by government entomolo-
gists engaged in studying insect pests.

Behold the DemagOgue.
From the Montgomery Advertiser.

Teach people who are not getting on well
70 hate and distrust those who are getting
on well-that is the first part and the last
part OF demagogy.
When they are desperate they demand a
victim They demand a corporal victim. 1t
offends their vanity to hold themselves re-
sponsible Tor their misfortunes 1t is simpler
to find rogue and name him as the cause
of all their sorrows and defeats.
Demagogues of the type OF Robert NJ.
LaFollette and William J. Bryan have spent
their lives trying to convince discouraged and
unfortunate people that the cause OF their
condition does not lie in themselves but is
to be found at 20 Broadway, in Wall street,
and in the Offices of the railroad presidents.
The very people whom they profess to
love the very people whom they would en-
rich by their vulgar panaceas, would tomor-
row be objects of suspicion to Bryan and
LaFollette, if they should achieve wealth and
position.
The men who have come up from un-
painted cabins and gone to the heights OF
commerce industry and finance, the men who
have gone high by grace of personal force
and the boundless opportunities of America
are arragned by these leaders as enemies of
those who have failed. They are arraigned
as cOnspirators against the hresides and
cradles OF the less fortunate
LaFollette's scheme is to fawn upon the
unfortunate and the discouraged 10 Ieeu
them pap from the treasury, and then to
break them upon a wheel if perchance the
magic of his queckery should lift them up
and make them rich
Needy, incompetent or misplaced men are
asked to rally around and make LaFollette-
ism the cornerstone of government But If
they should go through with their part of
the bargain LaFolfette will not keep the
faith. He will turn upon them the moment
IL. md ctr He
blame them for the condition of those be-
low them, unable to rise higher than they are
Thus, the endless chain, by which dema-
gogues have been continuously pulled into
power since free government first came into
the world.

The Bank Statements.

The News printed in its last issue state
ments OF the condition of the several banks
in Dawson and Terrell county. 1t was an
interesting and cheerful showing and calcu-
lated to strengthen confidence for all who
will give the figures reasonable study and
make logical deductions. The institutions
themselves, taken as a whole, are revealed
as sound and safe-in as good condition as
they have been in years, and that means
much. The statements indicate anything but
pause, stagnation; there isn't any backward
movement nor discouraging elements. There
is much money on deposit, and there is much
in the item of surplus and undivided prof
its" to show that the finances OF the county
are in steadily improving condition. The
bank statements are indicators of safe bus
mess, better times, expanding activity on
conservative yet forward-looking plans.

The Nominee for President.

In the opinion of The News the national
democratic convention made the wisest pos
sible selection in the nomination Of John W.
Davis for president At the inception OF the
campaign The News contended that it would
be fatal blunder to place the partys stand
ard in the hands Of either McAdoo or Smith,
and subsequent events proved the WIS
dom of that view The News urged the
nomination of either Ralston, of Indiana, or
Davis of West Virginia, as the most avail
able candidate,
In Mr.. Davis the party has standard
bearer to whom all genuine democrats may
look with confidence for that courageous
leadership which compels victory AS has
been said OF him, his personal professional
and political record place him unmeasur-
ABLY above the type of tine-serving dema-
gogues who have no goal but gain, no creed
but greed. no doctrine but expediency." He
is big, broad-minded American citizen OF
lofty character conservative and constructive,
and stands with both feet on the constitution
OF his country. That he will bear democracy S
standard with wisdom and honor is unani-
mously and heartily agreed.
The ticket nominated at New York de-
serves whole-hearted allegiance, and the
ranks should be closed and loyal support
given it by every democrat.

RUDE RURAL RTTYMES
JULY.

This is the time when Sol grows hotter and
makes our ong-tried. tempers totter, when,
if we work, the sweat begins to tricke down
our necks and chins; when tourists and their
tribes infest the country where we long to
rest; when harmless humans suffer jars from
boobs that drive big bruiser cars and care
full drivers in their fivvers are smashed by
speeders into slivers. This is the time your
picnic party, a-lying round and eating hearty,
inspect the food on which they crunch and
find some red ants in their lunch, while slim
mosquitoes with their bills are penetrating
Jacks and fills. This is the time when fatal
flies breed in the filth, then seek Our pies.
The critters have no bringing up; they light
upon my plate and cup. Their ways are vile,
their manners rude they scatter germs upon
my food. This bard must dig down in his
jeans to buy some patent window screens
and netting to deliver us from all these
pests carnivorous. The Hindoos think that
flies have souls and seek, like us, eternal
goals You'll likely guess, if this is so, ex-
actly where l hope they'll go. Though | am
hot hope they're hotter, while here | sweat
and swing the swatter. bob ADAMS.

Constitutional Convention.

A bill providing for constitutional con-
vention is pending in the general assembly in
Atlanta.
The News is not persuaded that any vital
need for a constitutional convention exists. In
this era of demagogues and impractical pan
aceas it would be dangerous; but if one is
to be held it is to be hoped that the general
assembly, in perfecting the measure now
pending, will take every reasonable precau-
ton to insure that the convention shall be
properly constituted that the delegates shall
be properly elected, and that they shall be
truly representative of the people of the
state.
The present constitution, patched though it
is has safeguards that should not be subject
. ed to the schemes and wiles of political
nuacks who now infest the land

Boasts Of a New Enterprise.
From the Lexington Echo.

Lexington is not much on the blow for
what it does. Things are done here, industries
established and conducted that are unknown
elsewhere, and yet we say very little or Moth
ing about it. For instance bull frog ranch
is right now in operation here, right in the
heart of town, in fact right in one of our
most prominent stores, and it gives promise
of being a signal success. 1t is doubtless
the only one in the state, even Atlanta hav-
ing not as yet as we have seen done any
blowing about one being operated within her
incorporated limits so in this case Gas in
others) Lexington is ahead of Atlanta and
the rest of the state-and has up to now made
no blow about it. For the present the stock
of the ranch consists of tadpoie that was
shipped in tank of goldfish to R. F. Brooks
for the Christmas trade. He kept it in jar
with some fish he retained as ornaments to
his store, and within the last two weeks it
has sprouted legs and is fast taking on the
shape OF frog, and Grady Howard looks
any morning now when he opens the store
to find it sitting on the edge of the jar cry
ing "Jug-o-rum." Though this ranch is a
quite small industry at present it is draw
ing lots of attentioneand interest.

The Best Advertisement.
From the Jackson Progress-Argus

A live newspaper is the best advertise
ment town can have 1t can only be a
growing, prosperous newspaper through
the cooperation of its business houses.
In return for this cooperation the news
paper is fighting for the best things in
the community all the while.-Dawson
News.
No other agency gives as much for COM
munity progress and betterment as the news
paper 1t is on the job, early and late, fight
ing for those things that mean better business
and better conditions morally, spiritually and
intellectually. The newspaper let's the world
know its community is on the map. 1t spreads
the community's growth and progress to dis
tant corners. 1t is a towns best advertise
ment Many towns that would never be
heard of otherwise are known by their news
papers.
During the course of year the newspaper
gives to the town, county and community
advertising worth thousands of dollars. If
this advertising had to be bought it would
cost dear The newspaper does it gladly,
willingly All it asks and expects in return
is the support patronage and cooperation
OF its readers and advertisers. Given that the
newspaper will fight on

Sorrow In White House.

Death strikes when and where it will. 1t
has struck down figure in public life, the
son of the president, boy approaching the
threshold of manhood, one in whom the
fondest hopes of his parents must have been
conferred with the same intensity and affec-
ton as would obtain in any American fami-
". For when Calvin Coolidge, jr. made his
losing fight Calvin Coolidge, sr, and Mrs
Coolidge were just like anyone else who has
suffered great permanent loss. The fact
that it was the presidents son merely in
tensifed the feeling of the American peo-
pie, who were saddened in millions of homes
by the news of the Coolidge family's loss.
In many respects the tragedy in the Cool
idge family-for it was a tragedy, an acct
dental death so to speaks like many 9TH
ers suffered by less illustrous parents
throughout the country. They had reared
the boy almost to manhood but had to yield
him up In many other respects the similarity
ceases Calvin Coolidge must continue to be
president and Mrs Coolidge must continue
to occupy her official position as his wife.
They cannot, like other bereaved parents,
escape their duties. That is going to make
it harder for them Besides, there is the cam
paign which the grieved father must con-
duct. He must carry on, and with the tuil
knowledge that the greatest triumph, being
elected president of the United States, can
not make up for the blow he suffered when
his boy was taken from him.

TAX BURDEN IS APPALLING.

From the Baltimore Sun.
The weight of the tax burden on the backs
of our people is simply appalling when one
considers the figures. The general prosperi-
ty of the country during the last decade has
prevented this burden from becoming intol-
erable, although individuals and classes have
suffered and are suffering terribly because
of it, but if there should be any long con
tinued business depression it would be diff
cult to overestimate the gravity of this evil
The plight of the farmers for instance, is
largely due to it.

1t is doubtful if there ever was in the his
tory of the United States so much political
bunk in circulation as there is at the present

clifton of cant phrases, partisan claptrap,
misunderstood facts and misapplied truths.
