for a fight to the finish with the
boil weevil this year. A large guam
tity of the prepared poison has been
bought throughout the county while
many farmers are buying the cal

chimes Of all kinds have been pur-
chased and also various types of
weevil catchers.
The farmers are planning to APP
ply the liquid poison direct to the
bud Of the plant while it is small
and the weevil few. Later when the
cotton is larger and the weevil more
numerous, the squares will be
picked up and the cotton busted as
often as possible and continuously
until the crop is made.
In 1922 Terrell county made
over twenty thousand bales of cot
son and with favorable weather con.
ditions, the farmers believe thai

SIDELIGHTS ON SHIEK

Interesting sidelights on real
sheiks are supplied by Wanda Haw-
ley, who recently returned to Hol-
lywood after spending six months
in Egypt, and who will be seen here
at the Rylander Theater on Thurs
day and Friday in "The Man from
Brodney's," a Vitagraph special
production based upon the famous
novel of the same name by George
Barr McCutcheon.
Upon her return to this country,
Miss Hawley expressed her DELIGHT
in getting away from the 'sheiks'
who have become standard-bearers
in literature and drama of today.
Miss Hawley takes exception to
the general conception of what a
sheik really is. She reports that
the spelling of sheik is wrong. In
Egypt the spelling is "sheykh "
Even the pronunciation is wrong,
according to the actress. 1t is pro-
nounced "shake."

CALHOUN FARMERS

ARLINGTON. May Seventy
five per cent of the farmers in this
section will use calcium arsenate
to combat the boil weevil during
1924, according to an estimate by
several close observers of farming
conditions in this section.
At this early time in the season
the prospects for a good crop this
year are fine, as practically every
farmer has good stand of cotton.

NEW. YORK, May I5.-Encour-
aged by the first actual test of
their strength, Officials Of the Unit
ed States Lawn Tennis Association
were expected to issue today q call
for national meeting to reconsider
the player-writer rule. ot
The West Side Tennis club, larg-
est and most influential club affi-
lated with the association, after a
stormy meeting that run late last
night voted 1S1 to 155 to support
the rule which will make Bill Til.
den, national champion, profess
sional unless he gives up newspaper
writing. '.s 10
Tennis officials who have been
pushing the fight against Tilden,
accepted the vote as Il complete vic
tory and felt assured of their abil-
ity to keep the rule on the book
after a national session..
1t was. pointed out that the. West
Side Club has built at Forest Hills
a stadium which put the club great
ly in debt and if the club felt that
it could sacrifice the drawing pow-
er of Tilden at its national matches
that other clubs, with much less per-
sOnal financial risk, certainly would
affirm the rule again ON its second
vote. z 4 n II III 81

has stayed in the ring with Jack
Dempsey for Is rounds since Jack
won the title, went through his
usual round of training activities,
apparently unconcerned the curious
onlookers moved from his camp to

Arrival of Carpenter and the
statement Of his managers that
