REAL BOIL WEEvIL
BATTLE IN PROSPECT
MORE WEEVILS GO INTO WIN
TER QUARTERS THAN EVER
KNOWN, SAYS CAMPBELL.

That more boil weevils have gone
into Information this fall than at any
time since the advent of this pest into
the state, was the statement of J. Phil
Campbell, director OF extension work
of the State College of Agriculture,
after an investigation in all parts Of
Georgia last week If those who are
of the opinion that the boil weevil is
thing of the past had only gone into
their fields before the recent killing
frost they would have found more
weevils than they had even seen be-
fore" he said.
THE cold of the past few days"
continued Director Campbell, has
driven the weevils into winter quar-
tiers, and nothing can be done now
to prevent the greatest emergence in
the spring farmers have ever witness
ed. 1t is too late for turning under
stalks to do any good So far as the
weevil is concerned, and the only
things to be done now is stock up
with a good supply of calcium arsen-
ate during the winter and be prepared
to carry on the fight next spring.
Investigation shows that Georgia
farmers purchased about fifteen mil
lion pounds of calcium arsenate last
year and used about ten million
pounds Next year it is very prob
able that all the poison that can be
secured will be needed, and at least
thirty million pounds should be on
hand when the crop is planted.
Farmers are facing one OF the
greatest crises in history, and unless
due heed of the situation is taken and
preparations made greater disaster
than has been known in many years
is certain to be the result

Some Girls Who Go Unkissed

two women who hate each other will
kiss for the same reason. These uses
are degradation of one OF the most
beautiful modes of expression in the
world
In Iceland they do not understand
the kiss as a mode of salutation, but
it is regarded as something belonging
to the supernatural If child is Ill
you will sometimes see its mother Sc
cretly kiss the little one on the breast
an invocation to the Supreme Beng
that the child may be cured.
We are not altogether without SUI
perstition regarding the kiss. At one
time many gambler might have been
seen kissing the cards to bring him
luck. and the warrior before starting
out to battle would kiss the favor Civ
en- him by his lady to insure victory
and to enhance his safety Until lately
we kissed the Book when we took
the oath TO speak the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth"
And who has not seen a mother
take her child in her arms and kiss
the bruise to make it well?"

LONDON FIGHTING
A WORLD OF RATS
THREE MILLION OF RODENTS
MEET DEATH IN ONE WEEK
OF BIG CAMPAIGN.

Rats which infest old London hous-

ers and subways-and cost the city a
million pounds annually in damage

Week." recently ended.
1t was estimated that more than
100000 rodents met death at the
hands of professional rat-catchers,
school boys and girls and private cltl-
zens, who hunted the pests out with
every conceivable means. One vermin-
chasing company alone was reported
to have accounted for 100000 rats.
The press took up the campaign and
one enthusiastic writer asserted he
had seen. on moonlight nights, whole
companies OF rats frolicking through
Piccadilly. One hospital manager de
clared he discovered tight-rope walk
ing brown-coats entering the hospital
along electric light wires stretched
from the roof across the street.
London sanitation officials do not
want the war on the rodents to end
with the mere humiliation of 3,OOO,-
600, and they urge that the campaign
be kept up until the body OF London's
last rat is given a place in the city

There are some girls who are new
er kissed, says an article in the Wash
ington Star. The japanese lover, Tor
instance, does not salute his betrothed
in our fashion. He regards kissing as
a queer foreign custom; it has no
meaning for him. In China the kiss IS
considered disgraceful
But. although the kiss is unknown
or at any rate neglected in many parts
OF the world, nearly every nation has
some form of salutation which CORE
spends with the European kiss. The
Malays and the Eskimos greet each
other by rubbing noses. Among the
Burmese the form OF greeting which
denotes affection is to apply the cheek
and draw a long breath.
1t is true that the kiss IS also used
as a means of salutation where there
is no affection or even respect. Chill
dren. for instance, are taught that they
must kiss people for whom they may
have strong antipathy, simply be-
cause it is the proper thing to do, and

For years past practically every
merchant that handles rutabagas in
the fall and winter months has usually
sold the Canadian turnip.
This year Davis brothers planted 20
acres and will harvest approximately
fifty to seventy-hve tons, which they
will sell and deliver to the wholesalers
at an excellent price.

mand from merchants in this territory,

HOW DOCTORS TREAT
COLDS AND THE FLU

To break up cold over night or to cut
short an attack of grippe, influenza or sore
throat, physicians and druggists are now
recommending Calotabs, the nausealess
Calomel tablet, that is purified from dan
gerous and sickening effects. Those who
have tried it say that it acts like magic, by
far more effective and certain than the old
style calomel, heretofore recommended by
physicians.
One or two Calotabs at bed time with
a swallow of water,-that's all. No salts,
no nausea nor the slightest interference
with eating, work or pleasures. Next morn
ing your cold has vanished and your sys-
TEN feels refreshed and purified. Calotabs
are sold only in original sealed packages,
price ten cents for the vest-pocket size;
thirty-five cents for the large family pack
age. Recommended and guaranteed by
druggists. Your money back if you are not
delighted.

fed by the United States Department
Of Agriculture, the trees are OF the
Schley variety, which has a national
reputation as highbrow pecan, but
which is somewhat shy on bearing
qualities. The five trees were set so
feet apart and given good attention,
with the following production record
scored:
1897 first crop OF IS pounds, sold
for $17 so; 1893 second crop 81 pounds,
sold for $1,000; 1899 third crop o.
pounds, sold for $3.50; 1000 fourth

CARLOAD SWEET POTATOES
SHIPPED FROM BLAKELY
Carload of Early County Syrup VIII
Next Go to Market.

The Early County News says a
carload of sweet potatoes was shipp-
ed from Blakely last Tuesday The
potatoes were field run, shipped in
bulk and represented a clean, clear
pickup for the farmers OF Early coun-
ty, since most of them would have
been left in the ground for the hogs
to harvest. The potatoes were graded
to inches in diameter, with no
cuts, cracks or splits.
1t is intended to ship a carload Of
syrup in cans at an early date, which
will enable farmers with a few cans
or with hundreds of cans to get a
ready sale. This is another forward
step and will prove that all farm prod
ucts can be sold if only the right
methods are used.

USES BABY IN HOAX,
WOMAN CONFESSES
OBTAINS WAIF FROM SANTA
RUM TO DECEIVE FORMER
MILLIONAIRE HUSBAND.

NEW YORK, N. "a six weeks
old bov-a wait from Kansas City,
Mo.-was the chief actor in domea-
tic drama revealed before Supreme
Court Justice Gavegan today, that had
as its main theme the deception OF a
wealthy former husband
Confronted by evidence gathered in
Kansas City, St Louis and Hannibal,
Mo. Mrs. Lydia Locke Marks ad-
mitted that she had obtained the baby
under false pretenses and brought HIM
here in an attempt to. persuade the
husband she recently divorced that
the child was hers and that he was
the father.
A Former Millionaire.
Her former husband, Arthur Hud-
son Marks. millionaire organ and au-
tomobile tire manufacturer, was re-
sDonsible for today's court action,
which ended with an order for the re-
turn of the child to Willows SANTA
rum in Kansas City. The boy was
given into the custody OF f. ?. How
arth. superintendent of the santarlum,
upon whose writ of habeas corpus
Mrs. Marks had been compelled to
produce the infant in court. Marks, 1t
was developed at the hearing, was dl-
vorced by Mrs. Marks in September,
1923. when, it is understood, he set
tied on her 100000 in cash and plac-
ed 100000 in a fund to be held IN
trust for her They were married IN
December, 1917. Mrs. Marks, the for
mer lydia Locke, CONCERT singer pre-
viously had been married to Lord
Reginald Talbot of England and Or
Vile Harold, grand opera singer.
Frederick A. Scoheld, attorney for
Mr. Marks, informed Justice Gavegan
that Mrs. Marks often had told her,
husband after she had instituted di-
yorce proceedings that she was soon
TO become a mother. She appeared
in New York on Oct. IA with a child
and nurse. and communicated with
her former husband and asked him TO
acknowledge the boy as his own the
attorney said.

Mr. Marks, according to Scofeld,
employed private detectives, WI o
learned that Mrs. Marks had obtained
the child in the Kansas City santa
rum by representing herself as Mrs.
Ira Johnson, of Hannibal, Mo, and
presenting letters which apparently es-
tablished her as a woman of respon-
sibility. Then, the court was told,
Mrs. Marks took the boy, at that
time but few days old, to the St.
Louis home Of her sister, Mrs. Jane
Schmidt, where she represented the
baby as her own. DR.. N. Potter made
an affidavit admitting that he had
been persuaded to issue birth GER

George Friedrich Handel. like
many other musicians, had a life of
strife and disappointments. Born at
Halle, in 1885, his first musical en-
deavors were expressed, with strong
opposition from his father, on tho
clavicord. Handel was urged by his
father to be a lawyer.
A period of about seven years. up
to the time he was IS, Handel spent
in intensive study. Later he went
to England where he became nat
uralized and spent the rest of his life
1t was then that he began to grow
famous, receiving pension of $10,-
600 from Queen Anne. Later, what
one might term his decline set in. as
the jealousy that his indisputable art
incurred led to financial failures and
disappointments. His health gave
way which apparently led him to
realize the spiritual significance of
music. 1t was during this period
that he wrote his beautiful oratorios,
the most well-known of which is the
Messiah" In 1851, he became blind,
and died in 1859, soon after he had
conducted the first performance of
his masterpiece, the Messiah"

However, in the class of paving
materials combining noiselessness
with durability wood blocks have
been practically without competi-

To the bankers the school hour
was a meeting place To the bandits

was the extraction of nitro glycerin
from a stick of dynamite. OF course.
this was carried out on paper.

education it is hard to resist. I found
this out after I was released from
