been done toward buying a club house
they were investigating every piece
of property brought to their atten-
ton as suitable for a club home. All
members were urged to cooperate
with the committee by notifying them
of any property near the square that
could be bought and would be suita-
bic for that purpose.
The organization of Garden Sec
ton in the club was discussed and
Mrs. Floyd Northcutt's name was
proposed as chairman of that section.
The program arranged for this
meeting was on thrift in observance
of National Thrift Week, and inclu-
ded talks by Mrs. John NJ. Graham.
DIR. |. A. White and Mr.. J. E. Mich
OILS. Mr.. Nichols stated that on the
subject of thrift he was in the same
predicament as the old darkey of
whom he enquired the meaning of
thrift and who answered, eyes, Boss
L knows de meanin' OBJ thrift but !
can't zactly 'splain it." Mrs. Graham
concurred that since the mails had
brought her no thrift suggestions for
which a prize had been offered it
must be that the club women found
themselves in the same situation as
the old darkey. All agreed however
that thrift was practiced most effec-
lively in taking care of and making
the most out of what one has wheth-
er in time, health or money, and a
number of splendid ideas were adj
vanced by the speakers.
Mr.. Nichols, who is an expert and
nationally known rat killer, is in the
'city to wage war on rats for the next
two weeks. He gave some stagger.
ing, figures on the waste caused by
rats stating that last year our coun.
try suffered a loss of one billion dol.
lars from these pests. He called upor
the housewives to cooperate with
him in this cleanup campaign, civ
ing direction on what to use and how
to use it.
At the close of the program Mrs
Hague presented Mrs. I. A. White
with an engraved silver pencil on be
half of the club as token of theil
love and the esteem in which she il
held. Mrs. White was instrumental
in organizing the club and was elect
ed the first president. When he1
term of office expired she was elect
ed recording secretary, which office
she now fills most efficiently. Mrs
Whites leaving to make her home il
Gainesville is profoundly regretted
by the club which she has served 81
devotedly.
An informal reception was hell
honoring Mrs. White, and dainty re
Jfreshments served.

British Anmen Wing
North Across Pacific
On World Flight Hop

TOXIC, July 23.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press 1.-The MacLaren party
of British 'round-the-worl aviators
is winging it's way northward
through the Kuriles today.
Forced down by fog week ago on
Uruppu Island, near the southern
end of the I<urile chain, and for Il
time feared to have persisted, the
filters early today left Tokotan Bay,
on Uruppu, for Murakami Bay on
Paramashiru, the most northerly of
the larger Kuriles, and their last
stop in the Japanese empire.
Dispatches telling OF the filters
take-off brought the first news of an
unsupported reason for their delay
in starting on again from Uruppu,
the illness of Flying Officer w. n.
Plenderleith. Previously the delay
in resumption of the flight had been
attributed to alternate high winds
and heavy fogs, both common oc-
currences in the kuriles, but today
it developed that these had been
only contributory causes.

as much a thief as the pickpocket.
For the man who buys things from
shop, and fails to pay for them,
has robbed the merchant just as
much as If he had pilfered the goods
from the shelves.
AS long as you owe another man
a dollar the money is his, and you
have no right to use it for your own
pleasure. Moreover, sooner or later.
the rainy day comes to every one
and the man who has made no pro.
vision for it becomes a burden upon
the thrifty. Often little children
and old people are deprived of the
very necessities of life because some
extravagant man or woman who has
wasted his or her substance in
riotous living, has to be taken
care of.
Therefore, it becomes our duty
not to earn money, but to use it
wisely and well, and to take care of
it in order that we may not defraud
others No man is really honest
who doesn't do this. Being generous
doesn't compensate for being just 1t

Bees will tend to increase the pro-

damage them. They are great car

which bear nectar. Their coats be-
come covered with pollen grains,
which they carry to the next plant

protected and safeguarded because
they render a most fundamental
service TO mankind.

only effective procedure developed
for the protection Of this crop
against the boil weevil is what is
known as the busting plan In which
calcium arsenate is used.
During the early stages OF growth,
when the plants are small, one may
make a mixture of pound or hlgh-
grade calcium arsenate, a gallon OF
water, and a gallon of syrup. These
ingredients must be very Thoroughly
mixed together and applied to the
buds of the young plants with
mon. AS this material deteriorates
on standing, it should only be used
in a fresh condition. When the cot
ton plants have developed to con-
siderable size, they should be busted
with calcium arsenate. Bathing
them in an impalpable dust cloud Is
the end to be sought. The boil Wee
vii does not eat calcium arsenate, but
takes it in solution in the form or
dewdrops Hence. the spraying must
be done when the cotton plant is
moist with dew. The calcium arse
nate must be applied in the form OF

to protect the cotton crop to any
appreciate extent against boil wee

ANSWERS TO ENOUIRERS


This is the time of year that many
people think that they can pay less
attention to their poultry than they
did earlier in the year The many
years that L have fooled" with
chickens and turkeys has taught me
that there must be as much atten-
ton given them in July as in jan
uary, but of a different sort. Now
we must see that they do not have
heating feed, must have green feed,
be free from vermin and have plenty
of water and shade.
Right here let me advise those who
have never tried them, there is moth
ing better on a poultry plant than
a clump of palma Christa, castor
bean. They make a dense shade of

about two feet from the garden
fence, there is about ten feet devot-

clusters, just as the seed fell last
year, and extend at least ten feet.
empty ashes there in the winter;
sometimes sweep the trash there so
as to keep a good loan for the hens
to wallow in. Now the trees are
higher than mans head and the
under leaves have dropped, but if
you could see the flock come there
as they finish their roaming for the
morning you would be sure to plant
some this fall. Then, if you're trou-
bled with moles there is nothing bet.
ter to poison them. Just get the husk
off the ripe seed and put several in
a run. That will be the last of that
mole
But to return to the poultry, l
have several times given you the for
mula for Douglas mixture, but as it
is time to use it, l will again put
it before you.
Douglas mixture: Almost fill a
gallon glass jug, the sort you buy
with vinegar, with soft water, either
rain or cistern, and into that put
half a pound of copperas, shake it

hours, then add half an ounce of
sulphuric acid. After shaking we'll
it is ready to use. Put three table
spoonfuls of this douglas mixture)
to a gallon of drinking water. 1t is
fine tonic to give the noting flock.
After they have it for a week skip
several days and begin again, and
let them have it at least three times
during the noting season.
All this month my hens have a
very light diet, they are looking fad
ed, and some are ragged, but I shall
gradually go back to the laying ra-
ton. They have done splendidly as
it is, but L want them to be all dress
ed up by the middle of October. If
