The Andrew j. Jones Boil

pie device for getting rid Of
this destructive pest, invented
by Texas farmer and patent
ed in May of this year, was
successfully demonstrated in
cotton fields on the w. V. Fra
zler farm, near Washington,
Monday and Tuesday by Judge
S. d. Goswick of Mineral
Wells, Texas.
A number of local farmers
and business men witnessed
the demonstrations. Seeing the
weevil and assortment of other
iasects gathered in by the ma
chine, and then making care
gful examination of the cotton
and inc'ing none. left,
they were convinced that the
machine has merit.
1t is claimed by the inventors
that cotton can be treated
with the machine at one-tenth
the cost of poison and that the
treatment is more effective be-
cause it gathers up the squares
containing weevil gruts that
alc not reached by the poison
method.
The machine is small affaii
Of simple construct on and it
is attached to the tongue of a
cultivator. It straddles the
cotton low and there are nu
mcrous flexible steel springs
which brush through the cot

MANY FAIL TO
ASSESS TAXES
Assessors Rushed On Closing
Ddy-Mdny SdUed Penalty
BY NeWS Notice.

The county tax assessing
dates closed Monday. Judge
R. L. Byers, deputy assessor,
is now busy alphabetically
listing the names and will
soon begin to book the list.
There were many who failed
to assess through ignorance of
dates, etc. There mas been
considerable complaint about
the lack of publicity of assess
ing dates this year. The assess
ors state that an article in last
weeks Telegraph, inform
ing the people of the closing
day, brought in a large num-
Der who were under the im4
preston that another round
would be made.
1t is probably due to the
fact that the dates were not
thoroughly advertised t h a
many are delinquent in assess
ing.
Heretofore, the tax assessing
dates have been run through
out the entire period of assess
ing, in the county paper and
no, or little, confusion result
ed. The dates were dropped
from the paper when COM
pleted and every tax payer
could see his date every wedk.
This was dcac at az expeiSe Of

PARENT-TEACHE R
ASSO'N FORMED
s. /. A. ReOrgGRized Into NeW
OrgaHizatiOn-PIdR Much
ActiUity.

The death knell of the Wash
ington School Improvement AS
sociation was sounded at a
meeting of that body Wednes-
day afternoon at the Presbyte-
rian church and the new, mod
ern and aggressive organiza-
ton, Parent-Teachers' Asso-
citation, born into the school
district.
The old S. /. A. was believed
to be too restrictive and did
not convey the idea that every
citizen should be a member.
The Parent-Teachers' Asso-
citation is more flexible and it
is is expected that the organi-
zation will be larger, and a
greater interest manifested by
every advocate of education in
the community.
The S. l. A. did its best to
keep the school building in
good condition and the campus
in a neat and sanitary manner.
A complete reorganization
was effected at the Wednesday
meeting and the old officers
elected to direct the new asso-
citation. They are: Mrs. j. E.
Gold, president; Mrs. c. N.
Trimble, vice-president; Mrs.
Clyde Kolb, secretary.
The new assoeiation Is ham
dicapped from the start with
the burden of considerable
debt incurred in renewing the
roof and other repairs on the
school building. The building
is now in a state of almost in
occupancy. In one room there
are 13 window lights tottering,
ready to fall The ladies, too,
are tottering under the burden
of debt, due to the apathetic
attitude of the men whose 10y
atty to their children and
homes have been more or less
unsteady through their failure
o cooperate in the school asso-
ciaticn.
Tie ladies will begin at
once to raise. money and the
citizens generally are expect
ed to support their every effort
unstintedly.

tertainments to raise money,

an unerring nose for statesmen with
