How the Boil Weevil
Multiplies

The Albany Herald gives
some idea of the rapidity with
which the boil weevil repro
duces itself, growing from one
to millions in a single season, in
the following editorial;
It is to be borne in mind that
under favorable conditions one
female weevil will lay as many as
a hundred eggs in a hundred cot
ton squares. In a surprisingly
short time these eggs will hatch,
and in a little over two weeks
from the time the egg is laid a
weevil energies. The female
weevil will begin laying when
she is a week old, and her hum
dred eggs win be deposited as
fast as she can drill holes in cot
ton squares for their reception.
At this rate of multiplication, it
is easy to understand that in a
very short time the progeny of
a single weevii viii run into mill
lions. 1t has been estimated that
the possible progeny of a single
weeviE in a single spring and
summer is something like eleven
million. Such a calculation as
sumes, of course, that every egg
would hatch and every weeyil live
the allotted life span.
Every weevil killed today pre-
vents the destruction Of cotton
by millions of weevils later
Poison today and tomorrow
and just as long as there's a wee
vii in the fields.
Do this and we shall get that
$4,000 bales this fall.

This self-styled champion of

regardless of whether Congress
is in session or not; this evangel

put the world on notice that he
had nominated himself for the
Nice-Presidency of the United
States.
Day in and day out he had
waged a consistent campaign
for himself; he has made il
known from every stump and
doorstep that if nominated, he
would accept. ~And he didnt
insist on naming the head of
the ticket.
That convention of favorite
sons gave Little Willy A VOTE.

Good Old Days It's
a Joke

The good old days" have
been painted in romantic colors
by fiction writers. That's why
they seem attractive to people
today. But if you could turn
the clock back few hundred
years and live the life of those
times, you d buy a return ticket
promptly.
A fiction writer makes an old
time dungeon ahuring, romantic,
adventurous. Truth is. the dun
geon was damp, cold, dark, in
tested with rats. reeking with
lice. Guards were brutal. Just
ice was slow. Penalties were
severe. Food was mainly moul-
dy old bread and water.
Good old days? It's jokel
Fine from a distance. The
good old days are NOW.
England gets ready to cele-
brate, in 1882, the Booth ami
versary Of the first use of forks
by the British Before then,
they ate with their fingers.
Three centuries seem long
ago. It is. But in 1852 when
some unknown English progress
sive brought the first fork over
from France, the good old
days were at their best.
Shakespeare had been dead
10 years. The Immortal Bard
never used a fork. He never
saw one. 1t must have been a
sight to watch people eat in
those good old days.
Sewage systems were not in
use in the good old days Re
fuse and dishwater' were tossed
into the cutters. Small wonder,
plaques made people die ike
flies.
No one had running water for
kitchen and bath. Carrying wa
ter in buckets a long distance or
buying it from water carts =
these are not attractive. People
bathed so seldom that they had
to invent high-power perfumes
in order to get within speaking
distance of each other.
1t was an age Of discomforts
and inconvenience. No labor
saving devices had been invent
ed for homes. Women work
ed themselves into their graves
prematurely.
Ignorance and medical super
stition were frightful.
Morals several centuries ago
were so lax that, by comparison,
the Jazz tendency Of our gen
Grafton Is tame.
Crime was far more prevalent
than now. No one could take
a short stagecoach trip between
towns safely without carrying a
brace Of pistols.
Men were imprisoned for
debt.

A Fable With a Moral

1t isn't difficult for US NOR
tails to become unbalanced OF
some subjects. He who per.
sues only one line of endeavol
or one train of thought otter
becomes fanaticaf' or illogical
making a mountain out of {
mole hill. Here's story from
an exchange-with a moral.
There was a certain nan nam
ed Jones who lived in the noun
tains and was very devout. He
possessed a wife, a son, a dog and
a firm conviction that none merit
the favor Of Heaven except those
whose boards and locks remain
untrimmed.
He believed it sinful to drink
moonshine, to fish on Sunday,
to gamble or to fight. To be
sure, he drank, fshed and gam
bled when sorely tempted; but
following these orgies he repent
ed bitterly and he did not fight
at all. 4
One day a neighbor who lived
across the valley met Mrs. Jones
and rebuked her sharply and
profanely for talking too much
about his affairs. Mrs. Jones,
enraged and impotent, carried the
news of this encounter to her
husband and tearfully urged him
to do battle in her name.
'No," said Jones; cts sinful
to fight and | suspect you have
been talking too much,
At another tine neighbor
became enraged because the
Jones boy called him Badly"
and gave the youngster an I'M
merciful beating. Once again
Jones was urged to grid up his
IONS and 60 on the warpath. but
he swallowed his anger and told
the boy TO remember his man
ners in the future.
The third test came when Jones
visited the little store in the val
ley. His dog went with him and
was 50 indiscreet as to lie down
in the pathway leading to the
spring. A hillman, who was
drunk, came that way and kicked
the dog into the laurel bushes ten
feet away. Here, surely, was
occasion for blOodshed, and spec
tators began 10 seek cover But
Jones did not draw. His face
was dark with rage, but be gath
cred up bis packages, whiztled 80
his dog and went his way Ia FL
lsnce. This seems incredible, but
anything can happen 10 story.

The Greeks, however, held their

One Of the freaks Of the re-
cent storm was to catch up in
its swirling grip sea-bird such
as was never seen in these parts
before, and hUrl it, dead, to the
ground on the Bloomfield road.
a few miles from Macon.
The bird was placed on dis
play at one Of the leading drug
stores with q card ATTACHED ask
ing that someone give the correcc
name of it.
In few minutes along came a
Boy Scout, who wrote under
meath the card the simple but ali
sufficient statement that it was
the female of the read-throated
loom. 1t had probably been
blown all the way from the Gulf
Of Mexico
1t was a comparatively unirn-
portant incident, but at the same
time it was a striking illustration
of the accuracy, variety and ex-
tent Of the information acquired
by the Boy Scouts, and was, in
q modest way, a reminder Of
how much we owe to this manly,
