WOMEN RATED DECIDING
FACTORS IN ELECTION
Approval Of John W. Davis Is
Predicted by Head Of Nom
Partisan League Body.

"The women of this country. are
going to decide the result of the COM
ing election, and they will approve
the policies Of tho Democratic party"
said Charles A. Douglas. president OF
the Nom Partisan League Of Nations
Association, in an address before
Democratic Club, at 2315 Massachusetts,
avenue. His subject was women in
Politics.
The career of John w. Davis as a
college and professional man was
presented by Elwood II. Seal, head
of the local branch OF the Washing
ton and Lee University Alumni
Davis Club.
Mr.. Douglas charged that there was
systematic propaganda seeking to
convince independent voters that Davis
was third in the race, but he denied
this was true. He expressed conf
dence in the approval of Davis stand
in support of the principles Of Wood
row Wilson, and said that an i'm
portant factor was the loyalty and
devotion of woman voters to con-
victions. while they had been and
would be supporters of clean gov
ernment. above ALL" he said, their
divine mission everywhere in the
world is to decree that war shall be
no more :.

LOCKWOOD HITS
REPLY OF DAVIS.
Declares He Has Failed to
Prove Charges in Connec-
, ton With Wheeler Case.

George Is. Lockwood. former Secre-
tary of the Republican national COM
,nittee, yesterday telegraphed John w.
Davis that the latter's public state
ment issuel Wednesday night in Illinois
had failed to establish proof of the
charges made by the Democratic
presidential nominee regarding the
Indictment of Senator Wheeler of
Montana.
In his statement Mr. Davis quoted
testimony before a Senate commit
tee touching on Mr. Lockwood's con-
nection with the case, and declared
that even If Mr. Lockwood were "a
person of sufficient consequence to de-
serve a reply to his earlier tele-
gram on the subject. the tone of that
message made a reply unnecessary.
Text OF Telegram
The telegram follows:
Replying to your statement, any
citizen important. enough for you to
attack on the stump is important
enough to be entitled to a fair an
swer when he demands proof OF your
charges, which you have failed to
give.
You charged, without justification.
in your Terre Haute speech that
was involved in criminal conspiracy
TO frame up Oh -SelldtOT neclel.
When challenged for proof you mere
ly cite evidence that upon learning
that Wheeler was accused of selling
his official influence to a fraudulent
oil company ! sent newspaper man
to Montana to secure material for
publication; that upon learning this
correspondent had found several wit
nesses having first-hand knowledge
OF the transaction, l instructed him
H. 1c
to the Department.. of Jusice: that
these witnesses testimony. along
with evidence previously developed
in an investigation of Senator
Wheeler's oil company clients for
using the mails to defraud. went be-
lore grand jury which decided that
it constituted a sufficient basis for
Indictment.
This, of course, no one has ever
denied or has any disposition to
deny. since it. is the duty Of every
good citizen to reveal and not hide
the crimes of public officials. You
know as a lawyer that Senator
Wheeler was. regularly indicted by 4
grand jury composed of his Montana
neighbors. not in Washington.
Cries Opposite Courses.
DO YOU really think it crime to
discover evidence of a. Democratic
Senator's malfeasance and turn it
over to the legally established tri-
buna1s for prosecution of crime, while
a virtue for your friend Wheeler to
air the testimony of criminals against
public officials in court of inquisi-
ton. governed by no rules of law or
evidence?
do you believe that when a public
official is charged with betrayal of his
trust he ought to be free from prose-
cution because he is member of your
political party, and that those who
bring to the notice of the public and
the courts the official msdoings of
public officials should be branded as
criminals for doing it? This is the
only fair conclusion that can be
drawn from your statement"

Prosperity Of the cotton farmer de
pends on whether he or the boil
weevll will collect on the investment
ing OF the cotton crop. The boil
weevil has done most OF the collect
ing in the past several years, but
farmers now are preparing to put an
end to this by applying the govern
ment methods OF control.
The boil weevil can be controlled
In any neighborhood by application
Of these methods, and a: farmers
who have not already done so are
urged TO make their plans now to use
the control measures they have been
paying experts for thirty years TO
work out. II is not easy to control
the boil weevil. II takes work and
study, but II pays when 1t is done
right. II is a waste OF time and
money when II is done wrong.
We used to think that mosquitoes
did no more than sting us. Now we
know they cause malaria. and by
screening our houses we keep out
malaria. The scientists taught US
lncbe lulHBbs AhoJ 1ah lch W hoW
TO destroy all the mosquitoes, but
they tell us how to conrol them and
to escape their damages. So the
scientists are telling us how to con.
troll the boil weevils. Their methods
are not perfect, but they are practi-
cal; they have been tested by farm
ers who have taken pains to study,
to learn and to fight the pest day by
day and week by week.
An important part OF the general
plan OF weevil control Is good farm
ing. That may be practiced by every
farmer and will help very much. 1t
will pay even when there is no wee.
vii damage or when the weather
makes poisoning too expensive for
profit. In brief. the best farmers be-
gin fighting the boil weevil by:
l. Putting the soil in fine condi-
tion; a good seed bed is necessary
TO obtain the best results.
2. Planting after danger OF frost
IL past and the earth Is warm enough
to cause quick sprouting and a good
stand.
8. Using selected seed OF a variety
that natures early.
T. Fertilizing highly TO make quick
growth and set bolls before the wee
wis multiply enough to destroy the
crop.
g. Narrow spacing. a hoes width,
and one TO three stalks to the hill.
g. Putting cotton on well'drained
land that under average conditions
will make at least a bale to three
acres and adopting the slogan, more
cotton to the acre, not more acres to
cotton"

WAR AGAINST TICKS
SHOWING RESULTS
Few Traces Of Disease In COun.
ty Says DR.. Jackson

The warfare against ticks, which
started years ago when disease infested
cattle were brought across the border
line Of Mexico and SO spread through.
out the southern state, has progressed
to a point where there are very few
traces in this part of the country, says
DIR. X. x. Jackson, head of the bureau
OF animal husbandry here.
Gases of ticks in cattle are extreme.
ly rare in Jefferson county," he con-
tinued, land if it were not for those
we find occasionally in Bib and Shelby
counties the work of our department
along that line would be fairly well
cleared up in the state.
1.-THE cooperation of officials and
cattle owners in these two counties has
been the feature of our work this year
since it was not always the case. Last
year a number of people hid out cattle
on US SO that their animals would not
have to be dipped
ut was the same way in jefferson
county when we first came here. Our
dipping watts were blown up and every
where we went we were looked on with
suspicion.
Things are different now and we
hope within the next few years to have
this section rid of the ticks forever"
