SAYS HA|N()N TOLD
ABOUT CHECK THAT
WON FOR HARDING

WASHINGTON, April 9.-Further
inquiry into reports of deals" at
the Republican national convention
at Chicago in 1920 was made today
by the senate oil committee.
J. w. Baughn, of Harli. r,
Texas, formerly an oil operator of
Oklahoma, testified that the late
Jake L. Hamon, Republican nation
al committeeman of Oklahoma, told
him he had signed the check" that
resulted in the nomination of War
rem G. Harding. This conversation
took place after the Chicago conVen-
ton, BaIghn said. He quoted Hamon
as saying he would spend S1,O0O,OOO
if necessary to put Oklahoma In the
republican column in the general
election.
William H. Miller, of Columbus.
Ohio. testified that he assisted in
Hardings pre-convention campaign,
visiting the northwestern states.
He first met Mamon at Harding
headquarters at Indianapolis before
the convention, and later saw him at
the Chicago convention.
Il had no part in the collection or
disbursement of funds" Miller said.
j. B. French, of Oklahoma, testi-
fled last Monday that Hamon had
told him he had given $4,000 to
Miller to pay headquarters expenses
of the Harding committee at Chi
cago.
There was no discussion of oil lands
or leases at either of his meetings
with Hamon, Miller said. Mamon
had told him at the Indianapolis
meeting that he was for LoWden,
he said, but had added that Mrs.
Hamon was a distant relative of
President Harding and was impor-
tuning him to support Harding. The
witness then denied specifically that
Hamon had given him $4,000 to
pay the expenses of Harding head
quarters at Chicago.
The committee adjourned until
Friday because of the difficulty in
getting the attendance of witnesses.
The long inquiry is entering its
final stages, Senator Walsh, Dem
ocrat, Montana, trying to wind up
the public hearings this week.

Boys Clubs to Strive
To Win Chicago Trip
For Best Cotton Crop

AS q result of the announcement
that the Georgia and the Atlanta
and West Point railroads will give
a free trip to the National Boys
club congress in Chicago to the boy
who produces the best acre Of cot
ton in 1924, letters have been sent
by G. V. Cunningham, state boys
club agent, to all county agents in
counties traversed by the two roads
advising them of the railroad of.
ficials' decision. The congress will
be held in connection with the inter-
national live stock show in Chicago.
The agricultural department of the
two railroads will cooperate with
state officials in furnishing 1nforma-
ton relative to the production of
cotton and other farm products in
preparation for the contest, it Is
stated. This information may be
obtained from the general agrlcul-
tural agent Of the roads, 120 East
Hunter street, Atlanta.
Mr.. Cunningham letter to the
county agents is as follows:
This is to advise you thai the
agricultural department Of the Geor-
gia railroad and the A. & w. P. r.
r. have q free trip to the National
Boys club congress in connection
with the international live stock
show at Chicago, to the boy produc-
ing the best acre of cotton accord
ing to the rules governing Boys Cot
ton club work along their lines. You
will so advise your boys.
This is the first trip to the inter
national offered by any railroads
in the state, but trust it will not
be the only one. Anyway these
railroads have taken a very progress
sive step in the direction of helping
promote boys club work. / am hop
ing that the results obtained be-
cause of this offer will make the
railroads feel that it has been money
we'll spent"

EARLY POISONING
MOST IMPORTANT
IN WEEV|L FIGHT

AMERICUS, April 10.-More than
five hundred Americas and Sumter
county business men heard r. H. J.
DeLoach, weevil expert, in q series
Of lectures delivered Tuesday and
Wednesday at Americas, Leslie and
Plains, in which he explained the
Armour method OF poisoning. The
gist of the method is to poison
thoroughly when the cotton is young.
Don't wait until you find fallen
squares o. find live weeVils in your
fields is the advice of DR.. DeLoach,
who came here at the invitation OF
the Americas and Sumter County
Chamber of Commerce.
The time to poison" he says, "is
before the weevil gets a start, and
the way to poison is to poison thor
oughly. Too much attention cannot
be paid the first poisoning, he states,
and this poisoning should begin ten
DAYS before the first squares begin
to make. their appearance.
POISON the weevil's plate, and you
poison the weevil," was another
statement he made in the course Of
his talks. But don't be deceived"
he says, Unto believing that the
weevil feeds only on the bud, the
square and the boil of the cotton
plant These are preferred feeding
places, but when neither of these is
available, the weevil feeds upon the
tender underside of the leaf of the
cotton plant. This has been demon
strated beyond a doubt IS has been
the fact that the weeVil eats as well
as drinks. If farmers will begin
poisoning early, ten days before the
squares begin and continue the proc
ess, doing the work thoroughly every
five days until four applications have
been made. the bulk of the weevils
VIII be destroyed before they can
do moe hdamage to the cotton yield.
TO prove the correctness of his
contention, he cited the yields Sc
cured by Armour & Co., on their big
plantation in Calhoun county, near
Arlington. where yields exceeding
those of the pre-weevil era We're Sc
cured last year through use of the
metfcd. He says he used dry calcium
arserate, but has no argument with
the man who prefers the sweet
method. The trick lies, he says, in
thoroughly poisoning the plants, and
doing this early before the weevils
begin to multiply rapidly and conse-
Quently easily get beyond control.
Weevil control under the Armour
method, he declares, Is not only
practicable and certain, but it is COM
paratively easy and cheap as we'll.

Known to Indians as Well as
Great White Spirit, West
erner Sells Oil Lands Worth
Half Billion
BY ROY J. GIBBONS

SKEDEE, Okla, April 9.-knock-
ing down valuable oil lands to the
highest bidder at a million or more
dollars a knock is easy as puddin' to
Colonel Z. Walters.
To date, this genial, broad-shoul-
dered westerner, with home and
sombrero rack here, has sold more
than half billion dollars worth Of
property under the hammer.
For a generation the ultra rich
have been his patrons. Hobnobbing
with millionaires lono since has lost
it's novelty for him.
And with the different Indian
tribes here on his own stamping
ground, the name Walters is synon-
ymous with the Great White Spirit.
Wins Indians Confidence
Perhaps no other white man has
won the confidence of the red man
like Walters, super salesman and
auctioneer de luxe.
Walters for years has conducted
the sales of the Usage Indian lands
to oil prospectors. In SO doing, he's
brought something like Sal, 060,754
into the triba. eXchequers.
Just the other day in Pawhuskd
he dragged in another $4000,000 for
them. Little wonder the Osages are
the richest group of people per cap
ita on earth.
Yet through all this downpour of
riches, Walters hasn't lost his per
spective. Nor has his sense OF val,
ues been distorted.
We're all on the block" he says.
ITO bring a decent price we've go1
to keep from getting sidetracked
Money isn't everything. Children,
home, a good wife, loving mother
are far more valuable than gold"
The dean of auctioneers is fifty
seven. And Colonel really happens
to be his first name-not title
he's adopted
AS youngster, he came west. Foo
some years. he tried ranching.
Voice Wins Out
But the voice which originally
destined him to be a singer would
not be hushed. Friends persuaded
him to try auctioneering. He did,
Since then, he's sold land in 26
states.
He's presided over sales where
million dollar checks were pulled
out as freely as Russian rubles or
German marks. He's seen staid cap.
italists act like lunatics while his
hammer kept a-tappin' down select
fields in gusher territory.
70 Walters is married and has mar
ried daughter.
Numerous decorations have been
bestowed upon him. But most Of al.
he values the gold-hammered and
diamond-tsuded pin the Usage tribe
gave him as token OF its apprecia'
ton for his loyalty and service.
