WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-Avia-

the attempt to fly from San Fran

heavier-than-air craft tc accomplish

The dirigible is far harder hit

it is quite likely full stop has been

plane certainly has been consider

Not only were army and nevy

very kindly consideration of their

The army and navy men may

THIS MAY BE BULL,
BUT LET US HOPE 1T
IS THE GENUINE TRUTH

The boil weevil has found
good picking by birds and tur-
keys and now reports state that
"our old friend"-the bullbat-
delights to make his supper of
weevils.
This story comes from the
Abel, Ga, correspondent of the
Triton (Ga.) Gazette.
Zone of the members of the
Farmers Union of Cook coun-
ty, F. T. Mcdaniel, said there
were a large number of bull
bats flying over his cotton field
every afternoon and he believed
they were eating boil weevils.
So he killed one of the bullbats
to see.
Cutting open the craw of
the bullbat, Mr.. Mcdaniel said
he found 95 boil weevils,
fourth of which we're still alive"
The Abel correspondent there
upon gives this advice: Don't
kill bullbats. Protect them.
They are worth their weight in
gold to the cotton farmer.

40 points over Tuesdays close,
bringing the price of the staple at

eighth cents per pound. A crop

reason for the rise.
WarehOusemen and representa-

that the price of cotton will reach

600 and $4,000 bales this year,
while the fields in the cotton grow
