u. S. Experts Lonaie Huge Rotenoue Source

only about or per cent of the rotenone and
other insecticidal ingredients but experts be-
lieve that by proper cultivation this yield
be increased much as the sugar content of
sugar beetS was increased through develop
ment.
The weed which is a rank grower is found
distributed from New England to Minnesota
and as far south as Florida and on across to
Eastern Texas Particularly fine specimens
of devils shoestring were found in Virginia
and North Carolina. The weed grows well in
poor sandy soil and thus offers crop which
might turn otherwise almost worthless land
into valuable ground through the commercial
growth of the weed.
The roots of the weed are the source Of
rotenone and because of their size, they offer
a potentially abundant supply of the poison.
The roots run out from the stalk of the weeds
several feet in all directions and as they lie
only or inches below the surface of the
ground they are easily harvested by pulling
the plant bodily out of the ground
At the present time rotenone costs about the
as pyrethrine the poisonous principle of
the pyrethrum plant, but as development of
the rotenone production and use comes the
agriculturists believe the price may be ma
terialy reduced. Already it has found large
market for use in greenhouses, in truck gardens
and in combating heas and other insects an
noying to live stock.

THE careful observation and research work
of experts of the Department of Agriculture
have opened up source of supply within the
United States OF one Of the most valuable insec-
ticides now in use, an insecticide formerly OBJ
tanned only from the roots of the derrie plant of
the East Indies and the roots of the cube of
South America The poison is known as
rotenone, deadly to insects, but harmless to
man and beast
The discovery Of the source of rotenone in
this country was made partially by DR.. w. w.
Skinner assistant chief of the Chemical and
chronological Research Unit of the Bureau of
Chemistry and Soils and partially by Dr. E. P.
Clark of the bureaus insecticide division.
D.. Skinner while observing the activities
of bees and other insects, noted that they fed
on many nearby flowers, but avoided the
devils shoestring, common weed of the North
American continent He drew the conclusion
that some poisonous material must be present
to drive the insects away from the weed and
called this to the attention of DR.. Clark. The
latter after some experimentation discovered
the presence of the rotenone and through this
discovery, made the United States potentially
independent OF foreign supplies.
The next step il the process of producing
rotenone viii DC the propagation work of the
plant specialists of the department, an expert
mental work which will get underway this
Spring. The plant, il its natural state yields

watch-Nancy who never cared what time it
was when she was with Saint.

He put her in his roadster, still chatting
desperately about golf and the market.
Nancy felt like volcano about to erupt-

a large box from the pocket-much too
large for ring. He gave her the box, pressed

maid and dashed to her bed room. Her fingers
fumbled so at the ribbon she could hardly open
the package. At length she tore away the paper
and disclosed box of Susskind's Sweetheart

1T was a depressed and worried little copy

mothers, had introduced Saint to Nancy.
She was very smart, an incredible As with
girls zest for life.
"Oh, I had tea with ST. Lawrence Vail. He
sent his love- Nancy said the coffee cups,
as she produced the chocolates.
Sweetheart chocolates from Saint? How
daring of him. Heavens. he must have pro-
posed at last"

The maid black and benevolent, brought
Nancy a box of flowers. 1t was roses, long

Judith chuckled.
"St. Lawrence, once burned, refuses to turn

another girl grounds for breach of promise.
Tell me, did he ever write you a letter."

SO conventional and after his proposal last
night--Nancy smiled again at that memory.
She would have expected him to choose come
ones garden, or at least Carl Scllurz Park very
late at night, with the red and green lights on
the river. As matter of fact, she had not
really expected Saint to propose at all.
Most wculd-be bachelors of 80 are only young
men who not married yet. St Lawrence
Vail, though, was convincing in the role. But

DELINQUENT TAX
PAYMENTS URGED

In letter to the weekly newspapers
of the state, the state tax commission
urges a statewide delinquent tax pay
ment during the month Of November.
November, largely because Of the In
ducements offered delinquent taxpayers
by the last legislature, promises to be
one Of the greatest tax paying months
not only Of this year but Of the past
five years, 1t Is said.
The last legislature, to encourage
payment Of back taxes. authorized
county treasurers to wipe out all in
terest penalties on delinquent tax pay
ments after March 2, 1888, and before
March /, 1884. In addition the legis-
lature authorized five per cent re-
bate on all such taxes paid on or be-
fore November 80, 1888.
The tax commission is DESTROYS of
stimulating delinquent payments during
the month of November. Cleaning up
these delinquent taxes, they believe, is
essential to the welfare of the govern
ment.

COURT ORDERS
MRS. HUTTON
TO FACE TRIAL

LOS ANGELES, Jan. IA. WR)-
Aimee Semple Mcpherson Hutton,
pastor of Angelus temple, was re-
ported slightly improved today on
the heels of a court order bidding
her appear next Tuesday for trial
of a $240,00O breach of contract
suit.
Through her attorneys, the
evangelist sought to obtain six
month postponement of the trial
which is being prosecuted by j.
Roy Stewart, her former agent, who
claims she broke a contract with
him for filming her "life story"
Affidavits of a physician were Of
ttered, stating she was in a coma
tose condition as result of ner-
vous breakdown but Superior Court
Judge M. E. McComb ordered the
case to proceed as scheduled.
In opposing a continuance,
Stewart contended Mrs. Hutton's
illness was not serious.
IT am tired of working" he quoted
her as telling him last April. I'm
going to close my business affairs,
sell the temple and my husband
and are going to Europe"
Mrs. Hutton's attorney imme-
diately denied she was contemplat-
ing sale of the temple. She is con-
sidering, however, trip around the
world but her husband, Dave Hut
ton, will remain at home.
