HOW TO DESTROY
COTTON ARMY WORM
U. S. Dept, of Agriculture Tells
How Farmers May Destroy
This Serious Pest
--
The simplest possible meth
od for destroying cotton worms!
is to apply dry poison like!
Paris Green or powdered ar-j
senate of lead dusted through
bags, carried at the end of aj
piece of narrow beard by a ]
man riding a mule or horse.
This carries two rows at a!
time and from 15 to 20 acres!
can be treated by one man in
a day.
A very convenient arrange
ment can be made from a 1 x
S3 inch board. The length
should be from 12 to 18 inches,
longer than the distance be-]
tween cotton rows. A large
hole is bored six inches from
the end, through which the poi
. son can be poured into the'
bags which are tacked to the
I ends, preferrably lengthwise
instead of hanging down. These
holes are closed with plugs or
stoppers after the poison has
been put into the bags. This
gives a splendid distribution
of the poison over the row'. I
Various kinds of cloth may be
used, but should be of such
thickness as to held the poison
and not give it out too fast.
Old flour bags are often used
to advantage.
Two pounds of Paris Green
mixed with from 10 to 20
pounds of flour are used per
acre. The amount of poison
distributed will depend upon
the tightness of the cloth and
the amount of shaking given
the pole. A tight cloth with
frequent light taps on the pole
will.give far more even distri
bution than wjll as open cloth
and an occassional heavy shak
ing. The application is prefer
ably made in the early morn
ing or late evening, while air
currents are least and dew is
on to cause the poison to ad
here to the foilage.
The occurrence of heavy
rains may necessitate a second
application but frequently one
will suffice.—U. S.Dept- of Ag

WHO CAN MEASURE THE
LOVE OF A MOTHER?
Love is the most wonderful
tiling in the world. Poets have
written reams about it and
bards have sung its praises. It
is the foundation for human
happiness. Life would be like
a piece of dry bread without
butter if love did not spread its
wings and warm this cold
earth. •
Love is supreme. Love is in
finite.
There is the love of man for
his God—pure, holy and un
smirched. There is the love of
man and woman—beautiful,
| protective, fiery and illogical.
There is filial ove—thankful,
dutiful and inborn- But the
most beautiful love in this
world—the love that sacrifices
all and asks nothing—is the
love of a mother for her child.
1 No matter what or who the
; child becomes, to the mother it
is always perfect. She brings
: it into the world with all the
pride and glory of her s<?x. Her
baby, with its red face and
tiny clutching hands, its hair
less head and squinty eyes is
the most beautiful creature on
j earth. She worships it. With
| what tender care she nurses it,
thinks for it, lives for it! When
the boy has reached manhood,
she watches him from a dis
tance, always ready at the
slightest call to come to his aid.
Her baby is now a man.
Mother love—the most beau
tiful thing in this world—is the
theme of “Break the News to
Mother” which can be seen on
August 10 at the Royal Thea
tre. Gertrude Berkley as the
mother will make you smile
with her, weep with her a /'i
feel with her. The mother
heart—the most incomprehen
sible thing in the world to any
one else but a mother is shown
to you. Her heartaches, her
happiness will be yours. The
brave fight she puts up waiting
for the return of her boy will
make a lump come into your
throat and u will leave smil
ing through the tears
INDORSE BURT ARNOLD
To whom it may concern:
This is to certify that for the
last eleven years Mr. Burton
Arnold has been secretary of
the School Board here in Bat
esville. He is able and compe
tent to do well any kind of
office work. At the last school
election Mr. Arnold was not a
candidate for re-election to the
Board because he was a candi
date for County Treasurer.
If he is elected to this po
sition by the people of the
county, we feel sure that he
will attend to the duties of the
office as competently and as
conscientiously as he has the
duties of the other offices of
trust and responsibility that he
has held.

WHO WILL WIN
NEXT TUESDAY?
Big Vote is Looked For in Pri
mary Election, and the
Outcome is in Doubt
Another week and it will all
be over except the counting—
and the explaining. Another
important after-thought that
will hurt the feelings of eight
candidates for governor and
! numerous other aspirants for
S office will be the paying. It
has been an expensive cam
paign, and rare good judg
ment has been shown by all
the candidates in the liberal
use of newspaper space for
reaching the voters. Adver
tising bills this campaign have
been the largest ever known in
the state* “Turn on the light,”
has been the policy, and very
often it has been pitilessly ob
served.
Who will win in the election
next Tuesday? Nobody knows.
One observer is as much entitl
ed to his guess as another
Within a few days of the fin
ish, any prediction that is made
particularly with reference to
the governor’s race, must nec
essarily be wild and reflecting
personal bias. This is the truth
whatever mathematical athlet
ics may be employed in arriv
ing at a pre-determined result.
In the baseball games play
ed here Monday and Tuesday
between the local team and
Cotter, Newark cam^ out vic
tor in each of the games. In
Monday’s game the score was
9 to 4, and in Tuesday’s game
3 to 2, both in favor of New
ark.
