F. W. JUSTICE FOR SHERIFF YOUR VOTE WILL BE APPRECIATED *=? Boll weevils are not unlike inhabi tants of cities. When "city folks" find the crowds in mid-summer are becoming unbearable they want to get away to quiet places where they will have more "elbow room." When fhe > re "tenements" of the boll wee become too crowded, they also | become restless and take to the air. , Ewever. it Is not ncessary that they crowded before their movement ] fins for their migratory instinct ' prompts them to seek new fields. The weevil move# from place to ?lac$ by flight. Although it does not fly for ?? compared with many other {Meets, it has been known to cover a fllstance of more than forty miles Th k ?hort time. It is unable to con tinue flight very long but by a series ?f short flights, especially when the Wind is favorable. It may cover con siderable distances. The first movement 1b in the spring from winter quarters to the nearest j cotton, usually a Bbort distance. Af- 1 tar the weevils reach the field there Is very little movement except from plant to plant until well along in the ! ?nmmer. Over-wintered weevilB and their offspring for several months only j move like a slowly advancing over- 1 flow. Up until August about 90 per j oent of the weevils In any field are those which develop practically *here they are found. About the middle of August an In stinct on the part of the weevils to I move about becomes noticeable. Dur-" j lng this period weevils become re&t less and take to the air very active- | IT, flying in all directions. This Is . sometimes due to heavy infestation ' In the field but seems primarily to be ! an instinct that has caused the ex tension of the infested area hi the thiited States yea* by year until now Jt covers more than 600,000 square (Miles. with the approach of cold weather there is another distinct movement on the part of the weevil*.

V PrJiKOi CEXTEB HAS OPESED The Punkln Center Band is fine, Each an artist in his line, Every time I Iiear them play It makes me turn and ricochet The sweetness of its frisky strains Drive out rheumatlz and pains And hinges which are due to ache There, must either bend or break. Of cuorse the fiddle is a sin But they play the violin The horn they call a saxaphone Surely came from parts unknown And I'm not wise enough to say It's not the kind the angels play If this thing is considered vice Its doggone nearly worth the price. I must admit that it is wrong To swell this pleasure seeking throng Yet we may be sent below for (cussin cause) we failed to go. Satan has no heatless bin To put the lesser sinners in 80 once more my song will be Punkin Center T'is of Thee. You can find some maidens fair Who ^an vamp a millionaire Or make a King get on his knees To see them jazz such melodies. Romeo sees Juliet Clad in silken stocklngette Sallle's hair cut short like mine At Punkln Center Caroline. The man who plays the trapq and drunl Puts melancholy on the bum Makes the old feel young again As though they never felt a pain Darkens every silver strojid Better than a druggist can And puts a crimson In the face Restless waves cannot erase. I am old but still alive No other king bee is In the hive Last winter while I Jockled Uz. I turned pale from rheumatlz And need some crimson In my face , But have no puff or powder case This may be a minor sin So I'll go down and dance it In. Me6t me now they've opened up The President may pass the cup Perhaps some Punkln Center booze Has survived the Revenues Blockade apple jack and peach Distilled at Punkln Center Beach Makes fiddles look like violins And seem the very least of sins.
