Fire insurance has come to T>e not only a householder's security,
but a national necessity. The home owner must protect his family
and provide shelter; the renter must guard his household goods.
Business concerns, factories, churches, schools, colleges and cor
porations must protect their property Investments. The man who
can thus provide the security of a community against financial loss
from fl-i is its Insurance agent, through his companies.

With the advent of cool^weather In
the fall, usually, In October' aid No
vember, boll weevils begin to ?eek
protection against the winter. The
majority of the weevils leave the
fields trad fly to the nearest shelter
which may be adjoining timber, grassy
turnrowF or buildings. The direction
of their flight la governed partially
by the prevailing wlnda. The move
ment takes place when an average
temperature of 60 degrees la reached.
The movement Into winter quarter!
Is not sudden and many weevils may
be found In fields after a majority
have left. In some cases It has been
observed that more than a thousand
weevils have been found In flelda as
late as December 18.
The most favorable places for win
tering are those In which there are the
most even temperatures and where
at the same time the conditions are
comparatively dry. Spanish moss
probably Is the most favorable shel
ter weevils obtain, but many survive
the winter outside of the- region In
which Spanish moss occurs, in grass,
stumps, cracks In the ground and
similar places. Very few are ever
found In cotton reed.
During the winter the weevils tike
no food and ordinarily do not move
from the place they have hidden But]
sometimes during very warm spells J
a few In the exposed places may be
seen crawling or flying about
The weerll passes the winter la
the adult stagey When frosts occur
Immature stages still may be found
In the squares or the bolls. If the
food supply Is sufficient many of
these immature stages continue their
development at a very slow rate and
finally emerge as adult weevils. Thus,
there may be a somewhat continuous
production of adults during the win
ter. Ordinarily, however, this Is not
the case, since the frosts that de
stroy the cotton generally kill the
grubs.
The number of weevils living
through the winter varies greatly
from year to year as shown by obser
vations made at many localities for a
number of years. In one year only
one weevil out of a hundred survived,
but, in another case, twenty out of
each hundred lived through. The lat
ter figure is undoubtedly exceptional
and It _ appears that under average
conditions throughout the greater
part of the cotton belt not more than
five weevils, out of a hundred lived
over to attack the crop the following
year. The largest number lives
through where there la heavy timber.
Enough survive any winter to cause
heavy damage if the spring and sum
mer favors.
SODOM
By THOMAS A. CLARK
D?an of Men, University of
Illinois.
I
"And Lot pitched bis tent toward |
Sodom," the historian wrote when nar
rating events connected with the early
settlers In the Orient. Lot was a good
boy who had been well brought up,
and Sodom was beautifully sltnated
In a green, fertile valley with a view
of the mountains in the distance.
The town had Its attractions, and
Lot was human. It was. however,
what in these modern days we should
call a wide-open town. There was no
attempt to enforce the Volstead Act,
traffic laws were loose and the dance. i
were unchaperoned. The young peo
ple were friendly and unconventional,
the sort that take pride in the fact
that they know how to take care of
themselves. The vaudeville shows
were snappy; all of the pool halls al
lowed gambling devices; and It was
easy to pick up a femate acquaintance
on the street. When anything hap
pened the policemen and the mayor
were always safely out of the way
and employed themselves harmlessly
the day following In looking for a
clue. There was something doing in
Sodom most of the time, and It was.
in fact, a very interesting place. Lot
found It so.
ttut he found also, as every man be
fore or Blnce has ultimately found,
that you can't play with evil without
getting soiled by It. Tou can't even
look on and keep absolutely aloof from
It. Finally It touches you. You be
gin at first to Justify it and then to
take part In It Sodom went up In
flames consumed by the lire of Its own
hist for evil pleasure, and though Lot
eecaped, he was sco robed ; he carried
with him the marks of contact with
the low and vulgar and profane. Hs
was not the same man that he was be
fore he had gased upon the corrup
tions of Sodom.
That was six thousand years ago.
1 course, and In a heathen land; but
there are still Sodoma ? modem, al
luring and ao cleverly camouflaged as
to aeem quite harmleea ? toward which
the well-intentioned young fallow, or
hla slater even, may look tfth Inter
est or desire, or may pitch his tent
It to easy sad often Interesting to
treat lightly the religious principles
which we once followed, to drop Into
the unconventional, to play a few
Lands of poker, or to bet on the game,
to go gradually from the risque to
the vulgar aad Anally to the Immoral.
Lot had no Intention of taking op
the habtta of the Sodomite*, He waa
curious. Be simply wanted to see
what it waa all like. Pm sure be felt
that he was quite able to take care
of himself, but be waa mistaken., and
so to ereijow who plays with svfl or
temportata with sin.
