A STUBBORN JUDGE [ (From Charlotte Observer) I A week or so ago the couni try was interested in a report comining from Nebraska that a county judge out that way, - pronounced in his views against > prohibitio nlaw violation, was sentencing unfortunates to s prison on diet of bread and i water. Much sympathy was ; created with the prisoners be cause of the hardship imposed and the judge became at little bit irritated under the fire of i criticism. He finally decided i to meet this criticism by impos, ing a penalty upon himself of , 10 days in jail on a diet of rye , bread and water. For the first I several days he was rather f cockey about it and was assurf ing the people that he had not r been so cruel, after all. But ' s ^ " . .. / . ~ . 1 r with the fifth day's experience! he weakened. To use he talk of1 the stre;, bread and water had! "got his goat." It is % pretty | hard job, he admits, and he .gets mighty hungry. At night he woulc: dream of sitting down to big feasts, only to want up j and look at the loaf of bread and the tin cup. However, he J . is determined to stick out the, 10 days and intmiates modifi-i cation ir the terms of sentences he may impose in the future. He will not give a breadand-waterdiet except in "serious" cases of violations. He has let c|ff all the other felloWs y now undler sentence of the kind y except one, who happens to be S( o fthe '^serious" classification. s) This judge has been imposing ^ sentences of the kind for 14 a years past, and the fact that sj he still holds at least one string to it, indicates that he is "stubborner'n i a mule. jr? la THE STRIPPED IJ COTTON FIELDS !w ; d (From j Charlotte Observer) jo The appearanre of th cotton1P fileds aijound this section ofjs< the country has been very,w much changed in recent days, j a The abundance of leafage r< which covered the plants hasp! been eaten away by the cater-; g pillar, or cotton leaf worm. In j si aornc fijelds the stippage isjg complete; scarcely a leaf re-1 maining;! in other fields the! visitation has been confined toh] areas which suggest the blaat-1 Ci ing effecfs of fire. The ravages' a, i extend over large sections both ; u j m North! Carolina and Soufih:0 j Carolina.! In the latter State !p; I lives an S authority oncotton | s< and cottoh pests, in the person of David R. Coker, whose scien-'h ; Jfically-njanaged farms around Hartsvillel are the Mecca of many agmculaural pilgrimages. ^ What he (has to say t>r the leaf e( worm and its ravages will a prove instructive to the farm-jS( iers throughout the cotton belt. I{] It is of importance to note that j s, Mr. Coket maintains, contray 11( : to general opinion, that the j u work of {he leaf worm entails w damage tb the cotton crop. It 0 i seems to jbe the "second crop"'a of worms', that is doing the!() 1?? /?! onrl ninrn fV?r\rmiorVl work" I ^ j UUti cum | vnutvuQii .. ? y in the fields. Mr. Coker marks J C( j the fact that this second crop|(j I has hatched off. He found one j !sj>ot on one of his plantations; j where they had been in suffic- j ! ient numt ers to strip the cot- jc j ton. "We. found this spot of -v 'several acres last Thursday," j ! he says, "and dusted the field " Friday morninp." The writer 41 | later inspected this field and \ found that practically all the J j worms were killed on the part ! of the field which was dusted in the early morning. On the " part that was dusted after the ? | dew dried the worms had ap: parently not been harmed. ; "The writer therefore advo-; icates dusting with calcium ar-; senate for leaf worms while the j plants are wet with dew, or I* better still, spraying the cotton j J with a calcium arsenate?wa-i* ter mixxture. In 1922 we found |* 'a mixture of two pounds of * arsenate to 50 gallons of wa- j ter effective for killing the * worms on one acre." > 4 Some have the idea, says Mr. J fViof fhn loQ-f tunrm at V Untl Lli (4 O I/1IV 1VMX ?T VA Mv * this section will not damage + cotton. This is a great mis- $ take if there are young, bolls ? that are not just ready to open * as the leaf worm kills the plant at once by stripping it of its * foliage and young bolls not J fully matured will be badly in- f jured. In 1911 we allowed the | leaf worm to kill our cotton * about the middle of October, at * which time all bolls were fully ^ grown. We afterwards regretted that we had not destroyed him by poisoning a swe found that many of the top bolls did not open or made weak, immature fiber. Mr. oCker advises that every farmer whb has live cotton should watch his fields closely and where the leaf worms are found to be at work it should be poisoned iemmediately by spraying with a calcium arsenate water mixture or by dusting when the leaves are wet with dew. There is much young cotton all over the State, and especially in the-piedmont, he says, and he believes that this cotton will be damaged at least 50 percent if the next 10 * davs or two weeks. J Danger to the mind and body lurks in the salt cellar, says an eminent French surgeon. And then there is fthe other kind i of cellar. The British Government 1 probably feels that there isn't much use to settle the coal strike so long as it's about timp now for another one. i Tulsa, Oklahoma, boasts of ; having the most beautiful girl in America. And outside of the prettiest on ein everyone's mind in everyone's own home town no doubt Tulsa is right. r Julius Rosenwald has aided in ie buiding of over three jousand five hundred rural :hools for negroes. These . hools are in fourteen southern .ales, and provide room for bout four hundred thousand Ludents. There are many who regard ie education of the negro as mistake. This is rather surrising among a people who atch with keen interest the oinga of trained dogs and eduited horses. The stock arguaC 'fVin AKin/ifnr la f liof 1 vj 11L VI tlic UUJCl/bUl 10 l/i 1MV xriety needs its heweres . of rood and its drawers of water, nd that the education of negDes arid immigrants will some ay make it necessary for entlemen to shine their own hoes and empty their own arbage. This is the same argument lat has been used against eduition of all kinds during the gos. It shows a complete misnderstanding of the purpose f education, and is worthy of assing notice only becaue it is ) commonly made. Rosenaid's idea is to teach negroes ow to be more useful, not less. Schooling that unfits for laor is not worth^, the name of ducation; and our idle classes re recruited not from the :hool but from the pool-halls, he alleys, and the undrained wamps. Booker T. Washing>n proved that the tendency of seful education among negrods ras to produce a race conscious f itself, and individuals more nrious to be honored by their wri kind than to be socially utcast by those of another olor. And in his differen way ictavus Roy Cohen, great humTho [Supreme Council, Anciiil and Accepted Scottish Rite lasons, is to erect a monument d Vice President Thomas Marhall. jl is to be located at ome place in Indiana agreeable a the wishes of Mrs. Marshall, n dafter a time we may expect VT - 1 A 1_ _ / 11 11- _ ne nation to oe ionowing me sample of the Masons.

There is always a tendency, in colleges, to educate j for ornament, for personal gratification, for culture. This is not the exclusive tendency of higher education. Far from it. most college education is valuable. But the "pure dulture" idea is there, and far to opopular. Education, to be most valuable, must point toward useful service. I ' I There is another angle to the Rosenwald case that is interesting. Julius Rosenwald is i a Hebr'ew. He belongs to a race that has suffered, that is abused, that has been persecuted for twenty centuries. When Julius Rosenwald helps negroes he does it out of a great human sympathy that might never hav eexisted but for the crrelty with waTch Rosenwald's ancestors have been driven out of every country in Europe, robbed by every political powed, and oppressed a$ no other race has been. The persecution of Jews began with Pharaoh and is not ender yet. Those who lived through the tortures and exiles and robberies to which they were subjected, were the ones who were most healthy, capable and efficient. The greatest misfortune that ever happened to Spain, was when Isabella's Ferdinand killed all he Jews and Moors could and exiled the rest. The Jews represented financial genius, the Moors art. When they jwere driven out, Spain lost both. She has been a tillrd 11 ate power ever since. i Captain Murdock, spokesman for the National Association of Retail Clothiers, is sending out word from London that "a bold i ooior scheme" is coming along ! m men's clothing and that they will be shortly wearing "rich teds, greens, tans and blues." And the captain is just about a year behind, for The Observer set that fashion last Summer. The proverbial "poor church mouse" can now feed on the . scraps of the Ladies Aid. : > > *: * * > * > > > >* * >: < * / 'roubles.
