This exirnniimtwi ts recommended by Dr. W. H. Hinds. Stato r F.ntomogilist of \labama. Dr. Hinds is a ^ competent authority on the subject as the study of insects i* his specialty. Coupled i with his scientific kn< wledge of th?? inse ct is a wealth ? f experience and experinv n tation. As tho Mp\ can he?n beetle came to Alabama ar>l her far Southern States several years ago. thei people of those vtatos had to battle with it and they" are # passing their experience along to us through fornu Senator H. A. Dcwar. of Andrews. ! 0 Mr. Dcwar. though living temporarily !n Atlanta now. is tremendously Interested in this section as is indicated bv the interest ;i he is taking: in th extermination of the bean beetle. Mr. Pewar went to the expense of railing Dr. Hinds over the long *distance telephone to obtain the information about Cal Sulphur and hb is row ' ti passing the good word along to the pi "pic of Cherokee and neighboring counties. It 1 . is rot a selfish proposition with him, ever j though he is offering the mixture for sale. \s evidence of th > he is making th- f r-j mula public. It is as follows: 1 parr of fine dusting sulphur; 1 part of high grad- j ? calcium arsenate; 4 parts hydrated lime? mixed well. hi Mr. Dewart at hi? ou-n expense, win v come from Atlanta to Murphy Saturday ,r aft?rnoon and further explain thi< hear, j beetle exterminator and demonstrate it* v, power. It has the advantage over so many other insecticides in that it can be used j p without danger of poisoning the beans. The v mixture does not penetrate the bean Raf >. or pod and whe^ the beans are gathered T. and washed, all trace of ho mixture dis- -h appears. j There is a serious pest in this section and it would pay even.* Gardner and every farmer to investigate this remedy. Mr. er ar will thoroughly demonstrate it Saturday 00 aftarnoon in Murphy and The Scout hop*;* that a large number will take advantage ^ of his demonstration and explanation. If 10 this remedy does prove effective, it K not too late yet to drive the Htetlo front *he ^ present bei.n cron ar.d to even plant a new r' crop and u*?e the Cal Sulphur mixture.

The world was full of inventions destroy life beforv. there were anv to molong it or make ' endurable. Murdcva?* always a science: medicine is not one j ret. The destroyer? have always beelonored; the useful have always been do-! pised. In the ancient time*, agriculture j ras known only .* slav \ T?> work was 3 be nobody. Labor was disgraceful. j idleness was the badge of gentle blood. .'\vs sprang from the instinct of self-prc>rrvation. Industry objected to supporti-g dleness and laws were made against thrft.

It can soar j with instantaneaus speed to the rarawev j |>] rim of th? universe bevound. It is im- |( possible to imagine anything that the im- ^ agination cannot imagine. Imaginators are Q1 born and they have t tit been the torchbearers of progress. Since the invention of the wireless, especially wireless phot og- QH raphv. and the X-ray machine, this writer ha> almost concluded that nothing i* impossible. Hut Mr. Brisbane has givcn us an exceedingly large order! Imagination is many miles, or year*, ahead of accomplishment. Somewhere in 1 literature there is a story of a man who { ' discovered a method of cutting hi* enemies a' loose from gravitation. If arvon< mi * ^ treated this man he would make a few nass?s with his hands, and say "Hocus-pceus" or something like that and his enemy would begin to leavo the ?arth, kicking and pawing the air a he went. Th, man who was seeking to wreak vengianc,, enemy did not know that thire is an atmospheric pr? ssue of 15 pounds to the square inch on us. and thai his enemy would explode exactly as a deep sea fish when removed from it* native elenv-nt. The incentive behind many gi cat inventions was hate. The airplane reached its highest development during the World War A method of preserving foodstuffs was developed during the Napoleonic wars. Will ^ man ever learn to cut loov from the law m of gravitation? Will h*. learn to overcome the lack ofi atmospherich pressure in the Ct vast ?ea of space.
