I OUTLINES TYPES OF
“DUSTING” MACHINES
j Expert Tells Which Machines Have
Already Proved Successful.
, Raleigh, X. Feb. 12.—Recom
mending the dusting method as one of
! the best for combatting the cotton boll
j weevil in the south, Franklin Slier
| man; chief of the division of entomol
ogy, North Carolina Experiment Sta
tion, last night outlined four general
j types of the machines used for the
work.
"In our tests of 1022." he said, "the
dust poison method paid in every case
where it was faithfully followed to the
conclusion and tlie results accurately
determined. And the fact also re
mains that these farmers and others
around them are calmly proceeding
with preparations to dust more, or
all. of their cotton In 1023.
“The same is true in other states.
We, therefore, must emphatically rec
ommend it to careful farmers who will
bring intelligence and skill into play,
who are in sections where heavy dam
age is expected.,
“There are many wrong ways to do
rt thing—there are many ways to dust;
cotton effectively. It lias |»een found
that good results from the dust pois
on method are more certain when the
work is done'with machines especially
constructed for the purpose of dusting
caleiuiir arsenate on cotton plants for j
the control of boll weevil. This of- <
the outlines four general types of
these machines, each of different cost j
and capacity, and which detailed in
formation will be given upon request: J
".Hand Gun: Hurried by the man j
operating it: crank turned by hand:,
treats one row at a time: cost. sl2 to j
$lB. One machine can attend to sto j
8 acres; for larger acreages get more
than one. Not advisable-to attempt
these for more than 20 to 25 acres' 1
(too many machines too many delays).
One of the machines will last from 1
to 3 years.
"Saddle Gun: Sits on hack of mule:
in front of operator, who turns two!
cranks: treats a row on each side.
Costs around SSO. One machine can
attend to 30 to 40 acres. Machine
should last 2 to 4 years.
"One Mule Machine: Runs between j
rows like walking cultivator on one ]
wheel which is geared to fan. Oper- 1
a tor-holds handles like plow; mule be-j
tween shafts: poison .blown out of,
two nozzles behind operator, treating
row on each side. Cost around SIOO. ■
One machine can attend 50_pr 00 acres, j
Should last 3 to 0 years.
"Fart Machine: Two wheels, strad

NEW PASTOR OF ST.
JAMES IS INSTALLED
Installation Service Conduced \ -
J. L. Morgan, I). I)., of Sa.
President of Synod.
At an impressive, service at St.
James Evangelical Lutheran Church
yesterday morning at 11 o’clock, Rev.
Jj. A. Thomas was officially installed
as pastor, the instnllatiton services
being conducted by Rev. J. L. Morgan,
I). D., of Salisbury, president of the.
North Carolina Lutheran Synod.
As the of his sermon. Dr.
Morgan chose I Timothy 4 :12 "Let no
man despise thy youth: he thou an
example of a believer, in word, in
conversation, in love, in faith, in pur
ity." out tinging the. example a pastor
should set for his congregation, and
the obligation that the members are
under to follow the example. The
sermon was to both the pastor and
the congregation.
By being an example in the word,
the speaker explained, is meant not
only hi the use by the pastor of
choice language and clean speech, but
also that he should he careful in the
word he preaches, that he_preach the
saving truth. The members should
follow the example in the use o’s their
words, making use of no words which
offend, and having regard for the
feelings of others.
In Ins conversation or manner of
living, said Dr. Morgan, the preacher or
pastor should set a Godly example.
This is the easier to do before a people
who do tin* same way. The actions
of a congregation will reflect on what
the pastor is, and it is important that
the manner of living of each member
should he a good example to others.
But the example in word and in
manner of living, if they do not come
froifi the heart are only false and will"
have no effect unless there, be love at
tlie bottom of it all. ’ Love or charity
is at the of all right living,
without charity these things are but
“as sounding brass or a tinkling
cymbal.”
Where true love abounds, then there
will l>e. evidences' of that love, which
is faith. Faith in the word is the
for<*e which will make the message
of a preacher satisfy both the mind
and soul of his hearers. The pastor
should have the faith that saves, and
tin* faith that serves. A faith that
does not manifest itself in its work
is a dead faith. If the congregation
lias tin* true faith, it will not lie satis
fied to sit idly by and keep this faith
to itself, but will he. a working and
active congregation. The objective
that the church needs to set for itself
today is the saving of souls —a real,
active work, which will he an evidence
of our faith.
The. pastor and the Christian should
ho an example in purity, continued Dr.
Morgan, who called attention to the
a minister is made a castaway, or
when a member of a congregation be
comes an object of reproach. The
lives of the pastors and the people
should be of purity, and should to sonic
measure reflect tin* image of their
Greater, who is all-pure. .
Dr. Morgan then officially installed
the. Rev. Mr. Tlmmas as pastor of the
St James congregation, placing the
Synod's stamp of approval upon tin*
pastor's acceptance of the call extended

New York. Fob. 12.—Forty-five of
tlio 1.72 doughboys who returned from
Coblenz on the transport St. Mihiel
yesterday, turned their attention to
day to the future.
For these 45 are married, most of
them to German brides, and are soon
to be discharged from the service* of
Unde Sam. And their big problem is
to return to normalcy, sudden descent
to the American dollar standard after
their months on the Rhine as “mark
millionaires.”
Awaiting their discharge •at Fort
Hamilton, the husbands— 1.1 Jof them
fathers as well—are iking plans
for a radical change in their spending
habits.
“Sure,” said one of them, and he ex
pressed the sentiments of his benedict
buddies, “I’m glad to get-back, me be
ing a good American and all that. But
we sure were siftin’ pretty there on
the Rhine. Nobody can say we weren’t
sittin' pretty, no sir. We were getting
paid in American dollars, but we got
it in marks—s.ooo for a dollar. Sittin’
on top of the world I’ll say. But sure,
I'm glad to get back. It s good to see
the States again. But, of course there
will be times when I’ll think of that
lieer at half a cent, a seidel, and a full
meal for ten cents.”
lie pointed to his wife, a robust
fraulein flaxen-haired and smiling.
“See that nifty dress?” he asked.
“Cost six bucks. The hat? One buck.
Fur coat, forty, dollars. Yep. it’s like
that in Coblenz. And rent's the same,
and grub.”

argument of certain interests that
American people will not patronize
dry ships, should seek to uphold the
hands of the federal government in
declaring all ves
sels dry, and that when they reach
Europe they should’ demonstrate they
are loyal, consistent and law-abiding
American citizens by refraining from
liquor both at home, and abroad.
It is understood that the Northern
Baptists have chartered ves
