Millions of dollars have been spent hy the Government in efforts to check .the advance of Jthe pest, but the remedy is unknown. Mr. O. F. Cook of the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture in Guatemala found the boll weevil wjas attacked, killed and eaten by an ant-like crea ture, the "kelep." Owing to the fact that the winter in Texas proves fatal to the kelep its usefulness may be restricted to tropical regions. , Though the boll weevil brought de vastation and ruin, it caused the cot ton planter to realize the fallacy of the old regime. He must find soma industry ' with less risk than cotton raising. Vegetable gardening, corn raising, and ' dairying, quickly de veloped. As a result poverty and distress have given away to prosper ity and contentment' The citizens of Enterprise, a town of about 2,000 in southern Alabama, credit their present prosperity to the little cotton pest and have erected a monument to the boll weevil.

Eminino. t.h two reports. aa statistician for. the In- surance Department, I soon located the reason for the enormous insur ance increase of last year, in'tha eastern section of the state. Invest ments or savings I prefer to consider" it, in the counties of Wilson, Edgc- combe, Martin,, Pitt, Nash, Johnson, Green and Lenoir in the insurance tables were inexplicably larger than the average of agricultural counties I After examination of -Major Gra- l-ham's statistics of cotton and tobac co, tine fact that these counties were both larger cotton and tobacco grow ing counties supplied the explanation for computing the actual cash paid producers for these two crops, the larger percentage of increase of in- I surance in these cotton and tobacco I counties was easily r accounted for, Pitt County farmers.

I also find the decrease in cotton and tobacco production ; last vear from the year before, at 1919 prices per pound, to total $4,288,215 for Nash and Edgecombe, and $3,847,920 for Pitt." .. . , . It occurs to me to send these facts for dissemination among . your pro gressive business men and farmers. I can't resist suggesting that if the same amount of money wisely in vested in these three counties in -in surance was corralled out of that huge $50,000,000, 1919 cotton and L.t . ..... vooacco crop, and applied to harness- -mg Tar river," it would save millions each year in property many peopl . .... .

SENIOR m is WTERTAJWED LAST T High School Juniors ' Give Seniors Best Time of 1920 ' : School Year "EVERYBODY BE HAPPY" WAS SLOGAN OF EVENING . Last night the senior class of tho Tarboro high school were the guests of the junior class at one of the most enjoyable general "good time" even ings that has been enjoyed by the young people in the city this year, j The "good time", was held at the home of Miss Virginia Thigpen, her self ope, of . the juniors. ' A . i.i i .i n i ii ' About eight o dock, all along the .treet, Ie.dtoj to lh pUe. of the scene of the gathering, boys and girls carrying sofa pillows were seen hur rying to the scene of the evening's festivities,. Within'a very short time after the appointed hour for the fun to begin there was not a "sofa-pil low" girl or boy to be Been on the streets. They had all gone early to "be in the rush." The first thing that happened to the guests of the evening was a walk to the grafr punch bowl presided over by a bunch of pretty smiling' junior girls. Each girl had the desire to be the one to place a cup of delicious punch in the guest's hand. Poor guest, only two hands to the human body. Nevertheless each was willing to re.urn and accept in turn the. "cup ihat was red" from each of the "server.i." Then, having time-to look around the dignified (?.?) seniors were made aware of the fact that ever'ythiiig was decorated most attractively in green and white, the class colors, and perhaps said senior was made green with regret that this was to be his or her last year among the school mates and friends of the lbwer classes in his or her home town school, - I After becoming used to the sur l'ouiulingH the . juniors passed out paper booklets with sentences written thereon in green ink. This was a guessing contest. The names' of the cunevent juniors represented tne ' answers to the questions. There was a lot of laughter and jolly good fun ! during this contest. ; ,-. ..

Fjrt Event of Importance Will Be Flying Field Day of In Jercollegiate Flying Associa tion At Mienola Field, May 7 ELEVEN UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES WILL BE ON HAND TO COMPETE Events Will Not Be Confined To The United States Other Countries Have . Plans For Flying Events Also - - (By The Associated Press) New York, April 17, Air events planned for 1920 promise to make it a big aviation sport year, according to the American Flying Club. The first event of importance will be the flying field day of the Intercollegiate Flying Association at Mineola Field, (N. Y.) May 7. Eleven colleges and universities will be represented in a varied program of flying stunts, which will be concluded with a cross country flight. In this race each will be permitted to enter two air- ; planes and a cup' will be awarded to the winner. The start will be made at Mineola Field, where the raco also will end after a circuit that probably will include Philadelphia and Prinze ton. : !"-";.-:; Arrangements also are be.n? made by the club for a ' seaplane race around Long Island. This probably will be held early in the Summer. The -club is cooperating with the. training and operations group of the United States Army Air Sei-vicc in planning for a trans-continental ai? race between New York and Alaska,' a distance of 4,870 miles. In the ten tative plans the course is mapped' , out from Mineola, across .' United States territory to Minot, N. crossing to Saskatchewan, Can., and across the ' Dominion to Fort Egbert on the Alaska border. In Alaska the route runs to Circle, Fort Yukon, Fairbanks by way of Fort Gibbon, thence to Nulato and Nome. Com pulsory stops at an average of 150 miles will be arranged. Flying events of a sporting nature will not be confined, however, to the United States in 1920. In France a " flying meet is scheduled to be held at Juvisy, near Paris, May 22 and 23.' The British aircraft exhibition will be held at London in July. In ad-' ' dition the British government has of- . fered several millions in pounds at.'.' prizes for various sporting events to 1 be held during the year. Tho Cape, to Cairo, route is being blazed! Be tween the two points the distance by rail, steamship or ground irnnsport is approximately 6,223 "milwi. The' aerial line is about 6,200 miles. : CALVARY CHURCH Holy Communion at 7:30 a. m.' ,' " Men's Bible Class at 10 a. m. Sunday school at 0:4 a. m. .

Acting of Shakespeare plays by the children themselves is advocated by the Bureau's publication as one of the best ways to celebrate tho day. "My ideal of a Shakespeare Day," says H. G. Wells, the novelist, who is quoted in the Bureau Bulletin, "is a day on which, in every school, Shakespearian plays are acted by the children themselves. The one person, for Shakespeare on Shakespeare Day the only person, who ought to speak is Shakespeare himself. So let Shakespeare be read and played for our Shakespeare Day celebration in the schools, and let the rest of keep silence while he speaks." us Every Vcnn Monday
