''Ranks Famed Battalion Of Death Are Thinning Moot Galium and Keftoureei'ul oi' All in llie Group Who Fought Versailles Treaty Fell in Heulli of Senntor Medill llctiormirk By llOtlKKT T. StiAJ.I, ICoi'Trnht l?a by 'Hi? AiJ??oc. i Washington, Feb. 27. Tin death of Senator .v!? dill Met'or- 1 mick of Illinois marks a furlh? r disintegration of the famous "liu talion of death" whioh yoinc ;i\ years ago Bet out to kill th Treaty of Versaillon and th ? League of Nations while those in strumenta of the pence following the war were still In their forma tlve stages. ? Within the year Washington ^pias seen the paRsing of three <>f ?| the famous half dozen. H' liry ^KCabot Lodge, plumed .knight of the battalion by reason of his po sition as chairman of the conmii: tee on foreign relations, died last November. He had been preced ed In October by Senatnr Frnn'< Brandege of Connecticut, who died by hia own hand. And no.. Ifedil! McCormick, in many ways the most gallant and resourceful fighter of them all, Iihh gone sud denly to hia last reward. There remain of the outstand ing figures In the battalion, li* rah of Idaho, who has succeeded Lodge in charge of foreign rela tion; Hiram Johnson of Califor nia, who haB buret forth but once recently, and Jim Heed of Missou ri, the Democratic ally of the I : ? - publican auper-laolatlonlsts. It is a somewhat motley trio, hut th frork of the battalion virtually is complete. It la Just a matter to day of "atandlng pat." Mcdill McCormick was a far * more Indefatigable foe of lh? League of NationR than Cabot Lodge. He had a far more int: piatc first hand knowledge of Kitr fpc, He had always been an in - ?eterate traveler. Further he was a student of the modern langiia ea and could talk to the people:; of other countries In their own tongues. He waa not all depend ent upon the polite Knultsli phr;; ?es learned for the edification of visitors and tourists. McCormick was one of the Senators constant ly building a fire under Mr. Lodt- . v who aometlmes weakened in his resolve against the treaty, or war. ^^reported to be weakening. Moditl McCormick was one ef the liveliest figures In Wash in u ton life. The capital had not mourned deeply his defeat for re election to the Senate, for it fell the young Chlcagoan was too wealthy, too rr .-lurceful. too ner vously energetic to remain lull? out of public life, and It was als ? known that he planned to spend ? good part of each year in Wash ington. Medill McCormick was never dull, never at a loss for < xclt? - ment of rme sort or another. Once, when things seemd ineffab ly dull here at the capital. Medill turned up from some far corner of the earth wearing a beard long and straggly and as fiery red ?s any hirsute appendage ev? i seen on Pennsylvania Avenlie. if gave him such a benign expre ssion the report spread that he had been attending the pasBlou play at Oberammagau. After shocking and surprising his friends and b? - lng duly photographed for pr, h r |ty, Mr. McCormick part'd with the whiskers and they w. r< seen no more. After that his toilet was the most Immaculate in ;ti Senate, not excepting Cabot L'mI - or Tom Heflin of Alabama. The capital ?ot another ;:r i't laugh when McCormick arose er day and solemnly charged th it the American State Department ? honeycombed with "Lotopl ? That was In the pre-crora v. i I puzzle days, but it sent nil r.fflciV. Washington scurrying to t ? > . j?^n>rld?ed dictionaries and II S Cyclopedias. The search' r- f :i"1 it fhat the lotophsgl were th? exact antithesis of McCormick, who did anything but live In dreamy in flotonce. ' MeCormlrk was always surpri ? 1^1. always delightful, and while rsfpected as a fighter, he was none the less very untver- hIIv he loved. American official life Is the poorer for hia goine Few men of 47 have left sdth an Im pression on the capital. little hope fob MUSCLE SHOALS NOW Washington.

"This offer Is opon to farm hoys who expect to enter college during the yoar 1926. The prire lu di. v United aw follows: first year $150; second year $150; third year $150; fourth year $150. "There Is no doubt that a num ber of farm boys in Pasquotank County contemplate entering Col lege next year and every one should try for the prize that is being offered. ? "You are Bure to win regard less of the prize that is offered by the Nitrate Agency. The yield that you make will give you a greater determination to i>e a goo.l farmer and a larger net profit from your crop than the average. "The corn produced In this sec lion costd the grower from sixty to ninety cents per bushel, while :i number of boys have proven that corn can be grown for 30 cents per bushel. Therefore, with our fertile boIIb, some boy from this section should make a good showing or win the prize that is being offered. "If you aui Interested in the above contest see your County Agent."

"The feel 1 ir.g that damage from boll wee vils will be light In 1925 la the hope which has no certain basis, and it may easily result In unpre puredness and bitter disappoint ment" says Franklin Sherman, chief of the Division of Entrrfno logy for the North Carolina Ex periment Station. "The most im portant factor In weevil damage is the weather of July and Au gust" continued Mr. Sherman. ! "Some losser factors, which we I already know to be true are as follows. (1) Wetvlls rapidly In creased In numbers last fall. They were numerous at)the Ins. and It Is more than probable that i a normal number went Into hl j bernatlon. (2) Thus far the wln ' ter has been favorable for weevil hibernation and we are (not likely to have it cold enough to kill weevils betwoen now and the cot ton season. (3) It has been the experience of all similar states south of us that tery heavy wee vil Injury has occurred within three years after the state was en tirely occupied by tho weevil; wo have now passed two of those years, this Is the third and per hapn we are now due for trou ble." , ? rof.

Construction of parallel high ways between business centers to care for additional motor trane; port has given a stimulus to salea of property along the new routee since bus lines will furnish an ad equate means of commuting. Tbj| general volume of real famSk transfers undoubtedly has beaii ' increased by the tremendous deal ing* recorded In Florida and otht|r Southern states and In California., The whole movement has bean fostered by a tendency of bQtfe J business and residential rents i?
