•COTTON OR WEEVILS” AND CROP PROTECTION Destruction of $200,000,000 worth of cotton each year Is attributed to the cotton-boll weevil. How to fight the pest and conquer it to the degree that makes cotton grow ing profitable is a problem that has engaged many agricultural workers since 1892 when the insect entered the United States from Mexico. In "Cotton or Weevils," just published by the federal de partment of agriculture as Miscel laneous Publication S4-M, J. L. V.’cbb and F A. Merrill have sum marised and brought down to date much Information that has pre viously appeared In departmental publications.

Dairyman Makes Profits by Cutting Delivery Costs Puritan Dairy Changes Brand of Motor Oil and Makes Big Savings In Truck Operation Test run shows 42.2% In crease in Gasoline Mileage Whenever owners of motor cars get together and start claiming mileage records, the only way to prove or disprove any statement is to make a supervised test. Such tests are diffi ,cult to arrange and supervise. l>'cw motorists have the time to spare. But the Puritan Dairy of Red Bank, New Jersey, wished to use the best oil on the market for their delivery trucks. No use to waste hard-earned profits on poorly lubri cated equipment. No reason for keeping , trucks needed to make their appointed rounds in the repair shop because of worn-out hear ings. So a practical test, to be nadc while one of the trucks performed its egular work, was arranged by company officials. Details of Test The crank case of a sturdy G. M.

In eight days of running, over a regular route, 572 miles were covered, eleven quarts of “Z” oil were used (nine had been added after the first day of driving) and 80 gal Ions of “Stand ardMGwobn© were consumed.

Somehow 680 miles were clocked on the speedometer this time. But only 67 gal lons of “Standard” Gasoline had been used as against 80 gallons in the previous period. An increase in gasoline mileageof 42.2 percent. Truck operated by Lee McGuire in uiiicft the test was made No motor oil was added after the first day. Yet 8 quarts of “Standard” Motor Oil re mained in the crank case. Tested in a laboratory, brand “Z” showed extreme dilution. “Standard” Motor Oil, however, was comparatively fresh—still a “good lubricant.” Car “Handled” Easier “And the car,” said Lee McGuire, the driver, “was easier to start and worked better all along with ‘Standard’ Motor Oil.” Everywhere, this oilier oi/—“Standard”—is pleasing millions of motorists as well as truck operators who appreciate how a richer bodied, smoother oil can protect motors as well as “add mileage to gasoline.” For sale everywhere you see the “Standard” Moto:< Oil sign.

URGES ECONOMY IN FUNERAL RITES Dr. I.aughinghotise Object* To "romps And Vanities Of Fancy Funerals.-’ Grcens'xjro—Speaking before the | North Carolina Funeral Directors ! and Embalmers association at their | annual convention held at King | Cotton hotel, Greensboro, Dr. Chas O’H. Laughtnghouse, secretary of the state board of health said that the worth of any business comes more often because of its by pro ducts than we at first thought realise. Continuing, he said the by prod ucts of the funeral director and tm balmer are both educational and economic. "By educating the public into the necessity of leaving all bodies of persons who have come to their death by loul means undisturbed ; until a hearing can be held, great j good can be accomplished. "No educational by product of the j embalmer s profession can do more j good than teaching the public the ; value of autopsies. By giving the ' medical profession an opportunity to see for itself what the disease pro cesses were, they can by linking up the processes found, with the history, signs and symptons of dis ease as evidenced before death, get a correct picture of the causes of death These findings give informa tion to the family of the deceased and to the community of such value as 10 protect uuiei iiianuna me family and the community at large. By encouraging autopsies and providing In their establishments places where they can be done scientifically, privately and without grucsomness, einbnlmc.s can great ly advance the cause of science. A post mortem should come to be re garded by the family In the same light that, a surgical operation would Ire legarded before death. In speaking of the economic side. Dr. Laugblnghouse said: "Let me urge you as an organization to edu cate the people of North Carolina more end more to taking pride in developing a custom of economy at funeral*: By so doing, you will yourself profit in the end.” He then spoke of the chnnges the World war had brought about. "The determination to rehabilitate a war torn world was deeply in ! grained in cur hearts when we ! shipped from France *o hike our j hob nailed shoes alcng 'the side walks of New York.’ As we bustled along Broadway, disbanded to set tle again in the valleys, hills and hamlets of our respected homes, we found a changed world.' he *aid. "Luxuries unthought of prior to 1916 had suddenly come to be looked upon as necessities. Home spun shlrtr had been thrown aside, cotton socks had dome to be no more, a passion for material things appeared. The dollar of 1919 struck us as being worth but little more than was a dime of three years be fore. How soon can we come back as a nation to the financial bed rock of common sense?” "I am not pleading,” he went on j "for a greater economy in burial of our dead, simply because It will put your business on a safer basis, as clearly as I see the necessity for it, but I am pleading for a more in telligent economy in all things. I want to see this splendid state wlrich Is so dearly loved by you and me come back to those principles of frugality, clean living and high thinking which were bequeathed to us by our forbears. I want to see luxuries cease to be looked upon as necessities. I want to see the frills and furbelows, which before the war were considered things not to be thought of by the average man. dis carded by those unable to afford them. I want to see socks knit at home again. I long sometimes to see men and their families walk to church Instead of hiking themselves to worship Ood in a brand new Ford with the muffler cut out wide open. I want to see the passion for material comfort subside a bit. I want to see the mania for show', that did not exist so glaringly be fore the war. evidence Itself in ac cordance with the conditions of the times. I want to see an intelligent, far sighted, habitual frugality come to be the outward sign of an in ward graoe. I want to see clean liv ing and high thinking take the place of frills' and furbelow s. "Nothing can bring this about quite so pronouncedly as can or ganised business, educating the people to the spending of their money and the giving of their ener gies to things worth while, instead of to the pomps and vanities of fancy funerals. garnished with gaudy flowers and the tinsels of vulgar show.” concluded the speak er.
