Will c ( s. i . M*ay NMr And Orifiaal Feature# . '; In Uni<|ue Shriner Parade in Green rill*; Town* Will Cimppte For prise. The Shriners of Hejaz Temple are fooqulatiog plans wilich will result in Greenville witness on Thursday May 26th, the most jinique parade ever seen on her streets. That the streets will be lined with spectators for this event is a foregone conclu sion. It is even predicted that the "S. R. 0." sign will he hung on the door of every office fronting on the streets along the line of march. Many deplore the fact that the 17 story Woodward building will not be avau&bie iot omooKers w uoc oo a point of vantage in seeing this mon aster parade. Nothing Like It Before At Shrine ceremonials here in the past the parades ' have attracted many spectators, but, generally speaking, the relatives and friends of the various members and candi dates predominated. Parades in the past were only a secondaxy consid eration, looked upon as such and very little attention given them by the temple. But on May 2$th every thing will be different. This time the Shriners will treat the public to something in the way of a parade that will Hve for years in the memory of all who witness it. For young and old it will prove as im pressive as a boy's first circus pa rade. It will contain many amusing spectacles for every ome, no matter what their age. Towns to Compete The various towns within the Temple's jurisdiction have been re quested to furnish some particular feature for the parade and a cup will be offered for the best. Green ville will not be a competitor, but nevertheless will put in some fea tures ofi" "her own. A number of the nearby cities have already called a meeting of their members and have written that they will be pres ent with the intention of taking home the cup. Until the day of the parade the feature which the varous towns will offer will not be known. Line of March Unlike circus parades, this Shrin era parade will begin marching oh the very minute it is scheduled to start. No waiting will be necessary on the part of those wishing to avail themselves of the opportunity of witnessing this grand spectacle. Leaving Textile Hall promptly at 2:38 p. m. the enormous caravan! | will move east on Washington street to Main; south on Main to Broad street; back up Main, to the monu ment, down Main to Washington street and thence to Textile Hall. The Parade ReapJednent in their gorgeous new1 uniforms, Hejaz Temple's own bandj will lead the mammoth parade. An other new addition, Hejaz Shrine I>rum Corps will be In line with gay costumes and Hejaz Patrol?the 'backbone of the Temple?will be seen in fancy drills. The members of each town marching in a body and viewing with each dther for the pride will produce many novels and amusing features. Gumbo. (Elephas Humana*) Not soup, but a huge, tremendous Titanic, wild, yet pacific pachyderm. Measures 20 feet from the tip of his tail to his head and 20 feet from his head to the tip of his tail making 40 feet. The only elephantine ele-j phani of its kind in existence. Own ed by Hejaz Temple who now hasj under consideration presenting it to: the city of Greenville as a neuclus for a zoo to be established in City Park. Hear the swish of his mighty trunk, and swash of his wee "valise" as he pases in the parade. So gentle that a child cannot play with him; j so ferocious that he will eat peanuts out of your hand, this proboscidian mammal will appear in the parade without a mahout, or driver.

Cauae and Effect This pantomine will bring many of the masculine sex to realize how fortunate they are to eb out to wit ness the grand spectacle of this im mense parade.

George Harvey, American ambassador to Great Britain, was criticized Satur day in the House by Representative Stevenson of South Carolina, for statements against the League of Nations and the. cause of America's entrance into the war. , ."He said we went into the war to , save our hides, not to save civiiiza 'tion,' declared Stevenson "and that , j we will have nothing tq do with any League af Nations.

BOLL WEEVIL CONTROL IK EARLY SUMMER \ ' i Weevil Picking. Clemson College, May 9.?The cot ton boll weevil requires a Ions timo to come frptn its winter quarters in the spring and early summer. These pest* begin to emerge usually during the latter part of March and while nearly all of them wiil be out by the first week in June, yet there are stragglers that '*111 itnt rtmum nut iitlHl th? flrat week In Julj. They feed upon the tender leavea and tjie tips ot the buds until the squares begin to form. Whenever weevils' are present In no ticeable numbe r on the young cot ton, it will pay to 90 ofei' the Held carefullj once or twice a;tid collect these overwintered weevjla from the bud?, says Prof. A. F. Conrad, entomo logist.' This can be done moiit econom ically. effecilreljr Ju*t before the tijne wltk the utmost oaro, the ma jority of the wesvils may bo gathered before a ay eggs have bean laid. The weevils may b"i killed by crushing them When caught or by putting them in a veasel containing water with a film of kerosene over it. The collec tion of weevils before the squares are formed, it is estimated, will not pay where upon thorough search lees than 50 weevils per acre are found. To catch weevils from the plants, the fol lowing method ia generally used: One hand is held horizontally under the tip of the plant so that when this tip is bent over with the other hand it may be readily caught. This method is based on. the fact that title weevil "plays possum" and will drop to thfe ground like dead when disturbed. The . operator will soon learn this. A great many weerils will escape by dropping ito the ground so quickly that they are not even noticed by the collector, Square Picking. Where an attompt at square pick ing Is' contemplated, the following | should receive careful consideration. I First, collecting should be begun about ten days after the first bloom is seen in the field. Second, unless the work is done thoroughly it is not pro-1 Stable, and this means not only that ! squares must be picked from the ground, but also chose that hare dried an the plants, an well is those that show by their unnatural pale or yel low color, or by faring, that they are Injured so that those squares hang ing on the plants may not give the we evil sufficient time to come out: be fore the next collection. This means, that collection should be made about; every fifth day. Fourth, the collec-; tion of squares should be conti nued for at least six weeks. Fifth, the col lection of squares is generally advised ' during the first few weeks of the, square forming period where weevils have lived through the winter In large number#. Sixth, it must not be for gotten that under boll weevil condi tions much depends upon cultivation The chief object is to urge the growttj' and fruiting of the plants as rapidly : as possible. Seventh, it is estimated i that it will not pay to pick weevils or j squares unless low priced labor is' available. Frequently this can be; secured by the employment of women, and children who have an interest in: the crop. Those who are planning to use the! calcium arsenate poisoning method for controlling the boll weevil are di- j rected to Circular 162, U. S. Depart-, ment of Agriculture, Washington, D.' C., which gives explicit information in the fewest words possible. To Control Chicken Lice. ! i i .Sodium Fluorid Most Satisfactory.. Clemson College, May.?Poultry lie? I do not suck blood. They feed on por- j tions of the feathers or on tho scales of the skin. The greatest Ions from iice is possibly that of young chick mis which may become infested from th? mother hen, even before they become dry after leaving the egg shell. Though there are several kinds ol poultry lice, they can all be controlled by tne same meinoa. ! Control. Sodium fluorid appears to be th? J moat satisfactory chemical to use fo* j the control of all kinds of poultry lice j The treatment must be thorough, and every fowl in the poultry yard must ( be treated, because If one infested chicken escapes, it may then be bu? J a sort time until the entire flock la i again infested. The commercial form, of sodium fluorid may be obtained at most drug stores. Small amounts or i "pinches" of this chemical should b? I placed on different parts of the body of the chicken as follows: Place the fowl on a table in an open vessel, hold the legs and wings in one hand, and with the other* hand place a small pinch of the chemical next to the skin among the feathers on the head!, neck each thigh, underside of spread wings, 1 and distribute by pushing the fingers; among the feathers. One pound will ; treat about 190 hens. For young chicks the head, back and body are the only parts that are necessary to treat. Precautions. Wask the hands thoroughly after dsing chemical. It will not injure the hands, but it is frequently irritable to sores. It should of course nerer be taken internally. The reading farmer Is the leadinj fanner.

California cherries and Georgia peaches are already flowing to the markets, while the strawberry crop was said to be abundant in several places. A good crop of apples and peaches is expected in Colorado and an aver age yield of late apples is promised in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Tennessee is looking forward to the largest blackberry crop on. re cord ,although expecting a short ap ple and peach crop. Utah >rill, pro bably have only a fifty percent peach crop. Fair crops of blackber ries and raspberries are looked for in Missouri. The paple crop outlook in Iowa is improving the Department announc ed, but in Michigan only a light yield, except in winter apples and pears is expected. In Arizona the peach crop is almost a total failure and in Delaware peeaches, pears? plums and cherries have been prac tically killed by frost. . . X Virginia was said to have very poor prospects in fruit this year. GREENWOC COLLEGE < ? HOW MAY I SECURE A THIS This is a question that man at this time.
