Prof. A. F. Conradi Tells How to Kill Weevil. Clemson College, March 14.-The Association of Cotton States Ento mologists held a call meeting at Vicksburg, Miss., and Tallulah, La., the first week in March. Prof. A. F. Conradi, chief of the entomology di vision of Clemson College, who at tended this meeting says that there was a large attendance of entomolo gists, representatives of state depart ments of agriculture, extension work ers, manufacturers and planters. Among other things the boll wee vil situation was discussed in detail, especially with reference to poison ing in 1920. Following are some facts and conclusions gathered by Prof Conradi at the meeting: L Experience shows quite positive ly that successful poisoning depends largely on using proper machines built for this work. 2. Attempts at poisoning with the bag and pole method or with the old types of dusting machinery proved unsatisfactory in 1919. 3. Though several manufacturers are interested in producing properly constructed dusting machines, pro duction is yet necessarily limited and only a comparatively few ma chines will be available in 1920. 4. Farmers should make sure of a suitable machine before buying pois on, which is useless without a ma chine. 5. The supply of calcium arsenate, the approved poison, is greater than the supply of machnies necessary to dust it. 6. The manufacture of calcium ar senate is by no means standardized and for various purposes besides pois oning weevils. 7. A special calcium arsenate pro duced is needed for weevil poison ing for satisfactory results. 8. The specifications of the United States department of agriculture for this material should be followed, namely : Not less than 40 per cent, arsenic pentoxide. Not more than 0.75 per cent water soluble arsenic pentoxide. Density not less than 80 or more than 100 cubic inches per pound. ?>. The buyer should secure con tract to this effect and upon receiv ing the material, send sample taken from different packages for free analysis to Delfs Laboratory, Tallu luh, La. 10. Analyses are made free and as promptly as possible. Instructions for collecting samples can be had from Delts Laboratory of Prof. A. F. Con radi. R. Goodwyn Rhett for U. S. Senate. "Washington, March 13.-Washing ton today heard some interesting South Carolina political gossip refer ring to the race for the United States senate during the coming summer. Friends of R. Goodwyn Rhett, of Charleston, formerly mayor of that city and one of its best known citi zens, have been discussing his name in connection with the matter. What conclusion they have reached is not known and nothing more than the fact that his name has been un der consideration was available here today. It was also said that former "Senator Christie Benet of Columbia, who was in thc senate for several months immediately after the death of Senator Tillman, has the matter under consideration, but has not yet made up his mind what he will do. Friends of former Governor Rich ard R. Manning, have suggested to .the members of the South Carolina Jelepation in congress that his name be presented to the president for ap pointment as one of the additional members of the interstate commerce commission. It is learned, however, the members had already endoi'sed another South Carolinian for this place before they heard from Gov. Manning's friends.

RALSTON, D. D. Secretary of Correspondence Department, Moody Bible Institute, Chicago TEXT-Himself he cannot save.-Mat?. 27:42. The words given here as the text for this meditation were not true on the occasion of their utterance. They were nt- j tered by the high priests, as Jesus hung on the cross, and were spoken of Jesus s a vi n g himself physically, break ing away from the cross and tak ing his place among the people. Jesus had the power, even while nailed to the cross, and all clr cum s tances against him, to save himself. But the idea of salvation, or the 6avlng from the position of loss and ruin, is not confined to Jesus. It con cerns every man who recognizes the being of God, his moral responsibili ties and the realities of a future life. Most men recognize that they are not right with God, yet many of them do not take any thought that they need eaving. As lost, they are to be found, as perishing, they need to be saved. That the drift of the day in some respects is towards emphasizing the ephemeral and the things of little consequence in themselves, is ac knowledged. Yet there is a certain seriousness as to man's relationship to God that has attracted attention. The sudden dying of millions of men within the last four years has made many think. Many thousands of men have stood in the battle front and seen their comrades fall by their side, and have seen the battlefields strewn with the bodies of the dead and dy ing. These hin e had serious thoughts, and many such have brought these thoughts home with them. A man to be right with God must be good, but :he very book that tells us about God and our relationship to him says that "there is none that doeth good; no, not one." "All we like sheep have gone astray. We have turned every one to his own way and the Lord hath laid on him the in iquity of us all." (Isa. 53:6.) Not only does the Bible speak of man being wrong as to his outward life, but he is wrong as to his nature, his whole Inner being is corrupted ; In deed, he is an enemy of Goth Whether he knows it or not, the wrath of God rests on him; condemnation is n<\t awaiting him, he is doomed already. Man cannot save himself. A deep consideration of man's moral and spiritual standing shows that he is absolutely incapable of saving him self. Few think deeply on Bible teaching, and most think that by some kind of outward exer tion, or moral conduct, everything will be made right with God. We do not speak of the Pharisee of the New Testament times, a day of extremely formal religion, but we have in mind the vast majority of people, Gentiles as well as Jews, who have some con ception that mao can, by the strictest observance of law, doing the very best that is in him, living up to all the light he has, win, or merit, God's favor. This is a delusion that Satan uses most successfully. The natural man thinks so much of himself that any intimation that his righteousness is as filthy rags is offensive ; but such are the principles of God's moral gov ernment, that unless a man is perfect, all is lost. A single missing link is fatal. But man is not left helpless. He can be saved, but it is hy One whose work as a Savior is a matter of pure revelation. While the principle <of substitution is one that is quite com mon in the affairs of man, few men dream that the principle applies to spiritual salvation. Jesus Christ came into this world to seek and save the lost, he came as a ransom for many, and proclaims to all that If they come to him they may be saved. "There is none other name given un der heaven amongst men, whereby we must be saved." Jesus Christ is not an absentee Savior. He is a very near friend, a true brother to every one who will accept him. While there is a great mystery as to this sinlessness, Jesus was tempted in all points like as we are, yet without sin. Even now in his glorified state, he is touched with the feeling of our infirmities, and further more he ls the Savior who will make man's salvation complete. In the fifth Liberty loan campaign, the most impressive pictorial adver tisement was that of a common labor ing man dressed in his laboring clothes, four Liberty buttons pinned to his breast, and with his hand thrust Into his pocket saying, "Sure, we'll finish the job." Jesus Christ will finish the job. He will not only be with the man until he dies, but he will receive him If he dies, which is far better than to let him remain on the earth; but in any case, whether the man dies or not, his body will be made like Christ's glorlons body, and he will be exalted to reign with Christ for ever.

It is a stern, sobering event to the average man when he takes unto himself a wife, lt means two mouths to feed instead of one. Two people to be properly clothed, a home to furnish, additional duties and responsibilities. lt means more economy, more careful adjustment of finances.
