Clemson College, May 12.—"Present indications are that boll weevil pots-1 on tag will rapidly develop into a very important factor in boll weevil con-J trol in heavily infested fields,” says Prof. A. F. Conradi, Entomologist for l the State Crop Pest Commission; but; he adds: "Whoever poisons in South Caro-; lina in 1920 must remember that he iis experimenting, and should bad re sults be secured he should not be come discouraged, because many mis takes will be made this season. After this season we will know more about It.” Summed up, the precautions to be observed are given as follows; 1. Poisoning should not be under taken in 1920 except on heavily in fested land which would produce half a bale per acre in the entire absence of weevil injury. 2. Before yon use your calcium ar senate be sure that it conforms to the government specifications. 3. Be sure that you have an ap proved dusting machine. Some dust ing machines are not satisfactory for this work. 4. Do not undertake more .than you are absolutely sure you can han dle thoroughly. Do not miss or han dle haphazardly a single step in the recommendations or you may court entire failure. 5. Where approved hand dusting machines are used, it is suggested that the beginner plan on five acres per machine unless he has plenty of good labor so that he can rotate sev eral men on one machine. 6. At this .stage of development poisoning is a serious, complicated and laborious operation, and unless one is able to prepare properly be fore beginning poisoning, nnd unless he is prepared to give it the atten tion it requires, he should not under take poisoning in 1920.

Alderman, Jr., Florence, S. C. Watoga, W. Va.—Mrs. S. W. GladwefI, of this town, says: "When about 15 years of age, 1 suffered greatly ... Sometime* would go a month or two, and I had terrible headache, backache, and bearing- down pains, and would just drag and had no appetite. Then ... it would last ... two weeks, and was so weakening, and my health was awful. My mother bought me a bottle of Cardui, and I began to improve after taking the first bottle, so kept it up till 1 took three... 1 gained, and was well and strong, and I owe it all to Cardui. I am married now and have 3 children . .. Have never had to have a doctor for female trouble, and just resort to Cardui if I need a tonic. 1 am glad to testify to what it has done for me, so as to help others.” If you are nervous or weak, have head aches, backaches, or any of the other ailments so common to women, why not give Cardui a trial? Recommended by many physicians. In use over 40 years. Begin taking Cardui today. It may he the very medicine you need. NO130 Foremost among the participants in the Methodist General Conference at DesMoines has been Bishop Jos eph F. Berry, who today enters upon his slxty-fitth year and who within a few days will complete sixteen years of service in the bishopric. A Canadian by birth, theson of a Melho dist preacher, he joined his father’s c-hrtrch at the age of 14, as the result of a revival. Two years later he be gan to preach’ and for several years thereafter enjoyed a reputation thru- out Michigan as “the boy preacher.” As a lad he had learned something of the printer’s trade, and as a pas tor he wrote successfully for the press. His journalistic instinct led him into Methodist journalism, and from 1890 until his election as a bi shop in 1904 he edited the young peo pte’s weekly of the Methodist denotn Inal ion. 4444444444444444 9 TODAY’S ANNIVERSARIES 4 ♦ 44444444444<r444 1670 1 —A charter was granted to the Hudson Bay Company. 1783—Order of the Cincinnati formed by officers of the American army encamped on the Hudson. v 1846—The two celebrated racing mares, Fashion and Peytona, en gaged in a match race oh Long Island for 820,000. 1873—Seventy-five persons were kil led in a disaster at the Drum mond Colliery, in Nova Scotia. 1879—Mary Josephine Young was the first woman to secure a license ’ to practice law in California. 1890—Mrs. Andrew Carnegie laid the cornerstone for the Carnegie Mu sic Hall in New York City. 1895—A plan of reform in Armenia was submitted to Turkey by some of the powers. 1908—Hiram Cronk, the last surviving vereran of the.

You can make the day’s work easier by using the cultivator shown here because just an easy, swaying motion of the body swings the seat fo either side and guides the gang. It is easy for a hoy to operate the Avery “Joy Rider” Side levers after being set to give the desired depth of cultivation need not be touched, making it easy when turning. Standards can be tilted so sweeps clean the bed. 1 he distance between gangs is changed without stopping the team, and wheels can be set as close together as 40 inches or as far apart as 48 inches.

They saw her take her po sition next to a beautiful cabinet. Thev saw her lips give voice to the opening hues of Caro Nome. 'Then suddenly her lip were still—hut the song kept flowing on. How came this? They were hearing Miss Verlet's voice, yet Miss Verlet was not sieging. The entire audience gasped as it slowly realized that it had been unable to distinguish be tween Miss Verlet’s voice and the RE-CREATION of that voice by the New Edison. This was the during test undertaken « last night at the Opera House by Thomas A. Edison. He sought to prove that no difference exists between the voice of the living artist and its RE- C-RKA I ION by the New Edison. The musically cultured of Florence were invited to pass judgment. No test could have been more exacting. Miss Verlet made conijiarison after comparison. The mystified audience tried vainly to catch a difference be tween the original rendition and its RE-CREATION by the New Edison. No one could .tell one from the other. It was a triumph whole and com plete for the New Edison. The NEW EDISON u r r The Phonograph with a Soul" The instrument used in last night’s Tone-Test is the regular model which sells for $295 (in Canada, $431). It is an exact duplicate of the Laboratory Model which Mr. Edison perfected after spending Three Million Dollars in ex periments. The New Edison alone of all phono graphs is capable or sustaining this test. Until Mr. Edison knew it would do so, he regarded his work as unfinish ed. Ask some one who was present last night. Eearn the amazing truth. T hen come in and let us prove it personally to von. S. Vaughan Furniture Co.
