The county agent, like a lot -of the rest of us, is a little tardy some times and only mailed us the article in time to reach us at a late hour yes terday and consequently it v:ill be found away back in the paper.

' M " " The Atlanta brand of the Ku Klux Klan is about to wane. Signs point that way. A former legal counsel is bringing suit for $100,000 as back fees claimed to be a legitimate charge in view of the millions made by the klan. Humorists are beginning to take a 'whack at It. Many movements and ena can successfully withstand the :most serious criticism, but it is hard or a false prophet to survive the ar casm of the wits and cartoonist. The klan is doomed to go anyway. It has nothing substantial to stand on and about the best w'av to get rid of it is to let it alone. It will kill itself from lack of real sustenance. DAUGHTER OF OIL KING SPAR ATES Harry F. McCormick and Wife Sepa rated; Careers Drift Apart, They Say, *Chicajgo, Oct. 7.-Harry F. 31cCor unick and his wife, the daughter of John D. :Rockefeller, have separated, i was announced at the millionaire's 'Dklce Forest home Monday. McCo:mick, who is head of the In ternational Hlarvester company, in a statement issued through his secre tary,.defin!tely confirmed rumors that have been afloat ever since Mrs. Mc Cormick exiled herself In Switzerland eight years ago. "Mr. and Mrs. McCormick are liv ing apart," said the statement. "It Is tot known whethe r there will be di Yorce proceedings. No steps toward legal action have been taken." .The statement concluded: "Mr. McCormick hasn't anything 'fur'taer to give outt." SThe secretary to .John D). 'Rockefel Ier's son-in-law thon smiled. "I do not know wher'e Mr. Mc~or ~nick is nowv. lPerhaps I will not know all day." Mrs. McCormtick, wvho came back to chicago after her exile abroad In a lsychologist's retreat, evaded all In terviewers. She a rose ear'ly-soon 4tfter' dawtn--necot'dinig to r'eports, and1( slipped ot of thte servants' en *trance to her palatial town home ont the Gold C'otast. it was trepor'tedl she hand sec'reted Itersel f in a near'by ho tel, butt the htotel mantagetment de nied all knowledge of het' wheu'e abouts as; did htet' serv'ants and the detectives gutarding:' the gt'ounds. Mrs. McCormick, in hter' last ,publ Ic statement, mado Sunuday, denied ther'e had .beeni a break with her hustband. "tSuch talkI is abstu'd," she said. "Wve are very happy, indeed."

Mrs. McCormuick studied tnder prom 'inent pyhtschologists while abroad and had been quoted since site t'etuurned to dhicago to the effect thast she was abo~ut to establlli an institution for a ?6w school of thoutght. 2Mcj~ormiek has devoted a gu'eat 44ail of Ils timne'and money in recent 0arl to the promotion of the Chicago Grand Opeu'a comp~any.

Rlockefeller is helieved to have ,been asked by his daughter in her maritlal diflicultim with her husband. Mrs. McCornick t+';pted over it few days in New York upon her return from Europe and it Is reported she visited her billionaire father. Shortly afterward she and her hits hand traveled to Chicago on separate trains--after having returned from Eiurope on separate liners. Mrs. McCormick, since she arrived here, has denied ierself to several of her former close friends. The socially ,Irominent, whose pal atial houes line the "Gold Coast" North Shore Drive-were left to won dier whether Mrs. McCormick, in pur suit of her career, had renounced the position she alone had the right to claim-dictator of Chicago society. Eight years ago, before Mrs. Mc Cormick left for abroad, she shared the leadership with Mrs. Potter Pal mer. Since Mrs. Palmer's death,, Mrs. McCormick was entitled to the lead ershiip. Social lights expressed their belief, when KMrs. McCormick returned, that "Chicago would be 'Chicago again," but When the news leafted out that several of Mrs. McCormick's close friends had been unable to get to her, they believed she might not re enter the social life, but give all of her time to her psychology colony. Mrs. "Fifl" Stillman, center of the sensational divorce wrangle with her millionaire husband, James A. Still man, is a close friend of the McCor micks. She recently took the "rest cure" at Lake Forest while both McCo'nrmicks were away. Muriel, the daughter, was the hostess. Muriel McCormick and Anne Still man are bosom companions and are together either here or in the East frequently. Harold McCormick, Jr., is reported engaged to Anrne, but there has been no announcement. Bottled Fireflies Lure Fish. Anyone would have supposed that fish were immune to demoralization of modern scientific progress, but even fishing is coining under the sway of advanced and entirely original ideas of balt and fish hooks. Izaak Walton would have shuddered at the thought of using the storage battery in the tall of a firefly to lure wily bass at night, yet the contri vance has been used to good advan tage by William P. Osborne of the New York State College of Forestry. By imprisoning tireflies in a small glass vial and rigging the container with an ingenious arrangement of hooks, black bass have been found to succumb to the seinttilations of the insects and to swallow with great rap. idity hook, line and sinker. An ordinary tubular pill bottle is fitted with a harness to whlh are fastened three pronged hooks, two on the sides and one on the endl. The bottle is then equipped with a swivel similar to that used on a wooden min. now. Four or five good-sized fireflies are plnced In the bottle and the bottle sealed.-Milwaukee Journal.
