Claxton, former commissioner of education, instituted the observance of the first week in December as "Educatioi Wdek." The American Legion lost year became interested in the per petuation of such a week and tool the initiative in inviting the Nat ional Education Association and othei organization to co-operate in the observance of "American Educatioi Week." This year the United States Bureau of Education is cooperating with the American Legion and the National Education Association in in viting every American organizatior club, church, school, newspaper, mag azine, theater and individual anti the individual bodies of every description to participate in making the week, Decejncbr, 3-9, a real nation-wide revive 1 of educational enthusiasm. The Americanism Commission of the American Legion called upon the Comissioner of Education to invite President Harding to isue a Proclamation for the observance of this week. The President has given assurance of his desire and willingness to do this. The Bureau of Education has arranged with the lnterdepartment Advisory Committee on Government Radio Broadcasting to use the Government's broadcasting stations twice a day throughout the week for the material in connection with the week's campaign. The Commissioner of Education called upon Will H. Hays, president of the Motion Picture Producers and Distribitors of America, to dscover to what extent the motion-picture houses of America would cooperate. Mr. Hays was very generous and enthusiastic and has definitely arranged for the working out of a program in which the facilities of the motionpicture houses may be used effectively during American Education Week. All governors, mayors and others in places of executive authority are fexpected and invited to issue procla mauons and otherwise promote general observance of this great movement in Jiehalf of education. The newspapers and press generally have been invited to issue educational editions, and if this is not possible to emphasize education during these days by editorials, special articles, and in such other ways as they find possible. v. It seemed wise, in order that the campaign might be concentrated upon phases of education which are of outstanding significance, to designate certain days on which topics should be stressed. These days are as follows: Sunday, December I}, Clod and Country; Monday, December 4, American Citizenship; Tuesday, DeDecember 6, School and Teacher; Thursday, December 7, Illiteracy; Friday, December S, Equality of Opportunity; and Saturday, December 9, Physical Education and Hygiene. rjy 1 - i. * i i- - ' * ' xuese topics nave oeen seiecioa Decause they are consideve 1 to be matters of national importance and desirable throughout the country. It is suggested that these topics should not preclude the various States from emphasizing those features of education which need to be emphasized | at this time in their respective States, nor should they prevent cities and localities form pushing their individual needs. It hardly seems necessary to urge upon the schools and those responsible for the adminstration and instruction in the schools that it is expected that all will join in the general observance of promoting education during American Education Week to the utmost extent of their abilites. Programs can be effectively arranged througout all of our schools which will materially enhance the value of this general effort. At the time of present writing a very large unmber of State Superintendents and State Commissioners of Education have responded enthusiastically in endorsing the observance of American Education Week and none have expressed opposition or indifference. The unity of effort and interest which has already been displayed is but an earnest and evi dence that this bids fair to be the greatest campaign for education that has ever been made in the United States. SENATOR GEORGE, OF GEORGIA The State of Georgia started the fall elections with a Democratic primary that was full of pep. The sudden death of Senator Thomas E. Watson caused a political commotion in the Cracker State. There were six candidates for the Senatorship, each claiming to be Simon-pure Watson men. Two, however withdrew from the race. Judge W. F. George seemed to have been able to corral the Watson vote, and swept the State. The nomination in Georgia, as in South Carolina, is equivalent to election. The contest, short and sharp, lasted only about ten days. Col. Thomas W. Loyless, editor of the Columbus Enquirer-Sun, in wtit -? > claiming to bo Watson men and 1 thereby entitled to wear his mantle (fs Elisha wore the mantle of Elijah) that the only way to find out Watson's choice was to consult the spirits t&ough the Ouija board. However, the new Senator seems to be a man of ability. He has made a good judge and it is believed he will make a good Senator. 1 William Randolph Hearst, although defeated for the nomination for Governor of New York State announces that he will support the nominee, Alfred Smith. This is in line with Hearst's usual procedure, though if | he lives up to his promise it will be ( first time on record that he has ever failed to knife the man who gvt . what he himself had wanted. l\ Molor^tn??

' ROMANCES OF EVERYDAY LIFE I Washington.?Swiss insurance com. panies have increased their rates on ; women risks as much as 15 per cent.

Breck Call nut yourself the sport of fate, Nor curse the luck that kills; There is no luck for him who prays And does what wisdom wills. Oh, long ago that law began, A law forever true: There's some life-plan for every man, So there's a plan for you. There is no height you may not reach, No good to be denied, If you but learn what truth will teach, And go where truth will guide. Grope not alone where darkness | reigns, No goalless path pursue; God has a plan for every man, And he has one for you. There's never failure for the soul Who consecrates his youth To all that's worthy to control, And grasps the ami of truth. Then seek your highest destiny, And clutch life's, grandest clue; Go forth, and true success shall be In God's right plan for you. FIGHT NEXT YEAR'S WEEVILS NOW Clemson College, Oct. 20.?Cleaning of the fields, the destruction of the stalks, and the planting of cover crops constitute the most powerful weapons for weevil fighting now in the hands of the farmer, says Prof. A. F. Conradi, Entomologist, who says that by efficient fall farm management the farmer can dictate to a great extent how many weevils shall pass the winter on his farm. Though much warning has already been given by the entomolgists, and though county agents are preaching stalk destruction right and left, many farmers are apparently not convinced of the need for immediate stalk destruction, says Prof. Conradi, and do not realize that this is practically the most important single step in any system of fighting the weevil. Boll weevils multiply in cotton until frost kills it. Many thousands of weevils may occur in each acre of cotton. Weevils hibernate, that is, they pass the winter, only in the full grown stage. Hibernation usually begins with the coming of the first killing frost. They hibernate principally in cotton fields, and standing stalks make for them splendid winter homes. The most favorable condition, therefore, for the successful' hibernation for boll weevils is found m fields where the cotton stalks, grass, weeds, dead leaves, etc., are left during the winter. Under such conditions the farmers my expect the greatest number of weevils to survive the winter. There is little prospect for successful cotton growing under such conditions. The earlier the cotton stalks are destroyed, the fewer the weevils that will survive the winter, and consequently the smaller the damage to the next crop. As far as possible, the stalkr. should be destroyed two weeks before the first killing frost. In some sections the stalks are upreeted, piled and burned. This method is a very serious disadvantage in destroying a large amount of vegetable matter which should be turned under. Whenever the farmer is equipped with plows and mules so that the stalks may be turned under five to six inches after they have been ' cut down with the chopper, it is a very effective plan. A less effect- ' ive method is to graze off all green cotton within a period of'a few days. Whatever method one employs, the destruction of stalks must be thorough. The following are a few of the many advantages securtd from cleaning the fields and destroying the stalks. 1. A great many full grown weevils are Killed outright. 2. Many young stages in the plants are killtd. Thp I'lill orrhUJn w/invilo r? rvf ed are weakened! by starvation if the stalks are destroyed two to three \ weeks before the forst and thesfc will not have sufficient strength to pass the winter successfully. 4. The removal of the stalks facilitates fali plowing and the planting of cover crops. 5. This 1 all cleaning program is ' also of the greatest benefit gener- ' ally in destroying tun winter homes pnd the winter food plants of other ! injurious pests of the farm. | Renew your health by purifying your i system with ^ ^otabs The purified and refined calomel tablets that are free i from nausea and danger.
