There was .a difference of opinion
concerning Miss - Seabnrys successor.
A portion of-the town people.-were for

training. Others, remembering; that
Miss Seabury h ad gradnated from that
school, were for proved . ability and
less -op to date methods. These latter
had selected a' candidate fer tile person

- A part - at least - of Mr. Stmpean'B
prophecy proved ' true.' Hon. " Mr. At
kins did come to Baypart-lef ollowtng

ter, Alicia, the - honsekecper '. and .the

his daughter bad been since the ad
journment of congress' on . a pleasure
trip to the -'osemJfte and Yellonvstone
park, and now fcey were- to- remain in
the -mansion on-the bill foe some time.
The meeting between Captain Cy
and Mr. Atkins took ptaoe the morn
ing after-the tatter's -retam. The caf
tam and his two enrrros had. been, in
specting tbe progress Jna-de by -the car
penters and were leaningocr the -new
fence, then just erected, bat not yet

Mr. Tidditt removed bis, hat. BoQey
touched his. Captain Cy. looked- pro
vofctngly indtfflerent. Ee - evem w4te

the town clerk, raising his voice be
cause of the whistle. "I'm proud to

How is she pretty smart?"
"Ab,Asaphr he said. "It is yon

glad to be back in the old home nest

"Mr. Atkins," said Bailey, glancing
nervously at Captain Cy, who had
stopped whistling and was regarding
the Atkins hat and whiskers with an
Interested air, "I want to make you

i The great man started.

possible that this Is really my-old play
mate Cyras Whittaker?"
"Yap," replied the captain calmly.
"How are you, Heman? Pattern you
used to be, ain't you? Washinton
must agree with yoo.'
Bailey and Asaph were' scandalized.
Mr. Atlrms himself seemed a trifle

taken aback. Comments, on his per
sonal appearance were not usual in
Bayport.. But he rallied bravely.
"Well, welll" he cried. "Cyrus, X
am delighted to welcome you back
among us. I should scarcely, have
known you. Yon are older yes, much
older."
"Well, forty years, more or less, add
ed! to what you started with. Is apt to
make a feller some older."
"Mr. Atkins," the town clerk said,
"tiherets been considerable talk in town
about who's to be teacher downstairs
this -comln' year. We've sort of chawed
It over among na, but naturally we
wanted your opinion. What do you
thinks I'm kind of leania' toward the
Dawes woman myself."
j The congressman cleared his throat.
' "Par be it from me," he said, "to
epeak except as a . mere member of
our little community,' , an ; ordinary
member, but as such a member, with
the welfare of my birthplace very
near and dear to me, I confess' that-1
am inclined to favor a modem-teacher,

great commonwealth. The Dawes er
person is undoubtedly worthy land

"Yes. W611, Tffl glad to hear you put

and turned to go.
"Good day, gentlemen" be eald.

Captain Cy was still gazing -at the
dignified form of the "biggest gun in

"loot's see," he asked. "Who's on the
school committee? Eben Salters, of

"Yea. CbenB chairman, and he'll

The school committee met on the
following Wednesday ' evening. On
Thursday morning a startling rumor
spread through all Bayport Phoebe
Dawes had been called by. a vote of
two to one to teach the downstairs
school. Asaph, aghast, rushed out of
Simmons''' stove and up to the hill to
the Cy Whittaker place. He found
Captain Cy la the front yard. Mr.
Myrick. school committeeman and

"Hello, Ase!" . hailed the captain.
"What's the matter? Hasn't tile tide

Asaph, somewhat embarrassed by
the presence of Mr. Myrick, hesitated
over bis news. lemuel came to his

FOB TOBACCO. GROWERS.
Government's Plan for Controlling tbe
HornwormaV i .
The United States department of
agriculture has conducted experiments
looking to the destruction of the busy
hornworm, ' and it sends out instruc
tions that may be helpful to growers
in districts affected by it . A circu
lar from the department , has . this
story to say:
Growers of dark tobacco in Kentucky
and Tennessee have a serious prob
lem in the ever-present tobacco horn
worms which are great chewers of
green tobacco. When labor was plen
tiful and cheap,, "hand worming" was
an economical and efficient . way to
combat the pest . For several years
labor in these tobacco growing dis
tricts has become scarce and also in
efficient so growers have been forced
to resort to insecticdes. Naturally
Paris green was tried and found to be
the safest and most efficient of any
on the market but there has always
been complaint of frequent and ser
ious burning, of tobacco as a result of
its use.
For five years employees of the De
partment of Agriculture have been
conducting investigations looking for
a safe and effective insecticide, and
have determinedd ' that di-plumbic ar
senate of lead meets all requirements.
A thorough application of this in
secticide will kill practically every
hornworm within two ; or three days
after being applied and will continue
for several days to kill - the young
worms that hatch, without any injury
to the plant Arsenate of lead costs
more than Paris green and if the com.
parative cost were the only, question,
it would be useless to recommend the
former; but the first cost is only a
secondary consideration. The object
is to kill the worms and not - injure
the plants, and the certainty of this
compensates for the extra cost of the
arsenate of lead. Arsenate of lead
must be mixed with a carrier and ap
plied with a dust grin. Finely sifted
freshly burned wood ashes make the
best carrier .nd at least a. bulk equal
to the insecticide should be used. The
best guns are those With a fan diam
eter of 8 inches with an auxiliary dust
chamber. -
Apply the mixture when, the dew
is on the plants and there is no breeze
and make the application thorough.
Do not wait too long. The first
application should be made when the
worms become too numerous to be
kept off. by the hand picking that Is
usually done while hoeing, suckering.
or -topping, and a second and even a
third application may be necessary. j
To save the cro-p, applications must
be given when the number of eggs
and young worms indicate the need,
and the dose per acre of the arsenate
of lead will vary from 3 1-2 pounds
before the plants have begun to lap
in the row to 6 pounds when the to
bacco is full-grown.1 If applied as a I
spray, use 3 to 4 pounds in 100 gal
lons of water. TSiose interested in
the subject can find detailed informa
tion in Entomology Circular 173, re
cently issued by the United States De
partment of Agriculture, entitled "Ar
senate of Lead as an Insecticide
Against the -Tobacco HornWorms," by
A. C. Morgan and D. C Parman, en

6. After a strenuous bit of exercis
ing, apply cold towels to your neck.
And toy the way, if you must use
powder on your neck, use it sparingly,
and let it be a very fine talcum. If
you are in the hatrit of wearing gold
or silver chains around your neck, the
powder is affected by the moisture of
the skin and makes a distinct and
hard-to-remove black. line around the

clean with soap and water, and avoid
powder, and you will never be trou

, I most sincerely hope the high col

tendant evils are so many and so ser
ious that I am sure if the question of
dutch necks vs. high collars should
ever be put to popular vote it would
be effectually vetoed. There Is noth
ing pretty or graceful about the neck
swarthed in cloth and braced up with
dangerous stays. ,

you would the plague. ,
