Plans were made months ago for the enlargement of our business. Car
penters are already at work in the roomy basement under our large north store,
and we shall soon open to the public a handsome new salesroom.
This.room, 50 feet long by 20 feet wide, will be reached by a short flight
crf wide easy stairs from the centre of the stores. It will be as large as the
original Barrows store, and together with our present two stores we shall have
2896 square feet of selling space.
New departments will be added and more room given to the lines we
already carry.
In clearing this basement for the workmen, we had to remove all the re
serve stock stored there. It makes our present stock-room overcrowded, there
fore this sale.
It is entirely a stock-reducing sale and there is something from every
department in the store. Anywhere the stock is too large the price is cut.
The Savings are 1-3 to 1-2.

An Enemy to the Boll Weevll.
Th deoartment of agriculture has an
nounced that an ant has been found ln
Gautemala that is an effective enemy to
the boll weevll. It will Immediately be
lntroduced lnto the cotton states. The
greatest slgnlflcance ls attached to the
dlscovery. which was made by C. F.
Cook, the botanlst ln charge of troplcal
agricultural lnvestlgation of the bureau
of plant lndustry. Cabled lnstructlons
have been sent to hlm to report Imme
diately to the department what asslstance
he needs ln the way of men and money.
During a trip ln Central Amerlca last
year Mr. Cook dlscovered a cotton gTOwn
by Indians which gave evldence of be
Ing lmmune from the attacks of the boll
weevll, and on orders from the depart
ment he later began an lnvestlgation ln
certain points ln Gautemala and Mexico.
Mr. Cook's investlgations have been ln
more or less accesslble reglons ln the
province of Alta. Vera Paz, Gautemala.
The weevils are present there, but the In
vestlgations show that they are unques
tlonably kept ln check by the presence
of an actlve enemy ln the shape of a
large reddish-brown ant, which ls at
tracted to the cotton by the food which it
secures from sets of Horal nectarles. Mr.
Cook's Investlgations show that these
ants spread themselves over flelds of cot
ton four or flve to a plant and that they
are constantly engaged ln the destruc
tlon of the boll weevll. Mr. Cook reports
that the adrolt and buslness-llke way ln
which the weevll ls dlsposed of seems
to prove beyond questlon that the ant Is,
by structure and Instlnct, especlally
equtpped for the work of destructlon.
