FREE LECTURE ON
BOLL WEEVIL FIGHT.
A special illustrated lecture
will be given free to farmers and j
business men at Pauls Valley Feb-,
ruary 24th, according to plans I
1 now being perfected by County |
Agent A. T. Budge.
The lecture will deal thorough-1
! ly with boll weevil poison as used j
i in the south. An expert from the1
i Delta Laboratories at New Or- j
'leans, La., will have charge of |
| the lecture. |
The meeting will probably be
held at 1:00 P. M. at one of the lo-
cal picture shows, so that the
pictures can be shown to the best
of advantage.
A special effort is being made
j to interest all of the bankers of
the county, and it is hoped to

bank in the county here for the
lecture February 24th.
At that meeting plans will be
launched to secure a demonstra-
tion of boll weevil extermination
by the special traveling force of
the United States Department of

other counties of Oklahoma and
the cotton raisers are profiting
much by the demonstrations giv-
en.

j Garvin county ex-service men
are taking much interest in the
soldier bonus bill which promises
'to be passed by Congress at once.
Many of the local soldiers are tor
| the bill and numbers are indiffer-
ent.
It has been pointed out that a
distribution of the funds provided
1 in the bonus would do much to
brace business and help with gen-
eral conditions throughout the
i nation.
The bill as now being consider-
ed by the Republican leaders pro-
vides a payment in ca h to sach
former soldier of $1.00 a day for
oach day he was in the service if
on home soil or $1.25 a day for his
foreign service. From the pay-
li ments as above indicated the
$60.00 bonus already paid to the
soldiers will be deducted.
An additional 40 per cent will
be given to the soldier who has
the government place his payment
, toward a home or a farm. Almost
i a thousand dollars will be paid *.0
the overseas soldier who spent the
length of ithe war there, but of
course the main body of former
service men will receive small
amounts, from a few dollars to
about $350.00 being the average.
