terving life sentenca for murder, from
Muskogee county, was stabbed to

1 number of prisoners were leaving

Both prisoners had knives. Fritz
lied half an hour after he was stab-
ed. The two had befcn enemies for

nonths.
Fritz was originally sentenced to
tang, in November, 1910, but the
leath penalty was commuted.
Hall was convicted in 1904 and
lerved the early part of his term in

Of all the birds known as natural
enemies of the cotton boll weevil, ori-
oles, swallows and nighthawks are
the most important, according to the
Biological Survey, of the U. 8. De-
partment of Agriculture. Insect spe-
cialists of the bureau have made ex-
tensive investigations of the subject,
which have developed that there are
sixty kinds of birds that eat the wee-
vil.
The nighthawk, or bulibat, catches
the weevils on the wing in considera-
ble numbers, especially during their
migrations. Unfortunately the night-
hawk is shot for snort or eaten for
fbod in come secLions of the south-
west, but its value for food is infln-
itestimal as compared with the serv-
ices it renders the cotton grower and
oilier agriculturists, and every effort
should be made to sprdad broadcast a
knowledge of its usefulness as a wee-
vil destroyer, with a view to its com-
plete protection. The orioles, bart
swallow, roughwing swallow, bank
swallow, cliff swallow, and the martin
are all persistent enemies of the boll
weevil.
From the-standpoint of the farmer
and the cotton grower, these swal-
lows are among the most useful .birds.
Especially designed by nature to cap-
ture insects in iniduir, tlreir powers
