The Mexican boll weevil is an insignificant little cuss.
Ho is about one-quarter of an inch long, but he has an appe-
tite IJke u hippopotamus, remarks G. Y. Clement who continues!
as lollows: '
Lver since he came across the Rio Grande, he has been
costing' us good United States money. Last year he cost us two
hundred million dollars.. One hundred and fifty million of this
was damage to cotton crops and fifty million' we liu'd out trying
to kill him off.
This, year, Mr, Mexican boll weevil, will again 'tax lis alxiut
two dollars a head or two hundred million dollars.
, There is' another kind of boll weevil which also infects oui
country. .
Sometimes it conies across the Mexican bdrdilr. '&jm;oiimes
it conies across, the Atlantic. ,
It looksrjike a man, talks like a man and walks like a inan
1 but ISN'T. It carries a red flag in one hand and a torch in the
other. Its pockets are full of bombs, its brains are full of dyna
mite, and its very breath is poison. ' .
Beside this human boll weevil, the Mexican boll weevil is
' nothing.
Where the Mexican boll weevil costs us two hundred million
dollars a year, the human boll weevil, most conservatively esti
1 mated, costs American industry a billion dollars a year. v
The Mexican boll weevil bores into the tender cotton plant
and lays an egg that hatches a grub that kills the plant.
. The human boll weevil bores into men's minds and inserts
grubs that destroy honesty, faith, loyalty, patriotism and in-,
dustry. t
It gnaws at the vitals of those institutions that have helped
you and me and every other worker in America to our place in'
the sun. " ' i ; , ; j : i ;
j Some men think they are so big and powerful and strongly
entrenched that they can afford to ignore the boring in of the
-j human-boll weevil. - Such men are merely emulating the ostrich.

Keeping Up A neighborhood '
- Theoretically a man who owns property oiiKht to have the
Wtcht to do what he wants to with his own land. Yet, practically
the man who does just as he wishes with his own property may
crcuto serious damage to his neighbors. For instance, it' a man
who owns a home in a pretty residence nei,hhoihood should put
up an ujfly chicken coop in a conspicuous position, the neighbor
hood is to some extent daniajrod. Ileal estate promoters often
establish restrictions on the use of land which those purchnsinir
consent to for the benefit of the neighborhood.
Sonic people may object to certain restrictions, on the ground
that they interfere too far with private rights. Vet these eon
ditions may make the land more attractive to others because (hey
seem to make the property more secure against deterioration. T In
built of the residence property in American towns has probably
been sold without such conditions. An unrestricted neighbor
hood must rely on the good sense of its residents lo keep their
property in good shape.
People ought to realize that if they make an.v; addition that
is1 inappropriate or ugly, or If they put up structures unsuited tt.
the location, a damage is done not merely to their neighbors, but
to themselves as well. The inexpensively built town may show
st ninth refinement in its homes and the care given them, thai
it looks more pleasing and livable than one in which the average
cost of the dwelling was twice as much.

We can see what more acreage of chenies would moan to this
