I BETHANY CHURCH C HRISTMAS Whittlesey Sending His Reply to the Germans Enterprise, Ala., l>ec. 23. — (A. p.) —The flrat monument to the boll weevil—the greatest enemy of cot- ton—has Juat been erected here. Coffee county planters expressing "profound appreciation" for the rav ages of the cotton enemy, have erect ed a beautiful bronxe fountain in the hnart of the business district here. It is a monument to the foe that con quered the county, it Is explained, and then pointed the way towards prosperity and new hopes. Growers of cotton who fathered the erection of the monufnent to the weevil, declared that the cotton ene- tmy had been a blessing In disguise In that It had brought about diversi fication of crops and thereby estab lished a new era In the south. The inscription on the fountain reads: "In profound appreciation of the Boll Weevil and what it has done as the Herald of prosperity this monu ment Is erected by tho citizens of Enterprise, Coffee County, Alabama. The one-crop South has become as a result of the terrible ravages of the weevil, an agricultural country which In the future will become self- supporting according to the Coffee county planter's, who have adopted the slogan, “‘A Sow to a Plow”. The disease of cotton that threatened to ruin the South, these farmers de clare, has been effectively checked by th« advent of the weevil, and new conditions brought about which mean futureRrrowth nml agricultural prosperity. / PUNISHMENT OF PUPIL UPHELD w Salem, Dec. 23.—(A.

Mont., Dec. 23.— (Au P.)— Mining companies near here have co operateti with the citizens of Butte In supporting the "community chest,” a relief fund conducted this winter under the auspices of the Butte Re lief Association. The mining com panies contribute $1.50 for every dollar donated by independent citi zens. According to the report of the ad ministration committee, supplies to the value of $28,886.28 were dis ti lbuted during the month of Novem ber. The December distribution, it was estimated, will exceed $60,000.

A comprehensive plan was devised to care for the distribution of sup plies and for the investigation of re quests for assistance. According to the report, every dollar raised la ex pended for relief purpose«, not a dol lar being used for administration or distribution costs. The Anaconda Copper Mining Company employs a large staff, at its own expense, to distribute the supplie«. This staff is augmented by volunteers. Although vigilant, the administra tive committee reports that it has preferred to extend relief to many doubtful cases rather than take chances with denying relief to needy ones. When the November report was made up, the association had cared for 2,100 caaes. It was estimated that by the end of this month approx imately 2,700 cases would be on the books. <
