What Kansans can Their Towns.

The prevalence of names of Kansas
towns ending in "a" has doubtless i'm
pressed the travellers who have had
occasion to journey through that
State. To hear these towns men
toned in the Kansas vernacular, how
ever, affords the logical conclusion
that they were named with the idea
of giving unlimited liberty for the
substitution Of 'y'' for the final "a. :"
"Empory! Change cars for Eureky!"
has become quite official under the
rule that custom is the law of Ian
guage," and the Santa Fe brakemans
pronunciation has been accepted as
standard authority 1t is ''Empory"
and "Eureky," just as it is "Almy"
on the Rock Island, and "Saliny" on
the Union Pacific. The substitution
in these names has become as State
wide as "Topeky' in the vernacular
of the politicians. "Watheny" and
''Hiawathy'' at one time, also, an
swered with becoming pride to the
euphonic names of Wathena and Hia-
watha. The single exception in Kan
sas appears to be Ottawa. That clas-
sic city has escaped the tag Of "Ot-
tawy," but it escaped merely to be
known everywhere in Kansas at "Ct-
taway." So far as can be recalled
the only town that is given credit for
final "a" is Olathe-which can be
accounted for upon the ground, per-
haps, that it's name really ends in e. ;"

New York City.-Loyal sons of old

convention of good-fellowship and a
conclage of congeniality. Georgians
were present from almost every pol-
lion OF the state, from Rabun Gap to
brownsville; and it was a time when
fragrant memories Of the homeland
We're revived, when friendships were
more firmly cemented, and states
brotherhood was put upon stronger,
surer footing, and, above all else, it
was time when thoughts OF Georgia
were in every heart and a toast to
Georgia was on every pair of lips.
The occasion was the first social af-
fair Of the season of the Georgia So

Fashions in Finger Nails.

Fashions change, even in finger
nails, and the pointed nails OF a few
years ago are looked upon as almost
barbaric at present. 1t also seems
that women are becoming sensible in

ing is no longer the rule, as, OF course.
it never was practiced by women OF
fine taste. The pointed nail and the
high polish have passed out, and the
chances are historians in future days
will look back and rank them with
crinoline as evidence of crude and
discriminating age. In caring for
their finger nails women are now try
ing to follow nature instead of OPP
posing or distorting it. The natural

as possible, and the manicure is not

There is q show Of voting. a form

Congress is created somewhat after

human life and property were unsafe,

this stupendous task to Diaz more

A peculiar blight has appeared in
the white pine timber growth OF Now
England which is puzzling the ex-
perts of the various State Forestry
Departments and those Of the Nations
al Government. 1t Is doing great
deal of damage all over the North
east, but its cause has not yet been
determined, and to observe its de-
velopment more accurately expert
mental stations have been establish
ed at Brunswick, Me-. and Peterboro,
N. H., conducted much like the OBJ
servation wards Of hospitals
The disease first appeared four or
five years ago, but it was some time
before 1t was noticed to be peculiar
to white pine. 1t was first noticed
extensively at Concord, N. H., and
not until the summer of 1906 did 1t
begin to be reported from various
other parts of New England At first
only few trees would be affected

original seat Of the trouble, and soon
it began to be realized that the
blight must be contagious.
Early In the Spring OF 1907 the
blight became prevalent in all parts
of New England. Since then Its
ravages have been "cpHrted in New
York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
1t still fourishes most extensively,
however, in New England in what
Is called the White Pine Belt, run
ming through Southwestern Maine,
Southern New Hampshire, and North
ern Massachusetts,. 1t is commenc-
ing to spread also into Rhode Island
and Connecticut.
The blight is easily recognized by
the appearance of reddish-brown
tinge on the tips Of even the newest
needles The tips of the needles are
almost always affected first, though
in few instances the middle or
base Of the needles have turned
brown, leaving the tip green. A tree
attacked by the blight appears as

sprinkled with brown dye. The
needles of the white pine fall after
two years, so there are always con-
stantly at least two different kinds.
of foliage on a tree. It Is a peculiar
feature of the disease that in the ma
jority of cases the newest needles
are those affected first, the blight
not reaching the needles of the year
before until later. On a tree that
has been affected with the, blight for
more than a year the needles that
have already suffered are usually
dried up and withered and the new
foliage stunted, punched up, and UNI
developed.
Trees Of all sizes and ages, whether
standing in the open or In the woods,
are susceptible to the blight, with
two exceptions-big, full-crowned
trees, of diameter of eighteen in
ches or more, standing in the open,
and the interior trees of dense
growth Otherwise the health or To-
cation Of a tree or the character Of
the soil where 1t grows seems to
make no difference.
Whether tree, once attacked, ever
RECEIVERS from the blight, has not
yet been settled, but from the OBJ
servations made so far it would seem
that the blight is fatal. Usually a
tree dies in two years. Some, how
ever, drag along for several wears.

BACK TAX CONTROVERSY.
Question Of Ownership of Central of

Central of Georgia railroad over back
taxes and the ownership of $4,000
shares of stock in the Western Rail
way Of Alabama was taken with the
report to Comptroller General Wright
by the arbitrators of the value of this
stock from 1896 to 1905.
Attorney Alex W. Smith acted for
the railroad, while Fuller E. Galloway
of the railroad commission acted for
the state. The values fixed range
from $50 share in 1895 to $50 share
in 1905. The question of whether or
