CHRISTMAS CAMPAIGN ON.

The Red Cross Christmas Seal cam
paign Is on. Everywhere throughout
the United States these little messen-
gers of health are being sold. There
never was time in the history OF
the country when so many people CO.
operated in one particular campaign
as in this fight against tuberculosis.
Since 1t has been learned that tuber-
culosis is not inherited but infectious
we know it is preVentable and the
great cry now Is "if preventable why
not PREVENT" Red Cross Christmas
Seals do more to create sentiment in
favor Of the warfare against tubercu-
losis than any other one compaign.
First, and most obvious and most
important, the Christmas Seal Is a
means of raising money for the cam
paign against tuberculosis.
Second, the Christmas Seal ID a
means for awakening interest so
great that numbers of all kinds OF
people are led to talk and read tuber-
culosis.
Third, the Christmas Seal provides
an opportunity for anyone and every
one. almost without limitation Of cir
cumstance or conditions, to render
several helps in the fight against tu-
berculosis.
Fourth, the Christmas Seal creates
the possibility Of spreading an enor-
nous account of actual information
in such a manner as to largely In
crease the general knowledge about
tuberculosis.
Fifth, The Christmas Seal, through
the extensive campaign of few
weeks enlists large numbers Of indi-
viduals and groups and give some
thing Of time, thought and effort for
the common good in the warfare
against tuberculosis.
Sixth, the Christmas Seal therefore
wives to increasing numbers Of people
sense of great common interest,
an opportunity for aiding financially
and the chance Of actively helping q
warfare movement whiOS II OF inter
est to the entire comm pity, the
whole state and the nation as well.
Tennessee this year conducts the
first state campaign with the Red
Cross Christmas Seals. This move
ment is backed by the most promi
nent people in the stae. Two glaring
facts that should stimulate every

THE POTATO STALK BORER.

A pest of increasing Importance in
this state is the Potato Stalk Borer.
Among many letters on this subject
by State Zoologist, Prof. H. A. Sur
face, the following is a reply to a
prominent potato grower in Cumber-
land county, in which the known
methods for the suppression of this
pest are given in detail:
This potato stalk which you sent
to us is infected with the Potato
Stalk Borer. This is the larva or
grub of the little black snout beetle
1t has been a very serious pest in po-
tatoes in the eastern, southern and
southeastern parts of this state, and
appears to be spreading.
When the stalk is once infected
with the pest, it is really impossible
to do anything for it, for the reason
that the insect feeds inside the stalk,
where spray liquid can not reach it.
Therefore, preventive means consists
chiefly of cultural methods, and these
must be adopted. In the first place,

A CERTAIN RICH MAN.

He is one of the three richest men
in America, or one of the four rich
est; and he isn't Mr.. Rockefeller,
Mr.. Carnegie or Mr.. Morgan. His
first wife divorced him under the
laws of the state of New York and
the court forbade his marriage-at
least within a certain term of years.
But there are other states, and the
rich man may lawfully take a second
wife by getting beyond New York
Jurisdiction. 1t is precisely at this
point that our divorce laws develop
one of the gravest scandals in the So
cial life OF this country. A divorced
person, even when that person was
the guilty party, may do with impun-
ity in neighboring state what he is
forbidden to do in his own state.
Then he may safely return to his
home, grinning at his own effrontery
in bamboozling justice.
In this situation, which is by no
means novel, it is gratifying to read
the following editorial in the New
York Evening Post:-
The coming marriage of a divorced
millionaire who has been forbidden
to remarry by the courts of this state
VIII serve a useful purpose in invig-
Grating the campaign for uniform di-
vorce laws. . In this particular
instance, the divorced man is a resi-
dent of this state, in which he has
large financial interests. After his
remarriage he will doubtless live in
this city, under the eyes of the court
which forbade him to remarry with
in the boundaries of New York. To
the eye OF common sense, this looks
like contempt of court. 1t seems as
II there were something that ought to
be done, even if our lax divorce laws
make it possible for him to remarry
legally elsewhere. 1t would seem
to be only proper that such a defer
of the courts should at least be COM
PEELED to live outside of the state of
New York If he will not respect JUS
tice within it.
To dwell moment on the social
aspect OF this coming marriage is
tempting. The rich man is the head
OF family which has long been SUI
preme in the fashionable society OF
New York. His honored mothers
invitations to her annual ball spoke
the last word concerning the social
ambitions and conflicts of her time,
1t Will naturally be the sons aim to
force recognition of his second wife
by society as it's unquestioned leader
A statement credited tor two promi-
nent society women at Newport in
Inmates that, with the unlimited re-
sources for entertainment which will
be massed behind wife No. 2, she
Will have an easy time, probably, in
asserting her social premiership. Nc
doubt, it is hopeless to look for eff.
fective resistance from that quarter
enfeebled and corrupted by the most
sordid ideals, society would dare risk
nothing in opposition to 100000.

one should rotate his crops, and not
plant potatoes twice in succession
on the same soil, and if the pests are
very near the place where potatoes
grew during previous year. This
is one of the most important means
OF preventing other pests, such as
Scab and Potato Beetles, as we'll as
the Stalk Borer.
AS soon as evidence of the Stalk
Borer is seen, which is generally
made manifest by the yellowing or
whiting of the vine, the vines so in
tested should be pulled and burned.
This, of course, does not help them
Tor this year, but it prevents the
spread OF the pest for another year,
and this is the chief purpose or OBJ
Ject in such pest suppression.
A grower can detect the presence
of the Stalk Borer by splitting the
vines and finding the grubs at work
within If the stalk or vine has been
bored out or eaten out by insects, he
may be pretty sure that this pest is
the one that was responsible. 1t is
very important that all vines in the
same field or patch where any were
so attacked should be raked together
and burned as soon as possible after
detecting. This is to destroy the in
sects which remain within them, and
is one of the best means of helping
to get the Stalk Borer under COM
plete control. Little else than this
can be recommended, besides close
cooperation of all people in the
neighborhood who grow potatoes.
This article will be published in
the newspapers as you request, for
the sake of giving this information
to others who need it, as we'll as to
call the attention of the public to the
very extreme Importance of the CO.
operation of growers of any and all
kinds of vegetation, to the suppress
sion, of pests by such cultural
means, and thus prevent such losses
from them as have been experienced
from this and the Hessian Fly and
other pests during recent months"

AUTOMOBILE HITS WILCOX RIG

Wednesday evening as R. B. Will
cox, of Pleasant Mount, was driving
down Main street with five passen-
gers from the fair his team was
run into by an automobile, No.
36001 Pa. The driver said he was
on his side of the bridge, (the ac-
cident happening on the State
bridge) when the auto rounded the
corner at Peil's drugstore. The
team reared in the air and as the
horses came down the automobile
was underneath them. One of the
horses legs was doubled up on the
machine and until the auto was ex-
tricated from underneath the horses
it was fearful the animals leg was
broken. The team jumped in the air
second time and then fell upon
the bridge. The nigh horse was bad
ly cut on both it's front and hind
legs and the off horse received a cut
in the head and was otherwise bad
ly bruised. Mr.. Wilcox places his
damages at $55; $50 on the team
and IS on the wagon and harness.
The nigh horse, aged six years, is
in training and Mr.. Wilcox claims
it has a good record, too. The pas
sengers jumped from the convey
ance uninjured, excepting that they
experienced a fright which they did
not care to have repeated. The auto
mobile was more or less damaged in
the collision.

partment of Agriculture requesting
to know whether there was any
known method by means of which
the size of his apples might be in
creased. Prof. Surface answered by
giving the following recommends
tions:
To increase the size of apples,
| beg to say that there is nothing
better than to water the soil abund-
antly, afer having scattered one
pound or two of nitrate of soda
around the trees, little farther than
the branches extend. If the ground
is sloping, it is well to make a bank
around the lower side of the tree to
hold the water. This should extend
over an area nearly as far as the
branches reach. If you can find it
possible to soak several barrels into
the ground at each tree, it will not
only stop the dropping of the fruit,
but will make it of much larger size.
ALSO, the immediate thinning off
of all damaged and inferior fruits
will make larger and better fruits of
those that remain on the trees, and
will have tendency to stop drop
ping.
The dry weather has been un-
usually severe on practically all
farm crops, and also on fruits. There
never has been season when good,
thorough drainage and cultivation in
an orchard has told such a story as
this year. Fruits are staying on the
trees where cultivated; those not cul-
tivated are falling quite prematurely.
By thinning one is able to get
rid of the pests such as the Cooling
Moth, Railroad Maggot and Cur
culio, if he will destroy by promptly
feeding to pigs, burning or deeply
burying, those which he takes off,"

causing considerable excitement and
anxiety among members of the Rief-
Ter family in Honesdale. 1t was re-
ported that the residence of William

as the Bee Hive. The fire originat-
ed in the apartment occupied by
Nicholas Hermann, but was soon ex-
tinguished. The damage was light.

FOR GRUBS BORING IN SHADE
TREES,

A banker in Clearfield, Pa, finds
that some pest is boring into his su-
gar maple trees, and writes to State
Zoologist Surface for information as
to the proper treatment.
The reply of Prof. Surface was as
follows:
The best thing to do for sugar
maple trees that have been attacked
by grubs boring into them, is to find
the holes, if possible, and with a
spring bottom oil can, inject into
each the liquid known as carbon BIZ
sulfide. Then close the hole with
clay or mud. Also, cut off and burn
the dying branches, and invigorate
the trees by scattering around them
nitrate of soda, varying the amount
from one ounce to one and one-half
pounds for each, depending upon the
size of the tree. Scatter this broad
cast from the trunk to distance
farther than the branches extend
Then water the ground well, seeing
to it that enough water is used to
soak we'll into the soil. Then spread
mulch of leaves, strawy manure
or straw over the ground, or keep
it we'll and thoroughly cultivated, so
that there will be a loose soil mulch
over it.
This is the best treatment for
any declining tree, whether its poor
condition is due to diseases, insects,
or inorganic causes. The general
principle is, as far as possible, to
remove the cause of the injury, stim-
ulate the tree by pruning back, and
by fertilizing with a quickly-acting
fertilizer, like nitrate of soda, and by
watering, followed by mulching or
cultivation. Little else than this can
be DONE"
