HOW ONION SMUT IS SPREAD
Disease 10 Conveyed From Field to
Field on Farm ImpIements-One
Remedy Used by Growers.

During the last five years this dis
ease has spread rapidly, the smut prob
ably being conveyed from field to field
upon farm implements and with ma
nure containing smutted onion refuse,
as discarded onions are usually de-
posted upon manure piles. In some
sections the losses resulting from this
fungus have been 30 great that the
growers, in some cases, no longer find
the crop profitable.

1t appears reasonably certain that

eral large growers. In one instance

treated plot yielded only about 100
bushels of inferior onions to the acre.

Christmas All Year.
Edited By The womans Club

Christmas All Year.
A spirit of generosity pervades the
Yuletide atmosphere. 1t is known and
practiced at no other season of the
year as at Christmas. 1t is felt in
every city, in every town, in every
village, in the entire country.
People are prone to be more thought
full. Men manifest desires to spread
good cheer; women weave little acts
of love, kindness and devotion into
Christmas good will; children cherish
their companions and fortunes. Per-
sons unconsciously instill into each
other desire to distribute happiness
everywhere. 1t all comes on the
wings of that indefnable thing under
stood by few, but referred to by many
as the Christmas spirit. 1t is invisible,
but can be seen; it is not material, but
can be felt. 1t comes every Christ
mas, but too often leaves to return
perhaps next year, when the real holi-
day spirit again is felt.
Why does this fellowship of love and
good will depart from the souls of 80
many persons on the wings of time?
Why does not the same spirit remain
in the atmosphere after men again as
sumo their routine of work and women
become normal after their Christmas
cares and worries2
Would it not be good thing if this
same Christmas spirit could continue
throughout the twelve months of the
veal? Would it not be good thing
for mankind if all stopped to think of
others as they do during the Yuletide
season, if all endeavoreJ to fill the
lives of their friends, acquaintance
and the less fortunate with good cheer
and happiness throughout winter and
summer. spring and autumn?
Try this for next year. Make it one
of your resolutions, and if one resolve
to do all in his power to make others
happy throughout the entire twelve
months no other resolution will be
necessary to assure one of happiness.
After all is said and done the only real
happiness is derived from making
others happy.

THE SCHOOL BUDGET.

The school board has asked the city council
for pay roll for 1918 of S32S,2S2.3S. an in
crease over 1912 Of $3o,s2S.91.
In an article in The Richmond Viyginian of
yesterday Dr. Chandler tells exactly what this
sum Is needed for and why It is needed, going
into exhaustive details Briefly the additional
amount asked is for an extension Of the night
schools. for separate schools for delicate and re-
tarded pupils, to extend the usefulness of the
department of medical inspection for fifteen new
teachers needed on account of the growth in
tie school attendance for vacation schools. in.
creased pay for teachers, already authorized by
the council, vocational schools, physical educa-
tion and summer school for teachers.
Compared with the amount expended by other
cities 1926, 900 is not much for Richmond. The
request of the city school board is q modest one.
all things considered. and If Richmond af
ford the expenditure the city council should
not hesitate for monument, remembering that
there are few ways in which it spend money
to more effect and no way In which 1t could be
better spent
The cshool board realizes that everything can
not be done at once and it realizes that there
is limit to all expenditures and for that rea-
son has asked for nothing which is not press
ingly needed. The money asked will not enable
this city to establish vocational schools which
will compare favorably with those in many other
cities 1t will not suffice for a summer school
for teachers that will equal those of some cities
no larger than others. It will not increase
the pay Of the teachers to a sum equal that
paid them in many cities. Nevertheless, it viii
enable the school board to make a start and will
nable it TO continue work In other directions
which has already been started.
Richmond is not spending as much per capita
for educational purposes as some other cities
in this State It's schools are the equal OF any
In most respects, fact due to the excellent work
of the school authorities than to the amount
of money expended. The city has not been I'M
generous to its schools, but 1t can do more and
the fact that our schools have kept pace with
those Of other cities of the size of Richmond and
has passed some Of them In efficiency, TO our
mind, Is sound argument in favor of lncreas-
ing the appropriations II the school authori-
ties have done so well with less money than
some others they can make Richmond schools
the superior Of any In the country by a larger
expenditure.

lear AND jealousy.


Human nature Is fearfully and wonderfully
made and get on to all the kinks
of humanity. Wise men acknowledge their ig-
norance and surprised at little that their
fellows may de- or the few things they have
learned. one Is that even the best of men, work
ing for what they consider righteous causes, are
inclined TO be jealous and suspicious of those
working toward the same end and sometimes
to deny to them credit for their achievements
Religious denominations and even churches Of
the same denomination are jealous of each other
and societies within the chuches, charitable or
CARNATIONS and societies formed for what their
organizers fondly called purposes of uplift,"
all have their moments of suspicion and jeal-
ousy of other similar bodies of men and women,
and are disposed to sneer at their motives and
belittle their achievements
Consequently 1t is no surprise that the Bull
Moose New York Mol should be guilty of throw
ing bricks at Governor Wilson and his efforts at
reform In New Jersey, but there seems to be
no reason why It should give expression to a
fat falsehood, as 1t does when 1t makes the
