POTATO TUBER PEST IS
SAID TO BE SPREADING
Department Of Agriculture Suggests
Remedy to Combat Devas-
tating Moth.

The potato-tuber moth. for many years
known as an enemy TO tobacco In Vir-
ginia. the Carolinas and Florida and the
worst potato pest in California, can be
successfully combated by clean methods
of cultivation and crop rotation. according
to farmers bulletin No. 557. which has
just been issued by the Department of
Agriculture Only last year the scientists
discovered how rapidly this devastating
pest is spreading. 1t has now reached
the states Of Washington and Texas and
menaces adjacent states. As an enemy OF
eggplant and of ground cherry 1t has been
observed as far north as the District
of Columbia.
This new bulletin recommends clean
methods of cultivation as the first meas
ure for destroying the potato-tuber' moth.
This implies that all infested potato
and such weeds as the ground cherry.
bull nettles and horse nettles. growing in
the vicinity of the potatoes. must be de-
stroyed. This can be done by prompt
burning as soon as 1t Is evident that the
insect has attacked the plants.
Animals Can Clear Fields.
Domestic animals, such as sheep and
hogs. are also valuable for the destruc-
ton OF such insects as might remain In
old tubers and weeds. They may be utii-
lied by merely turning them into the
field.
AS in most other cases Of insect injury,
crop rotation Is desirable. where possible,
and the cooperation Of all potato grow
ers Of the neighborhood is practically a
necessity. There are several alternate
food crops which do not suffer material
ly from this insect.
Among the best of these are such crops
as beans. peas, cowpeas alfalfa and
clover. These possess a double value. be-
cause they all act as soil restorers as
well. Sugar beets, celery and crucifers
are also good as alternate food crops
Grains may serve In the same way, as
they are not attacked by the tuber moth.

FIVE PER CENT CLAUSE
PRAISED BY UNDERWOOD
SAYS II Should Rehabi|itate
the American Merchant
Marine.

Representative Underwood denfends the
per cent clause OF the tariff law giving
a discount to imports in American ships
by declaring IL merely return TO the
original democratic doctrine. of Madison
and Jefferson and would rehabilitate the
American merchant marine
1T am not uniting trade war" said
Mr.. Underwood, "but the President has
the right to cancel any trade agreements
that we have that may conflict with this
provision. The 8 per cent clause Is not
nearly SO drastic as the inaximum-mini-
mum provision of the Payne-Aldrich Law.
I don't believe In subsidies. The shipper
OF the merchandise under this arrange
ment would get the per cent reduction
and the ship owner would benefit by the
increase Of business. both of which OBJ
jects are desirable"
Wilson Holds Same Views.
Mr.. Underwood declared that before the
bill became law he had acquainted
President Wilson with those views and
that since the signing Of the measure the
President had not inquired of him about
the subject Mr.. Underwood said he
was not speaking for the President
Mr.. Underwood expressed the opinion
that there would be no trade war mas
much as many foreign countries he'd dis
eliminated in favor of their own ship
ping.

Wiser held practically the same view

A Pittsburg Bank

The suspension of the First Second
National bank of Pittsburg yesterday
was no surprise, it seems, to business
men conversant with the situation. As
one financier put it, two water-logged
banks had consolidated and there
never was chance for the hyphenated
institution to pull through. 1t should
have been closed some time ago.
While all the depositors of the First
Second National of Pittsburg will
be paid in full the suspension brings
to mind and should emphasize the sug-
gestion which has been made by
thoughtful bankers, that fund should
be created by a small tax which would
assure prompt payment to each de-
positor of closed national bank of
so per cent of the amount on deposit.
This would be great relief and would
make it comparatively easy for all
depositors to wait for the affairs of
the institution to be would up, when
the balance due depositors would be
available.
The First-Second National of Pitts
burg was large bank and its closing
will naturally be felt temporarily in
that city. But in great community
like Pittsburg the effect will soon be
forgot. The suspension of the bank
has no relation whatever to the gen.
eral business situation and that being
so the announcement on the new York
stock exchange yesterday was practi-
cally of negligible interest.

IDLING IN SUMMER

From Dream Life, by Donald G. Mitchell
l thank heaven every summers day of
my life that MY lot was humbly cast with
In the hearing of romping brooks and be-
meath the shadow of oaks. And from all
the tramp ard hustle of the world. into
which fortune has led me In these latter
years of my life I delight to steal away
for days and for weeks together, and
bathe my spirit in the freedom of the old
woods and to grow young again. lying
upon the brooxside and counting the white
clouds that sail along the sky, softly and
tranquilly-even as holy memories go
stealing over the vault of life. [
like to steep my soul in a sea of quiet,
with nothing floating past me as l lie
moored to my thought, but the perfume
of flowers and soaring birds, and shadows
of clouds.
Two days since / was sweltering in the
heat of the city jostled by the thousand
eager workers and painting under the
shadow of the walls. But I have stolen
away. and for two hours of healthful re-
growth into the darling past, have been
lying this blessed summers morning,
upon the grassy stream that babbled me
to sleep in boyhood. Dear, old stream,
unohanging, unfaltering-wit no harsher
notes now than then--never growing old
smiling in your silver rustic. and calming
yourself in the broad. placid poois--I love
you. as | love friend.

The Tutwiler Hotel company is most
fortunate indeed in securing as lessees
for its magnificent building, the United
Hotels company, of which Frank A. Dud-
ley Of Niagara Falls is president, and
Freedrick W. Rockwell of Albany is gen-
efal manager" said M. Webb Offutt, as
sistant general manager of the Alabama
Power company.

their hotels-the Ten EyclS at Albany and
their hotels in Rochester, Syracuse and
Waterbury, Conn. Each of those hotels
is as large as the Tutwiler and one could
not imagine more elegant hostelries Than
the United Hotels company conducts.
Tt is safe to say that If the whole coun-
try had been searched no such satisfac-
tory lessees could have been found. The

truer than that all signs fail in dry
weather.
The sky was red--fiery red-Sun-
day morning. People who pay atten-
tion to weather signs were careful to
provide themselves with umbrellas in
the afternoon, thinking there would
be thunderstorm. But the evening
was clear with nothing that indicated
disturbance of the elements. There
was no cooling change in the temper
ature until Mondays strong breezes
came.
Many persons who have been pin

AS to Weather Signs

Certain familiar signs observed in
the sky are said never to fail. A red
sky in the morning brings storm and
rain. A red sky at night is followed
the next day by fair weather.
The red sky sign was known to the
ancients and was regarded by them
as absolutely sure. Christ, in one of
His impressive lessons, referred to
the red Sky in the morning and the
red sky at night as being signs famil-
lar to the people. Everybody, old and
young, knows the jingle, Red in the

Schubert's Modesty

had he been more inclined to at least
admit his superlative genius without
trying to prove it.
"At recent auction sale in Berlin
one of the most coveted articles was a
letter from Schubert to his brother. Fer.
dinand, relating to his auartets. Today
it is admitted by all competent judges
that the Schubert quartets are in the
very front line of chamber music unsur-
passed by any one. But here Is what
Schubert wrote when he heard that his
quartets were being produced by Ferdi.

Activity in Birmingham

Birmingham and the Birmingham
district present scenes of steady prog
ress and healthy business activity.
Building operations were. exceptionally
brisk the first half of the year and
will continue brisk throughout the
second half. There is vast deal of
large construction work under way
in the city and district.
The magnificent Tutwiler hotel,
which represents an investment of
81 ,250, 900, is being rushed to compile
ton. Model apartment houses, large
mercantile buildings and countless
residences are being erected here at
this time. At Fairfield 100000 is be-
ing expended ON the $3,500,O00 wire
mill to put it in operating order.
Scores of houses are being built in
the model town of Fairfield for the
skilled workmen that will be employed
at the great mill and other plants sub
sidiary to the Steel corporation.
There is scarcely mining town in
the district where betterment work on
large scale is not being done. Within
the past IL months millions of dollars
have been expended on improvements
in the Birmingham industrial field and
large expenditures will be made with
in the next IL months.
Another noteworthy fact about Bir-
mingham as business center at this
time us that its pay rolls keep right
up to the top notch. Certain it is that
never in the history of this city was
the business situation SO roseate as it
is today.

From the st. Louis Times.
Right thinking people everywhere viii
regret that publicity has been given the
fact that Col. Theodore Roosevelt has
been given a permit in New York to
carry a pistol.
1t is easy to complain of the things
that the former President does, because
he has manifested something little
short of genius in cerating resentment
in the public mind against many of his
headstrong, not to say brutal, ways. But
it is far easier to make a point in favor
of the sane practice of refusing to car
ry gun
There are good people in every COM
munity who are simply bewildered by
that law in human nature which
prompts men to carry death dealing
weapons with them. 1t is shockingly
clear that most of the tragedies which
occur are a result of the lax habit of
carrying arms. 81 drew my gun is a
phrase that occurs in every murder
trial-as if a gun were part of a gem

A man who Is still named as a proper
model" for so many American boys
and young men might easily have been
heard from in more becoming light
tha mas a man specially permitted to
carry armss
We prefer to think of that type of
men represented by Judge Massie of
Virginia, who forfeited his life during
the trial of the Aliens, lawless noun
taineers.
The judge was warned that the Aliens
were likely to precipitate a riot, and
he was advised to arm himself against
possible danger
His response was that rather than
manifest a fear of lawless men, and
rather than believe that a gentleman
need carry arms in the carrying out of
any duty, he would present himself un-
| armed when his court convened.
So he did. and died. But the world
will remember him, not as foolish
man, but as gentleman who knew
what the very essence of dignity is.
