Chrysanthemums are like many of
our most attractive plants, subject to
insect pests. You must be on the
outlook for these pests in order to
combat them before they do any real
damage. About the middle Of July
they are often attacked by small
black flies that. before you are aware
of it. almost cover the plants. They
can easily be washed off with
strong spray of water, applied either
with the aid of the garden hose or
syringe. OF course they will return.
Large growers resort to tobacco dust.
which is sprinkled on the plants in
generous portions while the foliage Is
still damp.
Another pest that attacks these
plants with the cool nights in early
fall is what is known as leaf spot"
That is a fungus and if not checked
at once will permanently injure the
health of the plant. AS soon as you
see the first signs Of it. carefully pick
off each leaf affected, to prevent the
spread of the disease, then sprinkle
the young plant with flower Of sui

BARBED WIRE IN WAR
Terrible EntansIements Difficult to
Deal With.

A New York journal of recent date
says that the Russian military au-
thorities are tying to place in the
United States an order for five
thousand tons of barbed wire.
They have every reason to be sat
isfed with the use made of this ma
terial at Port Arthur. Their en-
tanglements there were of the most
formidable character. and consisted
as a rule, of four parallel lines of B.
strand fences. ten feet apart. with
three more strands running back and
forth in ZigZags from line to line,
Between these barriers, quantities OF
wire had been thrown loose on the
ground in big snarls to entangle the
52ct and legs.
Getting through or over these OBJ
stacles under heavy rifle and shrap-
mel fire, proved to be almost impOs-
sible. The Japanese first tried our
method in Cuba. by equipping their
storming parties with wire-cutting
nippers. This scheme failed. The
men were all killed or disabled be-
fore they got half way through. Then
they organized volunteer sure death
parties" and sent them. one after
another. to clear the way before the
assault began. A Japanese captain

WELL DONE SAYS WILSON
President Wilson Writes Mr.. Under
wood Letter About Congress.

President Wilson made public on
last Monday, a letter TO Majority
Leader Underwood of the house, in
which he reviewed the achievements
of his administration, outlined the
programme for the next session of
congress, and declared "the Demo-
cratic party is now in fact the only
instrument ready to the country's
hand by which anything can be ac-
complished.
The president wrote the letter as
an endorsement of all Democratic
members of congress in lieu of
speeches he said he would like to
make in every congressional district
He predicted victory for his party in
the elections because "eveIy thought
tul man sees that change of parties
just now would set the clock back, not
forward" and because "a practical
nation is not likely to reject such a
team. full of the spirit of public SER
vice. and substitute, in the midst of
great tasks, either a party upon which
a deep decentralization has fallen, or
party which has not grown to stat

would assemble his company and say
to them:
II want volunteers for sure death
party to cut barbed wire entangle-
ments. Every man who goes must
expect to die. 1t will be his duty to
imagine that any Of you are ever
coming back. The enemy doesn't let
us pick up our wounded. and nobody
will come back. But through the
opening that you will make in those
fences before you die your comrades
will storm the fort. Who will go?"
The whole company would volun-
F, teer
This proved to be too costly in life.
Next they tried equipping the storm
ing party with mattresses which when
thrown on the barriers, enabled the
troops to scramble over without get
ting caught in the barbs. This also
was unsatisfactory, because the men
got hopelessly tangled up in the loose
snarls between the lines.
Finally, when the slopes in front
Of the forts were covered with the
bodies of their dead, they began
sending up at night long lines Of men
with trailing ropes tied around their
waists When a Russian searchlight
was turned on that part Of the field
the crowling men lay still, and could
not be distinguished from the hun
dreds of other bodies that were still
forever. When the beam moved on.
they crawled a few yards upward.
Moving in the intervals of darkness,
they finally reached the fences made
the ropes fast to the posts, and
wriggled back to shelter. A hundred
men or more then hauled on the
ropes and pulled a whole section of
the barrier down into the front paral-
lei.
Thus an end was put at last to the
terror Of the barbed-wire entangle-
ment.
This form of obstacle has already
been used by both Russians and Ger
mans in the present war, and there Is
no doubt that in places where it can
be adequately protected by rifle,
shrapnel, or machine gun fire, it pre-
sents an almost insurity, although 1t
may be smashed by well-placed ar
tillery.-The outlook.

The Monument is the sole product
of man which is expected to exist,
without change or repair, for all
Lime-beyond the memory that we
cherish in our hearts, which is only
as long as the span Of life. 1t may
help to form record. but it is erect
ed as a tribute of love to those who
have passed Ito that bourne from
whence no traveller ever returns" AS
such, let it be a thing of beauty, not
dark and somber, but bright and
cheerful not typifying earthly sor-
row, but symboliZing undying love.
md as architecture is brought to us
from the past by the tombs Of the
ancients. so let us pass on to those
in our steps, some worthy expression
of our conception of beauty.
