NED BRACE TALKS ABOUT THE WAR
 CORRESPONDENT AND THE FAKE WAR. NEWS,

THE newspaper war correspondent O the present day can be. nothing
 more than a rumor monger.
 Look. for instance, at the fake stories sent out every day and every hour al. most for publication in extras of biz headlines. Another extra soon comes out saying that the news of the first extra was a mistake
 One hour one hears that banks have stopped payment. The next hour one hears that money is easy
 ;f :. 4.
 Only Friday afternoon the fake tele- grams had it that the German navy as a whole was destroyed in the North Sea. Saturday morning the British admiralty announces officially that there has been nc fight.
 These alleged news stories come out from correspondents who hear from a fishing smack that it's captain heard fir ing as he sailed into port.
 Some American naval vessels were at target practice off Sandy Hook Friday. That was made into a naval battle be- tween English and German cruisers. As a matter of fact both English and German ships over this side want to get home. Neither are looking for real fights. There will be no /real naval engage- ment in the North Sea for the present. Neither England nor Germany want to do more at present than pick off the dere- lict ships of the other. They want not to fight ship for ship. nor dreadnaught for dreadnaught. The prize is too high to risk it now.

Good Times Ahead

President James A. Farrell of the United States Steel corporation is, like Chairman E. H. Gary, an optim- ist. MT. Farrell is known in the com mercial world as very high authority on business conditions and especially on foreign trade. And he was never known to indulge in pessimistic talk or take any but cheerful view of the future of this country's industrial life.
 With the declaration of war by Great Britain," said MT. Farrell, in an interview in the Daily Iron Trade of Cleveland, "the situation is cleared in many respects, because greater protection is assured to owners of ves- sells in the transportation of ocean cargoes."
 MT. Farrell pointed out that prices on all iron and steel products are like ly to be affected, but he does not look for any unusual advance in prices rather recurrence to normal values more commensurate with the increased cost of production" He said that the sound fundamental conditions of the country pointed to an increase in do- mestic business. He felt that now was the occasion 'to get ready for good times"

pondents disgusted. had percolated back into Vienna. Not one of them had been permitted to get to the front or to see anything except the wounded brought into the hospitals They were not even allowed to talk with the wounded. They were not allowed to write anything except that given out by the censor.
 In. this war in Europe in which the great nations of the world are in volved-there is to be only one-sided news for the present
 Rumors may come thick and fast.] But each one must be taken with a grain of salt for the present.
 It will be weeks yet before bat tie royal of the naval fleets will be fought. There may. be none of great proportions
 There is too much involved for tho German and English navies to 20 out like prize fighters and combat.
 Five million dollar battle ships not to consider the men at stake-are not toys to be played with. And neith- CT the predominant men of England or Germany are boys.
 Before there be a battle royal I will venture there will be mediation and this American government will be the mediator. But before that comes about there will be battles of land and the chances are there will be- a more pow erful France and perhaps a German re- public.
 European monarchy is destined to fall with this crisis.

Outlook for September Business

There was considerable activity in business in July, but owing to the Eu- ropean war, there Is temporarily lull, H said J. J. Atwell of Chicago. "Optim ism prevails, however. There Is no ques- tion but that the war between the big powers will be of benefit to many com lnercial interests. The farmers will cer- tainly get high prices for their grain crops, and I suppose some way will be devised for keeping the price of cot ton up to reasonably high level
 T believe we will see great deal of prosperity in September and as the year approaches its close there will be a general boom."

The Band Concerts

The concert by Memolis band at Fair field this afternoon will be the last of this summers series unless the open air music fund is replenished.
 Tt will be greatly regretted by thou sands Of people if we are to have no more park concerts this summer" said prominent citizen, who has always contributed to the concert fund. There should be several more concerts in Cap itoi park, and the city commissioners might be induced to strain a point and make an additional appropriation. Last summer the city gave 5000: but this year only $500.
 The Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company might also see it's way clear to make an additional contribu- ton. Last year it gave $75O, and a like sum the year before This year it only contributed $250. If in addition to what mas already been given the city would contribute $250 and the street car people S2ou, s100 or $20o could be raised by popular subscription. Thus the concerts-at least two week-could be extended into Sem tembern

Boys Corn Clubs

While there has not been as much said about boys corn clubs this year as last, the enthusiasm among the youthful producers of corn has not waned, so far as l can learn,'' said an ex-farmer.
 Corn production in Alabama has about doubled within the past seven or eight years, and the boys clubs have done nc little to promote interest in intensive farming, especially in corn growing.
 Auburn comes in for large share oi praise for the agricultural progress of Alabama, and one of the best things the Alabama Polytechnic institute has accom- plished is in successfully applying science to husbandry in all it's branches. That was an admirable address which Presi- dent Tbaeh delivered the other day when the corn boys assembled at Auburn to attend weeks school of practical agri- culture. The benefit that will come from the lectures and the interchange of views W0l be far reaching"

TWO AMBASSADORS.

It must be gratifying to all good Americans to read the high tribute paid to our Ambassador at Berlin, ex- Judge Gerard, by the former British Ambassador, Sir William Edward Goschen. After speaking of the great assistance he had rendered under very trying circumstances, especially in arranging for the safety of stranded British subjects, the ex-Ambassador says:
 "He (Gerard) extricated many of these from extremely difficult situa- tions, at some personal risk to him self. His calmness and savior-faire and his firmness in dealing with the imperial authorities gave full assur- rance that the protection of British subjects and interests could not have been left in more efficient and able hands,"
 This statement is particularly in- teresting because of the Republican charge that the Wilson Administra-
  tion has filled the higher diplomatic posts with incompetent and untried men. As a matter of fact nearly all our present Ambassadors abroad are men of distinctly better type than those whom they succeeded. Mir. Gerard's immediate predecessor was 2 Republican with strong penchant for stock speculation. His diplomatic usefulness was ended when a firm of brokers sued him for something like $75.000 said to have been lost in an unsuccessful flyer. His case was not an unusual one under the old re- gime. American representatives a. broad have never done better work than those now serving this country. Philadelphia Record.

OPINIONS AS TO LABELLING
 FOODS UNDER FOOD AND DRUG

Washington, Sept. 29.-Interstate shipments of food products that are regarded as unfit for human consump- tion and have not been denatured will hereafter be seized by the Federal au- thorities, no matter what labels they may bear.
 In an opinion published in the last issue of the Service and Regulatory Announcements, the Bureau of Chcm- istry of the U. s. Department of Ag riculture holds that the label is TO ob- stacle against such products being used for food. Before they can be shipped, therefore, in interstate com merce they must be so denatured that they can only be used for technical purposes.
 Another opinion deals with prospec- tive violations of the law compelling all food products shipped in interstate commerce after September 8, 1914, to have the net weight stated on the ia- bel. The Department holds that the burden of proof rests upon persons guilty of such violations to show that the products in question were either prepared or imported prior to Sep tember 3. Persons who cannot prove this will be subject to the penalties prescribed by the Food and Drug Act.
 Opinions on the corrects branding of canned vegetables, poultry food, and cheeses are also announced Ac- cording to these, the use of sugar in canning does not justify the use of such terms as sweet corn, sugar corn. and sugar peas. These terms must be reversed for the varieties of the vegetables in question which are dis tinctly sweet and which are known as sugar corn or sugar peas in their natural state
 Opinions on the correct branding merce or otherwise subject to the Food and Drugs Act, all skinned or part skinned cheeses must be plainly branded skinned" or "part skimm- ed', in accordance with the facts, on the wrappr or container of each cheese. Where the cheese is of the size commonly sold uncut to one GUS toner the rind of the cheese itself must bear the statement.
 In regard to poultry foods, the Blu reau holds that certain amount of cacium carbonate or calcium phos- phate is to be considered as poultry food, and that when this amount is not excessive, no statement in regard to the quantity of grit is demanded by the Federal law.

EE-CORNERED ALFAL-
 FA HOPPER A MENACE
Growers Advised to Control the Pest by Clearing Their Fields of Rub-
 bish, Weeds, and Brush.

Washington, D. C., Sept 2S.-Dur- ing the present month several com plaints have been received from the alfalfa growing sections of southern Virginia, of serious injury to alfalfa by an insect depredator which girdles the stems of the plant. These injuries have proved to be the work of the three-cornered alfalfa hopper. This is small, yellowish-green insect which obtains it's food by sucking the sap of the plants attacked and there fore cannot be poisoned with arsenical sprays. It punctures the stems of the affected plant in such a manner as to cause it to become yellow, die off above the girdled area.
 The adult insects pass the winter in a more or less dormant condition, un- der punches of wild grass, dead leaves brush, weeds, etc, in the latitude of southern Virginia, but may remain ac- tive most of the winter in the extreme southern portion of the affected ter ritory. The eggs are deposited in the stems of the plants behind leaf sheaths and sometimes at the surface of the soil, during the first warm days of spring, in southern Virginia, but as early as February in Arizona, and southern California.
 The life cycle from egg to adult occupies roughly speaking from 50 to 60 days. Thus in the latitude of southern Virginia there are probably two annual broods, but in southern Arizona and California as many as four broods may occur. The territory mainly affected by the insect may be roughly indicated as all that portion of the country south of the latitude 35 degrees, although the insect occurs throughout almost the entire country excepting the Rocky Mountains and Cascade range plateaus. It feeds upon many plants, chiefly those of the bean family, but is mainly injur- ious to alfalfa, clover and cowpea.
 The chief means of controlling the three-cornered alfalfa hopper is by destroying its hibernating places. Thus, all punches of rye and other wild grasses, weeds, brush, rubbish etc, in or about affected fields, in fence corners, along ditch banks should be burned or otherwise des- troyed during the fall or winter months, after the insects have ceased feeding and have become dormant Pasturing affected fields, where prac- ticable, has been found beneficial Harvesting affected alfalfa immedi- ately after egg-laying has occurred will also prabably prove somewhat ef- fective.
 The local outbreak in Virginia is probably due to the peculiar meteor ological conditions prevailing during the past year. A mild, short winter was followed by an unusually hot, dry summer, both of which conditions favored the extreme multiplication of the species. A publication dealing in detail with the economic and biologi- cal aspects of the three-cornered al- falfa hopper is being prepared by the United States Department of Az riculture, and will be published at an early date.
