TO SETTLE POLL TAX MIXUP
CONGRESSM VOTE TO HAVE WILSON'S REMARKS FAVORlNG FREE TOLLS, MAD THO YEARS AGO, REPRINTED AS PUBLIC RECORD.

WASHlNG1 ON, D. C., March l.
 ecided opposi on has man fested it. elf in the houe of representative gainst the policy of President Wilson 10 repeal the Panama canal regula-
 ons that provide free tolls for Amer can vessels not owned or controlled y competing railroad interes s.
 The house of representatives has ) ficially ordered the printing of the
 beech made two ears ago by Presi- lent Wilson, in hich the later eX- re- SC favor for the free tolls plan. t is hoped, evidently. by he Presi- ert's opponents to offset his argu- nents fayorin2 the repeal of he free olls provision b prin iHg his speech.
 President Wilson's policy of repeal lg the free-toIs regulation is sup )ortt by .paoy T. noc.et5, who as 3ert tha~ tha free tolls a.. beneficial )nly to the shipping trus of the
 nited States, and that they will not ecessarilv mean that the co 2sumers, or the public at large vii be bene- fited. It is argue by them hat the ompetition between vessels of every ation will be heneficial to commerce generally.
 One of the erea est motives for he repeal of the free tolls regu'a- ion. however, is declared to be the tlement of the international ques- ion of this country's right to give
 preference 70 American shipping the face of the international agree ment concerning the canal, signed at he Hague
 That England and some of the oth- er European countries will make a ecided remons rance if the free-toll revision is retaine1 is the assertion made here by officials suppor irg the One the other hand, opponents to President Wilson say that if the United States submits to the remon- strance of the European powers, our country will lose is dignity and it's right to control that which it has created with it's own funds. They
 clare that the United States should use her great psoject for the up building of the American merchant marine wherever possible, and that t is through that method only that he United States shippers can expect have a fair chance with the ship ping concerns of the foreign nations. which are subsidized at public ex- pense.
 There is evidence that the fight against the repeal of the free tolls plan will meet hearty approval in the senate by the factions that are opposed to President Wilson on gener- Il principles.

FOR STOMACH TROUBLE
John w. Skillen Of Sidney, Ohio,
Has Found a Remedy.

Experts declare that the reason
stomach disorders are so common In
this country is due to hasty and care
less habits OF eating. Stomach
troubles and rundown conditions
usually go together.
John w. Skillen or Sidney. Ohio,
says: Il had bad stomach trouble
for years, and became so weak that
I could hardly walk or do any work.
My appetite was poor, and 1t seemed
impossible to get any relief. Since
taking 'Vinol' find a remarkable i'm
provement in my health, my digestion
is much stronger, and l have gained
in weight. l would not be without
Ninol."
Vinol makes weak stomachs strong
because it strengthens and tones up
the weakened, tired and overtaxed
nerves of the digestive organs. Vinol
Is easily assimilated by the weakest
stomachs, and is delicious to the taste.
Try a bottle OF Vinol with the UNI
derstanding that your money will be
returned IL II does not help you.

Salve stops itching. We guarantee 1t.

SERIOUS BEAN DISEASES,
HOW TO CONTROL THEM
Caused a Garden and Field Loss
in Michigan Estimated at
$2,000,000.

Washington, ID. c., June 4th-The
blight and anthracnose of garden and
field beans caused loss i'm Michigan
alone estimated at 81, 0OO, 600 or 20 per
cent of the crop of 1913. This state
does not stand alone for similar condi-
tons obtain in other bean-growing Sec
tons. II is becoming more difficult
each year to secure bean seed free from
one or both of these diseases. In view
of these facts, it is highly important
that the diseases be more thoroughly
recognized and that the best available
methods of control, some of which
must be begun in the early cultivation
of the plants, be understood and put
into practice.
CAUSE OF BEAN ANTARACNOSE
Bean anthracnose is caused by fun
gus which attacks the stems, leaves,
pods and seeds of the plants. On the
stems and leaf veins it causes elongated
sunken, dark-red cankers, sometimes
killing young plants and often produc-
ing deformed yellowed leaves. Round
ed or irregular sunken spots with a
slightly raised rim are produced on the
pods. The spots usually have pink
centers surrounded by darker reddish
border In severe cases the pods may
be entirely covered by the sores and
produce no seed. In other cases the
fungus penetrates the pods and enters
the seed, causing dark, sunken specks
or spots. In these diseased seed as
well as in the refuse from diseased
plants the fungus is propagated from
season to season.
CAUSE OF BEAN BLIGHT
The bean blight differs from anthrax
nose in several ways. 1t is caused by
bacterial organism. On the leaves it
produces irregular, diseased areas
which at first have a watersoaked APP
pearance, later dry out and become
brown and brittle. The entire margin
Charlevoix county herald., 1914-06-06

or half of leaflet is often affected. On
the pods the disease starts as slightly
raised and watery pustules, which
later enlarge, become of irregular
shape and amber color with yellow
centers. Infected seed show yellow
diseased blotches or are entirely yell
lowed and shriveled.
NATURE OF LOSS
Both diseases cause serious losses in
the snap bean trade. Diseased pods
are unmarketable and must be sorted
out. If but few slightly spotted pods
are packed i'm a basket, the disease
may spread during shipment, causing
additional loss and necessitating extra
sorting before the beans can be sold to
the consumer. In the seed bean trade
all beans must be hand picked to get
out the discolored diseased seeds.
From IS to 80 per cent of diseased
beans are frequently sorted out, in
volving heavy loss of beans as well as
the cost of sorting Diseased beans
used for seed usually give a poor stand
and result in the production of badly
diseased crop.
CONTROL MEASURES.
1t has been conclusively demonstrate
ed that anthracnose can be avoided
by careful system of seed selection.
Save seed from perfectly healthy pods,
selected with great care for entire alb
sence of spotting. Carefully keep them
away from diseased pods, shell by
hand to avoid reinfection, and plant on
clean land. Pull and burn any plants
showing disease. BY planting the seed
thus secured enough disease-free seed
can be secured to plant the whole crop.
In absence of such disease-free seed
Q) secure for planting, seed having
the least possible amount of disease, as
shown by actual examination; (2) all
seed should be hand picked and no
seed showing the slightest discolora-
ton should be planted; (3) practice
crop rotation, never plant beans on
land where the same crop grew the
previous season; az do not cultivate
or walk through the bean field or pick
beans while wet with dew or rain. II
the disease is present it is then easily
spread from one part of the field to an
other.
The bean blight is more difficult to
control than anthracnose, but the same
methods will give the best results at
present available.
