COTTON MUST BE HELD
Congressional Committee Gives Advice
as to Situation.


Washington, August Tn an ad-
dress to the cotton growers and people
of the cotton growing state made pub
lie tonight, the congressional commit
tee which volunteered several days ago
to seek measures which would prevent
serious consequences to the south be-
cause of the European war, declared:
"Our message to you is-Stand firm.
Sell cotton only as last necessity"
Members of the committee, headed
by Senator Hoke Smith Of Georgia, att
er a careful investigation of conditions
up to the present time, gave it as their
mature Judgment that the least possi-
BILE cotton should be put on the mar
ket during the next sixty days, assert
ing that the agencies of the Federal
government, both executive and legis-
lative, were doing all possible to re-
lieve the strain of the situation caused
by the lack Of transportation facilities
and the danger Of facing no market
abroad They called for unselfish CO.
operation among the farmers, mer-
chants and bankers of the south for
the common good, and declared:
Not In Midst Of Panic.
1T should be understood that we are
not in the midst of a panic, nor is
financial panic possible under our new
banking and currency laws; and it is
not necessary for us to throw our cot
ton upon the market at prices less than
its real value"
The statement of the congressional
committee follows:
I'VE recognize the fact that cotton is
the money crop Of the southern people
and any situation which vitally effects
it, value must be felt by all lines OF
commercial and industrial activities.
while the condition of war in Eu-
rope gives rise to a situation which is
serious, we believe that it can be great
ly overcome if all agencies, national
and local, promptly and vigorously re-
spond to their respective duties.
Your president, the several eXecu-
tive branches of the government, and
your senators and representatives are
exerting every effort to devise means
by which the cotton crop may be mar
keted at price warranted by nor
NAL law Of supply and demand, and
not by condition caused by the Eu-
rOpean war.

Fire Makes 20 Families Homeless.

Akron.-Twenty families were made
homeless, one factory was totally
destroyed, six houses were par
TALLY burned an a score of others
were threatened with destruction here
when fire swept through North
High-st.
The plant of the Davies Manufac-
turing Co., 81 North High-st, where
the blaze startedJ was reduced to
ashes. The total loss of the con-
fagration probably will reach $4,000.
The burned houses were owned by
Joseph Azar, 55 North High-st. They
were occupied by Italians, Syrians and
negroes. The AZar home, standing
next to the Davies Manufacturing Co.,
is a total loss. Three families occu.
pied the house with the Azars.

Paramount of all the insects caus-
ing loss to the horticulturists and
nurserymen is small scale insect no
larger when mature, than the head OF
a common pin. This insect is the San
Jose scale pronounced San Ho-zay),
Aspidiotus perniciosus. No insect
pest has received more attention and
has had more written concerning 1t.
Nearly every experiment station in
the land has published one or more
bulletins as to its life history and
ravages, and remedies for its control.
Newspapers, journals and maga-
zines have issued volumes calling the
attention of fruit growers to the ef-
fects Of this scale pest and encour-
aging legislation for it's control.
Those who have needed this admoni-
ton of the entomologists and fol-
lowed their recommendations have
satisfied themselves that in spite of
the enormous damage done by this
scale, there are methods which, If
properly pursued, will reduce injury
to the minimum. The careless, un-
needing grower who has scale-infested
stock and has done nothing by way Of
controlling the pest suffers heavy
losses and eventually is compelled to
go out of business (be he horticul-
turist or nurseryman) or is advised
to start anew.
Perhaps the worst feature of an at
tack of San Jose scale is the difficulty
Of recognizing the insect, due to it's
size and color; it is about 1-16 of an
inch In diameter when mature, and
in color 1t resembles the bark of tree

The uninitiated instinctively shud-
der as they gaze down the perpendicu-
lar depth at the tiny yawl bobbing up
and down with every wave that strikes
the ship. From the lower deck to the
waterline is perhaps twenty-five feet,
varying with the proportions of the
vessel, but l venture the assertion
from personal experience that the dis
tance negotiated between the deck
and the yawl was no less than twenty
five hundred feet.
The crew, having lowered the pilots
travelling bag and mail sack, gently
urge me to follow down the ladder:
l cautiously lift myself over the side
and, gripping the ladder until the nails,
meeting the palm, dig into the flesh,
attempt to place my foot on the first
rope rung. Slowly, calculating each
step and tenaciously clinging to the
ladder, which sways with each motion
Of my body, l gradually reach the
bottom rung. A false movement might
precipitate the novice into the water
below. Timing myself, I drop into the
yawl as 1t rises on a wave, and in
twinkling the boys are pulling with
long sweep oars for the pilot boat, two
hundred yards away.
There Is a peculiar sense OF RELIEF
in feeling solid deck beneath ones
feet again. The yawl is hoisted to
the boats deck, ready to put a pilot
aboard an incoming ship or receive
one from an outging craft. The pilot
feet has four Of these boats patroling
the entrance to the port Of New York
and one held in reserve. They are
the Ambrose Snow No. 2, the Trenton
No. 4 and the Washington No. 5, sail
ing vessels, and the steamers New
York and New Jersey. This feet is on
duty "a hours a day for 1865 days a
year. A total complement of Is pilots
is maintained on each Of the steamers
ready for instant duty at any hour.
Through the long days and nights
these men sweep the horizon for ships
requiring their services.
Twenty years ago there were two
companies Of pilots, the Sandy Hook
Pilots and the New Jersey Pilots as
sociation, each operating independent
Iy In those days only sailing vessels
were used and competition was keen
between the two companies. Each was
eager to put it's pilot aboard an incom'
ing craft and receive the pilotage fee
Frequently these pilot ships cruised
500 miles to sea to beat their rivals. 1t
is not to be wondered that the men
have developed vigilance, overlooking
nothing within range of vision.

WHAT LEGISLATORS ARE Do
ING AND OTHER HAPPENINGS
Parade to Show Roads.

How road building and locomo-
tion have progressed in Ohio will
be portrayed in elaborate pageants
every day during the Ohio state
fair. August 80 to September 4. The
pageants will constitute an innovation
in Ohio fairs and are expected to
draw large crowds. Real Indians are
to be used to represent the aboriginal
means of transportation. But there
will be a really further barking back
for an effort will be made to depict in
some form the mound builders, whom
nobody knows very much about and
whose portrayal will necessitate the
free use of the imagination. Anyway
the pageants will be interesting and
pretentious things, and they will con-
trast among many other things the
tedious cutting of pathways through
dense thickets to the modern smosfh
roadway, and they will demonstrate at
one glance the tremendous step from
the old prairie pack trains to the mod.
ern high powered automobiles.
Autoists Dodslng Tax.
Many festive automobiles in Ohio
are attempting to dodge taxes and
county taxing officials are begin
ming to get busy in ferreting them
out. In some counties, it Is es-
timated, that hardly half of the total
number of autos have been returned
voluntarily by their owners, and be-
cause the discrepancy can be easily
determined the taxing authorities pur-
pose to get back at the evaders. Every
auto in the state bears a license tag
and is registered with the secretary OF
state. Thus the machines can be hid
den only temporarily, for if they do
not appear on the return sheet of the
tax paper, they are certain to be found
by examination of the state records.
Such an examination would involve
some clerical work but would doubt
less be profitable from the standpoint
of the tax ferret. or course there is
always a question arising as to the
value of any machine. Numbers Of
auto owners are returning practically
new machines at less than one-half Of
their purchase value, and these owners
are maintaining that any brand new
machine depreciates one-half the mo-
ment it reaches the buyer Naturally
there is a great variety Of opinion on
this question,

Good Health Exhibits,

Good health exhibits promise to be
a feature at most of the county fairs
that will be held in Ohio this summer
corn and lemonade, the races and all of
the other interesting things that fea-
ture most fairs, the visitor will be able
to learn simultaneously how to care
for his health. His lessons will be
learned in a special tent, where he will
health show. The ordinary visitor
will be surprised to find such a thing
in a tent but the state board of health
has decided that this represents one
of the easiest and best ways of reach
ing the people. The regular medical
or health exhibit was found too large
to be placed in single tent, so the
medical experts began cutting it down
until they have reduced it to such a
size that it fits an ordinary tent fair
ly well. The tent show will begin
during the latter part of this month
and will continue during the fall.
Miller Makes Statement.
"The public schools, universities and
normal schools will receive from the
state the coming year more than
81, 100000 in excess of the amount re-
ceived last year." declares State
School Superintendent Frank w. Mil
ler in statement just issued. The
public schools get the bulk of this in
crease, Mr.. Miller says. His statement
was issued to correct the idea that the
reduction in the state school levy for
school purposes would cut down the
amount the schools would receive,
The statutes make it mandatory to pay
the schools 50 for each pupil.
Expenses of Special Session.
Expenses OF the special one-day ses.
sion of the general assembly probably
will run less than $1,000, and it is es-
timated by John R. Cassidy, clerk of
the house, that they will not exceed
| $500. The major portion of the cost
of the session is due to the mileage
of members, which will constitute
about six-sevenths of the total session
expense The salary of assembly en-
ployes will be comparatively small, for
the shortness of the session kept most
of the employees away. Had the ses.
sion been longer practically all of the
employees would have been on hand.

dynamite explosion that occurred in
East Akron near the Goodyear plant.
The injured are:

Use sieve to measure the grain.
and give it few shakes to allow the
dirt and seeds to fall out before feed
ing. Some pour water over the grain
in the sieve, or dip the sieve Of grain
in a bucket or tub Of water few
times. This is good plan as 1T re-
moves all dust and smut. The feed
