MILITIA PAY

the treasury, in regard to the right
Oh national guardsmen to the death

dc' oI 1913 for officers and enlisted
men OF the army, navy and marine
corps. At the request of Secre+arv
or War Baker, the comptroller hos
reviewed the acts of Congress that
pear on the subject and finds that ma
tlonal guardsmen, while in the SER
vice of the United States, are in all
respects entitled to all the pav and
allowances to which officers and men
OF the regular army are entitled.
The recent army reorganization
act declares that the army of the
United States shall consist of the reg

offlcers' reserve corps, the enlisted
reserve corps and the national guard
while in the service of the United
States.
The act of Congress, passed in 1898
to place the volunteer army on
proper basis as to pay, provided that
the volunteer army and the militia
of the States when in the service of
the United States should be in all re-
spects on the same footing as to pay,
allowances and pensions as that of
officers and enlisted men of CORES
ponding grades in the regular army.
The wives or the nearest of kin or
a designated friend of any National
Guard officer or of any National
Guard enlisted men will, therefore,
in case of the death of the officer or
man while in the line of duty, re-
ceive as a benefit gift from the Gov
ernment a sum amounting to six
months pay of the officer or man
with a deduction of the stated amount
provided for funeral expenses.
Wives and families of National

titled to pensions in the case of the

SPECIMENS
HUMOR

Poems copyright, 1887 1898, by James
Whitcomb Rilsy.l
UNLIKE many poets who could
write in as serious a vein as
~ he sometimes did, James
Whitcomb Riley was noted
for his sense Of humor. Not many
men could tell a story as well as he,
and few have shown as great will
tngness to act as racQpteurs when the
anecdote was directed against them
selves. But some of the best Riley
stories have come from his friends,
for he was far too modest to exploit
his wealth Of repartee, though it was
always on tap.
For instance, during a visit to Lou
fsvfl1e, KY, Riley had an encounter
with a woman reporter, who evidently
was not entirely familiar with the his
tory Of the Hoosier bachelor poet.
After strenuous efforts she finally
caught him at the telephone, and the
following conversation ensued:
"Is that Mr.. RileyY'
Eyes. This Is Miss'-
miss Jones of the Courier-J Journal
I've been trying all day to get an In
terview with you. Mr.. Riley"
"Ah, would 1t were now a view In
stead Of an interview" said the poet
gallantly.
"Oh, thanks! How long will you
remain in Louisville, Mr.. RileyY'

POTATO DISEASES
IN new JERSEY

"Potato growing is one of the most
important industries in New Jersey.
In 1915 there were $4,000 acres in po-
tatoes producing 100000 bushels,
or an average of 1870 bushels per acre.
This crop is valued at $3.50 per acre
or $9,06S,000 for the entire crop -.
However, the industry suffers very
heavy annual losses, which are due
primarily to three causes; unfavor-
able weather, insects and diseases.
s. The diseases caused by fungi.
and bacteria are the causes
of the greater part of our losses. A
conservative estimate of the annual
losses in New Jersey potato produc-
ton due to fungus and bacterial dis
eases will range from 10 per cent.
to 25 per cent. Many of these losses
could be prevented by the proper Sc
lection and treatment of seed and by
the proper treatment of the growing
crops
The above is a quotation from Cir
cular SO of the New Jersey Asricul-
tural Experiment Station, entitled,
"Potato Diseases in New Jersey by
DIR. NJ. T. Cook and DR.. H. c. Lint, Of
the department of plant pathology.
The various potato diseases are de-
scribed. and methods of control re-
commended. The circular is for free
distribution to those desiring it.

OF R|LfY'S
AND POETRY

years since he had visited the old
town, and as the affair had been we'll
advertised people poured in from all
sections of the county.
Riley arrived on an evening train.
The "old band" was at the station to
meet him. The poet was put in q
low necked carriage with a reception
committee, and, headed by the band,
a procession was formed of citizens,
and they paraded the business streets.
A very old man leaned up against
the Gymond House, hotel of Riley'S
day, and as the carriage passed he
squinted one eye and out of the op-
posite corner of his mouth said:
tive seen the time In this here burg
when they would have got a brass
band to git Jimmie Riley out of town"
Loved Children's Stories.
Riley's love for children was proven
bal, and none knew it better than the
youngsters Of his neighborhood. It
was o: one Of these that he was fond
Of telling this story:
A certain young mother was striv-
ing to bring up her small son in a
proper Christian manner. His day
ended with the usual short prayer at
his mothers knee before going to bed.
One night she was called away and
returned to find him snuggled under
the warm blankets.
"Did you say your prayers, dearr'
she inquired.
"Nope," was the answer.
"Are you not going to say themr
