again speaking of the Importance OF
forcing upon the public the absolute
necessity of prompt and vigorous &C
ton in dealing with the white pine
blister rust scourge which Is encroach-
ing upon the forests of this State, said:
1.-The seriousness of the situation is
voiced by the American Forestry As
ISOLATION Of Washington in a recent
statement to the public, which says:
Declaring that white pines valued at
1921, 100000 are threatened with des-
truction by the white pine blister rust.
the American Forestry Association of
this city, today sent warning broad
cast throughout the United States and
Canada urging that every precaution
be taken to prevent the spread of the
disease, which has already found a Sc
cure foothold in New England and 9TH
er eastern states, and in Canada.
The disease Is already progressing in
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Is
land. New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vania, Wisconsin, Minnesota and in the
provinces of Ontario and Quebec in
Canada.
New York and Wisconsin have es-
tablished a rigid quarantine, and vari-
GUS state agricultural boards have
urged that no infected white pines, or
currant and gooseberry bushes be
shipped; that infected bushes, and in
fected pines be destroyed, and in some
cases that there shall be no shipment
from state to state of white pine seed
Hngs, gooseberry or currant bushes
whether they are known to be infected
or not. There is no known cure for
the disease, 1t kills the white pines
infected and it spreads steadily. The
spores or seeds of the disease are
blown from diseased pines to currant
and gooseberry bushes. They germi-
nate on the leaves OF these bushes,
These leaves then produce millions of
spores or seeds of the disease which are
carried by the wind from the bushes to
the pines. and trees are infested, be-
come diseased and die.
The white pines in New England are
worth $75.000.o00: in the Lake States
$96.000,000: in the western states, $780,.
100000; and in National Forests, $780,
100000; or a total of $261, 0OO, 900,
The American Forestry Association
urges people in all the sections where
the disease has been discovered to des.
troy currant and gooseberry bushes,
diseased pines and those exposed to in
lection. This will help to stop the
spread Of the disease.

the Maine Charities and Corrections Com
mission, has returned from Lowell.
Mass, where he attended a meeting Of
the Massachusetts Commission of Char
tiles and Corrections. proceeding to Low
ell from an official visit to York county.
He reports very interesting session or
the Massachusetts board.
Secretary Bagley was primarily inter.
ested in the reports concerning and dis
cussion of the Massachusetts, law known
as the "Act to Provide Aid for Mothers
with Dependent Children an act SIM
liar in design to the Mothers Pension
bill, which was passed at the last reg
ular session Of the Maine Legislature by
the Senate and killed in the House.
The Massachusetts law has now had
three-years trial and all the reports were
favorable to it. It has been through its
hardships and vicissitudes. but is work.
ing out as planned and expected. 1t has
of course been expensive, but the ofii-
Gals are confident that all moneys have
been wisely expended and productive
Of good results. The State pays one
third of the expense and the municlpaf-
ties the balance. All money Is ex1
pended under the direction Of the over
seers Of the poor but in no case does the
receipt of such aid act in any way 70
pauperize any of the beneficiaries. inc
Maine proposition was for the State %
bear one-half of the expense, but Mass
achusetts people think that proportion
too great, arguing that the bulk OF the
burden should be upon those people or
the 6enendentS
belong.
The great idea now being considered oy
all interested in this kind of State ala
and assistance is whether or not IN the
time to come when the dependent chill
dren shall arrive at man and woman
hood, will they arise to the occasion
and assume the burden of the support
of the families which the State has been
carrying? The concensus Of opinion is
that they will and that the problem VIII
be worked out with entire satisfaction to
all concerned.
Secretary Bagley feels assured that the
Maine Board of Charities and Correc-
tons is now in a. much better position
to advise the Legislative committee as
to provisions Of proposed legislation at
the coming session, through this Visit
to the Massachusetts meeting and the
knowledge there acquired.
A significant thing obstrved by him in
the mass of information given out re-
garding the workings Of the Massachu-
sets law was that 81 per cent. of the
mothers assisted were made widows
through tuberculosis. About 20 per cent
Of the cases reported to the board were
through industrial accidents, though of
course these are attended to by the
workmens compensation law.

RECORD AUTO RUN
 CLARKDALE-PRESCOTT
(From Sundays daily.)

Roy Lane, of Clarkdale, hit the high spots between that city and Prescott, Friday when he established a new time record by automobile, making the trip in exactly ? hours and Is minutes.
 There was no particular reason for Lane trying to break into the speed demon class except that Tom Taylor, superintendent of the shelter of the United Verde had made some unkind remarks about the boat" in which the Clarkdale man makes his jour neys around the country. If there is one thing that will arouse a persons ire more than casting reflections on the breed of his dog it is to intimate that his automobile travels more swiftly in the owners imagination than on terra firma. Taylor's vocal observations were not very compli- mentary and he let no occasion pass to remind Lane that he was from Missouri and wanted to be shown.
 It was SIS by the clock when Lane put his foot on the self-starter Fri day evening and he was careful to have his skeptical friend Taylor OH hand to note the exact time. Over hill and dale the little machine went flying along and exactly at 30 Lane and Roy Davidson, his guest, pulled up in front of the Yavapai Club. A quick connection was made by Cen tral" and Taylor was informed that the deed had been did or words to that effect. Taylor was as pleased as Belgium was when German troops passed through her territory on their way to Paris, but he carefully con cealed his qualification over the feat straining himself.

GREEN MONSTER BEING
 WELL PROSPECTED
Special Correspondence.

Special Correspondence. JEROME, Sept. g. - The Green Monster IS no doubt being the most thoroughly prospected property in the Verde district Development is now, and for some time past has been car ried on in six locations: and not later than next Monday, according to Stu perintendent Humbert work in the seventh place will commence.
 This will be the sinking of a shaft at the outcrop on the Protector claim Tn short time also the work of cN tending the tunnel on tine Badger will start This tunnel will be extended 300 feet, or until it reaches point di rcctly under the bottom of an old 200 foot shaft. The terminus of this tun- nel will be 250 feet lower than the bottom of the old shaft, and will give a depth of 450 feet.
 The bottom of the old shaft, which is full of water, is said to be in rich ore: and the extension of the tunnel in the manner outlined will accom- plish the same result as the sinking of the shaft to that point and at fraction of the cost.
 The pipe line to the property is completed and covered except the joints, and will be tested early next week.
 All the machinery is upon the ground except the transformers. These are expected to arrive at any time, and immediately thereafter they and the compressor will be installed The present working force of about 50 men will be increased and every effort put forth by the management to se- cure desired results in the shortest possible time.
 Superintendent Humbert is very optimistic. He likcns the present condition of the property to one cx- posed to smallpox-fevcrish. expect ing to break out with the disease at any moment. A strike any day, would be no surprise.

MINER LOSES LIFE
 DURING CLOUDBURST

News of the death by drowning of
 Victor E. Sperry in the San Juan
 river of Southern Colorado during
 the latter part of July was received during the week by Thomas Ormons, who arrived from Jerome. Sperry was employed as placer miner, and was caught in gulch near the river by a big cloudburst, being thrown against a boulder and rendered un- conscious. It is presumed he was working in a cut at the time the high wall of water came rushing down and was unable to get out of range of the tremendous flow. There were no eye witnesses. His body was found less than lOO yards below, lodged against some brush, with wounds on the head. The unfortunate miner left this sec ton over three years ago for the Colorado country. He was aged about 4 years, a native of Nova Scotia.
