AGED COUPLE AT DIVORCE
COURT TELL QUEER TALE

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 17-Drenching
her husband with ice cold buttermilk
when he stopped over to get something
out of the refrigerator was the unique
allegation confronting Mrs. John r.
Elliott, of this city, when she went into
court yesterday to defend divorce
suit brought by her husband. And
still more unique, in the domestic trou
b]es and trials of the Elliott family is
the fact that both are sixty years Of
ase, have been married thirty-eight
years and have raised family of seven
grown children. 1t seems, according
to the wifes testimony in her own de-
tense, that the old man got to carrying
the picture of a young and cookbook
ing woman in his pocket, and when
she found it and called him to task he
resented her interference, with the re-
suit that she felt obliged to give him a
buttermilk bath to get even.

RUSSIAN LOAN IN JAPAN
TWICE OVER SUBSCRIBED

TOXIC, Oct. 1.-THE fact that a
loan to Russia of 70 million yen about
$S5,0O0,OO0) was twice over subscribed
by the public has attracted consider
able attention in Japan and is regard
ed by the press as indicating faith in
the victory of the Entente Allies and
faith in the power of the rehabilitation
of Russia The loan was at six per
cent and consisted of Russian treasury
bonds.
1t is likely that additional loans of
similar nature will be made suisse
quently as Russia desires to raise a
total of 25O million yen in Japan
(about 1875 million dollars. 1t is I'M
derstood that the loan will be utilized
ic the payment of munitions of war
purchased in Japan by Russia.

UNIQUE DISTINCTION is
HONOR OF ROSCOE PICKETT

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 1.-THE dis
tinction of being the only candidate in
the history of Georgia politics who
ever admitted at the outset that he
didn't have a chance to be elected in
enjoyed by Roscoe Pickett, former state
senator from the Forty-frst district,
who has announced himself candi-
date for governor on the republican
ticket.
Mr.. Pickett frankly admits that he is
not running with any idea of being
elected, but simply for the purpose of
forming the nucleus of an opposition
political party in Georgia.
He will be recalled as the senator
who had controversy with Thomas B.
Fielder, the Atlanta lawyer and prohi-
bition advocate, during the fight in the
legislature over the Savannah recall
bill. Senator Pickett denounced Mr..
Fielder in a speech on the floor of the
senate, and Mr.. Fielder wrote him a
note in which he called the senator a
liar and another name and invited him
to come out of the senate chamber and
resent the insult. On the evening OF
that day was stabbed in the Kimball
House by G. K. Vason, doorkeeper of
the house of representatives.

Shade and Fruit Trees Need
Spraying Now Against Scale

Atlanta, Gait is almost time to get
busy with the dormant season spray
ing of fruit trees, such as peach, apple,
pear and plum, which are subject to
attack by the San Jose scale. It doesn't
make much difference to Georgia horti-
culturists where the San Jose scale
came from or how it got here; the
allimportant thing with them is to
keep it down so as to protect their
trees and fruit.
Another pest that is seriously de-
structive In Georgia, and for which
the fall spraying treatment should be
used, is the Gloomy scale" on shade
trees. There is scarcely city or town
in Georgia but has its shade trees,
sometimes many Of them, that are
gradually being killed out by this pest,
which is very much like the San Jose
scale.
The scientific name Of the San Jose
is "Aspidiotus Perniciosus," while that
OF the Gloomy scale is "Aspidiotus OBJ.
scura." However that may be, it is
indicative Of the fact that they are
closely allied. the only practical diff
ference being that they attack diff
ferent sorts Of trees. 1t would take
an expert entomologist to tell the
difference between the two from the
sample.
Scale kiIIino MANY Trees
The shade trees most subject to at
tack by this scale are oaks, naples
and poplars. 1t is particularly severe
on naples, and in almost every in
stance, where these shade trees are
found dying throughout the state, the
cause may be traced to this insect.
There is but one remedy, but one
thing that will protect and save the
life of the tree. and that is spraying
But for effective work different
sprays must be used on the two scales
The most effective spray for San Jose
scale is the well known commercial
lime-sulphur solution; but the gloomy
scale is tougher and more difficult OF
penetration, and for substantial re
suits the soluble oils, such as scale
eide, must be used in proportions Of
about one of oil to twelve or fifteen oil
water, forming an emulsion
The State Board of Entomology
recommends and urges both fall and
spring sprayings against both these
scales. The trees should be sprayed
in the fall after all the leaves have
fallen, and again in the spring just
before the buds open
1t makes no difference whether one
tree, one hundred trees or one hun
dred thousand are involved, spraying
is absolutely necessary, if they are tc
be protected and saved from the de
structive work of these insects.
Machinery For Spraying

Simple FumigatiOn Remedies.

Of the simpler remedies the entomol-
agist rays that benzine, kerosene, or
other l!.;Eter petroleum oils introduc
ed into c,evices by means of a crush or
syringe are perhaps the most efficient.
The bulletin also gives direction for
fumigation with sulphur or other
chemica 5. which will be ofund econ
omical and effective in cases of gener-
al infestation.
Those who have been bitten will find
applications of peroxide of hydrogen
useful in ailaying irritation. Tincture
OF iodine, in its ordinary OF double
strength, is also good counter-irri-
tant for use in cases of fleas, mos
quitoes, bedbugs, or other insect bites
Iodine, however, should be used with
caution on the tender skin of small
children and on those who are affecte
with or disposed to eczemic disorders.
The bulletin will be supplied free by
the U. S. Department of Agriculture as
lon ga sthe supply lasts.

NEW NAVAL SERVICE ARM
BEGUN BY AUSTRIA-HUNGARY

VIENNA, Oct. 1.-THE "Austro'
Hungarian Cyclist Naval Battalion,
forms part of the Austro-Hungarian
army, naval section, and is being used
in the defence of the Adriatic Coast
The sailor cyclists are able to cover
quickly wide stretches of the coast, the
defence of which is entrusted to the
navy, to beat off raids, attempted
landings or aerial attacks.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1916-10-17

an intimate and careful study of the
subject, has recently prepared several
bulletins relating to spraying, particN-
larly for fruit trees, and these may
be had by any one interested, upon
application to the department
For shrubs, small shade and small
fruit trees, Mr.. Chase recommends the
hand compressed air sprayer, which
is slung over the shoulder. It will
serve for hedge plants and small or
chards, and the best type of complete
outfit may be had for about IS or S. 90.
But when it comes to larger shade
trees and more extensive orchards, q
different type Of sprayer must be
used. The barrel sprayer which may
be mounted in a barrel. or bought sep
'ately and mounted at home, will
serve for many shade trees and for
orchards up to 1000 or 5000 trees.
The complete outfit with all accesso-
ries may be had for about 325.
For very large shade trees, pecan
groves and the more extensive peach,
apple and plum orchards, the gasoline
power pump should be used. This
may be had in many sizes and at diff
! ferent prices. 1t is possible to get
good pump and engine for about
SIPS, and build a tank and set up
the machinery at home, whereas the
complete outfit, ready-made, costs
from 5000 to $3.50.
Get The Right Materials
Care should be used in securing the
best grade and suitable type of nozzle.
For the small orchard 40 feet of 7-ply
hose, with extension rod of varying
length used with the barrel pump, will
answer. For spraying peaches, shrubs,
hedge rows, etc, the "Mistry" type
of nozzle, giving a hollow cone-like
spray of fine mist, should be used.
For spraying shade trees use the
| Bordeaux nozzle which throws a fat,
| solid stream to considerable height.
Orchardmen have practically aban-
| doned the homemade lime-sulphur
preparation, on account of difficulties
attendant upon its manufacture, in IA
vor of the commercial lime-sulphur
concentrate, which may be had in
practically every city, and which, when
used according to directions, is most
effective in the spraying of fruit trees
against San Jose scale.
| One of the best sprays for gloomy
scale on shade trees is what is known
as "Scalecide," commercial, soluble
oil preparation, that has great pene.
trating qualities. This is now general.
| ly recommended for this purpose
The board of entomology, upon ap.
plication, will be glad to supply any
information desired with reference to
spraying machinery, sprays, methods
of application, etc.
Fall spraying should be done with.
in the next few weeks, and it is par
ticularly important that it be done
! thoroughly.

RHEUMATISM AFTER
HIS Days OUTING
Hunting Trip On a Wet Day
Brings Painful Results.

Once upon time Charles Mullen, of
Philadelphia, went cunning. 1t was a
dismal rainy day, and long exposure to
cold and wet brought on a severe
attack of rheumatism. He was con-
fined to his home.
A friend recommended Sloan's Lini-
ment, citing his own case as evidence
of it's effectiveness. Mullen bought a
bottle and applied it to his aching
limbs. Soon Improvement was noticed
and he was able to return to business.
Mr.. Mullen writes: "Since that ex-
perience have never been without
Sloan's Liniment in the medicine
chest" You will find it soothes bruises,
sprains, toothache and relieves lame
back, neuralgia, in fact all external
pains. At all druggists, 25c., SOC.

MAKE EVERY RURAL
SCHOOL B|GCENTER

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 17.-How every
rural school may be made a commun-
nifty center is one of the questions to
come before the Farmers National
Congress, which opened here today
Another phase of the rural educational
work in which the congress has taken
an interest is how to bring the coun-
try school more directly under the
supervision of the superintendent.
The question of supervision has been
troublesome, it is said, because in most
states the superintendent of county
schools often has clerical duties to
look after which prevent him from
getting away from his desk. The con-
gress proposes to remedy this, that the
superintendent be relieved of all cler
ical duties and provided with means
of travelling with the speed necessary
for his respective district.
To raise the standard of teachers
the congress proposes that rural in
structors be picked from those in
touch with rural conditions and in
sympathy with them. By making a
community center of the schools, some
of the members of the congress say
they believe it will be possible to in
terest better teachers and arouse more
among those already en-
gagged in teaching in the country dis
tricts.
Other topics to be discussed by the
congress which is to last three days,
include road tax problems, road build
ing, soil fertility, water power con-
servation, forestry conservation, mark
citing problems, and the rural credits
law. Among the speakers whose
names are on the program are Clifford
Pinchot, Hoke Smith, United States
Senator from Georgia; Representative
Ralph Moss of Indiana, and Henry S.
Graves, chief of the U. S. Forestry
service.

NOW To ERADICATE
BEDBUGS IS TOPIC

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. H.
Those who are troubled by bugs will
find practical information as to how to
deal effectively with these pests in
Farmers Bulletin 754, "Bedbugs," re-
Gently published by the Z. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture. In this bulletin
c. L. Marlatt of the Bureau of Ento-
mology makes clear the habits of these
insects which have bearing on their
eradication, and suggests a number of
simple household measures, as well as
more radical methods, of getting rid
0 fthem. The author calls attention
especially to the fact that these in
sects will migrate from an unoccupied
to an inhabited house and points out
that the fact that they ordinarily hide
in the daytime makes it necessary TO
apply the insecticides in cracks in
walls and floor and crevices under
wall paper, where the insects ordinar-
lily are concealed and lay their eggs.
as to the ability of bed
bugs to Withstand cold and to go
without food for long periods should
be especially useful to those intending
to move into houses long untenanted.
