AMERIc FIRST
HARVEST THE WEED CROP.

xu,EEDs are a tax on agriculture. They cost the
Wv country millions OF dollars annually. They take
o toll from Uncle Sans income through their ef.
feet on the general health but jus thow much weeds ham.
per human efficiency has not as yet been reduced to e1.
tcf dollars and cents.
The professional hay feverite who loses his two or
1 rec week regularly every summer is not the only VIC
tim Of the weed. Summer colds, rose fever and similar
catarrhal affections may limit a mans capacity for ef.
fectiye work for weeks, yet they are caused by nothing
seemingly more important than a pleasant breeze. The
danger comes when that chance wind blows over some
persons weed crop.
A movement ending toward the destruction OF all hay
fever weeds has been launched in many states, and it
will serve a double purpose for 1t happens that the farm
er and the hay fever victim blacklist the same weeds.
The flowers Of the condemned are inconspicuous and
without attractive odor. But they produce great quaint.
ties OF light pollen which nature, to suit her own pur-
poses of fertilization. has shaped to be carried on the
wind. This fine dust places the rag weed, the yellow
dock, the careless weed, the cookie bur and certain grass.
81 among the plant pests. Recently, the president, of
the national hay fever association has pointed out the
common daisy feabane as one of those plants which, like
files; should be destroyed on sight. Soon the man who
refuses to keep down the weeds on his property will be
regarded with disfayor in the community according to
those who are making a study Of the weed question in
respect to public health.
New Orleans has already passed the first ordinance en-.
acted for the benefit Of hay fever sufferers. The ordi-
nance is quite wide in its scope.

church and the community. None can doubt the value Of
the churches TO any city or Community.
Dr. stoetzer IN speaking TO the writer last night, stated
that It might seem to many that the presbyterians were
building beyond their means and building a larger, better
and greater church than was absolutely needtul at this
time. But he pointed out that the church must not build
alone for the day and the present but must build for fu-
ture, years and Try to reasonably estimate the growth Of
the church. It is better TO make a church now that win
slightly less cost and then be forced to make some addi.
tons in q few years.
The citizens Of Fairmont have rallied to the support
Of the Presbyterian church movement with that splendid
spirit with which they are known to support any COOL Is
sue. Taking what has been done during the first part of
the campaign, with only $4,000 to be raised today and
tomorrow and knowing the fighting spirit ofthose who
are leaders in the work, we feel confident that the com.
plete success Of the movement is assured.

That the proposition to bond the municipality in the
sum of 100000 for public enterprises of various degrees
OF merit has aroused keen popular interest is proved by
the amount Of talk heard on the streets and in places
where men and women too. congresate. Discussion of
the whole matter at a town meeting would clear the at
