gooseberries. An examination Of such
bushes in the vicinity of white pine is,
therefore, essential in ascertaining the
extent of the disease and the probable
ity of further infection.
From June till the time the leaves
fall, the bushes should be searched for
the mealy yellow masses which, hardly
larger than a pinhead, may yet be so
abundant as to cover large part of
the lower surface of the leaf. Later
in the fall the lower surface of the leaf
is also marked by short, hairy out
growths:
1t is known that the rust was brought
into this country in nursery stock from
Europe. Trees grown from such i'm
ported stock, therefore, are much more
likely to be infected than those raised
from seed in this country, for the rust
is not transmitted in seed, but in nurs-
cry stock only. Owners of planted
trees, therefore, are urged to investi-
gate the history of their trees even
when they show no evidence Of infec-
ton. If it cannot be proved that the
trees were grown from seed in this
country, they should be Watched close
ly and continually for dead tops and
side branches. If there is any reason
to suspect the existence of the rust,
arrangements can be made with the
department of agriculture ut Washing
ton for an inspection by experts. This
inspection is regarded as most nee
essary measure for the protection not
only of the owner of the individual
stand in question but for the protection
of every owner of white pine in the
neighborhood. The destruction OF in
fected stock is imperative if the spread
Of the disease is to be checked.
Another precaution urged in the bull
letin already mentioned is the require
ment, in purchasing trees, of a guaran-
ty that they have been raised under
conditions which effectually have safe
guarded them from danger.

MRS. LANSING'S SUCCESS

Washington society, following the
appointment of Robert Lansing as
secretary of state, expressed keen in

in social activity there. Mrs. Lansing
has proved to be one Of the ablest
social leaders Washington has seen in
years. She is well equipped for her
duties, which are next to those of
''the first lady Of the administration"
for as Miss Eleanor Foster, daughter
of John w. Foster, secretary of state
under President Harrison, she was
given an early training in Washing
tons social activities.
Mrs. Lansing is one of the most
striking looking women in admlnistra-
ton circles. Although as wife of the
secretary Of state she takes precedence
over many older women, her charm of
manner and rare tact have gained
great popularity for her.
Much of Mr.. Lansing's success is
attributed to the aid of his wife. She

THE National Republican says down
with the "straw poll' as a farce and
of no effect, except to feed one with
joyful anticipation or dire misgiving,
as the case may be. I agree with the
Republican as voiced in the follow
ing:
The election results of 1915 ought to
tie the can for all time to the straw
poll as an election result indicator.
1t is claimed in behalf of the straw
poll taken during the last campaign
by a syndicate of papers that it cor
rectly indicated the general result in
go per cent of the states covered. But
a good guesser can hit it off sixty per
cent of the time. The worst feature
of the poll vas that it showed Cali
fornia to be two to one for Hughes.
Either the poll was not properly tax
en-, or it was intended to luil the Re-
publican managers to a sense of
security. Four years hence let it be
remembered that the straw poll isn't
in it with Irl Hicks as a prophet.

The sudden death of DR.. j. @. Ad-

our community last week. We feel
especially sorry for the venerable

utterance against our beloved Presi-
dent.
We note in the Enterprise every
week that "Der Old Man" is singing

very jubilant over the fact that there
is a physician located at Redmond

entirely by his politics, and the Red
mondville doctor isn't ashamed of
his.
Every American citizen should take
an active part in politics. We should
all stand by our respective parties,
and do all in our power to aid ia the
advancement of the princi Piles in
which we believe, but we should not
be narrow enough to judge a man be-
cause he belongs to the opposite
party.
Our candidates come out before the
election and tell the ''dear people,"
that they will just do anything to help
them out. We wave the "bloody
shirt" and a few days after the cleo
ton ask for a small favor of the Sc
men we have worked so hard to elect,
and sad to say, we are ignored, and
given to understand that our reward
is merely the satisfaction of knowing
our party won!
How many of my fellow West End
ers have entertained lavishly the
bunch of candidates from Ironton, on
their prediction tour, and a few
days after the election on going to

rejoicing over the victory, find them
selves ignored and forced to find

Organized Col Operation.

A community is what it's people
make it, through team work. The
modern commercial organization is
recognized as n of the greatest
forces in community betterment and
is a force that is recognized by legis-
lative bodies in attempting to solve
the problems incidental to present
day economic conditions.
The business men of the towns that
are doing things were among the first
to realize that a towns prosperity
rested upon the prosperity of it's
agricultural districts. Manufacturing.
mining and other important industries
are great factors in community de-
velopment, but underlying all the
reasons for community prosperity is
the thrift and progressiveness of the
agricultural districts surrounding the
town.
For this reason there came about
the movement for a co-operativ We
activity in which the urban and rural
citizenship should join in working
for the common veal. And because
of It's greater need for food the town
took the initiative in the movement.
1t was not through a desire to dictate
to the farmer that the townsman be-
gan a campaign for a better agricul-
ture, but it was through his self-pre-
servation. Year by year the demand
for farm products increased in a
greater ratio than did the supply.
Something had to be done, and as it
was the stomach OF the townsman that
suffered, it was naturally the brain of
the townman which first became
active.
In the beginning much emphasis
was placed upon the necessity for in
creased production, and q great cry
went up, the burden Of which was
"Back to the Farm But unfortun-
ately the hungry man in town thought

the schools, legislative bodies and
business organizations considered the

achs Of the consumers. The matter

products received little attention un-
Ill the fact was forced home that the
producers interest must also be 0 n
sidered. When this was done there

From the Greenville journal:
Wayne county is becoming rather
impatient at the inactivity Of the road
bond movement. Many cannot under
stand why it should be incumbent up
on this county to wait for st. Louis
county to settle her litigation. Prob
lens confront that county which are
unlikely to be met with here. Some
of the property owner of st. Louis
county have taken legal steps to pre-
vent the issuance of the bonds. 1t is
not at all likely that there is a citizen
of this county who would be willing
to undergo the necessary expense to
take a similar step here, as the larger
property owners of the county were,
with hardly an exception, in favor of
the bond issue. The incorporated
towns of st. Louis county are causing
more or less trouble too, by claiming
a part of the bond money. That is a
contingency which would probably
not be met with in this county as the
three incorporated towns of Wayne
county have a keen realization of the
need of improving the country roads.
To the lay mind it would appear that
the county is attempting to cross a
few bridges before they are reached
a policy universally known to be I'M
satisfactory"

rapidly started a really cooperative
movement that's doing much TO bring
about a greater prosperity in those
towns which have discovered that
their prosperity was interviewer with
that of their rural districts. The eff
fcient commercial organization real
to the limits of the home town, but
extended to the uttermost limits of the
trade zone of the town, which trade
zone was made larger according to
the efficiency and honest desire for
cooperation on the part of the BUSH
ness men composing the organization.
Many communities have delayed
their progress and prosperity by
wrong methods. Some have under
taken to build up manufacturing in
dustries when they should have
systematically increased their agricul-
ture. Others have undertaken wrong
lines of agriculture and have therefore
been handicapped in a competition
with other communities more particu-
larly adapted for those lines of farm
ing.
This has been the greatest trouble
in developing the Ozarks country.
For many years there has been an at
tempt of the hill country to compete
with the alluvial and prairie sections
in grain farming, instead of taking up
stock breeding, dairying and other
lines fitted for a country of fertile
valleys and rugged hills. With the
passing of the forests of merchantable
timber the problem confronts US of
making the Ozarks country a self sus-
tanning section. VI
Because of a genial climate and
short feeding seasons, because of
abundant pure water and splendid
ranges, the Ozarks is an ideal country
for stock breeding and dairying. and
the cattle men and the dairy men of
the colder states are turning their at
tention to the Ozarks.
In various sections there are being
organized movements to induce the
coming of these seekers for new loca-
tions and in consequence they are
getting sheep men from Montana,
cattle men from the Dakotas and
dairymen from Wisconsin and Iowa.
Gar loads Of dairy cattles are being
shipped in and dairies are taking the
places of hill corn patches.
Creameries are being built in many
communities and numerous one time
half starved farmers are now becom-
ing depositors of money in their local
banks, instead of petitioners for loans
from those banks.
No section of the Ozarks is better
adapted to dairying and stock breed
ing than the district composed of the
counties of Iron, Reynolds, Wayne
aud Carter, and it is to be hoped that
our business men and our farmers
will take part in the movement being
i~naugurated to make of this section
of Missouri a prosperous one.
