GOVERNMENTAL IDEAS
OF HONOR

President Wilson, on several occa-
sions, notably in his War Message OF
April 2 and in his reply to the peace
note of the Pope, has called attention
to the fact that no peace can be MAN.
tanned with the Imperial German
government; that no autocratic gov
ernment such as it can be trusted to
keep faith; that only free people can
hold their purpose and their honor
steady to common need, and prefer
the interest of mankind to any mar
row interest of their own.
The President was only restatlng
a difference between two systems of
governmental policy, two different
governmental ideas Of national honor,
that has long existed. The quotations
given below show the American idea
of a nations honor from the inception
of this government down to the pres
ent day and the idea of national hon
or held by the German government
since the days Of Frederick the Great.
"The foundations of our national
policy will be laid in the pure and i'm
muable principles of private morality
There exists in ths scourse OF nature
an indissoluble union cf virtue and
happiness, between duty and advan-
tage, between honest policy and public
felicity. The smiles of heaven can
never be expected on a government
that disregards the eternal rules OF
order and right, which heaven itself
has ordained" George Washington
President Of the United States. April
1889.
eve are at the beginning of an age
in which it will be insisted that the
same standards of conduct and of re-
sponsibility for wrong done shall be
observed among nations and their gov
ernments that are observed among the
individual citizens of civilized states

eve are now in state of necessity

troops have occupied neutral Luxem-
burg and perhaps already entered Bel
GUM territory. This is breech of
international law. The. wrong. we
hereby commit we will try to make

Frederick the Great speaking in 1740'
"The question of right is an affair Of

are never wrong, unless you are oblig'

We miss your pleasant greetings,
We miss your smiling face;
Our home is sad without you,
When we see your vacant place.
Oh! the hope! the hope is present
That soon we'll happy be,
Where all shall be so happy,
From care and pain be free.
You're gone, but not forgotten,
And your memory ne'er shall fade,
And longing hearts will linger
Where our darling babe is laid.
Sadly missed by his parents,

CONTROLLING PEACH
TREE BORERS

The peach tree borer lives most Of
it's life as a worm embedded beneath
the bark of the tree, usually just be-
low the surface of the soil. Here it
starts as a very small worm, eating
away the life of the tree, getting
larger and larger until it undergoes
change into pupa and then moth,
which LAYS eggs for more worms to
carry on their destructive work on
the peach trees. The moth lays the
eggs on the trunk and branches of the
trees during the summer-most of the
eggs being laid during July, August
and September. The eggs hatch in
from 10 to Is days and the young
borers enter the trees. By frost the
borers have all entered the trees and
some will be very small while others
are nearly full grown.
Draw the soil away from the trunk
of the tree to a depth of four inches
or until the roots are exposed ano
search for the tunnels. With sharI
knife follow these tunnels until the
worms are found, and then kill them
The presence Of a mass of gum at the
base of a peach tree usually indicates
the presence of borers. This gun
is thickened wax which escapes where
the tree is injured. There may b'
a number of borers in a single tree
The worker should get at least al
the large ones before leaving a tree
The smaller slender white worm i
often found in the sap. This is no
the peach tree borer and it does n,
damage to the tree, but lives on tn
sap. Where borers arc abundant
worm the trees again in the spring
Also get rid of old worthless peac
trees, practice clean culture in the or
chard, and keep the bearing trees vig
orous.
Peach tree borers do a great dea
of damage and many people hav
abandoned the growing of peache
because of them. However, they ca
be controlled successfully if the proI
er effort is made.

DIED

On Sunday, Sept. %, 1917, the an
gel of death came into cur midst and
plucked from US one of our faircst,
brightest flowers, taking away Will
liam Marcus Smith, little son of Mr..
and Mrs. VIM. A. Smith, of Coffman,
NO., age one year and nine days.
His death was due to acute gastri-
tis. He had been ailing all summer,
but was taken seriously i'll Tuesday,
the 18th, until death called him away.
He leaves a broken-hearted mother
and father, grandparents, several
aunts and unclcs and host OF
friends to mourn his death.
We think of death as parting, but
let US think of it as meeting, and strive
dear parents, to meet him on the other
side.
The funeral took place on Tues
day morning, Sept 25th, at o'clock
at S. S. Philip and James church at
River Aux Vases, where funeral SER
vices were held by Rev. T. c. Bochle-
man, after which the body of our dar-
ling baby was conveyed to the Paro-
chial cemetery and laid to rest. The
large concourse OF relatives anu
friends attested the love they bore
him.
The Lord said, "Suffer little chill
dren to come unto me, and forbid
them not, for of such is the kingdom
Of Heaven"
We miss our darling baby,
We all did love so well,
But up above we'll meet him
Where the good forever dwell.
Sad-too soon the calling
Of dear William, loved by all;
We little thought our baby
Would so early hear the call.
A precious one has left us;
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filed.
We knew when babe was smiling,
Reaching out with dimpling hands
He saw the face of Jesus there
And we said: "babe understands

ENDING A FEUp.


The average Georgian will heaye
a sigh OF relief on receipt of the
news that the senate has confirmed
the appointment OF Judge Beverly d.
Evans TO be Judge of the United
States court for the southern district
OF Georgia, says the Albany Herald
A political feud in which the peo-
pie OF Georgia were not particularly
interested prevented confirmation by
the senate of two able iurists who
were proposed at different times for
the vacant federal jrdgeship, and
also prevented the selection of half
dozen others any one of whom
might nave been named but for the
fact that the feud existed. So com
plGte was the deadlock between the
two Georgia senator's and The admin
istration that all hope of a peaceful,
adjustment OF the matter was at one
time abandoned by the people of the
state.
But the name of Judge Evans
proved an open sesame" He is one
OF the states leading jurists, a man
who in his personal and professional
life is above rcproach, and he will
grace the federal bench as he has
the superior and supreme court
benches in his state.
The fact that he was named and
that after being nominated he was
confirmed by the senate without op-
position, is a fine tribute to the new
federal judge, both as a jurist and
as man.

THANKS TO GERARD's MEMOIRS!

The kaisers telegram to President
Wilson, delivered through Ambas8a-
dor Gerard just before the outbreak
OF the war in Europe and made pub
lie for the first time Monday, estab-
fishes as historical truth the fact that
Germany deliberately and by imperial
order, violated the neutrality OF Bel
GUM as a strategic advantage. This
has been understood all along, but it
is well to have it iii the form of an
historical document, in the kaiser's
own handwriting. A highly important
scrap of paper TO be sure!
If the other statements in the kai-
sers telegram are found to be true,
impartial history may also have to
record that, SO far as the immediate
outbreak Of war between Germany
and Russia was concerned, Car Mich
olas or his advisers were entirely too
precipitate i'll their mobilization or
der. The kaiser message recites
that he was in the act of penning a
telegram to the car advising hinl
that the other powers had agreed &c
keep "hands Off" when nc received
the intelligence that the order hat
zone forth for the immediate mobili
zation CT the Russian army. Iiat
Nicholas awaited the kaiser'8 mes
sage, perhaps the war would have
been confined to Austria-IIungary anC
Serbia
But the main point is that the kai
ser assumes full responsibility fol
The premediated violation Of Bel
GUMS treaty rights and the inaugu
ration 'of the reign of blood and le
struction in that unfortunate kins
dom. Belgian neutrality" the kai
sers own hand has written had t
be violated by Germany on strategi
cal grounds
Ambassador Gerard's admirable
memoirs turn the light on grea
many hitherto hidden facts in regard
to the cause and beginning Of thl
great war The ambassador was il
the very center OF those portentouE
