THE .ALIBI OF SENATOR
JONES

CEN TOR JONES of
s Washington offers the
alibi that all our present
trouble is due to the fact Presi-
dent Wilson did wrong at the
time of the Lusitania sinking.
1t is a thin excuse for it is now
history that our president call
ed Germany to time in the
most forcible manner. More
than that Germany complied
with his demand and for many
months scrupulously refrained
from further outrages of the
sort. There is one line of rea-
soning, however, by which the
present crisis may be attribut-
ed to the presidents action at
the time the Lusitania was
sunk. If we had gone to war
with Germany then we would
of course not be upon the brink
of war now. We would be in
the mire with both feet.
Senator Jones to excuse his
conduct at a time
when his country needed his
vote is offering arguments left
ever from the last republican
campaign text books. The
country found those arguments
unpalatable last fall and they |
have not grown better with |
age.

Some people ere obiecting
to the state road bonding pro-
posal because of antipathy to
bonds. However, the objec-
ton loses much of it's force
when it is considered that auto
license money will play the
chief part in meeting the in
terest on these bonds and in
retiring them. If auto owners
are to bear the chief burden of
the expense it is only fair that
the owner of the future should
meet his part of the Obliga-
tions. The auto owners of the
future will derive more benefit
than those of the present from
a permanent highway system

was given the job for the crucial test in a worlds series. However, Mack found that each time the choice was well made, as on finding his curves failed to puzzle opponents, the famous twirler placed all his dependence in his head. The number of victories he turned in his favor testifies as to his ability to outguess the opposition.
 When the powerful Mack machine was torn asunder several years ago, Plank was one of the members of the squad to go. Fielder Jones, manager of the St. Louis Browns, believing that Eddie had not outdone his usefulness. purchased his release
 Last year with the Browns Plank was able to break a little better than even on his pitching record, winning l5 and losing IA games for an average of .517 per cent. However. this year because of failing health Plank felt that he would be of little use to the club and it was for this reason that he retierd from the game.

REFUGEES PRESENT
 PATHETIC PICTURE

Few more pathetic pictures of the sad condition of the Macedonian peas ant have been drawn than that pre- scented by Herbert Corey, the war cor respondent, in a communication to the National Geographic society, a part Of which is issued as the following war geography bulletin:
 Along the Monastir road there is continuous, dribbling stream of refu- gees-not many at time. Sometimes half a dozen will trudge by in the course of a. day. Sometimes an entire village has been evacuated farther up the line and fifty or so who have held on to the bitter end tramp stolidly and unwillingly to safety. These poor folk never leave their homes until they have been compelled to. The outer wcrld is a strange and hostile place to them. Perhaps not che in loo has ever been twenty miles away from his hamlet.
 They pile their poor effects on q donkey, put the babies on top and load the women with what there is left. If there is a spare donkey the man of the house always rides. If there are two spare donkeys the eldest sons ride The women always walk. Only once did I see man walking while his wife rode the donkey. The road buzzed with gossip of 1t.
 They have suffered greatly, these poor folk Yet candor c0mpels me to say that at first sight the difference between a Macedonian peasant evicted and a Macedonian peasant at home is so slight that it fails to arouse much sympathy. These poor folk seem to a westerner always on the edge of starvation. The principal item of their diet is maize, so poorly ground by crude water turned wheels that their bodies are repulsively swollen from the resultant indigestion.
 "A man with Q yoke of oxen and forty sheep is rich.
 Their homes are mere inclosures of stone, topped with blackened thatch, without windows and sometimes with out other door than blanket or bit of Tapping skin. Often the fire is lighted in the middle of the dirt floor and the smoke seeps out through the crevices of the walls and the holes in the rcof. Baths seem unknown and vermin are commonplace of their ex- istence.
 Yet they cling blindly to these how els When they hide themselves from an invader they alweys choose some nook in the hills, from which they may watch the roofs. They cache foodstuffs in secret places. from which they take a handful of corn or a cheese of eve milk at night.

THE POTATO SCAB IS
NOT HARD TO CONTROL
Crop Rotation, Clean Fertilizer, and
Treatment of Seed Are EHec-
tive Measures.

Among the troubles with which the
grower of Irish potatoes has 10 con-
tend is the disease commonly known
as potato scab. This disease affects
the tubers themselves, and not only
makes the potatoes unsightly but de-
creases the yield.
The potato scab Is not a difficult
disease to control, and an expenditure
of few cents and few hours time
previous to planting the seed vii.
practically make certain that the crop
will be free Of this disease. In order
to accomplish this, three things must
be considered.
% Practice Crop Rotation. Pota-
toes should not be grown in a field
that produced a crop Of scabby pota~
toes the previous year. In some sec
lions OF the country the disease will
live over from one year to the next IL
the SOIL To avoid possible infection
from the soil 1t is always best to 20.
tate the crors. After field has grown
potatoes for one year. it should be
plantt d in other crops for a couple O.
years until any Of the scab infection
that may have been present in the
soil has had sufficient time to be
killed.
~ Do Not Use infected Fertilizer
It sometimes happens that when a
grower has scabby potatoes he feed
them to his stock. Many OF the pc
tatoes will become mixed with the ma
nure and later find their way bacE
to the fields. II potatoes are planted
on land on which this manure has
been spread, a diseased crop IS ve1''
likely to be the result Only fertilla-
err should be used that is known 70
be free OF any infection.
(3) Treat All Potatoes With Fo7-
maldehyde Before Planting. Tt"
greatest source Of infection comes
from the seed that is used for plant
ing. The disease remains alive in the
scabby spots on the tubers. and cohsc-
ouentlv II scabby potatoes are used
for planting without treatment, it 5
more than likely that scabby crop
will develop. A large part OF the seed
sold in this state are more or less af-
fected with the scab disease. In a
number OF instances that have come
to our attention, potatoes have been
shipped here for planting that were
so badly affected with the scab that
they would not have been salable for
eating purposes. 1t is probably i'm
possible to buy seed ard be absolutely
! sure that no scab Is present, but il ia
possible to buy seed that do not have
an excessive amount Of the disease
II only a small amount Of scab is
present on potatoes it can be larg aIy
removd by treating them with Or
| maldehyde (formalin) solution. q
always best to give seed potatoes MS
treatment whether any scab is Wis b 2
or not. as a small amount Of the ais.

be obtained in sealed pound bottles at
