INSPECTOR TO COME HERE
Virginia Crop, Pest Commission
Fighting the White Pine Blister
Official to Visit Local Territory.
(Special to Gazette.)

Blacksburg. Va, July pa dis
ease known as the white pine blister
rust threatens the destruction of all
/ the white pine and other five-leaved
pines in the United States.
The white pines in the United
States are valued at $162,O00,0O0 and
are one cf the most important trees.
They are used in 80 per cent. of New
England's reforestation work.
The blister has already appeared
in New England, New York, Michi-
gan, Wisconsin, and has also been
found as far south as Pennsylvania
but the disease has not yet been
found in Virginia. -.
In order to guard against its in
production here. the, department viii
send an inspector to this city, within
the next few days, however, in*the
person of A. p. Moore.
There is no known cure for it. The
pines infected are killed, and the dis
ease spreads steadily. The spores OF
the disease are carried by the winc
or insects from diseased pines to cur
rants and gooseberry bushes, where
they germinate on the under side Of
the leaves. The leaves then produce
millions of spores or seeds of the dis
Tease. which are carried by the wlac
from the bushes to the pines, ant
these become infected with the dis
ease and die.
The United States Department o
Agriculture is cooperating with tn
| Virginia Crop Pest Commission in
thorough inspection of the white
pines and ribes (currants and goose
berries) in Virginia. Any FIVE needl
pines or ribes which show any sign
of disease should he reported to tn

eased parts should be sent to tn

GAVE SERGEANT HA! HA!
Washington Autoist Made to Pay
Ten Dollars in the Police Court
For Excessive Speed.

Among the cases before the Police
Court this morning was that afs~a'
young man named Isad9ssabfagman,
of Washington, Xbsas6ad been ar
rested by SssseSnt Scott on the
charge ofsfS.ating the speed law of
this city According to the serseant's
statement, Bragman with several Of
his friends passed up King street at
sucei which attracted general at
tcntion. He made the run from st.
Asaph to Washington street In seven
seconds, while the lawful speed IS
eighteen seconds on squares running
east and west Bragman, the sergeant
said, recognized him as an officer oil
the law, and gave him a derisive Ha.
ha!
The prisoner, IN his defense, denied
that he was in the automobile when
it was passing up King street. JUS
tice Cation fined the accused $40.
In this connection it may be stated
that certain automobilists of this
city often disregard the speed law.
1t is no uncommon occurrence for
those in charge of machines to run
through the streets at dangerous
and unlawful speed. Often they pass
over thoroughfares where children
are engaged in diversions and who
are paying but little attention to
passing vehicles. In some cases horns
are sounded by those in charge or
machines, but numbers fail to sound
alarms, especially in turning corners.
Il is said that 5ngels watch over NJ
tie ones. Probably they do avert
many disasters.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT

At special meeting Of the Vestry
of Christ Church, Fairfax Parish,
Virginia, held on Monday evening,
July %, 1917, the following tribute OF
respect was presented and ordered
to be recorded among the minutes OF
the Vestry.
William Albert Smoot, who for
thirty-six years was member OF
the Vestry of Christ Church, and for
seventeen years was its Senior War
den, was one of the best known and
best beloved citizens of Northern Vir,
gina.
During long, useful and exceed
ingly busy life, he was "steadfast II
the faith" true to every trust anc
untiring in his efforts for the welfare
Of his City and State.
His integrity and sterling charac
ter won for him the admiration ant
respect of all classes and creeds, ant
his many acts of charity, known only
to the recipients, endeared him to th'
poor and humble.
AS a husband, father, churchman
soldier. and citizen. his life was ex
emplary and we'll worthy of emula
ton by those who survive him.
This Vestry. by his death, has sus
tanned a great loss, and we take
pleasure in placing on our records
this slight tribute to the memory o
our fellow member, whose advice VIZ
so often sought, and whose friend
ship we so highly valued.
