ASK HAGERTY To
AID DRY FIGHT.
Members of St. AdeIbert'S
Church Shower Senator
With Postal Cards.

INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. 24-Em-
ploying brewery sandbagging tactics
better calculated TO make wet"
votes than dry" ones, parishiOners
of St Adelbert's church. of which
Rev. John Kubacki is pastor Tues
day bombarded Sen. Charles A.
Hagerty with postal cards. half
threatening him with retirement
from public life if he fails TO vote
for the statewide prohibition bill.
and the other half promising him
political rewards in case he does
vote for it,
Fully 500 Of these cards were re-
ceived by Sen. Hagerty, who regards
them as a cross between a threat
and attempt 10 bride, or at least un-
duly influence his vote. and, in his
indignation. the cards being open
to public reading, il is not beyond
the range of possibility that they
viii be referred to the post office
department at Washington for in
vestigation as violation of the postal
laws.
Summers also gets Some.
Both Sens. Hagerty and Summers
were flooded with letters. kilograms
and petitions Tuesday. urging them
TO vote for these state wide prohi-
bition bills.
Several letters were also received
from liquor dealers and their lieu
tenants urging them 10 vote against
the bill, but all save the postal cards
from st. Adelbert's parish were re-
ceived as light on what the people
want back home.
1T will make no difference with
my attitude towards the prohibition
measure" said Sen. Hagerty, "as
shall eliminate those people entirely
from my consideration. If | vote for
or against prohibition, il will be in
spite of them, rather than because
of them. 1 refuse to be sand bagged
either way"
Cards Playing Big Part.
With the Wright prohibition bill
passed TO engrossment in the house,
an exact duplicate of the Dorrell
senate bill, it looks as though pro-
hibition so far as this legislature Is
concerned. will be settled in a few
days. The main fight will be in the
senate where the st. Adelbert cards
having come TO light are being
strenuously employed by those OPP
posed to the bill, TO prejudice SEN
ators against it.
1T is just another case Of a good
cause being made 10 suffer at the
hands of unwise friends" said Sen.
/ Dorrell i'm seeking to resist the in
| fuence Of the cards. The greatest
fear of both sides of the issue now
| is that the bombardment has so en-
| barrassed Sen. Hagerty that he can
scarcely vote on the measure at all
without appearing to have been in
duenced one way or the other. He
| declares. however, that he means TO
def the assault, and will vote just
as he likes.
The post cards are printed, all OF
them exactly alike. and are dated
| Jan. 20, being mailed at South Bend,

/ a single individual, and a number of
the signatures, in different groups,
are i'm the same handwriting.

ELLISON McKISSICK
RECEIVES COMMISSION

Ellison McKissick, son of Col A. F.
McKissick Of Greenwood has received
his commission as first lieutenant in
the Engineers Division of the United
States army. He went in training at
Ft. Oglethorpe, Ga, in May, and was
then sent to Bellevoir, Va, and from
there into camp at the American Uni
versity, Washington, ID. c..
He is the grandson of Col. |. G.. Nc
Kissick, who was lieutenant colonel in
the Confederate army and wounded
at the battle of Cold Harbor and a
nephew of Lieut.. E. j. McKissick, who
was killed at the battle of Seven
Pines, near Richmond. He is the first
descendant of Col. |. G.. McKissick to
hold commission in the United
States army, and is a soldier by inheri.
tance as well as by profession. Union
county soil gave birth to Col. 1. G.
McKissick, and his body sleeps in the
cemetery here. Col. A. f. McKissick
now man of large affairs in Green.
wood, is also a native of Union. Young
McKissick is, therefore, by descent
son of Union county, and there vii
be many Union people who will watch
the career of this promising young
man with deep interest.

The efforts of Mr.. Hoover

The efforts of Mr.. Hoover in the
direction of eliminating waste and
saving food stuffs are meeting with
commendable success. Our people are
learning to be less wasteful and more
proyident, This is very good indeed.
Now let business go on with a deter
mination that is none the less marked.
There is no need for frenzied fear
and for going half starved and poorly
clad. The fact is, people are work
ing harder; they are earning more;
they will spend more. The difference
is, we will spend more for that which
benefits and less for that which hurts.
This is good, very good.

TOMATOES AND OTHER VEGE.
TABLES INJURED.

Mr.. j. H. Bartles showed The Times
representative several specimens of
diseased vegetable roots. Tomato
plants, cabbage plants and several
other vegetables in Mr.. Bartles' gar
den have been attacked by what is
commonly known as "root-knot." The
roots of the plants are attacked by
the disease and become enlarged and
knotty in appearance. No doubt this
disease is quite common in our gar
dens, but we have not learned to de-
termine its presence. 1t can be gotten
rid of, according to experts, at little
cost IF one knows just how to go
about it. The following directions
have been given by those in position
to know: Take four pounds of pow
dered bluestone and dissolve it in a
wooden vessel Git will generally re-
quire "a hours); dissolve five pounds
of unslaked lime in a sufficient guam
tity of water. Mix the dissolved blue
stone in 50-gallon barrel of water,
to which should be added half pound
of Paris green (or its equivalent of
arsenate of lead. Fill the barrel
with water, stir thoroughly and the
mixture is ready for use. 1t should
always be stirred before using. Put
this on the young plants from the
time they are four or five inches high,
and after they are set out, continue
the use twice a week or at least twice
every ten days. Spray plants thor
oughly until they begin to bloom. The
mixture will kill blooms, but will not
injure fruit. This will give vigorous
plants free from wilt and fungus rot.

Whether the recent reports that
Germany is evolving towards democ-
racy be true or false, we believe the
future will bring that boon to the
German people. The spirit is in the
air! and nothing can stay it's coming.
Whatever may be the present outcome
of the Russian situation; the future,
we verify believe, will witness splen-
did democracy in that great country.
And, as to China, we have never
doubted the outcome in that vast coun-
try. Democracy, though just how
painful a process we cannot say, is
coming. The world belongs to the
people who inhabt it, and the people
are going to come into their own. If
there be no other reason than that
we are in the war to uphold democ-
racy, that reason is all-sufficient. It
is worth fighting for. 1t is well-nigh
the only thing that is worth that price.
The very near future is going to
witness the full glory of this great
principle.
