Every American today breathes more
freely. We may be going to disaster:
but that is not important provided we
go like men.
The United States has ceased TO wa
yer and delay. We have asserted our
rights amongst the nations. We have
retained our seli-respect.
Most important of all from today
forth the word American will be
used as term OF respect instead OF as
an epithet.

part of the evening in describing
the effects which that religion has
upon those who embrace it. She
first stated the bad results Of
their belief, viz, it makes them
bloodthirsty, cruel, crafty and
licentious; they never forgive an
enemy and are taught to believe
if they can kill one Christian
they are sure of Heaven.
Mrs. Morton believes one of
the good results of the present
war will be to drive the Turks
out of Europe, a long wished for
contamination.
One of the hardest features in
the work of missionaries is to
overcome the suspicion created
in the native Indian by such
schools or colleges as Annie
Besants' Theosophy College.
Among the good qualities OF
the Mohammedan are, the wor-
ship of one god, to whom he
prays at least five times every
day; his loyalty to his friends
and religious principals.
Perhaps one OF the most inter
esting features of Mrs. Morton's
address was the many personal
illustrations used.
Vashon surely is fortunate in
having so capable and intelligent
a woman TO direct the education
al development of its children.
AS one who had the pleasure
of hearing the address, ! desire
to take this opportunity to ex-
press my appreciation, JIG.

Vashon High School Notes
ALLEN PEYsER, Editor-in-chIef


A statement was made some
time ago by a correspondent for
The Record that the water at
Vashon High School was impure
and was the cause of many
cases of sickness among the
pupils. However, an examina-
ton by experts showed the wat
er TO be pure, clean and entirely
satisfactory.

Principal Vashon High School:
We are in receipt of the sample of
water submitted by you and beg to ad-
wise that we fail to find any evidence
sample of water. Yours truly,
r. d. futile, Commissioner
A report of this kind is ser
ious, for it reflects on those in
authority, Evidently, though,
whoever is responsible for it
made his examination of the
water by looking at the tank
from the road.
On Wednesday morning Roy
Todd spoke on the efforts of the
United States to make peace,
and President Wilson'S recent
note to the bellegerents in that
cause, Unfortunately, later dew
elopments indicate that it is inn
possible to stop the war and also
it may be impossible to keep our
own country at peace.
On Friday the German classes
under Miss Sutton sang in
chorus a German hunting song.
1t was especially enjoyed by the
rest of the students. The Latin
and French classes must now
take their turn at entertaining.

Fall WebVorm is
Causing Much Damage.

A serious outbreak of the fall
webworm has occurred in portions
of southern Louisiana, the cater.
pillars becoming full grown about
July LIST. Injury is especially Sc
we're on willow, gum, pear, persim.
mon, mulberry and peach trees.
After devouring the foliage, of
which they are especially fond, the
caterpillars fed upon a great varie-
ty of plants, including some field
and garden crops.
1t is possible that the next gen.
GRAFTON of caterpillars which will
appear shortly will also be a very
destructive one in Louisiana.
Farmers should for the appear
ance of the small, young caterpil-
lars, which form over the foliage
upon which they feed" Gays T. H.
Jones, chronological assistant, U.
S. Department of Agriculture.
Spraying the cultivated trees,
shrubs, vines, and other plants up
on which they appear, with an ar
senical poison will kill the cater
pillars and prevent further damage.
For this purpose arsenate of lead
at the rate OF three pounds of the
powdered form or six pounds of
the paste form to fifty gallons of
water is recommended. Spraying
should be done when the worms
are small-or soon as possible after
they have issued from the eggs
in order that as little vegetation as
possible be destroyed" IL. S. U.
