Splendid Meeting.

The Preparedness Meeting held here
on Thursday Of last week under the SUI
pervision of the County Preparedness
Committee was big success. A large
number Of our citizens turned out and
gave the speakers of the occasion an en-
thusiastic welcome. The town hall in
which the meeting was held was com
pletely filled and standing room could
not be had. DR.. Louis c. Carrico, pre-
sided over the meeting. The speakers
were Governor Harrington, Prof. T. B.
Syinons, of the Agricultural Depart
ment, and Prof Richardson, of the
State College of Agriculture. While
all of the speakers were given strict at
tention and received much applause,
Governor Harrington appeared to ap-
peal especially to our people The Gov
ernor made strong and vigorous speech
in sounding the call to our people to
properly prepare for this war in raising
sufficient foodstuffs. Prof. Richardson
drove home some telling things, par
ticularly when he called upon the farm
ers to organize if they are to expect to
get fair and adequate prices for the pro-
duce raised by them on the farm. He
called their attention to the fact that
every other avocation was thoroughly
organized. If the farmers fail to or
ganize and protect their interests after
listening to the speeches delivered or
Thursday last they have only themselve.
to blame.
Much of the success OF the meeting
was due to the efforts of Mrs. w. I
Mcpherson, to whom we extend oul
congratulations.

Death of w. Grafton Bateman.

w. Grafton Bateman, aged IS
years, died at his palatial home, IA
Grove Terrace, Passaic, N. J., at 8
A. NJ, May is, 1917. Death came
quietly after a year of suffering. He
had been confined to his home for
months with stomach trouble.
Mr.. Bateman was formerly of
Charles County and brother OF A.
Bradford Bateman of the Fifth Dis
trict. He was consistent Democrat
and always found in line while living
here and had many friends and fol
lowers. Nineteen years ago, moving
to Passaic, N. J., he entered the busi-
ness life and was very successful in
real estate and insurance. He con-
tinued to take an active part in poll
tics, becoming the leader of the
Democratic party in the county and
town of Passaic, was elected as coun-
Gilman, served as police judge, APP
pointed by President Wilson, while
Governor of New Jersey, to the hon
ored position of Tax Commissioner
and was president Of the board, serv-
ing out his time and re-appointed by
the present Governor, which place he
held until his death.

Success in gardening is likely to de-
pend quite as much on knowing
something about insects as on know
ing about the plants themselves. Even
though the plants in a garden have
plenty OF food, water, and sunshine,
they sometimes must also have pro-
lection against certain enemies IL
they are to grow well. These enc
mics may be insects, as well as mi
cro-organisms. Anything that has
life is an organism. Micro" means
small. Heterogeneous, then, are
very small plants and animals.)
Two Glasses of Insects:
Insects that injure plants may be
divided into two classes: First, those
insects that suck the sap OF plants in
manner similar to the way that
mosquitoes suck the blood Of ami
mails; and second, those that bite off
a piece Of leaf or other part of a
plant and eat it.
Biting Insects: Insects often. bite
off and eat small pieces OF the leaves
OF such plants as bean, beet, melon,
cucumber, squash. and cabbage, grad
ually devouring the whole leaf. By
busting the leaves with a mixture OF
pound OF arscnate OF lead in 25
pounds of Stacked lime the insects
may be killed. Another method, and
one which is considered the best. is
to spray the leaves with mixture OF
pound of arsenate OF lead in so gal
Ions of water. This mixture may be
applied with spray pump or with
broom. Keep it stirred to prevent
the arsenate of lead from settling to
the bottom.
Wire dish covers or mosquito net
ting placed upon a frame may some
times be used to cover young cucum-
Der or melon plants The dish covers
should be painted to prevent rusting.
Next week sucking insects will be

WELCH.--In sad and loving remem-
brance of my dear mother, Mary c.
WEIGH, who departed this life two years
ago, May 2sth, 1918.
Loved in life; in death remembered.
Hour by hour saw her fade
And slowly sink away.
Yet in my heart | often prayed.
That she might longer stay.
Dear mother, how could give you up,
You whom l loved so well;
Her memory is as dear to-day
As in the hour she passed away.
! often sit and think of you,
When | am all alone,
For memory is the only thing that grief
can call its own.

MRS. JOHN w. OWEN.
