seoErHALs. AND HIS AIDES.

There can be no surprise that Gen. eral Goethals has taken the s;eourse which he. has adeemed necessary in view of developrnents,s to overcome the embarrassment which he has ex- perfenced in directing the task of ship construction,s--by -by diseharging the as sistant general manager of the erner- gency fleet corporation, F. A Husttsl and his assistant, F. Huntington Clark. sf s.esFs sE5s= !: ::
 The friction between these officials arose over the question as ito what kind of ships should be- constructed to meet the requirements of the ma tfosl General Goethals, following a thorough investigation, reached the conclusion that steel ships could be built ands should be built 1.-the coun- try was going to get the service which is required of new vessels. both now and in the future. This; decision was contrary to the opinfor of the men who were assigned; to him as aides, and they have not only given voice to their opinions. but they have is-: sued a statement to the effect that General Goethais was halting the cor- struction of wooden vessels by pre- scribihg an impossible form of con- tract and that he had turned down the proposals of wooden ship building firms because they insisted upon the ten per cent. basis of prof1t.e.ss7.es=s- .ssa.
 These aides are the ones. who origi- mated the wooden ship building plan and 1t is to be gathered that they did not take kindly toAtfe manner in which their superior sided against them, but in attacking their chief 1t must be appreciated that they made bad error of judgment. If they did not agree and could rot reconcile themselves to the programme which General Goethals has laid out, they should have resigned. They chose another course, however, and in view of their conduct General Goethals could do nothing else. They are entitled to their epinions but when plan has been adopted it remains for subordinate officials to lend, their best efforts to the successful carry ing out thereof. or to get out and. let others do so, butt. when they fail to do both and attempt to interfere there is no other course than to displace them. There Is no room for rrapet1f- ments whether steel or wooden ships are being constructed.

 Most garden plant diseases are caused by some sort of fungus. says today's bulletin from the National Emergency Food Garden Conmis Sion of Washington. Fungus is fought with remedies called fungicidess The best garden fungfcide1 is bordeaux mixture. It is ch ca ply and easily made This is the formula for , gallons of 1t: Copper suIphate Cor blue
 stone9 ................. ounces Lump lime .......-.......- ounces Water ................... gallons
 You can get the blue stone and lump r(hnsiaked lime at any seedman's, or a druggist eanspEocuFe@ them for you. Dissolve the blue stone in ? quarts of earthefl crock When it is dissolved dilute it with cold water to make 2 1-2 gallons Then s1ake' the. lime with water and dilute it with water until you have i-2 gallons. Finally pour the 4bluestone solution slowly into the lime water, stirring hard with a pad dle. and you have bordeaux mixture.
 Next you may, need a contact ,pois- on to kill sucking insects. One of the best of these is made from nicotine sulpnate. called black leaf 4e." An ounce of the nicotine and ounce. of laundry. soap and 4 gallons of water make this spray. Simply dissolve the soap and mix it and the nicotine with the water The soap makes the nico- tine stick to the plant leaves.
 You can use bordeaux instead of water in this solution and this fight sucking insects and fungous diseases with the same spraying You can buy nicotine snlphafe' from almost .aIiy seed house, or g. druggist can get 1t

 At this seaeon one of the most at tracffve locations aiong the banks of fl1e TAaInes River is Decatur Heighess now the properIy Of Charles H. Brown, Of Norwich, and long famous as "a look-out point. It is about six miles below Norwichss on the opposite side of the 'riversfroEn the Mehegan Reser- vatfoE. ss ss<-
 In carrier times. the fort of Tncas was in full view from the site the general prospect being wide and far reaching.

 it was in May, 1913, that the frisates United States and Maeedonian, and the s;oop-of-war Hornet, ire attempt ing: to pass put Of: Long Island Sound on a cruise. were driven back by the. enemy's squadron that was hovering near the outlet. and were forced to. take refuge in New London.- harbor. Here they were bloekaded by the en erfyss ships. and being still apprehen- siveA of an attack from force far superior tp their own, they retired up. the river 0a the 41oth@of June. passing the bar at Gales Ferry and coming within three miles Of Norwich.

GET WISDOM.

On a hot July day. Daniel Webster was helping his father in the hay field when man rode by on horseback. The elder Webster strengthened up, mopped,@ his brow and surveyed the stranger with interest. Then he ad- dressed the lad beside him:
 .sMy son.. that is a worthy man; he is a. member of Congress-; he goes to Philadelphia and gets six dollars a day while I toll here It is because he had an education, which never had Exert yourself. improve your opportunities, learn. learn, and when I am gone you will not need to go through the hardships which I have undergone. and which have made me an old man before my time '~Ff :
 One may not. support the proposi- tion that the farmers life, is any less honorable or rewarding than the leg ielator's. Especially today, when -des- tinies of nations are being fought out in wheat fields and potato patches, must we refuse such a conclusion. The point of the old farmers hayfeld homily is, however, clear. It is true now, as in all past ages that knowl- edge Is power. Success comes to him who knows.

"Wisdom is the principal tkiue;
 therefore get wisdom" The man who
 wrote these words was the richest
 man of his time. His coffers were full of gold: his cattle browsed on a hum dred hillsides; his domestic establish ment was the most extensive of an tiquity. He was a soldier, a philoso-
 pher, car ptain of industry. And these
 words express the rfpest conviction of
 his life. They represent his supreme
 idea. Solomon was thoroughly com mitted to the proposition that Wis dom is betterathar rubies, and knowl-
 edge than fine gold.'-45.s s7a-a- -.sf
 Millions. of American parents seem
 to confirm this Judgment of the
 worlds richest man. Above almost anything else they want their boys
 and girls to know something. They scrinp and save that Henry and Ma lfd may have an education Behind thous $

 gle and sacrifice, if one could know the whole truth. s 5s ss.a!@.,s - j =. It is to be hoped that these young
 people have gained something in
 school beside a. mere collection of facts. It is-welIa to know. facts, but there is something better than that. and beyond it. It is the ability to use facts intelligently, to meditate upon them and make them servtceable
 Ones head may be crowded with bits of informant ton; he may hold a who1ef empire of knowledge in his brain, and be- hardly the better for it,. The things he knows may be only so much mental' lumber kicking about and never made into anything useful. In how many cases 1t is true, to borrow

 The fear of the Lord is the begin ming ofFwisdom." Does that seem a preachy and prosy dictum to our young graduate with beribboned di- ploma in hand? He will find therein the ultimate truth that life teaches LIS all. Says H. Wells in the great est novel thus far produced by the war, MT.
