Amsterdam, June Emperor
William in reviewing troops on the
western front, made a speech in
which, according to Berlin tele-
gram yesterday, said:
81 express to the troops gathered
here my fullest appreciation of
their conduct and my firm conf

ever they may be employed. will.
trusting in Cod, do their duty and
succeed in gaining the peace for the
fatherland which we need for its
further development.
81 am especially delighted to be
able once more to congratulate the
well-tried dragoon regiment of Bay

regiment fulfilled the expectations
of its supreme war lord and accom-

POPLAR BLUFF IS PLANNING
Rig DAY ON 4TH OF JULY

Reports are coming in that one
of the biggest celebrations of recent
years will be staged in Poplar Bluff
on the 4th of July. That city is
making most exteu sive preparations
to entertain record-breaking
crowd. A great patriotic parade
headed by a Company of National
Guard, noted speakers and a racing
program are some, of the more spec
tacular features of the day. The
celebration is being given under the
auspices of the Butler County Fair
Association and is being promised
generous support by all the friends
of the Fair. Poplar Bluff is known
for never doing things by half and
royal time is promised those who
accept the invitation to attend their
big celebration. "29

MAKE IDLE MEN
EARN THEIR WAY
Many Communities Arc Dealing En-
ergetically With Those Who
Loaf.

One of the good things being ac-
complished by the county councils
of defense at various places in the
United States is the adoption of a
policy of inducing every man in
their respective communities to
work during the period of the war.
The policy seems to be very APP
plicable one for every community.
The state council in West Virginia
has given evidence of that spirit
by calling upon the county units to
enforce the measure of requiring
men to abandon idleness. In many
large cities the police have declared
war on the chronic vagrant, requir-
ing him either to go to work or to
show why he cannot work. The old
plea of no work will not suffice.
for in most cases it can be shown
there is work for all who will seek
it.
This movement is manifestation
of the spread of the belief that the
war must be carried on with as
little disturbance as possible to reg
ular business. 1t is contended by
many that the reserve force OF the
country is sufficient to take care of
a large part of the war burden. Idle
land, idle men. idle factories, idle
money can. they believe. be set to
work either directly upon war pro-
jects. or used to replace resources
called into the government service.
The idle man problem is only one of
several schemes for accelerating the
country's productiveness, but it is

vegetables and other valuable
crops.
The surveys in Mexico to deter
mine the distribution of the pink
boil worm would be made cooper
atively with Mexican authorities and
ultimately would be the basis for
determining the possibility of un-
dertaking, in cooperation with the
Mexican government, the eXtermin-
alton of the pest in that country.
If it should be determined, Secre-
tary Houston points out, that it is
feasible to eXterminate the pink
factory cooperation with the gov
eminent of Mexico should be ar
ranged, the most effective and eco
nomical method of preventing the
entrance of the pest into the Unit
ed States would be to undertake its
determination in Mexico. This
probably would involve large ex-
penditures. but the nature of the
emergency might fully justify them
The determination of local in.
feStations in Mexico near the Unit
ed States border would be under
taken with the cooperation of the
Mexican government or local Mex
lean authorities. By this means the
pest should be kept so much the
farther from the cotton fields of
the United States.
Fifty thousand dollars was made
Immediately available in the reg
ular agricultural appropriation bill
for 1918, approved March 4, 1917,
to prevent the establishment of the
pink boil worm in the United States.
This fund is now being used, the
secretary states, in inspecting and
safeguarding the territory surround
ing ten cotton seed oil mills in
Texas which had received consider
able quantities of seed from Mex
leo before the importation of seed
was prohibited, and in the inspec-
ton of border commerce and the
enforcement of the cotton seed
quarantine.
In suming up the need for the
emergency appropriation of $780,
900, Secretary Houston says in his
letters to the committee chairmen:
THE pink boil worm situation in
Mexico proves grave menace to
the cotton crop of the United States,
and the nation should not fail to
adopt any measure of control which
appears to offer protection from this
pest. The appropriation now request
ed is a matter of the greatest ur-
gency and to be of service should
be made available at the earliest
possible date"

No set rule regarding a mans

He may be unable to find work in

and hoboes. however. are able to

The pink boil worm, Secretary
Houston tells the committee chair
men, is distributed in Mexico much
more generally than was at FIRST
supposed. 1t now extends through
the entire LaGuna district, cover
ing an area of some $4,000 square
miles. Seed for planting has been
sent from this district to other
points in Mexico nearer the United
States, undoubtedly carrying in
festatiOn to those districts. The
danger to the United States has
been heightened recently by the es-
Enlistment of cotton seed oil
mill at Piedras Niegras on the Mex
ican-Texas border to which large
quantities of seed infested by pink
legations by specialists of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture show that mature insects
capable of flight for considerable
distances have been emerging from
the seed stored at this border town
within a few miles of Texas cotton
fields.
The importation of seed cotton
and cotton seed from Mexico into
the United States was prohibited as
soon as the presence of the pink
worm in Mexico was discovered late
last summer. In addition the impor-
tation of cotton seed products will
be safe guarded by regulations to be
issued soon. II is contemplated that
the emergency appropriation, if it
is made available, will be used to
fight against the entrance of the
pest by the creation of cottoa-
free zone so to 100 miles wide in
Texas next to the Mexican border,
by the making of surveys in Mexi-
co, if practicable, to determine the
actual distribution of the insect,
and by the determination of local
infestations in Mexico near the Am
erican border.
The proposed cotton-free zone
would be established in co-opera-
ton with the state of Texas. the
of the state already having
indicated their desire SO to CO.
operate. The growing of cotton in
such zone would be effectively
prohibited by the PRONUNCIATION of
federal and state quarantine pro-
hibiting the movement from the
state or within the state of any
cotton grown in the zone. Some
I 200 bales of cotton are grown in
the area to be included in the pro
posed cotton-free zone and most
of the tillable land is adapted to
