New Potato Insect.

A remarkable epidemic has destroyed
many potato vines during the past season.
E. D. Ball says in Science: "The margins of
the leaves of early varieties turned brown.
the dead areas gradually widening until the
leaves dried up and the whole field took on
burned appearance. In severe cases the
stalks also withered and died.
Every potato section of Wisconsin was
affected and a careful study by the writer
showed that in every case the injury was
directly proportioned to the number of 20
tato leaf-hoppers present. The nymphs of
this species feed on the undersides of the
leaves and first produce wrinkling of the
whole surface, with slight upward rolling
of the margin, and then the marginal burn
ing appears. Long after the leaf-hoppers
have acquired wings and flown away it is
possible to determine the cause of the dam
age by observing the cast skins adhering
to the under surfaces and the egg scars in
the mid rib or veins of the burned leaves"

LET HIM LIVE.

AS long as the flowers their perfume give,
So long I'd let the kaiser live
Live and live for a million years,
With nothing to drink but Belgian tears;
With nothing to quench his awful thirst
But the sailed brine of a ScOtchman's curse.
l would let him live on a dinner each day,
Served from silver on golden tray;
Served with things both dainty and sweet
Served with everything but things to eat.
| would make him bed of silken sheen
With costly linens to lie between;
With covers of down and FLEETS Of lace,
And downy pillows piled in place
Yet when to its comforts he would yield
1t would stink with the rot of the battlefield
And blood and brains and bones of men
Should cover him, smother him, and then
His pillow should cling with a rotten clay,
Clay from the grave of a soldier boy;
And while Gods stars their vigils keep,
And while the waves the white sands sweep.
He should never, never sleep.
And through all the days, through all the
years
There should be an anthem in his ears,
Ringing and singing and never done,
From the edge Of light to the set Of sun.
Moaning and moaning and moaning wild,
ravaged French girls bastard child
And I'd build him a castle by the sea-
AS lovely a castle as ever could be-
Then I'd show him a ship from over the sea,
AS fine ship as ever could be,
Laden with water cold and sweet,
Laden with everything good to eat
Yet scarce does she touch the silvered sands,
Scarce may he reach out his eager hands,
Than hot and hellish molten shell
Would change his heaven into hell.
And though he'd watch by the wave-swept
shore,
Our Lusitania would rise no more.
mo Mans Land where the Irish fell,
I'd start the kaiser private hell;
I'd lab him, stab him, give him gas,
And in each wound I'd pour ground glass.
d march him out where the brave boys died,
Out past the lads he crucifed.
In the fearful gloom Of his living tomb
There is one thing I'd do before | was
through
I'd make him sing in stirring manner
The wonderful words of "The Star Spangled
Banner. Selected.

Flu" Frightened.


The influenza, or la grippe, whichever you
prefer to call it, has thrown scare into
the American people from the Lakes to the
Gulf, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
The fact that it has has increased the
death rate, because fear and worry are val
liable aids to the ravages Of any disease.
If some ''inspired IDIOT with apologies
to the Macon Telegraph, had not resurrect-
ed the od-time name of influenza, prefix
ing it with a furrin title, we would not to-
day see the whole nation recoing in fear
from disease that is prevalent IN some
form every year.
To be sure, it is worse than usual, this
being resultant, no doubt, from the fact
that in the army environments tens of thous-
ands of soldiers have been modified from
all over the country. They have come from
different climates and in changing modes
of living and habits of life colds were &C
quired, and these not being considered Sc
rious enough to warrant medical attention
were allowed to develop and progress This
being true, the natural consequences are
being reaped.
While conditions are more or less alarm
ing, or have been, in some sections, there
is no reason for everybody, all at once, to
lose their heads. If So then we may expect
the worst. Our advice, if it were sought,
would be to forget it, and move full speed
ahead.
Some of the rumOrs about the affilctiOn
are gruesome enough to bring on an cpl
demic of anything from the old-fashoned
collie to the bubonic plague. First, there
was the report that three physicians at Fort
OglethOrpe had been shot at sunrise for in
jecting influenza germs into the arms of the
soldiers. Next it was circulated that the
Chattanooga undertaking establishments
were running over with corpses, and that
traffic was abandoned in order to give over
the streets to hearses followed by long fun
eral corteges and longer faces And a lot
of other sensational stuff which it ought to
be a crime to circulate.
1t would be interesting to know where
these infamous rumors originate. They
sound like German propaganda, and it
ought to be considered disloyal to circulate
any report that even suggests Potsdam
People who sit around and talk disease
and death help bring them on. Peddling
this kind of gossip does a great deal of harm
and can under no circumstances do any
good
Spanish influenza! Maybe so. Forget it,
and thus help get rid of it.

DAYLIGHT SAVING.

Mr. Barney Baruch who purchases al
most everything under the sun for the gov
eminent, believes the present time schedule
should continue the year round. Perhaps
Mr.. Baruch would buy the sun for the gov
eminent were he able to do so, and the gov
eminent wanted it. But neiher Mr. Baruch
nor the government runs the sun-the sun
seems to run them, and about everything
else. The sun has pretty well demonstrated
the fact that at present there is little or
nothing in the so-called daylight saving.
Between the equinox the schedule, per-
haps, saved considerable daylight, especially
when people arose in the morning on clock
time. But since the fall equinox the large
majority of people have been using about
as much artificial light in the morning as
they would otherwise burn in the evening
AS winter succeeds fall they are going to
use a great deal more artificial light; they
will use it both mornings and evenings In
winter time there is mighty little chance to
save daylight north of the equator. More
can be saved on sun time than on clock
time.

AS TO PEANUTS

1t is conditions and not the value of the
product itself that is just now affecting the
market for peanuts; and the state bureau
of markets urges Georgia producers not to
rush their crop to market to the sacrifice of
price Because they are just now over-crowd-
ed with cotton seed many of the oil mills
are independent as to peanuts, and are Of
fering prices which the bureau believes
is very much below their value.
Attention is called to the fact that pea
nuts are just as acceptable to the federal
reserve bank as collateral as is cotton. It
is not even necessary that they should be
stored in a bonded warehouse, as advances.
may be obtained upon them on receipt
from any reputable warehouse.

AFTER PEACE LEGISLATION.

Two measures are pending in the United
States senate which are intended to pave
the way for national policies after the close
of the war. One resolution was introduced
by Senator Weeks, of Massachusetts, and
the other by Senator Overman of North
Carolina. While both pretend to seek the
same results political lines are already
drawn. on the measures, and the line of
cleavage between the two political parties
for the reconstruction period will become
apparent as the measures are considered
The Weeks measure provides for a con-
gressional commission from the two branch
es of congress equally divided between dem
ocrats and republicans. The Oveman reso-
luton provides for the appointment by the
president of a commission with minority
party representation.
1t will be regrettable if the course adopt
ed before the contamination of the present
struggle divides the councils of the nation
when unity of purpose is imperative Yet
the facts do not disturb an intelligent peo-
pie, nor the discussion of them confuse
any but the unthinking.

MEDICAL HUMBUCGERY.

Until the beginning of the war American
physicians could hardly hope for high recog-
milton in their profession unless they had
studied abroad, either at Vienna or some
Of the institutions Of Germany Many of
them were convinced the results attained
were not in keeping with the increased
standing which they gave to those who took
the course. But there was a demand for
physicians trained in Germany, and many
of the profession either had taken or had
planned to take the work which the public
eXacted as a preliminary to enlarged fields
Of service. As a rule they were accepted
on the claims made by their proprietors.
Many Of them have been unmasked by the
war, and their fraudulent character is now
on a par with that of the preparation of
the charlatan and the quack
A few years ago the announcement of
a speedy and complete remedy for one of
the ills against which medical science had
battled in vain created a sensation in the
medical world. Under the designation of
1905" the commercial name of which was
salvarsan, the preparation had brief sue
cess, which rapidly diminished as the cura-
tive claims were found to be ungrounded.
When the American medical fraternity were
beginning to discontinue the use of the
preparation Germany stepped forward with
the announcement of an Improvement This
improvement was new-salvarsan, but the
medical world soon was convinced that it
was nothing but the old preparation under
another name. The merit of the medicine
may be judged from the fact that when it
was first announced it was said one dose,
which was injected into the system, would
effect a complete cure. This failed, and
gradually the number of doses was increas-
ed to twenty, to thirty and to sixty, and
then American physicians questioned its
curative qualities
For third of century the German
manufacturing chemists have fattened up
on the impositions they foisted upon the
American public. Neither the courses in
German institutions nor the remedies which
were so boastingly Haunted by German
scientists had the merit which the American
public attributed to them. The war has
shaken off the fetish, and hereafter Ameri-
can physicians will stand erect and proud
Of the fact that they are the products of
American institutions, and that they are
able to depend on the research of Amer
lean scientists in keeping pace with the
progress Of materia medica.

Birds Beat Birdmen.

In spite of the wonderful speed obtained
by birdmen, birds can beat them flying. An
ordinary swallow can travel 12O miles in
an hour, and there is a record of a swallow
that flew from Antwerp to Compeigne, 148
miles, in SO minutes, attaining an average
speed of 1913 miles an hour
The swoopirg vulture whizzes Though
the air at 149 miles an hour. One hundred
miles an hour IS good rate to travel for
a birdman. However, aeroplanes are CON
stantly being improved, and some are ex-
ceedingly speedy; 108 to 1875 miles an hour
has been claimed at the front but at this
speed the aeroplane is in constant danger.
Birds can fly for "a hours at a stretch, but
eight hours flying is sufficient for an avia-
tor. As yet no aviator can cross the Atlant-
&c ocean, but cuckoos travel from Eng
land to Africa,
1t has been estimated that at 10000 feet
altitude kites and hawks can see field mice.

those of man.

"The Cause"


Is woman's suffrage a war measure? Is
it impossible for the allies to outmaneuver
the Germans in France without allowing
sippi? In what manner could the Susan B.
Anthony amendment contribute to the sue
cess of the American army in the trenches?
If President Wilson was correct in his form
err position that suffrage was an issue that
should be determined by the states affected
on what does he base his reversal of opin-
ion?
The News commends Senators Hoke Smith
and Thomas W. Hardwick, of Georgia, for
their vote and fight against the adoption of
this silly amendment, and it is equally graf
flying to know that Georgia's delegation in
the lower house voted as a unit against the
same bill last year.
Georgia's senators and representatives
were sent to Washington to represent GeOr-
gia in all legislation involving states rights,
and not to respond to the solicitations of
gang of masculine women who should be
excluded from the capitol until after the
war.
How can allowing women to vote for a
bailiff down in Shakerag district, Fayette
county, Georgia, affect the result Of bat
tie in France?
From the women, Heaven bless them, the
News would withhold nothing capable Of
promoting their health and happiness, but
the Creator was not mistaken when He
elucidated a certain principle in Genesis,
following the apple episode in the Garden
of Eden.
