THE EUCALYPTUS AND MALARIA

Before it was known that the malarial poison was introduced into the blood by mosquitoes it a common practice to plant eucalyptus, blue gum, trees in infected Right up to the end of the nineteenth century the idea commonly held that malaria caused by the pestilential exhaations which arose from the marshy ground. As is well known the eucalyptus tree produces enormous quan- titles of volatile oil that has marked antiseptic properties The disinfecting odors exhaled by the supposed to correct the harmful of the marshes This is known to be totally wrong impression, yet the fact remains that the planting of eucalyptus did result in freeing dis tricts from the infection Many might be toned, but of the striking is the instance of district about twenty miles from Algers It not possible for any to reside in the locality with contracting malaria fever in aggravated form Thirteen thousand eucalyptus trees planted the in year. Within year. malarial fever almost unknown in the district, the disease disap bearing the trees were two or three yards in height
 What is the connection between the eucalyptus and the disappearance of the maarial trouble? This has been only very recently explained There is prob ably having greater avidity for water than the eucalyptus Experiments with seedlings grown in water have shown that baby blue gum will take up the liquid extremely rapid As the blue- gums grow at a marvellous rate (often much as ten twelve is added to their height in single season. the consumption of moisture from the soil at rapidly increasing rate. Now, it is well known that the maaral poison is introduced into the blood of through the agency a certain variety of mosquito (Anopheles) and the dwelling place of these insects when in the arval stage is to be found pools of water. With the planting the eucalyp- comparatively dry. Thus the breeding places mosquitoes destroyed and the insects are no longer able to carry their pernicous activities

NJ REWARD FUR
 RDMEMbERS

Members of boards of exemption and employees of boards will not be allowed claims of rewards for the capture of deserters according to a telegram received at the office of the adjutant general from the war de- partment. So far as known no board member or employe of this state has derived wealth from this source but it has been reported to the depart ment that in some parts of the coun- try officials or employees of boards have claimed and received such le- wards.
 This new order was made in favor of persons charged with desertion as will hereinafter appear. The board passes upon the charge and may hold that the charge has been sustained or that the desertion is non -culpable; that is. that q mere failure to com- ply with the regulations of the selec- tive draft is not necessarily desertion. In such a case there would be no reward. It is feared that in some cases, the members of the board un- willing to forego the reward would hold cases to be culpable when they really were not.

Service versus Partissnship

The great big thinking body of people in America today-and the events of this war are making them think more every day-are looking for efficient pat rotic service They not particularly interested-n rartisanship and they beginning to realize that have had altogether too much partisan politics in America.
 We feel that the discussion in the senate, ducted principally between Senator Stone of Missouri a democratic leader; and Senator Boise Penrose of Pennsylvania, a republican leader, was on an ezcep- tionaly low plane Senator Lodge of Massachusetts tried the situation by bringing out the fact that the thing that needed in the departments in Washington and in congress, high standard of efficient service and that in the urgent needs of the nation everything ought to give way for service; and believe there is but one yard-stick by which the who endeavoring to perform the various features of work should be measured, and that is the yardstick of Are they making good the ob?'
 We might as well look the situation fairly in the face that the burden of winning this is day falling and upon the shoulders of America, and might well wake up to the fact that have got tremendous task our hands, and we must meet that task Americans, and not partisans. Every loyal man and woman ought to do all he can to help the government in winning this at the time those in control of the govern ment ought to be glad and willing to receive all constructive suggestions and not show disposition to brand those who insist improvement in efficiency and changes in policy which will bring better results disloyal. This cannot be by party ivy a class but by the mobilization of the entire man power financial strength and industry of this nation England has gone through number of reconstruc- tons in endeavorng to get the right men in charge of it's various war activities and it is naturally expected that America will have to go through the sitting and the quicker that all the people, regardless of politics. get this idea clearly in their minds the quicker will be doing share to win this war; and must not forget that the better do this share the thoroughly will begin to greatest asset the lives of young

Stone and His Kind

It is worthy of note and cause for qualification that only democratic senators of the calibre of Jim Ham allowed themselves to be drawn into support of Senator Stone in the partisan conflft staged by him. It should be stated also that Stones action deprecated by the administration and by those demo- cratic members of both houses mingled patriotism and solicitude for the democratic party who only harm could of such unheaval Stone designed to create The administration had every thing to lose and nothing to gain from partisan controversy, and especially from partisan contro versy having the for it's basis
 The administration had no interest in the feelings of Stone which had been ruffed when Colonel Roose- welt had called him a Hun. No doubt the admnistra- ton if it had felt at liberty speak, would have en- ployed that term itself in referring to the Missouri sppologist for Germany.
 We do not think any serious harm will result from Stones outbreak. The administration and its spokesmen in the senate had washed their hands of the whole affair in advance Republicans hold the democratic party to account for Stones utter ances and the republicans cannot allow themselves to be turned from the armed Germans in front of them by the barking of a dachshund in the rear
 They are aware also that Stone does not represent the majority of the people of his state and that when his three years the senate have expired he will pass from the political stage forever. The cleo ton of senate was the last expiring effort of the old order Such a thing could not have hap pened year later for then Missouri entering upon of regeneration It had begun throwing down the ancient idos those things which Stone and his kind had always represented among them the liquor traffic.
 That, the chief stronghold of politicians of the Stone school, is doomed Much more than half the state has gone dry voted dry since the election of Stone. Only St. Louis saved rum in the last test and such commercial boycott has since been inst- tuted against St. Louis and behalf of Kansas City, that the business nterestso the former will not again lend themselves to the support the liquor traffic
 The writer in the of a recent visit of sev- eral days at Kansas City and St Joseph heard much of Stone and it was all execraton Democrats were waiting mpatently for the end of the three years that they might this aged malignant ex- crescence forever Though they believe him far less harmful than La Toilette, that was only because he is less capable of nfcting harm But they hate him because he is their particular disgrace.

 NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-Stocks were firm to strong at the opening of to- days market, making further gains during the forenoon. This advantage was largely, if not wholly, relin- quished later, the reversal concur ring with the publication of several adverse industrial reports.
 Specialties, such as oils, tobaccos, fertilizers, leather, motors and their accessories, were again brought for ward, presumably by pools, at gross gains of l to points. These issues were among the first to recede, how ever, on the free offerings of the afternoon.
 General news in it's relation 10 quoted values was Somewhat contra dictory. Foreign advices, particular ly the cumulative indications of un- rest within the central empires, were helpful to the bull account, but this was nullified in part by the political situation in Washington.
 The money market was perceptibly easier, call loans declining to Az per cent, after opening at s per cent Short time loans also relaxed slight ly but without any pronounced in- crease of supply.
 United States Steel reacted over two points from it's best, closing at 907s, a net loss of half a point. Rails were dull. Sales, 475,000 shares.
 An advance of 21a points in Dis tillers securities was almost the sole feature of the irregular bond market Liberty 3tas sold at 9S.40 to 9s.2i first As at 97.10 to 96.7S and second As at 96.34 to 96.14.

DEATH RACE |S
 WON BY WEATHER

In a race with death with the odds of wintry weather against her, Mrs. George 0. Brisbois, of this city, lost py wide margin. Word of the passing away of her brother, AlonZo Story, to whose side she was hurry Ing, was received yesterday by Chief of Police Brisbois. The brief mes sage stated that not until she had reached Cincinnati, across the river from Covington, Ky, where her brother had been a patient in a hos pital, did Mrs. Brisbois learn that he had died on the day following her hurried departure from this city. Even then she was unable to com municate with her family at Brooks vile, Ky, 40 miles from Cincinnati, telegraph and telephone lines being out of commission and railroad traf- fife practically annulled.
 The death of Alonzo Story, oldest brother of Mrs. Brisbois, marks the third death of a brother in three years. The first to pass away was William, who died at the family home. Last summer, Otho Story, who for several years made his home in Phoenix, died after a long illness. And now the third and oldest broth- | CT mas answered the Ilnal summons | To add to her grief, a sister is in a precarious condition and her death | it is believed, will be but the matter l of short time.
 1 Mrs. Brisbois should have made the 1 trip to Cincinnati in three days, but
 because of snow storms and uncer- tain railroad conditions, five days
 were consumed. Two days more were | lost in the effort to reach her home l at Brooksville. Because the weather
 would not permit, it was found i'm
 possible to make burial of the body
 of her brother at ths time, and the
 remains were accordingly placed 1T
 a receiving vault until such time a: it is possible to place it in it's las
 resting place. Just when Mrs. Bris
 bois will return to her home in thi:
 city is uncertain.

The question had already been raised the proprety of submitting legislature special se-sion. that is a legislature whose members elected before the amendment was proposed, when tie amend ment not issue in the state The state of Tennessee has law requiring that proposed consti- tutional amendments can be considered only hy a legislature elected after the adoption by of the resolution. Perhaps other states have similar law Such a law is intended only pression of the people proposed amendments which become issues in campaigns for the election of mem bers of legislatures
 In the states where prohibition has already been established by state action it may be presumed that the legislatures may that the people have al- ready spoken that subject and that they desire the ratification the amendment. The legislature hav- ing already received it's instructions may carry them out in either special or regular session
 The legislature of Florida is under peculiar in structions in this respect It is pledged to prohbi tion suppose, to the enactment of prohibition law and would be warranted in construing it's pledge to be to ratify the national amendment though at the time of the election of the members of the legislature the probability that amendment would be submitted to quite remote. Two states have already ratified the amendment Mississippi and Virginia
 Under the resolution the ratification of the amendment may be completed within five years, so that it might be supposed that there is necessity for hurried action in special sessions. But advocates of the amendment meet this suppostion with the argument that the amendment proposed largely and that so long action upon it is delayed, so long will it's effectiveness a be withheld.

Where the People

How to Get Cheap Cement
To the Editor of The Republican.

!
 It may be some encoura cement to the taxpayers of Maricopa county to know that it will not be necessary to devote a few hundred thousand dollars to the cement manufacturers of California and Texas for the necessary cement re- quired in concrete roadmaking. The owners of the cement plant just east of our city are willing to lease or sell the plant to the county at price and on terms that may be named by parties entirely disinterested. They are will ing that the county designate the en- gineers and chemist to determine the value of the cement plant and the feas- ibility of making a Portland cement standard in quality and sufficiently ample in capacity. About sixty per cent of the taxes necessary for per manent roadmaking can be kept in circulation in this county, and large saving made in the cost of cement be- sides.

 Arrivals of corn here showed such decided increase that a general rush to sell took place. Slowness of eastern shipping inquiry added to bearish sen timent, but snow flurries and a predic- ton of colder weather operated later as something of an offset.

DO YOU FACE THINGS. OR DO YOU DODGE THEM

A writer in the January American Magazine says:
 Tom Mason wrote a remarkable little article in a New York newspaper a year or more ago in which he made the point that human beings tso many of them) just will not face things. They will duck and dodge and squirm away from an important situation rather than step right up and meet it. Of later they have to pay enormous price for their 'ducking and lodging and squrmng.
 Tn matters of health this is everlastingly true Look at the past 40 you know who try to smoke and and sit up nights if they were in the early twenties. They make themselves uncomfortable and say that they don't feet just right But they won't face things-they won't face the fact that if they to feel well and enjoy life they must revise their ways of living and adjust themselves to changed con- ditions.
 This willingness to face things comes pretty being what marks continuously successful man. It is certainly what marks wise man in questions pertaining health There is nothing but trouble in store for the man who insists on blundering ahead with his shut

road tracks any day Of the week ex-
cept Saturday and Sunday.
Okra thrives on any good soil and
the seeds should be sown in rows to
5 feet apart, after all danger of frost
is past. About the sams time when
tomato plants are set into the open.
The plants should be thinned until
they set about two feet in the rows.
The edible portion of the plants is
the pods which must be gathered
while young. They are used in soups
or as a stewed vegetable.
Bush and pole string beans are
among the most valuable and depen-
dable crops of a garden. "When in
doubt what to plant, make it BEANS"
Beans thrive best in ratn warm,
sandy loan, but will grow in host any
kind Of soil. For the best results the
soil should not be too rich in nitro
eenous matter, or the plants will run
to foliage and stems, at the expense
Of the crop. Beans will not with
stand frost, and the first paintings
in the Spring should not be made un-
til about two weeks after the aver
age date of the last killing frost. The
soil should be in good condition and
the rows should be laid out perfect
ly straight so as to make cultivation
easy. One pint Of seed of most va
rieties Of beans is sufficient to plant
a 100 foot row. When the cultiva-
ton is done by a horse the rows
should be from 80 to 36 inches apart.
When hand cultivation to be en-
ployed, the rows should be from 13
to "a inches apart. It requires from
40 to 60 days for snap beans to be
ready for use if the weather condi-
tions are favorable.
Successive paintings Of snap beans
should be made at intervals of ten
days to two weeks throughout the
growing season. By following this
scheme a constant supply of your
crop will be on hand.
