POTATO BLIGHT
is THREATENING
County Agent Bartlett and Specialist
Make Inspection


While the past week of warm and
bright weather has been favorable for
haying, it has also been ideal for blight
to run its course among the potatoes
Prof. Gilbert, specialist, who is investi-
eating plant diseases in Vermont, and
County Agent Bartlett made an inspec-
ton in some sections and found the
blight already starting, The Farm Bur
eau urges everyone to be on guard
against blight this year. as the potato
acreage is not as large as last year and
no loss i'll this crop can easily be suf-
fered
1t will pay every farmer to spray his
potato crop for blight with Bordeaux
mixture. Nineteen hundred and ten
marked the completion of a twenty
year potato spraying experiment car
ried on by the Vermont Agricultural
Experiment station, the results of which
show the merits of Bordeau mixture as
a spray for potato blight Each year
the crop was sprayed from two to four
times, each time leaving portion of
the field as a check.
for potato blight EaCi: year the crop
was sprayed from two to four times
each time leaving a portion of the field
as a check.
A summary of the twenty-year eXper-
iment shows the average yield of spray
ed fields to be 26S bushels per acre and
the average of the unsprayed fields to
be l63 bushels per acre, an increase of
lO5 bushels or Ga percent on the spray
ed plots over the unsprayed plots,
Bordeaux mixture is simple to make
and easy to apply,
Bordeaux mixture:
. lbs, copper sulphate
D lbs. quick lime
80 gals. water
Dissolve copper sulphate in wooden
or earthen receptacle at rate of one
pound to one gallon of water. Stake
lime in same proportions To each five
gallons of stock solution add twenty
gallons of water and agitate we'll. Mix
the two solutions together, this making
fifty gallons of Bordeaux mixture If
bugs are troublesome add one-half
pound of paris green or three pounds
arsenate of lead paste. In powder form
use only one half this amount.
About 80 gallons of solution are need
ed to the acre.

CAPTAIN JONES WANTS
 JUNEAU LOOK AFTER MEN

W. A. Clark, of the Juneau Hard ware Company and chairman of the local exemption board has re- ceived a letter from Captain A. M. Jones at Fort Seward, saying that 15O men at Fort Seward can visit Juneau on the Fourth of July, and suggesting that arrangements be made to take care of them. MT. Clark says that John Rustgard has offered to look after 8 couple Of the recruits, that the Fire Boys have offered to accommodate number, and suggests that Juneau residents who can accommodate others leave their names with the Home Guards who are managing the Fourth eele- bration. Following is the letter re- ceived by MT. Clark:
 Headquarters,
 Ft. Wm. H. Seward,
 Alaska, June 8, 1918. Mir. W. A. Clark,
 Juneau, Alaska.
 My Dear Mir. Clark:
 Arrangements will be made by me to permit as many aS possible or the Juneau and Douglas draft men to visit their homes on July fourth Only the sick and delinquents will be retained here. There are eighty eight from Juneau and seventeen men from Douglas. The Peterson cannot transport more than seventy five men in rough weather and one hundred in fair weather. Prscti- cally all of the men in question are members of Company "A'' 14th U. s. Infantry. Therefore shall send this Company as a unit and fill up with the Juneau and Douglas men serving in other units
 This will mean that roughly one Hundred and fifty men will visit Juneau on July fourth. About half Of that nmber will be strangers in your locality and 1t is suggested that arrangements be made whereby these men may be taken care Of by patriotic families during their Sist.
 This half will include all the non commissioned officers under whom your quota are now receiving their instructions.
 Yours truly,
 A. n. JONES,
 EF Capt. 14th U. s. Inf., < " Commanding. P. S.--!Subject to change without notice. t-

GUARDS 10 HAVE CHARGE tl 7Nfrr 'f gU.igerJ1rl Nt
 FOURTH

Plans for the celebration of the Fourth of July in Juneau, says the Empire are rapidly taking khape and at ameeting held last night all committees for the arrangements an handling of the celebration were ap- pointed by the officers of the Home Guards. The entire celebration de- bends on the amount of financial support given by the citizens, It will cost considerable money to bring the soldiers from Fort Seward to Ju- neau, but the Home Guards are con vinced that there is enough in terest in the town taken in the boys to make this part comparatiVe1 easy. g.. ... .F..
 Committees were also appointed to devise ways and means, and to have charge of the collection of funds to secure uniforms for the Home Guards. It is planned that any surplus from the Fourth celebra tion fund, should there be any, will be turned into the uniform fund. Gov. Thomas Riggs, Jr., has been advised by the Attorney General George B. Grigsby that he has no fund available to purchase uniforms and t Is up 70 the Home Guards to raise funds on their own account. Rifles and, ammunition have been ordered and. expected within few weeks.
 The Executive committed will con sist of Captain A. B. Cole and First Lieutenant Geo. w. Mock, who will have general charge of the whole days arrangements and celebratiop All chairmen of committees are eX- pected, to meet with the members of the Executive Committee immediate ly after drill tonight and form general outline for the days cele- bration, and, receive instructions as to their duties and what will be ex- pected of each committee.

WOULD HANG ON TO QUARTER
Negro Wac Determined to Have Some thing by Which He Could Remem.
 Der Presidents Gift.

It occurred when MT. Taft was pres ident. He was in Augusta, Ga, and a barbecue was to be given in his honor at MT. c. s. Bohler's country place.
 Mir. Taft was expected to be on hand at certain hour The roads were misleading, and fearing to be late he bade the chauffeur stop and inquire directions of an old negro man who trudged along. Gan you tell me where Mfr Bohler's place isf" asked the president.
 "Yes, sir, kin, cayse I works dar myself" The way as pointed out was somewhat vague, so Mir. Taft told the old man to jump in by the side of the chauffeur and act as guide. Upon ar irving at Mir. Bohler's home, MT. Taft gave the old man 50-cent piece.
 Mir. Bohler, afterward hearing of the incident, called the recipient, saying: "Uncle Tom, T hear the president gave you fifty cents. You ought to Y prize that and keep 1t always as q sou venIr."
 "I shO will do dat" the old negro replied.
 4 few weeks later Mir. Bohler h. quired of Uncle Tom if he still had the 50 cents.
 "I tell you how It was, boss" an- swered the old negro. "I got in tight place and I had to git dat money changed. l spent one quarter. but I'm gwine to keep dat udder quarter sho ss I live"

If you suffer from backache; headaches or dizzy spells; if you rest poorly and are languid in the morning; if the kidney Recrettons are irregular and unnatural in ap- pearance, do not delay. In such cases the kidneys often need help. Doan's Kidney Pills are especial- ly' prepared for kidney trouble v they are recommended by thous- ands.

 Mrs. M. E. Gagen, 1013-A Florida St., San Francisco, Cal, says: q had dropsy and other kidney trouble and was miserable. My back couldn't have given me any more misery if I had broken 1t. My kidneys were weak and my feet ankles and hands became swollen, as a result. felt 50 miserable, run down and depressed l was dis couraged, could hardly bend. over because my back hurt me so much. Doan's soon strengthened and regu- lated my kidneys. The swellings went away and I was again well and had all my former strength"

END FOR THE FARMER

Tabulated details of income tax
returns show that the farmer has
been getting the short end of what
ever prosperity the country has en-
joyed since direct taxes became the
vogue. Less than one-quarter of
one per cent of those who pay in
come taxes are to be found among
the farmers. While politicians have
been paying large attention to other
groups of those who labor with their
hands, surrendering too often to ar
rogant demands and almost never
attempting to withstand any of their
demands, the farmer has been get
ting it in the neck. He has seen
the price of his crops arbitrarily
fixed, but he has not been protected
against high prices for what he has
to buy. He has seen Northern wheat
Disseminated against in favor of
Southern cotton. How long will he
stand it? The American farmer is
a patient and long-suffering man, as
his whole history shows. But there
must be a limit to his endurance.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1918-06-28
BUSINESS AS POSSIBLE.

Of course business cannot run on
as usual in war times, but business
should be kept up as well as possible
considering wars demands. The bet
ter the business, the larger the taxes
from increased incomes and in
creased business profits, the better
wages are, and the better able is the
country to absorb the Liberty Loans.
Yet some people advocate that ev-
erything should be cut out that has
no direct bearing on the war. Va
rious industries will have to cut
down their output, and slacken up in
various ways, it is true, but the time
has not come for the ruthless elimi-
nation of so-called non-essential
business.
Supply of raw materials and de-
mand on the part of the people will
be great factors in curtailing pro-
duction of non-war goods. People
are going to buy fewer and fewer
luxuries as the war goes on, and the
governments priority orders will
take care of the supply. Business
should be encouraged as much as
possible and as much as is consistent
with the war program.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1918-06-28
SUCCESS.

After all, success is just the appli-
cation of every day common sense
to business opportunities. If a man
has ordinary physical ability, ordi-
nary mentality, and is wiling to
work and takes advantage of his
every opportunity, success as meas
ured by the worlds STANDARD, which
is mainly a money standard, is
bound to come.
The desire to better ones condi-
ton, and the dread of poverty, are
probably the greastest urge tosuc-
cess, but many fail because they
choose the wrong niche, because
they are inefficient, of because they
lack "stick-to-itiveness."
Failure is due in most cases be-
cause of small caliber minds; men
think small and see small, they pinch
pennies and risk dollars. Such men
never advance far because they have
the wrong attitude toward money.
Money is of no value in itself; it
merely represents certain things
for which it can be traded-things
that will satisfy body, mind and soul.
The state of mind has much to do
with success, and the man who
measures it by dollars alone will
never arrive.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1918-06-28
JUSTICE ONLY DEMANDED.

The Mooney case has been one of
the most bitterly fought on record.
There has been an amending at
tempt to cloud the main issue, pun
ishment of guilty parties, with SEN
timental slush and effort to create
class hatred by the plea that organ
lied wealth was trying to "get union
labor"
The trial brought out the fact that
the principals were connected with
leading anarchistic movements and
advocated violence to win conten-
tons.
The Russian anarchistic element is
trying to substitute intimidation
and violence in America for orderly
court procedure.
California courts and public Off
cials are to be given great credit for
their courage in carrying these cases
through under continual threats of
death and destruction.
The reputation of California is at
stake in bringing to justice the muir
derers of ten people and injurers of
fifty. All the sob artists in the world
cannot return these lives. All the
people of California ask is the pun
ishment of the guilty and this they
do demand through their legally con-
stituted courts.

SOLDIERS IN POLITICS.

The men who are now fighting to
preserve democracy, on their return
from the trenches will demand a
hand in directing democracy's course
They will either put their comrades
in power, or support candidates
whose policies are acceptable to
those who have worn the uniform.
Demagogs and cheap politicians who
have stayed at home, their hides I'M
endangered, will exploit the soldier
vote to the limit and many ambitious
plans are being tenderly cherished.
The demagogs are right in believ-
ing that the soldier vote is worth
catering to. In fact no post-bellum
political project will be worth a jit-
ney, if it ignores the returning
soldiers as the chief factor, for the
slider vote will be the ruling factor
in the politics of all democratic ma
tons after peace is declared.

CAN YOU ANSWER WORTHILY?

Let US remember that in year or
two the white souls of a million
dead soldiers, American lads, our
dear sons, will be speaking to us
from their graves, on the battle
fields of Europe, asking what we did
over here to stand behind them,
what we did over here for the cause
of world liberty.
Was it merely a matter of talk
ing? Was it merely matter of
signing checks and folding band
ages? Of cold business efficiency?
Is that all? Did we suffer no per-
sonal inconvenience In what way
did we actually with our own bodies
get into the trenches of sedition
here?
Into the foul and Shiny labyrinths
of treachery and disunion here? Into
the heart of the nation?
That is what the white souls of
million American lads, our sons, will
be asking us in year or two from
their graves on the battle fields of
Europe.
And we must answer them. God!
Let US answer worthily.-From
"Sooners in the War"

The enormous drop in the German
birthrate is not without its compen-
sation, as the luckiest thing that can
happen to a Boche baby is not to be
born.
Do you remember the old-fash-
Toned girl who was considered real
forward if she went shopping to the
store in which her young man was
a clerk without a chaperone?
In the good old days there were
two kinds of girls hard to under
stand. One had a consuming am
bition to become a minister's wife;
the other wanted to marry the VII
lage rake and reform him.

Will Soon be Open for Business

Mrs. L. G. Herren, milliner. who
recently suffered the entire loss of
her millinery and household effects
by the Heppner fire, is preparing to
open up again for business. She has
rented one of the small buildings of
II. c. Ashbaugh on upper Main street
and this is being put in shape to re-
ceive her business. Mrs. Herren was
heavy looser on account of the fire,
and her total loss will likely exceed
$4,000. with only $500 insurance.
Mrs. Herren informs us also that the
wholesale houses with whom she has
been dealing for a number of years
in Portland, have assured her that
they shall gladly back her up and she
hopes to regain her business in q
short time. This paper was in error
In stating Mrs. Herren's loss at 81
500 as we overlooked the destruc-
ton of her household equipment
which was in the same building with
the millinery stock.
