Meeting To Discuss

And Seed Imports

The Secretary of Agriculture mas
called a public hearing, to be held IN
Washington May IS, at which Will pe
considered the advisability OF restrict
ing the importation of nursery s'och
and other plants and seeds from an
foreign countries. The meeting Will
he hold at 10 a. m, May 2S, in Room
H. Federal Horticultural Board De
nartment of Agriculture. Any person
interested in the proposed restrlc-
tions NAV be heard either in person
or by attorney. j,
The restrictions are contemplated
in order to prevent the Introduction
into the United States OF any Tree
plant. or fruit diseases or OF any IN
furious insects new to or not nerelo-
fore prevalent in this country IL Is
feared that certain injurious plan'
diseases and insect pests may gam
entrance through the agency OF orna-
mental and other plants 1mporte1
with earth about their roots Ihere
is also said to be special danger from
plants imported from little-Kno"l
countries, because lack of informa
ton as to the insect pests or plan'
diseases of such countries makes \
Impossible safely to pass such plah''
by inspection or to safeguard them D.
disinfaction.
Many Already introduced
Many of the most important lnJurl
Gus insects and plant diseases hav
been introduced in this countr
through such importations. On tn
other hand, there is long list 9
similarly destructive insects and dis
J eases which have not yet gained en-
| trance.

HE FELT lNSULTED
(By E. E. Hartman of The
Vigilantes)

Two days ago little company of
forty-five men met in this town.
They had planned a little banquet in
honor of loyal boy who was about
to leave for an aviation school in the
southeast His father was to be one
of the speakers at the banquet.
Among the forty-fve, all members
of a popular club, was one man who
was GERMAN-American. One of
the speakers began to repeat story
that Harry Lauder had told in pub,
lie hall here two days ago. In the
story the reconteur alluded to the
Germans as Huns. Up rose the gal
liant GERMAN-american then, his
face dark red and his eyes popping
with anger He frothed bit.
81 will not stay You shall not in
suit Germany! -! Calling my
people Huns! -!!! | will go
| will not shtay!! !"
They let him go. Think if it, W
denizens of the cultured east. In thu
wild and woolly west, forty-four loya
Americans let him go in peace in
stead of in pieces. No blows wer'
struck, no one suggested lynching, NJ
one threw anything. The forty-fou
simply passed well-worded resolu
ton demanding that the GERMAN
american be dropped from the clu'
roster, and added the signiflcan
clause, otherwise, we (the forty
four shall resign in body, since W
decline to remain in the present re
lationship with Mr.. -.
This is a small, and some may say
insignificant news item, but it
more than that 1t is a barometrica
reading that indicates the real atmo
pheric pressure in the average &c
man mind in America. There are e.
ceptions, of course, but exception
prove the rule you know.
l know of numbers of other &c
mans in this city who feel even 6
this hot-head. They say pro-Germa
things whenever they get chanc

who bawls his purpose broadcast, b.

gerous one

Loan workers. We are asking you
now in turn to lend yourselves to this
extra effort while the public is espe-
cially interested and responsive to the
patriotic appeal W.
thousands Of people in West VIZ
ginia did not subscribe to Fourth
Liberty Bonds. Influenza and otner
matters absorbed their interest.
Many who would have subscribed
could not even be seen. Campaigns
for Liberty Loans have helped me
sale Of War Savings Stamps in the
past.
Now this is the time, therefore, TO
push the sale Of War Savings Stamps,
particularly among those people VINO
should have subscribed to Fourth Lib
erty Bonds, but who, for one reason or
another, did not do 50.
ave are asking each County LAD
erty Loan Chairman in West VIZ
GINA Q) to advise all his or her com
m;ttee members at once of this or
fetal request; 20 to volunteer the
services of himself and his associates
as far as possible, to work in his coun-
ty under the direction of the War say
fngs chairman for his county, in max
ing the drive successful. Similar cam
paigns are being undertaken in other
divisions of the District.
"Many counties have not attained
their quotas. In every county there
are many pledges to buy War Saw
ings Stamps yet to be redeemed. The
drive is to secure the redemption of
all such pledges and to sell additional
stamps as needed, to enable the re-
spective counties to attain their quo
tas"

To the People Of West Virginia:

To the People Of West Virginia:
West Virginia has not failed to
20 "over the top" in any campaign
connected with Government or War
activities.
Shall we fail in the War Savings
Campaign?
We already occupy an enviable
position, but that it not enough.
We can and must achieve the goal
that has been set for us. To do
that we must buy 100000 In
War Savings Stamps during No
vember and December. The Gov
ernment needs money perhaps more
now than ever; and it must never
/ be said that West Virginia failed
to do that which she was called
upon to do in this war for liberty
| and humanity.
All of our War Savings pledges
must be redeemed, and l call upon
all loyal and patriotic citizens of
our state to not only redeem their
pledges for the purchase of War
| Savings Stamps, but to do more II
possible. The honor of our state
| and it's people is at stake.
A special drive will be made
from Thanksgiving until Christ
| mas, and this drive will be known
as the "Victory War Savings
| Drive"
Let every County Chairman; let
all the members of each County
| Committee; let every War Saw
| ings Society; and let every citizen
| of West Virginia do his bit and the
desired result will be easily at
| tanned.
Our aim and ambition will be to
have every citizen Of West Vir-
| ginia, man, woman, and child, an
| owner of War Savings Stamps be-
| fore the end of the year. Let us
have 100000 War Savers in West
| Virginia.
While the amount of money to
be raised IS important, and while
the needs of the Government are
urgent 1 feel that nevertheless our
greatest success would be in hav-
ing at least one War Savings
| Stamp owned by each man, woman
and child in the state.
At a recent meeting of State Di-
rectors held In Richmond, some
| discussion was had as to whether
or not the quotas assigned to
each state could not be re-adtusted-
Speaking for West Virginia, your
State Director said that we desired
no change in our quota; that we
were willing to stand on our record
at the end of the year; and that
we expected to make good"
/ am counting on the people Of
| West Virginia to back me up In
this statement, and to make easy
/ the work Of the County War Saw
fngs Committees.
