70 Develop Disease Resistant Flax.

Field and laboratory studies of
fax are being conducted by the
United States Department of Agri-
Culture to determine the cause of
flax canker and to establish it's re-
lation to flax wilt. Several organ
isms which are parasitic on flax and
which cause flax wilt have been
isolated. One species has been
found to produce Il disease some
what similar to flax wilt bl:t which
kills the wilt resistant as readily as
il does the more suspectible varie-
ties AS a result of this discovery
more work on disease resistant
varieties of fax has been under
taken. together with other measures
for disease control. Flax wilt is the
most serious disease of this crop.
Not infrequently as entire flax field
will show SO much wilt as to be
practically a total loss to the grower.

SIX MEN REJECTED.

OF the 113 men sent from Ohio
county to Camp Taylor last week six
were returned for physical disability.
Among those returned were Archie
Maddox, Earl Westerfield, William A.
Vaught and Charlie f. Cox. The
names of the other two have not
been reported to this office. This is
the first instance of men who were
sent up by the local board being re-
turned as disqualified for service.
Among those returned was Archie
Maddox, whose marriage occurred the
day before he left for Camp Taylor.
We congratulate him-not upon the
event of his physical disability-but
upon his good fortune in being re-
turned to the embrace of his wife.

LADY IN OVERALLS.

Miss Dewey Johnson, daughter of
Mr.. Mont Johnson, of near town, is
setting a splendid example of patri-
otto service by DOMINIC overalls and
assisting her father in his farm work.
Miss Johnson is a young college girl,
bright as a new coin, and brim full OF
energy and grit. She has adopted
this form of service, not out of neces-
sity, but purely out of duty to her
country in its hour of need. She,
with her father, passed through town
Monday morning, each driving a wag-
ON load of fine hogs to market. Miss
Johnson's example of patriotic use
fulness should inspire great number
of other young women of the county
to like sacrifices toward feeding the
allied armies. All honor to the girl
in overalls.

No. 40

is reported to be in Florida. Two
additional warrants have recently
been issued against Taylor for the
same offense but the other officer has
not been able to get service on him.
Lee and r. d. Douglas charged
with taking and injuring the property
of another, set forward to August
term.
E. A. White charged with obstruct-
ing public highway, verdict of the
jury not guilty.
Doss Jackson, warrant for breach
of the peace, filed away. Accused in
draft service at Camp Taylor.
Joe Douglas, breach of the peace.
set forward to June is.
Lee Keith charged with seduction
under promise of marriage, defendant
in army, but will probably be brought
back for trial. A report that Keith
had married the girl just before he
left for Camp Taylor last week is
said not to be true.

IN COUNTY COURT.

There was a rather large docket
for the June term of the county court,
but on account of tobacco season
and other pressing farm work few
litigants and witnesses were in at
tendance.
However, the lawyers managed to
dispose of considerable business for
their clients even in their absence.
The docket with orders follow:
Homer Martin charged with OBJ
structing the public highway, set for
ward to June Is.
Jim Taylor, three cases, charged
with selling liquor, failed to answer
summons and county attorney moved
to forfeit bond. Court reserved opin-
ion for argument of attorneys. Taylor

HUNGRY TO FIGHT.

Jesse Coppage, son of Mr.. Dick
Coppage, of Dundee, was No. 10 on
the alternate list of the draft boys
sent to Camp Taylor from Hartford
last week, and failing to get the
local board to put him on the list of
soldiers sent he loaded on the train
with the boys and went on to Camp.
The officials at the camp liked the
boys pluck, and notified the local
board to forward the necessary pa
pers ia make him a soldier. Luck
to the plucky boy.

UNDER-SEA BOATS
ON ATLANTIC COAST

German U-boats appeared of the
New Jersey coast Sunday, and en-
tered on a campaign of destruc-
ton of American shipping, The. ex-
act number of sea-wolves is not
known, but will not exceed three.
and possibly two. So far only one
large steamer has been sunk. No
serious apprehension is felt at Wash
ington. U-boats operating so far
from their base can not seriously
interfere with American shipping.
Destroyers and aeroplanes are scour-
ing the coast for the demons Of the
deep, and the spectacular demonstra-
ton will be short lived. Only six
teen lives are known to have been
lost as a result of U-boat activity on
the Atlantic coast, and there were lost
in a storm while at sea in an open
boat. These boats were sent to Ameri-
can waters, not for any actual damage
they might do to American shipping,
but for the purpose of terrorizing war
department officials and to check the
sending of troop ships to Europe. But
the authorities refuse to take the
U-boat, on this side of the ocean, SER
iously and are daily starting trans
ports, under heavy convoy, on their
way to France.

MASONIC LECTURE.

The lecture at the court house
Monday afternoon by Mr.. Jefferson
Adams, superintendent of the Ken
lucky Widows and Orphans Home
will long be pleasantly remembered
by those fortunate enough to hear
him.
Among the many interesting things
said by Mr.. Adams was that of the
372 widows and orphans in the Home
only one was in a Hospital, a boy
with an ankle injured in an accident.
He said there were little girls in the
Home who could make bolt of cloth
into dresses with the finish of train
ed seamstress. The boys make shoes
that are sold from many stores
throughout the country, and also
make lodge furniture for the fitting
of the best lodge rooms in the United
States. Much other interesting and
useful information was given the
large public audience that heard Mr..
Adams.
In the evening Mr.. Amams attend
ed a session of the local lodge and
and assisted in putting on some de-
gree work. Members of the local
lodge and the public as well would
welcome another visit by the pleasant
gentleman and agreeable speaker, of
Louisville.

New York, June 3.-Nine Ameri-
can vessels we're known tonight to
have been sunk by German subma-
rines off the North Atlantic coast
since May rs.
The largest to fall prey to the raid
ers, which are seeking to prevent the
sailing of transports with troops for
the battlefields of France, was the
New York and Porto Rico liner Caro-
lima of 5000 tons, which was attack
ed Sunday night about 125 miless
southeast of Sandy Hook. The fate
of her 22O passengers and crew of
1870, who took to the boats when
shells began to fall about the vessel,
was unknown late tonight but there
was hope they had been picked up by
some passing ship or would reach
shore safely in the small boats. Not
a life was lost in the sinking of the
other ships, according to late reports
tonight
Besides the Carolina the known
victims of the U-boats are the Allan
tic Refining Company tanker Herbert
L. Pratt, the steamship Winneconnie
of 1900 tons, and six schooners, the
largest of which we're the Hauppauge,
a new ship of 1000 tons, and the
Edward H. Cole. The crews of these
eight vessels have been landed at
Atlantic ports.
