THE ALASKA ELECTION.

Writing undcr the heading. "Tba Alaska Election ? the Dispatch says in its editorial column
 Most Aaskans are militant partisans
 n most campaisns until the polls close;
 then they wait until bedtime the
 probable results, more often for the
 morning paper, and not infrequently in
 close contests for the evening paper,
 and usually within twenty-four hours
 after the polls close they accept the
 verdict of the majority, however small
 it may be final, and they adjourn
 politics until the campaign They
 will enter t in precisely the spirit
 marked the campaign two years be-
 fore but in the interim they are, above
 all things else, Americans.
 Some bitter things have been said
 within the past month. They will not
 be distnelively remembers d by the end
 of the week, and they Ill be for
 gotten. Other things of world import
 will drive them rom minds
 may be that they will be revived at
 the next election, but that is years
 away. Meanwhile all of have our
 work to do-more and harder than ,ver
 before"
 Is the Dispatch apoogizing for campaign of mis- representation and vilifcation? Is admitting that it did things and said things to make Wick ersham that it forgotten? Is it confessing that played with fishermen the other voters of Alaska? Is it telling the truth that there is longer opportunity for voters to profit from the discovery that things they were lead to believe were true are, indeed, false?
 Of course intelligent citizens do not have to be told that newspapers should treat political campaigns periods for discussing and considering lssues that the public welfare, that legit mate news paper is willing to be measured by the standards which control its actions and motives during politi cal campaign.
 Files of newspapers become permanent records and furnish original sources for historical research Charges affecting the patriotism of citizens, direct misrepresentation of facts be recalled They stand the record breed suspicion and serve as basis future false charges

HANDSOME CASCOlGNE ENJOYS
 FLYING

Here is recent letter from Ran some R Gaseoigne, son of Mrs Carrie B. Gascoigne, South Main street, one of the several Putnam boys now in aerial service:
 .I received the box and note this afternoon The box was in fine shape. had just returned from a cross country flight and it was ? p. m. and had no dinner A plane was forced to land about twenty miles north of here, so they sent me in another plane to fix it up and get it back We land- ed in a big hilly clover field after lodging trees and fences. 1t sure was exciting. All the Hicks within ten miles were there and of all the ques- tions. they had them at their tongues end. We were gone about three hours and my appetite WAS the best in years, so don't think that Frank ap- preeiated his box any more than did l used to wish that l had lived in the, days if King Arthur, but no more. King Arthur never lived as have in the last month. I go up near ly every day to O. K the ships. so you can imagine how exciting 1t is. Still l am three times as lucky as the next fellow and that helps lot
 'I did not get chance to go to To- ledo the Fourth and was lucky at that. The plane was wrecked fifty miles south of there, but fortunately no one was hurt There were a couple of French Aces performing here the Fourth. My, they are clever, but wait until the Yankees begin to perform.
 Suppose that Frank is settled in camp by now, also the shots in the arm We all get them and feel better afterwards. Dick" Wasson leaves Monday for New York-'over the pond maybe Italy If he gets B chance l am going to make him drop off at Putnam.

WATCH OUT FOR GREEN PLANT
 LICE

Farmers and home gardeners, watch your crops closely fer tbe green plant lee which have already made their appearance in some sections of Windham County and are doing con siderable damage. Ordinarily this pest has confined itself to onions, tur- nps, and similar plants, but this year it seems to be attacking everything in sight
 These plant lice feed by sucking the sap from the leaves of the plant, and must be destroyed by a spray that kills by contact with their bodies.
 The potato is one of the plants which the lice seem to be making a particular favorite of this year, usual ly taking the blossom stem first, then gradually moving down the plant, causing the leaves to curl and die, and eventually destroying it entirely.
 As soon as the lice are found, they should be sprayed at once with nico- tine sulfate Black Leaf 40 is one of the trade names for this preparation. If nicotine sulfate cannot be purchas- ed, whale oil soap will give fairly sat isfactory results, or q homemade so- lution of kerosene emulsion may be used. This is made of hard soap, shaved fine, one-half pound, one gall lon of water, and two gallons of kero- sene. Dissolve the soap in the water, which should be boiling; remove from the fire and pour it into the kerosene while hot. Churn this with spray pump till it changes to creamy, then to a soft butter-like mass. Keep this as a stock, using one part in nine of water for soft bodied insects such as plant lice. or stronger in certain cas- es. Smaller quantities may be made up, using the same proportions as above.

LETTERS FROM PUTNAM SOLDIER BOYS
FLYING GAME BIG DREAM OF
 FUN

The following Is from Gould Beard. graduate of the Putnam High school. member of the Detachment of Flying Cadets. Kelly Field. San Antonio. Texas:
 The bunch of chaps here in the aviation flying service are the clean est and finest lot l have ever struck. Almost every college l ever heard of k represented. They are all eaeer to learn the game and go "over there" to shoot the Huns, and they can't give us enough flying
 "e.30 p. m.-I have just come in from a little excitement A rain squall came up suddenly and caught some of us in the air. l managed to get my machine down before the wmd was very high and before il rained. and with the aid of a couple of me chanics taxied into the hangar Then l went out to help get the others in. It poured sheets and the wind was so strong that the pilots could not keep the machines on the ground as they landed l grabbed the fing of one just as a gust raised it. and went off the ground a few feet, It was all over in fifteen minutes. but 1t laid two planes fiat on their backs when they tried to land.
 The flying game is certainly one big dream of fun for me l can't ex- plain the feeling but t is fun and ex- eitement all the time One hour of flying tires the beginners out as much as half day of hard work. mostly because of the tense strain he is un- der while in the air. Later. however. when they get used to it, they steer by instinct and have time to put their thoughts on other things such as send ing wireless or shooting the machine gun"
