REV. SHUTTLES-
WORTH RESIGNS

Rev. l.. H. Shuttlesworth
sprang real surprise on his con
gregati0n when be resigned the
passionate Of the Baptist church
last Sunday morning.
No one was looking for him to
do that, and it is not done thru
any misunderstanding but on &C
count Of insufficient support.
Many church people do not
properly consider the needs of
their pastors and a result Of this
carelessness is humiliation OF
these men because Of their inabil
ity to meet their obligations. Not
only in mind do they suffer but
in body as we'll.
The tremendous increase in
the cost of living is working hard
ships on all men receiving small
salaries for the cost of living has
gone up fast9r than the wages,
and this is especially true of the
salaries of ministers; and when
the salary is irregularly paid,
and sometimes not paid at all, the
preacher either has to do some
thing else to supplement the sal
airy or quit.
We regret that this last is the
alternative chosen by Rev. Shut
Ellsworth. He has taken an activ
part in the affairs of the town for
several years. Wen miss him.

REMEDY FOR PLANT
LICE ON GREENS

TurnipS, mustard and radishes
grown in Louisiana during the fall
months are often severely injured by
small, light green, soft-bodied,
sucking insect-an aphid, or plant
louse-that is found principally on
the underside Of the leaves.
These aphids may be kept under
control by spraying with a mixture
Of one teaspoonful OF nicotine sui
plate and an inch cube Of laundry
soap in a gallon OF water, the soap
being first dissolved In a portion Of
the water. A spray pump that will
force the liquid out Of the nozzle as q
fine spray or mist must be used, ant
the aphids must be wet with the
spray in order to kill them. The noz.
zle should be SO attached to the spray
rod as to form a right angle at that
point. With this device the spray
can be better applied to the under
surface Of the leaves. Begin spray
ing when the aphids first attack the
plants.
To facilitate spraying the seed
should be planted in drills or rows
not broadcast. 1t is also much easier
to reach the aphids on plants having
smooth leaves.-Department of Ento-
mology, Experiment Station, Louisi-

RED CROSS NOTES

During the past week there has
been national movement carried on
for the purpose of gathering together
clothing forfhe destitute people of the
war districts. The Commission for
Relief in Belgium has sent out an APP
peal for help along this line. During
the past three years of war; the people
over there" have never had new
cloth from which to make clothing,
or leather for shoes. The wearing
apparel of those poor people must
be in an awful shape, after being
cleaned, mended and patched over and
over again. Bedding is also badly
needed. The needy do not ask for new
things, but all articles sent them along
the line mentioned above must be
clean, strong and durable. Garments
and shoes are wanted that will stand
much hard wear in fields and factories.
and only the plainest are asked for.
The numerous branch Red Cross
organizations in the rural commun-
tiles are working diligently for the
Red Cross, and are turning out fin
ished articles in large numbers.
Each day brings forth splendid
proofs that the people of Marathon
county see the necessity of getting
behind the boys now at the front and
in the various training camps of this
country and abroad The tremend-
Gus work, which has been done
by the local Red Cross, can not
possibly be realized by many, and
the tremendous work still to be
done. Hundreds and hundreds of ar
ticles such as sweaters, scarfs, socks.
wristlets, helmets, hospital articles
for wounded and sick, have been made
in this short time of operation. and
the Marathon chapter has made very
commendable record.
The Plain View school at Dancy
sent to the local Red Cross head
quarters Friday, Junior Red Cross
memberships to the amount of $500
The Stratford Red Cross branch
have recently sent in eleven annual
memberships.
An entertainment was given a short
time ago in the McNignt district near
Stratford, amounting to $500. which
has been donated to the Marathon
Red Cross chapter.
4 A Junior Red Cross has been or
ganized at the Norrie state graded
