Piper News

Piper. August s.-CSpecial) )-Listen- ing intently to catch every word, a large audience yesterday afternoon heard Sergt. c. E. Haight of the Ca- nadian army tell the actual experi- ences of the soldiers in France and of what they are undergoing in their efforts to make the world safe to live in
 Sergeant Haight told in detail of the gas attacks delivered early in the war against the Canadians, having him self been gassed and for many weeks confined to the hospital. He told of the courage and fighting spirit of the Americans and of how he believed a great surprise was in store for the Germans as the Americans swing more and more into the fighting line. He told of the Angel of Mercy in the form of Red Cross nurses to whom all sol- diers look to relieve their pains and sufferings
 Sergeant Haight is of interesting personality and a most eloquent and forceful speaker, his voice carrying well and every word distinctly heard He emphasized forcefu1ly the fact thsIt everyone in America, both old and young had to be a part of this war older men and women who may have retired from active work must get back into ranks and do their part this, he said, and with everyone work ing 100 per cent, would earlier haster the end of the war and to a successful conclusion and with minimum loss.

 poration has resulted in monopolistic in
 justice Instead, this control has led to
 remarkable development of the proper
 ties and the steel corporation managers are looking forward to the day when,
 after the war, there will be very great
 increase in the markets for the commod- ities manufactured by this corporation, especially in South America and in many parts of the industrial south. It is the opinion that the distance between the large northern plants of the United States Steel corporation and the plants l of the Tennessee Coal and Iron com pany is so great that monopolistic con- | trol would be of no avail and of no ad- vantage. Moreover, it has now been dem- onstrated that the steel corporation is
 not a monopoly, for there are several l independent corporations, which are pros-
 pering greatly and which maintain rea,- sonable competition in some lines with l the United States Steel corporation. | However, the action of the Harvester company in yielding to the government l tends strongly to the opinion that the
 time will not be long before the Sherman law will be so amended or modified as I to make it possible to maintain cooper

New York, August 8.-(Special )-Theo- dore N. Vail and Howard Elliott set the example which, from one point of view' the International Harvester company has followed. There is this difference. how ever. President Vail of the Telegraph and Telephone company and President Elliott of the New Haven Railroad com pany did not wait until the court had passed upon the validity of the organiza- tion and operation which the telephone company and the New Haven Railroad company had perfected.
 Both MT Vail and MT. Elliott thought it the wiser part to hold conferences with the department of justice at Wash ington so that 1t could be learned what the basis of the contemplated action by ! the department against these two corpor- ations was and whether by compromise there could be eliminated from the or ganizations those features which the at torney general regarded as constituting violations of the antitrust law.

RED SPIDER PEST
 IS NOW SERIOUS
Alabama Experiment Sta ton Is Sounding Note of
 Warning to Growers

Auburn, August s.-(SpeciaL)-The hot, dry weather of the last five days has been ideal for the trust" or red spider, to increase, and already this pest has appeared in nearly every field. Exami- nations made show that large numbers of eggs and newly matched young are on the under sides of the leaves, and un- less the weather becomes cool, or hard rains occur, cotton growers of north Ala bama will suffer heavy loss.
 The treatment depends on the condition infestation.
 There are two types of infestation:
 One that arises from single source and spreads through the cotton This type of infestation is more easily checked if the proper measures are taken prompt ly. The cotton stalks where this infesta- ton begins soon lose their leaves, and the defoliated area gradually spreads from the source, which usually is found at the edge or corner of the field, on weeds or cultivated plants
 The other type of infestation Is one that is generally scattered, and is more often found in small fields or where dead trees and stumps are common While this type is not as easily seen in it's early stages. the damage soon be- comes greater. The treatment for such an infestation as this is too expensive and laborous to undertake, except where the cotton is unusually good, and the infestat ton is just beginning. The farm CT will simply have to hope for heavy rain or cool weather to save his crop, for at least half to two-thirds of the plant in such fields already show the signs of | red spider injury. The reasons for this general occurrence are found in the bor- ders and terraces of small areas, and on scattered weeds growing in stumpy | fields or fresh land. | The treatment must be decided for each separate infestation. Spraying, if at- tempted, should be done very carefully, and the under side of each leaf on every | infested plant must be covered. Lime sulphur solution used at summer strength. 1 or kerosene emulsion will kill all spiders ! hit by the spray. The emulsion is made by dissolving one-fourth pound of laun- dry soap ir half gallon of hot water
 and pouring into one gallon of kerosene ! and then vigorously stirring untl thick | and creamy. Use one part of this tc | six parts of water. If the water is hard add a little caustic potash, soda Or borax
 The spiders are found on a great many leaves that have not yet had time te show the fred rust spots" Therefore when the first sign of infectation ap pears, remove and burn the source, and Il several plants around it, or spray a smal | area at that point.
 Among the plants from which this pes

 last April his orders were to report at Louisville for recruiting duty; subse-

 Lieutenant Meredith has made fine impression upon Birmingham since as- suming his duties here last March; to be exact on the 21st-by his manly bearing, hi3 ability and his thorough ness he/ has commanded the respect

 6A whatever you do, don't talk {; don't discuss war measures with any body; don't discuss the movements of your ship or anybody else's ship; don't talk to the men on your ship, and, above all, whatever you do, don't talk to--women"
 The admonition dropped from the lips of Lieut. J. E. Meredith, the young naval officer who is in charge of the recruiting station in Birmingham for the United States navy, as he came to the finale of the ceremony attendant upon the swearing in" of a big bunch of patriotic young naval reserves!
 I listened attentively. I wondered if that last word of admonition-"don't talk to women"-really belonged in the ritual-or formula, or whatever you call it, and I began to get sort Of "touchy." I was the only woman in the fellows who had come to give their oath of allegiance to their government, and I wondered if there was anything personal in what the clever young lieutenant said. Later I found out all I wanted to know. Yes, 1t is part ana a very important part of the swearing in" ceremony and no. it was not per sonal, although newspaper persons of the feminine gender are dangerous, 1t must be admitted, and it was admitted by the young lieutenant
 We recall the verses of MT. Kipling' s which tell of the coloneTs lady who divulged secret in army orders with most disparaging results to everybody.

 The season of greatest damage is go- ing by, but if this hot weather con tinues watch the cotton carefully for the red aprearanca on the upper sur face of the leaves, which is a sure sign of the presence of the red spider.
