er OF agriculture and labor, is advised
by his field agents Very few old
bushes have been discovered this year,
but Mr.. Hagan urges the necessity Of
going carefully over the ground that
wasfreed of the barberry last year to
make sure that no stray root was
LETT in to sprOut and endanger this
years wheat crop.
present conditions are conductive
to rust said Mr.. Hagan today"
This murky weather causes to root
spores to thrive, and, were the wheat
little further along, great damage
would result from winds scattering
these spores, had any been carried
over the winter. Scientists have dem
onstrated to their own satisfaction
that the barberry bush is the only
plant which carries rust spores over the
winter They will not survive on the
wheat stubble, and if he eradicate
the barberry bush, we may feel reason
able safe from this pest.
I'VE are again meeting with en-
cellent cooperation in our campaign
against the barberry. The bush does
not grow wild, and is confined prn-
cipally to hedges in the cities and on
some of the older farms in the Red
River valley and as far north as Cros.
by. 1t has been demonstrated that
the rust spores, carried over the win.
ter on barberry bushes, will travel
miles with the wind. If the weather
is dry, the spores do not readily at
tack the wheat stem, but if soft and
murky, the rust particles at once be-
gin eating through the stock, and, as
they ret in their work, they terminate
more spores. which attack other stalks
until a very short time an entire
field may be infected. We do not
anticipate serious trouble this season,
but it viii pay everyone in North
Dakota to be cautious, and to show
the common barberry bush no mercy
if they discover it on their premises

him that Monahan had not met his
injuries as a result of foul play, but
that he had been the victim Of an ac-
cident. eff we hold any inquest, 2
said the coroner, lit will be held on
Tuesday, but I am convinced that
Monahan was not slugged' or in any
way the victim Of foul play. I found
many wei known people in the Rus
sell neighborhood who had seen Mona
han on Tuesday and all of them de-
cared that he had been drinking
heavily. Many witnesses saw him
leave the saloon just before he was
injured and these people all agree in
their stories. They claim that Mona
han had q bottle of beer and bottle
of brandy and that. he was so far I'M
der the influence of liquor that the
bartender at the salooon took the
brandy away from him and placed it
IN the ice box. After this transaction
Monahan left the place and he caught
his foot on the sill Of the door and
plunged head first down the stairs.
These men claim that a physician was
called to attend Monahan on Tuesday
night and that The physician failed to
note that he had been seriously injur-
ed. It was declared by witnesses at
Russell that two men remained with
Morahan during the night on Tues
day and these same men went home
with him on Wednesday,
Several reports have drifted in from
Russell which declared thar Monahan
was struck by some one in the saloon
but both the sheriff and the coroner de-
clare that there is no evidence of any
fight in which Monahan was struck.

FRENCH MADE
 FIRST DIRIGIBLE

Although Count Zeppelin achiev- ed the most general celebrity among latterday inventors of airships, his gigantic craft represents but an adap- tion, development and improvement of the ideas of earlier workers in the same field. It was Frenchman, in an airship invented by Frenchmen and built by the French government, who first demonstrated that such a craft could be made to answer to her helm. Many balloons had been us- ed during the Franco-Prussian war to send messages out of besieged Paris. This suggested powerfully to French minds the great possibilities of balloons which could be steered, and scores of inventors tackled the job. It was thirty-four years ago to- day, Aug. g, 1884. that the first real dirigible was flown, and by a French man. After it's possibilities had been demonstrated the French government organized an aeronautical bureau. Capt. Renard was placed in charge and he took as his models the most successful of the balloons Of his pre- decessors and sought to combine their virtues and eliminate their de- fects. He succeeded in the construc- ton of an electric motor which gave more power for it's weight than any previously built. He then built an aircraft of spindle shaoe, with a length of 165 feet. The propeller he placed in front, whereas. other inven- had -a1waysspla led tt4at-<he rsar.

WANT AID TO
 FIGHT MOTHS

Philadelphia, Aug. 9.-Waging a losing fight against an old and persis- tent enemy, arboriculturists in this vicinity are sending out an "S. O. S." call for the householder and the tree lover to cooperate in combating the caterpillar, whose scientific name is the tussock moth. It is said the war is responsible for new inroads these insects are making. Inability to ob- tain men for the tree-cleaning squads is the chief reason for the spread of caterptIlars.
 Instead of cleaning up entire sec tions of Philadelphia as heretofore the little squad at the command of the arboriculturist is able only to re- spond to hurry calls.
 , Of the 150,000 trees on this city's streets it has been possible to clean only about twenty thousand. In some sections the leaves already have been eaten from the trees. The sec ond crop of tussocks is at work. The size of a crop can be judged by the fact that from two to three hundred eggs may be contained in one cocoon, and there may be from two hundred to three hundred cocoons on a tree. Continued cool weather will check their growth but hot wave will pro- duce a bumper crop.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-08-09

On Aug. g, 1884, the new dirigi- ble was ready to take the air. The weather conditions were favorable. Capt Renard was accompanied on the trial flight by his assistant, Capt Krebs. Before a great crowd which had assembled to witness the test, the balloon rose into the air and sail ed away, travelling a distance of about 2 1-2 miles. Renard then turned the craft, which answered perfectly 10 the helm, and sailed back over the course, the balloon settling down in the exact spot from where it started This was the first time in history that such feat had been performed, anS 1t aroused the admiration of the world.
 The old fashioned balloon, too. is a French invention, the discoverers of the principle having been Joseph and Steuhen Montgolfier, who built their first balloon in 17S3. The first hu- man being to ascend in a balloon was Francois Pilatre de Rozier, a young naturalist, who was afterward killed in an attempt to cross the English channel in a balloon.

BRITISH SOLVE
 DRINK PROBLEM

When Great Britain undertook to deal with the drink problem as a war measure, the government was careful to attempt nothing that was not prac- ticable. It took into account the hab- it's of the people and imposed reason able restrictions that could be en- forced. It had in mind the two-fold purpose of reducing intemperance and
 promoting national efficiency. In or
 der to check excessive drinking, 1t
 limited the hours of sale, prescribed
 reduction in the alcoholic content of
 beverages and absolutely forbade all treating.
 As a result of these regulations there has been an amazing decrease in drunkenness. The level of drunk enness fell two-thirds last year below | that of the pre-war period, and today it is officially put at about half of that of a year ago. Among both men and women drinking has decreased per | cent. under the system of wartime re- strictions. So beneficial has the change been that 1t is predicted that Great Britain will never consent to a return to the old conditions.
 In attaining its ends the British Government has employed none of the
 fanatical methods of our own Prohi- bitionists Their first principle is al- l ways intolerance of the views and i wishes of anybody but themselves.
 They assume on every occasion the ] sole right to speak for ''the moral
 forces"' of the country, and whoever ventures to differ with them on any
 grounds is in league with the brew
 CTS and the liquor dealers. In Great Britain, Baron D,Abernon, Chairman
 of the Central Board of Control. says l that 'the policy has been not to att ltack the liquor tradee but the: anaG-

APPAREL FOR
 SOLDIERS IS
 CHANGED BY RULE

Behind British Lines in France, Aug. 9-(Correspondence of The As ociated Press)-The soldier has little or no choice in clothing, and the condition of campaigning are such that soldiers are seldom ideally dress ed. The changes of temperature that western Europe can experience in 48 hours completely baffle anyone who possesses @ restricted wardrobe and is obliged to live in the open. Yet the soldier in France must be prepared for anything in tRe line of weather. In the British army, the seasons are regulated by official routine rather than by any slavish adherence to eli mate. The first signs of spring are Army Orders commanding, that all Special heavy" winter clothing, such as trench coats, furs and sweaters, shall be handed in by April 1. And handed in these comforts duly are, whereupon the weather forthwith turns wintry again and the middle of April is perhaps marked by three | days blizzard and a sharp frost.
 Garment by garment the winter 
 l houses sweaters, winter shirts, trench gloves and mittens, leather coats - all inexorably return to the | Ordnance Department. During the summer this clothing is cleaned, re- paired, sterilized and repacked in bales ready for the succeeding aut- umn and winter issue.
 The clothes collected are replaced | by issues of lighter stuff, more suita- ble for warm weather wear, for in the summer, fighting is hot work, and gunners prefer to serve their guns in 1 knee-length underdrawers and a shirt. During some battles in the hottest days the men have stripped even farther than this, and worked bare to the waist, as thier grand gathers served the guns in Nelson's day.
 i Wool and f1nannel seem heavy stuff for summer wear, but the Brit ish army is old in experience and knows the best all-around materials. Cotton, though excellent for comfort, is said to swell the sic lists rapidly, for when soaked through with per spiration it dries in such way as to chill the Wearery Wnlle Ine nedVler wool, though less pleasant to wear,
 dries without i'll effect.
 The same standard outer uniform
 serves the British soldier for all sea-
 sons in France. One article that is
 the same for British soldiers in all
 parts of the world and in all eli
 mates is the regulation grey army
 sock. Experience has proved to the
 satisfaction of the British authorities
 that this standard sock is the bes
 for all conditions of marching. I does not shrink or get hard from re i peated washing, and it is extraordin arily durable.
 British army clothing may not b. handsome or even we'll cut, but it ii most carefully designed to furnish
 the maximum of practical use com bined with the first hygienic quail
 ties. The best testimony to it's ex s cellent quality and design is the fac
 that the soldier himself acknowledge
 that ration clothes" are the best tha
 can be found for army wear.
