DIG UP BARBERRY.

Minnesota and the federal goverin-
ment have mapped out campaign
for the complete destruction of the
common barberry plant which is the
natural ally of black stem rust of
wheat and other cereal crops which,
in 1916. robbed Minnesota's farmers
of about 3O,O00,000 bushels Of wheat.
The first move in this campaign
was the recent action of the Cmomis-
sion of Public Safety declaring May
as Barberry Eradication Day. On
that day all patriotic citizens of the
state including the boys and girls
of the schools will be asked to make
a special effort to find and destroy
all common barberry plants in their
several communities.
This action was taken at the sug-
gestion Of E. M. Freeman, dean of
the college of agriculture and head
of the division which treats with
plant diseases.
The common barberry is known to
harbor the rust itself and to be one
of the chief sources from which GER
cal crops become infected. There are
two common forms-the green and
the purple. They grow from four to
eight feet tall. In the spring spores

stood under arms. Not one of
them was uniformly clad; each had
on the clothes which he wore in the
fields, the church, or the tavern.
"They stood, however, like soldiers;
well arranged and with military
air, in which there was but little to
find fault. All the muskets had
bayonets, and the sharpshooters had
rifles. The men all stood so still we
were filled with wonder. Not one Of
them made single motion ss if he
would speak with his neighbor. Nay
more, all the lads that stood there
in rank and file, kind nature hao
formed so trim, so slender, so ner-
vous, that it was pleasure to look
at them, and we were all surprised
at such we'll formed race"
If the Hessian's ghost returned
today, he would still find "the slim
nervous lads that stood in rank ano
file," with the same silent expression
of courage and fre-but now clad in
khaki in place of homespun.

GET AN HONOR FLAG.
One Goes to Every Town That Over
subscriber Third Loan
Quota.

Honor Flags will be presented to
each town that oversubscribes it's
quota in the Third Liberty Loan. The
flag will be 54 inches long and 36
inches wide. The body of the flag
will be white with a broad red border,
and three broad blue vertical stripes,
denoting the Third loan. The flags,
which will be of the same quality as
the flags of the navy, are already
being manufactured and will be
awarded as fast as the right to fly
them is won. Though awarded by the
Treasury department, they will be
distributed by the Liberty Loan COM
mittees Of the different districts.
There will also be National Hon
or flag for each state, to be shown
at the state capital, with the name
of each town winning a flag inscribed
upon it. There will be also preserv-
ed in the United States treasury
National Honor flag, with the record
Of each state REGARDED on it.
Stars, to be placed on the flag of
each city or town doubling its quota,
will be also awarded, and an addi-
tional star for each time the quota
is doubled.

THE AMERICAN LOOK.

Several foreign papers have re-
marked on the appearance of the
American soldier, as type so strong
ly set in it's individuality that it has
evoked interest in a world whose
jaded vision can but picture men in
khaki.
What in him has gained such wide
attention? It is the American look
that expression of intensified keen
ness, the look denoting eagerness,
zest, and-best of all-still unsatis-
fed interest in the world.
AS far back as .1777, when Bur
goyne with his Hessians surrendered
to the Colonial army after the bat
tie of Saratoga, that same impress
sion of the American expression was
apparent-A Hessian prisoner wrote
in his Memoirs:
eve passed through the American
camp in which all the regiments
The Redwood gazette., 1918-04-10

Through this inter-naturalizatio
of all peoples has come product
yet unknown-the American soldier.
For the butchers boy, the million
aires son, the clerk, the sport, and
the professor have joined the army.
And as they march by, you search
each face to trace some difference of
expression; but all you find is COM
mon look that covers all, and con-
verts that living mass of men into
one great expression of American
manhood.
No wonder the foreign papers have
marked it, for it is the look of Amer
lea awake. And that very look has
made America what it is, for it
stands for vision. 1t has made our
men what they are for it means zeal;
and, God granting, it will help make
the world what it ought to be, for
it stands for courage.
The lines come swinging towards
us, those long lines of men in khaki
men from the west with skins
bronzed by the winds Of the prairies;
boys from the south, with. languid
looks and smiles; clerks from the
desks of Wall street; and rich mems
sons, whose names have been a pass
word for sport and extravaganza
marching marching side by side, un-
der the Stars and Stripes.
Call it climate, if you will, call it
conditions of soil, prosperity, or strug-
gle-out of the melting pot of our
free land, out of the maelstrom of
immigration of Slav, Teuton, and the
Latin races, has evolved type-The

IMPOSSIBLE NOW
TO SURPRISE ALLIES

LONDON. July 17.-One Of the chiet
causes in the lack of success In the
German fifth and most ambitious drive
this year is the great Improvement in
the allies intelligence works. This is
due largely to our steadily growing
aerial superiority which renders even
martial surprise at this time impossible
In the preparations the extent of the
American participa ton can not now be
entirely revealed. Even if the present
offensive is merely checked instead OF
definitely stopped it must so far be con-
sidered an inglorious defeat in as much
as that despite the lengthiest and most
elaborate preparation none of the Ger
,,sr obiectives have been attained
The net result has been only isolated
nenetrations on comparatively lightly
held positions at the heaviest cost. The
earlv suppostion that this drive was
nrobably a side show now seems an
error. British and French military au-
thorities generally agree that develop
rnents show that German concentration
~, both sides of Rheims was too great
to allow effective operations anywhere
else.
