abr drug fiends become crim-
 is a question that has ardent
 bporters on both sides. Dr. James 'A. Hamilton, Commissions of Correc- ton of New York, is inclined to the belief that the use of drugs breeds criminals. 4<.s ,sx < sgsss.
 Dr. Hamilton is convinced tha< thA drug evil is one that threatens tos dermine the nation Drug ad1ictioA is disease and has become such an increasing menace that, if allowed to continue unchecked. it will ruin not only the individual but the nation as we'll" he declares. An idea of the legitimate traffic carried on in New York City may be gained from the official report that during one month the 2,600 drug stores sold S76 ounces of morphine, 72 ounces of cocaine, and 1890 ounces of heroin. These are the sales accounted for. There is no method Of keeping in touch with the "peddlers who dispose of contraband dope smuggled past the customs off, clals and who, according to common report, are numerous and we'll sup ! piled.
 The drug traffic is such a sordid l subject, so intertwined with criminol- ! ogy, that the average citizen holds up ! his hands in pious horror of becom- | ing contaminated through interesting 1 himself in it. The day Is not far off, ] however, when every thinking man l and woman must give it attention. It 1 is one of the most vicious and de- 1 praying practices to which man has 1 descended because it wrecks the lives l of those who become addicted and the lives of their families. It is far worse than alcoholic intoxication. Throw ing the unfortunate fiends into jail is not the solution; that simply helps to fill the madhouses. Severe laws do not seem to have had the desired ef-
 feet. The subject must be treated as
 other vices are being treated, through
 channels of education. Repression
 has failed entirely Something else
 must be substituted.

Diamonds In Country
Represent Huge Sum

The value of the diamonds in the
United States at the present time is
apparently more than $1,O00,OO0.O 900.
AS early as 1900 a distinguished 1ia-
mond expert of the United States
said: TT may be safely said that
S5OO,O00,O00 worth of diamonds are
owned in the United States" and
compilation just made by the Ma
tional City Bank of New York shows
that the value of diamonds imported
since 1900 is $506,000,000. This alone
would bring the total value Of the
diamonds of the country above the
billion dollar line, but when it is re-
membered that $175,O00,0OO worth of
the diamonds imported since 1900
came in the uncut state, and that
their value was doubled by the cut
ting process which occurred within
this country, it is apparent that the
value of the stock in the country is
considerably more than $1,000,0 00,-
900, to say nothing of the further
fact that prices of diamonds have
increased materially during the
war. Abouts one-half of the worlds

Cooperative Care of a
Rural ChurChVard

A new form of cooperative effort
displayed itself pleasantly in one
rural community I visited a few
days ago. The scene was an old
churchyard or burying ground; and
all of us know that the majority OF
our Southern graveyards look neg
lected. Old DR.. Knapp used to say
that they looked as if they didn't
believe in a resurrection" But this
one was different. It's an endowed
churchyard, and there's no reason
why many others should not be
similarly endowed. The members
of the church contributed part Of the
money, and the committee also call
ed on welrto-do people in the towns
who had ancestors or relatives bur-
led there, to contribute; $500 was
raised, the amount invested in Lib
erty bonds, and the income is used
in keeping the grounds neat and
beautiful. Just by keeping

Serious Wheat Diseases
Discovered in Illinois

Two serious diseases of wheat
hitherto unknown in this country re-
Gently have been discovered in Madi-
son county, Illinois, according to the
United States department of agri-
culture in a statement issued today
The first is disease apparently
identical with the "take-all' or
''white-heads" known in many foreign
countries. Take-aIl has caused Sc
rious losses in the Wheat fields of
Australia, and has been reported as
q pest of wheat, oats, barley, rye,
rice, and certain wild grasses in Eu-
rope. The second disease is flag
smut of wheat (urocystis triticD,
which also is serious disease of
wheat in Australia, and is known in
India and Japan. Neither pest, how
ever, has ever been reported to
cause losses comparable to those re-
sulting from the. great epidemic
of black stem rust in this country.
Although these diseases may cause
heavy losses to individual farmers,
the total area likely to be affected,
before eradication or control meas
ures are established, probably will
not be large, the department says.
The losses in the total area affect
ed this year will have no appreciate
effect upon the total production of
this years wheat crop.
The presence of these diseases
was discovered through a renort from
the county agent of Madison county,
Illinois, stating that wheat was be-
ing seriously injured by some dis
ease. An investigation was made
promptly by representatives of the
Illinois agricultural experiment sta
ton and the United States depart
ment of agriculture. The damage
in the fields attacked was found to
vary from a fraction of one per cent
to as much as 80 per cent. In some
fields the DANA that
the farmers were blowing UP the
wheat and preparing to plant corn.
