SMUT AND TAKE ALL
NOT FEARED BY U. s.
AGRICULTURE men

WASHINGTON, July %. - Indica-
tons are that the two dreaded for
eign foes of wheat, flag smut and
take-all will not become widespread
in the United States. The United
States department Of agriculture an
nounced today that the two states
where these diseases appeared, 1ndi-
ana and Illinois, had taken steps
which would prevent the spread Of the
disease from the infected fields and
which would wipe out in a few years,
the infection in fields where it exists.
All the infected wheat in both states
is under control and will be disinfect-
ed before any use whatever is made
Of 1t, the department has been advised.
All straw and stubble are to be burn
ed, threshing machines are to be thor
oughly disinfected, and no wheat is
to be grown in infected areas for sew
eral years.

the destruction was terrifying even in
the calm of peace. Towns and cities
lay in dust before us. Skeletons OF
men filled shellholes and I brought
back with me a camouflaged helmet
with bullet hole in it. Lying near
were the bones Of a man, the bones
still remaining in his boots"

warning note to housewives, for the
continued practice Of economy in
sugar, during the next winter. AL
though the wholesale dealers say that
there is sugar on the ma rket at pres
ent to meet ordinary demands. waste

next winter.
Retail grocers say that they have
enough sugar in stock, or avala BILE
to meet average demands of the city
but that it is still necessary to prac
tice economy in its use. According
to information received here, there
will be a 80 days supply of sugar held
at the eastern ports. which was intend
ed for Europe, but which has been di
verted for use in this country.
This will aid considerably in solv

There is no sign of any change in the
price Of sugar in the near future, as
the present price, which averages
around 10 cents pound. seems to be
the settled price.

JULY, USUALLY Dull,
BREAKS RECORDS IN
RICHMOND BANKING

Banking business in Richmond, &C
cording to local bankers, has been
larger during July, than ever before
in the history of local banking. AL
though there are no figures on the &C
tual amount Of business done bankers
are agreed that the volume of bust
ness for this month which Is usually
a dull month in banking, has been
greater so far than in any previous
year.
Numerous conditions, bankers say,
contribute to this increase in business
volume, but the principal causes are
the higher prices and increased wages,
grain and live stock movements, in
creased deposits and more depcsitors,
and the investment in bonds
Formerly, when prices were much
lower, men used cash for purchases,
but now, with the same article costing
twice as much, these men usually do
not carry sufficient cash to cover the
purchase, and instead, pay by check
through the banks.
Increased wages, which in some in
stances, have caused wage earners to
start savings accounts, as we'll as
checking accounts, and the laboring
man is learning to use the bank
Grain Sale Big Help.
Although the grain yield per acre
has not been large in Wayne county
this year, the amount of grain planted
was far greater than in former years
and banks are feeling the increase in
business, due to the sale of the grain
The price now being paid to farmers
for their grain is also much higher
than formerly, and causes an increase
in the amount of money received.
Bonds have done more than any
other one thing, bankers say, to in
crease banking business. Persons
who before the war never transacted
any business with banks, have pur
chased government bonds during the
war, and have since become acquaint
ed with banks and banking. Through
payment for bonds, which in a grea'
number of cases has been made or
the installment plan, people have be
come accustomed to using banks il
handling their financial affairs.
In spite of the increase in business
bankers claim that it has been the re
suit of a healthy normal growth II
business and industrial circles, ant
the fact that a great number of people
have learned the lesson of thrift, anc
have found that the bank offers thu
ideal means for saving and invest

agree to the closed shop principle.
The union committees in charge of
the strike declared today that the men
were prepared to remain out indef1r-
itely. With both sides firm in their
stand and no compromise, it appeared
probable that the dispute might be re-
ferred to the Department of Labor's
division on mediation and councilia-
ton.
The marine engineers, who have
been actively aiding the strikers by
refusing to ship on boats where non
union men have taken the place of
strikers, virtually joined the strike
yesterday, when the organization sent
out circulars directing it's members
not to sign for voyages, except with
shipping companies which met their
demands. Crews of towboats of sew.
eral railroad companies engaged In
hauling coal barges from New York to
New England have struck, demanding
SIS more a month. The strikers on
towboats are not connected with the
striking ocean seamen.

State Life License Laws
Explained; Examinations
Will Be Held Saturday

Examination for teachers licenses,
in Wayne county, will be held in the
superintendent's office in the court
house next Saturday morning. Con-
siderable interest is being shown in
the examinations this year, due chiefly
to the new school laws, and amend
ments to others, in the last legisla-
ture.
Conditions under which teachers
may be given life certificates, and the
provision which enables two students
from each county to enter Indiana uni
versity. with all contingent fees paid,
are attracting much attention through
| out the county.
In order to obtain a life diploma,
| with which future examinations are
not required, the following conditions
in the grade teachers examination
must be complied with according to
| the state laws:
| First, they must have completed
some special course of not less than
two years training, one-fifth the cred
its in that curse to be educational,
and, second must have not less than
fifty months actual experience teach
ing.
High School Teachers
| The conditions affecting high school
teachers are similar to the foregoing,
except that a four year course of spe-
cial training instead of a two year
course is required.
In the case Of both high school and
grade teachers the preparatory course
means that they must have completed
a full course of instruction and gradu-
ated from some accredited normal
school. college or university.
The state board Of education prefers
that all applications for life certif-
Gates be made through the county
superintendent in order that they
may be submitted simultaneously and
| to prevent delay and confusion.

Supplies for Armenia

PARIS, Monday, July 22-The
American relief administration has re-

Green, who is in charge of Armenian
relief, saying the Georgian govern

Armenians and compel them to join
