The Peach Crop

Having felt rather secure from the
effects of the recent cold snaps the
peach growers in this vicinity were be-
ginning to look forward to large crop
and handsome returns when there sud-
denly appeared blight which caused
the feeling of happiness to become one
of depression. The new menace is
designated "brown rot" The Vine
land Peach Growers Association held
a meeting last week and "how to mas
ter the brown rot" was the subject dis
cussed by experts from the New Jersey
State Experiment Station and from
Washington, ID. c. Some growers re-
ported the Carmens and Belle OF
Georgia all killed and other growers
reported their orchards apparently I'M
touched by the scourge.
The experts found that in some or
chards every other row was. untouched
and orchards with the least care free
of rot. The experts had no remedy to
offer and expressed themselves al
sea-" The final conclusion was thai
the rot is different in MANY respects
from anything yet seen and each
grower was left to work out his own
theory.

Hair at $50 an ounce.

Peasant girls of France are more
than ever abandoning the close fitting
native headgear, to wear which they
had to have their tresses cut. In
rural France there is a widespread
movement for the adoption of the
"towny'' style, which, if less pictur-
esque, makes for the preservation of
woman's chief glory.
This fact, coupled with the total dis
appearance from the market of
Chinese hair, from which the cheaper
grades of Switches" and tails" used
to be made, renders false hair ex-
tremely expensive in France. "There
are no more so-called hair fairs held
in France nowadays says a promi
nent hair specialist, "and natural
blond plaits are worth at least $50 ar
ounce.

Ringing Brothers and Barnum
& Bailey Mammoth Shows.

& Bailey Mammoth Shows.
The worlds biggest amusement in
stitution, Ringing Brothers and Bar
mum & Bailey Shows combined, is to
exhibit afternoon and night at Cam
den, Saturday, May II. The consolid-
alton of the Worlds Greatest Shows"
and the Greatest Show on Earth" in
one circus of colossal size, constitutes
the amusement surprise of the country.
Nothing to approach this gigantic,
new circus has ever before toured
America. 1t has been formed by
merging the pick and the cream Of all
that was biggest and best in the two
famous shows. 1t would. be folly to
attempt to enumerate its many won
ders. Some idea of the enormous scale
upon which features are presented may
be had when it is stated that a quarter
of million pounds take part in sin
gle act. In other words-six times as
many of the big-eared giants than
have ever before been seen in one main
tent exhibition. All else to be seen is
in proportion. The arenic stars en-
brace all the worlds foremost circus
performers. There are three hours oil
novelties and big sensational acts.
The menagerie is far and away the
most colossal ever travelled. For in
stance--a herd of eight giraffes are eX
hibited in place of the two or thre'
shown in the past. The great lourna
ment which opens the main tent pro
gram, is the most magnificent thing
in pageantry yet produced in America
Hundreds upon hundreds of gorgeous
Iy costumed characters and beautiful
horses take part in it. The mornin
street parade IS the longest and mos
brilliant ever given anywhere. 1t is
stupendous, super-circus that battle

ROYS AND REVOLVERS.

\ Bill has been introduced in con-
gress to prohibit the shipment Of eN-
plcsives and firearms 70 minors. 1t is
meant primarily to prevent the pur-
chase OF revolvers from n?ail-order
houses By lads likely TO misuse them.
This is q step IN the right direction.
Such legislation. if it proves lega!
ard practicable, should be supple
,.,ented by State and municipal laws
calculated 20 keep certain types Of
firearms out Of the hands Of minors
ard also Of adults who have no busi-
..css with them.
Rifles and shotguns fo.' legitimate
hunting or sarget-shcoting are one
thing: revolvers are quite another
thing. It may be granted that even
boys, especially in rural districts, may
properly possess the former il they
have skill anG sense enough to use
them properly. But the time has
passed, in almost every American
ccnmunity, when it is necessary for
anybody. young or old. with the ex-
ception of police authorities. to carry
or own pocket firearms.
Most of the crimes of violence now
adays are pernetrated b. youths with
reyolvcrs. Most of the cases OF ac-
cidental shooting are due to having
loaded rcvolvers in the house. 1t is
time TO class revolvers with wlliskey
ard deadly drugs, and restrict their
d!Striution.

Navy IN getting men restored to ac-
tivi1y and placed in jobs which they
can swing.
AS Golfers Weekly says: "It is a
good law and a glorious work. And
section Z gives all the rest of us a
chance to help
Section Z says: The board is here
by authorized to receive such gifts
and donations from either public or
private sources as may be offered un-
cord;tional.y. All moneys received as
gifts or donations shall be paid into
the Treasury Of the United States anil
shall constitute a permanent fund to
be called the Special Fund for Vo-
cational Rehabilitation
Tie board is to direct the disburse-
nlent of the fund. and report annual
ly to congress.
When the casualty lists are finally
completed, it is going to be unhap-
ply evident that there was great
need Of this legislation. and that the
field for donations will be a large
ono. The suggestion is made that
people who profted greatly in war
work may well contribute largely, but
the donations should not be limited
to this clas alone Any patriotic
American who has something to give
should be glad 70 give part Of it to this
work Of restoring to usefulness the

history. 1t ranks With the deG;ruc-
ton CT our white pine forest in the
early numbering days as one Of the
colossa! blunders rooted IN ignorance
and fcstered by greed, with which the
history Of new lands is too often
stained
The folly Of thci!. destruction WAS
recognized TOO late fo: the tardy Car1e
laws to do any good. Attempts were
then made to breed the birds in cap
tivity. h.. they are essentially chill
drcn Of .41e open and Derished almost
as swiftly under mans nature as ur-
Ger his gun fire, the last known pair
dying in 1914.
Rewards offered since then for the
discovery of passenger pigeons have
gone uaearned. and until this latest
news revived It. hope that they still
existed had been abandoned.
Perhaps they have indeed been
breeding in some secret haunt, as
has been claimed. and now are Ven
turing forth, tempted by whispers Of
world disarmament Or stirred by
jealousy lest man with his new found
wings shall wrest from them their
records for long and speedy fight.
Perhaps the laws destined for their
protection were not insvain after all,
and continued safety has bred return
ing confidence.
In any event their temperance will
be. hailed with delight by e nation
coming, though SLOWLY. to an appre-
citation Of the value of its bird citizens,
and their protection now will be as
great a matter Of public concern as
tneir former destruction was Of pub
lie neglect.

in political history that such a move
ment. in theory so idealistic, should
have been suddenly perverted, in this
and various other countries, to a.
practical championship of a German
s>: EN- Of political and military ag-
sressjon which is the diametrical or-
pos;te Of what Socialism had always
professed to represent.
Socialism as a theoretical plan for
reconstructing society still exists, and
commands support among many
thinking men as one possible solution
for political and economic problems.
But anv intelligent non-Socialist must
wonder how men holding such views
as those of Victor Berger and other
like-minded Americans can still call
themselves Socialists.
