MEXICO SENDS REPLY
CaRRANZA REFUSES TO DROP
CHARGES AGAINST JENKINS,
Declares State Departments Belief In
Innocence of Official Does Not
Absolve Him Under Law.

Mexico City, Dec. 19.-The release
of William O. Jenkins, American con
sular agent at Puebla, under bail, hns
removed all motive for misunderStand-
ing between the Mexican and United
States governments regarding the
Jenkins issue, according TO the reply
of the Mexican government to the sec
ond American note on the subject.
The Mexican reply was handed TO the
American charge d'affaires.
The communication signed by Hi
lario Medina who is In charge of the
foreign relations department, is
addressed TO George T. Summerlln, In
charge Of the American embassy.
The note declares the jenkins case
has taken on an altogether different
aspect since the American agents re-
lease. In polite terms it differs with
the American objection TO former le-
gal technicalities, reaffirming that the
Jenkins case Is entirely a Legal one.
Moreover. the Mexican answer points
out, the American governments he
lief In Mr.. Jenkins innocence of the
charge against him is not enough TO
warrant setting aside Mexican laws.

TROUBLESOME
SHADE TREE SCALES

Clemson College, June 28.-Dur-
ing this season Of the year this Of
fee often receives reports Of the oc-
currence of heavy infestations of two
scale insects very commonly found
on shade trees in our cities, says
Prof. A. F. Conrad, Entomologist,
The most common of these is known
as the Gloomy scale on account of
its gloomy looking appearance, re-
sembling very much the color of the
bark Of the maple on which is occurs.
This scale is important for two rea-
sons, the rapidity with which it
breeds, and the fact that it is al
most entirely confined to the soft
naples 50 largely used for shade
trees in our cities.
The Gloomy scale belongs to the
same family as the San Jose scale
but is larger, darker gray in color,
and leaves a characteristic white
spot when the scale is removed.
This scale insect, like the San Jose,
is very injurious to the trees and
will in time kill. them If control
measures are not employed.
Another important enemy of our
shade trees is known as the Cottony
maple scale, a native parasite Of our
soft naples. It is rarely If ever m
furious to the naples growing in
our forests, but often becomes 50
destructive to shade trees in cities
and parks as to necessitate control
measures.
This SCALE, unlike the Gloomy
scale, appears very much worse some
years than others, owing to the ap-
pearance of it's insect parasites. The
Cottony maple scale appears early in
the summer, and when abundant is
very conspicuous, the undersides Of
the leaves being heavily coated with
cotton-like waxy masses, each pro-
jecting from a brown cap or scale.
Control for both species is the
same. Spray with heavy oils. The one
probably nearest us in Schnarr's.

Easy Way to obtain Money
for Conveniences.

ALTHOUGH q family may not be
wealthy enough for the '1ady Of the
house to have all the little convent
encss she wants, through Thrift and
War Savings Stamps the government
has provided a way for the housewife
to fit up her kitchen, paint the house
furnish her spare room or embellish
the parfor.
These women who were 80 wise as
to begin saving systematically early
in 1918 have nice little sums invested
in War Savings Stamps by this time
Eleven War Savings Stamps, some
of which cost as little as $4.12 apiece

In many instances, the housewife
would not have saved anything to
speak Of, had it not been for the War
Savings Stamps. ..
Women are quick to grasp the bene
fits from habits Of thrift. Numerous
reports have been received at district
headquarters Of the War Loan Organ

District Of women who have started

PELLAGRA WORK
TO BE CONTINUED

WashingtLr, June 27.-Opposing
the report of the senate finance COM
mittee which struck the item from
the bill and reported adversely to it,
Senator Dial today made a vigorous
speech in the senate and saved the
appropriation of 100000 for the pei
lagro hospital at Spartanburg.
As a rule the senate stands by it's
committees, except in very unusual
cases, but today Senator Dial, who is
thoroughly familiar with pellagro in
the South, made so strong an appeal
that the items was saved. Had this
not been done the hospital would
have closed June 80 and no more pei
lagro work would have been done in
South Carolina, at least for another
year.
Congressman Nichols of Spartan
burg, took care of the situation in
the house and saved the matter there
before it went to the senate finance
committee.
Blue Submits Data.
Surgeon General Rupert Blue,
chief of the public health service,
submitted to Senator Dial the follow
ing data, which the latter used efec-
lively:
"In the sundry civil bill, as passed
by the house, an appropriation OF
$4,000 was made for special studies
of pellagra. This appropriation has
been regularly made since July 1,
1914.
"The hospital and laboratory are
located at Spartanburg, S. c., the
building in which the work is carried
on being leased to the federal gov
eminent for a nominal sum. The
work which has been conducted in
this hospital and laboratory has been
(1) a study Of the effect of proper
diet upon the course of pellagra and
(2) laboratory studies upon the ma
ture of the disease the patients in
the hospital furnishing the basis for
these studies.
