POTATO WART-A DANGER
GUS NEW DISEASE

The attention is called of all po-
tato growers, potato dealers and po-
tato users to this dangerous new dis
ease called Potato Wart, which has
been found in this vicinity within the
last few weeks. In Tucker County.
sixteen infected gardens were found
at Thomas, and one at Whitmer. 1t
was first brought to the attention of
the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture last
fall in the state of Pennsylvania and
is believed to have been brought to
this country from Europe several
years ago with a shipload of seed
potatoes that have been scattered far
and wide over the Eastern states.
The crops in Europe have suffered
considerably from this disease for a
good many years.
The disease is very easily rec
ognized by the spongy, warty out

upon the continued assistance of pub
lie health nurses.
Behind these public health nurses
we hope to have the sympathetic un-
derstanding and support of all the
women of the country. We believe
that we will have this when it is
realized fully what the nurse accom-
plishes for her community.
We depend upon the women of the
nation not only for understanding and
support, but we depend upon them to
encourage young women to take up
the profession of the public health
nurse, and to insist that hospitals
provide training for nurses in public
health service, including work in ven
ereal diseases
In backing the public health nurse,
the women of the nation will be back
ing one of the most vital agents in the
struggle against the diseases which
threaten the health and prosperity of
all of us, and the very life of our
children, which is the life of our ma
ton.
A public health nurse can teach you
the dangers of infection and how to
avoid it.
She can protect you and your child
rem by detecting disease in the COM
munity, and by having the proper
measures taken to isolate it and to
cure it.
She can help you to educate your
children in all that relates to their
bodies.
She can, by winning the confidence
of all members of the community, con-
stantly advise and protect them.
Have You Public Health Nurse in
Your Community?
There are many ways in which
women can aid in the fight against
disease. One of these ways is to in.
sist that there be sufficient number
of public health nurses in the com.
munity.
This should be the business of mer
as well as Of women, but because the
nurse is woman, because large
part 70 her work is with women anc
children, it is inevitable that womer
should feel a particular interest il
her.
If there is a nurse in your com
munity, do everything you can to aic
her in her work. If she needs assist
ants, provide them for her. Relieve
her of clerical duties which woman

or from the stem close to the tuber
These outgrowths are small at first,
but increase in size until they are
often as large as the tuber itself.
The warts are caused by parasitic
fungus and are at first light brown
in color, later turning black. When
they decay, millions of reproductive
bodies are liberated into the soil,
which are capable of injecting other
potato plants, or, the resting repro
ductive bodies swarm in the soil until
conditions are favorable for germin-
alton and infection. ONCE THE
SOIL is INFECTED WITH THE
PARASITE, POTATOES CANNOT
BE GROWN IN THAT PATCH FOR
A PERIOD OF EIGHT OR TEN
YEARS. To illustrate how destruc-
tive the disease is, one man in Thorn
as had planted II bushels of seed
potatoes, and harvested this fall 5
bushels. Furthermore, the parasite
may be carried into unaffected soil
in variety of ways, Il by drainage
from infected fields, (2) by the dis
tribution of infected soil las on agri-
cultural implements or on the feet of
men or animals, 60 by using farm
animals to which diseased tubers have
been fed, (4) by garbage into which
Feelings from diseased tubers have
been thrown, and especially ~ by
the planting of diseased tubers or of
tubers which have been grown in in
tested soil and carry the infection on
their surfaces.
/ 1t is the purpose of both Federal
and State authorities to inform all
9ersons regarding the danger so that
ehey will watch for the disease. Ex-
oeriments are now being conducted to
lind the best means of combating it
and what varieties of potatoes, if any,
are immune to the disease. 1t is
highly important that all localities
where it occurs be known as soon as
possible, in order that proper meas
ures may be taken to eradicate the
disease and prevent its further
spread. Report promptly any sus-
picious cases, and send specimens to

FIRST SALE YIELDED S3,00s
National tuberculosis Association,
Which Sponsors Sale, Will Place
65O,0o00 600 Seals on Sale to
Finance the Fight Against
tuberculosis.

The Red Cross Seal-as millions OF
Americans know it to day, is an agent
of happiness and health. 1t was orig
mated in 1907 by Miss Emily p. Bissell,
of Wilmington, Delaware, who learned
through Jacob Riis of somewhat siml-
lar seals that were sold in Norway for
the purpose of raising funds with
which to fight tuberculosis.
Miss Bissell persuaded the Ameri-
can Red Cross to take up the idea with
the result that seals were sold in
limited number of communities in
1908. The sale yielded revenue of
approximately $4,000 The Red Cross
then decided to issue the seals each
wear and to turn the proceeds over to
the National tuberculosis association
and its affiliated societies for the pur-
pose of financing the campaign against
tuberculosis. The number of seals
sold in America increased by leaps
and bounds until in 1917 the total
reached 1S0,000,000.
This year the seals are again on
sale beginning December /. More
than half a billion seals, have been
nrinted for distribution to state and
local agents. In addition to the
seals Health Bonds in denomina-
lions ranging from $50 TO 500. 90
are to be sold in lieu of seals to
large contributors, who do not send
out a sufficient quantity of mali in
December to make use of all the seals
they would like to purchase. The
combined quotas OF all the stats or
CARNATIONS call for more than S6,500,-
600 to carry out the intensive educa-
ticnal campaign being conducted by
the National tuberculosis Association
and its 1000 affiliated societies.
The intensive sale of these seals
represents practical demonstration
of every lesson that has been learned
regarding scientific distribution. Ex-
| perts of the highest standing in sales

electeda Johnson, first as counsel for
interests opposing the railroad corpo-
ration and later as governor, waged
bitter and unremitting warfare against
railroad domination. His final victory
was a potent factor In his election to
the senate In 1916. Johnson is a Re
publican, but generally regarded as
one Of the radical type. He has, like
Poindexter, strongly opposed the
League of Nations.
Senator William e. Borah of Idaho
does not differ greatly in the degree of
his achievements from the two other
westerners. Born in Wayne county,
H., Borah was educated in the COM
mon schools of that state and at KAN
sas State University. He was admit
ted to the bar in 1890 and devoted his
time to legal practice until his election
to the senate in 1907. Borah is one Of
the most active figures in the United
States senate. His efforts largely have
been directed toward the proper de-
velopment of the great natural re-
sources of the country, especially of
the West. He is known as a progress
sive Republican, fearless in fighting
for what he believes to be right and,
like the others included in this presi-
dental group, has opposed from the

The fact that the West decided the

there are, nevertheless, 16 states west

vOrable attention by his judicial abili-
ty. In 1908 Poindexter was elected as
representative from the state of
Washington to the Sixty-6rst Congress.
He soon became known as an able, pro-
gressive Republican. In the senate, to
which he was elevated In 1910, he was
staunch advocate of measures favor
ing the control and restriction of big
corporations, especially of the rail
roads. He sought the conservation OF
all natural resources of the country,
including water power, coal and oil
lands. Before the war he stood strong
ly for preparedness and later he Wig
orously supported all measures Of the
administration for the protection of
American rights. He advocated throw
the successful prosecution of the war.
Mr.. Poindexter believes that Bolshe-
vism and all other movements destruc-
tive of representative government and
national spirit should be strongly TAX
en- in hand and that leaders in at
tempts to overthrow our institutions
should be severely punished. He is
opposed to any scheme for creating a

The double barred Red Cross is
seventeen years old this month. In
October, 1902, the International ANTI
tuberculosis Association, then meeting
in Berlin, adopted the cross as the
emblem of the worldwide fight against
tuberculosis. 1t was proposed by DR..
G. Sersiron, of Paris. 1t is conf
bination of the CroiX de Lorraine and
the cross of the Greek Catholic
church. Both crosses are symbolic of
charity and help to humanity. Their
combined features were selected and
adopted as the symbol of the hope of
civilization. Four years later, in 1906
the double barred Red Cross was car
ried into this country 1t was in 1906
the National tuberculosis Association

recent health survey, made by the
experts of the National tuberculosis

startling statistics with regard to the
prevelency of the disease. The find
ings of this survey have revealed a
national menace, which must be eradi-

The untaught consumptve-one who
does not know the rules Of health, is
an indefatigable spreader of the dis

will be localized and within a short
time there will be ample work for
many thousands of volunteers.
