THE WAR ON sTUMPs


State College of Agriculture as an
aggressive ally, have declared war on
the stumps that stand as ugly monu-
ments to human inertia and thrift
lessness in so many Georgia fields.
Through the industrial department
of the railroad administration, &C
cording to a press report from Cor
dele, Ga. the correlated railroads
have planned a county-to-county
stamping campaign" which is to be
initiated with stump eradication
demonstration to be staged soon in
Crisp county.
j. Phil Campbell, of the extension
department of the state college, has
announced that that institution will
back the proposed campaign with all
vigor.
This is q timely undertaking, and
much good should result from it.
Stumps standing in a plowed field
or surrounded by growing crops
look slOuchy, slovenly, homogeneous,
and, whether justifiably so or not,
neglected stumps necessarily convey
the impression that the owner of the
field in which they stand is slug
gard.
But worse than that is the waste
they represent, for stumps are about
the most expensive uncompensated
Disagreement that a farmer can have
upon his premises.
They cost in ground area; they cost
in labor-time wasted by men and
teams in cultivating around them;
they cost tool breakage; they cost
in wear and tear upon implements,
horseflesh, man-power and they cost
in efficiency of labor, for there is
scarcely anything in connection with
farm work that is more exasperating
and wearying to the nervous system
than guiding a pillow, a harrow or q
reaper among roots and snags and
stumps.
And they are not hard to remove
when the proper method is used.
Burning is common means, but one
with many disadvantages. In the first
place, it is slow, usually not thorough,
and worst of all, it destroys the ''life"
the humus-in the land where the
stumps stood, requiring years of re-
construction to bring it back to its
former productivity.
But dynamite or blasting powder
will turn the trick" in a jiffy, with
oout injury to the land and with little
danger to human life or live stock
if handled with understanding and
precaution.
Then, there are on the market a
dozen or more types of stump-pullers,
to be operated by hand, horse, steam
or gasoline power Each has its good
points to recommend it, and any one
of them is far and away ahead of the
shovel and crowbar-but even the
last method is better than burning
The purpose back of the proposed
demonstration campaign is to teach
rural communities how most advan-
tageously to clear their land of
stumps. either by blasting of with
the aid of one of the approved stump
pulling machines. The enterprise is a
highly meritorious one and it should
be cordially supported by farmers
and business men.

Until Now, all up-to-date papers
have had to keep thousands Of pic
lures of celebrities, statesmen, poll
ticians, leaders of every form OF
human endeavor and even pictures
of ships, noted airplanes and build
ings, etc. in their files or "morgue"
as it is called, so that in case the
subject of any of these pictures is
involved in the daily news, a pic
ture can be published along with the
item. Most of these pictures are
never used, but they must be kept
in case something might happen.
Can't Be Foreseen.
But in the great majority of cases,

other papers, it has hundreds on

sassinated, if well-known ship is

But the invention and perfection
of telephotography has made it pos

events happen, when accidents
occur, the pictures can be tele-

Cinder In Gob's Eye Leads
to Visiting Nurse Romance
Omaha Evangel of Mercy Weds Sailor Whose Dis
abled Optic She Restored to Normal Condition
Cupid Busy While Obstruction Being Removed

Mrs. Ralph Hershey, nee Annie
Andrews, has resigned from the
service of the Visiting Nurse asso-
citation of Omaha, with which or
ganization she has been identified
as head of the infant welfare work.
The reason of her resignation is
due indirectly to her ability to min
lister to the disabilities of adults as
we'll as infants, and one particular
ministration of this kind resulted in
her marriage few days ago.
1t is the latest romance within
the ranks of Omaha nurses.
Mrs. Hershey served several eve
nings each week for a period of
months as hospital nurse in canteen
work at Union station. Fate placed
her in the way of a sailor who suf-
fered a cinder in his eye at Union
station. He tried to remove the OBJ
struction himself, but the more he
tried the more pain he suffered.
Omaha daily bee., 1919-10-18

Who would remove the offending
cinder from the sailors eye?
Annie Andrews, nurse, quickly
responded, and in less time than ii
takes to tell it, she restored the
disabled eye to its normal eondi-
ton.
While the nurse was removing
the cinder from one eye of the
sailor, he used the other eye to
good advantage, for he looked into
a pair of blue eyes and forthwith he
capitulated. He thanked his evan
gal of mercy, calamity gave her his
name and time did the rest.
A tiny cinder was the center of
this little romance.
Mr.. Hershey was Is months in
the naval service. He is now en-
ployed by an Omaha automobile
firm. Mrs. Hershey came to Oma-
ha from England. She is brunette.
Members of the Visiting Nurse as
ISOLATION gave her a present.

RINGER SAYS NO
APOLOGY NEEDED
FOR The POLICE
Declares That Persons Who
Took Part In Riot
Should Make the
Explanations.

]. Dean Ringer, police commits
sioner, speaking at a Kiwanis club
luncheon in the Chamber of Com
merce rooms yesterday, declared
that he need make no explanation
for the failure of the police depart
ment to stop rioting in Omaha. The
people who started the riot are the
ones who should explain, he said.
He offered a 40-minute alibi for
his departments failure in the great
crisis, however. In substance he as
serted that the unrest which brought
on the riot in Omaha was nation
wide, and not caused by any activity
OF police here. that for some reason
the people of Omaha did not re-
spect the police department as they
should, hence the disastrous results
when the crisis arose; and that the
police might soon be in a position
to cope with the present situation
in Omaha.
Admits Decentralization.
Propaganda against the police de-
partment has completely democrat
lied it," he declared. "The war in
Europe could not have come to a
victorious conclusion if newspapers
had criticised the army of this
country" ...#-.
In his eagerness to convince his
audience that his police department
was blameless, Mr.. Ringer referred
to the latest issue of the Literary
Digest, quoting an article which
called attention to the lynching Of
four negroes in other parts of the
country. Unfortunately, the article
did not tell of any except the Doug
las county court house being burn
ed. but Mr.. Ringer did not call at
tention to this.
Defines a Bootlegger.
Mr.. Ringer, during his speech.
gave his definition of bootlegger.
II have been criticised for run
ming down the small bootlegger and
overlooking larger things" he said.
people wonder why no large bust
ness men are arrested for bootleg
ging. Any man who carries a pint
on his hip while on the streets is a
bootlegger. The big business men,
who drink, take their liquor to their
homes, where the law allows them
to have it. Hence they are not ar
rested"
In closing, Mr.. Ringer declared
that he was going through on the
principles on which he had started.
IF ! fail" he said, all right, but
my conscience will not be troubled"
City Commissioners FOWL and
Falconer were also guests OF the
Kiwanis club. They gave short
talks on the progress of their de-
partments.
