" AKING notice of the American Anti
Malaria Association which is to be or
ganized at Florence, Alabama, in m

ganized at Florence, Alabama, in mid
October, the Birmingham News remarks: cit
is appropriate that a national drive for free
dom from malaria should begin this country,
and peculiarly fitting that it should be start
ed at Muscle Shoals, towards which eyes of
the nation have been turned for many months.
The movement began with an effort to eX-
tirpate malaria in the Tennessee river district
where large Government works are located.
It's Importance gives ample cause for hope
that it may be extended to function for the
benefit of millions of persons who populate
the 1Owands of this continent"
This latter suggestion is aptly made, for
it is altogether erroneous idea that ma
laria is southern malady. The rigOrs of
the far north are in themselves no guarantee
against the disease. Western States in far
higher latitude than Alabama have been
among the acutest sfferers from malaria but
by draining their swamp lands and taking
simple hygienic precautions they have shaken
off, or more fifty speaking, have shooed
away, their old enemy. Abolish the breeding
places of the notwithstanding mosquito and
the disease is conquered.
This was demonstrated in striking and
beneficent fashion during the war. Numbers
of environments, together with the neigh
boring country, were virtually freed from ma
laria, thanks to the Army health service and
civilian cooperation. This be done by
any State, or community that takes the time
and pains. ..s.l,s--.r-..s. .sss.sra..s

tn HE "Old Hickory Division is as wise
in peace as it was valiant in war. BY
well-nigh unanimous vote of its
eighteen thousand veterans it has memorial
1zed the United States Senate to ratifv the
Peace Treaty, including the League of Ma
tons Covenant, without amendments and
Wtlhout needless delay. This is peculiarly
significant appeal, coming from a body of
Americans who played so decisive a part in
the last critical stages of the war and whose
record is truly described as being "written
with flame, carved with steel and sealed with
blood"
There was no tinge of politics in the Old
H1ckory's earnest resolutions; there was moth
ing but thoughtful patriotism. AS men who
had followed the flag into the wars grimmest
reaches and haZarded their all for their coun-
try, they ask that the peace which they fought
to win be made secure and that the sacrifice
of their comrades left sleeping by the battle
fields of France be not left unavailing. They
rightly reason that without some buwark and
cOnserver of International peace and justice,
such as the League of Nations affords the
courage and the sacrifice may prove at last
to have been in vain. For it the world is to go
back to it's old ways of distrust, intrigue and
militaristic competition 1T is as certain to
reap another harvest of CHASTITY war as cpl
denies spring from unguarded contagious.
The American army and fleet did not fight
for mere armistice or a transient peace.
The American people did not shoulder bill
lions of taxes just for few years lull in a
storm of blood. Those who won the war and
those who are paying the bill want the fruits
of their loyalty safeguarded and the triumph
of their faith insured That is why they want
the Treaty and the League ratified without
more clubbing.

More Money in Potatoes.
A wild eyed man named Martin
breezed through two sessions Of
Congress in the early SOS. and was
given the sobriquet ''the Kansas Cy-
clone" because of his rushing tactics.
He had heard that many men were
making all kinds of money here act
ing as lobbyists for big interests.
He rented a room in the old Cor
coran Building at Fifteenth street

ent site of the Hotel Washington,

and all the money he had saved, the

Speaking Of his experience in Wash

'I was fatally mistaken about the
lobbying business. 1t is a delusion
and a snare. I can make more
money raising potatoes on my place
in Kansas than ! can here trying
to persuade Congressman to vote for
bills and resolutions in which they
are not interested"

navy and as such served in the At
lantic blockading squadron off the
Carolina coast. Rose claimed that his
discharge from the navy was irreg-
ular and that had he continued In the
service until the close of the war he
would automatically have reached the
rank of lieutenant commander of the
navy under an act passed by Con-
gress which provided that certain
petty officers, including masters
mates, who had served in the civil
war, could be promoted through the
several grades to commissioned Of
ficers. Rose therefore stoutly main
tanned that he was entitled to the
rank and emoluments of a lieutenant
commander. He explained that he
was given the bogus discharge in or
der that he might go to New Jersey
and electioneer in the Lincoln-McClel-
Ian Presidential campaign.
Reported for Twenty Years.
Rose procured a full dress uniform
OF a lieutenant commander in 1866. and
attired in this outfit he presented him

Secretary Whitney, after consulta-

department. informed the persistent
Rose that he was without authority
to act in the matter and any redress
must come from Congress. Rose then

Butter-Oleo Fight.
One Of the biggest battles wased
y alobbyists was the fight made by
ae pure butter people against the
uterine anl oleomargarine interests.
he butter people in the contest were
eaded by Joseph Reall, president OF

xpensive suite of rooms in the Ma

and dollars were spent by both sides
n the terrific fight that ensued. The
ieomargarine bill was fought step
by step by the butter people, but
inally became a law.
Good Judge of Butter.
Engaged on the side of the butter
interests was a most picturesque lit
de man known as Judge" Lobe, who
vas formerly engaged in the dairy
business at Pittsburgh. Lobe made
many acQuaintances in Washington,
and will be remembered as a familiar
figure here about thirty-five years
|ayo. He was rather diminutive in
size. dressed fastidiously and wore
ION his perfectly bald head a high
silk hat. He was not an educated
mao, but was possessed with what is
known as the gift OF CAB"
Asked one day by a Congressman

honorable title Of judge?"

best Judge Of butter in Pittsburgh" !"
Lobe responded.
After working with the butter in
terests several'months, Lobe is said
to have received a flattering offer
from the oleOmargarine people, and
he promptly left Reall and his assO-

June Rains

June is starting off bad for the
farmers who had hoped that the
month would bring some dry
weather. There has already been
some heavy rains, the biggest fall
ing Tuesday night and Wednesday
morning. This rain stopped farm
ing several days if no more rains
should fall. The outlook for a
crop this year is certainly very
gloomy at this writing. June of
last year was a wet month and re-
suited ia cutting short many crops,
but the crops then had been planted
in April and May, now, in many
sections, they are not even planted
and it will soon be too late to
plant.

More Rainfall Than ia the Past
Thirty-five Years

during any single month, with the
exception, perhaps, two months.

in January, 1918, was - Y inches.
and in December, 1911, it was
1920 inches. In May of this year
it is reported about 1880 inches
But,some claim that it was slightly
more than this amount, and per
haps quite as much as the recorded
months above.
There were only five or six days
during the entire month in which
some rain did not fall in TINS COM

never more behind on account of
