Runaway This Morning

A pair of horses attached to Frei-
hofer's bread wagon ran away this
friday morning at Union Corner.
They collided with the awning frame
in front of Livingstone's drug store
where they were thrown and the
wagon upset. Two awning posts were
broken, and bread scattered in all di-
reetions. Chief Houseworth and Thos.
Pettebone captured the team and re-
leased them from the tangled harness,
in which effort Pettebone had his left
hand badly injured. The horses also
suffered some bruises and scratches.

KING HAS SUPREME POWER
But There Are Reasons Why British
Monarch Does Not Exercise His
Royal Prerogatve.

If the king did all he might do with
out exceeding his royal prerogative
the nation would be startled. He can
veto bill passed in both houses; he
can dissolve and summon parliament
he can select or dismiss his ministers
he can declare war; he can make
treaties and create peers; he can APP
point bishops, governors and judges
and all ION his own" He could cede
the duchy of Cornwall to a foreign
power, disband the army and navy,
and sell the dreadnaughts and naval
stores. He could give every govern
ment official, from the highest to the
lowest, the push" could pardon all
criminals, and could stop the whole
machinery of government. But there
is an unwritten law Of common sense,
fortified by long usage, which makes II
unthinkab1e that the king should do
these things; and In the last resort,
which Is never likely to occur, the
king, being a constitutional monarch,
reigns by the will of the people, and
could be deposed by act Of parliament

(By DIR. f. f. KEMPToN. in Charge of
Burberry Eradication. United States De-
partment of Agriculture)
The white man has been referred
to in speech and in verse as having
one of the heavy burdens of life to
bear This burden, real or fancied,
may be heavy, but to the world, ii in
no way compares with the accumulat-
ed burdens borne by the farmer in the
production of the wheat crop upon
which the world depends for Its staff
ct life.
If the crop escapes bad weather.
cold, ice, flood, hail, frost, drought, or
hot winds-various insects may be
lurking about to feed upon what re-
mains Plant diseases in the form Of
smuts, rusts, and scabs have taken
varying toll during past years, but, as
a rule, they have been less fully UNI
derstood than the troubles from wealth
er or insects. Among these diseases
are the loose smut, sinking smut or
bunt, the black-stem rust the leaf
rust, and the scab or blight. OF all
these the black-stem rust has taken
the heaviest toll in the northern states,
from year to year, and in years of rust
epidemics it has caused appalling loss
es. Hope is now held out to the wheat
growers of the northern part of the
United States that the control of
black-stem rust is possible by the
eradication or common barberry.
Il T.. hot oh
understand that the harmful barberry
is the tall green common European
barberry and its purple variety, and
may be distinguished by the follow
ing characteristics. Usually it is four to
six feet tall, though it may reach ten
or even fifteen feet if the bushes are
old. The edges of the rather large
leaves are toothed, the teeth ending in
small spiny points. On the stems, at
the base of each cluster of leaves,
are three or more stout, sharp spines.
The light yellow flowers and red ber-
ries are borne in long clusters like
currants. This bush, or any that re-
sembles 1t closely, is harmful and
should be destroyed
Japanese Variety Harmless.
In contrast to this tall bush there
is a low spreading barberry, known
as japanese barberry, which in some
localities is more widely planted than
the tall or common barberry. The
japanese barAerry is seldom over three
feet tall ana has small leaves with
entire edges. The spines on the stems

the larger leaves with toothed edges,

drooring punches, like currants. (Com-
pare with the Japanese barberry)

whole world.

Agriculture or your state agricultural
college.
Wide Interest Shown In Work.
The wide interest taken In the work
of eradication has been evidenced by
the numerous requests received by the
department during the past fiscal year
for international material for use in
the infested areas. Lack of funds has
hampered somewhat the departments
campaign against barberry. 1t was
able, however, to supply large mum

other matter for distribution.

the better means for spreading infor-
nation. 1t was extended then to the
towns, so that now nearly all cities
and towns having a population Of over
300 have been surveyed. An intensive
survey of the entire rural area out
side of the cities and towns has been
begun. Already about so counties have
been covered, the survey reaching ev-
cry farmstead and brushy pastures
and woodlands in the entire area. This
means travelling every section line,
many half section lines and scouting
the woodlands rod by rod.
A very important part of this sur
vey is finding the escaped barberries
which have started from seeds dropped
by birds in thickets and pastures. over
1,674,O00 escaped bushes were found
during the past year. total of al
most 100000 bushes was found In
rural districts last year. Records TO
date show that 3,S65,426 bushes have
been located and 3,705,142 bushes re-
moved.
