Peach Growing In
duStry Threatened

Will history repeat itself in the de-
struction of the peach growing indus.
try in Pennsylvania
The Bureau of Plant Industry, Penn
sylvania Department of Agriculture is
bending all it's energies to save the
peach orchards of the State from de-
struction by Peach Fellows. A spe-
cial survey of the industry has been
undertaken in an effort to save the
thousands of farmers and orchardists
growing peaches from suffering a
heavy loss.
A score of years ago the Peach Vel
lows swept over New Jersey, Delaware
and Pennsylvania and destroyed prac-
tically every peach orchard in these
States. 1t has only been within the
past few years that the industry has
recovered from this blow.
The disease is now sweeping over
the State again and unless it is
checked, the peach orchards Of the
State will be destroyed within the
next year or two. Peach Fellows is
an infectious disease and scientists
have not ben able to isolate the Or
ganism of the disease.
The only known and sure method
of fighting the disease is to destroy
the trees when the disease first ap-
pears. On account Of the nature of
the disease it is impossible for the
average layman to detect it's presence
until the advance stages has been
reached, by which time the entire Or
chard has probably become affected.
To detect Peach Fellows in the early
stages special inspection service is re-
quired and there is possibility that
such a service may be instituted by
the Pennsylvania Department of Agri-
culture The disease has only been
effectually fought in States where a
State inspection service is conducted
and the results of the survey now be-
ing conducted may result in such a
service being established in this State.

FARMERS INSTITUTE

The state department is now en-
gagged in booking speakers for the
coming sessions and in each instance,
the department will furnish speakers
qualified to discuss the subjects sell
ected by the county institutes chair
men. Only one day institutes will
be held in each community this year
and the morning sessions will be elm
mated, the poor attendance at the
morning sessions last year making it
advisable to hold only afternoon and
evening sessions this season.

Vamps Can't Lure

Louisville, Ky.-"Love need no liquor
to make it generous" Joseph Mazer,
New York, told delegates to the Ma
tional Railway Jewelrs' Association in
convention here last week.
CHANGING casually at approximate
ly 100000 worth of diamonds on dis
play he reflected further:
Prohibition has given the jewelry
trade boost"
"Men in liquor spend money like
water" Mr.. Mazer pointed out. "Thc
world looks rosy. A pretty girl is
prettier than ever. A smile is worth
a jewel"
- The "vamp," according to the
Manhattan jeweler, won her place in
the social scheme because of inebriety.
"She and her sort will be far fewer
under bone dry laws"

Care for the Bees

The severe loss of bees last winter
must not be repeated this coming
winter. Each colony must consist
of several thousand young, vigorous
workers, young vigorous queen, and
not less than than thirty-five pounds
of we'll ripened honey, and it must be
well housed if loss is to be avoided
Many colonies have actually starved
to death for want of sufficient food. 1t
is immaterial how protection is pro
vided-if outdoor wintering is planned
protected cities for the apiary mus
be elected-protection from wind is
quite as important as cases and double
walled hives. Buildings, woods, shrub.
berry, and fences often afford ideal
wind screens. More and more bee
keepers are wintering their bees in
cellars. 1t takes less honey to feed
the bees and they come through the
winter in better shape than when win
tered outdoors.
For further information on winter
ing bees write to the Bureau of Plant
Industry, Pennsylvania Department of
Agriculture, Harrisburg.

A travelling man told the Dayton
Daily News that he usually judges the
population of a city by its trading
center. If such is the case and he
walks down through our business CEN
ter and gazes at that row Of buildings
on the north side Of High street, be
tween Front and Second streets, he
must liken our population to that of
Venice or Millville.

tie dignity to lose. No group of peo-
pie have dignity in the real sense who
are unable to protect themselves. OF
all people, those least able to protect
themselves are the teachers of the
country. The facts are that we have
not even accorded that respect wheth-
er measured in terms of money or pub
lie regard to which the character and
value of our services justly entitle us.
"A third objection is that the oath
of allegiance to the American FEEDER
alton of Labor interferes with ones
obligation to the government. AS a
matter of fact, the teachers are not
required to subscribe to any oath OF
allegiance by the American Fedora
tion of Labor 1t is the custom among
craft unions to take such an oath of
allegiance, but in that oath there is
specific reservation that nothing
shall be construed to interfere with
ones duties as citizen. AS matter
of fact, whenever a union member
takes the oath of allegiance, he in
reality reaffrms his obligations of cit
izenship."
And incidentally the slogan of the
American Federation of Teachers is:
1--WE stand for a $4,000 minimum
salary for teachers While some
teachers are not worth $4,000, every
child is worth at least a $4,000
teacher"

CHARLES TROWNSELL

1t has been said: Death loves
shining mark" for which reason, per-
haps, this enemy of mankind selected
Charles Trownsell as his prey, thus
spreading a cloud of sorrow over a
happy home on last Sunday evening,
cloud that soon extended over the
city when the sad news had been
learned.
The funeral services were held in
st. Peters Catholic church on We'd
nesday morning, and the large crowd
which attended and the beautiful flo
raj offerings attested to the popular
ity Of this young business man and
former trades unionist.
Charles Trownsell is dead, and the
world is better that he had lived. No
monuments of granite and marble re-
main to perpetuate his memory, but
in the hearts of thousands who recog-
nized his sterling worth, he will live.
May he rest in peace

Elections

Des Moines, Iowa.-Returns compil-
ed today from municipal elections
throughout the state Monday show
that labor party candidates were, for
the most part, successful in the larger
towns. In Sioux City the labor can
didate apparently was successful in
his campaign for reelection. He met
keen opposition from the business ele-
ment of the city.
In Waterloo, all but two union la
Dor candidates were elected by a COM
Portable majority
Cedar Rapids, under commission
form of government, reelected the
present mayor. In Burlington the
labor candidate for mayor was sue
cessful. At Clinton, labor party can
didates won in all but two instances.
The election in Des Moines was
more or less partisan, nor was
labor an issue in the campaign.
The compilations received here
from the various towns was made on
unofficial, but almost complete re-
turns.

speech in this city on "Americanism, :"
under the auspices of the chamber Of
commerce.
Prior to his address the westerner
was waited on by a committee of
trade unionists who wanted to know

Hanson stated that Allentown is the

The Seattle ex-mayor assumed a

must have visited the cellar of the
hotel at which he was stopping, as he
made the air blue with hi "cuss

make this statement when he speechi-

ARGUMENT OF UNION
TEACHERS

To answer the objections of some Of
the teachers who oppose the organi-
zation Of the school teachers under
the banner Of the trade unionists, I.
v. Lampson, field secretary of the
American Federation Of Teachers has
issued a brochure that among other
things contains the following;
Zone objection to the union move
ment is that teachers belong to a pro-
fession and therefore should not af-
filiate with organized labor, Union
teachers feel that they are employees
and can therefore properly affiliate
upon this economic basis, if upon no
other, with the other employed peo-
pie of the country. In view of the pit
liable compensation of the teachers and
their lack of voice in determining
matters of educational concern. they
do not belong to calling in which
the conditions Of a real profession ex-
ist. They are, in fact, subject to emo
nomic oppression, and in many parts
of the country to a form of intellectual
repression 1t is our belief that teach
ers can be emancipated from these
conditions only through the medium
Of nationwide business, protective
and professional organization Of the
teachers themselves, backed up and
supported BY the millions of organiz-
ed labor.
"A second objection is that it
would be undignifed for teachers to
affiliate with organized labor. Those
who raise this objection place them
selves in the position of maintaining
that labor is undignifed Union
teachers feel that taking the country
as a whole the teachers have very lit

THE NEWRERRY CASE


Some few weeks back local city
councilman was arrested by the fed
eral authorities, charged with having
lot of whiskey illegally in his poses
sion. Before ever this man had hear
ing as to his guilt, the Hamilton Even
ing New editorially said that common
deeencv would demand that he be not
allowed to participate in city councils
proceedings, that it would be dis
grace and so forth. In fact it would
be an awful crime and blot on the
fair name of our city. Since that
time one Mr.. Newberry, United States
senator from the state Of Michigan,
has been tried before jury of twelve
men and convicted on the charge OF
having secured his seat in the senate
illegally-by the lavish expenditure of
oodles of money, and sentenced to two
years in federal prison. Have you
heard a chirp from the News on this ?
Nary chirp. OF course the local man
is big city councilman and--a DEM
ocrat, while Newberry is but small
United States senator and-a repub-
lican. This of course makes diff
ference-to the Hamilton Evening
News.
The Cincinnati Post of last Satur-
day night contained an editorial on
this case which we believe voices the
sentiment of every decent citizen, and
is as follows:
"No matter what the outcome may
be of Newberry's appeal to the su-
preme court, it won't change the fact
that Michigan jury convicted him
of violating a feleral law in order to
defeat Henry Ford and buy seat
in the United States senate.
"The outstanding fact in the evi-
dence was that money was spent Law
ishly and recklessly in order to in
huenee the voters of Michigan in fav-
or of the millionaire candidate.
A Michigan jury was convinced
that Newberry was guilty. A United
States judge was convinced that his
guilt was so fragrant that he made
the punishment fit the crime by Civ
ing him a maximum sentence both as
to fine and Imprisonment.
And no matter how much his re-
publican associates in the senate may
think they need his vote, they won't
dare Aout public opinion by keeping
him in his seat in spite of his con-
viction. They won't want that issue
in a presidential campaign
Altogether, Newberry's conviction
viii have a wholesome influence in pol
itics. Other millionaires will see that
it doesn't pay to buy political honors.
And the great majority of people who
are not millionaires will have their
faith in democracy, to some extent at
least, revived.
The fact that man is rich should
not deprive him of the right to serve.
He can serve if he will in spite of his
wealth But when he depends upon
wealth rather than worth to gain po-
litical place and distinction, he brings
down on his head the contempt and
condemnation he deserves"

COMMUNITY SPIRIT

No one is Independent of his fellows.
We are all such, each and every one
of US, dependent upon others in some
way or other.
But community, town, county, or
city is dependent not upon some few,
but upon all of its citizens. The
whole-hearted support Of every per
son going to make up a community
must be given that community if it
is to prosper and flourish and be one
of the best places on earth to live.
That's why the community spirit is
50 necessary to the success of a town
or county. Just as it is necessary
that every player on football team
work in harmony with the other play
ers, so it is necessary that every mem
Der of a community work in harmony
with his fellow citizens for the gen
eral advancement of the community
spirit.
Every citizen should support his
home industries and stores; it is in
this way that community spirit can be
best stimulated; be intensely proud of
your community and boost all the
time and back up your boosting by
BUYING AT HOME.
A community that is good enough
to earn a living in, is good enough
to support

The idea of park and boulevard

fine one, and meets with all public
approval; but the expense of the same
is only another hard nut to crack for
our city council with its limited means.
Now in Middletown the big men came
to the front and raised municipal
civic fund of $1,OOO,OOO to clear a
100000 deficit and make city improve
ments, and meet all other emergen-
cies just such one as this of a park
