CARE WILL ELIMINATE
POD SPOT DISEASE

Baton Rouge, La, August 1.-Ae
cording to G. L. Tiebout, horticultural
department, Louisiana State Univer-
sity. bean pod is one of the Louisiana
truckers worst enemies; in one sec
ton alone more than $4,000 was lost
when wit honly little care this dis
ease can be eliminated.
There are two diseases that may
"spot" beans in Louisiana, the pod
spot disease and the bligh. The pod
spot disease produces a more or less
circular. sunken, shiny red spot while
the blight gives blister-like or water
soaked spot, light red to brown in
color. Usually the pod spot causes
greater injury to the pods.
Briefly, pod spot is carried from
one season to another or from one
crop to another in the seed. If one
plants clean seed there will be no
pod spot unless the disease is carried
into the field from some other field
where infected seed we're planted.
The experiment station has found
that the heat of summer viii kill this
disease, SO seed planted in early Au.
gust will produce a crop Of snaps
Tor dry beans, IL desired for seed)
that will be free of pod spot.
Many growers say that the fall crop
of beans may fail, and 1t occasionally
does, but one should remember that
a portion of the spring crop may be
set aside for seed, once clean seed
is obtained from a fall crop.
Again it may be asked how viii one
save the clean seed from a sprina
crop for planting the following spring
Easy; thrash soon as possible and
mix with airslaked lime ia the pro
portion of two to four parts by weight
of beans to one part by weight Of
lime. Store the containers in a COO
dry place. The air-slaked lime will
keep out the weevils as well as pro
tect the beans from excessive humidi,
ty.
Unfortunately, blight is not entire

cog in a vast machine. So complete
" was this the fact that mere hand
full of Spanish hriEands-only about
forty men not possessed Of even the
authority OF their own govrnment-
marched into the heart of the empire
captured the emperor before the eyes
of his army of $4,000 warriors, put
him to death and brought an end to
the reign of the Incas in Peru. Such
has been. and always will be through
out history, the fate of any people
who relied, or who rely, upon the Ia
vors of government. ''This doing for
the citizen what he ought to do for
himself" says Emerson, "is the thing
that stands out in colossal ugliness in
all the governments of the world"
The sole function of government is
to govern; to guard and protect the
individual in his natural rights; TO
preserve the spirit of Liberty for all,
that "civilation on luminous wings
may soar phoenix-like to Jove." If it
performs well this task it will have
no time nor inclination to undertake
any line of business. It's activities will
be confined to such functions as ex-
perience has shown can be performed
only by the people as whole-such
as the control of the monetary sys-
tenn, the police power, and the public
health and protection.
Future civilization shall rest alone
upon the virility, the initiative and the
sturdy self-reliant individualism of
the citizen. To meet this test he
must stand erect upon his own feet
and not depend upon crutch of govern
mental favors.-Los Angeles Times.

FUNCTIONS OF GOVERNMENT

Experiments in government are the
bane of modern life. w care repeat.
eddy asked not to condemn so-called
remedies before they have been
tried" People who resort to that
plea seem Oblivious of the fact that
man has progressed from an indef-
mite antiquity and that during his
cons of progress he accumulated some
valuable knowledge gained by exper-
fence.
One Of the fruits of a mans exper-
fence is the knowledge that the bust
ness Of government is to govern and
that when it passes from that func-
tion into the realm of business, con-
fusion must follow. Under the best
and most favorable circumstance.
government is an expensive institu-
ton. Were economy alone to be con.
sidered it were better to fall back up
on autocracy as the more efficient
form of government, but liberty is a
thousand times more precious than
any economic considerations can ever
be. This is the everlasting answer
to the silly dreams of the socialist.
Socialists seem oblivious to the les
sons of history. They have forgotten,
if they even knew, that their full pro-
gram was in actual practice and in
perfect working order under the Incas
of ancient Peru. The only distinction
between what they had in Peru and
the plan of the socialists was that
under the Incas full authority and con-
troll lay in the will Of the emperor,
who not only enjoyed temporal but
spiritual dominion over his people
They had no will of their own, either
relative to this world or the next. The
will of the emperor was also the will
of God.

In an economic sense that sway of
the Incas was perfect. No subject
ever went hungry to his rest, nor felt
otherwise than to greet the new day
with song. Yet in all the realm of the
Incas the idea of liberty had no abid-
ing place. Not even the emperor him
self enjoyed the freedom of the poor
est citizen Of America. Though he was
the head of a theOeratic despotism.
he himself was a slave to the spirit
of the hive" The inevitable result of
this system was to utterly destroy
every initiative among the people and
to reduce the last person from the EN-
peror down, to the position of mere

FINE ENTERTAINMENT
First Number on Lyceum Course
Delighted Large Audience

The Sterling Male Quartette
appeared before large audience
at the Auditorium on Thursday
evening last as the first number
Of the entertainment course un-
der the auspices of the Music
Study Club of Yale.
Opening the program promptly
with bright song by the four
voices, the singers were then in
troduced to their audience, which
was quite captivated from the
first and charm and interest held
through to the last number.
The bass, whose length of body
and limb proclaimed that his
voice came from the depths, was
good entertainer, not only as very
effective bass to the quartettes and
chorus, but as recitationist,
where his work was good, creating
spicy and varied touch to the
program. He was what one
might call the master or cere-
monies
One OF the ten0rs was OF South
ern birth and his character songs
were distinctly gratifying. The
other tenor distinguished himself
with several songs accompanied
by the guitar and also by a popu-
lar yodel which pleased every
body.
The baritone was also the plan
ist and accompanied himself
while singing the more classical
songs in a wonderfully clear,
well modulated voice.
Each number seemed to touch
a sympathetic note in the nearer
and the applause was spontaneous
and so hearty that cncores were
given freely.
The y ork of - Sterling Male
Quartette in Yale was certainly
appreciated and as the first en-
tertainment, we are confident
that so also will be the second
and third and all the rest or tHt
| course.

WILL REMOVE AID SIGNS
State Trunk Lines and State Re-
ward Roads Will be Cleared
of BillbOards, Etc.

The State Highway Department
has notified the County Board Of
Road Commissioners that all ad-
vertising signs, billboards, etc,
must be removed from the con-
fines of State Trunk line high
ways and state reward roads
forthwith according to informa-
tion received from Commissioner
Davidson. The new trunk lines
being built throughout the state
has brought a flood of this class
of advertising, in many instances
proving a menace to motorists,
and the state officials have decid-
ed to put a ban on all such ad-
vertising within the right of way
on these roads.
The order Of the state depart
ment will be enforced at once and
owners of billboards if they wiah
to preserve them should get busy
before the county board starts
their cleanup campaign.
Another matter which the coun-
=, fG4u commissioners wish to
bring before the public is the lo-
cation of many of the rural free
delivery mail boxes along these
trunk lines and state reward roads
The department rules that all
mail boxes must be outside the
road grade, or at least IL feet
from the center Of the highway,
Rural mail boxes located on the
road grade have been the cause
of many accidents and the decis-
ion of the department to have
them removed outside the grade
line is made in behalf of public
safety.
The location and condition of
many mail boxes is a disgrace to
the owner, the service and the
community in which it is located
and the new order will provide an
opportunity to the owners to put
these boxes in proper position and
condition before winter. Unless
they are removed by the owners
the commissioners will have them
taken out.

BOLD. BAD BURGLARS

Some time between Saturday
night at II o'clock and Sunday
morning our little city was, Wis
tied by burglars and three plac-
es were entered.
I. NJ. Udell, proprietor of the
corner store, was the biggest los
er, the visitors getting away with
a change pouch containing be-
tween 500 snu $50. They also
helped themselves to several
pairs of shoes. Mathews &
Wight were the next victims. but
here the burglars only secured a
small amount of change-be-
tween two ana three dollars, that
had not been taken out OF the
cash register when the store was
closed Saturday night. The Star
oil station was also entered, and
tie only thing taken was a revolv-
e. which was in one Of the draw
ers of the desk.
In each case entrance was made
by unlocking the front doors, or
rnis is supposed to have been the
way the visitors got in, as Mr..
CGeli's door W&s unlocked when
lie Went over to TIE store Sunday
morning.
Sheriff Names and Under
sLeriff Alloway were notified and
immediately drove to Yale to
make an investigation. but could
discover nothing.
With the amount of night work
that is going on in different parts
of the state it looks as though
Yale should have a night watch
man.

ernor Alex Groesbeck having ap-
pointed him a member of the state

Michigan, to the president of the
Michigan Agricultural college.
Since Mr.. BrSdy's association

has steadily advanced and last
spring was given an ofice in

AN AGREEABLE SURPRISE

James H. Morre was agreeably
surprised on Thursday evening,
while at work sweeping the high
room in our public school. Prof
essor Greenman came up stairs
hurridly and informed Mr.. Moore
that a very serious accident had
occurred in the kindergarten
room and he must get there as
soon as possible. On reaching
the room he found the whole fac
ulty seated in a circle with va
cant chair placed in the center,
which Janitor Moore was invited
to occupy. After a half hour of
visiting, all partook of ice cream
and waters. The high school yell
was then given, "Rah! Rah! Rah !
Moore, he's all right"
On Friday he was presented
with a testimonial of apprecia-
tion signed by 179 of the high
school scholars showing the high
esteem in which the janitor was
held. Mr.. Moore wishes to ex-
press his gratitude to the faculty
and scholars for their kindness to
him during the time he has acted
as janitor Of the school and for
the testimonial of appreciation.

INVENTS NOVEL SIGNAL
DEVICE FOR MOTOR CARS

Charles Noble of Bad Axe has
recently patented a signal device
for automobiles that bids fair to
net him a small fortune. The
signal is a red flag about 8x14
inches, incased in a metal tube
and attached to the rear of the
car on the left side. A cord from
the flag to a convenient place
near the steering wheel has a
small handle which hangs just in
front and to the left of the driver.
Instead of reaching out his hand
as stopping signal, the driver
simply pulls the cord. and the red
flag drops Immediately, warning
the driver behind. The flag at
the back is so placed that at night
the lights of the car behind re-
veal it clearly and it is much
more convenient than hand sig
nal for a closed car.
