VALLEY OF ROSES ATTACKED.

Bulgania's famous Valley Of Roses"
which supplied 80 per cent OF the
worlds supply OF altar, or OIL OF roses,
IL threatened with ruin. Over half the
rose bushes IN the valley. situated at
tho foot OF the Balkans. comprising
thousands OF acres, have been seized
with disease resembling very much
the phylloxera. Experts thus far have
discovered neither the nature of the
disease nor remedy. The Minister
OF Agriculture has proposed several
prizes for the invention OF an effective
remedy. Last years crop Of altar
was only 5000 kilogrammes. and the
great decrease is due chiefly 10 the
mysterious disease. which attacks the
roots OF the rose bush.

IRELAND STANDS APPALLED,.

AnGhAND GLANDS AtfALBED.
1t is not surprising to learn that
Ireland stands appalled, at tho brutal
Staying Of Michael Collins, i. able
leader of the FREQ State government.
It was an act that appalled, tho entire
civilized world by its ferocity and tho
insane policy that melted It.
There is no longer any doubt that
a majority of tho Irish people are de-
sirous OF having a fun and fair ex-
pertinent OF tho Free State govern
ment. No longer are they fighting
against tho oppression OF the British
Crown. but for the success of an ex-
pertinent in self-govcrnment. In this
experiment they are opposed by a bit
ter and vicious minority. which, de-
feated IN fair combat with the Irish
government forces. has resorted TO the
vile methods OF cowardly assassina-
ton to further its ends.
But other leaders will talo the
places OF Griffith, whose untimely end
was deeply dcplored. and OF Collins
who was cruelty shot down. The
Irish people now realize they have nn
opportunity OF working out their own
political salvation. and they arc deter
mined 70 avail themselves OF it TO an
extent that will at least show whether
or not II is practical. And no desper-
ate bands Of secret assassins Will de-

OUR PLACE ON THE MAP.

Attention is called to the fact that
for some time many automobnists on
the way from northern points to
Washington have been going around
Wilmington instead of through the
city by tho Lincoln Highway route.
The latter enters Wilmington by the
Philadeiphia Pike. and goes through
bv Market street. Eleventh street,
Delaware and Pennsylvania avenues
and Union street, thence to tho Bal
tirnoro Pike. Now. It is said. many
automobile parties mako a detour

and Oxford to Baltimore and Wash

Washington. Aug. 25--,rho proposal
Of n great gold loan TO Europe--a V'D,e
sum OF perhaps ono or two billion ooi-
lars To be divided among the nations
of Europe having the most severely
appreciated currency--persisten re-
fuses to be sbelyed. In view OF ,''
fact that the European Allies aifeans
owe the United States some ten bi-
lions of dollars, the natural early re-
action OF most Americans TO the pro
posal is that IL is out OF the questioh
to throw good money after bad. but
still the plan crops up. fostered not
only by distinguished Europeans. but
by thoughtful Americans.
The theory Of tho plan is this /.
Europe owes us ten billion dollars ano
cannot pay because she has too little
capital with which to start her IN
dustries; therefore IL we lend her, say
two billions more, she VIII DO hbie
10 start her Industrial machinery, make
money and pay back not only tho new
two billion loan, but the ten Billions
also.
Tho situation is likened 10 a man
who has q mechanical plano. 1t mas
cost him a lot of money and ne Is
anxious to hear tuno TO get his
moneys worth. First, he must put
nickel in the slot before the thine
will function.
The reason IL fs suggested that th'
American loan be made IN gold X
that gold is what Europe needs more
than anything else 70 form A. stable
basis for her deprecated currency
The reason that an American citzeI
can take a piece Of paper marked on
dollar 10 a store and get one dollar
worth of potatoes is that everybod,
knows there is one dollar IN golf
somewhere in the Treasury with whici
to redeem that paper. The reason Z
German cannot take a paper mark t
his store and get the old prewa
marks worth of potatoes for IL Is tha
everybody knows the German Treas
, lury hasn't gold enough 70 redeem NOR
than a hundredth part Of the mark
? Therefore tho paper mark become
. worth only what the gold behind it

appeared. American dollars would de

We Have n Surplus Of Gold.

Now the United States has more !
than enough gold to keep her paper |
money up to par. Europe has not |
nearly enough. Trade with Europe Is
extremely difficult and precsrtous be-
cause OF the fact that exchange Is
changing almost from hour 20 hour
and no one can be sure what the
money he VIII be paid IN WIN be worth
tomorrow. Americans want TO trade
with Germany and other European
nations. Therefore, some Americans
believe that we should lend our sur
plus gold abroad TO stabilize foreign
currsncies and start trade which
would result In the countries on both
sides OF tho Atlantic making more
money and paying on debtA-
An interesting argument IN favor
OF such a loan Is the warning which
has been issued by competent econo-
nists against keeping all the gold in
America. Gold has been coming IN for
years until We have more than any
other nation ever had in the history OF
the world. Il still Is coming In Our
: hoard Is rising and Europe,s dwindlfng
} The warning Is this: European
SNe-Ae-A AcS' .AaFAAS scii- n2A l1clI SDiu

company Of Bogalusa, La; KaII Lum-

OF particular interest to lumbermen
is the discussion of forest taxation
which will occupy the second session.
Tax Commissioner Duncan L. Thomp-
son OF Mississippi, who has advocated
forest tax reforms on previous occa-
sions, will open the discussion. The
congress hopes to initiate Il movement
which will revolutionize the taxation
of timbcrland in the south by placing
a nominal annual tax on the land and
a yield tax ON the timber only when
actually cut. Henry L. Hardtner of
Urania, La, viii be one of the chief
speakers on this topic.

which may be proposed, will be under

of comment among the Iumbermen,
and which has been attacked and de-

Bee COLONIES ARE
GOOD INVESTMENT
Beginner Who Starts Out With a Few
Colonies Soon Has Large Sized
Apiary.

Most bees. If permitted to swarm
naturally, will about double themselves
every year; so, when a beginner starts
out with one or two colonies, it Is only
a few years before he has a large sized
apiary. The cost of operation, with a
few colonies, Is small and the time re-
quired for the care is of no real i'm
portance.
Many people could easily have a col
ony or two of bees in their gardens,
while the industry could be enlarged
by more beemen's going into the busl-
ness on a larger scale. Honey produce
Ing plants in Florida are abundant:
and they wait in the woods for the
bees TO gather their nectar.
While there as some troubles. with
which the beekeeper has to contend;
such as certain diseases, the wax moth,
ants, etc; generally the year ends
with the beekeeper having a nice ball
ance to his credit. In fact, his balance
is usually much greater than his who
has some other hobby or business, il
we consider the amount of money in
vested and the work done.
You do not have TO live on farm
in order to own bees. They seem TO
do about as we'll in the city, providing
the number of colonies is limited. as
they do in the country.
