 Mosaic an Important Disease
 Mosaic is a very important disease. it occurs on many plants and is often exceedingly destructive to the potato crop.
 The appearance of the mosaic dis ease varies to some extent depending upon the season. severity of the attack and other factors. Two forms or stages of the disease are commonly recognized, these being known as the curly leaf stage and the dwarf stage. These are not distinct forms, however. as there are intermediate stages be- tween them.
 The most characteristic symptom of the disease is the curly or uneven ap- pearance of the leaves. There may be slightly raised blister-like areas on the leaves or there may be merely an uneven, curly or wavy appearance to the leaf surface. In most cases, the raised portions are darker green in color than the rest of the surface, this giving the leaf more or less of appearance.
 The leaves of affected plants are

Apparently after the plant be comes affected it remains infected. As far as is known. il never outgrows the infection or becomes immunized to it. Furthermore. the tuhers which develop on an infected plant, contain the disease and if these tubers are planted the young plants which de- velop from them will be infected.
 Under ordinary field conditions, the disease seems to be largely transmitt- ed by insects. Sucking insects, sneh as plant lice, feed upon the diseased plants and then fly to healthy plants carrying the infection with them.
 A field is often infected by plant ing inferior seed potatoes, the amount of disease should be very small where certified seed potatoes are used. Look over your field carefully because mos aio Is disease that has n great deal Go do with low potato yields.

Another interesting water-clock Is one that is still used in the orient to- day. In a shady nook of some old gar den. there would be a fountain, and in this fountain a massive brass bowl that would gradually sink into the wa ter. It would be marked so that the hours could be divided fairly accurate ly. and when the end of an hour came a watehful slave would strike two pieces of metal together.
 A similar way of telling time was by the sand-glass. Miniatures of these sand-glasses are still used in our homes today for such purposes as tim- ing the boiling of eggs, or the length of telephone conversations. They were very simple in construciiob--a steady stream of sand passed through one funnel-shaped bowl to another

Gasoline Tank Under Fire

There was considerable discussion overthe boundaries of Felix Lamothe's s property facing School street, fol- lowing his petition for permission to move his gasoline tank nearer the street. Aldermen Richard, Labby and Dubois were appointed special com mittee to look up the deeds of the property and make certain regarding the lines.
 Street Superintendent Frederick Dumas was instructed to investigate and remedy the complaint that there were great numbers of loose stones on Railroad street that should be re- moved. A gutter-like depression across Providence street near Jarvis store was also referred to his attention and Mir. Dumas was at work with his force on Wednesday repairing this

COUNCILMEN DOFF
 COATS AT MEETING
Make Themselves Comfortable But Do Nothing to Relieve
 Police of Heavy Uniforms
A Dog Days Meeting With Nothing
 Accomplished

Every alderman. His Honor. the Mayor. the city clerk, and practically everybody outside the rail was in shirt sleeves for the common council meeting Tuesday. Perhaps il was the heat, but at any rate the meeting was eonspicuonsly devoid of excitement or even of interest.
 Such heat as there was ought to have moved the aldermen to 8 more thorough consideration of the matter of giving the police special kahki un- forms, but as 1t was, after & little discussion the matter was dropped and it looks as fl. the officers will con tinue to swelter in their woOlen all year-round suits.
 Captain Jarvis's police report for the month showed twenty five arrests. of which eleven were for being in- toxicated. Four of the offenders went to jail. while fifteen others paid fines and costs totalling s537.25.
 A long list of taxes which for vari- ous reasons are uneolleetahle was presented by Tax Collector A. Mac donald, Jr., who recommended their abatement. Alderman Pigeon. who served as n meubtf or committed appointed some time ago to see if by any chance any of the taxes named were collectable. also recommended their abatement, which was done.
 Permit For Chapel
 The petition of the Central Con struction Company for permission to build memorial chapel in the Grove Street cemetery. and that of T. A. Ryan for authority to construct A gar. age at 237 School street were grant ed. The requests of Arsene Benoit for permission to build piazza and addition to his home on Vandale street and of Alexander LaRocque to build bungalow at 237 South Main street, were referred to the highway committee for investigation and ac. l tion.
 The request of c. |. Miller for a street light at the head of the Senexet Road. and of six residents of Church street for additional lights on that street to extend past the Battey pro perty, were referred to the street lighting committee.

Whales Are Threatened With Extinction

whales, he declares, is one that should
be extended to cover seals and other
mammals, and should be promptly fol-
lowed by the United States.
1T is obvious" Mr.. Nelson contin-
ued, that the present uncontrolled,
wholesale slaughter of sea mammals
over most of their range and practi-
cally throughout the year can result
only in their rapid determination. Dur
ing the last century the pursuit of sea
mammals was carried on on a great
scale and yielded an enormous return
in oil, whalebone, hides and furs of
fur seals and sea offers.
1.-THE success of the fur seal treaty,
whereby through international action
Japan, Russia, England and the United
States safeguard the breeding grounds
of the fur seals on the fur seal islands
in Alaska, has been practical demon
stration of the effectiveness of such
action.
1T is to be hoped that a similar
treaty between the maritime powers
interested may be equally effective in
saving the other sea mammals from
threatened extinction"

report of the government reorganiza-
ton commission which has been at
work for two years. Following cabinet
discussion of the report of the reor-
ganization commission, headed by Wal
ter Brown of Ohio, the President let 1t
be known that he is inclined to dis
favor at this time such drastic
change in the government as the re-
organization of departments.
A spokesman for the White House
said that consolidation of the War
and Navy departments is incorporated
In the Brown reorganization report as
submitted to the cabinet. The report
submits a comprehensive plan.
The President believes If the reor-
ganization of the defense branch Of
the government ever is undertaken 1t
should be brought up in congress as
separate proposition, and not in con-
nection with the general reorganization
scheme now in preparation. He thinks
the reorganization problem of the army
is too big a one to be discussed in con-
nection with reorganization Of other
branches of the government. The
army and navy, in his opinion, have so
long been established as separate de-
partments and have functioned so we'll
as such that their consolidation should
be approached only after the most
careful thought and discussion on the
part of the administration and of con-
greSs.

vim Coolidge at that same precautionary
celebration, though his forbears were
Puritans and not Pilgrims. He said,
in part:
There was among them small traces
of the vanities of life. They came
unlocked with orders of nobility. They
were not children Of fortune, but Of
tribulation. Persecution, not prefer
ence, brought them hither, but 1t was
a persecution In which they found
a stern satisfaction. They cared lit
tie for titles, still less for the goods
Of this earth, but for an idea they
would die. Measured by the standard
of men Of their time, they were the
humble Of The earth. Measured by
later accomplishments. they were the
mighty.
plymouth Rock does not mark a
beginning or an end. It marks a rev.
elation of that which Is without begin
ming and without end, purpose shin
ing through eternity with respondent
light, undimmed, even by the imper-
fections of men, and a response, an an
swering purpose, from those who, OBJ
livious, disdainful Of all else, sailed
hither, seeking only for an avenue for
the immortal SOUL"
The colonists Of the Mayflower were
Englishmen of the period Of 1908, while
the Puritans of Massachusetts bay col
ony (Salem, WATERFOWL and Boston)
were Englishmen Of the period Of 1923.
The name pilgrims" was given to the
Plymouth colonists by Gov. William
Bradford, who was a passenger on the
Mayflower. The name "Puritans" was
applied to reformers Of all classes In
England by the supporters of the court
and king.
One fundamental difference between
the Puritans and the Pilgrims was
their attitude toward the church Of
England. The Puritan steadfastly re-
fused to leave the established church.
, His attitude was that the church could
be reformed more quickly from within
than from without. The Pilgrim first
separated himself from the established
church and then, rather than worship
contrary to his conscience, was COM
PEELED to leave his native land.
The Pilgrims held that church and
state should be separate. The Puri-
tans held church and state to be one.
The Pilgrims had liberal form of
government. The Puritans developed
despotic theocracy.
The Pilgrims were simple country
folk and poor. The Puritans included
many of the gentry; their first fleet
| (1630) had ten vessels with cargoes
worth more than million dollars.

be economically sound. On this point
he was given assurances by Mr.. March.
Another question involved Is
whether such an operation could be
taken over by the War Finance cor
pOration without further authority
from congress. Mr.. March expressed
the view that action by congress prob
ably would be needed.
1--WE have three principal classes in
the United States-the manufacturing
class, the laboring class and the farm
ing class" Mr.. March asserted in a
statement. with the end of the war
deflatiOn in money return faced all of
these classes. To aid the manufac-
turer congress passed tariff act and
to help the workers meet the defiation
an immigration law was enacted
Something still must be done for the
farmers. Because the farmers have
not been sufficiently helped there is
real distress in the West"
Mr.. March told the President that
approximately 100000 farmers left the
farm in 1920 and that from million
to a million and half would leave
this year unless something was done
to relieve the situation.
