APPLE PEST WIDESPREAD.

A. & NJ. College, Miss, June14--
From the complaints reaching the
office of the State Plant Board it
is evident that the woolly apple
aphis is causing considerable dam
age this year. This pest appears
on the twigs and limbs of apple
trees as white, woolly patches, which
when crushed, give off dark red
fluid. In large numbers they are
very injurious to apple trees and
are often found on the roots as well
as on the branches.
A wittish waXy covering protects
them from most sprays, but they
can usually be controlled by spray
ing with l pound whale oil soap
dissolved in gallons water, or by
using / pound soap, Il pint nicotine
sulphate (Blackleaf 4s), in 25 gal
Ions of water. These sprays should
be applied with as much force as
possible. When attacking the roots,
the soil should be removed for sew
eral inches until some of the roots
are exposed and good coating of
tobacco dust applied, after which
the soil is replaced. Or the exposed
roots may be soaked with 2 or
gallons of 10 per cent kerosene
emulsion and the soil replaced.

A copy of the Great Charter was
sent to every cathedral and ordered
read publicly twice a year. Thus
it became, as Hallam declared: "Th.
keystone Of English liberty"
T-eacherous King.
While The Importance of the event
cannot be overcstimated. Il was but
the first skirmish in the war for
freedom, Pohn, trsacherous and
atty had no intention Of obsery-
ing the obligations of the charter,
w"csted from him under threat Of
violence. His insane pride could
not tolerate the humiliation. In
1913 John had submitted to the
authority Of Innocent III, ard had
become vassal of the Pope, accept
irg England as papal fief and
agreeing to pay 1000 marks each
year in recognition of his vassalage-
He now appealed to Innocent, who,
exercising his temporal and spiritual
authority, annulled the Charter and
communicated the leaders in the
revolt against the royal tyrant
On the strength Of the papal sup
port King John renewed his struggle
with the barons, which was ended by
his death in 1916.
His son, Henry III, acting under
pressure from the barons, signed and
confirmed the great Charter and
thus its profound and far-reaching
principles We're established.
In recent years the significance
of the great event and the effect it
has had upon all subsequent phases
of the struggle for human rights
has been more generally recognized.
and Magma Charta Day undoubtedly
VIII become one Of the great festi-
yals celeb ating Anglo-Ameriean
liberty.

FORD EXPANSION PROGRAM
AFFECTS NUMEROUS CITIES
Survey Shows Extensive Improve
ments Made at Assembly
Plants.

Detroit, Mich, May 14.-One
phase Of the Ford Motor Company's
expansion program, entailing the
expenditures of millions of dollars,
is strikingly illustrated in survey
of improvements made in assembly
plants throughout the country, all
of which have brought better busi-
ness and employment conditions to
the several cities affected.
The survey, which is just an
nounced through The Ford News,
shows that every assembly plant of
the company, numbering twenty
eight, is now in full operation and
producing more Ford Cars and
Trucks than ever before.
New additions have been erected,
or are under construction, new
equipment has been installed and
greater facilities afforded all
around.
The plant at Atlanta, Ca, has
been considerably enlarged since it's
reopening a year ago. At that time
it's capacity was $50 cars and trucks
a day. This already has been in
creased to 210 and when improve
ments are completed the maximum
for an eight hour day will be from
$50 to 275.
Railroad trucks which formerly
ran inside the building have been
removed to make way for an as
sembly line and a new concrete
loading dock will be completed in
June on which big stock conveyors
will be installed running into the
The Cleveland, O., assembly
branch, has been entirely re-equipped
and is now assembling cars at the
rate of $50 a day A new electric
enameling oven is in process of con
struction there to further facilitate
the work.
Several changes have been made
at the Louisville, KY, branch where
a one-story addition has been cree
ted. The assembly line has been re
moved from the third to the first
floor, a body oven has been install
led for drying all paint coats Oh
open bodies and the finish varnish
coat on closed bodies, and a rev
type electric enameling oven is be-
ing erected Production has been
increased from 100 to 40 cars a
day.
At Indianapolis, Ind. the branch
assembly line has been greatly ex-
tended and dock facilities increased
which permits this branch to turn
out 800 cars day
Denver, Colo, and Portland, Ore,
have again been opened as assembly
plants with daily production Of $50
and so cars respectively.
Columbus, O., and Houston Tex,
branches have been equipped with
drying ovens and recently
enameling ovens have been length
ened in twelve other assembly plants.
The New Orleans, La, branch is
now housed in complete new
building, 425 by 425 feet, employing
approximately 700 men and turning

THE GREAT CHARTER OF
ANCLO-SAXON FREED0M


Throughout the English speaking
world Magma Charta Day will be
celebrated on June Is. The great
Charter, now recognized as one of
the most significant documents in
the age-old struggle for freedom,
was wrested from the infamous King
John at Runnymede, seven hundred
and eight years ago. 1t was the
first and greatest of the historic
documents that have established
ard defended liberty among The
peoples. 1t was the fore-runncr
of the Declaration of Independence
of the American Colonies in 1774,
and of the French Charte of 1916.
by which the principles of modern
democracy were formulated.
King John was a vain cruel ard
licentious prince. Abuses that had
developed during earlier, reigns cul-
Of cruelty and oppression. The bur-
den Of tyranny became unbearahle
minating under him in wild orgy
and on brilliant summer day, un-
der an English sky group of de-
termined men, with their hands on
their swords, compelled a stubborn
and defiant King to sign an agree
ment that became a turning point
in history, and from which blessings
have descended upon all mankind.
The charter states in great detail
the exactions and abuses that We're
to be corrected, much of which is
unintelligible to modern man; but
principles that therein were written
it contained certain outstading
forever into the fundamental law of
the land, and during succeeding ages
constituted and imptegn&hia b'llwark
against the encroachmen, OF des-
potic power.
Principles Declared.
Tyrannical forest laws We're modi-
fled. Arbitrary exactions by feudal
lords from their vassals were done
away with The distinction between
Norman and Saxon was obliterated.
1T confirmed and established the
liberties of the city Of London, and
But above all, as Blackstone says:
all other cities, boroughs, towns
and ports of the kingdom. and, last
ly, it protected every individual of
the nation in the free enjoyment of
his life, his liberty and his property,
unless declared to be forfeited by
the judgment of his peers, or the
law Of the land"
In general, Magma Charta set up
the law Of the land as against the
whim and power of the monarch, it
recognized rights of the individual
as against royal vassal and petty
tyrant; it provided that no tax or
supply should be levied except by
the consent of a Great Council rep
resenting the barons and people of
the realm, and it erected safeguards
for the life and property of the in
dividual subject that developed into
trial by jury, habeas corpus, pro-
hibition of trial by torture, and other
principles of human freedom and
justice.

cal and mental, were acute. They
grew too weak to hunt successfully
and attempted to keep themselves
alive on scraps of old gealskin and
rock lichens. One after another sick
ened and died, but still the survivors
kept up faithfully the scientific OBJ
servations for which they had been
sent to the arctic. The original party
of twenty-three men was reduced to
seven when on June %, 1884, they
were rescued. OF the seven. only two
or three were strong enough to move
from their sleeping bags, and even
the strongest could hardly walk in
stumbling fashion. But the scientific
records. which added greatly to the
worlds geographic, meteorologic and
magnetic knowledge. had been care
fully kept until forty hours before
