GARNER, LOLA AND
BABY MARJORIE LOU

Mr.. Garner Stecn is whopping
big fellow every day of the year,
but he's bigger this week than ev-
er before in his fair young life.
You see his wife went over to Sc
attic a few days ago to do some
holiday shopping and thought
she'd run over to the Seattle Gen
eral Hospital on January 1st to
make a little call, and just after
she reached there the stork flew
over the big ivy-covered brick
building and dropped seven
pound girl baby which Mrs. Steen
thought looked so sweet that she
grabbed it. 1t is her very own,
now, but she's going to Let Garner
share in the expense Of caring for
the dear little thing. The Mother
is getting along just fine Mother
ing the little darling, and Gamers
smile stretches from ear to ear.
They have named her Marjorie
Lou, but the News Record feels her
name should have been "Garnet
Stena."

GOOD NEWS FOR THE

According to the report Of Ar
thur Frank, pathologist at the
Puyallnp Experiment Station, a
remedy has at last been found
that will kill 1000 of the adult
beetles that produce the destruc
tive larvae which feed on the
roots and kill the plants.
For four years past Mr.. For
sell has been working on a poison
bait He has found poison that
the beetles will take wi,n the bait.
In trials at the Western Washing

terial killed 1000 of the beetles
in an infested field. Prof. Melon
der of Pullman College and his as
sistants have given this material
a thorough trial and found that
it killed 1000
1t takes about 100 pounds of
this to the acre, 1t is put on just
when the last berries come off.
All the young have matured then
and come to the surface. A hand
full of the bait thrown on the

CLEMENCEAU ON THE u. S. A.

The letter that Clemenceau sent to President
Coolidge expressed no high opinion of the
United States attitude on war debts. The old
French tiger is fighting for his country and
uses the weapons at hand. Four years ago,
when he wrote an introduction for his book
called Industrial America in the World War,
Clemenceau thought we'll of the United States
and what it had done for France. Read this
extract from Mr. Clemenceau's own writing:
Meanwhile, here are some eloquent
figures. In eighteen months the United
States sent us 100000 tons of food sup
plies and 5000, 900 tons of war material.
Thesteel they sent us represented the raw
material for O,OOO, 900 75' shells. The
foodstuffs they sent us fed 100000
Frenchmen for a year and half. If this
help had not been Forthcoming, our army
could not have held"

This column recorded the adven-
ture planned by four modern Morse
men in the spring, sailing expedi-
ton from Norway to America fol-
lowing as nearly as possible the
course of Lief Ericsson. This was a
perilous trip of 6400 miles and made
in a 42-foot sailing boat. They were
in great danger from icebergs; they
were locked for 21 days in an ice
pack off Labrador and then wealth
cred a terrible hurricane before they
were picked up by coast guard cut
ter near Cape Ann with provisions
about gone. The captain of the ex-
pedition says he is proud to have
been the first in 900 years to make
the attempt but thinks once in 900
years is frequent enough for such a
trip. The arrival last week created
no little attention and the boat will

WHY AMERICA LEADS THE WORLD

Here is something for those who wonder
why America progresses to ponder.
The people of the United States are quick
to take up the new and useful; the time or la
Dor saving device quickly comes into general
use and in most cases, assumes price mark
that all can afford Of practically every new
device be in communication, transportation,
business or the home, the American people
have more than all the rest of the world. With
America owning more than 80 per cent of the
worlds automobiles it then is no wonder that
America leads the world in wealth and pro-
gress. The wonder is that the rest Of the
world sits by while we DO.

ROADS SPUR PROGRESS

Good roads have not been given the credit
due them as the advance agent of civilization
and human progress The church. the public
school, the printing press, the home, all these
have played part, but have not improved
methods of communication accomplished even
more?
Hard-surfaced highways stretching from
state to state and from ocean to ocean and
border to border are welding the American
people into solid, coherent nation, abolishing
provincialism and sectionalism, destroying dia-
letcs and spreading tolerance and understand
ing everywhere.
The first smooth all-year-round roads were
built in this country within the memory of
many now living. For the reasons that traffic
wa sheavier, the people more progressive and
the municipal governments more prosperous
the first pavements were constructed in the
largest cities. Dirt roads and cobblestones
preceded them. Today the farmers and small
towns are as insistent as city taxpayers for
good roads, an dthe urbanite demands i'm
proved highways in the country for his auto
mobiles and trucks.
Just because much of the traffic on the pub
lie highways is pleasure bent does not make
the paved highway an expensive luxury For
tn efarmer, the business man and the nation s
transportation system they are an essential in
stitution.

Mrs. Nichols Peterson of Tifton
has large number of friends in this
city to be interested in her success
full race for senator from the 47th
district. 1t is a fair proposition that
women should be numbered among
the senatorial candidates and GER
tainly Mrs. Peterson is eminently
qualified for this or any other cleo
tive position. Mrs. Peterson has had
training in public service by active
work in the Georgia state federation
of Women's Clubs. She will be wise
and true and fearless in the discharge
of her public duties. We do not
know her opponent, but we know that
conscience is the closer guide Of a
woman's judgment and action than
usually of mems and that public SER
vice is more sacredly esteemed by
women. We hope Mrs. Peterson will
be elected.
