THE PENTATEUCH

The name Pentateuch means five
books, and refers to the first five
books of the sacred canon, commonly
called the Books of Moses. They are
Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers
and Deuteronomy. There is re-
markable unity of plan pervading the
whole Pentateuch, revealing the work
of one mind in its production, which
could not be the case if this were
collection of independent docu'
mentS.
The first book, Genesis, begins with
the story of the creation of the world
in six days and contains a brief his
tory of mans fall, his expulsion from
Eden, the subsequent history of the
world before the flood, the deluge it.
self, the preservation of Noah and his
family, the peopling of the earth by
the sons of Noah, the calling of Abra-
ham, the outstanding incidents in his
life and in the lives Of Isaac, Jacob
and Esau; Joseph's romantic career
in Egypt and the events following
the famine in Canaan which caused
Jacob and his family to emigrate to
Egypt, where Joseph was reconsiled
to his brethren.
The Book of Exodus continues the
story of the chosen people, giving the
history of the oppression of the 1sra'
elites, their ultimate deliverance from
Pharoah's yoke through the leader
ship of Moses, the divinely commits
stoned law-giver; their desert wan
behring's; the giving of the Law of the
ten words on Mt. Sinai, and directions
for the building of affairs of sacrifice
and the tabernacle, the forerunner OF
Solomon's Temple. The name Exc
dus means "a going out"
Leviticus takes it's name from the
sons of Levi, the priestly family Of
Israel. 1t deals with worship, the SER
vices of the priests, their duties and
the law of sacrifices.

Fight on Black Spot of Roses Should
Begin in Early Spring

One of the best measures for pre-
venting black spot of roses is to care
fully burn in the early spring all dead
leaves which may have fallen to the
ground, it is stated by w. R. Ballard
horticulturist for the University OF
Maryland Extension Service. The
fungus of this disease has been found
to live over the winter in trash and
burning all waste material from the
rose plants aid greatly in limiting
sources of infection.
At the same time, it is not toe
early to be thinking of spraying and
busting campaigns which must begin
early also, and continue at ten-day OF
two-week periods throughout the
growing season. Since the applications
are purely preventive in character, il
is of great Importance that the foliage
be covered before attacks of the fun
gus begin.
The most popular methods of treat
ment seem to be the sulphur-arsenate
dusts, according to Mr.. Ballard, ex.
periments having shown that Dor.
deaux sprays stain the foliage badly
and are bothersome to prepare. For
control of plant lice, a contact spray
such as Black Leaf 40 or Red Arrow
has been found successful. In prepar-
ing the sulphur dust, nine parts Of
sulphur to one part of arsenate OF
lead has been found a good mixture
for the purpose. If Bordeaux is pre-
ferred, then a 1850 mixture should
be used to which flour, at the rate of
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1933-03-02

six pounds for every fifty gallons Of
solution, has been added.
Some varieties of roses are more
susceptible than others to the disease,
which appears as irregular black
spots on the leaves. Hence, elinlina-
ton of these varieties will aid in con-
troll of attacks on the remaining
varieties.
After the black spots have spread
over the entire surface, the leaves
turn yellow and drop off. A second
crop of leaves may develop late in the
summer but often do not mature be-
fore cold weather. Consequently, the
plant becomes weakened and is less
able to withstand winter conditions.
Agricultural Situation and Outlook
"Since prices of farm commodities
are likely to remain low for the next
few years, the farmers success will
depend largely upon his ability to re-
duce costs and make other adjust
ments in his farm operations" it is
stated in the Maryland Agricultu-
raj Situation and Outlook for 1885,"
which has just been issued by the
University of Maryland Extension
Service.
The Maryland farmer must devote
most of his attention to keeping his
farm and obtaining an adequate liv-
ing for his family and such a pro-
gram will compel careful planning of
products, it is stated. Cash expendi-
lures must be reduced, except where
they can definitely increase the farm
income during the current year. Al
so opportunities which may arise to
adjust farm Indebtedness must be
carefully considered.

NATIONAL AFFAIRS
BY FRANK P. LITSCHERT

Frederick H. Prince, president Of
the Chicago Stockyards Company, re-
turning from a trip to Europe some
time ago, had some harsh things to
say about the part played in our gov
eminent by meddling professors. The
Chicago Tribune, of February l.,
quotes Mr.. Prince as declaring that
these professors of the government
meddling type form one of the "chiet
curses of the country"
"You have only to think back the
last ten years upon the difficulties
into which we have been drawn be-
cause of the influence of the profess
sors to realize that the sooner we get
away from this influence the better
we will be-"
The professors to whom Mr.. Prince
referred are not, of course, the earn
est and patient men and women who
are quietly devoting their lives to
science and to the proper training OF
the young men and women of Amer
lea. They are the professional gen.
tlemen who seem to have yen for
running the government or at least
telling Congress and the President
how it ought to be run. These men,
intensely impractical themselves,
(many of them would get lost If
turned loose unattended in the bust
ness district of a city as large as
Kansas City or Seattle) become i'm
bued with the idea that they could
not only run the United States better
than any other class of citizens could
run it, but steer the course of the
world better than Providence can do
it-some of them in fact even deny
ing the existence of Providence.
Occupying professional chairs en-
dowed by American business men they
propose methods for destroying Amer
lean business and for placing the well
fare of Europe over that of their own
country-a system of biting the hand
which feeds one, which could hardly
be improved on for it's efficiency and
ingratitude.
That this statement is not eXagger-
ated is evidenced by the fact that
most of this political PROFESSIONAL
group has during the past decade ad-
vocated every internationalist doc
trine calculated to benefit Europe at
the expense of America, and every
socialistic scheme calculated to under
mine American business stability and
Individual initiative and enterprise.
Free Trade, the League of Nations,
government ownership-these are suf-
ficient to prove the case.
To 90 back to Mr.. Prince. Asked
about war debts, he said:
"Never mind about Europe. If we
take care of our own back yard she'll
take care of hers. We aren't so poor
and we aren't so miserable, but it's
time we were engaging in big meas
ure of common sense. Chuck out the
professors; declare a moratorium on
farm and general business debts, and
forget about Europe. That will lead
US somewhere"

SWIM CHAMPIONSHIP MEET AT M
SPEED OF WIND IS MILES PER HOUR
Kept Highway Forces on the Rush Since It
 Set In
DID MUCH DAMAGE

winds of an exceptionally bust ering nature which have swept over Connecticut during the past two days created situation on the state highways which was closely akin to the emergencies caused by substantial snowfaIls and has kept highway department crews on overtime duty clearing away fallen tree limbs and other debris which the winds have blown on the roads. Highway Commissioner John A. Macdonald reported last night.
 While the wind velocity was recorded in weather reports at eighteen miles per hour which would not normally account for the amount of damage along the roads, it came in quick. sharp gusts which were powerful enough to snap of even the mostly healthy of tree branches. Likewise the stormy gales scooped up all sorts of debris from neighboring fields and. scat- tered it on the highways.
 Thus, an emergency situation was brought about in which motor travel in many sections of the state was endangered. As soon as the danger was discovered, the high way department crews were order- ed out to clean up the fallen limbs. Since early Thursday morning, the crews have been almost constantly at work, quitting at midnight and resuming activities at daybreak. They will remain on duty until the powerful surges of wind have ceased, Commissioner Macdonald stated.

Plans to oppose the attacks by railroad interests by the highway users of this state have been com pleted by tho Motor Truck Assoc1- ation. of Connecticut, Inc, accord ing to an announcement made to- day by Myles. W. Illingworth, ex- ecutive manager of the association.
 Several state organizations, ac- cording to MT Illingworth. have agreed to support the Motor Truck association in it's fight to protect highway transportation in Connec- ticut. Among them. are the Con- necticut state grange: Highway Taxpayers association; Connecticut petroleum industries committee; Independent Oilmen's association; Connecticut Milk Producers asso- citation; Connecticut Milk Dealers associatjon; and Connecticut Man. ufacturers of Carbonated- Bever- ages. 6, 4.e 44sy >e1
 "This state is just one of the 43 in which legislative attempts are being made to crush highway transportation by fostering bills for unjust taxation and unfair re- strictions on motor vehicles of all kinds,' said MT Illingworth.
 Everywhere" he stated, "the charges being made by the rail- road interests are similar. They accuse operators of trucks and trailers and buses of a multitude of things. But, the one point evad- ed is tl.e highly important one of public service. Transportation costs

WHAT MOTORISTS
 PAY IN TAXES
Statement Issued By Press ident of State Motor
 Club
BURDEN TOO HEAVY

New Haven. March 1.-The mo- torist paid, either directly or indi. rectly, taxes amounting to $1.099,- 293,844 during 1892, according to statement by Harry B. Kennedy. president of the Connecticut Motor club, following an analysis of a tax study recently completed by the Taxation committee of the Ameri- can Automobile association.
 Mir Kennedy,s statement indicat- ed that this huge sum represented more than half the state revenue from all fofms of taxation
 "The motor vehicle tax bill is equivalent to an average per ve- hicle of $45 2S," Mir Kennedy as- serted. "And with the total valu- ation of motor vehicle property placed at $4 5.625.600, the taxes equalled an annual tax of 24.4 per cent on the average value of the vehicle. This would mean that over the average life period of the car seven years-the car owner pays in taxes 170.8 per cent of the av- craze value of his car.
 "In the three year period, 1880, 1881. 1882. the number of regis tered vehicles declined 2,269,281 or nine per cent" he continued. ln the same period the average tax per vehicle increased $7.56 or 20 per cent; the tax per cent of valu- ation increased 6.1 per cent; while the total tax through the average life of the vehicle, APT per cent"
 MT Kennedy declared that while no ono seriously contends that the decline in registrations is wholly due to the constant organizing of motor taxes. there is ample evil dence that the multiplicity of taxes is a factor in the growing inability to avn and operate motor vehicles.

have been greatly reduced by highway users. and these savings have been passed directly, to the public. Especially is this true in the case of trucks and trailers, which have been responsible for lowering the costs of many food products as much as 50 per cent. Formerly. a good portion of the price paid by the public for many foods was used for transporting the product from the producer to the consumer.
 All of these attacks on highway transportation are, in the final analysis. attacks upon the public purse. The excessive taxes sought in the proposed bills would be paid by all motorists, and if truck and trailer transportation is eliminated the cost of many products will have to be raised to meet the high freight rates of railroads."~
