"HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN, UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN" The Pioneer APHIS. (Megoura solani and Myzus persicae.) LIFE HISTORY—It is probable that this insect, like most aphids, passes the winter in the egg stage. These eggs are very small and hard to find. In the early spring they hatch into the nymph. This is a pale green bug with a dark green stripe along the middle of the back. The head is lighter in color, with brownish eyes. On the back near the posterior end are two horn-like projections, the wrongly called "Honey tubes." The insects are wingless, and generally remain so throughout life. They grow very rapidly, especially in warm, moist weather, when they may be able to produce young in a week or even less. The individuals of this first brood, known as the "Stem Mothers," are parthenogenic; that is, they produce young without being fertilized. Indeed, no males are produced at this time of the year. Strictly speaking, the stem mothers are without sex, as they are not sexually developed females. They are also viviparous; that is, they bring forth the young alive, and at a rapid rate. One aphid of another species has been seen to produce eight young in 24 hours, and one can easily find family groups consisting of a single large aphis surrounded by a dozen or more smaller ones, her progeny. It is thus seen that the ewe powers of reproduction of aphids are enormous. They are eagerly preyed upon by a host of predaceous insects, among the more important of which are lady beetles (both larvae and adults), and the young of the lace-winged flies, and syrphus flies. Among higher animals the small birds, such as wrens, and especially warblers, destroy immense numbers. The common lizards, and probably toads and small snakes are efficient friends of the growers. Fungus enemies also kill many. From time to time wings are developed on the adults. These serve to spread the species from plant to plant much more rapidly than is possible with the crawling individuals. Toward winter, males and true females are produced. The fertilized females lay the winter eggs from which develop the stem mothers of the next year. In the warm climate of Florida, especially the southern part, however, the viviparous parthenogenic reproduction described above can undoubtedly continue all winter. TREATMENT—Kerosene emulsion is a standard remedy against all plant lice. To make this, dissolve one-half pound of hard soap in one gallon of soft water and boil. Warm two gallons of kerosene (setting the dish containing it in a vessel of hot water is a safe method), and add the boiling hot suds to it away from the fire. Stir violently, or better, churn with a force pump for a few minutes. It should first get milky in appearance, then creamy, and finally a soft, butter-like mass is obtained, which, when cold, will stick to a glass without oiliness. This stock emulsion can be kept for come time. When wanted for use it should be diluted with from 10 to 20 parts of water. If soft water cannot be readily obtained, soften the water by the addition of soap, soda, or borax. A dilution of one part of kerosene emulsion to ten of water will usually not burn the plants. However, as the strength that a plant can endure depends much on its condition of growth and the weather, it is best to experiment a little, and if the above strength is harmful, dilute it down. A strength of one to twenty is sometimes quite effective against plant lice. Whale-oil soap, or fish-oil soap, in the proportion of one pound to six gallons of water is effective. Fine tobacco dust is very effective against aphids if applied when the plants are wet with rain or dew. As in the case of sprays, this should be applied thoroughly. The finer the dust, the more effective it will be. In order to be of any value most contact insecticides, o rvapors they give off should be able to enter the fine breathing pores or spiracles of the insects. If too coarse to do this, they will be useless. The tobacco can be applied in the form of a decoction. To make this, boil one pound leaves o rtwo of stems or dust, in two gallons of water. Many useful tobacco extracts are on the market. One of these that is much used is "Black-leaf 40" (Kentucky Tobacco Products Co., Louisville, Ky.). One part of it is used in 1,000 parts of water. BASE CAMP FOR PERSHING READY AT ST. QUENTIN FINAL PREPARATIONS MADE FOR FIRST AMERICAN FOR- CES WHO WILL HOLD JUNCTION POINT OF BRIT- ISH AND FRENCH MAIN FRONT LINES WAR DEPARTMENT MAKING MIGHTY EFFORT TO GET FORCES READY WASHINGTON, June —The War Department has received complete reports from Major-General John J. Pershing on what has been accomplished in preparation for American regulars in France. The American General's three weeks of labor have borne fruit to every detail for their reception and transportation to the front has been worked out. General Pershing has been working from early morning to late at night, and has been in constant communication with Marshal Joffre. One will be at General Pershing's headquarters, the other in Washington. Under th's system the dispatches would be given out for distribution in Washington. Among the Army War College's recommendations concerning a censorship in war time for the United States was one prohibiting criticism of commanders as prejudicial to the Marshal Joffre has devoted a most his entire attention for the last few weeks to preparations for the American contingent and the utmost speed has been attained in making everything ready. The American base will be south of St. Quentin, where hard fighting may be expected. A section of the line in that neighborhood will be turned over to Pershing as soon as he has sufficient first-line troops and reserves to hold it. This is at the point where the French and British lines join. On the basis of these reports, the War Department is doing its mightiest today to make the necessary forces available at the earliest possible moment. In connection with the Navy Department and Shipping Board a great transport system is being organized whereby entire fleets of Musselmen will be turned over to the War Department for one voyage at a time. The department's plans for supplying men to go on these transports are well along. After the first division of regulars is in France the department will go ahead with preparations for embarkin at least 2 and probably five additional divisions of mixed regulars and National Guardmen immediate y. That will bring the strength there up to 150,000 exclusive of the Amer'cans already in the French and British armies and the 10,000 railroad engineers recruited Press.

Va., sune 26.— What may be the deepest well in the country {s being drilled on the farm of Mrs, Martha O. Goff in Booths Creek district. The well is being drilled by the Hope Natural Gas Company which at a depth ot 50 feet found gas but it was decided to drili deeper hoping to strike a larger flow of gas or a big pool of ofl. In both the company was disappointed and when a depth of 3,000 feet was reached it was decided to abandon the well, At this juncture the United States Government stepped in and asked that the drilling be continued, as Federal officials have been anxious to learn if a deep well would be pro- ductive of results. Today, the well is t'a depth of 6,500 feet and it will likely be drilled to 10,000 feet. A fow years ago a well was drilled 'n Barbour county and much oil was found at a depth of 7,000 feet. POISONED BY WILD ROOTS MISTAKEN FOR ANISE. ‘CUMBHRLAND, Md., June 26.—H. D. Hartung, this city, and two grand- syns, William Hartung, 14 years old, Youngstown, Ohio, and Fred Lewis, this city were poisoned yesterday by a wild root which they chewed in mis- take for anise while strolling in the woods near tlie Bedford road. Young Hartung was the worse affected. His grandfather and cousin although nau- seated, carried the boy to a nearby house, where an automobile was pro- curéd and all were taken to the Alle_ ghany Hospital. Young Hartung con_ tinued in convulsions for several hours, but he was pronounced out of danger today. Blaine M. Barkley, 35 years old, brother-in-law of John J. Tipton, as_ sistant superintendent of schools of Alleghany county, Md, was killed Saturday by a freight train three miles uortin of Hyndman while re. turning from work.

Kogelschatz, the well known local funeral director and embalmer, has received a new automobile hearse, the first one in Martinsburg. The machine, which is a Cadillac, is a large black one, with glass sides and doors, ornamented with very pretty carving, and presents a fine appearance. The automobile hearse is fast supplanting the wagon, which has been used for hundreds of years. It is used now almost by every city undertaker. Mr. Kogelschatz is to be congratulated upon his selection. ASKED FOR BY THE RED CROSS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. REPORT WILL BE MADE BY MARTINSBURG CHAPTER IN FEW DAYS. RED CROSS BOUND TO PROVE A VIAL FACTOR IN THE Red Cross Week is at an end and the $100,000,000 has been raised. Martinsburg, as usual did her share in contributing a portion of the amount. The ladies are not quite ready to state the amount raised by them, for they are yet waiting for a number of contributions which were promised, but so far have not been received. It has been an active week for the ladies and they have workd indefatigably in order that every dollar could be raised would go into the fund. The people of Martinsburg, as well as the entire country have responded nobly to the task of raising the immense sum required. The call was one of the most stupendous and appealing in the history of the world, and America has again demonstrated by contributions that she is in this war to see it through to a successful issue. To demonstrate how the money will raised will be spent a dispatch from France relative to the American Red Cross officials landing in that country a few days ago, states they have been presented with a notable gift in the way of one of the main buildings on the Place de la Concorde for the use of the Red Cross. The building was presented by American friends of the Red Cross. One of the commission said: "It has been good fortune to finance all our expenses of administration through the generosity of American friends, so that everything realized during Red Cross Week in America will go into the actual work pertaining to the American Army and Navy, and not a penny will be used for administration charges. This insures the funds going to important relief projects in France and Belgium, as well as to-along lines approved by American general headquarters. The Red Cross through the generosity of the American public is bound to be a vital factor in the war. Thousands of wounded Americans are sure to be helped. You—if you contributed to the cause—will have much to be thankful for in the days to come. Now, do not stop here. There is yet much that you can do. The ladies are thankful for all that you have done, and appreciate it very highly. If you are not a member of the Red Cross you should be. Headquarters are always open. Pay the place a visit and see what the ladies are doing. You will want to assist. STOMACH TROUBLE Mr. Marion Holcomb, of Nancy, Ky., says: "For quite a long while I suffered with stomach trouble. I would have pains and a heavy feeling after my meals, a most disagreeable taste in my mouth. If I ate anything with butter, oil or grease, I would spit it up. I began to have regular sick headache. I had used pills and tablets, but after a course of these, I would be constipated. It just seemed to tear my stomach all up. I found they were no good at all for my trouble. I heard THEDFORD'S BLACK-DRAUGHT BLACK-DRAUGHT recommended very highly, so began to use it. It cured me. I keep it in the house all the time. It is the best liver medicine made. I do not have sick headache or stomach trouble any more." Black-Draught acts on the jaded liver and helps it to do its important work of throwing out waste materials and poisons from the system. This medicine should be in every household for use in time of need. Get a package today. If you feel sluggish, take a dose tonight. You will feel fresh tomorrow. Price 25c a package. All druggists.
