"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.

In our next issue we shall give a bit of masonic items that will be hailed with delight by all decently moral masons in this and all other states of America. The war has aroused and awakened Americans to a new energy of tilling the soil. Children, rich and poor are working, encouraged by their parents. That is what Germans have been doing for a hundred years. An industrious man, if he economize, can get rich on five acres. Two horses, as many cows, ten sheep and fowls of all kinds can be kept with endless profits. It is enough stock, and not too much land to be kept rich and productive. The meeting of the Zionists, (Jews] which is being held in Baltimore, Md., is like unto that of most American gatherings, both white and colored, i.e., turmoil reigns from the time they convene until they adjourn. No wonder people of good hard common sense get off in a corner to themselves and remain away from these so-called religious and near-religious gatherings. Not a few colored people calling themselves freedmen for fifty and more years, certainly have not so lived as to eliminate the d, from the fact, they really believe that they are going to be reenslaved. If they had loved freedom and improved their opportunities, with a growing love for manhood and its rights, they would with delight, behold the star of hope rising gloriously for their good. Crucify your ignorance, strain from your blood its curse of servility, and you will see things in a different light and help rather than retard our progress. Two thousand machinists at the plant of the General Electric Co., quit one day last week as a result of the employment by that corporation of Robert Dixon, a colored man and a student at Union College. Labor unions consider it a move to substitute colored for white labor, but this statement is promptly denied by the General Electric people. They say that Dixon is employed for the vacation season and that he will stay. It is just such methods as these that are needed to combat prejudice. The --- Negro's rise industrially is just as disquieting to the prejudiced gentry in Schenectady, New York as it was in East Saint Louis, Illinois. In both places things are about normal, and the world awaits the next move of the class which invariably seeks to stir up race hatred. "If you put a (white) boy from Mississippi in a Negro regiment from Massachusetts, you won't have to go to Germany to have war. You will have it right here." The above words were uttered by Congressman Nichols of South Carolina recently, in Congress. It is a divine decree that there must be thousands of first class funerals in this country, before justice can have sway. Men of, brain and soul pity such as Nichols and it is their duty to warn them that a gap in a new Red Sea is wide open for them. And that a new issue of Negroes will write and sing a new song about the young Pharoahs, "who got lost in the Red Sea', is almost certain. Divine inspiration impresses us, that the ending of this world war, will do more for us than that which broke the fetters from four million slaves, for "God moves in a mysterious way, his wonders to perform." Mark our word, before this terrible war ends, hundreds, and thousands and millions of Negroes will be armed, officered by their own people, fighting for this, their country and the women and children of America's Negro haters, whose carcasses will have enriched the soil. "A sorrowing sister of a departed hero formerly a member of the 9th or 10th Cavalry, went to the National Cemetery to decorate her brother's grave on Decoration day, but was halted by the keeper at the gate. He informed her in choice cracker dialect that "You Negroes can't come in here until after three o'clock this evening, the white people are here now and there shan't be no mixing today." The lady, Mrs. Patterson, has gone for years along with other colored friends to decorate the graves of their departed friends and relatives." In face of the above excerpt clipped from an exchange we are reminded daily that America is fighting for world freedom and Democracy. If so, it must be a mere sham when applied to people whose hue is sometimes a little darker than their pale face brothers and sisters. The idea of a woman whose brother had given up his life in defense of this country being kept out of a Federal graveyard, except at the discretion of a crack-brained custodian. Such exhibitions of senseless prejudice are wholly at variance with ideals of Democracy and the sooner President Wilson does his "bit" toward securing his colored constituency their every right and stops discrimination of any kind whatever in Government institutions, the more sainted will become his name the world over. Let us have Democracy and absolute freedom at home for all people at all times, and then we will be exponents of these two most priceless heritages for the whole Universe. What Comes Next?

SODA FOUNTAINS FACE A SERIOUS GAS FAMINE More American Soldiers Have Arrived in France QUIETLY, QUICKLY AND WITHOUT MISHAP TO MAR THE VOYAGE, THE SECOND CONTINGENT OF U. S. TROOPS HAVE LANDED SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE, AND THE WAR-HEARTED GAULS ARE GIVING THEM A ROUSING WELCOME. LACK OF TUBES GIVEN AS REA SON FOR LACK OF CARBONIC WASHINGTON, June 28—(Bulletin 3:30 P. M.) Very little is being given out about the landing of American troops today, except what came last night and early this morning. It is understood that other boat loads have landed, since this morning, to be followed by steady streams, but a strict censorship cuts out all details. SOFT DRINK DISPENSERS MAK ING FRANTIC EFFORTS TO GET SUPPLY FROM ALL DRINKERS WILL TURN TO LEMONADE. WASHINGTON, June 28.—Yesterday the second contingent of American troops made a safe landing-at least several big ship loads of soldiers. That the votaries of the soda fountains and soft drink emporiums dispensing places say that the famine is at hand, in many cases big users having their last carbonic gas tube on. Wild enthusiasm marked their arrival, as the warm hearted Gauls welcomed the men of Uncle Sam under Stars and Stripes, realizing that the trim body of fine soldiers was but the advance guard of the mighty armies the United States will throw into the great Anglo-French battle front to help humble the cruel, arrogant Teutons. Inquiry from big users in town, including the Martinsburg Bottling Works, the Greek American Candy Kitchen, with the several drug stores where soft drinks are served, brought out no really definite information as to the cause of the gas famine that threatens to paralyze this business, except a general understanding of a gas tube shortage. Frantic efforts have been made by gas users to get gas from all sources without avail, and it looks like the famine in carbonated drinks will be on by Sunday in earnest. Lemonade, the real cooling drink of the long ago, with limeade, and the like will again come into their own. All the troops now arrived have been transferred to a camp not distant from the landing point, where Major-General William L. Sibert is installed. Thence they probably will go soon to a point near the front. All the troops are in excellent shape, enthusiastic over the successful trip and their reception, and eager for action. In defiance of the German submarines, thousands of seasoned regulars and marines, trained fighting men with the tan of long service on the Mexican border, or in Haiti, or Santo Domingo, still on their faces, have been hastened overseas to light beside the French, the British, the Belgian, the Russian, the Portugueses and the Italian troops on the western front. One thing stands out sharply, despite the fact that the size of the task that has been accomplished is not fully revealed as yet. This is that American enterprise has set a new record for the transportation of troops. FAITHFUL CANINE REFORMS Considering the distance to be covered and the fact that all preparations had to be made after the order came from the White House the night of May 18, it is practically certain that never before has a military expedition of this size been assembled conveyed and landed without mishap in so short a time by any nation. It is a good augury of future achievements. MOUNDSVILLE, W. Va., June 28. Taught fidelity by a little dog that strayed into the State Penitentiary here, Harry Howard, a prisoner, once regarded as the most unruly of the convicts, is today the best behaved prisoner in the institution. Howard had made many attempts to escape but now is a model prisoner. The American forces will be a net gain to the Allies.. It will throw no single burden of supply or equipment upon them. The troops will be fed, clothed, armed and equipped by the United States. Around them at the camp on French soil tonight are being stored supplies that will keep them going for months, and more will follow. One day Howard saw a little ratterier in the gateway to the prisons, and he coaxed him to enter and took him to his cell, where he secured him and he secreted him and smuggled crumbs of food to him as best he could. Later he told the warden, begging to be allowed to keep the dog, and the warden consented, all though it is a violation of the penitentiary rules. General Pershing and his staff have been busy for days preparing for the arrival of the men. Despite the enormous difficulties of unpreparedness and submarine dangers that faced them the plans of the Army General Staff have gone through with clock-like precision. When the order came to prepare immediately an expeditionary force to go to France, virtually all of the men now across the seas were on the Mexican border. General Pershing himself was at his headquarters in San Antonio. There were no army transports available in the Atlantic. The vessels that carried the troops were scattered on their usual routes. Army reserve stores were still depleted from the border mobilization. Regiments were below war strength. The dog has made Howard the most contented prisoner in the institution. Howard spends all his spare time teaching the animal tricks and the dogs is always produced for the entertainment of visitors. DR.

Va., June 26. What may be the deepest well in the country is 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 of 50 feet found gas but it was decided to drill deeper hoping to strike a larger flow of gas or a big pool of oil. 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 productive of results. Today, the well is St'a depth of 6,500 feet and it will likely be drilled to 10,000 feet. A few years ago a well was drilled in Barbour county and much oil was found at a depth of 7,000 feet. POISONED BY WILD ROOTS MISTAKEN FOR ANISE. CUMBERLAND, Md., June 26.—H. D. Hartung, this city, and two grandbuns, William Hartung, 14 years old, Youngstown, Ohio, and Fred Lewis, this city were poisoned yesterday by a wild root which they chewed in mistake for anise while strolling in the woods near the Bedford road. Young Hartung was the worse affected. His grandfather and cousin although nauseated, carried the boy to a nearby house, where an automobile was procured and all were taken to the Alleghany Hospital. Young Hartung continued 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, assistant superintendent of schools of Alleghany county, Md.; was killed Saturday by a freight train three miles north of Hyndman while returning from work. He is survived by his widow and three daughters. Who The Owners Are: In accordance with a newly enacted law in W.

Should this measure be made a law, then an entire over-hauling and revision of the war tax bill, would be inevitable, it is declared. Next Sunday, July 1st, has been designated by President Wilson as "Patriotic Sunday," to be observed as recommended in the following words of the nation's head: To the officers, teachers and scholars of the Sunday schools of the United States of America The present insistent call of our beloved country must be heard and answered by every citizen of the United States in proportion to his or her ability to maintain the national power and honor. Many citizens will render their aid by force of arms on the battlefield, while others will make the nation strong by their patriotic gifts and support to the common cause. It is, therefore, highly fitting that the Sunday Schools of the nation should observe a special patriotic day, and on this occasion should make a special contribution to the American Red Cross for the alleviation of the suffering entailed by the prosecution of the present war. It is my earnest hope that your generosity may be unstinted in this, the hour of the nation's need, and that this special day may mean much to you in the understanding of the cause for which our beloved land now contends.

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.
