An Independent leader told the i correspondent today that it was a matter of indifference to the Independent who was chosen as neither man was liked, but that Noske was least liked because he would antag- * onize hundreds of thousands of per- c sons who regard him as a "blood- * houncf and oppressor.'" ' The Democrats, still fighting a- 1 gainst signing, today expelled Von s Richthofen from the peace commit- c , tee, because he favored the treaty.. s ' 1 c F LABOR ENDORSES I LEAGUE COVENANT a d Atlantic City, N.

These lodges tiave a combined membership of 10,318. J. P. Carlisle, grand master for South Carolina of the Independent Drder of Odd Fellows, has issued a patriotic appeal to the 100 South Carolina lodges, which have 2,392 nembers. The grand master calls jpon the lodges to invest of their ;reasury funds as much as practical n War Savings 'Stamps. Further, le asks that a war savings society je organized in each lodge and that ;very assitance be given the 1919 javings movement of the United States Treasury Department. These societies are now being organized. There are 150 lodges of Knights >f Pythias in South Carolina, with a nembership of 7,826, and the grand :hancellor of the order, Colonel 0. J. Bond, has issued an appeal for investment in War Savings Stamps and For the organization of societies. In iddition, the Fraternal Aid Union )f the eastern division of America, ncluding South Carolina and having n this division 150 lodges and 15,)00 members, is heartily cooperating Inasmuch as many of the most inluential and substantial citizens , in ivery community are lodge members ;he War Loan Organization is more ;han pleased at the endorsement giv?n, and it feels that the savings novement- has already received a ;remendous impetus. Thrift, which neans systematic saving, wise spendng and safe investment, is rapidly jecoming a national trait and its idoption is not only proving of great ralue to organizations as a whole but lighly beneficial to all the individual nembers. VSK PRESIDENT TO PROTECT NEW DYE INDUSTRY Washington, D. C., June 21.? Numerous cotton mills of the south lave joined in a petition to Presilent Wilson to take steps both at he peace conference and by legisation to prevent Germany from e-establishing her monopoly in dyetuffs after the war. The petition [eclares that the American dyetuffs industry is a national necissity and that Germany is again >reparing to monopolize tne markets unless extraordinary methods ire used to prevent. No tariff, it is leclared, is sufficient in itself urb the German monopoly. Signers to the petition number everal hundred and include large aills and dye manufacturers of few York, Pennsylvania, New Engand, Ohio, and other sections. The Jeorge and South Carolina signers if the petition include: Clenrtria. H. Morton. Atlanta; lamburger Cotton Mills, Columbus; Jibley Manufacturing company, Aurusta. South Carolina, Brogan Mills, Anlerson; Excelsior Knitting Mills, Jnion; Campertown Mills, Greenville; The Springsten Mills, Cheser; H. C. Touj-mond Cotton Mills, More than a dozen cotton mills in 'forth Carolina also signed the pe;ition, which says in part: "The undersigned respectfully submit that in their opinion an inlependent, self-sustaining Ameri:an dye manufacturing industry is i antional necessity; that such a iye industry cannot be established jnless competition from German Factories, including those in occupied territory, be cut off for a period of years; that no tariff will furnish protection against the enormous resources and unscrupulous methods of the German trust fighting to regain its foreign markets, and that only a licensing plan, like the British, excluding all foreign dyes reasonably obtainable in the United States wil save the new industry. We respectfully urge that immediate steps be taken to produce both in the peace treaty and in legiplnfinn moaoiifoa nopngggrv to tablish such a plan." REVIVAL OF CONFIDENCE. p tl Ther has been more improvement b in the business situation than is gen- f erally appreciated, says Henry Clews t' The volume of business is not only n increasing, but the widespread reviv- n al of confidence is even more noticeable. This is illustrated by an extra- y ordinary increase in the number and 11 size of new incorporations; the total a ronnrted frtT Mav onn. with A f capitalization of nearly $750,000,000. This is the largest total on record except when the United States r Steel Corporation was created in ' February, 1901. It was also $233,- 8 000,000 larger than the total for ' April. The principal increases were * in oil, gas, coal, export, shipping and d chemical concerns. Apart from these 11 features the returns indicated a re- & markable recovery of enterprise. Ad- 3 vices from the interior report more n activity in building owing to the t( pressing demand for housing and of- c flee accommodation. The steel trade, ^ which has been somewhat of a lag-i gard since the cessation of war, is in( b an optimistic frame of mind, confi-j dently expecting an influx of orders! ere long. It is recognized that good; harvests are certain to create great. j, prosperity throughout the agricul- n tural districts, especially in the great 0 wheat and cotton belts.

The great swarms were expected t to come out during the next few;* nights. During the next few days tree c trunks, bushes, and chunks were o thickly studded with cast pupa skins, t The period during which the cica- i das do damage to trees by splitting s It.hp hrnnrhps to /fonnait eccs would fi not begin for 10 days or so, said ea-| \ tomologists of the United States De-j MERl If you have n your wants fc Haddo . are wel most e~\ m^r am ?give your bi <1 Satisfac I j I artment of Agriculture. Within fiat period it would be easily poasile for the individual orchardist or armer to determine whether or not lie insects were present in sufficient umbers to make protective measures ecessary. The one sure means of protecting oung trees, the entomologists say, is o place a bag over each tree. Spray* nd similar measures nave not Deen ound particularly effective. The entimologists Of the Departlent of Agriculture undertook a seies of cicada studies in connection nth this emergence, to determine ome points not fully investiated bgeore. Additional experiments were o be made with sprays. A great eal of additional illustrative materil was gathered, particularly phoographs of the activities of the inects during the night. A series of ight studies were made also to deermine just when and under what onditions the insects emerge from lie ground.

It went right after my troubles, and I am feeling better than I have in a long time. I am going to take some Dreco back to New -1 York with me for fear I cannot get it there." Dreco acts upon the vital organs and restores them to healthy actum. It is soon noticed that the food digests better without the gas foaming.
