If violets and poke weed were not destroyed as directed here- f tofore it should be done immediately. % Blackberry vines on terraces are al- ' cn .Innorornno C Second. Reports of severe injury * are already coming from various f parts of the Slate. Infestation gen- 1 erally appears in spots , and it is r recommended that discolored leaves 11 be picked, and destroyed. A convenient way is to carry a crocus r sack which has been well moistened R with kerosene, and into it the leaves r can be thrown. Such leaves should d be thoroughly destroyed. If this a method is then assisted by showers c of rain it will to a greut extent pre- c Vent dangers. i Third. The field should be close- r ly watched, and when the cotton be- v comes sufficiently large for the a plants to touch each other, the t spiders win spread rrom every in- n festcd plant causing the discolored o areas in a cotton field and subse- 1 quent dying of the plants. General- I ly infested stalks should therefore e be pulled up when first noticed and i burned. \ Fourth. As a last resort the in- f fested areas may be sprayed, using r one of the following solutions, the r spray being directed on the under v sides of the leaves. s One gallon of lime sulphur wash to v 100 gallons of water. If potassium 1 sulphide is available it may be used instead of the lime sulphur wash at r the rate of three pounds to 100 gal- a Ions of water. After cotton is j grown it will require from 125 to t 250 gallons per acre acording to the f size of the plants. r Red spider is a dry weather insect r and no serious damage need be ex- c pected in localities where wet spells a occur. I CHINESE EDUCATIONAL CONFERENCE PLANS CHANGES * r An organized effort to make Man- r darin the only spoken language of Pl%ina nn/1 i - .la nnrn.* a 1.1.?(1 aail viiuia auu lu uu nwajr mtii a uuuuicu ^ dialects now in existence is to be made ^ immediately, says Hollington K. Tong t in Millard's Review. This decision was reached at the Educational Con- e ference of the Presidents of the High 1 Normal Colleges recently held in Peking. Beginning this summer country teachers will be required to take courses in special institutes of Man- t darin where phonetic scripts will also a be taught. The dispatch of an educa- " tional commission to America in 1919, the adoption of special means to unify c educational methods, the provision of a positions for trained teachers, and the p formation of a college alliance w*ere \ other decisions at this notable gather- c ing of educationalists. t A UmrA k/inn A*. A/1I? /TIUIUU^II tucic na*c uucn uintT cuucational conferences held from time to s time, this conference was the first of 1 its kind since the establishment of the J - / republic seven years ago. Its signifi- r cance can not be lightly estimated, i Throughout the country there are six f High Normal Colleges whose forma- I tion has been authorized by the jnin- a isfcrv of education. They are located t at Peking, Nanking, Wuchang, Cheng- \ tu, Canton and Fengtien, and are con- ? sidered the strategic points of China educationally ine establishment of i the High Normal College at Fengten ? la$t April completed the plan framed i by the ministry of education during ? Yuan Shih-kai's time. The function 1 1' of these institutions is to supply tenchel's to innumerable secondary schools, pnd the great burden of improving and spreading education also rests with them. The decisions made at the conference were in the form of recommenda- , tions, but all of them have now been approved by the minister of education, who is sympathetically disposed toward the reforms The constitute for ^ China a comprehensive educational ^ program worthy of special attention, jj, The resolution to teach Mandarin to j, country teachers, so that they can some day conduct their teaching in that language, when it is properly carried out, will unify the country and, 'ear down the wall of provincial pr prejudice. Even Chinese themselves find it difficult to travel from one part w, ->f the country to another on account of | Ihe use of many different dialects, which frequently leads to misunder-|uc standings and sometimes to real al-!jrr ;ercations. Many schools, colleges and I iniversities throughout the length and W) ircndth of the republic have already ommcnced to give courses in Man-; q( larin. but the effort of the High Nor- th nal Colleges to teach it to r-nnni rv I a. I-Cl' lenchers is the latest. Ian The suppestion to send an cducn- th ional commission to America was it v.ade by Pi* P. W. Kuo. a Columbia jGf University graduate, and one "'hina's most brilliant youner educators. | rhe commission will consist of the iha ^residents of the Hierh Normal Col-'ict epos and delegates from the minis-lun ry of education and will be similar toiwc he commission despatched to the Phil-lms ppines and Japan in the summer ofiwc 017. Tne fortlicominp visit of pram- Dc nent Chinese educators Will undoubt- Pr idly result in the adoption by China \vl ?f many of the features of America's kn iducational system. sh The unification of educational meth- ke tds planned by the conference pro- Th 'ides that two-thirds of the students m? or each hiph Normal Collepe should coi ome from the other 17 provinces and of he special dominions, and one-third kn rom the province in which the school ov s located. Such a system, aside from thi emovinp local prejudice, is bcur.tkto sh nake the educational methods more de iniform. Recommendation for the im- tic nediate certification of secondarv in chool teachers, when carried out, will thi esult in the elimination of those who Ar lo not possess sufficient qualifications cai nd the takinp into service of normal wi ollepc praduates. The division of the eqi ountry into six educational districts an n which are located these collepes is bei 10 less praiseworthy. The presidents shi /ill be required to visit their districts wi' nd study their needs with a view va' o meetinp them. It is hoped that bei nore practical teachers will be turned des nit in future. The formation of an aliance amonp the Hiph Normal Col- so opes for mutual assistance will make j a: 1 1 * ' uui atiunai wotk mucn easier ana ies^ | uu rksomo. as its heads will meet once a Th ear to exchange ideas, thrash out dif- all iculties and consider questions of corn- wf eon interest. The first conference took "tin lace in the capital, and the next one riv idll probably be held at Nanking, the of econd important city of the country, a v'hich has already supplied the repub- to ic with two of its presidents. ?n The High Normal Colleges each enoil from fiOO to 1,200 students, and ov ire laid out for the most part on the ke lan of American colleges, giving all re) he prescribed academic courses, and rymnasties of every sort. Special em- tr< ihasis is laid on boxing, an old Chi- cei lese science long neglected. Social ca lubs, cooperative stores, college banks ha ind student bands remind one of wt American universities. A nflmber of tn< he colleges also ocer the courses of wt in agricultural college and maintain nodel farms; others are equipped with ^ nachine shops and foundries. China is laying stress on education, so ind a visit to her High Normal Col- St eges offers a most reassuring promise cr< hat she is approaching a new indusrial and economic era thoroughly ca iquipped to meet its problems, W? ? mi mn xr Arri/\XT?a o sh ANGELUS FOR UNION th, Hi: It is very gratifying to note that etj he people of Union County and city ire awakening to the necessity of the ft Nation's Angelus." ku On June 18th, the Union Chamber ov if Commerce and Agriculture framed ind sent out to ministers of Union a tofifinn fnr +Via A nrrolno on/I i Ke vhich would bring Union in line with tj>ther progressive cities and towns of sh he United States. ne In accordance with this general to entiment and ladies auxiliary of the Jnion Chamber of Commerce and er \griculture which held its regular th nonthly meeting of Wednesday mom- j0 ng unanimously passed a resolution mi avoring an adoption of the Angelus m) ere as follows: That each evening fr( it 9 o'clock all lights be extinguished n< or a period of two minutes, during 8h vhich time we will salute the flag til ind offer silent prayer. sh Further endeavor along this line ha vill be made by the Auxiliary coop- gr rating with the Chamber of Com- m nerce and it is believed that in a gr ihort time custom will become popu- ra ar in every town and community. wl ESSAGE DELIVERED 1 TO SHIPWOKKERS < San Francisco, July 4.? (Corre- ; >ondence of the Asociated Press)? j [f you stand up to your job, we'll ake the kaiser take his medicine 1 ing down." j That was the message delivered to 1 le shipworkers here today by Churl- ' i M. Schwab, director general of < le Emergency Fleet Corporation, in i le first public speech he has de- > /ered since taking charge of the^t upbuilding program. M Mr. Schwab was speaking at the i idependcnce Day launching of s erchant ships here, which was part t the national program in which 1 obably a hundred ships?and possi- t y more?were being sent from the ays to the seas from yards all over s e country. - * "I venture to predict that the num- T r of ships launched today is the r eatest record of Iaunchings for a t rigle day in the history of the J arid," said Mr. Schwab. v "When the truth percolates to the:! irman people they will know thatlh eir leaders have deceived them; that j b mericans have their sleeves rolled up K d we have our fighting blood up;i at we are going to win this war if v takes the last man, the last ounce:!1 strength, the last resource and the f ?t dollar that his counry possesses. 11 "You and all the other shipbuilders j I ve dedicated your service to Anier- j ^ i. We stand firm, determined and |v afraid before the naked truth thatin s must defeat Germany or Ger- tl \ny will defeat us. Wars are not P >n altogether on the battlefield. ^ > not think for one minute that the ^ ussian generals are unmoved by " lat we are accomplishing. They ow that we launched a 5,000-ton d ip in 27 days from the time the f' el was laid over in Camden, N. J. P lat was a tremendous accomplish- -A ;nt never before approached in any tl untry and it was a blow in the face si Prussian confidence. Our enemy i> ows, too, that it is the workmen P er here who are making these si ings possible; that the men in the ipyards are working day and night si termined, untiring and enthusias- b ; that they are backing up the boys ti tVin fronnWoe Tho lro ion** !/????? +1 at with the united backing of A nerican workmen, American armies tl r? never be beaten. The fcredit for b nning this war will be shared ei ually by the workmen of America n d the fighters of America. The b 3t captains and colonels in our A ipbuilding army cannot build ship4 bi thbut the strong armies of the pri- ir tes, corporals and sergeants. The ii ater hoy today is a young hero who g serves a place alongside the drum- G ;r boy in that picture you have seen ir often?The Spirit of '70. lc 'Wo have a great army of workers ic ilding shins for the emergency, ci ere are .100.000 of us, and we are a: fighting for America. You men h 10 swing the cranes in charge of c< ? big guns. You who drive thejsj rets are operating the machine guns <1 the shipyard. Every man who does ir full day's work is doing his share win the war. The gangs at work a a ship are holding a trench and ii len they launch that ship they go si er the top. When they lay a new tl el they are digging in and making h idy for another long defense. tl "Every time we launch a cargo or s >op ship or tanker we add to the c rtainty that German submarines j fi nnot win this war. Alreadv we > ve the U-boats on the run and if c s keep up the pace we will havej beaten by next year. And when Is ; achieve this victory it will be you I :i ?o will deserve the credit. So far as v am concerned, and so far as Mr. v lrley is concerned, and I am sure, I far as the President of the United 11 ates is concerned, you will pet the 1; sdit. "Germany's only hope now, if it ( n be called a hope, is to win this ir by great military victories. Geriny knows that we are building ? ips and getting a real army across e Atlantic. The kaiser is making l i supreme effort now in the knowlge that America will soon be jrted and will stay in the war until j is won. If we complete our ship- t ilding program they will know f er in Germany that not a shred of pe remains. Can we complete it? r in we build these ships in time to r ep our bridge to France unbroken ? lat is a question for you men in the j ipyards to answer. America has j ver lost a war and she is not going r lose this one. j "Today we are building ships fast- f thaq the submarine can destroy j em. Meanwhile, our navy under f sephus Daniels is destroying subarines. The German hordes may r ake some advances on the western ont, but are we down-hearted ? j! Our army in France and our ipbuilding army at home are get- ^ lg into their full stride and we will ip them if it takes everything we ive. We must get the men and the { ins and the airships over. More and e ore men must go over, and more ins and rifles and motor trucks? ils, clothing and horses?but then hole job depends upon you, I for one,jl have every confidence that you will io the job and do it right. "Now you wonder naturally how /our work has counted. Let me tell yrou. In 1915 all the shipyards in America turned out 215,602 deadweight tons of shipping. The next /ear our output jumped to 520,847 ;ons. In 1917 the hot pace continued until we very nearly doubled the >utput of the previous year, completng a total of 901,222. We thought ve were building ships, with almost i million deadweight tons of finished vessels, but I am confident now that f we pull together and every man itays on the job, we will produce more ban 2,000,000 deadweight tons in [918?the greatest output of any union in the world in a single year. "I think that we can point with inme pride to May of this year, when ve not merely launched but comileted 262,000 tons of shipping? finer than was turned out in the enire year of 1915. Five years ago. if rou had been told that this country vould produce 268,000 tons of shin mii^ in ;i sinpio month, you would not ave believed it, but that is a mere ipp-inninor of tbt? task that lies beore you men in tbe shipyards. "There is one thine: that we need if .e hope to reach our maximum caacity of production and that is a riendly rivalry between the yards, have tried to encourage that because know that competition is dear to merican hearts and I know that you ill respond to a challenge. 'Now we re poinp to recopni 7.0 a shipyard hat surpasses all others in actual reduction each month. A blue flap hich this yard will be authorized to v on its fiapstaff will be a mark of ational recognition. It will be in the liipbuildinp field what an award for istinpuished service is on a battleeld. Red and white flaps will be resented for second and third place, ny yard which holds first place for iree consecutive months will have ipnal honors, for it will be authored to fly this championship blue ennant permanently from its flap taff. "Now there are many men in the hipyards who feel a sense of emurrassment because, with their counry at war and Liberty in danper, ley are not in the uniform of the rmy or the Navy. I want to say lat these men, if they are shipuilders, and belonp in the yards, are ntitled to just as much recopnition nd just as much honor as the brave nys on the sea or in the trenches, nd it "is to pive you shipyard workrs such recopnition that the Govemlent has determine*? upon the award lg or service badges to the men who ive four months' service to the overnment in the shipyards at buildig ships, and bars for additional mgth of service. With those serv:e badges you can walk through the rowds, meet the boys of the Navy nd the Army and hold your head igh. To sacrifice one's life for one's ountry is, of course, the. supreme icrifice, but in this war the highest uty is to serve where your governlent tells you to serve. "We are going to give special gold j nd silver medals for unusual service 1 the shipyards. We feel that there hould be some way of recognizing fie man who does a great thing for is country in war time. Great flings are being done today in the hipyards. Everyone of you has a hance to win honors in this great ght in the American shipyards gainst the submarines?a battle of (instruction against destruction. "There is nothing that I will not acrifice to help in winning this war, nd I know that there is nothing you ill not sacrifice. Put punch in your ork and we'll put over the program, f you stand up to your job, we'll lake the kaiser take his medicine ying down."
