JP ' I f -ill THE PRBSIDBNT ADDRESS (CoatkM^ From Pnc?dii| Pa|?) organised power always lying in wait to accomplish, we know not what purpose, there can be no assured security for the democratic governments of the world. The Caugo of Battle. "We are now about to accept gauge of battle with this natural foe to liberty and shall, if necessary, .spend the whole force of the nation to check and nullify its pretensions and its power. We are glad, now that we see the facts, with no veil of false pretense about them, to fight thus for the ultimate peace of .the world and for the liberation of its peoples, the German peoples included; for the rights of nations great and small and the privilege of men everywhere to choose their way of life and of obedience. The world must be made safe for democracy. Its peace must be planted upon the trusted foundations of political liberty. "We have no selfish ends to serve. We desire no conquest, no dominion. We seek no indemnities for ourselves, no material compensation for the sacrifices we shall freely make. We are but one of the champions of the rights of mankind. We shall bo satisfied when those rights have been made as secure as the faith and the freedom of the nations can make them. "Just because we fight without rancor and without selfish objects, seeking nothing for ourselves, but what we shall wish to share with all free people, we shall, I feel confident, conduct our operations as belligerents without passion and ourselves observe with proud punctilio the principles of right and of fair play we profess to be fighting for. "I have said nothing of the governments allied with the Imperinl government of Germany because they have not made war upon or challenged us to defend our rights and our A 4. II.. 2 iiuuur. a utr /lusiru-nuii^urittii Kuv* erament has, indeed, avowed its unqualified endorsement and acceptance of the reckless and lawless submarine warfare adopted now without disguise by the Imperial German government and it has, therefore, not been possible for this government to receive Count Tarnowski, the ambassador recently accredited to this government, by the imperial and royal government of Austria-Hungary, but that government has not actually engaged in warfare against citizens of the United States on the seas, and I take the liberty, for the present at least, of postponing a discussion of our relations with the authorities at Vienna. We enter this war only where we are clearly forced into it because there afrc no other means of defending our rights. Act Without Animus. "It will be all the easier for us to conduct ourselves as belligerents in a high spirit of right and fairness because we act without animus, not in enmity towards a people or with the k_: i_i ? j: 1 ucoac tu ui iu^ uuy injury ur uisuuvantage upon them but only in armed opposition to an irresponsible govern - ment which has thrown aside all considerations of humanity and of right and is running amuck. "We are, let me say, again the sincere friends of the German people, and shall desire nothing so much as the early re-establishment of intimate relations of mutual advantage between us?however hard it may be forthem, for the time being, to believe that this is spoken from our hearts. We have borne w.ith their present government through all the bitter months because of that friendship?exercising a patience and forbearance which would otherwise have been impossible. We shall happily, still have an opportunity to prove that friendship in our daily attitude and actions toward the millions of men and women of German birth and native sympathy who live amongst us and share our life and we shall be proud to prove it towards all who are in fact loyal to their neighbors and to the government in the hour of test. They are, most of them, as true and loval Americana na if thev Vinrl never ??? ? ?? - known any other fealty or allegiance. ??They will be prompt to stand with us in rebuking and restraining the few who may be of a different mind and purpose. "If there should be disloyalty it will be dealt with with a firm hand of stern repression, but if it lifts its head at all, it will lift it only here and there and without countenance except from a lawless and malignant few. "It is a distressing and oppressive duty, gentlemen of the Congress, which I have performed in thus ad-j dressing you. There are, it may be,, many months of fiery trial and sacrifice ahead of us. It is a fearful thing | to lead this great peaceful people into war, into the most terrible and disastrous of all wars, civilization itself seeming to be in the balance. 'But the right is more precious than peace, and we shall fight for the things which we have always carried Msi^kour hearts?for democracy, fa* fBright of those who submit to atrikj^B* to have a voice in their owtl^Hparnment, for the rights and libera#* of small nations for a univereal dominion of right by such a concert of free people as shall bring poace and safety to all nations and make the world itself at last free. "To such a task we can dedicate our lives and our fortunes, everything that we are and everything that w* have, with the pride of those who knew that the day has come when America is privileged to spend her blood and her might for the principles that gave her birth and happinpes and , Ihe peace which ihc hu treuurcd.

Distinguished by the chestnut crown, black line through eye, and black bill. Range: Breeds throughout the United States, south to Nicaragua, and north to southern Canada; winters in the southern United States and southward. Habits and economic statna- Tti? chipping sparrow is very friendly and domestic, and often builds itB nest in gardens and orchards or in the shrubbery close to dwellings. Its gentle and confiding ways endear it to all bird lovers. It is one of the most insectivorous of all the sparrows. Its diet consists of about 42 per cent of insects and spiders and 68 per cent of vegetable matter. The animal food consists largely of caterpillars, of which it feeds a great many to its young. Besides these, it eats beetles, including many weevils, of which one stomach contained 30. It also cats ants, wasps, and bugs. Among the latter are plant lice and black olive scales. The vegetable food is practically all weed seed. A nest with four young of this species was watched at different hours on four days. In the seven hours of observation 119 feedings were noted, or an average of 17 feedings per hour, or four and one-fourth feedings pe? hour to each nestling. This would givo for a day of 14 hours at least 238 Insects eaten by the brood. ENGLISH SPARROW I Ptuer dometticus Length, about six and one-fourth j inches. Its Incessant chattering, quar- j relsome disposition, and abundance j and familiarity about human habitations distinguish it from our native ' i sparrows. Range: Resident throughout the United States and southern Canada. Habits and economic status: Al- : most universally condemned since its introduction into the United States, the English sparrow has not only held its own, but has ever Increased in (j numbers and extended its range in spite of all opposition. Its habit of driving out or even killing more bene- t ticlal species and the defiling of build- 3 ings by its droppings and by its own t unsightly structures, are serious objections to this sparrow. Moreover, in rural districts, it is destructive to k grain, peas, beans, and other vogetables. On the other hand, the bird feeds to some extent on a large num- 3 ber of insect pests, and this fact points g to the need of a new investigation of me present economic status or the species, especially as it promises to be of v service in holding in check the newly c introduced alfalfa weevil, which threat- j ens the alfalfa industry in Utah and neighboring states. In cities most of the food of the English sparrow is .waste material secured from the .areets. t h SAYS MANY NEGROES 1 ARE READY TO SERVE. ^ h Charleston, April 8?Thomns E. ^ Miller, former president of the State j Negro college, has addressed a letter c to President ^ilson and Gov. Man- v ning offering to organize 30,000 ^ South Carolina negroes for active 3 service in the army and navy. In his letter he emphasizes the loyalty of the negroes as Americans.

I; SANITARY MEASURES ARE ALL IMPORTANT IN THE CONTROL OF ALL PLANT DISEASES Clemson College, S. C.?Where proi per precautions are taken It Is much i easier to prevent an Infectious disease than It Is to cure it. This Is i especially true of plant diseases J Plai't tissues once Infected with a paasltic organism cannot be cured. The diseased part might be removed and part of the plant saved, but the tissues already affected cannot, as a rule, be <"Vired. The only practical method, then, of controlling plant diseases is l?y prevention. With plant discuses au well aa with infectious disease of raan and the lower animals, enniairy measures are our pricipal D?U" of prevention. If a certain disease is to be checked, nil sources of infection should be removed a id It is always the old diseased parks that serve as the main souv .e of yjfoction. It is from these thai the disease spreads to healthy plants. Too first Kmc that tomato wilt for instance, occurs In any placo, the f-lnnts attacked should he removes and lestroyed. The same applies to tho diseases of cabbage, turnips, lertuce and ether garden crops. "Pull and burn" all diseased plants should be the motto wherever any plant disease occurs i'or the first time. This is the simplest and surest method or getting rid of all sources of inl -ct'on. This also applies to many df eases which have become established. It Is even possible to entirely get rid of a disease where it has been present for some time by burning all of the diseased parts. With certain soil diseases like tomato V'iit. eOttOll Will ivulsr.mnlAn wilt, etc.. It is not only important that U\? diseased plants be destroyed, but LOOK OUT FOR THE FIFTH YEAR "I have written my new story ' The Turning Point,' says Cosmo Hamilton, famous English author and j playwrite, "for the young husbands and wives of America, and 1 hope all young husbands and wives will read it." Mr. Hamilton is now over in this country looking after the production of some of his new plays, having received special furlough from army luty for this purpose. With his days he brought several short stories for the American public, one of which "The Turning Point," is to appear his month .n Hearst's Magazine. Mr. Hamilton himself is parf icularly mterested in this story because it is not entirely fiction but deals with >nc of the real problems of the age ?marriage and divorce. "I am hurling this story out like a hand grenade," says Mr. Hamilton, 'and I hope it bursts." It is the story of a yoilng husband who in the fifth year of marriage suddenly onies up against one of natures lander spots. He is a very decent fellow?kind, Renerous, lovinR and loyal. His wife is a charming jrirl, beautiful and inspired to motherhood. Yet they come to the very ' dRe of separation and divorce. Il takes a staRRerinR surprise to open the man's eyes to his one Rlarie.tr fault, which is the cause of it all? a fault, incidentally, which Mr. Ham ilton believes is very common anion}? husbands.

Trenton, Ga.?Mis. Cllie Gilford, cf Ibis place, writes: "I have always suffered'. . . but was w orse after marriage. I would have . . . painsand misery in my stomach and hips. I would have a bad sick Headache every time, which would generally last two days. I hod always heard what a good medicine Cardui was, so I thought I would try it. I used two bottles and it helped mc. Pi:.ecu mouths later I began to be nervous and was worse at my . . . But r.t these times I did not have any pain and do not now suffer any pain. But I was very nervous, so nervous that i:y hands would shake. Any noise would make mc jump. So I took two more bottles of Cardui. I have never been nervous since . . . and do not have any pain. I think this if all due to Cardui and Black-Draught." Cardui, the woman's tonic, is composed only of pure, vegetable ingredients, which have been rocognized for many years by itandar.1 medical books as of medicinal value, in the treatment of many diseases peculiar to women.
