CUNION LABEL SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 1917. TIME FOR ACTION most unfortunate that a controversy should have arisen among the officials. of the Shipping Board as to the advisability of constructing wooden freight ships.

one moment ought be lost in any controversy over the de respective merits of steel and wooden ships. It is far more important at this time to build ships quickly than to save money. We make no claim whatever to any knowledge of ship building. and as to whether or not it is possible or practicable to build a fleet of wooden vessels. But we do know that there is a crying need for ocean going vessels and thatithe outcome of the war will in all likelihood depend upon our ability to butte sufficient tonnage ships to offset the difference between the amount sunk by German submarines and what our allies can build.

And knowing this we cannot but regret any controversy which is likely to in any wise interfere with the greatest possible speed in the building of the greatest number of ships it is possible for our industrial resources to turn out. It seems to us that far rather thin have any controversy about the respective merits offthe two types, it would be far better to proceed to build as many of both as humanly possible, the building of the one type not interfering to any extent with the building of the other. If it appears that the wooden type is not practicable it will appeal just as soon has been tried, and if 11 results in the waste of a few millions of dollars it is money far better and more wisely spent than the millions the government has for years wasted in. pork barrel appropriations. We do not wish to waste one cent of the moneys to be raised for use in this ward But far more important is our success in it than the comparatively few millions that would be wasted wooden vessels turned out to be of no consequence.

The most important thing the whole war is the overcoming of the submarine. That can be a accomplished in one of two ways. By hunting them down and destroying them. or by building sufficient vessels 10 offset those sunk by the submarines. The first is the better, of course.

But we cannot afford to rely on it until it has actually rid the ocean of the submaTine. The second we can do if we will concentrate our resources on it. By all means must we: do so until such time at least as the submarine has been put out of business. The need for shipping is desperate and permits of desperate remedies. The mere opinion of no man ought to interfere with the building of any kind of ships until practical experience has demonstrated their uselessness.

We are in a nosition where we must take. a chance, and if it costs us a few millions of dollars. why it has cost us that, and that is all to be said about it THE FOOD SUPPLY QUESTION Herbert Hoover made a report to the government Thursday- in which he set forth that the United States must stand the brunt of supplying our allies with the food necessary to maintain their great armies as well as to keep alive and efficient the families of the fighters and the great industrial armies at home. France and England are fighting our battle in Europe, The better able they are to fight the less of the burden will be thrown upon From a purely selfish standpoint therefore it is necessary that we see to it that they are properly supplied with food. without which they cannot continue, The amount of this food that we must send to Europe is enormous.

Mr. Hoover positively asserts that oun ronsumption of foodstuffs must be' materially reduced if we are to be able to supply our allies with the needed amount. He points. out two metnods of reducing consumption--elimination of waste and restricting our diet by substitution and less but wiser eating. Mr.

Hoover is the one man in the United States charged with the duty of regulating the food supply. He is undoubtedly in possession of the facts which make absolutely certain the correctness of his statements. We may assume therefore that what he says is positively correct. This situation then presents itself: There must be great saving of foodstuffs on the part of the people of the United States or our allies will not be able to continue to aid us in fighting Germany. This must equally as certain as Mr.

Hoover's direct statements. Naturally the average man when apprised of such a condition would cast about first for means of saving foodstuffs that are now wasted. He would investigate all the purposes for which grain is used, and every time he discovered a use to which it is put which amounts, to a waste, he would stop that use and proceed with his until he found a similar one. Any sane business man would do this if he found that his supply of needed materials would not be sufficient to enable him to continue as usual. Applying this to the foodstuff question.

the average man would first find that in the manufacture of intoxicating liquors there is used sufficient foodstuffs every year to feed 7.000,000 men. Would there be any doubt in his mind of the advisability of stopping this waste? This is enough to feed the English and French armies, and more. Congress knows these facts. It knows that there must be a great reduction in consumption of foodstuffs. It knows, for the figures were presented to it, that the foodstuffs used in the manufacture of useless strong drink will feed 7,000,000 men for a year.

Can it refuse to pass a law forbidding the use of foodstuffs in booze and be doing its duty by the people of the United States? From Other Viewpoints A HOT TIP FOR CHICAGO (American Issue.) Denver "lost" the revenue from all its saloons when the state went dry and the gloom chorus mourned mightily in accents fiscal, for the Denver treasury had been long familiar with annual deficits. Denver, dry one year, found the tax rate reduced 13 per special improvements of $112,000 paid and a surplus of $135,000 good hard cash banked up where only emptiness had reigned. Two hundred of Chicago's more than 5,000 saloons have closed voluntarily, whereby the Windy city will "lose" almost 4 per cent of its revenue from the retail liquor licenses, and the rnance committee is throwing fits of alarm. If the committee can be soothed long enough to listen to this, It may do them good: Mayor Speed, of Denver, voted against Prohibition. After his city's experience, he says: The success of no city depends upon the sale of liquor.

Denver today is better off. than it was when saloons were running. Denver's experience is not uniqueactually, it is highly typical. Chicago will wake up some day to realize that it is poor business for the city to encourage its citizens to waste $110.000.000 annually through the saIons in order to make the saloons pay $5,000.000 or SO to the city treasury. The saloon is the most unprofitable collector.

of public revenue ever devised. NOT HANDICAPPED BY FLAT FEET (From the Kansas City Star) care must be taken, of course. in the selecting of men for the army 111 order that the soldiers shall be fit for the hardships of war: but there are instances of rather ludicrous applications of general rules to particular cases in rejecting applicants. In St. Louis, for example.

a strapping youth from Illinois was rejected because he had flat feet, the unalterable presumption in the army regulations being that the man who has flat feet will fail in the march. Yet this same youth had walked 65 miles to offer his services to Uncle Sam. This recalls a similar incident at a recruiting station 111 Kansas City, when applicants avere under consideration for the Spanish- American. war. A husky young man presented himself for service.

but was rejected after a rather superficial examination, much to his. surprise. What's the matter with me?" he asked. You have flat said the recruiting officer. What's that got to do with it You can't The hell I can't.

I can walk down any man you rot." What's your "Track walker for. the Santa Fe." Nevertheless the track walker was rejected because the presumption was that he couldn't walk. All of which suggests that when a man has demonstrated that he has risen superior to a handicap he should be rendered immune to the rules concerning the handicap. IN THIS FIGHT FOR AMERICA (From the New York Herald) In his address to the Club of the Interior Department Monday, biome Secretary Lane told why this nation is at war. and in a way that every person who thinks, American thoughts can understand.

Secretary Lane's statement of the American case is clear, concise. convincing. It is to be hoped thet his will be the last official word on the subject, for no other is needed. We have had entirely too much talk about civilization and humanity in the abstract. Of course, the basic issue of this war is between world freedom and a despotism buttressed by savagery: we all understand that, and our sympathies with freedom.

wherever it is found or is to find itself. But the despotism which set out to crush liberty in Europe had marked this country as its next victim. We are fighting for the existence of the United States. We now know that the onslaught of Germany France was intended only as a first step in the conquest of the world. DEATHS BURIALS MRS.

BESSIE E. WITMER His sobriquet was "little man," and because of that little Jerry Crosby considered himself a much larger one than his short eight years of life would grant. His small library boys' stories was his pride. He found pleasure each night in listening 10 mother's reading of the thrilling experiences of boy hunters and their daring encounters with wild animals. 'Huh he would say, "Lots of boys kill bears: don't see the pictures 1 in my books?" only pictures." his moher would reply.

Andy is big; could kill animals." This petted child had corrected often, and at such times was sent into another room to think the matter over. On one of these occasions he left his supper unfinished and stole away into the parlor and cuddled in father's arm chair by the window, with great deeds in his mind, that he and his chum Andy would some day accomplish. The sun was almost out of sight. Jerry was grieved and tears began to flow. But felt SO sure that he would be a hero and that he wasn't even afraid of the dark as it slowly came.

"Why Andy." he cried. for there at the window he saw his playmate. "Come on. Jerry," he said, "I'll show you- the shack in the woods and perhaps we'll kill a bear." The window was raised and soon the boys were going arm in arm along JERRY'S BEAR (MORNING STORY) the winding path. Finally their footsteps lagged: and, from exhaustion, sank on the ground.

The stars out, there was 110 sound the rustle of the leaves and the flutter of an uneasy bird near them. "Who's afraid? still thought Jerry. but he was very close to Andy. He began to feel hungry and remembered his -eaten supper, and besides, it was cold. He raised his head and looked about him.

He didn't offer to bite me. So we won't kill him." Andy Casey groaned in fear. wish I was home." he said between chattering teeth. "And SO d'- do groaned the other, "for I want mamma to tuck me in my own bed and hear me say my prayers." The bear still crowded and the boy called for "Mother." "What's the matter, little son," came in a cheery voice near him. Wake up! you are dreaming.

Don't you see poor in your chair trying to make friends with you?" The boy opened his eyes and looked about him. He was there in father's arm chair just where he had hidden himself, but his pet Newfoundland had soon found him. The woman smiled as she listened to her son's experience in hunting. Just before retiring she asked, shall read you tonight, son?" "I'd rather hear you sing he -Boston Post. COMPEERS By Mary Garrigan Barry Red blood, or blue blood, it's all the same today.

LECTURE ON "THE NEW NEGRO" "The New Negro" was the title of a lecture given last evening in Faith Presbyterian church by William Pickens. dean of Morgan college, Baltimore. Dr. Pickens was graduated from Yale with the highest honors of his class and won the Phi Beta Kappa Key and the Ten Eyck orations.

He was introduced by Attorney Robert C. Fluhrer, of the Yale Alumni association of York. Instrumental selections by the Misses Rose Mead and Landis, and a vocal seGeorgie Laurenceste and Miss Elizabeth lection by Mrs. Johanna Harris were numbers on the program. A silver offering was lifted for the benefit of the Community House.

Free Ottemiller, Richard Arnold, Richard Webster. Joe Kindig. Frank Smyser, Belden Briggs, Beitzel Brillinger, Norman Cunningham. and Houston Schlosser. Brunner represented the faculty.

It is right to be contented with what we have but never with what we are. That this country not selected as the earliest victim was due only to the fact that the assassination of the Austrian Crown Prince was a more convenient issue on which to wage war than the question of bursting the Monroe Doctrine through aggression in Haiti. We believe that America--what it is and what it stands essential to the reservation on this earth of civilization, and, therefore, we fight for civilization. But first and last and all the time we fight for America. For the Next Five Days we will trade in a limited number of phonographs in exchange on pianos.

The pea aphis is one of the most destructive of all garden insects. It is sometimes called the green louse and is readily recognised as it is the largest insect that attacks the pea and related plants.

lea Your near pea sweet patch peas should or red not for be crimson locatclover as the flowers of these plants are common breeding places of this The plant lice gather in clusters under the leaves and in the leaf buds and if allowed to remain they multiply so rapidly that in tiro or three weeks the whole crop is attacked. The insect sucks the life sap of the plant. The ordipary poison sprays are not effective against It, but a spray of kerosene soap emulsion, (soap and oil mixed) diluted with 12 parts water and sprayed so that both the top and under- of the leaves are wet, will kill these winged lice. The most practicable method home gardner. however, is to jar the insects from the with vines in littie pans conwater a floating kerosene.

This pan can be pulled along the ground under the vines. If the aphis attacks your pea crop this year be sure to plant some other vegetable in the same plot next season. When the last picking has been made the infested plants should be destroyed. Peas are also sometimes attacked by powdery mildew, which covers the whole plant with a powdery white growth. Pulverized sulphur dusted on will check this disease, while bordeaux spray is also effectve.

SPRAYING POTATOES The increased acreage of potatoes in York county as well as in other parts of the state this year. makes spraying especially desirable and valuable. It is very necessary that we should try to prevent the losses of former years due to blight and insects. The early blight is already appearing in some sections. The black flea beetles are also very numerous.

Spraying should begin when the stalks are four or five inches high, and one application made every two weeks thereafter. Use Bordeaux mixture and add Paris green or arsenate of lead for insects. Pyrox or kiltone or any other good commercial preparation may also be used as a substitute. Better results can generally be produced by the use of Bordeaux, while commercial preparations are often more convenient to use, although they will be found to be somewhat more expensive. Applications should be very thorough.

To do this a machine with at least two nozzles should be used so that both sides of the leaf can be completely covered. It has been proved by many experiment stations that spraying not only combats early and late blight and kills insects, but that it also increases yield by producing a more vigorous growth and stimulating tuber formation. When the young plants are attacked by the flea beetles, as they have been found this year. they are much more susceptible to blight. This is due to the fact that the blight fungus can enter the tissues much more easily through the holes produced by beetles.

Spray mixtures should be applied every two weeks. If this is done regardless of conditions there will be less chance any damage to the potato crop and a greater possibility of increased profits from spraying. Any further details may be had by consulting the Farm Bureau at the court house, York, Pa. G. G.
