EXPERT IS HERE TO URGE FIGHT
ON BARBERRIES!
Governor Issues Proclamation I
Against Spread of Destructive Plant. ' ,
R. J. Hosmer, as Blatant pathologist of the United State department of
agriculture, bureau of plant Industry,
was In Richmond today In the inter
est of the barberry survey, about
which Governor James P. Goodrich
baa Issued a proclamation.
Hosmer will be back la the city in
about two weeks to continue his work here and in the county. He said to
day that considerable black stem rust Infection' had been noted near here, which infection should be cured and the spread stopped as soon as possible. "Destroy the barberry and stop the rust,' is our slogan," said Hosmer, "and to sere our wheat sad other
j grain this must be done."; The governor's proclamation follows
In Tlew of the fact that It 1b just i as Important now as during the war to conserve food and protect the grain
crop from all preventable losses, the
I attention of the people of Indiana is loaned to the following facts relative
to the barberry eradication campaign 1 saw being conducted In this state by fthe United States Department of Ag

berry, the vulgaris and purple, which i harbor one stage of the black rust

Be It as it is that brides are stepping
out into a veritable desert of filled houses in this city, where very few
rentable oases are In sight, there is.
at the same time more spirit of Jme and brides in the air than has been scented since 1914. While America did not curb the pleasures of life as early as that, expensive weddings began to wane then, not to return until now.
But June, 1919: This i3 the sum
mer of summers according to all per
sons who are helping the brides get
ready.
Merchants' Busy Season Wherever the bride and groom have
been fortunate enough to secure a house or apartment they are indulging
in furnishing it with all joys of the season as well as the necessities. Furniture, carpets and hardware stores Bay they have never had such a season. All the newly-to-be-weds of this
year and a good many of those who were married during the war, but did
not deem it patriotic to spend money
on the houses while it lasted, are
going in strong" for all there is to
make a house fascinating, they say.
Pans, skillets, brooms, kitchen cab
inets, stoves and ice chests are.
strange to say, one of the first
thoughts. Most of the men coming home from the service are keen about cleanliness and food, and they are being humored to the last iota.
Walnut Most Popular Wood In house furnishings soft colors, dull
tones furniture and rich rugs are hold
ing unquestioned sway. American
walnut is the most popular wood tor dining room, living room and bed
room suites. Queen Anne and Louis
XVI are the dominating decades, al
though some William and Mary and some Adam furniture is used. The Chippendale, which exceeds walnut somewhat in price, is preferred by a few people, it is Bald, but ivory is overwhelmingly popular. Floor lamps, library table lamps, piano lamps, bed room lamps, and numerous other kinds are being "rushed" this season. A local dealer explained that he had sold as many as nine lamps to one bride, and that she was only moving into an apartment. Cedar chests are coming into their own more and more and are one of the most popular bride's gifts of the season. Scarcely a bride starts out without one nowadays, 'tis said, but in most cases it is a present rather than the bride" purchase. Draperies are still elite with dainty sheer curtains. "Unobtrusive" Alarm Clocks. Silver chests, clocks, vases, table linen and the long line of former and lasting necessities of the bride's home are showing their predominance a3 usual. Along with chime clocks most brides are buying an alarm clock. Alarm clocks can be very unobtrusive and nice looking when not actually engaged In waking a sleeper, it is said.
For the bride herself, young but ma
ture with war work and interest in things of the world at large, things
are prettier than ever before. Lovely
blouses of orchid, sunset, bisque and
the line of older shades are here. The shops are overflowing with dainty fig
ured volls, and georgettes; with etheral white brides' dresses, and hand
some coats and suits. In fact suits seem to be even more popular as June nears. .The brides who are to honeymoon in some distant state are buying oxford or Russian blouse suits, serviceable hats, slickers, oxfords, shoes, summer furs, umbrellettes, which serve for sun and rain, and feel prepared for friend or foe; only every one smiles on a bride, of course. Motor Trips the Thing. Motor trips are Quite the thing, and
many a bride has bought a mixed coat and snug-fitting auto cap of gay shade and having eye shading attributes. Along with the motor trip is the motor. Never more popular; never more attractive, sleek, and fast, it is with us. . The Pekln blue silk sweaters, salmon and rose in both silk and fiber, are holding sway especially for the lake or seashore. Many sweaters have the new tuxedo front. In fact the June bride of 1919 is exceedingly lucky in years, exceedingly favored by shop keepers, and from all appearances exceedingly happy. Especially so after she has visited any one of the local jewelers where all sorts of attractive articles are offered her.
Bids For Sewer Pipe Held For Consideration By Board Bids were received by the board of works at its regular meeting this morning, from three local firms, to supply the city with sewer pipe in car load lots. All of the bids were held for further consideration by the board, and no contract for the pipe was let.
HUMAN FLY WILL
CLIMB WESTCOTT
Sergeant George O. Polley, a human
fly who does not claim to be a freak,
but who performs feats of climbing
with skill, an all round athlete, hold
ing the South Atlantic record in hurdling, will climb the Westcott hotel
Friday evening at 7:15 o'clock.' Pol
ley, while climbing the building,
amuses the audience by giving humor
ous accounts of his experiences in the service. He hangs by his elbow, two fingers and stands on his head. Polley Is 22 years old. He was in the service seven months, entering as a private at Camp Lee, Va. While in the service he was recommended for his work as an instructor in wall scaling in the infantry , for observation purposes. He was overseas 11 days and was' only recently discharged.

He will give an exhibition on Satyrday night. The site has not yet been selected.
Honorable Discharges
For Draft Board Members Will Be Received Soon Honorable discharges, in apprecia
tion of their services In the world war,
and bearing the signature of Governor
James Goodrich, will be received by
members of the Wayne county draft board within a few days, according to announcement by Sheriff Clement V. Carr, former head of the board, Thursday.
The sheriff is already in receipt of
an order of discharge and a letter expressing appreciation of the board's work, from E. H. Crowder, provost
marshal general.
The four members of the board who
will receive the diachrages will be the
sherirx, M. w. Kelly, formerly county clerk and clerk of the board. Dr. J. M. Bulla, and Walter Butler, the board's attorney. The letter from
Crowder follows:
To Members of all Selective Serv-
ive Boards:
The president has directed that all
boards of the selective service sys
tem be discontinued; that all members thereof be honorably relieved from the duties of their respective of
fices effective March 31, 1919; and that a certificate of service be issued
to members relieved from duty by the
order mentioned. A copy of this or
der is enclosed. A suitable certificate of service, countersigned by the governor of your state, will be transmit
ted to you at a later date.
'The selective service organization
is dissolved. This is my last official
communication to its members. Two years ago today, the congress declared
state of war to exist with the im
perial German government, America's
army was but a handfuL The plan to
raise it to the proper strength was un-
choate and uncertain. Today the war is won and an army of four million Is already half demobilized.
'You have performed a stupendous
task; you have performed it loyally, unselfishly and well. But you have done more. You have the ground
work for a new ideal in democracy.
You have taught and shown the value and the possibilities of sympathetic
and the possibilities of sympathetic and understanding co-operation. You
have discovered and vindicated a new
altruism; you have crystallized an ideal and made of it a system.
In these closing words, I add my
heartfelt praise to the grateful thanks of America.
"E. H. CROWDER, "Provost Marshal General."

That "White M o u n t a In" principles spare not a single contributing element In the production o f true quality, is strongly evidenced in its perf e c t Ion of the Solid End. The tongue and groove "welding," the exterior invisible blending of the different sec t i o n s, as
well as the uny I e lding
strength of the complete case In running exterior tongue and grove opposite to a similar joining of the inner walls, produce perfection. The "glass-smooth," highly finished surface of the Solid End offers no possible lodging place for dust and various unsanitary accumulations; it is rather strictly in keeping with the hard, smooth and gleaming walls of the provision compartment. The unyielding strength of the Solid End Is guaranteed without the slightest reservation. In eliminating the thin panel from the ends, strength ia not only increased many, many times, but insulation is at least doubled, and the extra cost of manufacture doubly justified. So skillfully is the blending of the various sections accomplished, that the solid wood Itself Is guaranteed to break before It Is possible to separate a single section at the tongue and groove.

"The Chest wtth the Chill In It" have become the preferred favorite among thrifty housewiTes. Many instances are known where a White Mountain has reduced ice bills nearly one-half.
