‘BERRY’BLIGHTS
AIRED IN SENATE
•
Senator Harrison Scores the ‘New
berry”, Menace Along With
Barberry
BY RICHARD LINTHICUM.
WASHINGTON, April 26.—Sen
ator Pat Harrison, the able, eloquent
and always good-natured junior sen
ator from Mississippi, does not pose
as an authority on animal and plant
diseases, but it is rarely the senate
has senate has been so highly enter
tained and informed as by his recent
scientific discussion of this subject
when the agricultural department
appropriations were under considera
tion. The senator passed over such
pests as scabies, cattle tick, hog
cholera, hoof and mouth disease,
gypsy and (brown tail moths, white
pine blisters, boll weevils, boll worms,
bean beetles, citrus canker, Hessian
flies, chinch bugs, and grasshoppers,
and cencentrated his attack upon the
latest dreaded menace to agriculture
—the barberry bush.
On the subject of berries the sen
ator was entirely at home. The bar
berry bush, he informed the senate,
seems to thrive and prevail in the
localities represented by the junior
senator from Minnesota, (Mr. Kel
logg,) the senior senator from Mich
igan (Mr. Townsend) and in Wiscon
sin, represented in part by Mr. Len
root.
Expressing full sympathy with the
wheat growers of the Middle West
whose crops are menaced by the rust
spores of the barberry bush, Senator
Harrison pointed out that the bar
berry bush is not the only berry that
is a pest or threatens to menace the
country.
“Great as is the injury that may
be wrought by the barberry!” He
said, “it isn’t to me compared with
some other pests or, may I say, dis
eases by the name of ‘berry.’ You
known what I mean. I can see the
smiles on your countenances when
I mention ‘berry’ pests. Sirs, when
we talk about the danger of the berry
pest the people will not think of ‘bar
berry’ bushes; they will think of
‘Newberry’ bushes, a term taken
from ‘Newberryism,’ meaning the
plungering of the people by the pur
chase of power.”
Widespread Plight.
Stating that he was going to voto
for the increased appropriation to
eradicate the barberry bush, he said
that if some of the senators who had
spoken in behalf p's the appropriation
had shfiwn their zeal in trying to
eradicate the other berry pest that is
not applicable to a few states alone,
but that reaches from Maine to the
State of Washington, that not only
blights and destroys the wheat but
affects the ambitions of the young
boy, destroys the high ideals of the
people and removes the last vestage
of justice and equal opportunity—
Newberryism—they would have ren
dered a greater service to more peo
ple in a larger section of the coun
try.”
The senator explained that ‘New
berryism’ distributes its spores in a
similar manner to the barberry, only
that they are not called frust spores.
“In New York,” he said, “the
spores that emenate from it might
be termed ‘Calder’ spores, or those
from Newfberyium in Massachusetts
■ Collecting costly snuff boxes was
once a fashionable fad in England.
To see a rabbit brings ill luck in
the belief of Scottish fishermen.
Women Neeed Swamp-Root.
Thousands of women have kidney
and bladder trouble and never sus
pect it.
Women’s complaints often prove to
be nothing else but kidney trouble,
or the result of kidney or bladder
disease.
If the kidneys arc not in a healthy
condition, they may 'cause the other
organs to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss
of ambition, nervousness, are often
times symptoms of kidney trouble.
Don’t delay starting treatment. Dr.
Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, a physician’s
prescription, obtained at any drug
store, may be just the remedy need
ed to overcome such conditions.
Get a medium or large size bottle
immediately from any drug store.
However, if you wish first to test
this great preparation send ten cents
to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghampton,
N. Y., for a sample bottle. When
writing be sure .and mention this pa
per.— (adv.)

might be called ‘Lodge’ spores, or
those from Michigan might be called
‘Townsend’ spores, or in Minnesota
‘Kellogg’ spores. I failed to specifi
cally mention Ohio, where certain
spores from Newberryism would be
termed rust spores but change their
name to “Willis’ spores there.”
Senator Harrison closed with a
plea that when Newberryism next
shows its menacing head in the sen
ate that his colleagues will show the
same zeal to eradicate it that they
have shown to eliminate barberryism.
“Hardingize, ’ a New Word.
The verb “to Hardingize” is the
most recent addition io the political
vocabulary and may f.nd a permanent
place in the dictionary. It is contrib
uted by Senator Thaddeus H. Cara
way, the incisive and eloquent Demo
cratic senator from Arkansas, who
carries a lancet in his tongue and
wields a shining rapier of eloquence
with which he punctures and pierces
the shams, the hypocrisies and the
wrong-doing of the administration
and political opponents.
Senator Caraway credits the Re
ppublican administration with coining
the words “Newberryize” and “Hard
ingize,” but the senator himself fur
nishes the definitions.
“Newberryizing” as defined by the
senator means to buy a seat in the
United States senate.
“Hardingicing,” according to Sena
tor Caraway, is susceptible of many
definitions. As stated byg him they

• (c) To buy a $45,000 launch, but
let the boys who were sent across the
sea to preserve the liberty of the
world beg for second-hand clothes to

The king of England has dispensed
with his launch. The president of
the French republic does not maintain
a private yacht. The queen of the
British Empire has reduced her bill
for dresses to $1,500 a year, which
she is J forced to spend for court
dresses.)
(d) To furlough, among others, a
navy yard employee, in an arbitra

missed, or reduced in rank or pay.
For the purpose of accuracy and
the record, it should be stated that
the word Hardingize” was coined by
Elmer Dover, former secretary to
Mark Hanna, and is more or less syn
onymous with “Hannaism.”

MRS. PARKER HONORED
ON LEAVING AUGUSTA.
One of the loveliest socials ever
given for the Mothers’ class of St.
John’s Sunday school was on Thurs
day afternoon in the ladies parlor, by
Mrs. Hal Armentrout and Mrs. Harry
Wilson, who, in their own hospitable
way, turned the afternoon into some
what of a “go-away party,” for Mrs.
Roy Parker, who, to the regret of
the whole class as well as her many
friends, will leave with her family in
a few days to make her home in
Americus, Ga. An attractive pro
gram was arranged by Mrs. Ruther
ford, as follows: .
*A recitation—“ The Menagerie Duet”
—by Irene Walker.
Solo —“Mighty Lak-a-Rose
Mrs. Edward Clark
Recitation—“ Where the Baby Came
From” Mildred Walker
Solo—“ Selected”
Mrs. Kreps, accompanied by Mrs.
Moran.
After this, cards were passed, with
the name “Fannie Lou Parker” writ
ten across the top in gold, and each
guest was to try and spell the great
est number of words out of this
name. The booby, a set of spelling
blocks, fell to Mrs. Keener. Master
Hal Armentrout, Jr., very cunningly
acting as postman, suddenly blew
a whistle and came in with a parcel
post and letters from each of the
class for Mrs. Parker. The pack
age, containing a piece of cut glass,
presented from teh class as a token
of love and regard in which she is
held. The letters all addressed and
sealed and not to be opened until
she reaches her new home.
The colors pink and white were
most attractively used in the flowers
which were sweet peas and also the
delicious ice cream and white cakes
decorated with the letter *P” in pink
icing.
It is with sincere regret that the
class will lose such a good worker,
and in every way a most attractive
member the good wishes of
eac hmember will follow her to her
new home.—Augusta Herald.
Mr .and Mrs. Parker were resi
dents of Americus for several years
before j, ing to Augusta four years
ago. lueir many friends here will
be glad to welcome them “home”
again.
