FRIDAY, APRIL 28, 1922, T ‘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.

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.

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.” ODD FELLOWS MEET.

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. *****«*■■—************« *«**■»«■ WWW i GIRLS’ LEMONS I WHITEN HANDS [ Press the juice of. two lemons into a bottle containing three ounces of Orchard White, which any drug store will supply for a few cents, shake well, and you have a quarter-pint of harm less and delightful lemon bleach lotion to soften and whiten red, rough or chapped hands.
