tania, and scores of other ships, by the officially directed German submarines, with the Alabama's action 50 years ago," he continued. "Semmes never destroyed a vessel without providing for the safety of the passengers aud crew. He turned his own officers out of their cabins to put in them the women and children of his fooe, and once when he had 700 prisoners and a prize-he allowed them to go in freedom on the vessel rather than send them to a nearby port where there was yellow fever. Compare these actions with the methodical and organized brutality of the German military authorities in this war, and then brand with shame the American traitors who seek to aid Germany by asserting that we, if given the chance, would be guilty of atrocities like he has committed." One Language, the English. Touching the matter of language Colonel Roopevelt declared that, "Wo must have in this country but one flag, and for the speech of the people but on language, the English language.

During the present war all newspapers published in German, or in the speech of any of our foes, should be required to publish, side by side with the forejgn text, columns in English containing the exact translation of everything said in the foreign language. Ultimately this should be done with all newspapers published in foreign tongues in this country. Universal Service. "Universal suffrage should be based on universal service in peace as well rs war," said Colonel Roosevelt in concluding his address. "Those who refuse to render the one should have r.o title to the enjoyment of the other.

We stand for the democracy of ser-vica; we are against privilege, therefore against the privilege which would escape service in war. "We must fight with steadfast endurance, until we win the peace of overwhelming victory for righteousness, and even while thus fighting we must prepare the way for the peace of industrial justice, and the peace of industrial democracy, which are to come after, and to consecrate tho war."

By G. R. BLISS. (Scott County Agent.) The -whit? grub is an Insect -with which everyone is familiar. The small boy finds it very useful for bait when be goes fishing.

Grubs are more common and troublesome in rich, mellow soil full of hnmus which has been treated liberally witn manure than in other kinds of ground. The adult of this insect Is the common May beetle or June bug which feeds upon the leaves cf trees and is so noticeable on warm nights in May and June. The insect requires three years-to pass through its life history from the egg to the adult beetle. During most of this time it exists as the larva or grub and causes Immense damage to corn, timothy, potatoes and other crops. Certain broods of the white grub have been especially numerous.

This is true of it through Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin in 1012 and again in 1915. It is probable that the insect will be quite common again in 1918 in this section. In 1915 the writer found a field of corn near Davenport in which the grubs did immense damage. Certain areas in the field produced practically no crop. The corn was blown over because the grubs had eaten off the roots.

An examination of the dirt around the roots revealed from three to eight grubs in every hill. At McGregor, as high as 40 to 60 grubs were found In single hills. In 1912 In a space of ground 21 feet square and 5 inches deep, 77 grubs, 2 years old were found. The writer has peeled back patches of Blue Grass pasture which had turned down during the summer and found underneath as many as 15 or 20 grubs in a square foot of area. They had eaten off the Blue Grass roots completely.

Has Many Enemies. Strawberry beds have been found completely destroyed by these insects. The white grub has many enemies which help to keep it in control. Chief among these are the brids, especially crows and black birds. Poultry also destroy a large quantity of these in sects.

They are eaten freely by skunks, polecats, moles, etc. There are a number of parasitic insects which live upon grubs, such as the black digger wasp and certain species of flies. There are also several fungus Rnd bacteria disease which attack grubs and sometimes destroy them in large numbers. Hogs relish them and one of the most effective ways of cleaning up a field Infested with them is to turn in the pigs. One has to be a little careful about pigs into fields infested with grubs where they have been running previously, because the white grub fosters within its body one of the early stages of the giant-headed thorn worm which infests the intestines of hogs, and hogs often pick up these parasites by feeding on the grubs.

Offer Several Suggestions. There are several methods of control which will help materially in reducing the damage from these insects. Plowing, done late in the fall just before the cold weather sets in, is one of the most effective means of control. Rotations of crops ia recommended ulnce the beetle usually deposits the eggs in grass, timothy, or. small grain fields.

These crops should be followed by clover, alfalfa or some crop which is not attacked, to any extent by the insect, Pastures which are seriously damaged should be plowed and used for other crops or the hogs should be turned In- and allowed to clean up the grubs pretty thoroughly and then the pasture should be disced and re-seeded to a mixture of suitable grasses.

This is a moral treason to the Republic, and all who engage in it are in fact, although not in law. traitors who have no right longer to be treated as American citizens. The time has come to insist that they drop their dual allegiance, and in good faith become outright Germans or outright Americans. They cannot be both, and those who pretend to be both are merely Germans who hypocritically pretend to be Americans in order to serve Germany and damage America. At this moment the vital thing to remember about these half-hidden traitors is that to attack America's allies, while we are at death grips with a peculiarly ruthless and brutal foe, or to champion that foe as aaginst our allies, or to apologize for that foe's infamous wrongdoing, Is to be false to the causo of liberty and to tho United States.

No Half-Way Attitude. "There can be no half and half attitude in this war, and no honorable man can afford to take such an attitude We are bound by every consideration of loyalty and good faith to our allies, ana any opposition to them, or any aid given to their and our enemy, is basely dishonorable as regards our ailies, and treasonable as regards our own country." Colonel Roosevelt said that tho claim that it was natural for American citizens of German origin to favor Germany was "nonsense, and criminal "nonsense to boot," and added, "either a man is an American and nothing or he is not an American at all. we are separate from all of them Wa most of the nations of Europe, nut we separate from all of them. We are new and distinct nation, and we are bound always to give our wholehearted and undivided loyalty to our flag, and in any international crisis to treat every foreign nation purely according to its conduct in that crisis, it is both weak and wicked to permit any of our citizens to hold dual or di vided allegiance, and it is just as mischievous, just as un-Amerlcah, to' discriminate against any good American because of his birthplace, creed or partentage." Loyalty Among Germans. Elaborating on that, point and protesting against the plan to exclude from American Red Cross units Americans of German or Austrian parentage or descent, Colonel Roosevelt said that if he had bee-n permitted to raiss a military force for service in France many of h's officers would nave been chosfn from among men of German parentage who were undoubted Americans.

Colonel Roosevelt severely arraigned those who seek to excuse the acts of Germany "our embittered and envenomed foe," by saying "we would behave in if we had the opportunity," and reviewed the history of the civil war in support of lis contention that the utterance was "infamous falsity."

His work is a matter of pride to the state that produced him. He's a winner. He's useful. He has been a great force, not only in Iowa, but Nationally.
