"A saloon-keeper in Mlamls-

card with the following on its back:
"To all whom it may concern-know
ye that, by the payment of 1925, | am

The Colorado papers seem to
never tire of denouncing the business
methods of the bankrupt Chicago
printing and stationery house of CUT
yer, Page & Hoyne. The firm kept
drummers securing theWestern States,
as far as the Rocky Mountains, and
every new set Of county officers was at
once approached" for orders. The
same work could have been procured
for the same rates right at home; but
the officials, with strange infatuat'on,
persisted in sending thousand miles
for what they needed instead Of patron
izing their fellow townsmen and con-
stituents. The inference was plain
so plain that the newspapers referred
to do not he state to charge corruption
on the county officials, while the latter,
who can give no valid reason for their
a. ton in the premises, are compelled
to 'grin and bear it,"

The Price Of Clothing Marked Down %
Per Cent.

S. J. Friedman has determined to
close out his entire stock of clothing,
as he expects to build an addition in
the spring, and will need the room for
mammoth stock of European and
American dry goods and notions
To this end he has marked all his
goods down, but especially clothing.
Black dress suits that have been sell
ing in this city for $50 he sells for
S22.5O; he also has all-wool suits
from $40 upwards; and pants that
have been selling for $3.50 he now
sells for 81

fall or winter wear had better go see
his goods, as really astonishing bar
gains are offered.

The middle or latter part of the fall is
perhaps, the best, time ofthe year for scraping
and washing. the bodies of the old apple,
pear, cherry, and plum trees. On the ap-
proach of cold weather the insects begin to
hide under the loose bark, and in the crew.
ces of the trees, where they hibernate all
winter, so that thorough washing and
scraping at this season will not only benefit
the tree by causing the old bark and moss
to fall off, but will catch and destroy large
numbers of insects besides.
With blunt blade hoe, or dull draw
ing knife, proceed to scrape away the loose
bark and moss from the bodies and larger
branches of the tree, taking time to do the
work thoroughly, and exercising care not
to scar and wound the live bark. A hoe is,
perhaps, the best implement of the two, as
with old and tall trees, the long handle will
enable the operator to reach all the larger
branches where there is any moss or bark
The old bark may be collected in baskets
and afterwards burned to destroy any bugs
there may be in it.
As fast as the trees are scraped, another
person should follow with a pail of the
wash, ready prepared for laying on with
a brush. There are different kinds of
wash, some designed for destroying the in
sects mainly, and some for removing the
old bark and moss that may be left by the
hoe. For killing out or expelling insects
the best, perhaps, is mixture of whale oil
soap, sulphur, and weak lye or pot liquor.
A pound of the soap to pailful of the lye
or liquor. Care should be taken not to
have the lye too strong. as that might in
jure the trees. The whale oil soap, which
can be had of any druggist, is very obnoxi-
GUS to most insects, and will kill many of
them.
For removing the moss and old bark
merely, a mixture of soft soap and lime or
strong ashes will answer. The lime or
ashes causes the bark to peel off nicely,
leaving the stems fair and clean, and the
soap makes it adhere to every bump and
crevice, and, with the first rain, helps
to loosen the dead material. Just here let
us say that dry ashes Or lime, sprinkled on
mossy roofs on rainy day, will cause the
old moss to ueel off nicely.
After the trees are scraped and washed,
rake up all the debris from around the trees
that might harbor any insects, and burn it.
And all the sciOns from about the bodies
should be cut away also, and the trees dug
around and manured. A peck of lime or
hall bushel of ashes should be scattered
around every tree. to supply the plant with
its appropriate food. An orchard will not
thrive without an abundance of potash for
the roots to feed upon, and ashes supply
the potash. If you have a good orchard it
is worth while to take care of it, for nothing
goes to ruin so fast as an orchard neglect
ed. 1t will pay well to take care of the
fruit trees, to tend, scrape, wash, and ma
nure them.

What one Glass OF Whisky did.
BY B. V. C.

You have doubtless all heard of the
wreck of the ''Scioto," on its return from
an excursion on the evening of the 4th OF
July, whereby nearly sixty persons lost
their lives. To you who live at distance
this seems but one of the many accidents
which are continually occurring, but over
the towns of East Liverpool and Wells
vile, D., it cast the deepest gloom they
have ever known.
And had West Virginia been prohibi-
ton State, the sad ending need never have
been written. 1t is said the pilot was taken
from tending bar in his saloon in Wheeling,
on account of the scarcity of pilots, and
placed on the boat for this trip. Saloon
keepers in Moundsville testify to his taking
only single glass of whisky. Let it have
been one glass or many, he took enough to
unsteady his hand and bedim his brain. so
that when he met descending boat that
signalled for the Ohio side of the channel
he signalled for the same side, and that,
too, when the boats were only $50 feet apart.
The 'Iomas" ran directly into the over
crowded ''Scioto.' In three minutes the
frail boat was settling in fifteen feet of wa
ter, and more than one tenth of her pas
sengers had found watery graves. Music,
dancing, and revelling were changed into
groaning, praying, and cursing.
And whisky did it ALL Itsent fifty-seven
souls into eternity without a moment s
warning, and carried sorrow into more than
fifty homes. 1t cast pail of midnight
darkness over the whole community, shut
ting up all places of pleasure and industry
in two driving, busy towns, 1t dug fifty
seven new graves in their cemeteries, and
drove fifty-seven funeral col teges along the
shrouded streets. 1t left children father
less and motherless, and made gray-haired
parents hildless. 1t left wives widows and
portionless, and brothers and sisters mourn
ing and desolate.
And what did this one glass of whisky
do for the man on whose shoulders lies the
responsibility of sending three-score human
beings into eternity? Aside from the pun
ishment that will probably follow, what
must be the state of his feelings? Will
peace ever again fold her soft wings over
his troubled conscience? Whisky did it
all. But let the man who sold the poison
and the State that licensed ats sale bear a
share of the gnilt, as they are responsible
for the crime.-National Temperance Ad-
U0cate.
