"A Californian who is in the city says
that in his state they take precautions
against injury by frost to vines and fruit
trees by having piles Of straw or other
material distributed along the outer rows
Of the trees or vines, which are fired in
the early morning at the first warning Of
frost. The smoke settles over the field
and acts in the same way as clouds in
preventing frost. The reason is that the
smoke checks the radiation Of heat which
takes place rapidly under q clear sky.

EDWIN cOWLES DEAD.

Demise Of an Editor Who Assisted
in Forming the Republican Party.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, Special. Edwin
CoWless, editor of the Cleveland Leader. died
at his home to-day from heart and stomach
troubles that have afflicted him during the
past four years.
Edwin Cowles was born in Austinburg,
Ashtabula county, Ohio, Sept. 19, 1925. IN
1859 Mr.. Cowles accompanied his father to
Cleveland, where he was educated and
learned the trade ola printer. When nine
teen years of age, in partnership with an
other, he embarked in the printing bust
ness on his own account. This co-partner-
ship lasted until 1858, and upon its disso.
luton he.became member of the firm oil
Medill, Cowles & Co., established as the
publishers of the Forest City Democrat. In
1854 the name of thenewspaper was Changed
to the Cleveland Leader. In 1855 Mr..
Cowles bought the interests of his partners,
who emigrated to Chicago and purchased
the Chicago Tribune, of which his brother,
the late Alfred Cowles, became business
manager. During the winter of 1s54-5 the
germ OF the great Republican party was
first formed in the editorial rooms of the
Leader, resulting in the first Republican
national convention ever called, being held
in Pittsburg.
