Cause Trouble.

Everything is quiet today. The shovels are
all working. and the South Shore railroad

diers. Thirty-five of the strikers left last
night for other districts, and many more
are preparing to leave.

The Reason For Advertising.

Advertisers Use The Star
because they get profitable
resultsxom their advertising
In it.
They know, also, that
each one pays a like price
for a like Service.
Advertising space is not
given to one house IN order
that it raay act as a decoy
duck for others.
No Discount" for one,
special discount" for an
other and extra special
discount for still another.
Like price for like service
is the only fair way.

For somehow could not 60
That fantastic hoo-ly no.
Dear, sweet boy, not off ween.
You have missed, in uught, the tune;

age at which orange trees will bear well
and produce good fruit. Some maintain
that an orange tree, no matter how
much care is put upon it, will slowly
wither and die after it has reached half
a century of growth. Others have ar
gued that about seventy-five years is the
limit of usefulness of a well-cared-fOr
orange tree. Several American horti-
culturists, who have been travelling
along the Mediterranean Sea, have re-
Gently found trees over 100 years old
that are still producing fruit of excel
lent quality. On the Island of Elba,
where Napoleon was banished, there is
an orange grove of over 700 St. Michael
trees that was planted by an Italian in
1881, and it produced last year over
1900 boxes of fruit, but it produced four
times that quantity twenty-five years
ago. There are several small orange
orchards in Southern Italy that are over
eighty years old, and are still produc tive
of large quantities of fruit. On the Is
land of Malta, James Pellman, the ia
nous American horticulturist, found
one orange tree that there can be no
doubt is 142 years old, and that yielded
several boxes of fruit last year. 1t is
even alleged that in the Azores there
are orange and lemon trees over 200
years old that still bear fruit, but there
is no good authority for the allegation.
