OFFICIAL PAPER OF ALLEN COUNTY,
HORTICULTURAL DEPARTMENT,
IEDIrKD .BY W. JOHNSON J

EDITED eB1 J W IOhNSoN }
Start right, but it is anything else
than starting right to plant two or
three trees each of a hundred or so
sorts with the avowed object of test
ing for myself to see what is best be-
fore planting my orchard" Life is
too short to be wasted in making eX-
periments to prove facts already es-
tablis he'd.
The oldest science of which we have
any record is horticulture. How fool
ish it would be for a youth seeking
a knowledge of mathematics to say:
"I will not study arithmetic, or alge'
bra, or geometry, bat 1 will just work
it out for myself, for want to prove
what learn" How far could he get
in a lifetime? To succeed in hOrticul-
ture, you must seek to obtain the wis
dom of the past and present-then, if
you can, add to the already vast store
The best scientists can only work out
for themselves a fact here and there.
Not a textbook in use but what is
made up in very large part OF facts
at secondhand, and even hundred
hand-if VIC do not take the expert
ence and facts established by others
the entire system aud fabric of know
ledge must go to the four winds. a
wise man will profit by the experience
of other men.
Statistics show that more than 100
million fruit trees have been sold an
nually for many years in the United
States. Sharp competition has slim
ulated cheap production and cheap
handling, and carelessness by the
purchaser has proven fatal to by far
the greater part of the trees. The
neglect of the purchaser is by far the
most inexcusable, as all about US we
see large numbers of fruit trees that
only cumber the ground. They are
never fertilized nor pruned and event
ually yield to the host ofenemies that
lay in wait for the first sign of dis
tress from the neglected, choked and
starved trees, when they attack and
complete the ruin so inadvertantly in
vited.
Someone says, "young farmer, start
an orchard; start il this spring; buy
trees from none but reputablenursery-
men," See the trees lifted from the
row yourself, stay with them until
they are well set in well prepared
soil and don't desert them until they
have overcome the various hindrances
to a vigorous lite that they find in
their new quarters, when your vigil !
may be slackened but not abandoned,

Touching Scene In n Chicago Drug Store

AS far as herself was concerned she
held the storm lightly. She had on a
little jacket not longer than a REFER
Her eyes were unprotected, and bar
ring pair of kid gloves her hands were
uncovered. 1t was in drug store on
the north side, says the Chicago Trib-
une, when she came in evidence. There
was crowd inside the door waiting for
a car. She was out of sight behind a
big showcase using the telephone. Aft
er ordering 0oilcloth for a room three
and three-fourths yards wide by four
yards long, and having forgotten to
ring off, the waiting messengers heard
her say:
And was my sweet darling cold? 1t
is too bad, dear; no matter, we will
soon be home"
Tough weather for a baby to be
out" thought the car walters in cho-
rus. Then she appeared around the
showcase and put bundle on the cigar
stand. From the folds Of the envelop-
ing wraps was poled the nose of as
thoroughly an unattractive dog as ever
took prize for ugliness in a bench
show. The outer covering of the ami
NAL was a heavily quilted and en-
broidered wrap of dark goods. Under
this there was delicate white flannel
covering worked with silk thread.
Both were OF extent enough to go
around the dog twice. She adjusted
its wraps carefully, SO that not even
the tip Of its tail was exposed, and
made out into the storm regardless of
her own unprotected face, ears and
hands and insuficiently protected
body. 1t was all right, her darling

QUICKER TIME TO CALIFORNIA


OF course it is via the Santa Fe
Route-greatest railroad on earth
TO be strictly accurate, we should say:
quicker time to California.
You can now leave home in the
morning and take solid train of Pull
man and tourist sleepers at Ottawa
the same afternoon via EmpOria for
Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Only 63 hours e! days. Ottawa to
Los Angeles. That beats going over
land by wagon, the way they did
years ago.
Talk it over with local Santa Fe
Agent, and ask him for free copy of a
pretty book, "TO California and Back. ("
You see we expect you to come back
some time over the Santa Fe Route.

Gregorys appeal for an injunction. was a

tinuing statute. The Constitution holds
that any section Of an act. or act amended.

The decision OF the. court was on the
question of the proper Interpretation Of the

DELPHI, Ind, Dec. 5.-For the first time
In four years the Republicans have a ma
jority on the board of County Commits
sioners of Carroll county, and the financial
situation that faces the board is anything
but encouraging. The history Of this county
during the past four years demonstrates
conclusively that Democracy is a tax. Four
years ago the county was practically out
OF debt, had a low tax levy and the tax
payers generally had reason to congratu-
late themselves. One OF the first things the
Democratic board did after coming into
power was to sell $4,000 of bonds to John
p. Frenzel OF Indianapolis, at discount
OF 5000. the bonds to run twenty years.
bearing interest at per cent, payable
semi-annually. The deal was made secretly
and the first intimation that the people
had that a bond issue was contemplated
was the arrival of the bonds duly engraved
and ready for the signatures of the COM
missioners. Following this was another is
sue of $4,000 in bonds. Following this was
a loan of $1,000. which is to-day unpaid
In addition the county treasurer has for
months been marketing warrants mot paid
for want of funds" While all this extrava-
gance and debt-making was going on the
levy for county purposes was raised from
90 to 81 cents on the one hundred dollars.
Taxes have been almost doubled in this
county in the last four years.
