variance with human needs that we
often find without mans intelligent
help the result is frequently disaster.
If our soil and location is not such as
the plum prefers, we must try to
make 1t so. Manuring, subsoiling,
draining, protection from wind and
drouth are some of the things nee
cessary.
When we have prepared the soil
the best our means and time permit,
we shall select the varieties to plant.
There are many better kinds than
Wild Goose, but none that bears more
or 80 regular and it should not be
omit tied. l do not consider it a good
plan to plant a great number of kinds
but regular succession, early,
medium and late. A plum grown in
this section in q number of places,
ripens In the middle of September in
good size and flavor and never misses
q full crop, is q desirable kind to
plant. 1t may be . selected native,
as 1t Is not named that know Of. 1t
is not best for farmers or city resi-
dents to plant moro than for home
use, leaving marketing to those who
make . business sof horticulture for
profit. Plum trees can be budded on
peach roots and grow no sprouts but
are Q great deal harder ON their own
roots, but will require much more
labor to keep our few trees from soon
making brush thicket. Grating
the plum is more difficult than bud
ding, and If tried should be done very
early in the season. Budding may
be done in June or September. l
think June 10 best, unless the early
part of September is wet, which is
not often the case here.
In conclusion If you intend to plant
plums don't fail to make enquiries at
horticultural meetings about the
kinds that do best.

Tended the jointist cannot be criticised.
They have used what legitimate
means the law allows them to secure
a fair trial to thell clients. In some
cases it may be doubted whether they
acted wisely in making appeals they
must have known would be useless.
But that was their right by law. No
one ought to complain. In the grad
ual crystalizing of higher moral
sentiment into the fixed operative
statute Of law good people have al
ways had need OF much patience.
That this crystalizing process is now
going on, no sober candid, well in
formed man can doubt.
To be sure 1t costs society q good
sum to protect itself by process oflaw.
But lawlessness Is manifold more ex-
pensive. This is true in dollars and
cents. 1t is infinitely more true in
real worth Of the State-namely q
pure, sober, upright manhood.

Law and Order Announcement.

EDITOR REGISTER:
Through your columns the Execu-
tive Committee of the Law and Order
Union wish to announce to the people
OF the county that its work is in a
flourishing and hopeful condition.
The local organizations over the coun-
ty have not been kept as active as we
should have liked. They have not
been kept in as close touch with the
Executive Committee as we should
have desired. This has been owing
to the difficulty Of regularly visiting
these places and thus keeping in
touch with them.
Open public meetings take much
time and labor to make them a sue
cess. We have thought it wiser
to work quietly and more directly to-
ward the enforcement of law. Many
Of our friends and supporters seem to
have come to the conclusion that
nothing 10 being done and the organ
ia tion 10 defunct. This 10 by no
means the case. The Executive Com
mittee has met 1T least once every two
weeks during tho past year. They
have kept in closest touch with the
proceedings in the courts; have watch
ed carefully the official actions OF
those whose duty 1t is to enforce the
laws and have counseled with them
and aimed to assist them in various
ways. The very nature of the work
done has forbidden publicity. 1t is
true that they have not succeeded in
closing every thing yet. But it is just
as true that they have made it Sc
dangerous for lawbreakers that they
have greatly curbed the business
Many sympathizers OF the jointists
