Protecting Trees.

Colman's Rural World For three
years we have relied upon coal oil en-.
tirely as a protection against,rabbits
At the beginning of winter we mix
one gallon of linseed oil and one quart
of crude carbolic acid, and paint or
wash our trees. We don't think the
lead does much good. But as it is a
rank poison, it may help that way.
We think its greatest value lies in the
fact that the proportion used asigiven
above gives just suggestion Of white
ness to the bark, aud anything wrong
with the bark or under the bark is
made more apparent, or is more easily
seen. The ingredient in the mixture
from which we get the greatest good
we think, is the coal OIL. 1t has kept
our trees almost absolutely free, from
the flat and round-headed borer and
other bark insects. On 1900 trees a
careful search found less than 100
borers. We think careless painting
is to blame for these. When we paint
we cover all the lower branches and
put 1t on without stint.

BROKEN BRIC-A-BRACS

Mr.. Major. the famous cement man, OF New
York, explains some very interesting facts
about Majors Cement.
The multitudes who use this standard article
know that II is many undred per cent better
than other cements for which similar claims
are made, but great many do not know why.
The simple reason is that Mr.. Major uses the
ufabtureEs do not use them. because they are
too expensive and do not allow large profits.
Mr.. Major tells us that one of the elements OF
his cement costs 1915 pound. and another
81 90 gallon while a large share of the So
called cements and liquid glue upon the mark
cts are hing more than siXteen-cent glue,
dissolved in water or ctrc acid, and, in some
cases altered slightly in color and odor by the
addition of cheap end useless materials.
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents aud
twenty-five cents a bottle, and when a dealer
tries to sell substitute you can depend upon
II that his only object Is TO make larger profit.
fhe PROM on major S cement is as much as
any dealer ought TO make on any cement And
this is doubly true in view OF the fact that each
dealer gets his his share of the benefit of Mr..
Majors advertising, which nOwamounts to over
5000 mouth, throughout the country Estab-
lished in 1876.

Moran and Misunderstanding.

William Mattocks, assessor Of
Moran City and Marmaton: township,
was in town and filed his report
of the property value of both.
Moran City has a personslIproperty
valuation of $751; 1926, land her real
property Is worth SAG, 0S5, making a
total of SIS, $40, less the constitutional
exemption of So, 900. Her population
lie 511, a gain of 25 over last year.
Marmston township, outside OF
Moran, shows gain in population of
"a over last year. Her personal
property shows: Horses 40 at 1913. 40
each, or $4,000 total; 2S13 cattle at
$18.5S, or 300 total; 2l3 mules at
S37.76 or S., 40; 1920 hogs at S3.O3 or
$5,2l5; total $lOO,7S5. Exemption $50 :
600, leaving $7s,7S5 Real property
taxable 1884 ,435. Total 1914, 900.
Mr.. Mattocks reported that the peo.
PIE of the township were interested
In the matter of taxing the gas leases
as there were quite mum Der aud he
failed to make a return of them be-
cause he had no list. The general
sentiment of the township was that
the full valuation was all right pro-
vided the rest of the county did
equally well.

Rain Stopped Cement Making.

1t was the intention of the Cement
Company when the plant was started
up last Monday to keep 1t in con-
tinuous operation from that time, but
the rain has compelled a cessation of
work. The steel frame for the build
ing in which the completed section is
located is up but the sheet metal
covering is not in place. The metal
is here but the men composing the
steel gang declined to work in the
rain and so no progress has been
made this week. Ten days steady
work will enclose the building and
then work will start again.
The initial run was very salts.

finest kind OF cement were turned out.
Mr.. Holmes is highly elated with
everything and stayed here all week
in the hope Of seeing the work con-
time, but he yielded to the rain
and left for Detroit.

THE WORLDS SUPPLY CENTER.
Globe Democrat: The United
States, which has been supplying q
large part of Europe's outside needs
for years past in the way of merchan-
disc of different sorts, is now called
upon to help Europe out in the matter
of money "Where shall the Old
World CO." exclaims Russian paper,
"to get the gola which 1t urgently
wants at the. present time except to
the United Ststes?" This answer
seems to accord with Europe's
notions. Strong demands are being
made on the United States for gold
for all parts of Europe, and all the de-
mands are being met promptly, as
far as can be seen.
Though the United States was for
many years the largest gold producer,
1t was considered q debtor country,
and therefore had need OF money from
the rest of the world instead OF being
able to furnish any to outside nations
To a considerable extent this condi.
tion has changed In the lapse of time.
The United States Is still one of the
gold producers. 1t has also, through
the unexampled business activity
which prevails in all sections, more
uses for money at present than ever
before. Nevertheless it is in q much
better position to furnish money to
the world than ever 1t was until q
year or two past.
The volume of business in the
United States in the past twelve
months has been far in excess of that
of any period in the past. It's money
stock, however, has increased even
faster than its business. The cash in
circulation Is In excess OF $26 per in
habitant, which Is the highest line
ever touched in the United States.
Moreover, the tendency is still up
ward. The gold supply is also at a
higher mark than ever was reached
before, the entire amount of the vel.
low metal now in the country being
placed at about 81 900 900, 900. The
only other country which approaches
this sum of gold is France, which has
about $500, 100000 of it.
The mines of the United States are
more productive now than they ever
were in the past, even than in Califor.
MAS fiushest days, and most of the
Klondike product comes here. The
present year will see the country's
gold product largely increased
through the Cape Nome diggings
which promise to place the United
States at the head of the list of the
worlds gold producers once more, de,
spite the great increase which has
made in some of the other countries
Here are some of the reasons why
England, France, Germany, Russia
and the rest of the Old World turn tC
the United States to get supply o.
gold. Several millions of it have been
exported in the past few weeks, and
even greater sums are booked to &c
out within the next ten or twelve
days. But there is not the faintest
uneasiness on that account IN this
country. Business enterprises of al,
sorts are being arranged on a larger
scale than ever before, the country'I
stock OF, cash lie steadily growing
larger, and the wave of national pros
perity rises higher and higher.

CONCERNING FREE DELIVERY
Some of the Things Which Must be
Considered in Ask ing for this
Favor from Uncle Sam

Post master Henderson, like every
good lola citz9n is anxious to have
Tree delivery of mail established here,
and while discussing the matter with
a REGISTER reporter called attention
to the clause in the U. $. Postal Guide
for 1900 relating to free delivery. 1t
reads as follows:
Sec. SOP. Applications for Free De-
livery Service. Applications for the
establishment of the carrier system
must be made by the p )stmaster gen
eral, through the first assistant post
master general, free delivery division
and must state the name of the post
Office, the population of the city, vii.
lage or borough, according to the last
general census, taken by authority of
state or United States law, the gross
revenue of the post office for the pre-
ceding fiscal year, the condition of
the side walk whether the names OF
the streets and numbers Of the houses
are posted up and the city pro-
perly lighted. The application may
be made by the post master, by petit
tion OF citizens, or by the municipal
authorities.
The requirements have been COM
piled with ia Lola in nearly every re
spect, but the chances are that II an
inspector should come here to investi-
nj hn end a.,
for objection. The gross business has
passed the required $4,000 mark. In
the matter of sidewalks considerable
improvement will doubtless be nee
essary and every body should comply
with the city ordinances ordering
new walks. Free access 20 the town
by walk is one ofthe important points
to be considered. The street naming
has been done and the signs put up
but the town should be gone over
again and the boards should show
both the street names at every Cross.
ing. The houses should be mum bered
and this is something which the indi-
vidual should look after. There is an
ordinance requiring the numbering
but hardly thirty per cent of the
houses have numbers. In reference
to the census it may perhaps be wise
to await the census this year as the
last one was taken two years ago and
this year will show up double the one
of 1898. lola can meet every require
ment and every body should work to-
gether to pass good examination
and the same year that electric lights
and water works are established
ehould bring free delivery, one of the
blessings invented by civilized men.

they failed to register kick until the
aforesaid joints had been closed.
The Paola company was the only
one which was experienced and
drilled into shape to compete, and
after their withdrawal Girsrd had a
show to win, not before. They will
bear out the committee that the drill
was declared off by General Lyon in
the morning. The Wichita men will

to and were not in shape to drill, and
every person in lola will swear that
the drill ground was unfit
The responsibility OF the declaring
off OF the drill rests with the COM
mander Of the Uniform Rank. The
charge of stlnginess is unjust and
malicious. lola was ready to care for
1000 knights iand 5000 visitors and
she lost money on the deal, as not 500

Of twenty companies of Uniformed
men, three appeared. Paola and
Wichita are not kicking, and it really
