On every farm where wood is used
for fuel and the ashes are not needed
for some other special purpose. they
ought to be used on fruit trees. Any
one who by accident or otherwise has
applied ashes to fruit tree has of
course, seen that it had marked eff
feet on the growth of it. Potash is re-
quired by fruit trees to larger en-
tent than the other elements of growth
and as ashes contain large per cent
of potash. it is just what trees need.
But 1t requires no reasoning to know
that what comes out of one tree is good
for another.

POSTAL GROWTH AND
THE DEFICIT


A comparative statement published
by the international postal bureau
shows that every great country eN-
cept the United States derives con.
siderable net profit from its postal ser
vice. For the calendar year the sur
plus receipts in that service exceeded
s22,000.000 in Great Britain and SIS.
100000 in Germany. The postmastci
general of the United States for the
same twelvemonth had deficit ul
over 81 $50, 900 to report.
For the fiscal year 1904 our post
office department reported a deficit Ci
nearly $4,000 600, and advance figures
from the official statement for the fs
cal year 1905 indicate another def
cheney. Nevertheless, there is egi
-dence of gratifying progress in thu
figures alluded to.
The extraordinary business ACTIVITY
OF the country is reflected in the
heavy gains shown by the postau re
ceipts, as well as in the expansion
disclosed in every branch OF the ser
vice. The total revenue OF the depart
ment will be about $4,000, 600 in OK
cess of that of the previous year. Tho
money order business exhibits an I'm
crease Of 20 per cent and reached tn,
81 200, ,000,OO0 mark. But the mos
striking evidence of growth may b,
found in the fact that the department
sold 600.000.O00 more stamps, stamp
ed wrappers and postal cards than il
the previous year.
1t appears that the present defci
may be attributed almost wholly q
the rural branch of the service. Bu
for the steady extension of rural dc
livery, the opening of new routes II
agricultural sections, the department
would at least be self-supporting.
There is still plenty of rom for r'
form. no doubt, in the classicatio
of mail matter and in other direction.
but rural delivery is worth all its cost
and more from the broad view OF n!
tional education and unity Rura
delivery largely does away with tn
intellectual and moral isolaction OF tn
farmer; II keeps him in touch vii

and conduces TO mutual understaniin

MCCALL.

There are graver evils In the man
agement of the New York Life lnsur-
ance COMPANY than the personal deal
ings of Mccall and the Mccall family
with the company. Among them we
have learned OF the syndiCates, the
falsified books, the extTavagaut salar-
les, the extravagant commissions. the
secret campaign contributions and tho
huge lobby funds.
Nevertheless. some of President Ne.
Calls small personal operations may
he usefully considered as indications
of the kind of business ideals and the
standards OF honor which ne has en-
ployed in the management of the com
pany.
The company possessed an apart
ment building, taken on foreclosure
which. when remodeled upon Presi
dent McCall's directions was valued
Al 100000 on the books. OF its ST..
apartments four are occupied by a
son. two nephews and a son-n-law of
Mccall on rentals so low that the
building nets the company about .
per cent income on the investment.
Mr.. Mccall permitted the president
OF another life insurance company to
carry for several years a $4,000 loan
with the New York Life at ] 1-2 per
cent interest-far below the ordinarv
rate. In return he obtained a similar
loan from the other company at the
same rate, Each man could herebs
profit TO the extent OF $1,000 or 50 5OU
year, even if he placed the money
only in the very safest kind of invest
ments. This is "co-operation'-o the
Perkins type-with a vengeance
The following bit of testimony
hould be hugged tight in the mind
of every man who now or hereafter
may have dealings with the New York
Life while Mr., Mccall is its president;
@. VIII you kindly explain. Mr.
Mccall, how You could justify taking
loan from the Metropolitan Life atI
that rate of interest? A. Well, II
might have taken it at lower rate
If they mad given it,"
Mr.. Mccall made this admission
with a laugh and chuckle. and he
seemed perfectly complacent as Mr
Hughes resumed;
q. You, as a director of the Met
ropolitan Life, were interested in see
ing that its investments were proper
ly made? a Well, II wasn't for me
TO decide on the rate of interest.
q. But your duty as director was
still quite obvious, wasn't it? A. We'll
don't think my duty as director call
ed on me TO pay higher rate OF in
terest than the company was willing
to charge me.
q. Are we to understand frankly
that you didn't allow your relation To-
the company as a director in any way
to come into your mind when you
were dealing in this matter for our
personal interest? A No"
This is the same Mr.. Mccall who
in December. 1896, allowed other Off
cials of his company to make affidavit
to the state of Texas upon an in
quiry that passed through his hands
10 the effect that no campaign con
tributions had been made by his com
pany that year, and who now testifie7
that a s5O.o contribution actually
was made.
Nevada has barred the New York
Life from its territory until Presi
dent Mccall resigns. other states
propose similar action. Is it any won
der? If there is justice to be had in
New York state MIR. Mccall will be
summoned to stand at the bar Of a
court to answer to his trusteeship.-
