Why Trees Are Sprayed.

So rapid has been the advancement of spraying as q means of controlling insects and diseases, that there is tendency to greatly overestimate Its value, says Farming. It was only twenty-siX years ago that paris green was first used for the codling moth of apples. Not until about 1885 was the Bordeaux mixture used to any extent.
 When we remember that practically nll of our modern spraying-its tools, mixtures and methods--nas been devel- oped or made of practical utility with in the past fifteen or twenty years. until it has come to be an almost uni versal practice among the most sue cessful fruit growers, we can readily understand why greater importance is sometimes ascribed to it than it really merits. Spraying is new idea; and
 like most new ideas, it has been over emphasized. There are some old and q few new ways of solving the insect and disease problems. Sometimes these other ways may be better even than spraying, sometimes they may supple ment it very advantageously. We should not forget them in our enthusi- asm over q new and valuable remedy.

Never Chew Your Pills.

The man who chews his pills, and thereby brings into contact with his palate all the nauseous ingredients of the medicine is the man who in life makes the most of his troubles, fingers on his supposed ills and misfortunes and injustices, and will not take his medicine, whatever it may be, with a smiling face and at q single brave gulp.

woMEN's IDEA OF BUSINESS.
Thousands of "Educated" Girls Cam

InOuSHnOS OI ShAf
 not Make Out Money Receipt. Thousands of girls are sent out into the world with what is called finished aducations who cannot even give prop CT receipt for money to say nothing of drawing promissory note, a draft or bill or understanding the signifi- canoe and importance of business con tracts, says o. $. Madren, in Success. Such woman presented check for payment to the paying teller of her bank. He passed it back to her with the request that she be kind enough to indorse 1t. The lady wrote on the back of the check, 'I have done business with this bank for many years and believe it to be all right. Mrs. James E. Brown.
 Another society woman In New York presented a check for payment at the bank and the teller told her that it was not signed. "Oh, do they have to be signed?" she responded. What an awful lot of red tape there is about the banking business"
 l know of q woman whose husband made a deposit for her in bank and gave her q checkbook so that she could pay her bills without annoying him. One day she received notice from the bank that her account was overdrawn She went to the bank and told the teller that there must be mistake about it., because she still had lot of checks left in her book She knew so little about business that she thought that she could keep drawing any amount until the checks were all gone.
 This sounds ridiculous and almost in- credible, but the very girl who laughs at it may make even more absurd blun- ders. Many an accomplished woman, when given pen and asked to sign an important document drawn up by an attorney or long headed business man, will sign it without reading 1t or even asking to be informed of its contents, only to learn afterwards by disastrous results that she has signed away her property and turned herself out ot
 
 home. Only short time ago 1 read of q woman who had won a suit in volving about $20,000. New evidence however, was brought forward, which caused the court immediately to reserve it's decision. It was proved that the lady had sworn falsely She was per fectly innocent of any such intention but she had sworn that she had never signed her name to a certain document The document was produced, and, tC her utter astonishment, she saw hel signature affixed to it. She acknowl edged at once that the signature was hers, although she had just sworn thai she had never signed the paper in ques ton. It appeared that, during her bus bands lifetime, whenever papers were to be signed, he told her where to write her name, and she did as she was told without having the slightest idea of tht contents of the papers.

COL. RANDOLPH'S
 INSPECTING TOUR
Attracted to Phoenix by the Climate
 at This Season of the Year.

Col Epes Randolph, president or the
 Randolph lines operating in Arizona
 and Mexico, spent yesterday in the city
 and left last evening for Tucson. Col.
 Radolphs visits to Phoenix have not
 been frequent during the winter
 months but he says that now since the
 hot weather has set in he will spend more of his time in the territory for he likes Arizona summers. His remark
 was at first taken as a joke but the colonel insisted and offered as proof of
 his statement the fact that he had spent the greater part Of the past ten
 summers in Arizona.
 His business on this visit to the city
 was of no special importance, he hay ing come here merely for the purpose of making a general inspection of his company's affairs here and at Tempe and Mesa. He did not care to discuss
 at this time the probable construction of the extension to the Hansen spur but intimated that it would be built at least to take in the country surround ling the Chandler ranch.
 Last week Col. Randolph was in San
 Francisco. The city, he says, is al- ready beginning to be rebuilt, the streets having been placed in condition that work might be carried on. Most of the structures in the opinion of the colonel. will be of the latest design of construction as well as in architecture and the city when rebuilt will be the most attractive in the whole west. He was of the opinion, however, that many years would be required to accom- plish it.
 The railroad building now being car ried on in Mexico by one of the Ran dolph companies he says is progressing very well and already about sixty miles of track have been laid. The work will
 be continued as long as the supply of material necessary in it's construction can be secured. That feature is one of the most problematic of the entire Mexican situation. The work at the Llanos de Orc property, the large placer fields in which Col. Randolph is heav- i fly interested, has progressed to that point where the greater part of the machinery is in place.
 Accompanied by several friends Col Randolph left last night for the south ern part of the territory but it is hls plan to return to Phoenix the middle of the coming week. Here he will join Prof. Prout, the geologist, and together they will make a trip into Pinal county.

AN ICE COMBINE
 EXISTS IN PHOENIX
The Late Competition Has Come to
 an End.

The ice market, more or less fluctu ating, with a downward tendency for the past sixty days, yesterday took decided turn and as a result consum- CTS will in the future and quite likely for some time to come pay for their ice at an advance of about ten per cent over what they paid at the beginning of the summer season. The only con solation in the situation at present is that the price of that much needed ar ticle will be something Iess than 1t was last year. when but one company was in the field. The price of ice last sea son was seventy cents and afterward sitxy five cents a hundred. When the Peoples Ice company entered the field at the beginning of this season it fixed the price at fifty cents. s. D. Lount & Son cut under to forty cents. The Peoples Company met the cut and went to thirty cents, which it is said is be- low the cost Of production. According
 to an agreement which went into effect yesterday the price of fifty cents was restored. At delivery in smaller quan- titles the price is thirty cents for fifty pounds.
 The cause of the raise in the price of ice was q sale which was closed yes terday and an agreement for the sale or the product or all or ln6 IaClOTleS OL the city. The sale was Of the factory formerly known as the Arctic Ice works to the s. D. Lount & Son com pany. The agreement was between the Is. D. Lount & Son and the Peoples Ice companies with the City Ice De- livery company. The latter concern purchases all of the product of the fac tories of the other parties to the com pany.
 By the deal The Arctic company re- tires from the ice business, although it was not announced whether it still held stock in the delivery company. The stockholders of the $. D. Lount G. Son company and the Peoples Ice company are holders of the stock of the City Ice Delivery company. The product Of all the factories of the city is less than forty tons daily. although their capac- ity is fifty tons. It was not announced from an authoritative source but it is understood that the new agreement will precipitate a war between the com panies now operating at Tempe and Mesa City to which points it Is possible for the local companies to ship ice at a profit. It is their desire, it is under stood, to operate to their fullest capac- ity and to do this it is necessary for them to enter an additional field and Tempe and Mesa are the most acces- sible. They already supply the most of the towns east of Mesa on the Phoenix and Eeastern road.
