SPRAYING THE APPLE.
Solution Necessary to Fight

The apple is the most important
fruit grown in the United States. 1t

controlled by spraying. Before the
BUDS start, it is we'll to spray with
strong Bordeaux mixture or with cop

the lime through cloth or strainer,

The second application Of the spray
should be given as soon as the apple
blossoms fall. Then two or three more
sprayings should be given at intervals
of two or three weeks.

A Lily Luncheon,

This affair is most attractive. For
the center piece use large bunch OF
white lilies with the natural foliage;
glass holders, winding them with
smilax. The place cards are in shape
of lilies with the lettering in gold.
OF course the hostess will wear
white, and If there Is any color it
must be yellow. Serve the regulation
luncheon menu, but the ice or cream
may be frozen in lilly" forms or
served in real Gala lily. This is a
decided novelty. but is practical one.
White candles should be the only arti-
fetal light in the dining room and they
make the proper setting for this un-
usually pretty affair.

THE CASH
William Forsythe Arrested on Charge
Of Writing Checks on Banks Where
He Had Failed to First Make the
Necessary Deposit.

William Forsyth, we'll known
young man in this city was arrested
on complaint of the East Grand Forks
Brewing company of this city for
making out non-redeemable checks.
1T seems that Forsythe ran out of coin
and not having any immediate means
OF raising money proceeded to make
out check payable to himself and
cashed 1t at the East Grand Forks
brewery. The check was put in the
bank with the account of the brewery
but was sent back marked mo funds"
The company then thought that they
would make an example of Forsythe
and had warrant sworn out for his
arrest. 1t is understood that the
brewery will push the case and opin-
ions differ on what can be done to
the prisoner. Some contend that IL
Forsythe ever had money in the bank
and ran an account with them that
1t is not unlawful for him to make
out these checks as he would simply
be overdrawing his account. Others
claim that he can be prosecuted
whether he has had funds in the past
or not. The outcome of the case will
be watched with interest by many as
the question involved is an important
one. The counsel has not been de-
cided upon yet.

Social Session

The annual meeting of the Grand
Forks Young Mems Christian associa-
ton, which met in the new building
last evening, revealed condition Of
things which might we'll make the
general secretary and the board Of
: directors happy. The reports from
all departments showed that a rela-
lively large work was being done. hut
the report of the treasurer gave the
, greatest satisfaction, showing that the
; association was practically self-sus-
! taining. During the past year it has
cost $7,720.24 to maintain the built
Ing and work. At the beginning Of
fhe work the association was over
drawn $500. SO, but at the present time
the overdraft is but $2O0. Sc. Insur-
ance for three years has been paid,
while but one year could be pronerlv
charged up to this years expense.
Mhen this is taken into consideration,
It Will be seen. that the association has
more than paid expenses this year,
and has properly a small balance in
the treasury. This is most f1atter-
ing tribute to the able management OF
Secretary H. NJ. futile and the board
81 directors. The expense of mainten-
ance has been paid by the dormitory
rents, membership fees, returns from
bowling alley, swimming tank, baths,
lockers, etc.
1t might be worth while to note in
passing that there are but seven other
similar organizations in the United
states which maintain themselves.

ing done by the practical talk course
ana the entertainment course are OF q
nigh order. This report should have
been given by Prof Bryant Of the edu-
cational committee, but he was un-
avoidably absent.
PHYSICAL Director Fitzgerald gave a
brief resume of the work in his de-
partment during the past year and
while 1t was very satisfactory, the
attendance and interest has not been
as great as last year, when the build
ing was first opened and the newness
had not worn of. Work is being done
among a number of large classes and
hundreds are ayailing themselves of
the facilities of the association Auild-
ing to get exercise The gymnasium,
swimming tank and bowling alley are
all freely patronized. =.
Work Among the boys.
Assistant Secretary Mr.. Eaman has
a very interesting and detailed report
OF the work being done among the
boys. The classes are divided into
two classes, those over IA year Of age
and those under IA years of age. They
have regular gymnasium drill and
other physical exercises besides the
instruction impaired. The boys had
camps last year at Maple Lake and
enjoyed themselves immensely. A
glowing tribute was paid Mr.. Eaman
by some of the members present for
the high grade of work which he is
doing.
Chas ]. Norman reported on the So
cial work and while the public and
private entertainments have been
very successful, the committee is lay
Ing special stress ON the individual
work, which wins new members, and
the hearts of the boys to the cause.
Mr. Rorapaugh made the report for
the religious committee. He spoke of
the many seccessful devotional meet
ings held and the help given by the
general secretary and the pastors and
other religious workers of the city.
The following directors were elected
for the ensuing year, to secceed them
selves: R. B. Griffith, G. E.. Garvin,

from other than linseed oil in the liu-
uid portion? AS matter of fact, the
oil used In this paint contained a resin
and the pigment contained not a trace
of white lead. 1t has 65 per cent zinc
oxide and 80 per cent of lethopone.
Or, we might take another instance
where Sears, Roebuck & Co., in How
to Paint" say: BE sure that the oil
you are using is absolutely pure, sts
there is nothing on the market just
as good" And yet when we came to
examine their paint as reported upon
by the Experiment station in Bulletin
81, there was found approximately on.-
fourth of the total liquid portion as
water, while the pigment is composed
Of chalk and barytes approximately SO
per cent. We ask, therefore, is there
not good reason for the people Of
North Dakota demanding of their leg
islature a law which shall inform
them of the character of the product
which is to be sold as paint in this
state?
Gentlemen, if it becomes the duty
of the experiment station to enforce
the paint law it will be done along
the same lines as has been employed
in connection with the enforcement
of the pure food law. In spirit of
fairness to all, not in the mere tech
nical phraseology of the wording Of
the law, but rather with the belief that
the people are best served when the
true spirit and purpose of the statute
is kept in mind, and fair play is as
sured for both the consumer and the
manufacturer, and with the following
as our guide: Let the label tell the
trute."
