ticularly chestnut trees In Westchester county,
n. Y, and Essex and Bergen counties In New Jersey
are being seriously affected. many OF them having
died within the past two years.
The only remedy I know OF is to cut out the wood
Affected by the fungus and carefully spray with a
fungus spray, and also an insect spray to kiln the
green ny.
II will be necessary TO take prompt action II
these trees are TO be saved, and as II means a great

SimnIe Life in Chicago.

A colony of the simple life has been
begun in Chicago, where existence is not
merely swift, but complex, and sufferers
from Weltschmerz are nearly as numerous
as sociologists. Woman simple livers
will have to work only eight hours a
day. Do the men have to work longer?
1t h becoming harder and harder to
workmo than eight hours aday. Even
if you want to, Congress OF the Legisla-
ture may try to prevent you. II a real
philosopher were to join a simple life
colony he would take high ground and
refuse to do any work. That is the
primary simplicity; that is paradise
before the fall.
Married persons with children are
not wanted" Where are they wanted
in this iron age?, Is the simple life to be
no kinder toAmarried persons than fiat
owners and real estate agents without
bowels?
+The plan is to provide pure food. y
The Federal Government will attend to
that. Eating houses will be estab-
lished." Why eat? To be sure, the diet
is vegetarian, but the world is reason
ably full of v~egetarians already. "One
day each week each member OF the COM
munity will fast and rest Why not
rest all the week and hire outside help"
to do the fasting?
NO one will be paid for his labor. =
Well, that's all right. That insures con-
slant rest. There needs no Cook county
colony Of the simple life to teach that
lesson to a lazy world.
