This practice he continued as he aequir-

walks along the south side CT + street on
that block and notices the names of the

been associated with the various properties
are retained with scrupuous regard for the

The Adams building. on the opposite side

perhaps the most conspicuous, for the rea-
son that 1t perpetuates the interest in that
piece of property on the part of the illus
trlous statesman and eX-PreSident of the

was the site of that building that Mr..
Adams had his own home for so many
years, both before he became President and
afterward when he served In the House
and won national place by the single

THIEVES TN HIGH LIFE
EMPHASIS PLACED UPON THEME
BY REV. Il. S. BIGELow.

'The Power of an Idea" applied to the
solution of modern evils was the subject
which was discussed Friday evening In the
assembly room of the Y. NJ c.. 4. building
by Rev. Herbert s. Bigelow of Cincinnati,
Ohio The lecture room was completely
filed and the audience listened intentiy
for the two hours that the speaker was on
the stage.
today, the speaker said, was in enforcing
the eighth commandment of Moses-"Th5u
shalt not steal" The trouble at the present
time is that modern life has changed the
con mandment to read something like this.
'"Thou shalt not get caught stealing a
little" In correcting modern evils it Is the
but the application of the truths 10 modern
conditions.
In illustrating the power of an idea, he
said. a new idea was the necessary fore
runner of progress The history of the
world is the history of the birth of new
ideas and the death of old ones. The shores
of time are strewn with the wrecks OF
dead creeds. Every day brings its new
truth and the preacher to preach II. The
apostles of great ideas are the saviors of

The Orchard and Garden.
From Outdoors.


An old, neglected orchard can be greatly
benefited by removing all the suckers from
the main limbs, trunks and around the
roots of the trees, and cutting away all
the dead wood. Real pruning requires
knowledge, and with old trees is not always
to be advised.
Plough the orchard. Using wood ashes
later arouses them into active vigor. De-
stroy the caterpillar nests, which look like
large cobwebs among the branches Spray
the trees thoroughly with Bordeaux, which
is made by mixing four pounds of copper
sulphate, four pounds of lime, in fifty gall
Ions of water. This mixture, applied now,
will check fungoid diseases Later in the
season, after the blossoms have fallen and
the fruit formed, add four ounces of paris
green to the mixture and spray again
Spraying must not be done when blossom is
on the tree, but always before budding or
after fruiting.
Before everybody gets too busy with
spring work slack bushel of lime, thin
out to a proper consistency for with
skim milk, add pound of common salt,
with which paint the trunks of the trees
to a height of about three feet. 1t wards
off insects and makes the orchard look
clean and tidy.
Dig around currant bushes and incorpo-
rate barnyard manure or bone fertilizer
with the earth. Spray twice. allowing four
days to intervene. with the second mixture
Of Bordeaux, otherwise, when the leaves
come they will be eaten by small green
caterpiilars.
Blackberry and raspberry canes should
be cut back to three or four feet in height.

The orchid needs no earth or mineral food
for it's nourishment, nor does Il derive any
nutriment from the wood or moss upon
which 1t is usually found growing. The
plant merely selects such places as sup
port because they are usually damp and
the delicate roots of the flower can almost
always depend upon the supply of moisture
found there The structure of the roots OF
the orchid is such that 1t Is able 10 derive
growth and development from air ana
moisture alone. Perhaps the delicacy and
rarity OF its food is responsible for The a.
most ethereal beauty OF the blossoms.

gathered for Mrs. Roosevelts collection
