National Bank Notes.

The government guarantees the cir
culatlon notes issued by national banks,
but not the deposits. Each national
bank is required to deposit vita the
treasury in Washington government
bonds to the amount of the notes issu-
ed by it, and If the bank fails the bonds,
are sold, and out of the proceeds the
notes are redeemed as they are present
ed. In fact, the government redeems
these notes at anytime, charging the
amount so paid to its bond account
with the bank. But while the govern
ment does not guarantee the deposit In
national banks 1t safeguards them by
close inspection of the condition of all
of them, so that there Is seldom a bad
failure Of a national bank.--St. Louis

there subjected to a continuous high
temperature, produced by the direct

tobacco, grown in the famous Pied

sweetening than tobacco grown in
any other section of the United States
and has a wholesome, stimulating,
juicy, full tobacco taste that satisfies
tobacco hunger. That's why chewers
prefer Schnapps, because Schnapps
cheers more than any other chewing
tobacco, and that's why chewers Of
Schnapps pass the good thing along

until the fact is established that
there are more chewers and more

Apple Borer Troubles OrchardIsts.

The flat headed apple tree borer''
is coming into prominence as a pest
which promises to make an abundance
OF trouble for every orchardist In
Washington, particularly on the west
ern side of the state. 1he state col
lege experiment station staff recently
Investigated large orchard and found
that three-fourths of the apple trees
we're damaged by the borer. In
searching for the pest the method
used by the college experts is to loos-
en- or cut through the outer bark of
the tree and if present, the grubs will
be ft und under the bark. At this
time of year they are about three
tourhs of an inch long, with large fiat
heads. Ii the apple trees are newly
transplanted ones, it will invaIibly be
found that the borer, il at work, has
killed great many of them. The fat
headed grub is especially dangerous,
for SO stealthily does he work that OF
ten he will destroy tree before his
presence is even suspected.
In fighting this nuisance, the meth
cd used by the college staff 10 to
scrape the trunk of the tree, and dig
the grub out with knife then wash
the trunk with a solution of lye, or
similar preparation. The fiat headed
borer is new conner In that state,
but has made remarkable progress in
increasing his kind. The experiment
station staff believes that he is one of
the coming problems which apple
growers oil the state will have to CON-
bat, and this is the best time of the
year in which to get at him.
