DAWN OF new ERA
COUNTRY SOUND
THERE rs TOO MUCH TO BE DONE
TOO GREAT CAPACITY FOR
DOING 1T TO ALLOW A LONG
DEPRESSION

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.--That the
country is already beginning to re-
cover from the severe shock receiv-
ed in the recent panic is the opin-
ion of E. H. Hartman as expressed
in a recent interview. 1--WE are on
the rebound from the depression and
we are on 1t to stay" Mr.. Hartman
said.
There will be no falling back.
Each step that we are taking is
firm Underneath the whole situa-
ton there is industrial stability.
There is too much work to be done
and too great capacity for doing 1t
to allow a long drawn out depres-
sion. There are indications every
where that confidence is being re-
stored. The country is too big and
the people too sensible to allow the
acts of a few men to shake their
faith in the integrity of our great
f1nanciers and business men as a
whole. Naturally there was a little
scare at first, but when the people
saw that there were rotten spots
only here and there they quickly
recovered from their fright. The
dawn of a new era Of prosperity Is
here. The over-strain ON cash us be-
Ing relieved, and credit is once more
being allowed to perform its normal
work. But we must not expect at
once to see every line of commercial
business as active as 1t has been
during the past two years. Perhaps
lit is better for the country that II
| should not be so. We have a presi-
! Dental campaign in front Of US. IT
! is only natural that we should feel
our way cautiously for some time.
When say cautiously, however, dc
not mean hesitatingly, but, rather,
conservatively."

LEWISTON BANK STATEMENTS

The national banks of the city
published their statements today in
response to the call made by the
controller OF the currency, and a
study of the figures shows them to
be In healthy condition, with dou-
BILE the legal cash reserves on hand
needed under the provisions of the
mational banking laws. This speaks
well not only for the institutions,
but for the whole Lewiston country
that makes this city It's banking
center.
The cash reserve required by law
Us 15 per cent, and the institutions
of the city show more than double
eh1s amount on resources aggregat-
ting nearly two millions.
What ID shown in the local banks
as only an example of what the
country in general is showing in
3his call for bank statements. The
banking reserves OF the country
have not been depleted, and show
NO basis for the widespread appre-
.heRsion that has for weeks been
hefalded throughout the country.

GREATER RANCE
ON The PACIFIC
WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY WORKS
BETTER IN PACIFIC OCEAN
BOATS PICK UP MESSAGES AT
GREATER DISTANCES ..t..

WASHINGTON Dec. 5.-Possibly
electrical conditions over the vast
Pacific ocean are more favorable fo&
wireless telegraph work than elsez
where, but it is certain that with
apparatus of small power compared
to the giant transmitters employed
in the Atlantic wireless telegraph
service, the army transports on the
seas have been extraordinarily sac
cessful in maintaining commuhica-
ton.
The Thomas picked up the naval
station at San Francisco recently
while she was 140O miles distant,
but even better, on the same trip,
that transport caught a message
from the naval station at Sitka, dis
tant in straight line, 1900 miles,
the best performance yet recorded
/ by the wireless afoat
/ Meanwhile the army signal corps
is having an equal degree of success
with the development of the new
small portable wireless apparatus
intended for use in the field, and
recently communication was easily
maintained from the White lot IN
this city to Indian Head, Md, 2f
miles distant.

they do not succeed in getting upon
the roots, it is sufficient for them to
and protection from the cold, and
when the warm days of spring
come they ascend again to the
branches, where they find a suitable
place for them to insert their beaks
and extract the sap upon which they
feed.
''The partially grown or fully
grown lice with cottony covered
bodies are the ones that migrate
downward in the fall. When a louise
has once inserted it's beak and be-
gun to suck the sap of the tree, it
seldom changes its location unless
disturbed. The lice that migrate
down the tree to spend the winter
in protected places are very small,
dark-brown or slate-colored objects
without any of the cottony secre-
tion upon them, so that the or
chardist is likely not to suspect them
as being the wolly aphis.
"These little lice can enter a
very small opening in the earth, but
they cannot actively dig their way
through the soil IL 1t is at all Arm.
Much can be done to prevent these
enemies Of the apple grower from
getting upon the roots of the trees
by firming the soil to the trunks Of
the trees and then throwing a little
ZOOS, friable earth upon It, Then
after the fruit has been picked and
the leaves are off, the trees should
be thoroughly sprayed with kero-
sene emulsion, a good quality of
| f1sh-oil soap or some kind OF tohac-
co decoctfon. II it Is not convenient
to do the spraying this fall, 1t can
be done early in the spring, before
the buds begin to open. II kero-
sene emulsion is used, the OIL should
constitute fully one-fifteenth of the
mixture. A good fish oil or whale
oil soap may be used in the proper
ton of a pound to six gaIlone Of wa
! ter If a tobacco decoction is APP
I piled, pound of the tobacco should
be used for each four gallons of wa.
tier. A very convenient tobacco prep.
karation is Black Leaf sheep dip
which may be used in the proportion
Of one gallon of the dip to 70 gal
Ions of water.
when making the winter OIL
spring treatments, be thorough ir
spraying the trunk near the ground
and also the ground for at leas
three or four feet above the crown
of the tree.
One great advantage in treating
1.-THE trees while they are dormant Il
that very few of the lady-beetles
blace-wing flies and surplus flies
(which are enemies to the lice, will
be killed by the applications, 81
that when they hatch out in the
tspring they will stand a better
chance of keeping the lice in check.

How can revenge be sweet when
1t had its origin in sour grapes?
The popular idea of an elastic
currency would be the kind that
would fly back when you let 1t go.
After reading the statements of
the national banks the people are
still at loss to know why the cir
culating medium is not allowed to
circulate There seems to be enough

With only a bridge across the riv-
