Save the Cherry Trees.

Many of the cherry trees are being
badly infested with the cherry slug.
This is very easy insect to control
and it is hoped that no one will allow
his cherry trees to be defolated at this
time Of the year. which is always a
serious calamity to the trees if it does
not kill them outright.
There will be another brood of this
slug appearing about month later
and anything that can be done to de-
the second.
The best remedies to use, If there
are many trees to be treated, are arse
nate of lead, Paris green, or white
he!lebore sprayed upon the leaves. II
arsenate of lead is used prepare by
mixing one pound of the poison in each
twenty gallons Of water. If Paris
green is used, prepare by mixing one
,, V;Ypnd Of the poison in one hundred
gallons of water. These poisons are
preferred providing there is no fruit
upon the trees. II the cherries are
still one the trees it is better to use
white hellcbOre. Mix one ounce with
each three gallons Of water. This
poison is best applied towards evening
1t is vegetable poison and loses its
strength in few days upon the trees
but when thoroughly applied is very
efficient in destroying the slugs
If only few trees are infested, they
may be thoroughly busted with slakec
| lime or fine read dust, either of which
W i'll remove the slugs and save tht
trees.

Warm Campaign Predicted
Cincinnati Enquirer ind. dem

Cincinnati Enquirer ind. DEM
This campaign will be one OF sIr-
priseS, one Of sudden sharp and SER
ious changes and before November ar
riyeS by vivid tightening situations
Will be riven, shattered, and recon-
structed from Maine to California.
Party ties hang loosely and a solid
south may be badly broken and sol
id north >hivered into irregular sec
tiOns.
The republicans has been reorganiz-
ed and is in new positions. Whether as
strongly cntreuchod as Of old remains
to be seen.
The democratic party is stronger in
the north than in 1896, 1900. or 1901.
There viii be nothing mOnOtonous
about this campaign. Both leaders
will be in the thick Of the contest
from start to finish, and slip in
speech or pen or action may be deci-
sive of the struggle.

Lonely.

o. bl' it's dun and Lonesome, and the
Hou-e i strangely still,
When the day is done and the setting
SUN hangs low DER the western hill:
Silent and dun and lonely, for now al
the close of day.
No shouts uf glee are awaiting me
the kIddie> have gone away.
Let me, their dear hands waving,
and IaceS alight with joy
Rena SO tall, Margaret small. Dor'thy
and wee Dickey Boy.
AND So, when the twilight gathers,
and daylight fades to gloom,
Silent ana sad and lonely | wander
from room to room.
There in the corner lying Il tattered
and well-wOrn shoe,
And think | see in my fancy free a
pink toe peeping through.
A small Sunbonnet hanging just there
on the bedroom wall,
And out Of the gloom of the quiet
room ghost voices seem to call
Voice uf happy children who left me
but Yesterday.
For the woods and streams and the
sunlight CLEANS of the quiet country
way.
And the ghostly echoes answer the cal
of my lonely heart.
And ! seem to see hands beckon me
over the miles that part.
Silent and sad and lOnely-but out ir
the country way,
The kddIeS run in the wind and sun
happy and free and gay,
Picking the flowers that blossom, anG
waving their daisy chains,
Joining in song as they play along
in the shade of the country lanes.
And the echoes of Joy come to me a
sitting alone out here,
dream day dreams of the woods ant
streams that confront my kiddies
dear.
Silent and dull and lonely, and the
home sounds strangely chilled
But my children play in the country
way-and my heart with JOY is filed.

TOUCHED ROCK BOTTOM

Sounded

Judge GrOSscup il seems to Us, went
a tritle out of his way to whack Judge
lands for having tried the Standard
| Oh company of Indiana and convicted
the Standard Oil company of New ,Jer-
Sey. The whole question in the case
was whether the latter corporation
was not the real defendant in court
The case was similar to the frauds in
criminal cases. where a thief
with political pull is convicted, and
the political pullers substitute another
man to be sentenced and incarcerated
This has been done number of times
in New York. Judge Lands had to
decide the question whether the Indi-
ana oil company was not in fact the
New Jersey oil trust. What did he
do? Assume the facts? Not by any
means. He called Rockefeller into
court and secured from him an admis-
sion that the two companies we're one
and the same, Judge Lands then
simply refused to be a party to a fraud
against justice. He declared, in eff
feet that whereas one large darky had
been discovered in the woodpile, the
| friends of the re bate frauds were trying
to substitute small pickaninny for
purposes of sentence, and to impress
him with the idea that this colored
boy was poor and that it was his first

Judge Grosscup may find many
sound and sounding legal ratiocina-
tions to condemn Judge Landis' action;

Newtown. Friday. May l5. 1908.

THE KENT BREEZES PLAY THE
 MISCHIEF WITH MERRITT.
 Merritt w. Hill, the genial jeweler and plate artist, came off the train in raging frame of mind. the other day. It appears he went up to North Kent and Skiff Mountain to take views for George Page, and had all sorts of ex- periences and rough time. He bought a ticket for the city of North Kent, slowed it carefully away in his pocket, and set out with a light heart at the prospect of day in the country. When Clark Lane came along after the paste- board he got rattled and took an inven- tory of every pocket. Finally as the train was pulling out of Kent he found it wrapped up in a tract Salvation Army lassie had given him. On arriv- ing at North Kent he went up the mountain and photographed the school house which is 1S7 years old. The fact of meeting the polite teacher so rat tied him he went away and left a part of his camera standing up against the schoolhouse. This necessitated long tramp back again. He then proceeded to Dr Skiff's farm to photograph a pond and the Skiff farmhouse. A great gust of wind came along and seized Mir Hills S100 camera and dashed 1t down to the ground. With his heart in his mouth he picked it up and found it somewhat smashed. This necessitat- ed a trip to Dan Tobin's blacksmith shop where he made the necessary re. pairs, took his pictures and went limp | ing down the mountain. Kent is mo- license town and Merritt is a temper ance man. but when he got on to the train he collided with the car door and took another reef out of his camera. But he got some good pictures, was used with the best of hospitality by the good folks of Kent, despite the ups and downs of an exciting day.

BEAUTIFUL BABIES
PUT ON EXHIBITION
First Congregational Church Holds
Show at Which Charming
Infants Are En-
tered

Babies with blue eyes and babies
with brown eyes-babies of all sizes
were the attraction yesterday after
noon at the babies reception given at
the First Congregational church under
the auspices of the kindergarten
church.
The little ones of the kindergarten
church furnished a program and acted
as wee hostesses to the visiting babies.
There were no prizes awarded, but
each visiting child received a souvenir
of the event. Every woman attending,
unaccompanied by a baby, was fined
for that important omission.
The children of the church presented
an admirable program of songs and
exercises appropriate to the occasion.
Little Hildegarde Stivers, who took
part in the program, celebrated her
fifth anniversary yesterday. She is the
little daughter of Mrs. Stivers, soprano
soloist of the church.
In connection with the reception a
Christmas sale was held, seven booths
having been arranged.
Mrs. w. P. Fishburn, chairman of the
committee in charge of arrangements,
was assisted by Mrs. George Clark,
Mrs. A NJ. Foster, Mrs c. D. VIII
-. y. MIS-. b. A. Harris, Mrs. c. E..
Stivers and Mrs. Frances de Camp,
superintendent of the kindergarten.
