Plum Tree Before Spring Pruning.

March being the accepted month.
There is a manifest tendency among
the most advanced fruitmen to do
more summer pruning and less spring
pruning. 1t is also quite plain that
those who are not real experts in or
chard matters are apt to overdo the
spring work with the pruning saw. If
pruning is carefully and conservative.

ly done every March from the time
the trees are planted out, it may be
considered safe operation. The ex-
cessive pruning of neglected trees at
this time of year, on the other hand,
is apt to be more Of a damage than a
benefit, says the Country Gentleman.
Under present circumstances, we
have to recognize the fact that March
will be the main month for pruning
on farms and in small orchards. In
face of this fact. it is well to urge
the advice to be careful with the prun-
ing tools, especially with the saw and
the ak, and not to go too fast.

Goss, superintendent of the asylum,

of what happened between the time

its sway in ward of the asylum will
be aroused only by shock as great
as the one which robbed her of rea-

And what shock was that?
This is the question which is BAT
fling physicians, detectives and rela-
tives of the unhappy family.
Did Mrs. Ball accidentally set her
house on fire, and then, in a spasm of
terror, race away with her children
from the results of her carelessness?
And If SO, at what psychological
moment was her reason destroyed
at sight of the flames, or when she
found herself alone in the woods with
her children?
Or did she feel the approaching re-
turn of the dreaded malady, and, fear
ing for the future of her children with.

away? And, if so, where did she
leave them?
May Have Sent Children Away.
Some few Brocktonites believe that
because the air had been full OF
rumors regarding unhappiness in the
Ball home she really did arrange to
have some one come with red auto
mobile and take her children where
they might be cared for.
But such reasoning does not satisfy
the majority of those who have
worked on the case. The majority
believe that the woman, in horror al
the malady which was slowly creep

some lonely spot and killed them

In connection with the recount
that has been in progress at Lansing
during the past two or three weeks
one fact at least will be noted with
satisfaction by Republicans every
where, and that is that there was no
evidence of intentional fraud present
ed. Carelessness on the part of elec-
ton inspectors was made manifest,
and loss of votes to candidates was
occasioned through failure to OBJ
serve the technical requirements of
the primary election law, but not a
single ballot suggested effort on the
part of any election official to pre-
vent the purpose of the voter from
having its full force. No cloud rests
on the title of a single candidate on
| the Republican state ticket. The
selections were fairly and squarely
made, and whatever divisions before
existed the present duty of all Re-
publicans to stand by the result
reached through participation of over
| 100000 members of their party is
plain and unquestioned. Not a thing
has been disclosed through the cleo
| ton investigation which does not add
to reasons why cordial and complete
support should be given to their state
ticket by the Republicans of Michi-
gan.

SiXty-two of the eighty-four coun-
ties of Michigan have thus far in
this year received more money from
the state treasury on primary school
account than the total of their taxes,
and there is yet another large pay
ment to be made from the state treas
ury to the counties in November. If
the Democratic candidate for COVER
nor wishes to gladden. the people of
the state rather than criticise his po-
litical opponents he could do nothing
better than to review the accomplish
ments Of Michigan during the past
ten years in the way of adding to it's
income, to it's earnings from corpor-
alton fees, inheritance tax fees, in
surance fees and license fees. Many
more thousands of dollars have been
added to the state earnings than
have been expended, and every dol
lar of this increase goes directly for
the benefit of the taxpayers through
being added to the primary school
| fund. The business affairs of the
state of Michigan have been as well
conducted as that of any business
| firm in our state, and the result gives
to Michigan a position not equaled
by any other. These are the facts
that should influence the voters OF
Michigan at the coming election.

'The Republicans Of the state
have decided the matter and / will
accept their decision and do all l can
to assist in the election of their
choice" This was statement made by
FredM. Warner when he thought that
another than himself had been elect
ed as the Republican candidate for
governor. He was disappointed then,
but he did not fail to keep in mind
what was due from him as a Republi-
can and as one who had been honor
ed by his party, and there are thous-
ands of Republicans all over Michi-
gan who did not favor Fred Warner
at the primaries who will Loyalty
support him for governor because of
his prompt and manly acceptance of
what seemed to him defeat and dis
appointment. 1t is not hard to do the
right thing and to say the right thing
when all ones purposes are favored,
but the acceptance of defeat in a
generous way requires different sort
OF material. Nothing that could
have been done or said by Governor
Warmer would have so recommended
him to the Republicans of Michigan
as his statement of good will and ia
vor for his competitor when he
thought that competitor and not him
self would be the Republican candi-
date for governor.

there are more jobs looking for men
than there are men hunting for jobs
when fear and doubt as to the future

in Michigan who does not know what
election results will be most likely

prejudiced against Republican can

Michigan who owns a house and lot
who does not realize that its value
