About PLANTING Trees.

Arbor Day is coming soon Isn't
there chance to plant trees near
your schoolhouse or home.
Native trees taken from the woods
are far better than those bought OF
nurserymen. Trees that are raised
commercially in nurseries are quite
likely to be infested with San Jose
scale or other disease, so that they
will not flourish Choose a tree with
straight trunk. Young trees whose
trunks are about one inch in diameter
are best, Nothing is gained by taking
trees that are much larger; the larger
the tree the greater the setback in
transplanting. Have as many of the
small, fibrous roots as possible. but
cut off with a sharp knife all that are
broken or bruised. Cut off nearly all
the top; the tree will branch out ano
grow faster for it. One secret in the
transpl anting of trees is 10 keep a
proper proportion between roots and
top. Do not have more top than
roots; il is much better to have more
root than top. Young trees cut down
to bare poles will often do better than
hose on which many branches are
left.

A GREAT CHILD RACE
Late Chicago Millionaire Opposed to
Race Suicide.

Out in Chicago much interest is
manifested in a child race in which
the stakes amount to millions. When
Otto Young died he left a fortune of
100000 to be divided among his
grandchildren. His daughters were
to have only an income unless they
produced heirs or heiresses. Mr..
Young was no advocate of race sui
eide, and he put handsome premium
on young Americans Mrs. Marie
Julia Young Kaufman, of Marquette.
Mich. still has long lead in the fam
lily with five children, while Mrs.
Cecile Young Heyworth comes next
with two, and Mrs. Catherine Otillie
Young Hobert has been blessed with
one child. Until recently Mrs. Sam
uel Martin, who was a Miss Young,
had no right to share In the family
fortunes outside of mere income.
But the Martins have come to the
front with a handsome bouncing baby
that wins 100000 for it's enterprfs-
ing parents. This baby race must
egcite intense interest at the White
House and should hven up the cam
paign against race suicide. Chicago
will be making a mistake ff it does
not appoint President Roosevelt UNI

TAFT REPLIES TO BRYAN
Characterizes Him As Leader The
Democrats Do Not Want
SAYS He is INCONSISTENT
Wants To Know Where Bryan Stood
When Treaty of Paris Was Sign
ed and Philippines Acquired.

Omaha, Neb., April 7.-Secretary OF
War Taft rounded out the first day OF
his trip to Nebraska Monday night
with a speech at the Auditorium
where he was the honor guest at a
banquet given by the Mckinley club.
The secretary took occasion to place
before the people the issues OF the
coming campaign as he views them,
and incidentally to reply to recent
ntterances of William J. Bryan, when
the democratic leader criticised the
action of the Mckinley and the Roose-
welt administrations for their policy
in the Philippine Islands.
The secrtary said that Mr.. Bryan
was not consistent in his utterances,
because he had been the means, in a
large degree, of bringing about the
signing Of the treaty Of Paris, where
by the Philippines came under the
control of the United States, and he
is now criticising the action of the
administration because of its efforts
TO teach the Filipinos the art of self
government.
The secretary entered the banquet
hall arm in arm with Governor Shel-
don, to the strains of Hail Co'um-

Consequently, the jurors rendered
two verdicts in the case of Maison
Nouyelle VS.. Mr.. and Mrs L. M. Fer

dispute as to whether Maison Nou-
velle should receive a balance of s165
alleged to be due on a millinery bill.
The jurors decreed in one verdict
that Mrs. Ferguson must pay the $165,
the finding being in favor of the plain

In the other verdict the jurors re-
lieved Mrs. Ferguson's husband from
all responsibility, the finding being in
favor of Mr. Ferguson as one of the
defendants
The decision established prece-
dent so far as the classification of
women's hats as necessaries of life are
concerned. 1t is evident that the men

PEACH CROP STILL SAFE
High Winds Are Said to Have Keep,
Buds From Freezinu.

Notwithstanding a temperature of
% degrees, with snow and ice, the
fruit men of Washington county, Md.
do not think any damage has been
done TO the peach crop or other fruit
by the cent cold wave.
They claim that the high wind pre-
vented the buds from freezing, and
superficial examination of the
trees seems to bear out the theory.
There was fear that the sudden drop
in the temperature would work the
same results that followed the cold
wave at this time last April, when
the entire fruit crop in this section
was killed. Then the weather was 10
degrees colder than it was last week.
