The San Jose (san Hozay1 scale IS
the most pernicious insect pest Of

for cutting down or otherwise de-
stroying a tree merely because It Ia
infested with San Jose scale unless
the tree is so far gone that 1t has not
enough itality left to recover after
the scale Is killed. Although one
OF the worst insects Of America, Il
has been demonstrated over and over
again hat the pest can be success.

CALLED OFF MEETING.
Negroes OF Maryland Town Had
Things Fixed to Knife Taft.

There was to have been meet
ing of the colored Republican club
at Brentwood, Md, suburb OF
WASHINGTON, on wednesday nigh,
but the meeting was not called tt'
order. It became known next dav
that the reason that no meeting was
had was that the president OF the
club refused to call it to order, be-
cause he knew that If the meet1ns
was had, the president of the United
States would be severely arraigned
nv resolution, and Bryan would ne
endorsed. It was the intention OF a
majority OF the members to pass
such a resolution, and the Chairman
did not want it. The meeting had
been called as g Taft and Sherman
rally. When the chairman found
that a large number Of members had
signed an agreement to support a
resolution condemning the presl'
dent for his activity in the campaign
and advising the negroes OF the
State to vote for Bryan and Kern,
ne announced that the meeting hal
been postponed.

HEAVY LOSS or LIFE
In the Coal Mines Of tho Unttea

Accidents in coal mines Of the
United States during the last cali
endar year resulted in the death Of
1926 men and injury to 5,316 mora.
according to statistics just made
public by the geological survey. The
death record among the coal miners
during the year was greater by 1,oss
than in 1906, and this Is said to
have been the worst year in the his
tory Of the coal mining industry.
The figures do not represeD: the
full extent Of the disasters, as re-
ports were not received from cer-
tain States having no mine in:pee-
tors.
West Virginia reported the heav-
lest death rate In 19G7-12.35 per
thousand employees and this State
also showed the lowest production
for each life Iost-65,s6s tons. New
Mexico stood next on the list with a
death rate Of 11.45 and production
Of 1892 tons for each life lost.
| Alabama was third with death rate
LOT 7.2 per thousand and production
Of s2,535 tons for each life lost.
| Missouri had the lowest death rate,
heading the roll Of honor with .ss
and 499,742 tons Of coal mined 2or
each life lost
i Statistics do not bear out the pop
ular idea that most mine disaeters
result from explosions. OF total
number reported during the last ycas
le47 deaths and 343 injuries result
, ed from gas and dust explosions. and
/ POI deaths and As injuries wsrs
J caused by powder explosions. Ths
+ chief cause of death among the min
/ ers, the report explains was due Il
the falling Of mine roofs and coal
: Such disasters caused 1922 death'
and 2;141 injuries.
