DIAGNOSING
TREE AILMENTS

Many of the requests for informa-
tion in regard to trees and their all
ments that are received by State 20
ologist II. \. Surface, Harrisburg, are
not definite enough, and it is difficult
to give the proper remedies in conse-
quence of not having sufficient infor-
nation.
A manufacturer of Hanover, Pa. =,
wrote to Professor Surface, inquiring
what to do for the trees in his garden
pear, plum, cherry, ounce and apr
loot, which are suffering, and appar-
emily dying. Following is the Profess
sor's answer, and it will be we'll for
those intending to write for informa-
tion concerning their trees to observe
the instructions given:

to do for your fruit trees, beg to say
that the remedy depends upon the kind

IN SUNDAY PAPER
The North American Offers Most
Attractive Supplement

lar delineator. His New Years add
ress to the public has been penned for
him by Margaret G.. Hays, who writes
his terrible tales every Sunday.
Those who are not North American
readers, aud who want the most at
tractive calendar of the season, should
order Sundays North American.

THE
JURY WHEEL

President Judge Charles G. Evans
came down from Berwick yesterday
morning to be present at the filling of
the jury wheel for the ensuing year.
jury Commissioners Robert c. Auten
and Henry Kern were also on hand
early in the day
Prior to Judge Evans election, for
many years the filling of the jury
wheel was left exclusively in the hands
of the jury commissioners. Judge
Evans, however, believed that he could
be of help in selecting men of the pro-
per mental and moral makeup needed
for jury service. He took part in the
filling of the jury wheel the first year
of his term and annually since then
when the wheel was being filled he
has been present with the jury com
missioners. Two hundred and sixty
names will be placed in the wheel for
next year.
In not a few of the other counties,
notably Luzerne county, the court
shares Judge Evans views and one or
more of the judges make it point to
be present with the jury commission
ers when the wheel is being filled.

BRINGS SUIT
FOR ISLANDER

Henry Roat of Liberty township has
brought suit against Percy Hagenbuch
of the same township for slander. a
writ of capias ad respondendum tres
pass in connection with the case was
issued by Prothonotary Thomas G.
Vincent yesterday.
In the statement of the case Mr..
Roat alleges that Percy Hagenbuch,
the defendant, spoke of and concerning
the deponent and in the presence and
the hearing of a number of persons
false, slanderous, malicious and de-
famatory words, which were address
ed to William Rote, son of the de-
ponent, to wit: Tell your father to
go and settle for the coal he stole"
The deponent declares that the
charge is wholly false and that the de-
fendant knew the same to be untrue
also that the said slander has often
been repeated by the defendant and
that it has to great extent injured
the deponent's reputation and affected
his character.
The deponent has lived in Liberty y
township for sixty-seven years. He
atfirms that he has sustained by reason
of the grievance above mentioned loss
to an amount exceeding five hundred
dollars in his business and his charact
er.

The general freeze has dried up
many springs in this region, and an
other water famine is on. During
Tuesday night the water pressure grew
so weak that for a while parts of the

while cars on branches of the Edge
