CHARITABLE San Francisco.

The success of the late "tag day"
in this city was phenomenal, some
$4,000 being raised in one day for
the Children's Hospital. The sale Of
the New Year Joy bells has also been
remarkable, as any one may see by
passing along the streets. The de-
mand for Red Cross stamps enor-
mously exceeded the supply, and had
it been possible to anticipate such
demand few Christmas packages
would have left the city without the
Red Cross stamp upon them. Now,
in the face of what is possibly the
greatest calamity of recorded history
occurring In a far-off land, our REQ
pie are as prompt as any in the
world to respond to the call for re-
lief, and, regardless of the fact that
our own disaster has left a multi
tude who must be permanent charges
on the charity of our people, we are
sure that there will be our usual
iberality.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Apple Tree. Fer Acre.

Apple trees to be permanent must
have room for healthy development.
Their tops need air and sunshine and
the roots must have space to spread.
II trees are crowded the fruit will
be small and of bad color. Anything
like forest condition must be avoid
ed in the orchard. Fruit needs sun
shine, not shade.
Another reason for rooin-thIn plant
ing-is the need of 1t for spraying. 1t
is impossible to apply the mixtures eff
fectively where trees are crowded.
1t may be well to plant some short
lived trees for filters, but in the end,
fifty trees per acre is enough for the
