SPRING SPRAYS
FOR PLANT LICE

The best time to kill the plant lice
infesting orchard trees and shrubbery
is just before the buds open in the
spring. Experience has proved the
lime sulphur sprays to be especially
good for the destruction of the lice
and their eggs at this time.
The best strength to use is the fol-
lowing: Good lump lime, Is pounds;
flowers of sulphur, 10 pounds; water,
SO gallons. To prepare this mixture.
first slake the lime in small quantity
of water, using enough to keep the
shaking lime thoroughly wet. When
the lime is pretty we'll slaked, put in
the sulphur and add as much more
water as Is necessary to keep the
whole OF the consistency of thin cream.
Put the kettle or the receptacle con-
tanning the mixture over the fire and
boil for forty-five minutes, or until
the liquid is of deep reddish brown
color. Then, dilute to so gallons, and
apply at once. II the mixture should
become cold, crystals will form and
weaken the insecticide for the de-
struction OF the lice and their eggs.
BY heating it again until the crystals
are dissolved it will be as good as
before. This spray should not be used
il the leaves are out.
II one does not have lime and sui.
phur at hand and can use Black Leaf,
it may be substituted, using it before
the buds open, In the proportion Of
one gallon Of the dip to each 3Ogallons
OF water. If the buds have opened SO
as to expose the leaf surfaces, then
use the Black Leaf in the proportion
of one gallon to 65 or 70 gallons of
water. The stronger mixture is for
the purpose Of destroying the eggs
that may not have Matched when the
spraying is done before the buds open.
Kerosene Emulsion of the ordinary
strength Q.15 oily is an effectual spray
for the destruction Of lice that have
matched; but it is useless for the de-
struction Of the eggs. These applica-
tions will also destroy the red spiders
and brown mites that may be upon
the trees when the treatments are
made.

THIRTEEN TONS
Fifteen Beet Beds Loaded
With Trash. the Record
OF Tin Can Day

From seven o'clock Ia the morning
tiIl two In the afternoon the boys were
Kept busy hauling In their loads OF tin
cans, wires, bottles, iron and trash OF
all kinds, and when their work was
completed, the main street OF Ordway
was lined with wagons loaded to their
utmost capacity.
II The committee had attempted to
count the cans as was the method
adopted two years ago, they would
probably be at II at this time, for it
would have been next to an impossi-
Ollity. Instead, the loads were all
weighed and the total amounted to
over thirteen tons. Think OF IL,
thirteen tons Of trash gathered up In
the back yards and alleys OF Ordway.
One would say that the amount could
not be accumulated in period Of two
years and when the fact is considered
that last year a partial cleaning was
made IL seems even more astounding.
The weather was threatening early
In the morning and II looked as though
the boys were going to have a wet
time OF IL bringing In their treasures
which have been boarded up for a
period Of ten days or more. Hay
racks, beet beds, spring wagons, carts
and wheelbarrows were employed for
conveyances and IL required every
minute OF the time allotted for some
OF them TO finish their work.

A SONG OF EYES

The poets have sung OF a woman's eyes
SINCE the days OF Mother Eve.
And every man from foolish TO wise
Has his fayorite, l believe;
But as for me-come aside, my dear,
And III whisper secret true;
Most any bright eyes will do for me
II they're only the eyes OF you!
Blue eyes, black eyes, any old eyes
will do
Hazel eyes. brown eyes or eyes OF
heavenly blue;
Ewes that are angrily flashing
Ewes with emotions clashing-
I'm sure would fall for no color at all
Ia the mischievous eyes OF you.
There are gods in the depths OF a
woman's eyes.
And a devil now and then,
And habit OF taking by surprise
That would capture the best OF men
But its not the gods that storm my
heart
Nor the devil that makes me sue
It's only the way the lovc-light shines
In the rollicking eyes Of you.

poets who sing OF the things that are
And the things that can never be!
Come wing your souls TO some distant

And the beautiful songs that they
used TO sing
Are ablaze in the eyes OF you.

SPECIAL MESSAGE ON ANTITRUST
AND INTERSTATE COMMERCE.

The jurisdiction of the general gov

called sherman antitrust law, and
the interstate commerce law" and its
amendments. The developments in the
operation of those laws. as shown by
indictments. trials. judicial decisions.
and other sources of Information, call
for discussion and some suggestions
as to amendments These I prefer 20
embody in a special message instead
of including them in the present COM
munlcation and I shall avail myself of
the first convenient opportunity to
bring these subjects to the attention of
the Congress.

Under the present system II constant
~ happens that two employees receive

CIVIL PENSION LIST.

Most OF the great industrial organlza-
tlons. and many Of the we'll conducted
railways of this country, are coming 10
the conclusion that u system Of pen-
sions. for old employees, and the sub
stltution therefor of younger and moro
energetic servants, promotes both econ
omy and efficiency of administration.
am aware that there is n strong
feeling In both houses of Congress, and
also in the country. against the estao-
lishmcnt of civil pensions. and that this
mas naturally grown out Of the heavy
burden OF military pensions. which il
has always been the policy Of our gov
crnment to assume; but | am strongly
convinced that no other practical solu~
ton of thed ifficultlcs presented by the
superannuation of civil servants can Le
ton OF the difficulties presented by the
pensions.
The business and expenditures of the
government have expanded enormously
since the Spanish war. but as the rev.
ennes have increased in nearly the same
proportion as the expenditures until re-
Gently, the attention of the public, and
of those responsible for the government
has not been fastened upon the question
of reducing the cost OF administration.
We cannot, in view of the advancing
prices of living, hope to save money by
q reduction IN the standard of salaries
paid. Indeed, if any change Is made in
that regard. an increase rather than a
decrease Will fbe necessary; and the only
means of economy will be in reducing
the number of employees and In obtain
Ing greater average of efficiency from
those retained in the service.
Close investigation and study needed
to make definite recommendations in
this regard will consume az laaSt tro
years. l note with much satisfaction
the the organization in the senate of a
committee on public expenditures,
charged with the duty OF conducting
such an investigation. and / tender to
that committee all the assistance which
the executive branch OF the govern
ment can possibly render

INJUNCTION WITHOUT NOTICE.
The platform of the successful party
in tho last election contained the fol-
lowing.
The Republican party will uphold at
all times the authority and integrity
of the courts. state and federal and
will ever insist that their powers TO
enforce their process and to protect life.
liberty and property shall be preserved
1nviolate. We believe. however that
the rules of procedure in the federal
courts with respect to the issuance OF
the wit of Injunction should be moro
accurately defined by statute. and that
no injunction or temporary restrainine
order should be issued without notice
except where irrcparablc injury would
be caused from delay. In which case a
speedy hearing thereafter should lie
granted"
[ recommend that in compliance with
the promise thus made. appropriate leg
islation be adopted. The ends of JUS
tice will best be met and tho chief
cause of complaint against ill-considered
InJunctionS without notice will be re-
moved by the enactment, of a statute
foTbidding hereafter the issuing of any
injunction or restraining order. whether
temporary or permanent, by any fed
eral court, without previous notice and
q reasonable opportunity to be heard
on behalf OF the parties to be enjoine1-
unless it shall appear to the satisfac-
ton of the court that the delay neces-
sary to give such notice and hearing
would result In irreparable injury 10
tho complainant and unless also the
court shall from the evidence make Il
written finding. which shall be spread
upon the court minutes. that immediate
and irrcparablc injury Is likely to en-
sue TO the complainant, and shall define
the injury, state why it is irreparable
and shall also endorse on the order Is
sued the date and the hour of the is
suance OF the order Moreover. every
such Injunction or restraining order
issued without previous notice and op-
portunity by the defendant to be hearc
should by force OF the statute expire
and be of no effect after seven days
from the issuance thereof or within
any time less than that period which
the court may fix, unless within such
seven days or such less period. that in
junction or order is extended or re-
newed after previous notice and op-
portunity to be heard. IA s,s4 soltfl.
My judgment is that the passage Of
such an act which really embodied the
best practise in equity and is very like
the rule now in force in some courts
viii prevent the issuing OF ill-advised
orders of injunction without notice and
viii render such orders when issued
much less Objectionable by the short
time in which they may remain efrcc-
tive.

BUSINESS OF THE
POSTOEFICE DEPARTMENT

The deficit every year in the nost-
office department is largely caused by
the low rate OF postage of IL cent n
pound charged on second class mail
matter. which includes not only neus-
papers but magazines and miscsI
laneous periodicals. The actual loss
growing out of the transmission OF tf1;s
second class mai matter at / cent a
Pound amounts TO about sos, ,OOO. .OcO a
year The average cost OF the trans
portation OF this matter is more than
cents g pound
1t appears that the average distance
over which newspapers are delivered TO
their customers is 291 miles. while tho
average haul of magazines Is 1,049, md
Of miscellaneous periodicals 1.12S miles.
HAUL OF MAGAZINES.
Thus. the average haul of the maya :
zine is three as1d one-haIf times and
that of the miscellaneous periodical
nearlX four times the haul OF the daily
newspaper, vet all OF them pay the
same pastage rate OF cent n round.
Inc statistics of 1907 show that second
class mail matter constituted 6s.9l pcr
cent of the weight of all the mail anl
yielded only SIG per cent OF the reyc-
nue.
The figures given are startling, nnl
