The entire sulphur Springs valley

hours after the rain the valley west
OF Douglas was still under water and
the bitches along the railroad were

SUPREME TEST
COMES IN OHIO
G.O.P.P POLITICS
Republicans Will Make a Great
Effort to Defeat the Present
Governor JudSOn Harmon
at the Polls.

COLUMBUS. o.. July 25.-Repre-
sentative republicans from all parts
of Ohio are gathering here today for
the state convention of the party,
which will assemble tomorrow TO
nominate a state ticket and adopt
a platform for the fall campaign. The
large number of early arrivals on the
field indicates a record breaking at
tendance OF visitors and reflects the
extraordinary amount OF public in
terest attached to the convention
this year.
The importance attached to the
convention in Ohio is due to two
principal causes. The first is that
the president OF the United States,
and the titular head Of the party in
power, comes from this state. Then.
as a second reason. the republican
leaders Of the state recognize the
necessity Of defeating Judson Har-
mon for another term as governor in
order that he may not become a for
midable figure for the democratic
presidential nomination In 1912. Gov
ernor Harmon has already been re-
nominated and if he should be re-
elected, he would undoubtedly be a
strong figure at the next democratic
presidential campaign with William
H. Taft Of Ohio and Judson Harmon
Of Ohio leading the two tickets. es-
peeially if Harmon should be made
governor twice. So they are bent
on accomplishing his political down
fall in time.
For nearly a year the parry lead
ers have been on the hunt for a man
to defeat Harmon. During that time
the names of a dozen or more repub-
licans have been mentioned in con-
nection with the head of the ticket
and later counted cut. Representa-
tive Nicholas Longworth. ex-Secre-
tary Of the Interior James r. Gar

Prescott Man Tells the Facts
in Connection With Recent
Democratic Committee
Meeting in That City,
ARIZONA start

The Star is in receipt Of a commu-
nication from j. Sanders of Prescott,
bearing on the meeting of the demo
cratic territorial central committee in
that city on the 10th. Mr.. Sanders
says:
AT the request OF the members OF
the territorial democratic central
committee who favored making a par
ty fight for democratic delegates and
democratic principles for the consti-
tutional convention and who attended
the caucus and meeting OF that COM
mittee in this city on the 18th and
18th inst, l am favoring your paper
with this report of how the delegates
stood and acted. This is done fer
the purpose of correcting a false i'm
preston that is being made by ar
ticles now being published in Phoe-
nix papers"
The communication from Mr.. San
ders relating to the Prescott meeting
follows:
The meeting OF the democratic
central committee held in Prescott
on the evening of the 18th inst. was
called to determine the policy to be
pursued in regard to delegates to the
constitutional convention. The ques-
ton arose whether the democrats
would elect democrats all along the
line or fuse with the republicans in
non-partisan convention. At eau
Gus held the evening previous in the
parlors OF the ST. Michael hotel,
Frank Cox, Mark Smith, Col. Wilson,
Col. Breathitt, Judge Hawkins. Reese
Ling. Judge Andrews and T. c. Nor
ris favored sending a non-partissz
delegation to frame the constitution.
Hon. Eugene S. Ives, Hon. NJ. G.
Burns, Hon. Henry F. Ashurst, n. A.
vyne. P. w. O'Sullivan and J. e
Russell took the view that the demo
Gratis should fight all along the line
for a solid democratic delegation to
the convention. Senator Ives took
the floor and made a strong plea for
a democratic fight for democratic
principles. Joe Dillon and Johnny
Robinson both took the stand that
we should fight for democratic prin
ciples and a democratic delegation.
"Ail this talk in some newspapers
about corporation influence is the
veriest bosh. FaEoring a non-parti
san delegation and fusion with tbs
republicans we find Frank Cox, o.
the Southern Pacific. and fighting FOR
a party fight all along the line. We
find E S. Ives, the attorney OF tht

TREAT GIRDLED FRUIT TREES
Where Rabbits Have Removed Large
Patches Of Bark Bridge Graft
Ing May Be Used.

Rabbits have seriously injured fruit
trees in many orchards by girdling
this winter. Pref. J. G. Moore of the
college of agriculture of the University
Of Wisconsin says that when the
girdle is only three or four inches
wide the tree may be saved by bridge
grating. Trees with large patches of
bark removed entirely around the
trunk can not be. successfully treated,
though those not too badly injured
may be saved by special treatment.
Bridge grating should be done in
early spring. scions from healthy
trees being selected. from twigs pro-
duced last season The torn edges Of
the wound should be cut off smooth,
and all badly loosened bark removed.
The scion should be cut half or
three-quarters of an inch longer than
the wound, and the ends of the scions
pointed.
The scion may then be inserted un-
der the edge of the bark, care being
taken to have the cut on the scion
made rather slanting, to give consid-
cradle space for it to unite with the
bark of the tree Several of these
scions should be put in around the
tree at intervals of not more than

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

Sow a little SCOT and lime around
the violet plants if slugs or snails are
troublesome.
! Small fruit plants should always be
set and kept so that they can be
easily cultivated.
Many insect pests can be fought
the most successfully only at certain
definite times or periods.
Without vigorous wood growth,
regular crops of fruit of desirable
quality are rarely obtained.
Arkansas Black and Stayman are
seedlings of the old Winesap and are
| improvements on the original.
Spraying is an operation that can
rarely be put off or postponed If the
best results are to be obtained.
Palms are almost all at rest and a
moderate amount of water at the
roots, spraying and heat are in order.
| 1t is a serious mistake to set trees
| too deeply because the roots are more
apt to rot than If planted reasonably
near the surface.
Where rhubarb is wanted early
without lifting or forcing, good thick
ness of strawy manure laid over the
crowns will forward it some.
| Burning is a good way of disposing
Of any weed infested soil and rubbish
of like nature. The resulting ashes
| form a most useful fertilizer
SCOT water, clarified and used regu-
larly in a dilute state, is about the
best stimulant for foliage plants, i'm

and having secured it, to keep what
is needed for life and growth. This
water is used in two quite different
ways; first, it is one Of the principal
materials necessary for making food,
and second. it is used to dilute the
food to moisten the tissues of the
plant, make them flexible, and finally
to supply means of communication
from one part of the plant to another.
This water way in the plant is more
important as a highway of travel than
are oceans, rivers, lakes and canals to
the commerce Of the world Only
when dissolved in water can the plant
take in any substance from without or
move anything within itself.
Some plants live directly in the wa
ter and they are not troubled about
getting all the water they need, but
far larger number are rooted in the
soil and often in soil with only a
moderate amount OF water This water
surrounds each tiny bit Of sand or
particle of loan as thin coating, but
in good mellow soil, there is no water
between the soil particles. The water
has dissolved some of the soil, and so
has various compounds in solution.
How is the plant to get this water and
these compounds away from the soil?
Examine the roots and note how
they run in every direction, branching
repeatedly and forming network on
every side of the plant. Cut the plant
down and measure it's length upon the
ground and often the roots will be
found to extend more than the length
of the plant The smallest rootlets
reach almost everywhere within this
radius unless they are crowded out by
those of other plants. A microscope
is needed to see the finer divisions,
but If the soil be carefully washed off
a rootlet and thin cross section cut
through it, when enlarged it will be
found that from many of the outside
cells slender hairs, as fine as cob
webs and perhaps sixteenth of an
inch long, run out from it in every
direction.

acter most useful in distinguishing the
plant is the leaf habit. From the top
of an upright stem there spring three
compound leaves each composed Of
five leaflets, the two nearest the petit
ole being much smaller than the
others, as may be seen by reference to
our illustration. The flower cluster
springs from between the leaves and
takes the form of an umbel The
flowers are small and greenish and are
followed by bright red berries. The
root is thickened and variously
branched, the form said to be most

hem, often have greeted more than
500 guests, but $50 appears to be the
new number.
1t was not until about midnight
that the guests began to gasp with
establishment. Then the cotillon be-
gan and the favors appeared. The
most costly of these were the French
parasols presented to the women.
They had been made to order and
were hand carved upon the finest OF
woods. with long handles and of silk
of every color
Guests never estimate the cost of
such trifes, but few outsiders val
ued the parasols at $50 each.
Both men and women were provided
with pompadour ribbon scarfs and
sashes fringed with gold and silver,
and as quickly as they were wound
about the shoulders of the dancers
the ballroom became a Kaleidoscope
of color at SIS per color.
Brass bells were among the favors
given the men and they were kept
ringing merrily so that at times the
orchestras had difficulty in letting it
be known that they still were at
work. The Gardenia boutonnieres
given the men were artificial, but they
were perfumed in manner to put ma.
ture to the test to keep even.
The directoire mirrors that were
among the favors for the women were
two feet in length, the handles of sat
inwood, and with rs of them flashing
back the lights of the ballroom from
all angles they provided a figure OF
dazzling brilliancy.
If there were men present who
never smoked a pipe they must have
been tempted by the splendid combi.
nation of briar, gold and amber pre-.
scented to them, with gold matchboxes
and a gilt f1ashlight to complete the
outfit. Those who insist upon moth.
ing but cigars were delighted with a
novel gilt cigar lighter.
One of the last figures provided the
men with bronze desk rulers and pa.
per weights as a possible reminder
that there might be work to do at
some future time, while at the same
time the women received bridge
scores as a possible reminder that
they cannot win all the time.
Supper time found all the large
tables used for dinner gone and in
their stead were dozens of little tete.
a-tete tables scattered about the cor.
ridors, with walters ready to inform
guests that a breakfast would be
served later. if desired.
