Saturday Globe: When Hon A. F.

His brother John Hambleton, a resi-
dent of Des Moines, brought it down
to later train, and in hasty search
for some one to bring the bag to Os

sioner, w. F. McVey, of New Sharon,
saying, rs this Mr.. DEWITT" Mac"

Mr.. Dewitt" He assured Mr.. Ham
bletOn, of Des Moines, however, that
he would see that the wandering grip
was safely landed in OskalOOsa. Mr..
McVey then hunted up Mr.. Dewitt
and after apologiZing to him for the
case of mistaken identity, returned
to Mr.. Hambleton with the remark,

dent was memorable because OF. the
wagon. The Hambleton boys had a
little wagon with wheels made same

with spokes, fellys and tires. Thus
the wagon became notable among the
other boys of the village, for it was

STRANGE STORY
Peculiar Dropping Tree Has Inter

Introduction Into Europe

This peculiar dropping tree has q
strangely interesting history regarding
its introduction into Europe and Amer
lea. This was after Alexander Pope
had builded a home on the Thames
river in England. At that time he re-
ceived from a friend in Smyrna drum
of figs, and with 1t there happened to
be a small twig that greatly excited
the poets curiosity-so much so that
he stuck It into the ground by the
rivers bank.
The little tree rooted and soon grew,
to the delight Of Pope. 1t was the an
cestor of all those that have since
lived both in Europe and America.
In ITS young British officer going
to Boston, Mass, took along with him,
very carefully wrapped in oil silk, a
ltwig from the genuine Pope willow"
and gave the precious twig to Mr.. Cur
It's, stepson of General Washington.
Mr.. Curtis planted it near his home in
Virginia. There the twig took kindly
to the soil, growing vigorously. 1t was
child of "Pope's Willow" the first
one to strike root In America. Later,
in 1890, General Gates also put out a
twig on his farm on Manhattan is

the result of eating a single portion
may be shocking. If this comes to
pass just blame Mr. insult.
There are three kinds of farming,
as you probably don't know, unless you
have had fling at 1t. The first grade
is the common or garden variety as
practised by our forbears. Then there
is the up-to-date, rotation-in-crops, APP

And another Then there is the ad-

Here is the recipe for electrical veg

wires across the patch at height Of
six feet. Turn on Commonwealth Edi-

grow.
The electric current feeds itself into

Thomas Edison are about to fall upon
the fertile fields of Lake county.
Thanks to the enterprise of Samuel In
sull, who has several considerable
vegetable patches in the county adj
joining Cook, the garden fields are to
have an electric treatment.
When not working on his turnip
patch, Mr. insult is president of the
Commonwealth Edison company. He
has also much to do with Lake county
electrical enterprises. They have cleo
tricity to burn. This may have some
thing to do with the experiment in
gardening which the insult friends,
and they are legion, declare he is
about to perpetrate on county whose
farmers have always been respectfully
conservative. You see, to the presi-
dent of an electric company the light

HHICAGO.-Several hundred Chicago
- Kellys have received letters re-
Gently informing them that they are
descendants of ancient Irish kings, and
for the modest sum of one dollar they
will be sent the famous Kelly coat of
arms. ........
The letters are sent out by a Phila-
delphfa concern that makes business
of looking up family trees" and the
Kellys all over the United States are
receiving the glad news. ., ...
The discovery that Kelly was
once king of Ireland was made by a
representative of the Philadelphia con-
Germ after years of research in the IL
braries of Dublin, Cork and Belfast"
The ancestral coat of arms is some
thing that every Kelly should have
according to the letter-and as there
are only a few thousand left, it be-
hooves Kelly to remit his one dollar
without delay.
The letter in part is as follows:
Mr.. Kelly-Dear Sir: We have just
received from our agent in Dublin a
rare old engraving of the coat of arms
of the Kelly family. We are now pro-
ducing this for framing and printing a
pamphlet, describing 1t and giving the
lineal descent of the first Kelly from
Heremon, first king of Ireland, and
through long line of Irish monarchs.

the unsprayed plots the picked fruit
free from worms is found to average
only az per cent. of the total crop,
while on all sprayed plots it averages
70 per cent, a difference of q per
cent. Of the total crop. Thus gain
of about one-fourth of the crop seems
to be fair average of the actual ben
eft to be derived from spraying, If we
base our estimates upon the total fruit
borne by the tree. This would mean
that on a sprayed tree which picked
three barrels of fruit. one barrels Of
perfect fruit, worth 81 to $1.25 net,
had been gained by the spraying.
If the difference in amount of per-
feet picked fruit was based on the
picked fruit only, leaving the drops
out of consideration, the benefit would
appear to be only about three-fourths

BENEFIT DERIVED FROM
SPRAYING FRUIT TREES
Average Conditions One
Fourth OF Total Fruit Is Saved
. Some Statistics.

The orchard owner is chiefly inter-
ested in the effect of spraying on the
amount of picked fruit free from
worms. In most cases the value of
spraying was due to reducing the
amount of wormy windfalls. or. in 9TH
er words. preventing worminess so
that the fruit remained on the tree
On the unsprayed trees an average OF
rs per cent. of the total fruit dropped
as wormy, and 1867 per cent was
wormy when picked.
In the four orchards in 1908, about
2S per cent Of the total fruit was
wormy drops on the unsprayed trees
and five per cent. on the sprayed
trees.
An average of all the sprayed plots
shows that of the total crop of fruit
on any tree, AZ per cent drops as
wormy and Al per cent. is wormy
picked.
Subtracting the percentage which
drops plus the percentage which is
wormy when picked from 100, gives
the percentage of the total crop which
is picked free from worms, which is
the essential matter for the fruit
grower, says bulletin of the New
Hampshire experiment station. On

Another set about town among

Several well-known women physi-

cord, they replied that the habit was
general among society women only.

A well-known suffragist was asked
whether a desire to vote on wom-
ans part went with the habit of ciga-
rette smoking. She was indignant
and declared very few Baltimore suf-
fragists smoke, and, anyhow, those
who do did it before they became
suffragists." ...
A well-known physician living on

might not hurt the woman, he con

was "kissable" who smoked. He was
