TIME FOR TRIM.
MING TREES IS NOW
But Before You Do it, Read the
Following Brief Article so
You VIII Know Just How to
go About the Work and not
lnjure the Trees.

It's all right to trim trees now.
Sap is down and the bleeding cam
not occur. But don't allow any ar
boreal butchery. Have the work done
right-and here is how:
L. Cut branches close to the trunk
and parallel with it. Do not leave
stub. The sap nuns i'll direct cur
rents, just under the bark, along the
trunk to the leaves and back to the
roots. If leaves are cut off the cir
culatlon stops; and as there are no
leaves left on the stub, the sap-flow
stops, and there can be no healing
2. Cut off no branches larger than
one inch in diameter, close to the
trunk until it has been first sever
ed farther out-from six inches to
one foot This prevents the peeling
down of bark just under the wound
which even light branch may cause
Always using sharp saw and never
an axe.
3. Be sure the wound is clean. Be
sure that all decayed matter is re-
moved. Paint well with ordinary
white lead or coal tar and renew
from time to time until the wound lis
healed. Cavities should be cleaned
out carefully all deal matter being
removed and filled with a mixture
of Portland cement and sand in the
same manner that a dentist fills a
tooth.
4. July and August are preferred
as time for trimming because the
tree is in condition to heal it's wound
most quickly. Next in the order of
preference come the winter months.
EARLY spring, when the sap is rising
from the roots, is the worst time.

.LAUDS GRAND
RAPIDS FEDERATION
Contributed,

Miss Lutte Stearns of Milwaukee
had great praise for the Grand Rap
ids Federation when she addressed
them at their last meeting Tuesday
Sept. 6.
She opened her address by saying,
that Grand Rapids has the best Fed
eratiOn in the state. She said she
loved to come to Grand Rapids be
cause each time she came she saw
some new Improvement. She could
see that our Federation was contin-
ually active and that it was accom-
pishing great results.
She spoke at length and with much
admiration of the Consolidated Park.
She thought it such splendid thing
for a corporation to do, and said it
was the greatest reputation to what
one called a rsoulIess corporation that
could be made. Miss Stearns gave
many valuable suggestions as to what
she hoped we would gain from Car
negie Library-how it might be US
ed for an Auditoriunl-and many sug-
gestions for inspiring the youth Of
the city to read the best literature
which she says is being sadly ne
elected by the people, old and young,
of the present day
Miss Stearn's address was exceed
ingly pleasing and by her laudatory
remarks to the improving city, made
the ladies of the Federation very
happy.
We all know the Federation is ac-
complishing great results for our city
and is a splendid rganiZation-but
to be appreciated and commended by
an outsider who has OOOOrtunitv 10
observe its operations from an
unbiased standpoint is a matter OF
great congratulation to the ladies an6
they feel highly pleased at this ap-
preciation

land, lying between Wickham's ad-
dition and the Wisconsin river on

every part of our city. This is a
healthy indication of our prosperity
and growth.

MRS. {. GARDNER
GRAND MATRON
Of WISCONSIN

The following article was published
In the lest issue of the Masonic
Ildlngs, Milwaukee, in connection
with write-up of Mrs Washburn
Most Worthy Grand Matron of the
United States:
Sister Rachel Delany Gardner,
Grand Matron of Wisconsin. was
born at Elmira, New York, Septem-
Der 9th, 1851, and came with her fam
lily and located first in Columbia coun
ty, Wisconsin, in 1854 After fin
lshlng her course in the district school
she entered the high school at Por-
tage and after graduation taught schoo
for number of terms in Columbia
County.
In 1873 Sister Gardner was mar
ried to Brother George r. Gardner
a practicing attorney in Grand Rap
ids, Wisconsin, where she has re-.
sided since her marriage and since
Brother Gardeners death in 1897.
Sister Gardner was initiated i'm the
Order of the Eastern Star in. 1901,
was elected Associate Matron of
Rainbow Chapter, No. 81, In 1902,
and Worthy Matron in 1904. In 1906
she was elected and installed Asso-
NIIdUQ
Chapter, Grand Conductress in 1907,
Associate Grand Matron in 1908, and
Grand Matron in 1909, beginning at
the lowest round of the ladder she has
by her steady purpose and attach
ment to our beloved Order reached
the highest and most honorable office
LII the gift of ner sisters and brothers
AS Grand Matron she has fully
met every expectation and is admins
terlng the affairs of the responsible
office with credit to herself and for
The welfare of the Order
At home, of course, is where the
"seamy side of life is always OUT
and We cannot speak of our good
sister only from what we hear others
say of her, as we have never met
her In her own home but from re-
liable information we can say that
our Grand Matron is just as good a
woman at home as abroad, which is
to say much. 1t is said of her that
she is of kindly impulses and gener-
Gus to a fault, and that she is very
kindly disposed to help others is evil
dent from the interest she manifests
In the Eastern Star Home which is
yet In an embryotic state, but bes.
OF all the funds are at hand when the
proper time presents itself to launch
the project and our Grand Matron has
manifested the right spirit and the
desire to do something.
Sister Gardner will have occupied
the position of Grand Matron longer
than any of her predecessors for the
reason that the date of the next
annual meeting is October 9Th, 1910
and she was elected in February 1909
making the tenure of all the Grand
Chapter officers eighteen months in
stead of twelve as heretofore, aid it
m*y be many years before change
is again made in the meeting of
Grand Chapter We believe the
change of time of meeting a good
one as February is usually stormy,
disagreeable month, while October
is usually one of the beauty months
OF the year.
The Tidings wishes our Grand Ma
tron as good success for the remain
der of her long term of office as she
has had up to this time,-that char
ity and lowing kindness may always
be the distinguishing characteristics,
of our beautiful Order.

BASEBALL SEASON CLOSES

On Wednesday Sept IA, the base
ball season closed in this city which
marked the closing of the most sue
cessful season Grand Rapids has eV-
er had. The two games Saturday AM
Sunday were fast and furious and
both resulted in victories for Grand
Rapids, 81, 10 respectively. The game
with the Wausau league were very
interesting especially the first two
which were 81 in favor of Wausau
and AZ in favor of Grand Rapids.
The last game however was not Sc
exciting as our boys especially our
pitcher were tired out, and could not
make much of showing, thus the
game ended in another victory for
Wausau 9-3 The Grand Rapids team
has played thirty games this season
and lost but six, giving them per
centage of 500 for the season which
is higher than the league teams fl
nish no matter how fast they may
be,

VIM. HO0PER'S STORE
BUILDING CATCHES FIRE

About II o'clock Friday a. IN. W.
Hooper's store in Nekoosa was dis
covered to be on fire and it was
burning under the front part of the
store. 1t had quite start before
it was discovered. It is supposed
to have started from cigar stub
which was thrown away and lodged
between the front of the store build
ing and steps. The fire was ex-
tinguished before it had time to do
much damage. The firemen did con-
siderable damage in getting at the
seat of the fire.
