JUDGE CRuMPACKER
ANSWERS G. A. R.
Promises To Do What He
Can To Bring About
Pension Plan.

Congressman Crumpacker in answer
to the petition forwarded him by the
members of the w H Calkins G. A. r.
post, has sent the following letter to
EDWARD G. Weeks, the latter having
the petition which asked for
a dollar a day pension.
Washington. d. c.. June o.
Mr. Edward c. Weeks. Hammond,
Ind My Dear Sir: l have your let
ter of the goth inst enclosing a Pc
tition signed by large number of
members of W. H. CaIkins Post, G.
A. r. at Hammond. requesting the
enactment of a dollar day PEN
sion law for veterans of the civil
war. 1 will refer your petition to
the committee on Invalid Pensions
for consideration. I am and have
been for seevral years in favor of
a dollar a day pension for civil
war veterans and have been ready
at all times to support a bill OF
that kind whenever I had an OPP
portunity to do so.
Under the rules of the house,
however. no bill can be considered
in the house until 1t has been re-
ferred to the proper committee ans
reported back for action. There are
ten or twelve dollar -a-day pension
bills pending with the committee on
Invalid Pensions, but that commit
tee has failed so far to report any
one of these bills. and it is not at
all likely that any such a bill will
be reported now. because 1t is TOO
late in the session. I am not a
member of the Invalid Pensions and
therefore. am not responsible for
the failure of that committee to
give congress san opportunity to
act upon one OF those measures. I
hope under a new rule that was
adopted in the house a few days
ago, that early in the next session
of congress we will be able to get
up one of the dollar-a-day pension
bills. I will do my best to bring
it about
With best wishes. 7 am sincere
ly yours,
.E. D. CRUMPACKER"

MAPLE TREES HURT
BY COTTON SCALE"
Hammond Manufacturers
Forced To Spray Trees
To Save Them.

Maple trees in Hammond have be-
come infested with what is known as
the cotton scale" w. B. Conkey of
the w. b Conkey Co. was the first to
discover the fact, and is now spraying
The all of his trees to save them
from destruction
The cotton scale may be recognized
by little balls of cotton which are
attached to the leaves of the trees.
These little balls are cocoons contain
thousands of eggs. which will soon
hatch and the trees will then be COW
cred with green worms.
These worms attack the tender places
in the leaves of the trees. and by TAX
ing out the sap kill the leaves The
only way the trees can be saved is
to spray them with a solution of kero-
sene. soap and water.
Several years ago the cotton scale
attacked the soft maple trees in Lin
coin park and a number of them were
killed before steps were taken to save
them
1t is believed that the trees in Harri-
son park and on the residential streets
in Hammond will be killed unless
steps are taken at once to have them
sprayed.
The spray that is used by W. e.
Conkey is composed of one pound of
soap, three gallons of kerosene and one
gallon of water, used as a 10 per cent
solution
