The Charles Mix new era. (Wagner, Charles Mix County, S.D.) 1???-1911, 1910-06-03

Charles H. Bartlett. the stalwart candidate for states attorney of
Charles Mix county, is one of the represent alive members Of the bar Of
this state and has so directed his course as to retain the confidence and
esteem of his profession and of his clients.
He was born in the city Of Hamburg, Germany, in 1874, but has pass
ed practically his entire life in the United States whittier his parents
emigrated in 1882.
In 1896 he came to this state and was connected with the law firm of
Davis Lyon & Gates, at Sioux Falls until 1899, at which time he engaged
in the practice of law for himself, where he continued to practice until he
moved to this county n year ago. In 1902 he received his license to
practice before the United States Supreme court at Washington, d. c.,
being TODAY one of the ten lawyers of this state holding this privilege.
He has demonstrated that he is an able criminal and civil lawyer having
tried many important cases, and has the name Of being a fearless, force
full advocate. He has had a large experience in other states having tried
numerous cases at Boston. Pttsburg and New York. In this county he
has tried and won numerous cases notably the well known Brady will
case. In the state he is best remembered in connection with the famous
John H. Half extraditon case which was tried before the Governor, and
in all the courts of this state including the Supreme court. District att
toney Jerome of New York City sent his desk sargent to South Dakota
twice to get Half, but o. account of the fighting procivities of Mr..
Bartlett was compelled to return home empty handed on both occasions.
Doane Robinson in his history of South Dakota says In politics Mr..
Bartlett is an uncompromRing republican taking a deep interest in the
issues and questions Of the hour. and keeping well informed on matters
of public policy Since the division of the republican party he has al
ways been and now 5 heartily in sympathy with the principles Of the stall
wart platform.
He has never sought an office being contented to devote himself to
the practice of his profession, but at the earnest solicitation Of his friends
has consented to enter the race for the office Of states attorney. II

INJURIOUS ELM.LEAF BEETLE
Prompt Action Necessary II This Pest
Is Eradicated Before Trees Are
Damaged.

No one who has elm trees infested
with beetles should trust to natural
checks to eliminate them. The trees
should be thoroughly sprayed as soon
in the season as the first sign Of
beetle feeding is seen of the leaves,
and arsenate of lead at the rate of 5
pounds in 100 gallons of water should
be applied.
1t is important that this spraying
should be prompt and very thorough,
the object being to kill off the beetles
before they lay their eggs. For this
reason the strong mixture is advised,
that it's action may be prompt and the
injury to the leaves minimized.
All beetles must feed before they
lay eggs, and there is usually period
of about two weeks between the time
when the first beetles are seen on
tn j, leaves and the time when the first
egg mass is noticed. Earlier spraying
is not advised because the foliage in
creases in size so rapidly at this Pc
riod that leaves sprayed when half.
grown may be very imperfectly COW

A Boating Dinner.

This dinner was given by coterie
of four couples who had passed great
part of the summer together yachting
on the great lakes. The occasion was
in the nature of little farewell to the
one they called commodore" The
table was lovely and had for the CEN
ter lake made first by the tinsmith,
who concocted a circle about three
feet in circumference, which was sur
rounded with a border of ferns, vines
and pond lilies. In the water two
sail boats and toy launch floated as
natural as life, manned by cute doll
sailors. To add to the festive appear
ance there was huge Japanese UNI
brella over the table, from which
small lanterns hung from every rib;
they were lighted by electric lamps.
At each place there was tiny canoe,
with very small Jap lantern at the
bow. The name of the guest was let
tered on the side. Wee paddles paint
ed white were stacked bayonet fashion
at each place and held a small pail of
bon-bons. The name flag Of the boats
were around the room with the Union
Jack and the Stars and Stripes. The
guests were asked to come in flannels
and 1t was just the jolliest kind Of a
time. The menu was as nautical as the
market could afford, beginning with
oysters, fish, lobster salad, etc.

GROWING THE CATALPA TREE
Will Be Big Enough for Telephone
Poles or Fence Posts in About
Fifteen Years.

Going in for catalpa grove next
spring? These trees will grow into
telephone poles and fence posts in
about fifteen years. An acre Of ground
will produce from 5000 to 1000 fence
posts and such posts are now worth
about 18 cents each. In fifteen years
they will probably bring twice as
much, as timber is becoming more
scarce every year. One year old trees
are the best to plant. Be sure they
are all healthy and come not too far
from home. Buy none but the va
riety known as "Speciosa." You will
have to pay about $40 per 1000 for
good trees.
The ground should be plowed and
put in as good condition as for corn.
The rows ought to be about eight feet
apart and perfectly straight. Use a
corn marker to set them just right.
After they get good start cut them
back nearly to the ground. Don't be
afraid to cut, as they will be all the
stronger for the pruning. On good
soil where trees are not too much
crowded they will grow from five to
seven feet the first year. Some of the
railroads are going into catalpa grow
ing to get supply of good trees, but
there is not much danger Of overdo-
ing the busines'

WHEN TO PLANT EvERGREENS
Early In Spring Just When
Seasons Start.

A New Jersey farmer writes to know
whether 1t will be safe to plant ever
green's in August.
The best time to plant evergreens
is early in the spring just when the
new seasons growth is starting. 1t
Is mistake to plant too early and II
the planting is delayed until June the
trees are not apt to do we'll unless
frequently watered and mulched dur
ing the summer months.
Some planting is done in August,
but we do not believe the inexperi-
enced can make their trees grow when
planted so late.
Nurseries frequently put out their
evergreens in July and August but
more from necessity than choice be-
cause they are too busy during the
spring months to do the work.
When evergreens are planted late
they should be thoroughly watered
and a dust mulch maintained around
the roots until winter sets in.
1t is difficult to tell by the looks of
the trees whether they survive during
the late summer months or not as
very often they retain their verdure
some time after they are dead.
In the spring trees that die turn
brown within two or three weeks.
The time to plant evergreens, is, in
our opinion, in the spring and we
see not reason why fall planting
should be resorted to unless through
necessity.

Elm.Leaf Beetle.

cred week later when the beetles
feed, and the application will not be
as effective.
Spraying against the adult beetle
rather than it's larva is further urged
because the beetle eats the entire leaf
tissue and therefore gets the poison
whether it is on the upper or under
surface. The larva eats only the cells
of the under side and scrapes to the
middle only. In consequence any leaf
not covered on the under side may
mature a dozen larvae unframed,
even though the upper surface may be
uniformly and effectively coated.
When we have large trees to deal with
the problem of hitting the underside
of every leaf becomes an almost i'm
possible one to solve, while merely
covering every leaf on one side or the
other is a comparatively simple mat
ter. DR.. L. O. Howard obtained from
Montpelier shipment Of a minute
parasitic wasp, Tetrastichus xantho-
melaenae, which seems to be very
effective in keeping down this shade

Finally Opened Safe.

They have new fireproof and bur-
glar-proof room for department records
at fire headquarters in New York. Com
missioner Waldo wanted a certain
record the other day and sent a clerk
for it, relates the Sun. The clerk
couldn't open the steel door, and the
lock had got out of commission. He
tinkered at it for an hour, while the
head of the department waited. Send
down to the Yorkville court and get

locksmith was sent for instead. He
worked at it for two hours, but could
not open It, Then he did as a bur-
glar might do. He drilled holes
around the lock and got the door open.
