Booster Day.

The Rock Island Baseball asso-
citation at its adjourned meeting in
the parlors of the New Harper last
evening decided to continue in the
Three-Eye league throughout the
season. 1t was the work that had
been done to assist the association
in its financial difficulties, following
the business mems petition received
at the meeting a week prior. asking
that final action be deferred that
prompted the association in its de-
termination to continue baseball in
Rock Island. This with the spirit
of enthusiasm and loyalty to the
home club everywhere manifest en-
couraged the owners OF the fran.
chise to hang on to it, sink or swim.
The report of the canvass for
funds made by a. d. Sperry and f.
T. Dolly showed that sufficient net
subscriptions had been made to In.
sure the acceptance Of the Tri-City
Railway and Peoples Power COM
pany donations. provided $500 more
can be realized at the booster Gay
event in the near future.
BOOSTER DAY.
A. d. Sperry and E. T. Dolly
submitted the booster day propo-
sition which the club accepted. The
club directors, however, will have
nothing to do with the planning Of TIE
affair other than the fixing of the date.
Interested fans are to take complete
charge of the selling of the tickets
which are to be disposed of at the rate
of so cents apiece, it being believed
that this price would prove a popuia:
one. In all probability a committee
will be vested with authority TO az
point ticket sellers throughout the
city so that a thorough canvass car
be made. The promoters of the scheme
expect to realize between $500 and 81
900 from the sale of the tickets. II il
probable that the Booster day game
will be played sometime near the end
of this month. That will allow plenty
of time for the sale of tickets.

Raspberries should occupy the

This in the large commercial planta,
lions, even where the grass-mulch
method of culture is practiced: for
the commercial planter generally
takes into consideration the various
sources of danger and makes provi-
sion to meet these with effective
means of protection. With the aver
age home orchard the danger is great
er than in the large plantation. and
the possible means Of protection more
generally disregarded or overlooked.
II young trees be girdled in late
spring Just as growth is beginning,
they may be successfully treated by
binding about the wounded parts q
heavy covering Of smooth tenacious
soft clay. A new bark will sometimes
form beneath the clay II the inner
bark or cambium be not entirely de-
stroyed. It is safer, however. to in
sert few long scions.
This is called "bridge-grafting."
The sap circulation of the tree, cut of
by the wound made by the rodents, Is
resumed through the scions which be-
come a part of the tree enlarging
and growing together until, in after
years, only slight enlargement or
bulge" on the trunk Of the tree thus
treated will be noticeable.
In bridge-grafting, the wounds
should be made clean and smooth
with sharp knife and covered en-
tirely with grating wax. The scions
should be cut trifie longer than the
span to be bridged so that when they
are inserted. their curving form will
tend to keep them firmly fixed in po-
sition. The two ends of the scions
are cut to thin. wedge form. Incl,
sions are made in the bark with .
narrow chisel-those above the wound
sloping upward and those below slop-
ing downward. Insert the scions firm

cial care being exercised to press Ahe

To make grating wax melt togeth-
er four parts. (by weight) of resin,
two parts Of beeswax and one part of
tallow. Pour the mixture into a pail
Or tub of cold water. As the mass
begins to cool SO that 1t can be ham
died, grease the hands with tallow and
pull and work the lump Of wax until
1t becomes quite light in color. Form
into small balls or sticks for convent
ent use. This wax will keep in good
condition indefinitely.

The question Of reciprocal trade re-

the fact which It is we'll to face, that

This article IL intended to point out
to those who may wish to become OF

During the past year the omcial flg-

greatest majority Of these have settled
