CROOKED FRUIT TREES.
They Are as Good as Straight Ones
il They Bear Well.

When | started my fruit farm | hao
but little money says a writer In
Green's Fruit Grower Therefore
planted cherry orchard with crooked
trees possibly having in mind the
old crooked apple tree of my child
hood, which bore such beautiful fruit
in abundance. That cherry orchard
composed of crooked trees was my
constant delight and proved a success
IN every way. The trees were not re-
markably crooked, but they were not
straight enough to be sold for first
class trees. After the trees had grown
in the orchard five or 10 years they
became as straight as any trees that
could be found. No one would have
thought in later years that these trees
had ever been crooked.
In buying trees there are other con.
siderations of greater value than the
straightEess of the trunks, which so
many planters value so highly The
question as to whether the trees are
true to name is of greater Importance
than straightness and beauty Whether
the trees have been properly protected
and cared for by the nurseryman who
grew them, is another important ques-
ton that many planters do not con-
slider Whether the trees are properly
packed and protected for shipment is
another important fact. There are
some varieties of apple, pear and plum
which are not inclined to grow
straight Among these is the Rhode Is
land greening apple, which invariably
is crooked or bent in the trunk. | have
seen blocks OF 10000 greetings and
nearly every one of them had a crook
or bend in it's trunk like a bow-legged
boy.
Some buyers Of trees insist upon
each tree being as straight as walk
Ing cane without seeming to regard
the fact that some varieties cannot
be grown as straight as others, no
matter how careful the nurseryman
may be. The Bose and winter Nelis
pears do not often grow straight. Val
liable varieties of apple, pear and
plum are often discarded by nursery.
men for the reason that their patrons
insist upon having every tree abso-
lutely straight, when the nurseryman
snows that these valuable varieties
cannot be depended upon to make
straight trees.

D'AUBLY VERDICT
EXPECTED TOMORROW

Paris, Jan. ia verdict is ex-
pected tomorrow in the case of the
Count" d'Auhly de Gatingy, charged
with swindling Mrs. Charles Hamil-
ton Payne, of Boston, now the Ouch
ess de Choiseul-Paslin, out of $780,
600 through the sale of fraudulent
"od masters"
In its original form the suit was
brought by the duchess, but she with
drew from the case and the govern
ment continued the prosecution. In
his arguments for the defense, Mai
ire Bernard, chief counsel for the
bogus nobleman, alleged that the
Duchess had been influenced in
bringing the suit by the desire to
regain possession of compromising
letters she had written to d'Aulby..
The attorney insisted that this was
amply proven by the fact. that the
Duchess had withdrawn from the
case Immediately upon her recovery
OF the famous packet of amatory
epistles. M. Bernard also insisted
that d'Aulby is really a count and
that he will prove his title of nobili-
ty when he is released from prison.
The case was tried at Tours. where
d'Aulby has been confined since his
arrest at the instigation of the Bos-
ton woman.

But If the voters OF 1912 do elect
pledged candidates and they are
trustworthy, the people will win
everything. The delegates to the
county conventions will vote only
for progressive delegates to the state
conventions and the congressional
conventions, and in these conven-
lions the delegates will vote only for
pledged progressive delegates to the
national conventions.
The state and national conventions
OF both the two great parties can, be
carried for the progressive cause. In
Wisconsin, PENNSYLVANIA and some of
the southern states, the delegates to
the national convention are directly
elected. In Oregon as the result OF
a law enacted by the voters in 1910,
they have authorized themselves to
vote direct on presidential, candi-
dates, the will Of the majority in
each party being an instruction to
the delegates of the National conyen-
DION. These delegates are directly
elected In Texas a law was enacted
m 1904 authorizing the voters at
the primaries to vote direct on the is
sues, including presidential candi-
dates. In Alabama in 1908 the yot-
srs at the Democratic primaries voted
direct. on two democratic presiden-
tial candidates. Mr.. Bryan and Cover
nor Johnson
1t Is clear that there is a method
whereby we, the progressives in the
United States, who possess nine
tenths OF the votes. can control the
state and national conventions of
both great parties.
In 1908 the members OF the DEM
eeratic party in more than two
thirds Of the states actually did con-
troll the state conventions and the
national convention. The progress
sive democrats accomplished this by
pledging themselves in advance to
attend the election within their par
u and vote only for pledged progress
siye delegates. For nearly two years
Mr.. Bryan published in The Com
noner a blank pledge for voters and
The program won the day. 1t won be
cause the progressive democrats
throughout the entire country were
agreed upon one man, Mr.. Bryan.
But now there is no such unity OF
settlement in either party. The way
out Is to use the preliminary posta>
vote and ascertain first choice, sec
ond choice and third choice for the
presidential nominees, and to pledge
the delegates to at least three choices
In order that you may know an6
teel that the tremendously great
change can be accomplished as the
result OF mere voluntary agreement
and combined action by the progress
ssives themselves, you must realize
chat the rule of the few through mer
