when the committee adjourned, his
story had not been completed.
Whites testimony followed in out
line that given at the first Lori
mer investigation by the senate.
Attorney Marble, for the commit
tee, allowed the witness, however,
to tell many details not mentioned
by that hearing, but published in
Whites so-called confession in the
Chicago Tribune.
Seemingly unperturbed and with
out qualification, White told of be
ing asked by Lee O'Neil Browne,
minority leader in the legislature,
to vote for Lorimer and of being
told by Browne that there would
be no chicken feed in it, either 3"
He described in detail the alleged
payment to him by Browne Of $1,000
as "Lorimer money" The witness
told what he did with the money,
even explaining to the committee
that he had only $3.50 in the bank
at the time, so he placed $50 more
on deposit in order to pay some
bills.

time, White said, that Luke spoke
of White and others receiving $1,000
each for voting for Lorimer.

White told how Wilson called Mr.
Shepard from the room from which
all the representatives had beer
taken in the bath ROOM and thel
after Shepard came out, how h
himself was called into the bath

LADY HAS NARROW ESCAPE
FROM DROWNING

A story has come to light within
the last few days which tells of the
narrow escape from drowning that
Mrs. Donnelley, wife of Captain
Dcnnelley of the State Police, had
at Marlette lake, a short time ago.
The lady was fishing upon a log
that was out in the lake, and as
she turned around to caution an.
other party who was upon the
log, the lady lost her footing and
plunged into the icy waters. Upon
coming to the surface she was able
to grasp an outstanding limb and
eventually to gain seat again upon
the log. The presence of nina of
the lady was all that saved her
from a watery grave Carson News

Large trees and shrubs may be
moved from one part of the place to

hould have a trench dug about three
feet out from the trunk all around,

earth stick to the roots.

sprays. and nostrums placed about the
roots, as sometimes recommended, are
utterly useless. The most efficient
means Of preventing damage rom
these pests is by annual inspection of
the trees and removal of the grubs
with a sharp pointed knife. Various
protective measures are also used.
One of the most effective is to paint
the lower part OF the stem In late win
ter or early spring with fairly thick
paint made from pure ready mixed
paints for this purpose. since others
may contain injurious substances.
Wood veneer strips and wire gauze
are sometimes used to prevent the
eggs from being laid on the trunks Of
the trees, but white lead paint is sim.
pier and cheaper.
Black rot Is fungous disease which
attacks the fruit, foliage, old bark and
branches Of apple and pear trees. The
leaf spot form probably causes more
damage than the other FORMS Some
times black rot cankers on the trunk,
and the limbs develop SO rapidly as to
endanger the life of the trees, but this
is seldom the case except where spray
ing is wholly neglected. The fruit Is
rarely seriously injured, though out
breaks in this form may sometimes
be quite severe.

Feed has grown to be SO high priced
that wasting it seems like squandering

enormous amount of feed every winter
when a little watchfulness and sound
judgment would save 1t.
When stock are fed a tempting

they are given their roughage ration
they invariably become somewhat
dainty as to what they eat, picking
out but the very best of the roughage
and rejecting all the rest.
