BENEFIT OF UNITED ACTION
Central Organizations Can Do Much
to UpbuiId Any Town or
Community.

There seems to be strong need for
central organizations where delegates
for the various municipalities may
meet and by comparison of notes de-
terrrine where mistakes have been
made and the proper method of pro-
cedure, says the Los Angeles Times.
These meetings also stimulate activ-
ity where Indifference or municipal
lethargy are responsible for lack OF
progress In many eastern states
great good has been accomplished
through state declarations.
New Jersey was the first state in
the Union to enact model shade-tree
law. BY the act Of 1893. 1t provided
for the planting and care of shade
trees on the highways of the munich
palities Of the state. While the in
crease In the number Of shade-tree
commissions during the last few years
has shown the growth of interest in
the subject. the actual results accom-
plished by the shade-tree commissions
have not been uniformly successful.
The various tree boards have been
working in an Independent way, and
so the maximum results for the good
of the state have not been secured.
1t had been felt for some time that
there ought to be some coordination
of interests among the various tree
commissions in order that the ade-
quacy Of present laws might be stu
died, the general questions of policy
considered, and help extended to new
Informed shade-tree commissions. and
efforts made to extend the movement
for the planting and preservation of
shade trees In the state. New Jersey
now has a very effective shade-tree
federation.

WORKS WITHOUT FAITH

A Bay State belle talks thus about

ferer from indigestion and intensely
painful nervous headaches, from child

Seven years ago my health gave

the exertiOn of walking, if only few
feet, made it necessary for me to lie
down. My friends thought l was
marked for consumption-weak, thin
and pale.
Il realized the danger l was in and
tried faithfully to get relief from med
icines, till, at last, after having en-
ployed all kinds of drugs, the doctor
acknowledged that he did not believe
it was in his power to cure me.
while in this condition friend in
duced me to quit coffee and try Post

hope that 1t would do me any good. 1

W. |. DOUGLAS TRUST PLAN
Manufactures Thinks Government
Should Obtain Publicity by
License System.

Large business organizations have
come to stay. We cannot go back to
old conditions. We must meet world
competition. Large concerns can pro-
duce goods at lower cost than small
0nes. Germany favors largs corpora
tons, The method of the present ma
tional administration is to dissolve
the great organizations and make
them smaller, which is a backward
step, There should be no limit to a
corporation doing a large and legiti-
mate business, such as would be pos
rible under the licensing plan which
] favor, writes w. l.. Douglas, former
governor of Massachusetts, in the
Boston Herald.
Prejudices against corporations
merely because they are big, perhaps,
must be done away with. They give
labor better returns. They cheaper
product and thus benefit the consm-
er. They give opportunities to small
investors who get returns otherwise
unattainable. They employ able
young men who have no capital at
ALL but who receive handsome sal
aries for their ability and service.
In place Of the Sherman law 1t Is
my opinion there should be depart
ment at Washington to grant licenses
to all manufacturers and corporations
in this country who do an interstate
commerce business.
The law should be made so clear,
plain and definite that it could not be
misunderstood. 1t should require all
capital to be paid in full. Semi-yearly
statements should be given to the
public and certified by a public ac-
countant There should be a board
of examiners in each state to look aft
err these corporations just as our ma
tional banks are watched by the ma
tional government. They should have
the right to enter the offices and eX-
anime the records Of all the direc-
torates Of these companies.

PRESERVE THE PEACH TREES
May Not Vet Be Too Late for Effec-
tive Warfare Against the Borer-
Its Habits.

The borer pest kills peach trees In
the city lot oftener than anywhere
else because the town man as rule
knows nothing of grief ahead until
the tree is ready to topple over In
wind, rotten at the ground. Washes
and wrappers have been devised to
control the peach tree borer, but
Leonard Haseman of the Missouri ag-
ricultural college says the best way
is to swat 1t with your hand. The
best time, he says, is some time this
fall, a good point to keep in the men,
DRY.
The gum on the peach tree down
near the ground is an unmistakable
warning that the borer is getting
busy. Mr. Haseman says the search
er can easily detect the presence Of
the borer as a rule by the masses of
peach gum just at the surface of the
ground. The borer has tunneled
through the bark and has commenced
to feed upon the live bark and sap
wood. Sap flows through the hole in
the bark, and coagulates in the air,
forming the so-called peach gum.
The remedy almost suggests itself
Dig away the masses of gum and find
the entrance to the tunnel. Follow
the tunnel with as little damage to
the tree as possible and smash the
borer on sight. 1t is a small, milky
white, gruh-like caterpillar Most Of
diem are about half an inch in length
In the fall, being less than half-grown
when winter sets in.
The peach tree borer in the adult
stage is a moth. The moth appears
from early July to the middle of Au-
gust and closely resembles a wasp,
having clear wings and yellow and
black bands about the body The moth
hunts up peach tree and deposits
eggs about the base. The young Dor
err or caterpillars soon develop and at
once begin to tunnel into the bark
and wood of the tree. Here they feed
and grow. On small trees often a
single borer will completely girdle a
trunk If not put out of business before
1t natures. Often dozens or more
will attack larger tree.
The borers continue their tunneling
all fall. Then they go below the sur
face of the ground to establish them
selves for the winter.

How 10 Cara for rresa-

With trees, as with all other living
things both animate and inanimate, II
is far easier to form than to reform.
"As the twig is bent so the tree in
clines" is all of truth and none of er-
ror Too little attention is paid to the
training of street trees. Before the
winter season sets in they should be
deprived of top heaviness so that when
the soil becomes softened by winter
rains the excessive top will not catch
enough wind to blow the trees over.
Over-heavy tops that receive the full
force Of the winds are apt to be torn
Or suffer serious splits, aside from the
danger Of blowing over, and all these
evils may be visited upon a single
tree.

for Southern account, and prices sold
off 10 to II points from the best. The

ports of better rains in India may have
helped the bulls TO some extent, and
there were continued complaints of eX-
