of people from every city in
the state participated in the services,
is evidence that California has awak-

these rapidly decaying memorials OF
her early history. Italy has its ruins,
its coliseum and its Forum: Germany
Sts ancient castles that hide among
the crags Of the Rhine; France, its
beautiful chateauX Of Touraine and
Normandy; and Spain, its slumbering
Alhambra, whose fountains have long
since ceased to flow. With equal pride
California points TO the ruins of its
Spanish Missions. True, they cannot
boast Of great antiquity, neither do
they tell of nations fought and con-
uuered; their tale is of the heroic
deeds of noble men, who yielded fame
and fortune and sometimes life itself
for the glorification OF God in the
then heather land. There lies about

Mentality Of John w.

The following is from the South

"a, and will be of interest to the Owls
in this section:
Request for an insanity commits
sion to examine the condition of John
w. Talbot's mind was filed today in
Justice Hildebrand's court against
the supreme president Of the Order Of
Owls. The petition was made by At
torney F, j. Lewis Meyer.
THE move came as the result OF
an attack made by Talbot upon Attor-
ney John E. Fischer Thursday night,
which Meyer said was so unprovoked
as to give evidence Of diseased
mentality on Talbots part.
Talbot surrendered himself this
morning before warrant for his ar
rest was served. 1t was issued on an
affidavit charging him with assault
and battery, with intent to kill Fisher.
Talbot is said to have hit Fisher on
the nose. The bond was fixed at 5000
and was furnished without delay.
Meyer said that the insanity in
vestigation would be taken up first
and if it is found that Talbot is I'M
balanced. the assault charge would be
dropped"

Health Is q state of physical, mental
and moral equilibrium, normal funo-
donating of body. mind, and soul. 1t
is the state when work is pleasure,
when the world looks good and beau

disease, degeneracy and crime. The
laws of health are as inexorable as
the law of gravitation, as exacting as
eternal justice, as relentless as fate.
and their violation is the beginning
and cause OF all disease, suffering and

APPLE TREES
DYING IN STATE
Ames Experts Tell the Reason and
: Suggest Remedy to Save
Orchards.

Ben Davis and GanO apple trees are
dying In such large numbers through
out Iowa this season that the Iowa
Agricultural Experiment station hor-
ticulturalists S. A.. Beach and Lau-
REM Green recently made thorough
investigation of the districts most af-
fected. They have just completed,
their preliminary report in which they
say that injury and death of these
fruit trees is due to number of fac
tors, chief of which are cankers and
blight caused by various parasitic
diseases; the early fall freeze of Oc-
tober 1909: the late Epring freeze of
April 1910; the dry seson of the sum
mer of 1910 followed by the cold win
ter with comparatively light snow,
and the extreme drouth and heavy
crop production of 1911.
All of these factors tended to
weaken the vitality of the trees" say
Messrs. Beach and Greene, "and par
ticularly of the older and Jess vigor-
Gus ones, rendering them less able to
withstand the unusual and continued
low temperatures of last winter
Those orchards which. had been we'll
cared for are showing less injury than
neglected orchards and their trees
are recovering more rapidly. Also,
the younger and more vigorous trees
are recovering more rapidly; they
were also less injured"
In genera those trees which were
previously weakened by disease or
mechanical injury are showing the
most winter killing. This was espe-
cially true in Fremont. Pottawatta-
mie, Mills, Iowa. Polk and Page coun-
ties, south of the Rock Island railway,
where no case of injury found was
traceable to winter killing alone. Here
the blister canker or Illinois canker
was the most common cause of injury
and it is considered by the expert
ment station as very serious men,
ace to Iowa orchards. In recent
bulletin issued by the station on new
fungous growths in Iowa, No. 131,
there is description of this disease.
In Harrison and Woodbury. counties,
severe cold is the chief cause OF
trouble.
Where orchards are afflicted with
canker or other disease, the diseased
wood should be cut out" advises Prof.
s. A. Beach. That should be done at
once. The cuts should extend back
we'll into the healthy bark and wood.
The wounds should be thoroughly
cleansed and disinfected with any
good disinfectant as formalin, zorro
sive sublimate. copper sulfate, bor-
deuax mixture, or lime sulfur, and
then covered with paint. Directions
for making these mixtures are given
in Bulletin 127 which may be had
without cost by writing to the Iowa
Experiment station at Ames for it.
Where the trees have been weak,
ened, provide them with generous
and continuous supply Of food and
the soil moisture necessary to make
the food available to the tree. This
can be done best by breaking UP the
sod and keeping the soil we'll titled
so as to form dust mulch at least
8 inches deep Whenever possible,
apply manure, especially where the
