GREAT INTEREST IN
CHICAGO CONVENTION
Never Before Has There Been
Such Intense ceiling Be-
tween the Factions.

Chicago.-There never was more
interesting republican national con-
vention than that which assembled In
Chicago Tuesday. The situation at
the opening of the convention was IN
precedented in American politics. No
national convention was ever preceded
by such a bitter factional fight over
contested delegates. At the opening
Of the convention no human being
could foretell the outcome. The hot
test battles In former conventions OF
any party seem almost Insignificant
compared with that which eliminated
here.
Victor Rosewater, of Nebraska,
chairman of the national committee,
In his capacity as chairman called the
convention to order.
Taft adherents controlled the ma
tonal committee by a majority large
enough to decide every contest in
favor of the president. Bitter fights
marked almost every step Of the pro-
ceedings before the committee, but
the efforts of Borah, sHeney and other
Roosevelt men availed little as one
after the other Of the contests were
Personal Feeling Bitter.
decided for Taft delegates.
The closing hours OF the commit
tees session were marked by exhibit
lions of intense partisan and personal
feeling among it's members. The bit
terness of the conflict shattered life
long friendships. Men, who in former
years have stood shoulder to shoulder
in the struggle for party supremacy
denounced each other to their faces.
Epithets of liar" "thief," and the
like were freely banded and at times
personal encounters could hardly be
averted. The finish of the long con-
test hearings was marked by incidents
strongly indicative of the intense feel
ing between the Taft and Roosevelt
forces.
All Of Washington's IA delegates
were awarded to Taft, against the
protests of Senator Poindexter. who

web worm. basket worm and the tus
sock moth The sucking insects are
the scale insects, such as the San Jose
and oyster shell scales and the plant
lice Those that feed during a part Of
their lives within the wood of the
trees are called borers. Notable among
this group are the leopard moth and
the maple borer
In the spraying of large trees climb
ing into them is necessary, but with
the power machines a great deal Of
this climbing is eliminated. Spraying
should continue during the entire feed
ing time of the caterpillars. or larvae.
There are also methods to be used in
the fight against leaf eating insects,
however and these should not be
overlooked One of these is by de
stroying cocoons and egg masses.
The fight against scale insects pre-
sents totally different aspect. These
the juices of the plants. Any poison
placed upon the leaf surface will have
no effect upon the insect. as none of it
will be eaten. A contact poison must
necessarily be used. Such poisOns as
may be used in this case are whale
oil soap. lime sulphur mixture, soluble
oils and variety of patent mixtures.
There are two feasible methods OF
attacking borers One is to cut into
the wood and remove the horer with
the aid of a thin piece of wire and
then plug the cavity thus formed. to
prevent the entrance of water and to
promote healing. In some cases it is
not possible to get at the borer with
out removing too much wood. In such
cases If carbon bisulphide is poured
into the hole and the hole sealed up
the fumes Of this material will suffo-
cate the borer The cost of removing
borers from large trees is so great as
b make it almost prohibitive. How
ever. the greatest damage by borers is
to young trees. and as borers can east
~ be removed from these it should be
done. 1t is slow tedious work but it
is amply repaid in the saving it ac-

The growing interest in municipal

From the cumulative mass of improve

trees on the city streets is a detail OF
special and personal interest to the av

family and his home directly and con
cretely. while at the same time affect

Proper attention to shade trees in
any city presents several aspects. all
important in themselves and each of
a different and specific character The
choice of varieties to plant. the proper
planting of the tree. fertilization. wa

and trimming the destruction and pre-

protection from mechanical injury and
from public utilities-all these are nee

The insects infesting shade trees
may be classed under three groups
leaf eating insects. sucking insects and
those that feed during part of their
