AVOID DANGER FROM FROST
Formation Of Ice Around Base Of Trees
Keeps Ground in Frozen Condi-
ton, Retardng Growth

Last year there was a scarcity OF
fruit in the middle states because the
prematurely warm weather thawed
the ground and warmed the trees,
causing them to blossom. This was
followed by frosty weather that froze
the blossoms which contained the
germs necessary to produce fruit.
This is a frequent occurrence and
farmers have used fires and oil stoves
under the branches OF the trees in
their orchards to keep the blossoms
from being frost-bitten.
There is danger of frost in our
region until April Is or later and by
delaying the budding these trees un-
til that time this danger would be
avoided, or there is ample time in
the fall of the year for the ripening
of the fruit writes Chas. Dietz in the
Chicago News.
In order to do this all that would be
necessary is to scrape a small ridge
of dirt about six inches high. forming
a circle around the base OF the tree
about five feet from II. After the
ground has thoroughly frozen in the
latter part of January fill this bowl or
space with water, which would be di.
rectly over the root of the tree The
cold weather would cause the water
to become ice. Then place layer OF
straw or hay over this ice. The device
would keep the sun from thawing the
ice, as the snow and ice ridges on
the shady or north side of our fences
now show. As ice is a nonconductor
of heat, this would keep the dirt
around the roots and base of the tree
in frozen condition, retarding the
circulation or flowing of the sap un.
til it was thawed and warmed up.
The straw or hay could be removed
about April Is with safety.

National Delegates

At the May Primary neither Col.
Roosevelt's 5 nor President Taft's name
will appear on the ballot. Voters in
order to vote for Roosevelt or Taft
must familiarize themselves with
the names Of the delegates, who are
pledged to them. The Roosevelt del
egates to the National Convention
are, William II. Baum and j. w.
Shawan. The Taft Delegates are,
c. c. Eulass and j. II. Slaughter. A
voter who desires to vote for Col.
Roosevelt must make a cross mark in
front of the names Of Baum and
Shawan and If he wants to vote for
Taft he must make cross mark in
front Of the names of Eulass ana
Slaughter.
1t is to be regretted that the Taft
people were unwilling TO allow the
issue to be made directly between
Taft and Roosevelt in this state, but
they controlled the committee that
directed the form of the ballot for
delegates TO the National Convention
and were apparently afraid to do so.
The plan adopted however. only
makes it little more difficult for the
voters and we believe they are taking
enough interest in this fight to learn
the names Of candidates for delegates
and who they are for.
To vote for Roosevelt all you have
to do is to remember that Baum and
Shawan are the Roosevelt delegates
and place a cross mark in front Of the
name of each or to vote for Taft al!
that is necessary is to place a cross
mark in front Of the name Of Eulass
and Slaughter.

THE CONVERSION OF DoUGLAs DURANT

THE CONVERSION OFDOUGLAS DURANT
Doug's alteration for Eva was immed-
late at first sight simply because her
looks, her voice, her movements, and
the touch of her soft white hand seemed
to completely realize his first wild dream
of love. She was the wOmanly double
of the little school girl who died in
DOug's arms year before he left his
dear old home. 1t happened like this;
Cora Trumble was DOug's school-day
love She returned Dougs love with
irresistible sweetness. Doug and Cora,
accompanied by a little girl friend,
were on their way home from school
one summer evening when a runaway
team hltched to hay rake was seen
coming madly down the road. Doug
and the girls ran to one side and kept
close to the hedge fence, but for some
unknown cause the team turned from
the road and dashed right into the little
group. Cora Tumble was caught oy
one of the wheels, pulled down and
kicked by one of the horses. Doug was
slightly hurt, but their little girl COM
panion was unhurt. Doug picked Cora
up limp and bleeding The little girl
friend ran for help. Doug sat down on
the grass and held Cora in his lap Her
bleeding head was on his breast. She
opened her eyes, drew long sigh,
reached up and put her little white
arms around Doug's neck, then droope d
and died in his arms. When help came
Cora was lying in Doug's arms like a
wilted lily, and Doug was crying as if
his heart were broken. Beside them
lay Cora's little dinner pail crushed upon
the grass. At her funeral his grief was
violent. Before they could stop him he
bent down over the casket, placed his
hand upon hers as they lay folded cold
and white upon her bosom, pressed his
tear stained face down against her little
bruised head and cried aloud, Cora
Cora, come back, oh! come back" The
resemblance between Cora Trumble
and Eva Crissman was remarkable, so
much SO that when Doug opened his
eyes and looked into Eva's on the night
when she placed the medicated cloth
on the wound on his head it really
seemed to him that Cora had grown to
wOmanhoood and come back. The
smouldering love within him burst
instantly into flame. Eva saw the light
in his eyes, hence the strange impression
upon her.
Doug hated himself for the insane

part he had played in the criminal
world. So when Eva looked down from
the open window she looked into a pair
of eyes behind which was burning a
fire of love, humiliation, and repentance.
Eyes thus illuminated are magnetic.
Their influence is strange. We never
look at such eyes. We look through
them like looking through windows to
examine the contents of house. We
are Immediately won by the warmth
and cheerfulness of the fire within, and
where the sex are opposite and circum
stances are favorable such eyes will
kindle an unquenchable fire of connubial
love. Eva had lived pure life. Within
her tender heart nature had accumu-
lated the fire of true love. When Doug
looked into her heart the touch of his
burning eyes kindled this fire. The
quivering glow of it was on Eva's
face, and now Doug was gazing at her
again. His eyes were stirring the fire
anew. Like in Eva's recent reverie she
was shining above him, while he, like
the dark little cloud, was struggling in
the gloom below. Indeed he was striv-
ing to disentangle himself from his
past and rise to meet her. She was
waiting for his coming. The strange
loneliness which had been haunting her
vanished.
With a sweet smile and winsome
little nod she recognized Doug and said,
MIR. Durant, you are looking better. !"
Doug answered with smile and wave
of his hand as the men picked him up
and carefully carried him up to his
room and tenderly deposited him on the
snowy bed which Eva had in readiness
