ATMOSPHERE OF THE HOME
One Place Where the Best and Sweet est Side of Character Should
 Be Shown.

Family life should be one of the utmost deference and respect. It is peculiar phase of human nature that we are oftener moro considerate of strangers than wo sss a1 Those who in the very nature of things srv nearest and dearest to us.
 Why should we fret and find fault until we make home life intolerable: {: Why should we carry a grouch into our homes every time we leave "busi- ness?" Why should we demand services of those in the home circle which we only request in the most respectful manner from those out side of it?
 Why should man say to his wife, 'Nay, I want my slippers. Bring them to me-" and use a tone of command when he knows he wouldn't address the veriest lackey in a similar manner? Why should May use an irritating, commanding tone towar1 when she wants any lit!f e1vice done and why dc both order the children around as if they were To- of unfeeling, un- thinking little minions who knew no better than to accept the treatment without protest?
 Of all places on earth the home is the place where the best and sweet est side of character should b. shown. It is ttere that the softes tones and kindest actions should prevail. It is there that unfailng and uniform courtesy should be the rule and where every member should use his or her utmost effort to keen the family life untainted by the irri- tating experiences of the life outside of it.

OLD-TIME SUNDAY GOLF.

Golf appears to have given the seventeenth century Sabbath admin, istrators of Scotland more troublr ihan any other form of frivolity. l. he previous century the fascination of the game had Sunday license, oui in the seventeenth the clubs were banned during the hours of diyinf worship. Here is typical entry from the registers of Perth in Janu, ary, 1904:
 ''The visitors report that guid or, der was keeped the last Sabbath, ex cept that they found some youns boys playing at the gowf in tn North Inch, in the time of preaching afternoon, who were warned then b. the officiars to compear before thc session this day."

MORE BALL SUNDAY.

The Omak ball tossers are billed to
play on the local grounds Sunday af-
ternoon against the home nine, and if
it proves to be such an exhibition of
the national sport as that of last Sun
day, at Omak, there is no one who
takes a particle of interest in the game
that can afford to miss it. 1t will be
good game, even if not up to the
standard of that of last week, for both
are clubs capable of playing gilt edge
ball. and each individual member will
put his heart and strength in to the
struggle. The locals have that to 0,
no hit phantom to down, and they pro-
pose to down it, if they can. The Omak
boys, now that they have put it over
on the Oroville bunch, will try to keep
it there. Hence there will be eight
teen young men, keyed up to concert
pitch, prancing around the diamond
with riotous effort to get runs, or to
prevent the other fellows from getting
em over the rubber. 1t will be a
warm session, and every minute of
that session will be exciting and in
teresting.

BUD WEEVIL NOT MOTH AT WORK

An item appeared in these columns
recently in regard to the depredations
of the bud moth and how best to COM
bat the same. The item was both time
ly and accurate so far as the moth was
concerned but it appears that the bud
weevil is doing the most serious dam
age to local orchards.
According to Prof r. E. Trumble, of
Wenatchee. the bud weevil is a small
snOut beetle about one-third of an
inch long. light gray in color. some
times appearing almost whitish. 1t is
quiet little insect, and works both
day and night 1t never flies. It's on
ly means OF getting on the trees is by
crawling up the trunks. 1t comes out
about the first part of April and does
great damage to both young and older
trees, seemingly prefering those plant
ed on sandy soil.
The weevil crawls to the topmost
buds and proceeds to destroy the en-
tire bud and where they are very nu-
merous will often kill the tree or in
jure it so badly that it will not make
good growth and replant is a
wise procedure.
While spraying with zinc arsenate
is good preventative, Prof. Trun,ble
gives the following as the best know
scheme for fighting the pests:
IF the trees are young, put a band
of paper around the tree and put
some tanglefoot on the paper. If the
tree is more than two years old, it is
safe to put the tanglefoot on the tree.
A still better method is to put the
tanglefoOt on the inside of a paper
cone made of very stiff paper, place
the paper around the tree and pin it.
Another advantage is that this
tanglefoot catches cut worms and all
other crawling pests"
County Inspector, J. N. Piercy, in
forms us of still more simple plan
to combat the pest and this is to use
what is known as the Bridgeport tree
protector. This protector can be made
by wrapping small bit of cotton
around the tree and fixing it in place
with small clamp of scrap tin, let
ting the tin project below tho cotton a
short dlstarce so as to form Il cnp.
The weevils cannot get ove' this oh

Frank Bartell was the only local
player who did not strike out.
Talk about Davis getting ones goat
He would get whole menagerie.
Only one Oroville man reached

None of the Omak fielders had any
work to do to speak of. so their capa-
biIity to play bali was not tested.

fans were rather raw In their COM
ments.
Notwithstanding the several errors.
only one of which was expensive. the
fielding of the Oroville crowd was
clean and sharp.
A runless, hitless game is something
unique in ball playing for amateur
clubs. 1t is something hardly to be
proud of. however
Probably the game lovers of this
county will never look upon its like
again. We hope not, II the Orovilllans
are to be the victims.
Two of the swipes of he Omak bat
ters would have been good for two
bases had It not been for the fast field
ing of the outer sentinels.
Mitchell made good showing
against the brawny Omakites, and he
had to use his head on several occa
sions to prevent an increased score.
If the game Sunday In this place be-
tween the same two clubs Is to be
another such close rub we would ad
wise those with a tendency toward a
weak heart to keep away.
The errors made by Stansbury are
in a large measure eXcusable. He was
not we'll. and had not eaten anything
for "a hours. Furthermore he could
not get warm and complained of be-
ing cold throughout the game
The Oroville players drove down to
Omak in rigs. as the motor cars were
all out of commission or In use, some
of them driving all night. They got
a little rest at Riverside. but were not
In fit condition when they went on the
field. Under the circumstances they
put up q creditable game and have no
reason to be ashamed OF the showing
made.
