wauponsee, small village near
Coal City, ILL.,, is reported wiped out

U. s. WEATHER BULLETIN,,

The weather during April to date
has been in marked contrast with
the severe conditions that existed dur.
ing much Of the period since the be-
ginning Of the year. especially in the
districts to the eastward of the Rocky
mountains. 70 the westward of the
mountains the weather has been some
what less favorable during April, but
good rains have fallen lately in much
of that region and the soil is now
generally we'll saturated with mois-
ture.
At the beginning of April the sea-
son was unusually backward in near
ly all districts, both east and west,
and the ground generally cold and wet,
but during the past week marked i'm
provement has occurred in the gener-
al outlook, especially to the eastward
of the mountains. The sunshine has
been abundant and the warm dry
ing weather has rapidly put the soil
in satisfactory condition and vege-
tation has responded promptly to the
more favorable weather.
In the great winter wheat-grow-
ing states west of the Mississippi
river the heavy snowfall of the past
winter has left the soil well filed with
moisture, and the unusual snow cover
ing doubtless proved highly beneficial
to the wheat plant during the preva-
lence of the severe cold. In the win
ter wheat-growing states to the east
ward of the Mississippi the snow COW
ering was generally lighter and af-
forded less protection during the Sc
we're cold. The soil is generally well
saturated with moisture, and the ia
vorable weather of the past week has
rapidly forced vegetation forward in
all portions of the belt.
In the spring wheat region the win
ter's snowfall was generally less than
usual, but good rains during the past
week have put the soil in good con-
dition, and the weather was general
ly favorable for outdoor work.
In the cotton region the season is
everywhere backward and in portiona
of the middle sections the heavy rains
Of the past week have still further de
layed the progress of the usual spring
operations. In Texas and Oklahoma
the soil appears to be in excellent
condition as to moisture, and similar
conditions prevail over the more east
ern states of the belt. In portions
of the lower Mississippi valley large
areas are under water from the Sc.
we're floods, and much delay will oc-
cur in the usual spring work.
Over the Atlantic coast districts
the season is late, but the past week
has been favorable for all outdoor
occupations, and vegetation is re-
spending rapidly to the favorable
weather.
In the Rocky mountain districts and
thence westward the week was mostly
cold and the season continues late.

seems advisable, and in case the diff

needed improvement Mrs. Griffith and
her daughter, will go on to California.
Denver is usually pleasant place for
an outing at this time of the year.

FREAK OF CHANCE
is SHOWN IN DISASTER

CHICAGO, April 17.-Love for her
two younger. sisters was the cause of
the death of Mrs. Alice Johnson, a
passenger on the Titanic. She ex-
changed her second class tickets and.
with the two children, went into steer
age that with the money saved she
might bring her sisters to America.
The mother, her babies and the two
younger women probably perished.
Oscar W. johnson of st. Charles,
ILL.,, business man, was anxiously
scanning the newspaper accounts of
the disaster when the postman
brought him letter mailed by his
wife before leaving her parents home
abroad.
Mr.. Johnson had sent the money
for his wife to purchase second-class
passage for herself and children
Harold, a years old, and Eleanor,
year old. They had spent the win
ter in Sweden and were coming home.
In newspaper he read that practical
ly all the women and children Of the
first and second-class cabins had been
saved and johnson was horror strick-
en- when he read his wife's letter.
"At the last moment decided to ex-
change tickets for steerage passage
that might have Marie and Louise
with me-" said the message.
Marie and Louise Anderson, 16 and
18 years of age, were the girls Mrs.
johnson brought with her, 1t is fear
ed that all are lost. The husband is
distracted.

The House of Brick does not.
You know this when you stop to

so in the habit of building of wood
that brick often does not occur to
them, and when it does they say it
costs too much.
That is because they do not think

SOME RULES FOR SHAPE TREE
PLANTING.

1t is better to> use stock that has
been grown under climatic conditions
similar to those where the tree is to
be planted.
Trees two inches in diaemter are
large enough,
Root system should be compact and
trunk straight.
Watch for shipment. Do not allow
trees to dry out on depot platform.
Plant the trees as soon as possible
after they come from the nursery.
However, If the grower is not ready
to plant, the trees must be properly
cared for. Unpack large bundles Of
stock, dig trench in shady place
and heel the trees n until ready to
plant. In any event do not expose
roots to air any longer than abso-
lutely necessary.
Trim the lower branches to n
height to six Of seven fet from the
ground. Remove about one-half Of
the previous years growth in order
to maintain the balance between root
and stem systems.
Trim off all torn or broken roots
before planting.
Plant with as large root system as
possible.
The hole should be larger than the
root System.
Do not put fresh manure in the
hole: It will burn the roots.
Set trees an inch or two deeper
than they stood in the nursery.
Arrange the roots to spread nat
urally.

Tie roots.
