Protecting Trccs From nab5its.

That IAN ounce Of prevention is

true III regard to protecting trees
from the rayages of rabbits in win
ter, when snow is on the ground, and
these animals are short or forage. as
is the usage in regard to many 9TH
er matters to which it is applied.
If the law win not permit the KILL
f ing of rabbits after the close of the
season, preventative methods an.at
least be used to- save yOung fruit
trees from destIlltiOn. - rr.
: a farmer of Southern Pennsylva-
mia, near the Maryland line, whose
trees have been greatly damaped this
winter, wrote to Prof II A. Surface,
State Hoologist, Harrisburg, for ad-
vice, and received the following re-
ply:
The best thing to do with the
rabbits IS to kill them, especially as
soon is possible after the first snow
fa,l, or after eath fan of snow. They
do not peel the trees, as you know.
until the snow has been on the
ground few days.

reports current yesterday. The dis
patch printed in the London news

ed that Scott had found the Pole,
but as nothing has been heard from
Scott, 1t is supposed he Is still In

to the Norwegian until the English
man Is heard from. Amundsen for

MOURNING FRIENDS
PAY LAST SAD RITES

A large cOncourse of sOrrOwing
friends gathered at noon today at the
First Presbyterian church. where the
last sad rites were pronounced over
the body of Mr.. Clarence II. Perry,
whose sad and untimely death has
cast a pail over the community.
The body reached Lakeland from
Tampa on the noon train, accompa-
MED by the heart-broken wife and
other relatives. The body was taken
in charge at once by the lndepend-
ent Order of Odd Fellows, of which
organization Mr.. Perry was prom
inent member.
After the funeral cortege had
reached the church, the burial serv-
ice of the Presbyterian church was
read by the pastor, Rev. Chalmers.
The choir softly sang ASLEEP in
Jesus and 1T is Well With Ny
Soul" Rev. Chalmers was assisted
in the service by Rev. l. c. jenkins,
pastor of the Methodist church. The
casket was covered with beautiful
floral offerings, each rosebud repre-
senting the love and esteem in which
the deceased was held.
After sthe service at the church,
the body was accompanied to the
cemetery by large number of
friends, where the last rites were
performed by the Odd Fellows.
We venture to say that never has
a death occurred in Lakeland that
was more generally deplored than
That of Mr.. Perry, and while bow
ing in submission to the Divine will
of Father above, it is hard to un-
derstand why this beloved young
man should have been called so early
in life.
His many friends are bowed in
sorrow. and in this sad hour, they
extend deepest sympathy to he de-
vot.s wife, parents and other reia-
lives.
