INDIAN WAR VETERANS

Washington, D. c., Apr. IL, 1912
The united Indian war veterans
are organized for the purpose of
getting house bill No. 1890 pass
ed. 1t was introduced by Mr..
Rucker, of Colorado, and has been
amended and will be favorably
reported by the house committee
on pensions, and when passed will
give pension to all soldiers Cor
their widows) that served from
1865 to 1898 in any of the Indian
wars, a pension from twelve to
twenty dollars per month. The
records of the war department
show the names of every soldier
when he was enlisted and when
he was discharged, or if he was
slain in battle, or waylaid or
murdered by the savages. 1t al
so shows the hundreds of battles
that were fought and the names
of thousands who gave their
lives I'M protecting the lives of
others. 1t also gives the battles
where the whole army was ami
hilated. The Custer massacre,
the Fetterman massacre, the Stret
ton massacre and the Thorndike
massacre and many others where
but few made their escape. To
be taken prisoner by the savages,
they were doomed to die by the
most fiendish torture. The re-
cords also show that fighting the
savages in the desert was the
hardest service ever rendered by
any army, and why should these
soldiers not have a pension the
same as other soldiers.
We are in need of the names
and addresses of all who will be
entitled to a pension under this
act, so that we can enter their
names and addresses upon our
books in order that we may be
able to get them the proof of
their comrades that served with
them. Send your name and ad-
dress to Henry Hegwer, Cores

FALL TREE PLANTING.
Much to Be Said In Support Of Moving
Trees In the Autumn.

Much to Be Said In Support of Moving
Trees In the Autumn.
There is much to be said in favor Of
planting fruit trees in the fall. In the
first place, there is larger stock from
which to select the trees In the second
place. there is usually more time in the
fall than in the hurry of spring work
Besides this. the rains Of the winter
settle the soil firmly around the roots
of the trees so that they are ready to
begin growth in spring at the earliest
opportunity
Fall planting should not be begun too
early The leaves should be off. True,
they can be stripped by hand. and this
in not few cases is done too soon IN
crowding times The leaves should be
left until by their beginning to fall 1t IS
seen that their important and life CIV
ing work is over. Their beginning to
fall shows this. and any leaves that re-
main can then be taken oH-WllI come
off easily-and the trees can De aug
This is usually about the beginning OF
November. and the planting may con-
tinue as long as the ground is not
frozen.
AS to the care of the trees. that Is
the same as in spring planting. The
roots are to be exposed to the air as
little as possible and on being brought
home should be we'll covered in a
trench in the garden or other well pro-
tected place until planted. The cover
ing of the roots in the trench should
be with the stems of the trees inclining
at an angle of about 45 degrees toward
the surface of the ground. In some
cases it may be necessary to leave the
trees in the trench until spring. and
this will be successful if the work is
well done. The trench should be at
least eighteen inches deep and the soil
we'll worked in among the roots. and
after a good rain or two more SOIL
should be thrown on. making the earth
above the roots rounding and foot or
so above the surface of the ground.
Perfect planting. other things being
equal. consists in placing the tree as
nearly as possible in the same condi-
ton as that in which it was before be-
ing removed-National Stockman and

Women Sweep the Streets,

AN IDEAL LAWN IN BRYN MAwR, PA.
and rural life has caused correspond
ing increases in interest in matters
pertaining to the making and malnte-
nance of lawns. Suburban railways,
the extension Of electric lines and the
increasing return of man to the coun-

growing interest in lawn making.
In general a lawn should be beauti-
full as we'll as useful. Its beauty de-

the uniformity Of the turf. The use
Of the lawn is to provide a suitable
setting for architectural adornment
and landscape painting. Every device
should be employed when working
with small areas of ground as posi-
BILE. The buildings should be we'll
back. the foundation not too high. and
the grading Of the ground should be
slightly convex.
The soil is one Of the most impor-
tant considerations that a gardener
must contend with. 1t must be rich
enough so that it will grow grass we'll
without any additional chemical plant
food. If fertilizer is then added grass
seeds are sure to result in a flourish
ing lawn.
Bricks. boards and other coarse de-
bris found in nearly all lawns are very
detrimental to the proper movement or
soil fluid The moisture moves down
ward until it encounters brick. at
distance Of from three to four inches
below the soil level. The water meets
with no difficulty in getting to the edge
of the brick and goes straight down,
thus leaving the soil Immediately be-

of soil fluid begins the water moves

dried out. remains unsupplied with

dies out during a critical dry spell
Bad spots on city lawns are more
often than not found to be due to
some such impeachment to movement OF
