Graduated PLATING.

The introduction Of graduated plat
ing removes the last hope that the
skinny hem will continue.

dresses was seen recently, and 1t was
quite pleasing compensation. in
spite OF the fascination of the slim
silhouette.
For the sunray skirt clings and

must agree in time that the more
graceful mode is the line which gradu-

Has Foot Crushed.

Ben F. White, a brakeman EN-,
ployed in the L. & N. yards, had a
part of his left foot crushed while
coupling cars in the F. & c. yards He
was just in the act of stepping out
from behind the car when the wheel
caught his foot and crushed 1t just
IN front of the instep. Doctors South
and Fish were summoned and Mr..
White was taken to the Kings Laugh
ters hospital, where the crushed part
of the foot had to be amputated, as
it was too badly mashed to be say ed.
He will be somewhat famed for life
but will be able to get sbout reason
ably well on his manned foot. He
is getting along nicely and there
seems to be no fear of any complica-
tons resulting.

New York and lie Millinery.

Whatever may be said about the
dresses. which are for the most part
very freakish and unbecoming, there
is little or no adverse criticism about
the hats, which are really lovely and
OF great diversity of shapes and color.
The demand at present Is for the close
fitting hat, the durbar turban and
tiny pokes, but unquestionably large,
rather fiat hats will be worn for mid
summer wear. Many of these are
yelled with printed chiffon, net and
lace, and are very soft and dainty, al
though they have not the fiuffiness
characteristic OF the lingerie bebe hat.

VIII Governor Name New Mana.

On account Of the Importance
OF the position. under the new
primary election law, much in
terest attaches to the appointment by
the governor Of new member of the
Board Of Election Commissioners to
I'LL the vacancy caused by the resig-
nation of Judge Charles r. Mcdowell.
The appointment must be made by
the governor from a list submitted to
him by the State Central Committee
Of the Democratic party and it has
been generally understood by those
not familiar with the law that the
list would be submitted by the pres
ent State Committee, of ws@th Henry
Prewitt is chairman.
But it is very probable that rnS
governor will make no appointment of
an Election Commissioner until after
the state convention and the list will
be submitted by the new State Com
mittee, which is to be chosen at the
oNA1S SOhN SAliOhs 1 uS lt-W says that
the governor shall appoint, from list
OF five names submitted to him.
Judge Mcdowell was so appointed
last summer and if there had been no
vacancy no list would be submitted
until July of this year. The law says
that in case there is vacancy on the
Election Commission the same course
shall be followed as though it was an
original appointment. This is taken to
mean that a new list must be SUBJ
mitted.

which consists of one Republican and
one Democrat and the clerk Of the
Court Of Appeals, under the new pri-
mary law, names the county commits

ton officers for the primary The
State Commission also counts the
votes cast at the primary election and

Hints for the Orchard
- - and Farm II -
Winter Kill of Apple Trees

During the past spring great
many reports have reached the Expe-
/ riment Station of apple trees being
winter killed. In most cases it was
weather set in. In some few cases
the older trees suffered An investi-
cation of this trouble indicates that IN
nearly every case the trees were en-
couraged to grow until late in the
summer, and the wood was not per
mitted to ripen we'll before freezing
| weather set in. In sine few cases
summer pruning had been done and
the trees had started to grow after
the pruning work. and were In con-
dition of secondary growth when fall
weather set in. Many of these trees
suffered severely, The winter kill was
not, in each case. due to extreme cold
weather but to the freezing of the
wood beforeit had reached maturity
In some cases the killing did not take
place until February or March, but
in nearly every case the trees that
were least matured suffered most
The best method of avoiding this
trouble is 20 check the growth of the
trees little after midsummer, by
Withholding water in the irrigated dis
tricts, or ceasing tillage, and in some
cases planting a cover crop in the
orchard. The soil should not be per-
mitted to become so dry that the trees
actually suffer for water but it should
be permitted to dry sufficiently to
check the growth of the trees. Wrap
ping, or placing bandages about the
trees Will sometimes be worth while,
but 1t is seldom necessary If the
growth is properly matured
In some localities the Rome Beauty
has suffered severe loss. In some Sec
tons the yellow Newtowns and Spitz-
enberg have been very severely In
jured. The Ben Davis family has
probably been less injured than any
of the other varieties. The mere fact,
however that the trees winter kill to
some extent when they are not prop
erly cared for in the fall is not neces-
sarily evidence that the locality is not
adapted to fruit growing, as In most
cases the trees will not suffer winter
injury after they reach an age of five
to six years.
