Heating of Orchards in Utah.
This is one of the successes of
science as applied to industry. but
1t is not always successful, as wit
ness the failure of orchard heating
in Utah. In the Monthly Weather
Review j. c. Alter deals with frost
fighting in that state, and his re-
port is anything but encouraging TO
growers faced with this problem.
Assuming 80 degrees as the tempera-
ture below which heating is neces-
sary, he says that for the first de-
gree the cost is so cents per acre
per hour, while with each additional
fall of temperature the cost increases
40 cents per degree, per acre. per
hour. This means that when the
temperature falls to 20 degrees il
will take $4.20 per acre, per hour.
to bring it up to 80 degrees, or the
safety mark. In view of this it is
not surprising that many growers
who were alleged to have fired their
orchards successfully in the past
have abandoned the system. How
ever, the failure of heating in Utah
where frosts are frequent and con-
tinuous does not mean that the
method cannot be applied in districts
where they are less frequent and
where fuel is cheaper.
American Success in Surgery.
That the march of science is in the
main triumphant was demonstrated
at the recent International Medical
Congress held in Londan and at
which it is gratifying to note that
Americans were accorded the prin-
cipal honors. In department after
department, and especially in sur
gerry, men from the United States
were acknowledged to have done the
best work since the previous confer
ence. 1t was also noted that among
the foremost names honored were
those of country practitioners and
general physicians, thus showing that
what might be termed field work is
just as fruitful of good results as
that conducted in the best equipped
laboratories. Chief credit was given
to DR.. George w. Grille of Cleveland,
Ohio, for a new method of anaesthe-
sia, whereby the area of operation
could be shut off from the brain for
several days if necessary. The ef-
feet of this discovery is a wonderful
conservation of that nervous energy,
which was being drained under the
old system, even when the patient
was in complete unconsciousness.

The worst habit that boys can fall
into is that of loafing around on the
streets at night. 1t is then they cast
their lot in slippery places when at
any moment they are likely to fall
from grace. All good and noble les
sons taught them by their mothers
are there counteracted and nullified.
They learn nothing that is good
but everything bad. The boys who
spend their evenings in the sacred
precincts of home, with good books
for their companions, are the future
hope of the republic; they will fill

Many a soldier who bravely stood
at his post during our civil war is
covered with badges. We would not
take one from him-he merits them;
but many an ordinary" woman has
stood at her post of duty for thirty
forty, or even half a century, fight
ing with sickness, poverty and dis
eouragement and with true Spartan
courage kept the wolf from the door
and saved the lives of large family
of children. The man who saves one
life receives a prize for bravery, his
picture appears in the metropolitan
papers, and he wears a medal which
says to the world that he was brave.
And he was. But the woman who
has saved the lives of many is given
no badge, and seldom a word of
commendation. These Ordinary"
women may not receive Carnegie
badge for bravery, but "He who
marks the sparrow's fall" will GER
tainly reserve a jeweled crown for
them in heaven.

Franklin D. Roosevelt
Is Selected by Daniels
As Assistant Secretary

The appointment of Franklin D.
Roosevelt, State senator from Dutchess
county, N. Y, as Assistant Secretary of
the Navy, has been agreed upon by
Secretary of the Navy Daniels and
President Wilson, and will be announced
today.
Mr.. Roosevelt is not closely related to
Colonel Roosevelt. The position which
he viii I'LL WAS that held. however, by
Theodore Roosevelt prior 20 the out
break Of the Spanish-American war.
It had been reported that Mr.. Roose-
Welt would have luncheon today with
President Wilson. This was denied at
the White House, however
There have been few men named as
probable appointees to this position. 1,
was sought by G. Earle Yansey. now
chief clerk Of the Bureau of Nayiga-
ton. who has worked his way up in the
department through twenty years of
service. He knows the department as
few men do, and it is expected that
he win be well taken care of by the
department, although denied the place
he wished TO have.
The appointment of Mr.. Roosevelt
followed q conference between Presi-
dent Wilson, Governor Sulzer. and
Charles F. Murphy. and is taken as an
indication as to how the President will
lean in making future New York ap-
pointments. Roosevelt always has car

NEW YORK STOCK
PRICES STILL WEAK
Foreign Selling Continues and
Market Is Unsteady, Though
Many Stocks Show Gains.

NEW YORK, March 10.-The New
York Stock Market was dull this morn
ing and still felt the influence Of the
cial situation. Berlin was closed. but
London and Paris were weak. There
was hesitation, too, until it became
known whether there would be the Min
nesota rate decision today. The market
became somewhat more active after the
news that there would be no decision
came over, but prices were not material
ly helped.
The market presented an irregular
appearance with Canadian Pacific and
Union Pacific very weak. However.
there was list Of about a score OF
stocks that showed gains and dozen
or so that remained unchanged.
Money rose to AZ per cent today. OF
the S20,O 600 pounds South African gold
available in the London market today
80 600 was secured for Germany and
a like amount for India. The disposition
Of the balance Is az yet uncertain. The
SGbtreasury gained $4S4.O0 from the
banks on Saturday and since Friday
gained s., ,536. 600.
The unexpectedly favorable showing
made by the February statement of the
copper producers has stimulated buying
of copper by domestic consumers. and
on Saturday large volume OF business
was transacted at 10 cents. The buy

agencies have advanced their asking

that some copper can still be had on

MEATS ARE LIKELY
TO HIT TOP NOTCH
Whole Cattle Prices lump From
Ten to Thirteen Cents, and
Are Going Higher.

With local retail butchers complain
Ing Of the high price OF meat and rs-
ports coming in from the West that cold
weather on the ranges has prevented
the shipment of cattle. there Is every
indication that meat prices may go to
the top notch and then some, according
to butchers here today. There has been
pretty constant increase In the price
OF meat for several months. Last week
there was jump Of from to cents
a pound In some grades. and Tow comes
increase In price of from one-half to 2
cents q pound.
Whole cattle that have been purchased
Tor 10 cents a pound are now 13 cents,
and are expected to go to IA and Is
this week. Hogs are now 12 cents and
chops were advanced last week from
to,5 cents a pound over the previous
price.
That this advance is momentary, how
ever. Is the opinion Of some dealers here
who point out that just now practically
as the result of cold weather. "The old
supply Is disappearing" they say, land
the new supply IL not coming in ss
rapidly as It should" This Is espec-
tally true of vegetables. All new lines
are high on account of scarcity, and the
old supplies are poor and about exhaust
ed. Fruits are scarce. apples being
about the only things OF good quality
left and these are almost prohibitive IN
price. The cold weather has also af-
fected the new supply and Strawberries.

market that are not near the skyline

Appointments Urged.

The appointments urged were those
of former Governor Lou V. stephens
! to be named Comptroller Of the Treas
ury; former Governor Dockery to be
Assistant Secretary of State: Judge j.
w. Whitten to the commissioner Of the
Land Office: John w. Ferris to be COM
missioner of pensions: Eustis c. Wheel
cr to be an Assistant Attorney General,
and John O'Rear. OF Mexico. Mo-, to be
made minister to one of the South
American republics.
The Democratic majority in the SEN
ate is very narrow. Moreover. the
Senate has In its hands the confirma-
tion of Presidential appointments
These considerations are Of importance
in considering tie partial break .ng
down Of the rule about office seekers
1t is pointed out that the rule, as
enunciated last Wednesday. said tina;
the President would not see office
seekers except on his own invita- ton
This was clearly understood at the
time to include representatives of Office
seekers also. From the precedent es-
tablished today II is quite clear that
Senators and Congressman will be re-
ceived, although the bars are still up
against representatives of office seek
ers other than these and. possibly,
Democratic national committeeman.
The office seekers themselves are still
outside the door. There is no open
door for them.

McAdoo Still Undecided.

Secretary McAdoo is not yet prepared
to announce the names of his assist
ant secretaries 1t seems that they have
not been settled upon. Predictions were
upset when Mr.. Newton was ap-
pointed private secretary instead Of an
assistant secretary. Most of the busi-
ness Of the Treasury Department Is
waiting upon the appointment of as
sistant secretaries, as most OF the
Republicans now holding office are
sensitive about acting upon new issues
coming before the department that
must go through their hands. They
will decide no questions OF policy.
The general tenor Of appointment talk
today seems to indicate that James F.
Curtis will remain for a time as assist
ant secretary in charge Of customs.
This, however, is not at all certain, be-
cause Of the large number of political
appointments to the customs service.
Newton's Career.
Byron r. Newton, the new private
secretary. is a former New York news
paper man. serving the Associated Press
in the Spanish war, and later on the
New York Herald.
For several years past he has been
associated with Mr.. McAdoo in indus
trial projects. He took up work as aide
to Mr.. McAdoo on the Democratic ma
donal committee in June last year, and
had charge Of the New York headquar-
ters Of the party at AZ Broadway. After
the convention he went to Seagirt and
handled Governor Wilson's correspond
ence.
