STANDS BY HIS WORK,
Underwood Defended Five Per Cent
Clause of Tariff Bill.

Washington, Oct. 15.-Representa-
tive Underwood, an early White House
caller today, defended the per cent
clause of the tariff law giving dis
count to imports in American ships
by declaring it was merely a return
to the original Democrat doctrine of
Madison and jefferson, and would re-
habilitate the American merchant ma
rine.
Il am not hunting a trade war;
said Mr.. Underwood, but the presi-
dent has the right to cancel any trade
agreement that we have that may
conflict with this provision. The 5
percent clause is not nearly so drastic
as the maximum and minimu UNI pro-
vision of the Payne-A1drich law.
don't believe in subsidies. The ship
per of the merchandise under this ar
rangement would get the 5 per cent
reduction and the ship owner would
benefit by the increase of business,
both of which objects are desirable"
Mr.. Underwood declared that before
Quainted President Wilson with those
views, and that since the signing of
the measure the president had not in
quired of him about the subject.
Mr.. Underwood said he was not
speaking for the president.
Mr.. Underwood expressed the opinion
that there would be no trade war as
much as foreign countries had discrim-
mated in favor of their own shipping
Later it became known that President
Wilson held practically the same view
of the situation as did Mr.. Underwood
and that the whole matter would be
threshed out in diplomatic channels
instead of by any effort to repeal or
modify the law. The French amba ssa-
dor, Jules Jusserand, who returned to-
day. had an engagement with the

Scallops and bacon are mighty good
eating, and the enjoyment of them is
likely to be widened if there be full
truth In the statement that the United
States bureau of fisheries has discov-
cred an inexhaustible giant bed of
scallops extending all the way from
Block Island to the Virpinia capes.
Beginning about August 20 a thorough
investigation will be undertaken to
discover what the exact facts may
be. An investigation of these beds
OF scallops," says DR.. H. F. Moore of
the bureau of fisheries, has been
made at only half dozen points, not
enough to justify any conclusion as to
their extent, or whether they will be
commercially valuable. My opinio is
that they will be of commercial
value Experts ten us that scallops
are the richest OF all sea food, but
at presentgthey are so expensive as to

LAMB MADE ALL THE TROUBLE

The tidings that lamb is appearing
on the stage in the production Of

noised far and wide. Several corre-
spondents have written to ask why a
lion should not also appear, the pair
lying side by side. But that has al
ready been done, by Lord George
Stranger, and thereby hangs tale.
When the sale of the old Snowman
menagerie took place, the two animals
we're put together and bought by Mr..
Fred emmett, of Dick Turpin fame.
By this time the lamb had got pretty
long in the tooth, to say the least or

LITTLE THINGS TO
Do IN AN ORCHARD
Norway Spruce, Scotch and Aus
trian Pine All Make Excel
lent Wind Breaks.

Peach trees under four years old
which are so badly frozen as to show
discolored wood must be cut off be-
low the snow line and allowed to
sprout again.
Very often trees that have passed
through a hard winter show no indi-
cations of freezing In the bark, but
an examination may show that the
wood is injured.
An orchard on high ground should
always be protected by wind break
of other trees planted on the north
side.
Norway spruce, Scotch and Aus
trian pine, planted about Is feet apart,
make excellent wind breaks
Now is the time to remove all dead
branches and those that are weak,
and which interfere with other
healthy branches.
Do not allow sheep to run in the
young orchard. They are very apt to
nibble the tender sprouts and even
bark the trees
A few years ago eastern peach grow
ers extensively tried out the use Of
crude petroleum as an insecticide. But
while 1t kills the bugs it often causes
great injury to the trees.

NEVER BOUND BY TRADITION
True Follower of Art May Not Be Die
tated To, and Wise Men Recos-
nize the Fact.

There are various approaches to
life; the way of religion, of action, of
commerce, of art. No one of these
can dictate the path of the other.
Not only can religion not undertake
to show the artist which way to turn,
or art to tell commerce of the main
chance, but the artist in one kind
cannot dictate to the artist in anoth-
er. Buonarrod could not add to the
wistful grace of Raphael Madonna,
nor could the Urbinite teach Angelo
aught of the damonic strength or
terribilito; Angeles marbles could
not have fitted into the smiling land
scapes or open sky spaces of Peru
gino. They belonged as they we're
set against rough, bare rocks. like the
Carrara quarries.
A great man when he sees an art
that surpasses comprehension, because
1t is wide of tradition, puts his finger
to his lips and keeps silence. The
empty-headed are the glib dictators OF
ready judgments. Very many years
ago when DR.. William James saw for
the first time a collection of futurist
paintings in Paris he said Il have
never seen anything like this before!

One Of the best authorities on horti-
culture says that where a tree started
in TO develop 1000 apples, 1000 OF
them should be pulled OF in order that
the remaining 1000 may reach per
lection.
The advantages of thinning are so
many that they are hard to enumer-
ate. Thinning of fruit is advantage
Gus 70 any variety of fruit tree, as
the tendency of nature is to crowd
a numerous number Of fruit buds
on trees In favorable years.
When you pull half or a third of the
young fruit from a tree you save the
energies OF the tree, writes a Missouri
Man in the Farm Porgress. On good
many occasions experiments in the
amount of potash required on thinned
and unthinned trees have been made.
Trees that have been thinned correct
ly require just about half as much Of
this form of plant food as the tree that
is permitted TO go ahead with the en-
tire complement of fruit buds.
Color sells apples. There is no doubt
OF that in the mind Of anyone who
has watched the apple-buying public.
An enormous percentage of the
worlds apple crop is sold from fruit
stands and from peddlers' push carts.
The color is the most desirable fac
tor for such sales. Unfortunately
the great mass of the apple-buying
public has not yet learned that
color is not always an indication of
quality.
II you want color, deep, gorgeous
color, thin your fruit Let the sun
shine hit the cheeks of the apple. The
more nearly the sunlight can play up
on all sides of the apple the better
the color is going to be. The same
thing Is true OF other varieties Of
fruit When you thin apples the ripen.
ing is going to be very uniform and

run from stem to tip of the apple
The apples will not be green on one
side and ripe on the other.
Examine a fruit spur, and you will
find that 1t usually has three, four
FIVE and maybe six small fruit buds
The accepted rule for thinning is tC
remove all small fruits until no apple

to its nearest leighbor.
After the small fruits are taken of
the remaining buds start vigorously
on their development. They are get
