IS II RIGHT TO ADVERTISE COCA
CoLA7

Men who play the willy game of poll
tics have discovered that the best way
to distract the attention of the public
from their own shortcomings is to
make loud-mouthed sensational at.
tack upon someone else. As the cut
fetish eludes its pursuer by clouding
the surrounding water with the con-
tents of its ink sac, SO the political adj
venturer takes advantage of the igno-
rance and prejudices of the people to
escape from his indefensible position
by muddyine the waters of public
opinion.
A case in point is the recent attack
made upon the religious press for
carrying Coca-Cola advertising This
attack was made by a politician who
was supposed to be an expert in chem
istry but who, having brought a suit
against the Coca-Cola Company, was
Inundated by having to acknowledge
that he could not qualify as an expert

that the only essential difference be.

half as much lifeline as the latter and

Profting by past experiences, Mrs.
Annie Boloski of Chester, Pa, saved
herself a severe beating at the hands
of her husband, she says, resorting to
tactics that had been used by Boloski
on previous occasions.
When Mrs Boloski was arraigned
before Alderman Carter on the charge
of assault and battery preferred by her
husband, John Boloski, she admitted
that she was guilty of the charge, but
she acted in self-detense.
III she hadn't yanked off my wood

1t is known to be more or less com
mon in Europe. In Germany it is be.
lieved to be the result of injury to the
roots received in cultivation or in some
other way. In our own country it is
more or less commonly known in many
sections, and doubtless occurs through
out the greater portion of the United
States.
The only treatment that can be rec.
commended at present is to vigorously
exclude all affected plants when set
ting. No one can afford to plant such
trees under any circumstances. The
risk is too great and the chance of
ever getting any profitable return
from them far too small. OF course
it is always desirable that the trees
or plants should be obtained from nur-
series where the disease does not ex-
list, but it is not always possible to do
this. The next best thing to do is to
burn every tree in the orchard found
to be affected.

A curious little monument 70 French
red tape is TO be seen at the Petit
Palais. The clock in the building has
marked the same hour for the last
10 years, although it is in perfect re-
pair. The explanation borders on the
ridiculous.
AT the close of the Paris exhibition
10 years ago busybody of an of
fetal stopped the clock for no other
reason than that the exhibition was
closing its gates. Since then it has
remained stationary, for the simple
reason that it does not appear on the
list of clocks which the official clock
winder to the. municipal council has to
attend to, and until some particularly
energetic member of the council at
tends to the matter the present state
of affairs is likely to continue.

There is mysterious disease be-
coming very prevalent throughout the
country at large of which as yet com
paratively little is known. Its effects
are apparent and familiar in many
sections, but its cause has not been
definitely determined, The name root
knot" would be the most natural one
by which to designate it, but in using
the term it is liable to be confused
with another disease due to an entire
ly different cause. The name Grown
Gall" has been applied to it in Cali
fornia and hence will probably be
retained though the knotty growths
are not confined to the crown of the
plant. 1t is characterized by rough,
knotty, growth at the surface of the
ground. This growth usually encircles
the entire stem or main root at this
point, and smaller knots frequently ap-
pear on the lateral roots deeper in the
ground.

FATHER ACTS AS HOST
PARENT OF YOUNG WOMAN EN-.
TERTAlNs HER BEAU.
Papa at Least Did His Best to Interest
Elsie's Friend and Unnecessarily
Saved Her the Trouble,
Perhaps.

Speaking of parents and daugh'
ters," said Van Patter, "let me re
mark that parents are pretty dense
sometimes.
Nov, there's Elsie, my niece. She's
the prettiest thing that ever hap
pened. She has light, fluffy hair and
long, curly lashes that make fellow
feel as If he were standing on top
Of a lightning rod and looking down
at the world about thousand feet
below. Elsie is one of those dainty
little creatures who would make
gorilla act like piano salesman, or,
at least, wish that he could.
"Elsie's father is as dense as a
sack of meal 1t has never occurred
to him that Elsie is old enough to
have a beau.
1.-THE other evening young fellow
dropped in. Young fellows are mighty
apt to drop in when there is girl
like Elsie around. Elsie and her
father were sitting in the library
when the young man appeared. The
old man was finishing cigar and
Elsie was just sitting there looking
like peaches and cream.
1.-THE old man invited the young fell
low to have a cigar and began to be
polite and entertaining. He chatted
and impaired information and asked
polite questions and inquired about
his parents and ran the whole gaunt-
let of stereotyped conversation.
nj
talked back. They went around like
a 60-day race without either of them
getting tagged and having to drop out.
Elsie just sat there, taking no part at
all in the talk. Along about ten
o'clock, when they had done 40 laps,
the old man began to wabble little.
Once or twice he asked questions he
had asked before-nice, polite ques-
tions. He was treasured as to the
health of the young mans mother
three times, and was also informed
several times as to the young mans
fathers welfare. Elsie sat there as
light and airy and unruffled as a
butterfly.
About the Goth lap, when It was
! getting along toward eleven o'clock,
the old man was all in. He was wab-
bling all around the track. He was
no longer rational. Part of the time
he didn't talk at all. The young man
also had a sort of baffled, anxious
look. But Elsie was as translucent
as a purling stream-calm, sweet, Sc
rene.
Every soon after eleven the young
man left. Elsie's father stretched
himself and sighed; My gracious
How in the world do YOU su1pose thai

tbS BEESlE l.. PUTNAM.)
Whenever we see a farmer, partic-
ularly in the peach belts, buying
peaches, we feel that one part of his
education has been neglected
There are scores of communities in
which about one-half of the residents
grow their own peaches and the other
half buy from them and then emit a
wall that they cannot grow peaches
themselves.
Peaches perhaps do best on sandy
soil, but good clay soil, thoroughly
enriched and cultivated is now grow
ing in many part Of the country excel
lent fruit
No matter how thrifty our peach
orchard may be constant planting is
necessary to keep 1t thoroughly up
to the mark because they develop and
mature rapidly and are, therefore
short-lived. Peach trees decay more
than any other fruit tree.
No reason now why fruit should not
go to market packed in the most at
tractive manner Boxes and hampers
are now being made of paper and are
just as cheap as wood.
There is almost as much in the sell
ing of the fruit as in raising it and
fruit that is well packed in attractive
packages always brings the best
prices.
1t is a sad mistake to plant young
trees in the midst of old and worm
eaten trees, particularly when no at
tention is paid to the eradication of
insects.
1t is permissible to allow saw in

the orchard occasionally, but it be-
comes pretty nearly being crime
to take an axe among the trees.
Not much use to spray for leaf curl
after the buds break We tried to
convince a man of this fact when we
saw him spraying along the middle
of June. He said he was. spraying to
prevent leaf curl, but did not know
what caused it. Do you?
How many fine orchards we have
seen ruined by allowing top-heavy
growth. The way some people treat
their orchards one would imagine that
they gave their trees credit for pos
sessing human intelligence and the
power to protect themselves from
enemies and to rid themselves of dis
ease.
The ground newly set trees should
be firmed frequently for at least a
year as otherwise they are apt to be
blown out of line by the strong
winds.
Do not be afraid to thin the fruit
o. the trees Rub off the apples and
peaches until one is left every FIVE
or six inches. 1t takes grit to do
this, but you will have better and
larger fruit,if you will follow the plan.
Orchard soil must be rich in organic
matter and for that purpose if for no
other clover crops are valuable.
Orchard ground should not be cul-
tivated later than August first because
cultivation keeps the sap running and
the trees must have time to stop
growing and harden before winter
comes on.

Our old friend Humus does not
stand much of show with some
farmers. They have not yet learned
that in order to make material to last

pillow under grass sod and other crops
of that kind. 1t takes little nerve
to pillow under your crop of clover, for
instance. but it must be done il we
are to keep up with the procession.
