Progressive Orleans.

The rhythm of the hammer and the
rasping Of the saw is the music of the
soul in Orleans now. Every phase of
life in Orleans seems to be infected
with the same desire to do something
contributing to the growth and well
fare of the village -industrially,
socially, religiously. A little time ago
we needed more and better school
accommodations and the only question
was to how much should be spent We
spent it and got good accommodations,
modern and up-to-date. The E. L.
Chandler Co., used to lose dry kiln
occasionally by fire, so now they have
built large, modern dry kiln Of brick
and concrete. 1t cost lot of money
but it has given us an added assurance
of the permanency of the business. We
had water supply which was good
enough ten years ago, but the remark
able growth of the village has exhaust
ed the supply and now the village is
putting in a Sis, ZOO extension. The
south end of Main street was crooked
and unsightly and so the village with
the aid of the state has just complet-
ed several thousand dollar improve
ment there. There is scarcity of
tenements throughout the village and
so the Chandler company are building
an eight-flat tenement house. R. W..
Eldridge had trouble in buying hand
kerchiefs to supply his mail order
demands and so he has built his own
factory. The Central Savings Bank &
Trust Co., had need of larger and
better quarters and is building new
bank block and otherwise improving
their property on Main street. To
meet the demand for larger and better
business locations Taplin & Rowell are
building business block ON their lot
on Main street.
The Congregational church is build
ing fine little chapel and not to be
outdone in the march of progress,
Twombly & Cotton are installing new
set of market scales in front of their
store on Main street. E. w. Merrill
A. A. Patten, G.. S. Stevens and DR..
Lanphear are completing or have just
completed new residences, but new
residence is such common thing il
Orleans that one new one fails to gel
much notice. The present status O.
the village was admirably expressed
in slang last week by one of it's loca
admirers, who remarked, believe me
Orleans is getting to be one rottel
little village" C.. S.

How to Battle With Cabbage and 9th.
er Plant Lice.
No time should be lost in destroying
weeds and insects. It is labor that
must not be neglected. Insects are
easily controlled if the work is begun
in time
There are two kinds of insects-the
biting and the sucking species. To
the biting kind belong the Colorado
potato Dug, beetle. cutworms, etc.,
which devovr portion of the plant.
The sucking insects belong 1.-THE fam
lily of plant lice that secure their food
from the juice Of the plant. sucking it
through their slender beaks.
Some internal poison. such as paris
green or ;lr.;enate Of lead. must be used
to destroy the biting insects. while a
solution that kills by contact, such as
kerosene emulsion or tobacco decOc-
ton. must be used for the sucking spe-
cieS.
Cabbage and other plant lice are best
controlled by spraying with kerosene
emulsion, using the Is per cent solution
"a solution containing Is per cent Of
kerosene. If the lice are on trees,
flowers or rosebushes tobacco decoc-
ton may be used with good results.
The tobacco decoction is made by TAX
ing three pounds of tobacco stems and
five gallons of water and boiling for
two hours. 1t is used without diluting.
but must not be applied too hot
If treatment is begun in time plant
lice can be controlled. 1t must be done
before the leaves are curled so the
| spray cannot reach the pests. There
| should be several sprayings, four or
five days apart, as one spraying will
not completely do the work. Clean
culture is important in fighting these
insects. as with many Others.

How to Keep Buttons.

Some housewives save all their pill
and lozenge boxes to hold small but
tons, and they fasten a sample button
to the top Of each box. This is a good
plan, but not quite so good as one big
box having compartments. Into one
compartment put the pearl buttons.
into another put the bone ones, and
still another put the cloth covered but
tons. and SO ON. It takes no more time
to put stray button into it's proper
compartment than to drop it into box
of miscellaneous buttons, and to find
the said button when one is in a hurry
is hardly a moments work. which is
quite different proposition from get
ting it out of big box filed with all
sorts and conditions Of buttons.

STATE MAY REST
IN BIXBY'S CASE
Levy Girls Testimony Probably Not

The state probably will rest its case

er, If the corroborative testimony of
Marie Brown-Levy, her chum, is ruled
inadmissable, according to state
ment tonight by Prosecutor Keyes.
The entire conduct of the remand
ler of the case it appears, rests with
the Levy girls testimony. If it is ex-
cluded, 1t is likely the testimony Of
half dozen other girls held ready by
the prosecution will meet the same
fate. In this event, all the testimony
adverse to Bixby will have been pre-
sented.
Judge Bledsoe will spend Sunday
considering the protest of the defense
against the admission of Miss Levys
testimony on the ground that it is not
pertinent to the specific relations of
Miss Barker and Bixby. He has re-.

It Is admitted tonight that the
prosecution is seriously considering
the trial of Bixby on a similar charge
involving Marie Brown-Levy, in the
event of their failure to convict on the
Barker charge Should Bixbv be con-
victed on the latter count, however,
lit is believed the Levy charge will be
dropped.
