APPOINTMENT Of lord
RECEIVES ENDORSEMENT
United German Societies of
the District Favor Him for
Excise Board.

Frank b. Lords appointment by Presi-
dent Wilson to the excise board was in
dorsed and features of the new excise
law were criticised at a meeting Of the
United German Societies of the District
last night in Saengerbund Hall. Col. Mar
tin Wiegand presided at the meeting.
Resolutions were passed asking the
President not to withdraw Mr.. Lord
nomination and requesting the Senate to
confirm the appointment. 1t was decided
to ask the assistance of the National Ger
american Alliance in supporting Mr..
Lord.
John Weber brought up the question
of members of German clubs in the city
being unable to drink beer at the clubs
on Sunday because of the new law. He
suggested that either a test case be made
i'll the courts to try out the cOnstitu-
tiOnality of the law, or that a campaign
be begun to have the law repealed. 1t
was also suggested by him that the ex-
else board be asked to make ruling
that the law does not prohibit the drink
ing of beer on Sundays in such clubs as
the German clubs.
Says Clubs Were Inactive.
Gustave Bender told the members
that IL the German clubs had displayed
the activity shown by the anti-saloon
forces the excise law would never have
been passed The members Of the clubs.
he said, were entirely too inactive
while the law was being discussed prior
to its passage.
The fight over the confirmation of MT
Lords nomination is expected to come
to head within the next three days.
Mr.. Lord. who asked that the Senate
District committee take no action when 1t
| met last Friday. in order that he might
submit affidavits refuting the charges Oh
| the Anti-Saloon League, has collected
practically all the data he wants.
Since there Is no opposition on the part
of the Anti-Saloon League to the con.
| frmation of Gen. Robert G. Smith and
| Joseph &. Sheehy. the Presidents two
| other nominees, the Senate District com
mittee is expected to recommend their

WALL STREET WOLF"
CAUSES A FURRY
Reported Indictment of David
Lamar in New York Re-
suits in Many Calls.

David Lamar, the "wolf of Wall street"
who caused a storm of comment by tell
ing the Senate lobby committee of imper-
sonating members of Congress in CONVEX
sations over the telephone, was the cause
today of many telephone calls between
the Department of Justice, New York;
Henry E. Davis, his attorney; United
States Commissioner Arson Taylor; and
the District attorneys Office here.
While no information could be gained
about reported Indictment said to have
been returned against Lamar in New
York. it became known that arrange
ments were made yesterday for taking
Lamar before Commissioner Taylor this
morning on some charge. Later these
arrangements were Cancelled.
Henry E. Davis. Lamar's attorney,
said today that he had promised to
have Lamar at Commissioner Taylor's
office this morning, but later had been
notified by the district attorneys office
that this would not be necessary. At
the district attorneys office it was said
that it had been decided that nothing
would be done through that Office in
the case today.
Department Of Justice Report.
1t was reported from the Department
of Justice that Lamar would be re-
quested to go back to New York to meet
the United States attorney there, but
Mr.. Davis said that he had heard moth
ing Of such a request, and therefore
could not discuss it.
He said that Mr.. Lamar was here
on personal business and that he did
not think he would care to go to New
York at this time. Lamar himself was
still at the Continental Hotel here to-
day, but refused to discuss his case.
AS affab1e as usual, he seemed to be
enjoying himself hugely. He refused
to discuss a report that he was re-
naming in Washington to discuss with
officers of the American Antitrust
League a movement to have probed the
merger of the Union Pacific and South
ern Pacific railroads.

Inevitably to continued breaches of the

scales. This aphis infests both the TOP
and the roots. Contrary to the gener-
al impression the top infestations are
practically independent of those oc-
curing on the roots. The woolly aphis
multiplies rapidly in the spring and
soon infests many of the twigs, form
ing compact colonies, which become
conspicuous by the development of
the white woolly covering The same
increase occurs on the roots, but the
subterranean form usually has it's
greatest development later in the sea-
son.
Contact insecticides must be used
for the woolly aphis, but the lime-sul-
phur solution, so valuable against
scales, is not very effective for this
insect. The oil emulsions and nico-
tine washes give better results. The
application has to be very thorough to
insure penetration. Propagation is by
means Of both eggs and living young
and the unrestricted rate of increase
is very rapid. But aphids have many
enemies, including insects and fung-
GUS diseases.

PROTECT IDAHO'S TIMER.

Forest resources of Idaho are of
material Importance directly or indi-
rectly to every citizen of the state
Idaho has 129 billion feet of merchant
able timber besides a vast amount of
young timber too small to be consid-
cred mercantable but which will grow
to merchantable size by the time the
present logging timber is cut.
In the manufacture of a thousand
board feet of lumber IS is spent for
labor, 81 is spent for farm and store
supplies and an average of 81 is spent
for freight. In the manufacture of the
present stand of 129 billion feet of
merchantable timber $1,032, 900, 600
will be spent in the state for labor,
$25S,OO0,0O0 will be spent for farm
and store supplies and $500, 100000 for
freight. In concrete form the manu-
facture of this great resource would
pay 10000 men each $1,000 per year
for labor for 100 years; 10000 farmers
and merchants would get $3.50 per
year for 100 years for farm supplies,
and 5000 railroad employees could be
supported at $1,000 per year for 100
years on the freight rates. $4,000 peo-
pie could be supported for the next
100 years by the manufacture of the
present stand of merchantable timber
BY its proper use and protection from
fire this timber can be made con-
tinuous resource for all time and at
the end of the present cut of 129 bill
lion feet new crop of timber will be
ready for the harvest.
AS the forest fire season approaches
it behoves every citizen of Idaho
WhnCa npr11notinn - talyo ivy,
into the forests to use every precau-
ton in the handling of fire. Every
citizen should do all in his power to
protect the vast forest resources of
the state by reporting fires to the pro-
per authorities by lending his aid if
possible to fight fires, and by using
his influence against public indiffer-
ence and carelessness in regard to
fire.
Every citizen should be conversant
with the fire notices of the state land
board and the forest service and their
warnings and directions in regard to
fire. Special care should be used by
people clearing stump land as this is
one of the bad sources of forest fires.
Probably the greatest agency in set
ting fires, outside of lightning, is care
lessness in the use of matches and to-
bacco in smoking in the woods. The
Pacific coast people have slogan
which could well be used in Idaho,
"a match does not think with it's
head, when you use it your head has to
do the thinking. Don't trust the match
not to fall where it may start fire
and make you responsible. The pro-
geny of matches, cigaretts or cigar
stubs and camp fires have no heads at
all. So don't trust them either Do
your own thinking. Put them out"

APPLE ROSETTE.

This disease common throughout the
northwest, has been attributed to
great variety of physiological causes
and improper soil conditions. During
the past year, the writer has had the
disease under investigation and has
observed carefully the varied condi
lions under which diseased trees had
been found growing The disease has
been found on trees growing on all
sorts of soils and under all sorts of
cultural conditions. 1t has been found
on light soils and wet soils, on deep
soils and shallow soils, on bottom
lands and hillsides, on north slopes
and south slopes, and on hilltops. The
disease exists in both irrigated and
non-irrigated sections. 1t seems to be
equally prevalent in orchards where
clean culture is practised and in or
chards where various systems of in
ter-cropping are employed. Orchards
which have been allowed to grow up
to weeds are no more badly infected
than orchards well cared for. 1t would
seem, therefore. that neither soil con-
ditions nor cultural practices bear any
direct Relationship to the cause of the
disease.
Furthermore, that disease appears
to be infectious and will spread from
tree to tree. Until something more
definite can be learned regarding the
specific cause of the disease infected
branches should be cut out at once and
burned Fortunately, the disease make
comparatively slow progress in tree
and if pruning is done as soon as the
symptoms appear, it should not be diff
ficult to control
