BAD TREES
SAYS PROFESSOR
O'GARA
PROMINENT OREGON PATHOLO-
GiST ADVISES DEAN IN
FIGHT ON BLIGHT.

Montana orchardiSts are not IN a
position to try to save blight-infected
trees at present. Until the disease is
more thoroughly under control, horti-
culturists Of this section must de-
stroy infected trees. That is in sub
stance the advice sent to State Hor-
ticulturist NJ. L. Dean by Professor P.
j. O'Gara, the oregon pathologist who
recently visited western Montana, in
speeding orchards here and lecturing
on the proper method of fighting
blight.
Says Professor O'Gara: In regard
to your work on blight control, let
me say that the most important thing
is to get blight thoroughly under con-
troll before attempting to save badly
infected trees. Your people are not
well enough acquainted with the con-
troll of this disease to experiment.
You lave so much to do at this time
that your best method, a method
which you should follow, will be to
get rid of the diseased trees. AS soon
as the disease is under control and in
fections are few and far between, you
nay give some time to the matter of
saving trees as we have done here. BY
all means enforce the law"
Professor O'Gara is one of the most
prominent Psychologists in the north
west and has made an especial study
of blight. His lectures in this Sec
ton of the state We're enthusiastically
received by the farmers and helped the
campaign for cleane orchards inn
mensely. This parting advice of his,
given after making an extensive tour
of western Montana orchard sections,
should be, taken to heart, for it is the
word of an expert concerning a mat
ter of vital Importance to horticulture.

Moving pictures that talk have
been exhibited IN Dubuque during the
past week and the audiences have
been large and very enthusiastic.
This is one of the recent inventions
of the wizard Edison and one of the
most wonderful. La the opening
picture a young woman plays the
Swanee River" on a violin, while
man accompanies her upon a piano
and another young woman sings.
Every tone of the instruments and the
voice is reproduced perfectly and the
hearers positively forget that they are
not listening to real people there be-
fore them. Then comes the scene
from an opera with the people of the
chorus trooping in and out Up1n the
stage. the principals in their parts and
the comedians with their jokes and
jests, all splendidly produced. This
is followed with a little play and
concluded with a minstrel show, the
whole performance lasting an hour
and half or more with an admis-
sion of % and Is cents. 1t will not
be long until the smaller cities will
also have opportunities of seeing and
hearing such performances, which
will enable the people to enjoy the
work of the great artists in the
theatrical world at the same or lower
prices than are now paid to hear the
barn stormers who from time to time
InfIct themselves upon audiences in

Two riob1ems to Be Faced.


In forty years divorces in the United
States have increased 24O per cent.
Granting, for the sake of argument,
all the reasonable pleas offered for
breaking the ties of unhappy mar
riages, the fact remains that easy di-
vorce means loose morals and more di-
vorces. In many a case, if the laws
had been harder, the parties would
have readjusted their views and work
ed out successful married life The
disaster is that thousands of young
people are rushing into matrimony
with the shallow idea that if it does
not suit they can apply to the courts
and that there will be no dishonor. 1t
is the old story of an evil becoming so
common that it loses its degradation.
Here surely is call to the conscience
of the nation. A uniform law is the
ideal, but that seemingly being impos-
sible in our present stage of civiliza-
ton the citizens of the states should
be moving upon their legislatures and
their courts to save the United States
from the ignominy which it now holds
of being the second country Of the
world in divorce statistics, Japan be-
ing first.
Official figures for the past year
show a very large increase in the con-
sumption Of alcohol. In spite of laws
and movements there is more drinking,
and the results are found in the in
creases in the jails, asylums and hos
pitfalls. Here is another problem for
the home. 1t must be faced and
fought. and, while a part of the RENE
dy is in the law, the larger part is in
the training of the new generation.

Little fault will be found with
Gov. McGovern for vetoing the bill
for a profiigate distribution of the
states blue book This is a large
volume, containing statistical in
formation of a political character,
and costs the state a lot of money to
print. These are distributed over the
state to parties supposed to be most
interested in the matters contained in
the book, and year by year tbs
liberality in distribution has been in
creased until each member of both
houses Of the legislature now receives
free of charge $50 copies Of the book
to give to his political friends.
Each officer of the Legislature receives
a similar number, and the state stands
the expeuse-that is the taxpayers do.
The vetoed ibll proposed to give each
member and each legislative officer
300 copies, an extravaganza the gov
ern0r justly sat down upon. There is
altogether too much inclination to
needlessly squander the peoples
money, where it will lead co political
favor for the Office holders and
politicians.

prisoner can be put to work upon the
