The thirteen hits were dropped in

being gathered in clusters sufficiently
large to earn runs whenever desired.
Chase singled four times in a row,
Demmitt hit three safeties, Collins a
double and single, Blackburne two
singles, Alcock a double and Russell
a single.
AIcock played third base in place
of Harry Lordg who injured his left
hand in practice. The hook is swelled,
and Alcock may be regular for
few days.
In addition to the batting streak,
the way that Alcock and Mayer. per-
formed was encouraging.
The third sacker made miscue on
his first chance, probably due to ner-

LANCE was pushed in yesterday

Larry Schlafly is not leading a bang

For ten innings he combatted the

RLIGHTs OF NURSERY STOCK.

number of different blights, con.

do considerable damage to conifers in
nurseries in the United States, accord
ing to bulletin No. A bureau of plant
industry, United States department of
agriculture. The increasing amount of
forest planting and the danger that i'm.
ported stock will bring in serious tree
diseases make it especially important
that methods of controlling these
blights be found in order to encourage
the growing or planting stock in this
country.
Sun scorch is the commonest sum-
mer trouble among nursery stock. The
roots of the plants affected die before
or at the same time as the tops. Death
is caused by excessive water loss. 1t
usually occurs when the air is hot and
dry and the soil around the roots is
dry. The disease is worse on sandy
soils in crowded beds and on raised
parts of beds. On sandy soils it may
kill suddenly and in difinite patches,
Successful preventive measures that
have been tested by the department
are watering, shading and avoidance
of crowding. In nurseries located on
mineral soils the humus content
should be increased.
Winter killing, another disease,
causes the tops of the plants to dry
when the soil is frozen so that the
plants cannot take up water. The
| preventive measures most used con.
sist of a light straw mulch on the beds
| and windbreaks
The tops of plants affected by the
mulch-blight die in winter. This hap
pens while the mulch is still on or oc.
casionally just after it is removed.
| The roots do not die till sometime aft
er the tops. The immediate cause OF
death is unknown. The disease may
| be prevented by avoidance of heavy
close mulches. Spraying with Bordeaux
mixture just before the beds are
mulched in the fall may also be OF
value.
There are a number of needle-de.

in the nurseries in the more moist
parts of the United States. They have

series, and have been little studied

vent damage from any of them. The
proper times for spraying have not yet
been determined. The importation oi
European stock should be discouraged
in order to avoid bringing parasites
which have not yet reached this coun
try.
A great deal of blight occurs in red
cedar seedlings and transplants. The
cause and methods Of prevention are
unknown. Shading, watering and fire
quent spraying should be tested.

RELINoUISHED THE LEASE.

Vice-President and Mrs. Marshall
have been pursued by an unkind fate
in their search for dwelling place
since Mr.. Marshall stepped into the
vice-presidency on March last.
They made the Shoreham hotel their
residence as a base to begin a search
for house. Mrs. Marshall, between
thousands of official calls, was escort

spect what they positively knew was
Just the kind of house for the vice
president and his wife. One by one
they were turned down until after
months of search one was found that
suited.
The lease was signed and Mrs
Marshall began to get things ready fol

preliminary arrangements she called
upon the woman who owns the place
She was informed that a purchaser
had been found for the house. Woult

could enforce the lease, they released
the woman from her contract.

Besides the distinction impaired to

The record is one never before made
by a vice-president's wife, cabinet
members" wives or any one else in
the official circle except Mrs. Henry
Kirk Porter of Pennsylvania, whose
husband was in the house from that
state few years ago. Mrs. Marshall
can now rest on her laurels. She has
closed her visiting list and covered up
everything until this winter. The long
session of congress made it possible
for her to accomplish this. The not
too sumptuous machine given to the
vice-president for use while he is in
office, and accompanied by a chauf-
feur who knows the city, has been
seen in dozen sections of the town
in the same afternoon-firs before
the door of some high official or a
fashionable woman of society, with a
caretaker to receive the card, and
then before the humble home of a
government clerk from Indiana.

QUEEN ENA OF SPAIN is GROWING OLD RAPIDLY

she affords a striking example of the
beautifying results of fashionable
clothes. Always extremely pretty,
with wonderful blond coloring, lovely
hair and handsome eyes. Queen Ena's s
figure had the serious defect of being
high-shouldered and short-necked.
This appearance has now been got rid
of, and the grace and beauty of her
neck and shoulders are undeniable.
The prospect of facing regency in
Spain for some years, at any rate
while her eldest son is under age,
must have wearing effect on Queen
Ena, and especially as it is so freely
predicted that she could never sus-
tain the position successfully in the
face of the letting loose of not mere
ly Republican but revolutionary forces
expected to follow the death of the
present king.
However, Queen Ena will not fail
for want of brains, for it is said she
is well endowed with them, and If she
does fail it will be owing to bad ad-
visers or her own defective tempera-
ment.

other than that of mere givers of
money or dispensers of food.

Mrs. Campbell, suggested that she be-

ditions among poor women and chill
dren in New York city Mrs. Camp
bell began the investigation, and for a
year there appeared each week in
the New York Tribune articles by
Mrs. Campbell on the woman wage
earner's problem.
Not satisfied while studying the con-
ditions among the working women of
her own country, Mrs. Campbell went
to Paris, where for a year she studied
the problems of the wage earning
women of that city. Later for three
years she covered the conditions in
England, Italy and Germany. During
her entire period abroad there came
from her pen a series of brilliant COM
prehensive articles dealing with the in
dustriai place of the woman wage

was carrying on investigations in the
business districts, Helen Campbell
spent much of her time in Jerry Mac
aulay's mission.
Helen Campbell is probably best
known as an author. She is also
known as former professor of the
Kansas Agricultural college, as a spe-
cial lecturer of the University of Wis

son on Boston common, where she is
called the mother of the bum row."
1t is on one of the seats reserved for
the occupancy of the buns" of Bos-
ton and other cities that Mrs. Camp
bell, when the weather permits, reads
her morning paper-always with an
observant eye to her fellows of the
row. When she thinks one of them is
genuinely down and out she speaks to
him. and the heart of many a poor
chap has been cheered by the little
white-haired woman, whose kindly
eyes gave him sympathy and who COM
prehensively listens to a tale of for
tunes lost and ships wrecked.
My love for the poor and hungry"
says Helen Campbell, began at the
age of nine years, when in the cold
of November day in New England a
band of gypsies camped below my
grandfather's farm. / met one of the
little children wrapped in a tattered
red shawl and she told me how hun
cry she was. She said her band had
been ordered out of the town. l ran
back to my grandparents and an
nounced my intention of having the
gypsies come up to the big house on
the hill. My grandparents were
aghast at the proposition. Their re-
fusal to entertain the wanderers in
furiated me, and l shall never forget
the episode nor how, after the storms
and tears, basket of provisions was
finally sent down to the gypsies in the
hollow. That night the band was hur-
ried out of the town."
Mrs. Campbell is a firm believer in

Helen Campbell, Il have travelled. In

there is plenty for the masses, plenty
for the poor women and their little
children, losing childhood in toll. And
even while industrial unrest possesses
the hearts of the women and children
there is yet a great peace-when out

their own.

and rest is to be preferred to the use
of feed and water cars.
Cattle should be weighed before
being loaded wherever practicable,
since a comparison of this weight with
the sale weight will show the net
shrinkage. Moreover, this weight at
point of origin may be of material
benefit to the shipper in case of a
wreck or very poor run to market.
There is no way of entirely prevent
ing shrinkage in the shipping of cat
tie. but by judicious care in handling
and feeding the cattle just previous
to shipping the shrinkage may be
lessened. If cattle are to be in tran
sit for "a hours or longer it is a good
plan to feed about two bales of nice
bright hay for each carload a few
hours before loading.
When care is used in trailing the
cattle TO the loading pens, not driv-
ing them too fast nor too far in a
day and giving them five or six hours
a day to Craze on the way, long dis
tances may be covered with no ap-
parent injury to the cattle. On arri-

short time before loading them, un-
less the grass is very luxuriant An
excessive fill of water or green fodder
or grass just before loading is not
good for the cattle, as it may cause
them to scour in transit; then, too,
they will not stand up as well in the
cars.

Protect the Birds.

All over the country there is loud
cry for the salvation of the birds from
the pot hunting that used to prevail.
Still the hunters will not down. and
the Charlestown News addresses them
thus; The impudence of the enemies of
the Federal bird law seems to be
quite as great as their treless per-
sistency. Not withstanding all their
activities in Congress and out of it to
destroy the law or nullify its effect
ivness they have actually had the au-
daclty, it is stated, to go to the Sec
rotary of agriculture with a plea that
ne allow them special dispensation
IN regard to spring shooting. We dc
not believe that they will succeed.
The secretary of agriculture is a very
level headed man and he will realize.
we are confident, the dangers involved
in letting down the bars, especially at
this time. The bird law as it stands
may not be perfect, but it is certainly
the best law on the subject which
has ever been put on the statute books.
and it ought to be enforced in letter
and in spirit. Only thus can the mi
gratory birds be protected against that
destruction which has already been the
fate of so many of them. Brattleboro
