USES A ROPE WICK TO
KEEP TREE ROOTS MOIST

The Hutchinson News tells of the
following interesting method Of pre-
serving trees:
"Put a wick on your tree, and II

dryest season." is the advice of Billie
Johnson, the horseshoer.
Mr.. Johnson, who is with the firm

when he set them out year before
last, on his lots in the east part of
the city. They thrived all through
the desperately hot and dry season
last summer although other small
trees all around were killed.
''It's the same principle as a lamp
wick" he explained. "In putting out
the tree, after digging the hole for
planting the tree, take long auger
and bore a hole on down to water.
Then poke a rope down that hole. SO
the end is in the water, tie the rope
around the tree roots, cut 1t off and
fill in around the roots.
1.-THE rope will bring the water
up around the roots, just as a lamp
wick brings the oil up to the burner.
I set out 25 or 80 trees in this way
and never lost one"

WAYS TO KILL cRIcKETs
Poisoned Bran Mash Ends Lives OF
Curtain DestrOyers

Prof. George A. Dean of the agri-
cultural college announces ways to
kill the crickets that are getting in
to the houses and destroying cur
tains and clothing.
A poisoned bran mash is made
by mixing one pound of bran and
one ounce Of Paris green in pan.
Three ounces of syrup and a quar-
ter of an orange, including the peel
are added to one and half pints OF
water. The bran Is then wet with
this mixture.
Small amounts Of the damp mash
should be put in shallow pans or
dishes and placed behind, or under.
heavy pieces Of furniture or In
other places frequently by crickets.
The mash should be distributed in
the evening.
Another good bait. says Profess
sor Dean, may be made Of uncooked
vegetables, such as carrots and po-
tatoes, chopped up and poisoned with
arsenic or Paris green. $50
In using poisoned bats, however,
great care should always be exer-
cised, particularly II there are chill
dren about the place.

BUYING AT HOME

A Kansas woman sent to mail
order house for an article Of mer-
chandise. 1t was forwarded to her
by parcel post. Enclosed with 1t
was q printed notice, stating that If
the purchase wasn't satisfactory the
purchaser should write her objec-
lions on the reverse side of the no.
tice and return it with the article
to be exchanged. The purchaser fol-
lowed the instruction, affixing the
same amount of postage on the
package as was paid by the shipper
at Chicago.
Mrs. Housewife was not aware
that her act of enclosing writing in
the package caused it to be first
class mail, subject to a rate of two
cents an ounce instead of the par
eel post rate to which the package
without writing was eligible. The
package containing the article and
the written notice fell into the hands
of postal authorities at Washington
and the violation of the rules was
noticed.
The woman will not be prosecuted
for the offense that carries a pen-I
atty of 800 fine and six months in
Jail.

INTERESTING ADDRESSES HEARD
AT MEETINGO OF TEACHERS Assn,

I continually they ave out of doors and
constantly are coming into contact
with the four large rivers Of which the
main island boasts They care very
little for ornaments, the speaker said,
and once in great while the women
tattoo themselves, but never the men.
The speaker drew much laughter from
his audience when he explained the
great pride which the native men take
in the care of their hair. 1t grows
very thick and kinky, he said, and, to
keep il free from vermin, il is plas-
tered with lime on various occasions,
the lime being allowed to remain in
the hair some times for days at time.
Then, when ne believes that every
bug or other vermin has been thor
cughly sterilized the native washes
the lime from his hair" said Mr..
Illingworth The natives also take
great pains in keeping their hair from
and sleep in most uncomfortable posi-
tons toS prevent this. When they work
in the fields or elsewhere, they keep
their hair tightly bound with large
handkerchief The lime causes the
hair to become dull red and, to RENE
dy this, the natives secure quantity
of SCOT with which they dye their
hair back to its original color"
The speaker said that in the winter
the mornings in Fiji are very cold
while the summers are intensely hot
There is little rain in the winter, he
said, but during the warm weather it
pours. He spoke of the four rivers on
the main island as being nayigable for
about 40 miles from their outlet, they
being used as commercial highways in
carrying TO the coast towns the prod
uct of the sugar and other mills He
said that the interior of the islands
is very different from Hawaii, being a
series of up-and-down undu!ations.
Only the land in the vicinity of the
rivers, he said, is good for the grow
ing of cane and for other agricultural
purposes. ....
Professor Illingworth concluded his
address Wild some interesting remarks
concerning the customs CT the natives,
their home life, their work and pas
times and their hobbies. They are
great boosters and story-tellers, he
said. Taking up the labor question.
he told of the many thousand Hindus

custom, somewhat resembling the in-
sdenture system, oeing in vogue. He
said that the English treat their labor
ers very badly, and gave some in
stances, one being hospital conditions
and another the burial of the dead, to
bear him cut in his statement.
In pointing out the relation of dane
ing to health, Mrs. Bolton read a high
ly interesting paper on the subject,
the facts outlined having in part been
taken from her own experiences. She
spoke of the Dances of the Greeks
as having to them portrayed all that
was beautiful in life and in nature
and explained the remarkable bene-
fits resulting from folk dancing in the
public schools. The great disease OF
America, she said, Is its constant hur-
ry and worry, pointing out that the
people do not seem to take enough
time to do things. Il
