TO CONSERVE TREES
Farmers Take New Interest
in Fruits.

For the first time in years, Wayne
county farmers generally ar making
an concerted effort to improve their
orchards. This influence has Just
come about this spring since series
OF horticultural lectures by County
Agent Cobb
All fruit crops will be exceptionally
short this year, because of the fact
that there was only about one-third
bloom. Apples will be few at harvest
time, and the quality will not be above
the average. Although few peaches
are raised, most of these are fair
with prospects for an average crop.
The cherry crop is short and the guam
tity poor. Pears will also be short
this year.
a Richmond dealer said he has sold
completely out of spraying and prun-
ing material since the series of horti-
cultural lectures, while a wholesale
druggist has built up in the last few
weeks from almost nothing a substan-
tlal business in chemicals with which
to spray trees.

gressive principles in the state and
national governments. He pointed out
that there was an ever-grOWing de-
mand for reformation in state and ma
tiOnal governments and asserted that
that the Progressive party was the
only one which has needed this great
popular demand and which had pledg-
ed itself to carry into effect the de-
sired reforms if placed in power. He
made no direct criticism of President
Wilson, but showed that the present
Democratic administration was not
providing the reforms SO earnestly de-
sired by the American people.
Following the joint convention the
Progressives of Union county were to
hold a convention to nominate a cOun-
ty ticket, and the prediction was free
lv made that this ticket would be the
strongest placed in the field in this
county by any party in recent years.

Landing of Arms at TampicO
Makes United States Liable
to Charges of Bad Faith,
Delegates Say.
Officials Wonder if Huerta
Actually Intends to Use
GunbOats to Blockade
Tampico Port.

WASHINGTON, June 6.-That the
South American diplomats will soon
give up their efforts to establish peace
in Mexico and will leave Niagara
Falls was the prediction freely made
today in official circles.
Reports from the mediation confer
enecs and from Tampico were consid-
cred discouraging, but the most ON
1nOuS feature of the situation is that
the administration is said to have
made the United States liable to the
charge of bad faith toward the media
tors by permitting the landing of arms
t TampicO by the tramp steamer
Sunshine, in the face of assurances
by Secretary of State Bryan that or
ders had been issued to the customs
collectors of the United States to re
fuse clearance 10 American ships car
rying arms to Mexican ports.
Bryan is Obdurate.
Despite the fact that legal officers
of the commerce department have ad
viSed the state department that the
refusal Of clearance to such ships in
In the absence Of an embargo, is il
legal, Secretary of State Bryan in
sists that no such ships, arms or am
unition for Mexican ports will be Civ
en- their proper papers.
The reported landing of the Sun
shines cargo and the rumor that an
other vessel at New York had sought
clearance for a Mexican port with a
cargo Of arms caused much uneasi-
ness here and Washington is in a
Quandry regarding future shipments
OF arms.
which officials are trying to clear up
Is whether Huerta really intends to
blockade Tampico The two federal
gunboats still are under close surveil-
lance of the United States war vessels
Tacoma and Sacramento. Huerta's
only other WarShip on the east coast,
the armed tug Tampico, is reported in
Tho river Alvarado, and thus far no
move toward enforcing the blockade
order has ben reported.
Diplomats believe that grave com
plicatiOns would result from an at
tempt to prevent a blockade. That
the United States intends to persist III
its purpose of maintaining Tanpico an
open port is the conviction of officials,
based on statements by Secretary
Bryan ana the fallure or the navy
department to change the orders sent
to Admiral Badger May IS to keep the
port open.
This course, according to the views
of many would constitute a grave vio-
1atiOn Of neutrality by the United
States, inaSmuch as the American gov
ernmena made no effort to interfere
with the COnStitutiOnalist campaign
against thp Mexican fpdpra1S at Tam
picO and other localities.

Watering the Human Plant

Most of us realize the Importance
of pure water when we can get any.
But ordinarily we never give ii a
thought. even when we're newly
mounted on the water wagon.
Do you know, for instance, that 70
per cent of the carcass you carry
around when you put on your clothes
in the morning is water, pure water,
H2-O? That, assuming the scales reg
lister you at $50 pounds, 113 of those
pounds would go up in steam if you
should happen to get 10 a certain
very hot place?
Well, that's a fact And here's
another: Just to keep the mixture in
you at the right degree of fiuidity, just
to make up for the bodys evaporation
and leakage. you need, every day, To
take in, through feed and drink. an
ounce of water for every pound and
seven-tenths that you weigh.
Say you weigh $50 pounds. This
means that you need a daily water
dosage of more than half gallon
simply to keep from becoming crusty
and dusty.
But there's one fine thing about
water as a beverage; you don't need to
be afraid of an overdose. 1t cleans

frilly and clouded in perfumed mys-
teries composed Of fine lace and pleat-
ed tulle. 1t is long time since women
as sex have been really fluffy and
frilly. 1t is very long time since
they condescended to wear lace man
ties which might almost be called
shawls; since they have permitted
their little feet to disappear behind a
foam of accordion pleated petticoat
frills.
But 1914 is to be largely a year Of
frills and flounces, of lace and chiffon
and embroidered tulle, of flower deck

dainty little kid shoes and extra long

WOMAN AND HOME
Shopping

A lady ambles to a store
To buy a spool of thread.
At first she looks at hats galore
Then carving knives and bread.
From there she travels TO the aisle
Where davenports are kept,
And then she fingers for while
Around the ribbon dept
She looks at frying pans and lace,
Inspects the latest books.
She prices lotions for the face
And linen goods and hooks.
And when she's canvassed all the
joints,
And clerks are nearly dead,
She brings the matter to point
And buys a spool of thread.

Isn't long, isn't wide, isn't straight;
But the neighbors you know in your

BY the palace and pavement and

In the midst of the throng,
You will long, you will long,
For your own little town, after all.
