There are so many advantages at
tached to the planting of the family
orchard in the autumn that every anna
teur gardener who plans to have tree
fruits should practise no other method.
Perhaps most important is the fact
that far better selection of trees may
then be secured, mainly because there
is then larger quantity to select from
and hence both greater certainty of
securing ust the varieties one has chos-
en- and also finer specimens of trees.
If he cannot actually set the trees
where they are to stand he may hill
them in at home and thus have them
at hand when he is ready to plant.
This hilling-in is very simple process.
1t consists in digging a trench say IS
inches deep on one side and throwing
the earth out on the other which is
paved down with the spade to make a
long gentle slope-almost horizontal.
Against the vertical side the tree roots
are placed so the trunks and tops ex-
tend up the slope. Then earth is
thrown over both roots and tops, ex-
cept perhaps the extremeties, and the
exact position marked so it can readi.
| ly be discovered in the sprng. Need
less to say such a trench should be
made on high, well-drained spot and
no straw or litter should be left neal
the trees, because this would form har
bors for mice which would damage the
| tree.
| Autumn planting differs in no wise
from spring planting. The trees mus
have all broken or injured roots GU
back to uninjured wood and the tops
cut back considerably to balance the
loss of root surface. Unless this i!
done, so large an amount of water will
be transpired by the twigs and buds
that the trees will have difficulty il
getting satisfactory start. This re
mark applies with even more force t.
spring set trees, which soon have tn,
added Transportation surface of tn,
leaves. The trees having been pruned
they may be set where they are t,

SHARP
Will Not Be Recalled Says
Secretary Bryan

Washington, ID. c., Sept. 12-Secre-
tary of State Bryan last night made a
fiat denial of the report that William
G. Sharp of Elyria, recently appointed
ambassador to France, was to be re-
called because of indiscreet remarks
made in Paris.
THE report is pure fiction," said
Secretary Bryan.
Asked as to the nature of the indis-
Greet remarks alleged to have been
made by Mr.. Sharp Secretary Bryan
said:
"Mr Sharp has made no remarks
of any kind, indiscreet or otherwise,
since reaching Paris, so far as this de-
partment has been advised. There has
been no intimation or suggestion of
any such thing and no complaint from
France or any other European power.
The report that Mr.. Sharp is to be re-
called is fake"
Secretary Bryan expressed indigna-
ton that such report should be given
credence. He stated that Mr.. Sharp
was working in perfect harmony with
Myron II. Herrick of Cleveland, who
will remain at the United States EN-
bassy in France as long as war con
ditions remain acute.

THE AUTUMN PLANTING
Of THE ORCHARD

considered advisable to dig
the tree holes large enough to accom-
modate all the roots without seriously
twisting or bending them. Some COM
mercial growers, however, cut off prac-
tically all roots and tops and ram the
stubs into holes made with crowbar.
Good results are secured by both plant-
ers. For general adoption the former
practise seems best. In digging the
holes it is advisable to throw the sur
face three to five inches of soil in one
pile and that below it in another, then
to use the top soil for working around
the roots and the other, poorer earth
for placing on the surface. When a
couple of inches of soil are above the
roots it should be tramped down thor
oughly and each additional couple of
inches also tramped down until the
hole is full Then some earth. from
close by should be thrown loosely up
on the tramped soil and left thus. If
the situation is windy, it may be ad-
visable to tie the trees to stout stake
to prevent being made loose.
Mice injuries can usually be pre-
vented by keeping straw, grass and
other harbors away from the trees.
Both mce and rabbits can be prevented
from gnawing the trunks by placing
galvanized hardware cloth of about
one half nch mesh around the trunks
| from about three nches below ground
up to a height of "a inches This
should form an interlocking tube
around the trunk and be large enough
in diameter to allow for at least five
years growth. With most fruit trees
this will mean diameter of about five
| inches.
The chief advantages of fall plant.
ing other than noted above are that the
trees are actually in place and ready
to start into leaf as soon as spring ar
rives; for they gain q root hold in the
autumn and are, therefore, established
often efore it is possible to set trees
in the spring. One important thing to
insist upon when buying is that the
leaves must not be tsripped off the
trees to hasten maturity.

A coPLE OF RECRUITS
cleveland Plain Dealer)

cleveland Plain Dealer)
Fate has been kind to James M. Cox,
governor of Ohio in several respects.
1t is conspicuously kind in giving him
for the approaching campaign the ac
tive hostility of Harvey CARRIER.
On the other hand, it is difficult to
understand why Frank B. Willis,
young man of considerable promise
and Republican candidate for govern
or, should be hampered with Garber's
support. Mr.. Willis has hard fight
before him; his friends should have
endeayored to keep CARRIER neutral at
most.
CARRIER belongs to no party. He was
formerly a Democrat, but that party
threw him into the discard years ago.
He is out of harmony with everything
constructive and progressive.
A militant Democracy doing useful
things for the people Of its state could
no more be in partnership with Gar
ber than water could be mixed with
oil. Such elements can't work in har-
mony. Garber's outspoken favor is "A
blight.
He has been identified with no sin
gle principle for which the party of
Cox and Nichols and Greenlund have
been contending in this state for ten
years. CARRIER was content to be II
good Democrat as long as the party
consented to be run by CARRIER. When
the party really awakened to its power
to do things it was obliged to cast
CARRIER off as excess baggage. War
craft cannot be incumbered with use
less furniture.
1t was Judson Harmon who rid
Democracy of CARRIER, and the act was
one of the most useful performed by
that great Democratic governor. II
CARRIER is now ready to join Willis II
is not surprising from Garber's stand
point though 1t does require some in
genuity to explain Mr.. Willis acquies
ence in the new alliance.

DRESSMAKERS TAKING UP
IDEA OF AMERICAN STYLES

Already dressmakers are beginning
expect are to originate in America for
the spring season. Political disturb
ances came so late that Paris had pro-
duced the styles for fall, but, with
many of those establishments closed,
il appears to rest with American man.
ufacturers not only to be awake to
their opportunities but to do some.
thing to meet the worlds needs in the
realm of fashions, and it is said that
next spring is the time that will test
the ability of the American makers
and designers.
Some of the dressmaking clubs are
trying to get all those interested in
women's clothes to give their thought
and attention to the situation, so that
when the time comes America will be
prepared to give some artistic designs
to the women of the country.
After being dependent on the manu-
facturers of another country to pro-
duce the styles, it may take some time
for the domestic makers to adjust
themselves to conditions, but with the
disturbance coming at this season
sufficient models were here, "to show
which way the wind blows" and with
many of the buyers returned from their
European trips the American dress
makers will have time to become ac-
oustomed to the idea that they must
originate instead of copy.
1t is believed that the makers of wo-
mems clothes in America are as CAP
able of originating beautiful and prac-
tical modes as are those of any other
country, and the hope is expressed that
their fashions will not be so change
able as they have been the last few
seasons. There are some who declare
that the frequent change of styles has
defeated its own ends, for women have
found that they cannot keep up with
them as they could once, and many of
tucil nave SlNSh up LSiuS. hCJ sec
how useless 1t is to change perfectly
good garment which has been worn but
short time because there has been n
change in the cut and they continue to
wear it regardless of the mode. Many
have come to select styles which are
not extreme, and which will not look
striking if they are not strictly up
to-date.
Some of the manufacturers have not
ed this tendency with the trade, and
it is hoped and expected that they
win observe the apparent wish OF
American women and produce styles
which will be artistic and practical,
and allow them to remain long enough
in vogue for women to be able to feel
fitted to them and at the same time
know that they are really in the style.

SERVICE AND SAVING

Driven back to Washington by his
party leaders the stand pat Republican
candidate for governor has said that
ho will remain In congress to do his
duty. and-incidentally draw his $2l a
day. Before the primary and until the
penalty had been placed on absence
from congress, Congressman willis
did not hesitate TO stay away from du-
~. and while President Wilson was
wording for peace, the dutlful con
greasman was calling him 'puerile and
pusillanimous. Now since Willis has
been notified to stay out of Ohio, by
hts party leaders, and keep his mouth
shut for the sake of the ticket. he has
gone back to do his duty, That duty
consists OF opposing Wilson, and help
ing the reactionary element OF the Re

on The part of Congressman Willis ON
his return to Washington was to OPP
pose the legislation which favored Ia

Women have become so dissatisfied
with the former conditions that made
them feel out of style and old fash
ioned in dress before they had worn
it long enough to feel at home in it
that great number of them, and 1t is
believed large majority, would well
come readjustment of the whole sit
