They should not be used on dull days.
They prevent the strong sun from

hearty LAUGH.
A laugh is just like sunshine,
1t freshens all the day;
1t tips the peak Of life with light
And drives the clouds away;
The soul grows glad that hears IL,
And feels its courage strong.
A laugh is just like sunshine
For cheering folks along.
A laugh is just like music,
1t fingers in the heart,
And where its melody is heard,
The ills of life depart.
And happy thoughts come crowding
Its joyful notes to greet
A laugh is just like music,
For making living sweet.

OBITUARY

Myra, the second daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. w. r. Yelland, was born on
the old farm west of Sheffield and
there grew to womanhood. She COM
mitted her life to the Saviour's keep
ing at the old Mckenzie school house
when but a child. She afterwards
became Sunday school teacher and
an active worker in the Epworth
League in the little Mckenzie church.
After reaching womanhood's estate
she spent two years of her life in
Mason City and one in Sheffield and
then, in search of health, she went to
her uncle's at Kennewick, Wash.
After three years she came home to
spend one year with her parents be-
fore the happy event of her union
with Mr.. d. c. Gibbs, of Pasco, Wash.
A little over three years these lives
blended during which time she de-
voted herself with much energy to
the church in Pasco, often giving too
freely of her meagre strength, al
ways willing to help with the burden.
One little boy, Douglas Crowell Gibbs,
came to brighten their home.
Her spirit took flight while at
Sprague, Wash, whittier she had
gone for the best medical aid.
Mrs. Gibbs is survived by a hus-
band and son, father and mother
and two brothers and three sisters
and host of friends.
Thus beautiful life is snatched
from us, leaving us to cherish its
worth in memory and to draw COM
fort from the wisdom Of Gods word.

M. E: church last Friday afternoon,

Early Returns.

Detroit.-Fragmentary returns re-
teived bore out. the prediction of all
party leaders that the Michigan guber-
Material contest between Governor
Ferris (Dem.) and Ex-Governor Os-
born (Rep.) would be an exciting one
Three hundred and fifty-four state
precincts out of total of 2132 gave
Ferris 1924, Osborn 26,136, and H. R.
Pattengill (Prog.), 6955.
Osborn followers counted on a big
majority in the upper peninsula
The progressive vote was falling
below that cast in 1912. Frank E.

tives in congress seeking reelection,

New York.-District Attorney Whit.
man, republican, was elected governor
Of New York by an estimated plurality
of 10000 over Martin H. Glynn, dem.
ocrat, the incumbent
William Sulzer, who was impeached
and removed from office in the fall OF
1913, running on the prohibition and
American tickets, finished third, poll.
ing, it appears on the face Of incom.
plete returns, slightly more than 100,-
900 votes. Frederick NJ. Davenport,
progressive. ran fourth, with approx
imately $4,000 votes.
James w. Wadsworth, republican,
appears to have defeated James w.
Gerard, democrat, 4or the United
States senatorship by about $4,000.
cambridge Colby, progressive, was
third with vote that probably will
not exceed $4,000.
At republican headquarters it was
said that their entire state ticket and
a majority of their candidates for both
houses of the legislature had been
elected. The result became known
early.
Supporters of Governor Glynn had
hoped that he would carry greater
New York by 100000 and that Mr..
Whitman would come down to Harlem
with no more than a plurality of 75, 900.
These hopes were soon dissipated.
Virtually complete returns from the
city indicated that Glynn probably
would have plurality of between 5O,-
900 and $4,000 here and that Whit
mans upstate lead would be well up
word of 175,0OO.
Wadsworth polled good vote in
greater New York, approximately two
fifths of the total number of districts
giving Gerard lead of only about
10000 over his opponent. At the same
time Wadsworth had $4,000 lead in
a little less than one-third of the up
state districts.

WATCH YOUR TREES
Watch your tree" this is

Watch your tree" this is a
slogan every orchardist should
keep in mind the year around.
Just at this time Of the year
this is especially important. The
color of the leaves in the fall be-
speaks a language that every
rancher should understand.
Red Leaves, Danger Signals
When the trees begin to shed
their leaves in the fall very Of
ten tree will be noticed putting
on a beautiful red foliage. Now
when an engineer sees a red flag
ahead on the track he knows
that it is time to stop and inves-
tigate, that this red signal indi-
Gates danger ahead. When the
orchardist sees his trees put
ting on their red leaves in the
fall it is time for him to stop and
investigate, for that tree is CIV
ing him a signal that it's life is
in danger and needs his skillful
attention.
The Causes
The orchardist stops and says
to his trees in distress: what
are your troubles ?" One says:
Examine the bark of my trunk
and you will find that I have the
blight" Another says, "Do the
same to me and you will find
that I have collar-rot." Another
says, dig the soil from around
my roots and you will find that
1 have root-rot or blight, or
crown gall or root gall" Still
another says, Examine the soil
in which / have to live and you
will see that you have over
watered and drowned me-" and
another says "You didn't give
me enough water" And so the
answers come thick and fast.
Primarily the causes can be
traced to trouble in either the
base, crown or root of the tree.
Orchardist's Duty
First, mark all these afflicted
trees with a red rag so that you
can locate them when they have
dropped all their red signals.
Later, or as soon as you can,
investigate and find out the real
trouble. If it is blight, collar-rot
or root-rot, clean all the bark
away from the affected parts,
keeping your tools disinfected
and thoroughly disinfect the
wound when through. Leave
it open and exposed to the sun
for some time to thoroughly dry.
