A Combination Against Wilson.

|
Half way between Presidential
campaigns, the Republican Party
is without a candidate OF an Is
sue, and the PrOgressives have a
candidate and an issue, but no
party. There is an old tale OF a
man who could not walk, who
climbed upon the shoulders OF a
man who could not see, and one
furnishing the motive power,
and the other the power Of direc-
ton, the two cripples reached
their destination. Naturally some
of the Republicans and Progress
sives are now hoping to mount
the f|arseeing Roosev 1t upon the
shoulders of the blind Republican
Party, and so beat Mr.. Wilson in
the next race.
We don't believe the cOmbina-
ton will prove as successful as
the combination of the lame man
and the blind in the fable. 1t is
easy enough for politicians to
frame a terrible indictment a.

The new tariff has not flooded
the country with foreign goods,
and when the railroads get the
freight advance they ask for, or

Bitter Rot of Apples,


year beforeG If so, now is the
time to plan and carry out a
campaign against it, says the
State Fruit Experiment Station
at Mountain Grove, Mo, To do
this requires that you should be
able to recognize it in the early
stages, and understand how it
spreads and how it is carried
over from year to year.
The disease usually appears
about six to eight weeks after
the petals have fallen. In South
ern Missouri this means from
about the middle Of June to the
first of July, in Northern Mis-
Isouri a week to ten days later.
1t may appear earlier if the sum-
mer is hot and rainy or it may
Ibe delayed until August if the
first months of summer are dry.
it first shows as faint light
brown spots in the skin of the
nearly full-grown apple. The
sDots increase in size rapidly
and become darker brown and
sunken as they grow older.
When they are from one-quarter
of an inch to an inch in dia-
meter small black dots appear,
usually arranged in circles
around the center Of the spots.
These are the spOre pustles
from which ooze out pink sticky
masses OF spores that spread the
disease to other apples and
other trees. AS decay continues
1.-THE apples fall to the ground
worthless, and the orchardist sees
a promising crop ruined and
lost.
Bitter rot is carried over from
year to year in two different
ways. First, by diseased apples
which dry up into the so-called
! mummies and hang on the tree
all winter. Second, by diseased
spots-cankers-on fruit spurs
small twigs and on limbs up to
three and four inches in diamete
They may occur in the lower
part o. the tree but are usually
found in the upper part. Will

to find bitter rot cankers an,

Hooked in the cleanup is t.
keep a sharp watch for the frs

practically certain to be locate
near some canker or mummy.
81 There is good reason also TO
believing that wind and insect
i help to spread these spores, bu
as already stated, the most in
portant agents are rains an

Exeter Trainer to Handle University
Foot Ball PLAYERS for Two Years.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. April 9.-George
S. Connors, who for thirteen years has
been the trainer Of all the athletic teams
Of Exeter Academy. will be engaged as
the trainer Of the foot ball eleven Of the
University Of Pennsylvania by T. Trux-
ton Hare, the chairman Of the foot ball
committee.
Connors has developed winning track
teams at Exeter, and his preparation Of
the foot ball teams had been such as to
cause comment at many Of the New
England colleges.
Connors will practically succeed Mike
Murphy, for there has been no varsity
foot ball trainer since Mike died, and
the team suffered by reason of this loss.
1t is understood that Connors is to
have a two-year contract SO that his
work will continue through the regime
of George H. Brooke. who is the head
coach.
Lawson Robertson of New York, who
was also considered, has had little or
no experience with foot ball elevens, and
for this reason the Pennsylvania. foot
ball officials concluded that Connors,
with thirteen years Of active service,
would be the best man for the place.

CATHOLIC j. PLAYS
PRINCETON TODAY
Tigers Will Likely Prove a
Hard Proposition for
BrookIanders.
ZACHARY OUT OF GAME
FOR THE ENTIRE SEASON
Is Not to Be Allowed to Play Be-
cause of Conditions-Two Other
Colleges Scheduled.
BY n, G, BYRD.

Catholic University will meet Princeton
today, probably the strongest nine that
has been at Brookland this season. The
Tigers have been doing well in the few
games they have played on their home
field. and there is little doubt that c. U.
will be put to its most severe test. 1t
is more than likely that Trayers will do
the pitching for the local school. while
Princeton is almost sure to work its best
man.
This will be what C. L. considers the
most important contest on its schedule.
The Brooklanders had rather win from
Princeton than any other institution 1t
will meet, as it will be the first time
they have ever been In competition. That
the Tigers have a formidable aggregation
is certain. because In all the years that
Bill Clark has been in charge Of base
ball a poor team has not been turned
out. That the game should be well played
is only to be expected, as the Brook
landers have already proved themselves
to be of more than ordinary strength.
1t is more than possible that Catholic
University will be against the strongest
college nine in the east, and certain it
is that this is the first game in which
it has not been able to start favorite.
judging on the general showing OF the
Tigers in their games of last spring and
SO far this year, II one had to make a
selection as to the probable winner he
would be compelled to give them the adj
vantage This is not saying, though, that
c. U. does not have a good chance to
win. as what it may lack of starting on
an even basis is not much, if anything.
The Catholic University nine received a
decided setback yesterday when it was
announced that Zachary would not play
again this year. The Brooklanders lose
one Of their best men. and probably the
most valuable player on the squad. Zach
