I was the LIST of April when the
Powells moved back to the little
farm. and there was look of real
= happiness on Mrs. PowelPs face
when she was once more settled in
that quiet nook. The farm lay back
from the public road and was screen
ed from view by a grove of trees in
the pasture. The weather beaten farm.
house was also sheltered and shaded
by a cluster of wide spreading oaks.
But Sam and Florence were no less
pleased than their mother to be in the
country again. To live in the country
and to know the ways Of nature is to
love it always.
Before moving. however. they all
had made several trips to the old home
and done much work in the garden.
orchard and field The old orchard,
after receiving special treatment by
Sam, surprised Mrs Powell so that
she began to look on her son as very
remarkab BILE boy. When they first look
ed at it in February it was an un-
promising sight Dead weeds and bri-
ers stood shoulder high. sprouts had
grown up around the trees. and it look
ed as if there was but little life left in
the orchard. so many were the broken
and dead boughs.
"You might as WELL chop down the
old trees" said Mrs. Powell. They
are nearly all dead anyway"
Don't you believe itr' exclaimed
Sam. "You just wait till get through
with those cid trees. They look mighty
shabby now. but they'll come to life II
you give them a chance. I've just
been reading about how to work over
old orchards. Why, mother, If was
to cut them down and plant young
trees it would be three or four years
before we would get any fruit
Eyes, know that" replied bis moth
er. but l don't think these old trees
will bear any more"
Maybe not" said Sam, "but we car
try them can plant young trees In
the place of the ones that are entirely
dead"
So he set to work, moving dowI
brfers and weeds and raking them int
piles and burning them When thif
was done he took saw and pair OF
pruning shears and began on the trees
All the dead and broken limbs wer<
cut away. The orchard had been neg
lected so long that there were many
dead boughs, and it was a differen,
looking place when Sam finished prun
ing. The next thing be did was to bur
some chemicals and make solution
after a formula given in one of tn,
government bulletins With this solu
ton and hand sprayer he went owe
the orchard and sprayed each tree from
top to bottom. Next he broke and hal
rowed the ground, and the old orchar
had one more chance to live and thrive
for it was we'll pruned, the ground +
fine condition. and the spraying ha.
killed all the insects that were on tn
trees

Ward System Attacked by Lone
Member, Who Finally Gets
Six Amendments Through

Ward system and division OF author,
ity between two governmental depart.
ments-executiye and legislative; or
supervisors elected at large and hold,
ing both the legislative and executive
powers-this is the question Of the
hour upon which the Charter Conven.
lions committee is debating at length.
Last night a majority of four out of
the committee of five appointed from
the Charter Conventions big commit.
tee Of Is, voted for the ward system,
but the second idea Is not dead yet.
Francis J. Green will make a minor.
ity report to the committee of Is and
will fight the question out to the last.
He advances the following argument:
Government based upon ward cleo
tons means q government based upon
politics. We must not draw up this
charter with an idea that every citi-
zen is an ideal voter. II we were ideal
there would be no need for govern
ment. Is the ward system to be put
into this city, the ward system which
has already been driven out Of every
respectable and modern city on the
mainland? The system works out In
the following manner:
After the city is divided into small
wards, say nine In number, the voting
units are so small that among the
800 or TOO voters in each ward one
man Of oyerpowering personality
arises. 80 a. .~,-.E
He is sure to arise. He is the man
who does not care to make laws. He
knows nothing of legislation nor the
theories Of government. But he has
q broad smile! i - I...a 81
He has q broad smile and as he
goes along the street he greets the
voters he passes by their names. He
inquiries after Maggie and hopes that
her cold is better. He admires the
flowers in the front yard and asks for
one which he may wear in his button
hole, thereby registering at least 100
FER cent In the mind Of the housewife,
He loves politics as a great game
through which you get into office and
draw down fat salary and jobs for
your adherents. These are the men
who come to control the wards. ~, !. .
Mot Least Chance He Says. b
The man who attempts to make
good with his constituency simply by
making laws In their favor, has not
the least chance in the world against
the man who says the proper word Of
admiration for the flowers In the front
yard. This Is human nature. The
result viii be that our government
will fall into the hands OF a lot os
pleasant Incompetence. 81
Elect, instead, five men who will
have all the power. Let each man
stand for something distinct and diff
ferent and well known to the people.
Then when man finds broken
bridge In the road he will know Just
where to 90 to have II fixed and he
VIII blame the right man II 1t Is not
repaired at once. BY having the five
elected at large you do away with the

Before an insurance company will
