CRAFTS AN ENGLISH WALNUT
Industry Is RevoIutlonlzed by the Dis
eovery Of an Arizona
Naturalist.

Tucson, Ariz.-The walnut industry
of Arizona is being revolutionized by
the discovery of G. R. Biederman. a
naturalist, that the English walnut can
be grated on the native Arizona tree
and made to bear the new fruit the
following year.
Not only is the fruit richer and Of
more commercial value, but the char
acter OF the grated trees is changed
so that they are preferable to other
kinds for the purpose of Identification.
The state commissioner of highways
of Missouri, having learned of the pos
sibilities of the tree. has planned to
get Arizona plants to place along pub
lie highways of Missouri.

1t takes a brave man to save his
money these days.
Hep Hardy is one of those reckless
tip-tossers. He thinks that all silver
money should have a smooth surface,
thereby making it easier to slip a coin
to q waiter.
He is what the lauraieans would
call a pepper box of prodigality.
Hep hands out backsheesh like an
absent-minded farmer sowing grain.
Hep's trail through a Big Town
looks as though the cashier of a five
and ten cen store was walking to the
bank and had a hole in the canvas
bag.
When Hep starts out to pound a
public road with his rowdy-cart all the
walters in every h~ash-foundry within
sound of his siren fall fat on their
faces and yen, "Hallelujah! payday
Is here again."
Peaches and l dined with Hep at
the Saint Astorvilt Hotel night before
last. Hep likes to dine there because
the walters are French and when he
tries to say Good evening"" in their
native tongue he insults them so bit
terly he has to sprinkle the room with
tip-money in or1er to square himself.
Hep loves to Squeeze into a French
cafe, grab a Frenc. menu card, and in
a confidential tone give an order like
this to the French waiter: "Avec lie

1t is all due to his knowledge Of the
French language, swells up with pride
and begins to toss money into the air.
Hep doesn't know 1t, bat while he's

That's how good that lads French is

As a matter of fact Hep knows ex

little brother Angelo to get through
college, and thereafter for a period of
ten or fifteen minutes Hep was per
mitted to breathe quietly through his
nose, and his pocketbook enjoyed a
much needed rest.
Soon, however. another coughing
fit came on and his struggles for
breath were pitiful.
One of Efendi Boys ~heutenants,
made up to look like Ivan the Terri
BILE. rode up to our table to inquire If
a waiter had taken our order. Hep
told him no, but Ivan couldn't believe
1t. Ivan was firm in his disbelief un.
til Hep gave him money, then he saw
the light and went joyously away from
there.
Presently a waiter arrived who in
some other incarnation must have
been a pirate on the Spanish Main.
He had a chin which was divided
against itself, and a forehead which
was r~etreating hurriedly on the fourth
speed.
One look at Captain Kidd and ]
knew that Hep's desire to die poor
but popular would be realized.
All the time the Captain was taking
our order he was sizing us up and
hoping in Portuguese that Hops eye

Then he bore away. SOU by ~sou'east

the return OF the Pirate King, our
friend Hep was busy tipping.
Every time he took a cigarette from
his case four eager walters would
dash forward with lighted matches
and Hep, desiring to show no partial
ity, would slip a coin to each Of the
Mexican guerrillas.
One shark of a waiter swan

Helps serviette dropped from his knees
to the floor the shark would retrieve

It was one continuous orgie of tip
ping until finally we left the Prunes
Palace with Captain Kidd gloating
over the pieces of eight which Hep
had given him and singing to himself,
"Oh, ho-a bottle of rum on a dead
mans chestl"
Hep insisted upon taking us home
In a taxi so that he could tip the
starter and the chauffeur.
We stopped in the drug store at
our home corner to mail some letters
and even there Hep found a weighing
machine and tipped the scales.
There are ginks like Hep in every

Men who have devoted years to sci

fairly complete plans will have been
drawn.
At the exhibition at University col
lege the present condition and needs
of Belgium were illustrated and ex-
amples of the best work in town plan
ming carried out In other countries

A remarkable collection of old maps
showing the development of the old

SAFETY FIRST-AND LAST

The Central Savings Bank & Trust
company of Orleans, VT, has always
practiced the only bank policy which
insures safety first, last and always
for depositors. 1t is policy which
demands that every investment out
side the routine affairs of the bank
shall be based upon the collective
judgment of it's board of directors,
consisting of seven prudent successful
men.
The safety of bank does not depend
upon the amount of deposits nor upon
the amount of surplus and profits
appearing in the annual statement.
Immense deposits and large surplus
and profits offer no security to a
depositor unles the combined assets of
the bank are we'll invested.
| The Central Bank takes pride in the
amount of its deposits and it's steady
accumulation of surplus and profits
but it's appeal to the depositor is based
entirely upon it's safety first policy of
having board of directors who in
fact direct. Its funds are not at the
disposal of the whims, likes or dislikes
of any one man. We aspire to still
| higher place in the esteem of the
banking public as our policy of safety

Danger from Potato Scab.

Vermont farmers purchasing seed
potatoes from outside the state this
spring should use great care that the
new and dangerous disease, powder
scsb, is not introduced thereby. The
federal horticultural board Of the
United States department of agricul
ture has quarantined. on account of
powdery scab, the following areas ::
Nearly all of Aroostook county and
portions of Penobscot and Washington
counties in the state of Maine. and
the counties of Clinton and Franklin in
the state of New York These areas
contain the chief sources of supply of
the large seed houses of the country.
Therefore, all seed purchased by Ver-
mont farmers which are known posi-
lively not to have been grown outside
of these infested areas should be care
fully examined by Vermont farmers
before planting and specimens of
| tubers showing any signs of scab
should be sent to the Vermont exper-
iment station at Burlington by prepaid
express or by parcel post, in packages
marked with the address of the sender.
Powdery scab differs from the common
scab in that the seed can not be treated
by any known method so that the
spores are killed. and in Europe a
cankerous stage of the disease some
times causes almost complete loss OF
the crop. 1t means much to Vermont
farmers to keep this disease out of the
, state, because the penalty for no,
doing so will be the loss of an oppor.
tunity to develop a profitable seeo
potato industry and will mean the
issuing of a quarantine by the federal
government, which will make it neces
sary to have all Vermont potatoes
shipped outside of the state carefully
inspected. A little care exercised a.
this time, so that the disease may not
be introduced, will save lot of trouble
and expense in the future.
