GOOD PROTECTION FOR TREES
Pennsylvania Expert Recommends
That All Litter Be Removed and
Earth Mound Be Erected.

The damage to trees, particularly
In young orchards, from gnawing by
rabbits and mice during the winter
time is very great. Last winter in
particular there was an unusual abund-
ance of field mice. When the snow
thawed from meadows the burrows of
mice could be seen extending in all
directions. Many young trees planted
in sod or where manure or mulch
came closely around their bases were
completely girdled by these animals.
AS a precautionary measure, Profess
sor Paddock of Ohio college of agri-
culture recommends that litter of all
kinds be removed from around the
trunks of young trees and that six
inch mound of earth thrown about
trunks OF such trees is also good
plan. This protection of earth also
safeguards to certain extent against
winter injury.
One does not want to go to the other
extreme, however, and remove all COW
ering from off the young tree roots.
Experiment has shown that certain
amount of organic matter in or on the
soil will often protect the trees from
injury during hard winter.
Rabbits are always present and the
possibility of injuries should always
be guarded against. One of the ways
recommended for preventing the rab-
bits from gnawing the trees is to pro
tect them with some form of tree
protector. This may either be cylin
der Of fine-meshed woven wire OIL
wood veneer or cloth.

APPOINT PASTOR FOR
CATHOLIC PARISH HERE
Father BIeCkmann of Michigan
City is Named BY Bishop
AIerding Thursday Local
Catholics Surprised.

According 10 a dispatch received
from Michigan City. Ind. Father John
II. Bleckmann, assistant pastor OF ST.
Mary's Catholic church of that city,
was appointed Thursday afternoon by
Bishop Herman J. Alerding OF Fort
Wayne, as pastor Of new Catholic
parish TO be established on the north
side OF Mishawaka.
The announcement created much
surprise and favorable comment here
from Catholics on both sides of the
river. The announcement was Off
cially made by Bishop Alerding, who
was in Michigan City Thursday.
When asked regarding the matter,
Dean l. a. Moench OF ST Joseph S
Catholic church of TINS city. stated
that he was not sure that the APP
pointment was TO take effect at once,
and that the parish would be immedi-
ately organized. However. he said
that he expected that the north side
parish would soon be established.
The establishing of a parish on the
north side has been long desired. but
in late years nothing has been done in
way of having one located there.
The first movement along this line was
made in June Of 1908 when Vincent
Drummer. Michael HuenerkOpt. d. NJ.
McKindley and Otto Munich visited
Bishop Alerding at Fort Wayne and
laid the proposition of a new parish
for MishawalSa before him. The mat
ter met with the sanction of the bish-
op and the committee was advised TO
continue their efforts. Returning 10
Mishawaka the men made a canvass
OF the north side Catholics. some loo
or more, and secured a bona fide sub
scription list of over $4,000 toward n
new Catholic structure. The matter
was again presented to Bishop Aler-
ding and the committee received his
approval of the matter. However
later in the year Of 1909 the matter
was dropped and but little along this
line has since been done.
II is expected that when the new
Catholic structure is built, il will be

HOPE BAND POLICY WILL
NOT BE misunderstood
EDITOR OF The News-Times.

Editor of The News Times
There will be no concert on the
south side of the river saturday even
ing. the band being hired 10 play at
the Wilson picnic in the new amuse-
ment park.
Perchance some Of the good citizens
of the city and loyal supporters of
the band might misunderstood the
policy OF the band in allowing this to
take them away from the regular Sat-
urday evening concerts We wish to
say that IL is the understanding OF all
bands throughout the country. when
hired at an advance price. that they
are at liberty To occasionally play
when II conflicts with the regular con-
certs providing such playing Is for the
public interest.
The reason may be readily explain
ed. People Of the city appreciate the
value OF a good home band, and are
also thankful that the band is good
enough to be in demand for such an
occasion as the one Saturday even
ing
Tn purpose of the weekly concerts
has been TO boost the city and pro-
mote larger business to our business
men. Let il be known that the
Wooden Co. band will always have
the interests of the city and its busi-
ness at heart. and may always be
found loyal to them.
on account of the rain last Satur-
day evening. there will be no charge
for the part of a concert which was
given, and those contributors who
were seen by the collectors are paid
in advance for the next concert Civ en-.
