Fall Orchard Work.

General orchard pruning will
come later. but remove the dead,
diseased, or broken limbs at once.
Ragged wounds left where br anches
have been broken down by fruit, or
by ladders used in picking, leave
openings for cankers and other dis
eases. They should be pruned back
to the living wood so as to leave a
smooth wound which may be
painted to keep out diseases.
Make cider, vinegar, or dried ap-
pies of culls Those that are not
good enough for this purpose
should be fed TO the hogs, and the
worthless or decayed fruit which
clines to the tree should be taken
of. and destroyed in some way be-
cause it usually contains either cod
ling moth, or the germs of such dis
eases as bitter rot and scab.
Grass, weeds and litter should be
removed from the base of each. If
mice can fad nesting material
against the tree they are likely to
girdle the tree during winter Any
decaying plant growth makes a
good winter cover for orchard lands
but precaution should be taken to
prevent fire from spreading to the
orchard if this cover is abundant.
Drain the low places in the or
chard which are likely to collect
winter rains or melting snow. for
water standing in the orchard is
likely to do DAMAGE. c. Whit

Dawson.

DR.. John Robert Dawson. young
est son of Mrs. Rebecca and the late
|. I. DaN son was born on farm 6
miles Southeast of Monroe, in Rails
Co., March 5, 1882. His early life
was spent on the farm land his
knowledge of farm life and stock
added much to his success as a
Veterinarian in later life
He attended High School in
Monroe City and graduated as
Veterinary. surgeon and dentist
from The Western Veterinary COL
lege in Kansas City March 1903.
On January 1, 1908 he was mar
ried to nellie Brstow. niece of the
late Maj R. B. Bristow of Monroe
City To this union were born four
children, Virginia Elizabeth, who
died at the age cf' seven, Eleanor
Eliza who died at the age of two
and one half years, John Robert
and Margaret Ellen who survive.
He died Nov. 80, 1915 after a
brief illness caused from an over
dose of headache tablets. He
leaves to mourn his loss a wife, two
children. a mother. two sisters and
two brothers.
Doc" Dawson as he was known
far and near had an almost unriv
aled practice extending over a wide
scope of farm land well stocked and
few Veterinarians in the state had
a better knowledge of their work or
wider reputation as Vet" who
understood his business. Probably
no man of the community will be
more widely missed and his place
harder to fill Being a loving and
indulgent husband and father his
family are Frustrated over his sud :
den and untimely end.
He united with the Methodist
Church at the age of about 18 years
and the funeral will be conducted
from that church Dec. 2 at 10
o'clock. by Rev Hoy assisted by
Rev. Gott. ~

STOCK MARKET


 New York, Sept. 18.-Opening-Wja shares and motor stocks which came within that class were again the fea- lures of interest today. General Mo tors gained an initial advance of five points to 285 Studebaker made new high quotation on it's rise of 1 IA to 120 3-4 and Great Northern Ore which led yesterdays market, gained Is to AT 1-8 it's high price in some years. Colorado Fuel, Crucib1e Steel and American Steel Foundries and others of that group rose from fractions to a point. United States Steel mo&ed with in narrow limits on small dealings and railways showed no appreciable change. General Motors and Great Northern Ore made further advances in the first half hour.
 C1ose-Stocks of leading railways figured importantly in today's short but active session of the stock ex- change. After Iagging behind at the opening. advances ranging from 1 to points infused greater confidence into 'the speculative position. War issues continued to occupy first place, however, though here and there in- dicati ohns of further realizing were plainly seen. Automobile issues at tracted attention by reason of their continued advances, General Motors gaining a total of 10 at 29O and Studebaker advancing 6 1-4, making a. new record, of 125 3-4. There was a. further rally in the final dealings. which carried some of the specialties and railways to best prices of the day. The closing was strong. Bonds were steady.

DETECTIVES SEEK
 ROFRANO, WANTED
 FOR MURDER, HERE

!. Michael A, Rofrano, former deputy street cleaning commissioner of New York city, under indictment as the alleged procurer of the murder of Michael Giarmari. of that city. was hunted in this city yesterday by de- tectives from New York.
 Though word of the murder and possible flight of Rofrano to tfis city had previously reached the local de- partment, and sharp watch had been kept for him here. detectives from New York yesterday insisted upon wis iting Walnut Beach where they be- lieved the fugitive to be in hiding. He was not found and it is now thought unlikely that he will reappear sin these haur1ts where he is well known.
 That he may have reached this city by metorboat from Bayport, L.. |. is believed possible by New York de- tectives. That he was at Walnut beach is thought next to impossible for the place has been closely watch ed since the murder.
