from Eccles He answered it, and got
from Eccles the following:

Booth was dazed for a moment. Just
then the steamships Humboldt and Rupert
called the Ohio, and asked for her latitude.
Booth heard the call, and he heard Eccles
flash back the answer. In few moments
Booth heard Eccles again, and this time
he said:
Ohio sinking fast. Can not hold out Pas
sengers are being taken off in small boats.
Captain and crew will stick till last.
Humboldt and Rupert both replied they
were making for the Ohio at their utmost
speed. Eccles flashed back:
Passengers of and adrift in small boats
Captain and crew going off in last boat, wait
ing for me now. My God! I'M
The message was never finished. Oper-
ator Booth sent call after call to the Ohio
but got no answer. The Ohio had sud-
denly broken loose from the rock on
which she had been hanging. She sank
instantly, and Eccles was trapped in his
wireless house.
FREDERICK J. KUEHN, a New York
boy, only twenty years old, one of
the youngest men in the wireless service,
gave his life to save a woman, when the
Old Dominion coast liner Monroe was
rammed and sunk by the Nantucket off
the Virginia Capes.
The accident happened at two in the
morning. Kuehn stayed at his instru-
ment until he was told to 60; then he
snapped off his call and adjusted his life
preserver. He left the wireless house and
went to boat 3, which was just being
launched. A woman came running along
the slanting deck, crying. Kuehn asked
her where her life-belt was, and then
said: "Here, take this. I'll get another"
He took off his life-preserver. Just as he
finished buckling it around her body, the
Monroe took its long downward plunge,
and those who were still on deck were
swept into the sea. Thirty-nine were
drowned; the Nantucket saved lOl.
Kuehn was never seen again.
The pleasant fountain, the seats, and
the monolith in Battery Park are re-
minder of all these stories, and bring
together the names of these men who
never saw one another, but who possessed
one common quality. Probably not one of
them ever intended to be hero. They
were all young men, and went into wire
less because it was new and exciting
business and appealed to the imagination.
In new form of service they found an
old opportunity. They met it in such a
way that, though this profession is less
than a dozen years old, it has already q
fine tradition.

most friendly commemo- terror
rative works in New so"t OF
York, and, unlike most of
our monuments, it is beautifully placed
and humanity placed. 1t is single
plaster with loop of sea-shells and sea-
weed across the front, and the names
of the ten wireless men. The white pilas-
ter stands against thick clump of dark
green cedars, with the red brick wall of
the immigration Building behind them.
On either side of the monolith is long,
low granite bench, and in front of it is
generous granite bowl with drinking
fountain.
This cheerful monument has peculiar
attraction for the children who live in
the neighborhood of the Battery. They
sleep on the stone benches in the after
noon and play on them all the morning,
and spell out the names of the wireless
men and the ships on which they vert
down. These men all died in storm and
terror; but their names are brought to-
gether here and abide in pleasant place,
with cheerful companionship.
THE most familiar name on the monu-
ment is that of Jack Phillips, who
went down on the Titanic, and who stood
over his instrument until every life-boat
was gone, sending to the Carpathia direc-
tions as to how to reach the sinking ves-
sci. But for his courage and persistence,
the death list of the Titanic would have
been 1850 instead of 1896.
Harold Bride, the assistant operator,
was among those of the crew picked up
by the Carpathid, and his story of Phil
lips end was printed in the New York
Times when the Carp0thia arrived. Bride
had been asleep in the cabin behind the
operating-room, and had come in in his
nightclothes to relieve Phillips. Neither
Bride nor Phillips had felt jar or shock of
any kind, when Captain Smith appeared
at the door of the wireless house and said:
"We've struck an iceberg. I'm having
an inspection made to see how much we
are damaged. Be ready to send call
for assistance" Then he disappeared,
leaving the two operators astonished. In
ten minutes he returned, stuck his head
into the operating-room, and merely
said: "Send out the call for assistance"
Phillips began to send the G.. @. D.
Bride jokingly told him to send the new
call, s. o. S., as it might be the last
chance he would get to use it. Phillips
laughed and changed the call. He got
the Frankfurd, and told them the Titanic
was sinking by the head. By this time
the list forward was perceptible. Then
Phillips got the Carpathia, who said she
was putting about and making for them.
Phillips sent Bride to tell the Captain
the Carpathia was coming. When Bride
came back, he heard Phillips giving the
Carpathia directions as to where to find
the Titanic. He told Bride to get his
clothes on, and Bride realized for the first
time that he was in his nightclothes. He
dressed, put on an overcoat, and brought

AFTER PRUNING

The pruning of a two-year-old tree at
the time of planting Ia the same as
for one-year-old after one years
growth in the orchard.
THE one-year-old tree is a straight
whip, varying In length according to
the variety and the conditions under
which II has grown. The one-year
tree has the advantage of the two-year
tree In that the grower can start the
head at the point at which he desires.
The height Of heading should be be-
tween IA and "a inches. Whether the
trees are pruned to high or a low
head IL q personal question and there
are points in favor of both. but the
weight of facts Ia In favor of q low.
headed tree. The liability of damage
from sun scald is lessened, the trees
are easier to prune and to spray, the
fruit Is harvested more easily, and the
trees are not SO badly damaged by
wind.
THE method Of pruning is the same
for either type. The whip should be
cut to q bud, generally on the south
side, as the winds often reduce the
growth on this side of the tree. A
smooth out should be made, sloping
away from the bud to hasten healing
over. If the trees are strong and the
season favorable, from four to eight
shoots will be sent out on the original
stem. These shoots are to form the
scaffold branches.
improving Form of Tree.
"The pruning for the second ard
third years will consist in improving
and developing the form of the tree.
The main leaders should be cut back
as in the younger trees. The lateral
shoots should not be cut back so Sc
verely, for the grower should aim to
develop a good strong tree. II the
branches are crossing or interfering,
they may be headed back. or the weak
er shoots may be removed. All shoots
that grow back through the center OF
the tree should be removed.
1.-THE pruning from the third year
should be done SO as to form a COM
pact tree.
After this time, the formation of
the fruit spurs should be started. II
the growth Is very rank, the spurs
will form slowly, but In the slow
growing varieties the spurs are formed
early, Besides the natural forma.
ton, the heading back of the small
shoots may convert these into fruit
spurs. II this work on the young trees
Is done regularly. only small limbs

age than otherwise"

fewer BIRDS THAN

lection Would Increase Num-
Der and Decrease Pests.

Our bird population Is much less
than it ought to be. according to the
biologists. More protection and en-
couragement would help to increase
the number of birds and correspond
ingly decrease the number of insect
pests.
That breeding birds prefer thickly-
inhabited centers of population to for.

census. This refutes the widespread
belief that humans and birds are nat.
urally antagonfstic.

GET BUSY: LIKE UNCLE JIM
PARRISH.

Dear Sir: l am glad to start with
the good work of sending clubs from
Ashland, Ala, again. l just re-
turned here from Birmingham, Ala,
last Thursday, where l had been to
see my little girl, Rose Ella, who
graduated and received her diploma
on the night Of the 3rd inst, at the
Hillman Hospital. l enjoyed being
with her for a few days. In order
that her many friends who read The
Jeffs in dear old Georgia may know,
l will say that she will have to stay
and work until the first Of August
to make up some time that she lost
by being sick a few times while she
has been there.
hope Capt. w. E. Sans, Sheriff
L. A. Potts and R. A Carroll will
not think hard of their old friend,
Jim Parrish, for not getting The jeff
any sooner. | hope the 1913 sub
scribers 1 sent from December IL,
1914, to May II, 1915, will all re-
new before their time expires. If
they all love Hon. Thos. E. Watson
and the cause for which he is fight
ing like I do some of them would be
getting up clubs for The Jeffs, and
not wait for me to go back there and
do the work. Now boys, in dear old
Georgia, wake up, and some of you
go to work for The Jeffs and let's
help hold up Mr.. Watson's hands,
for do not believe there is better
friend to the common people in this
Nation than he is. Just think of the
brave fight he is making against the
Roman Ctholic dovilment at the risk
Of his own life! You cannot do a
more patriotic work than to work
for The Jeffs, according too old Jim s
notion. | am glad to be back at
Ashland, Ala, and some of my
friends here seem to be glad to see
