pany. He said IL the city did not do
this 1t was Sinking It's duty.
II can't help but recall the fact that
the severest criticism this ADMINISTERS
ton has had emanated from you by
your constant complaints last year over
the condition Of the street on which
you live, but now you say the street
is one of the best in the city. and you
oppose our effort permanently to I'M
prove It," caustically remarked Mr..
Bavis. Mr.. Gormon said that his CON-
plants had only been over holes left
by the service companies and a. cross
ing In front of his home.
Mr.. Bavis then took occasion to ely
that permanently improved streets 90
waited the necessity OF constantly max
ing repairs, and for that reasons pro-
gram Of permanent improvements to
put stop to the waste OF public funds
for street repairs had been decided on.
Opposes Boards Tyranny.
DR.. Hopkins, a resident OF North
Fifth street, spoke at great length
against the ''tyrannical" proposal to
pave that street. He denied that per-
| manent improvements enhanced prop
erty values, saying that he could not
sell property he owned now Tor Az
cents on the dollar. He said that u
was unjust to add burdens to tho 81
per cent OF the citizens who actually
pay taxes and pay for public improve
ments. He thought the money could
be better spent, painting houses and
repairing roofs. He read list OF ques-
tons, all of which had been previously
explained, and concluded by saying he
did not believe in CHEERS for tyrants,
but in tears for the tyranized."
J. F. Rowlett opposed the paving
of South Fifth street, because 1t was
macadamized only eighteen months
ago. The arrangements of two large
bakeries on that street, however, were
in favor of a permanent Improvement,
as they say the street is in horrible
condition the year round.
Asks Postponement.
Mrs Hurley in opposing the paving
of North Sixth street, declared she dld
not have another dollar to pay out Tor
public improvements. She said she
was Improvement poor" and that II
the street was made the city would
have to take her property away from
her. 81 leave this matter now with
you and your God who gave you life,
she concluded, and left the room cry
ing.
DR.. M. c. Benham said that he be
lieved in brick pavements. but In the
case of Sixth street he would like to
have it's paving postponed thirty OF
forty years.
The board received petition fol-
cement curbs, cutters and sidewalks
on South West Seventh from Main
street to National avenue.

"Two-legged pigs" we're not infrequent

when little Willie or little Mary show
ed too much OF the porcine propensity
along about mealtime, but the real
two-legged porker now makes its bow.
Its bow" is used advisedly, for Rosy

ORCHARD EXPERT
PREDICTS LARGE
YIELD OF FRUITS
Crops Weathers Winter Sue
cessfully Despite Severe
Cold-P. s. Brees Advises
Care of Trees.
BY 2. s. RREEs.

Fruit prospects for Wayne county
appear to be . little ahead Of the av-
erage this year, Notwithstanding the
severity Of the early part of the win
ter.
The late fall kept the trees growing
almost until cold weather set in, and
at that time there appeared to be
great danger Of winter killing the
fruit, but the wood ripened up hard
and now the seasons crops depends
upon the care taken of the tree this
spring.
First examine your trees to see If
there are any dead limbs on them, any
crossed limbs or any water sprouts.
See If the sunlight and the air can get
to all parts freely. See If one side Is
heavier than the other. II you find any
of these defects they should be RENE
died.
Observe Trees Closely.
BY a close observation and by keep
ing these points in mind you will have
a very good foundation to begin work
ing on.
Next the trees should be sprayed
with a "scale.a.cide" which may be
purchased at any drug store. Be sure
to put it on strong enough as it will
not injure the tree while too weak a
solution is only a waste of time and
material. With a high pressure pump
thoroughly coat every part Of the tree.
This must be done before the buds
begin to start.
Spray for the coddling moth just be-
fore the beds begin to open and Just
after the blossoms fall.
In performing this work the word
thoroughness can not be impressed
too deeply on tn emind for on 1t de.
ponds the success Of the greater part
of the season. A great deal more might
be said on this. but If the reader
wants to know more I would advise
him to write to his experiment sta.
ton.

FEELING IN FRANCE FOR UNITED STATES
IS NO LONGER ONE OF FRIENDLlNESS,
RICHARD HARDING DAVIS DECLARES
Classed Most Important of the Changes Which Have Come
Over Nation Since Year Ago, When Germany
Pounded at Gates of Paris

feeling of our people toward France IN
this war is one of admiration. OF all
the allies, Americans who respect eff
ficiency probably hold for the French
the most hearty good feeling, affection
and good will. That through the gov
ernment at Washington this feeling
has been i'll expressed if not entirely
concealed, is unfortunate. Mr.. kipling,
whose manners are his own, has given
as a toast: Damn all neutrals." The
French are more polite. But when this
war is over we may find that in twelve
years.
