POINTS TO REMEMBER
BY HELEN WATTS M'VEY.

For lasting labels on plants ex-
posed to the weather, cut strips of
zinc, expose them to the weather for
few days and then write the names
of plants on them.
Spray chrysanthemums for the black
beetle; make a strong suds by shaw
ing cake of white soap in boiling hot
water, and when dissolved, add half Of
it to pailful of hot water; apply with
the hand can bear. Drench the beetle
well.
After a shower, or when the foliage
is wet, give the rose bushes
thorough busting on all sides, with
sifted wood ashes.
If this is done whether insects ap-
pear or not, it will save trouble
Bignonia cupreolate is said to far
exceed the ordinary trumpet flower,
Bignonia radicans, in beauty, though
it is hard to see how it can. Both
vines are absolutely hardy, and in the
southern states grow wild.
Give the lawn dressing of fertiliz-
er in midsummer. If you have no old
fertilizer, well rotted manure, get the
commercial fertilizers as they are not
expensive, and be liberal with them.
Adjust the knives of the lawn
mower to cut about two inches above
the crown of the grass plant; keep
the grass growing well, remove all
lawn clippings and put them in the
manure heap
Do not fail to get root of Trade
scantia Virginica, known commonly as
''Spiderwort," "Blue-eyed Mary" and
by a few other names.
The plant is perfectly hardy, will
grow anywhere, but prefers a reason
ably moist situation.
1t does not ask nursing, blooms from
June TO frost, the flowers are most
heavenly blue, and the foliage is
delicate and ornamental.
The blossoms close by noon, in the
sunshine, but on cloudy days, or in the
deep shade, keep open all day. They
are so beautiful that florists are prop
agating and selling them.
After preparing the soil, SOW or
plant the seeds, water well and cover
from the hot sun until the plants ap-
pear: then gradually uncover.
Never let the soil get dry, and pro-
tect from sun and wind with either
cloth, paper, or lath frames. The Sc
cret of success with late summer plant
ing seeds is shading the plant and
giving moisture until well started.

will kill man if they strike him IN
the head, provided they are thrown
from 200 feet or over. Of course, the
aeroplane is always much higher than
that when flying over the enemy. But
don't think these projectiles do much
damage and the German aircraft don't
use them.
The chief use of aeroplanes is to
direct the fire Of artillery. Some
times they circle and dive" just over
the position of the place which they
want shelled.

PLAYERS GETTING TOO MUCH
President Charles Ebbets of Brooklyn
Team, Says Salaries Are Alto
gether Too High.

Charley Ebbets, president of the
Brooklyn National League club, de-
clares that salaries of ball players are
away ont of proportion to the value OF
services rendered by the men and that
he for one does not intend to be held
up by them any longer. If they are
not satisfied with what he offers them
they can jump to the Federal league.
Discussing the subject not long ago
Ebbets said:
I've grown tired Of coddling the
players and submitting to their hold-up
tactics. All last season tried to keep
my players in line by meeting he Fed
eral league offers. That has cost me
a lot of money. But / am through
with those tactics.
THE whole gang can jump, If it
wants to. They can't gouge me for an
other dollar. Salaries have been boost
ed far beyond proportion. Every dol
lar being made in baseball is going to
the players these days.
I'm offering my men salaries that
think are in keeping with what they
earn. During the past year l have
paid them salaries above their on ming
capacity. I'm through now. A ~ Of
my men who want to jump can jump.
Ill fill their places; I'll get semipros.

for 1916 is explained by Mayer Power
as made to protect the village, should
the Harrison bill become law. The
village has contracted Indebtedness
of 100000 and outstanding orders
amounting to $3,250,OOO, he said. The
Indebtedness is said to be sanctioned
by the mining companies.
The action was declared necessary

viding the Harrison bill does not pass,
Mayor Power said, the levy will be
materially decreased and the village
again will do business under ordinary

NEVER SAW BASEBALL GAME
Man Employed by Cleveland Club
Twenty-Five Years Never Has
Been Able to Witness Contest.

The Oldest man connected with base
ball has never seen game.
He is David Riblet of Cleveland. For
~ years he has been present at every
game in Cleveland's baseball park,
and on such terms of intimacy with
the stars of the diamond that they
have called him dad" and Uncle,
but David refers to the stars as MI.
That's how much of fan David Is.
If Riblet lives until March Is he will
be ninety years old. For the last four
years he has been the Waterman in
the club rooms of the Maps. He says
he has reached the century mark.
"But don't ever expect to see ball
game" adds Riblet. You see, I'm one
of those kind of men who always stick
at their post, no matter what is hap
pening near by them"
For Is years Riblet operated the
turnstiles at the bleacher gate: He
says he sometimes grew a bit curious
to learn what was happening when the
thousands of fans shrieked their ap-
plause at some great play, but he
never deserted his post of duty.
And now Riblet can't tell a three
base hit from a strikeout.
"And l never got a chance even to
think about such thing as a base
ball until was past sixty years old"
said Riblet.

STATE NEWS IN BRIEF
DIVERT TRADE FROM DULUTH
Business Men Of Chisholm, Virginia
and Bull Plan to Give Patronage
to Twin Cities.

Hibbing.-Business men of CHS
holm, Virginia and Bull are uniting to
divert their trade, which has previous
ly gone to Duluth from the range, to
the Twin Cities. Thousands of dollars
CT range money is spent in Duluth
every day.
Alleged misstatements of range con-
ditions, the garbIing of figures pertain
ing to expenditures, exaggerations
about needless improvements and a
definite movement to give the range
q black eye before the legislature, T"
are accusations against the Duluthians
and reasons given why range patron
age in the zenith city should cease.
According to Robert Stratton, presi-
dent Of the Hibbing Commercial club,
definite action to stop business rela,
tions between the ranges may be taken
at q meeting shortly. Mayor V. L..
Power has declared that the idea is
practical ana Rupert Swinnerton, viii
lage trustee, has urged that the Com
mercial club appoint delegation to
invite Twin City men to solicit range
business, which, it is said, will be
gladly given.
The Inconvenience of shopping in
the Twin Cities instead of Duluth is
said to be negligible. THE only diff
ficult thing" a business man said, lis
to break away from the Duluth houses.
Once this is done, however, the range
will De more Independent and better
off. In comparison with Twin City
wholesale houses the Duluth houses
sell at practically retail prices.
