For various reasons 1t is sometimes
desirable to change the top Of peach
tree from one variety to another. A
grower may find after his orchard be-
gins to bear that he has a larger num-
Der of trees of some variety than he
wants; block of trees may prove to
be some other variety than the one
ordered; or, for some other reason, a
variety is not well adapted to the
needs of the owner. In such cases he
has recourse to top-working the tree
either by budding or grating to de-
sirable variety.
The ordinary method of shield bud
ding is the one more commonly used
for this purpose. If the tree to be
top-worked is not more than two or
ticable to insert the buds directly into
the main limbs we'll down toward the
point where they leave the trunk. The
illustration shows a Triumph peach
tree that was budded to the Carman
variety when it was three years old,
after it's crop of fruit had been re-
moged The points where the buds
were inserted may be seen by refer
ence to the figure.
If the tree to be top-budded has
reached the age when the bark on
the main limbs has become too thick
and firm to be manipulated readily for
budding, 1t is necessary to head it

Hospital Grounds and Used as
Nurses Home.

An important real estate tranSac.
ton was consummated the fore part

cradle improvement for Denison, and
one that people generally will be in.
terested in. A deal was made on
Monday whereby Drs. Conn. Hartley
& Rosburg become the owners of the
property just north OF the government
building on North Main street. The
property was purchased from Mrs.
Mueller for consideration of s3450
and possession is to be given imme-
diately
DR.. Rosburg informs us that it is
the purpose of the firm to erect 4 elm
ic building on this site, which will cost
in the neighborhood of $4,000 They
are planning on building this fall. The
old residence on this lot will be moved
over to the hospital grounds, where it
will be remodeled and used for a
nurses home. The new building to be
erected will be similar to the new tel.
ephone building in design, being con
structed of pressed brick, and will con
tain a number of office rooms. This
building will not be used for hospital
purposes, but patients will be receiv-
ed here. diagnosis made and those
who do not require hospital care will
be given treatment here.
The erection OF this~buildng means
improvement to Denison and
helps to increase the phenomenal
building record OF 1915.

Over That Of Last Year, in Or
. der to Overcome Shortages
TOTAL TAX OF NINETEEN MILLS
Local City Tax Will Be Higher As
Council Raised the Levy at
Meeting Held Recently.

The board of supervisors was in
session the latter part Of the week for
the purpose of fixing the 1915 tax levy.
1t was found necessary to raise the
levy in several instances over that OF
last year in order to overcome short
ages The raise in the levy as made
by the board at the meeting last week
amounts to SO mills. The levy of a
year ago amounted in all to 16.6-mills.
while this years levy as just made
amounts to 19 mills. The levy for
general revenue and capitol extension
was raised 81 mill. the county was
raised from 3:5 mills to mills: the
insane tax was raised from A mill to
6 MILL poor from a mill to Z mill:
levy of 2 mill was made for county
drainage, while the levy for bridge
bonds was raised from 2 mill to 8
mill in order to take care OF the
bridge bonds which fall due next year.
Residents of DenisOn will particu-
larly notice the raise in taxes this year
over a year ago, inasmuch as local
taxes were raised considerably by the
city council at meeting held sever
al months ago: this together with the
county taxes shows considerable in
crease.

The high school foot ball season

week when they will meet the fast
team of the Carroll high school. The
game is to be played at the athletic
park on the college campus and will
commence promptly at 9 O'Clock. Lo.
cal foot ball enthusiasts are optimistic
about this game and do not anticipate
that the game will be a hard one for
the local team, but that they will win
a victory.
Never in the history of the high
school have there been as many aspir-
ants for places on the foot ball team
as this year, and for the past five
weeks twenty-five men have turned
out for practice. Prof. Albert Weiss
is head coach. and he is being assist
ed by Supt. G.. h. Humphrey and Prof.
Frank Lynch in rounding the men in
to shape 1t is impossible to get a

MANILA HAS SOME BOOSTERS.
Eight Auto Loads Visit Denisor Last
Thursday Advertising Manilia's
Fall Festival This Week.

On Thursday afternoon eight ma
chine loads of Manila boosters visited
Denison advertising their fuor days
carnival, to be held September 29th to
October I'd. The cars parked on Main
street upon their arrival in Denison
and an excellent band furnished music
out in front of the Crawford County
State bank, while several clowns fur
nished amusement for large thrOng
OF people.
When it comes to advertising the
business men of Manila are hard to
beat. and we can safely say that there
is hardly a person in Crawford and
Shelby counties who does not know
of Manilla's big fall festival. If the
roads are good there is no question
but what the festival will draw large
crowds from DenisOn.
The carnival will be held on Main
street in Manila and the First Com
mercial club have closed contract
with the Edward S. Peters Amusement
company. of Florence, Neb., to furnish
the entertainment. and we are told
that first class free attractions will be
given. One of the features OF the car
nival will be the daily balloon ascen-
sion and parachute leaps. The Peters
company carry an excellent band with
them and band music will be special
feature of the event. The committee
has arranged to hold dance in the
opera house each evening during the
carnival.

Heavy Damages Sustained by Farm
ers on Bottoms-Corn Under
Water and Crops Ruined

The ordinarily placid West Boyer
river went on rampage Sunday, the
result of continued rains on Friday
and Saturday. Early Sunday morning
the river overnowed its banks and by
afternoon the road between the |. c.
tracks and the Lehfeldt corner was I'M
passable. During the forenoon farm
ers residing on the west side OF the
valley We're able to drive to Denison,
the water reaching the bottoms of
their buggies, but when attempts were
made to cross over again during the
afternoon it was found that the water
had risen a foot and half and it
would be too dangerous an undertake
ing to attempt.
Old residents of Denison state that
the river was the highest on Sunday
that it has been for thirty years, the
highest stage it has ever reached be-
ing at the time Mr.. and Mrs. Black
man were swept Off OF the iron bridge
while crossing in two seated car
riage. The water did not cover as
much territory at the Sunday food as
the railroad rights of way tended to
contine the food water. Considerable
damage was done the corn crops on
the bottom lands of the Boyer valley.
Train service on the Boyer Valley
branch of the Northwestern was in
terfered with to some extent on Mon
day, but trains are now running regU-
larly between here and Wall Lake.
The rain caused havoc to the Mon
DAMN branch of the Northwestern
road as we'll as the Sioux City branch
of the Milwaukee. The Milwaukee
road was entirely out of business on
Sunday and their trains were diverted
at Arion and run down to Missouri
Valley and then OH up to Sioux City.

is not probable that machines will be
able to make the routes and teams will
be used. The change of routes has
not been popular among the patrons
of the county and people generally are
complaining over the conduct of the
post office department in putting the
new order in force. Certainly il has
not been popular move for the dem
ocratic party. For the present the
routes will be as follows: Fred Lyon

three and six; Elmer Ransom, routes
six and two. We have not been in
formed who will serve the patrons OF
