lily
He was educated by Mr.. GRADER. He
grew to manhood, married and became
a prosperous farmer. For several
years he has cast his ballot as any
good American.

challenged. Investigation of the sta
tutes show that Graher may file pc
tition in court for his vote. under the
clause which permits aliens who have
lived here Ave years previous to 1911
to be given citizenship.
The petition has been filed and Will

Special to Times Republican.
Ames, June 26.-"Unless something
is done at once, the 1915 Iowa apple
crop will be destroyed by apple scab
which has developed rapidly in nearly
every section of the state because OF
the wet, cold weather" is the verdict
Of Prof. T. J. Nancy. of Iowa State
College, after returning from a trip
that extended from Charles City 10
Burlington >and to Council Bluffs and
the southwestern section Of the state.
Extension workers from the college re-
port the same condition.
There is need for immediate ap-
plication OF the lime sulfur spray in
combination with the lead arsenate
spray This will be effective in stop
uing the scab If applied at once. Last
year the scab did not make its APP
pearance until August but it spread
rapidly and apples in unsprayed ORCH
ards were practically worthless. With
the appearance in June. it means that
the damage will be much greater"
To apply the sprays necessary to
check the scab follow the directions
given in extension bulletin No. So of
Iowa State College, entitled SPRAY
ing Practice For Orchard and Garden"
In this bulletin a description of the
disease is given, along with complete
directions for applying the remedy.
Copies of this bulletin may be obtained

WIND SKATERS OLD TREE.
D. A. r. May Restore Tennessee
Beech Marked by Boone.

Knoxville Tenn.-The famous Daniel
Boone tree, the inscription on which
linked the history of 156 years ago with
the present time. is no more. 1t fell
a victim to a windstorm recently, and
in falling was split, the split extending
thru the dimmed letters carved on its
bark more than century and half
ago.
The wrecked tree. beech. will be
taken in charge by John Sewer chap
ter of the Daughters of the American
Revolution, who will attempt to further
preserve the famous inscription OF the
noted hunter as marking a historical
event in the settlement Of the wilder
ness west Of the Alleghanies. The tree
was on the property of Lafayette
Isley, and the chapter will attempt It's
purchase from Mr.. Isley.
This tree has stood as proof that
Boone penetrated thru the eastern
chain Of mountains from his log cabin
on the Yadkin river in North Carolina
In 1850 altho contemporaneous his
torians place his entrance into the
wilderness. as the western country was
then called, several years later.
Historian Ramsey, who wrote the
Annals Of Tennessee" published in
1853, is the first to note the inscription.
and he credits his information to NJ
Cannon. Other historians, notably
Theodore Roosevelt. in his The Win
ming of the West" have followed Mr..
Ramsey in not questioning the anthem
ticity of the inscription.
Detailing events of the year 1861, DR..
Ramsey, in his annals Of Tennessee"
says:
AT the head of one OF the companies
(hunters) that visited the west this
year came Daniel Boone. from the
Yadkin, in North Carolina, and trav-
eled with them as far as the place
where Abingdon (Va.) now stands and
there left them
This is the frts time the advent OF
Daniel Boone to the western wilds is
mentioned by historians or by the sew
eral bographers Of that distinguished
pioneer and hunter.

APPEALS TO YOUNG MEN.
Urged TO Become lenders in Moral Up.
lift Movements.

Indianapolis, Ind. June 26.--Rev. M.
8. Rice. OF Detroit, In an address today
to the national convention OF the anti
saloon league. made an appeal to young
men to become aggressively active IN
church affairs and to continue as lead
ers in movements fostered and ap-
proved by christian churches. lie said
the campaign for prohibition was one
OF these movements.
There Ia irresistible challenge In a
hard task for the eager spirit OF youth"
said DR.. Rice. whose subject was The
Appeal to Youth" He added:
This accounts for the increasingly
evident presence of youth in the church
today. The emphasis OF christianity 10
today set on worldwide program OF
righteousness rather than more SAL
wage Of life out of wrecked and
abandoned world. That change of en-
phasis has enlisted the enthusiastic at
tention Of the youth Of the world, be-
cause 1t proposes task which means
difficulty but which offers the crown OF
victory such as can be won only thru
difficulty
THE greatest compliment that thus
far has been paid to the Church of
SHiist VII editH' lies SisaiiS eouuy -
the fact that it has achieved the place
Of genuine expectation in the whole
worlds problems. Largely the story
OF the church has been written in the
price of martyrdom and sacrifice. hero
ically paid to gain standing room on
earth. That part of our history has
been written and written well. And
today, with standing room won, the
world is turning to the church and de-
manding vindcation for the liberation
1t has won.
What is the church going TO do
about 1t? Is the big question today
which comes from troubled life in COM
merce. politics and society. i am very
sure I speak with the correct judgment
Of youth. when / say that such fact
has been challenge for 1t. 1t can
be followed into every phase of pres
ent day liabilities. But perhaps no.
where can it be more convincingly seen
than in that rapidly arising opportunity
which presents itself today in the alb
solute destruction of the saloon and
the elimination from society Of the at
tendant evils 1t fosters.
81 stand here speaking for youth. to
youth, and as a young man. 1 am con-
fident in my declaration that the pro-
gram-written large and expectant-
will find a growingly eager enlistment
of the strong young people of the ma

Des Moines, June 2S.-The state free
employment bureau today received an
application for farm work from an
Englishman in st. Peters, Barbados
British West Indies. He states that he
is single. aged 80. experienced in farm
work, good morals and can furnish the
best Of references. That Iowa Is IA
nous for its farms is evidenced by the
fact that applications for, farm work
from residents of at least twenty states
are now on file with the bureau A
great many of these are from people
who formerly resided in Iowa and wish
to get back.
The bureau is experiencing some diff
fculty in supplying the demand for
single farm hands. The calling out Of
the national guard is partly RESPONSE
BILE for this. as large number Of the
new recruits are young farm hands.
This is especially true in sections
where the cavalry is located.
