can readily be distinguished from that
Of leaf curl. The leaves affected by
aphis do not become thickened and
reddish or yellowish green in color.
The spores of this fungus live under
the rough bark and in the crevices Of
the twigs during the summer and win
ter months, terminating early in the
spring and attacking the young leaves
as soon as the leaf buds begin to ex-
pand. Cold, wet weather during the
months Of April and May favors the
development of the fungus and largely
determines the amount Of injury.
Warm, dry weather tends to check the
growth Of the fungus and under such
conditions the injury is slight.
The disease can readily be con-
trolled by thorough application of
concentrated lime-sulphur before the
buds open in the spring. Bordeaux
mixture, applied early in the spring
before the buds start, also will control
leaf curl, but the lime-and-sulphur
mixture is advisable because it will
control San Jose scale as well.

RED AND BLACK RASPBERRlES
Plants Should Have Shallow Culture,

Is Profitable.

Red and black raspberries should be
set six by six, which will require 1910
plants per acre. These plants must
have shallow culture, as their roots
are all near the surface. Many fine
plantations are almost ruined by deep
culture. The crop is profitable when
picked on time, and neatly marketed.
A grower can pay for his land in a
single season with a good crop of ber-

With Insurance Meeting
Barred From Y. M. G. A.
Assailant Of Former Governor Cox Is
Given Another Setback In His
Efforts To Organize Local
Agents To Fight Com
pensatlon Law Az
1t Stands

On account of its alleged political
character, the meeting of insurance
men OF Knox county, scheduled for
Saturday afternoon, will not be held
in the Y. M. c. A, building, Secretary
Spence announced Friday.
The meeting was called by Albert
N. Wold field secretary Of the Insur-
ance Federation OF Ohio, In a letter
directed to insurance men here, cop.
les of which were received Friday
morning.
Since the federation Is fighting the
worlSmens compensation law in its
present form and since Mr. Wold has
at least on one occasion, openly de
nounced former Governor Cox, the
presumption is that tho purpose of
the meeting, in organizing to fight the
law as it now stands, Is also to fight
the reelection OF former Governor
Cox.
As the Y. M. C. A. is not supposed
to be used for anything even sayorine
OF partisan political character, Sec
retary Spence stated Friday that the
men could not meet there,
II will be recalled that chamber OF
commerce officials decided not to al
low their headquarters to be used by

Two men, demanding admittance to

Thursday night on the grounds that
one was an officer with search war

when she called Marshal Jones who in
turn sent a farmer to her aid--so
thoroughly frightened Fannie Hawk
that she appeared before Mayor Mitch

davit, charging one OF the supposed
intruders, Lester Shoupe, with tres
passing.
A warrant was placed in the hands
of Sheriff Woolison, the arrest made
and, when Shoupe waived examina-
tion before Mayor Mitchell, his hear
ing was set for Monday afternoon at
/ o'clock
Mrs. Hawk, who was alone in the
house at the time with her two sons,
aged 10 and 8 years, narrates that she
heard a pounding on her door between
8 and 10 o'clock at night The door
was locked and, frightened from the
outset, she called out, inquiring who
wanted. in. One of the men told her
he had a search warrant and an Off
Ger of the law with him to make the
canvass of the house.
Mrs. Hawk went to the telephone
and called Marshal Jones of Freder-
icktown. This official got into com
munication with farmer who re-
sides near the Hawk residence and
the alleged intruders, on the appear
ance of the farmer, were put to rout.
Determined to put stop to such
practices, Mrs. Hawk caused the ar

State Auditor Vic Donahey is the
sstate bookkeeper. His record is taken
from the vouchers paid. His books
-show that in the last fiscal year Mr..
Willis spent $19,695, ,902.S3, more than
ever was spent in any one year pre-
-ceding. 1t is $519, .S9 less than the
actual receipts for the same year.
The report shows that the personal
pay roll of Governor Willis, which
Ueans more office holders, has In.
creased S575, ,55o.60 In one year.
The people are not likely to pay
much attention to an alibi report
made by Budget Commissioner E. M.
FNullington. They recall that Mr.. Full
aington had his training in the good
old days" when they knew how to
1uggle figures as was evidenced in
the state treasury investigation. The
Fullington report, however, easily ex-
plains why Willis blocked his own
recommendation to transfer the budg-
ct making to the Office of the state
auditor where presided Vic Donahey
whom MIR. Willis himself, two years
ago called "the only honest Demo
-crat in the state house" Notwitb-
standing this action would have saved
the taxpayers OF the state $9,19l.33, it
was not done. Evidently the COVER
nor thought an alibi for his extrava-
gance and lack Of economy would be
worth that much to him for campaign
purposes so long as the public, and
not he, had to foot the bill.
Mr.. Fullington has now been trans
ferred to the state tax commission,
where, with his old chum, j. II. Nc.
GifTert of the McKinnon-Guilbert ma"
schine, he presides over the taxation
OF corporations. They knew the

WILSON
And Cox Will Garry Mt.
Vernon This Fall
According To Indications Of Straw
BalIot--Peopie Are Realizing
Worth OF Wilson And In
capacity OF Willis-A
Strong Sentiment
ls Shown

Wilson and Cox will carry Mt. Yer
non, according to indications of the
straw vote conducted by the Column
bus Dispatch.
The results of canvass of the
business houses and streets of Mt.
Vernon show a strong sentiment in
favor of the Democratic presidential
and gubernatorial nominees and
serve only to bear out a feeling which
is known to have existed for some
time favoring the election of Wood
row Wilson and of James M. Cox.
The canvass shows that Wilson re-
ceived total of 38 votes as against
26 east" for Hughes. In the state,
Cox was the choice of 80 voters and
Willis of 30. Two years ago, these
same voters, according to the straw
would have lined up in this way: Cox
20, Willis 25, the difference in the to-
tai being accounted for by the fact
that number who signed the straw
ballots did not indicate their choices
in 1914. OF these, 13 voted for Cox
and 6 for Willis.
If the results of this ballot were
applied to the city, both Wilson and
Cox would gain overwhelming victor
les. The straw ballot only empha-
sizes that the people appreciate what
wonderful president Woodrow viii
son has been and also realize the
shortcomings of Willis as governor.
