PREVENT W0RMY APPLES.
WOrmy Apples Can be Prevented b
Timely Spraying.

The cOdling moth or apple worI
causes the greatest loss to the appl
crop in the United States; and part
cularly in Wisconsin it may be con
sidered our greatest apple pest at thi
time. This insect was introduced froi
Europe many years ago and is no
found in practically all of the appl
growing regions OF the country as we
as many foreign countries. It's ray
ages and damage to fruit trees ca
be readily controlled by spraying
the proper time with arsenical po
sons as described below.
The growth and development of th
ct:-Refore treatment it is we
to know the main points in the Lii
history of this insect which produce
two broods during the year: tw
broods of the apple worm being pre-
duced each summer.
The insect overwinters as a larv
in silken cocoons spun underneat
loose pieces of bark on the tree or j
cracks of boards, boxes or barre
or rubbish wherever favorable lodt
ment can be found in the fall. Ear
in the spring the larva in cocoo
changes to a chrysalis and emerges {
a tiny moth soon after the bloomin
period of the apples.
First brood:-Eggs are laid on Il
young apples and leaves at this tin
from which hatch tiny larvae

young apple to drop from the tree

drop" is generally the result of tn
attack. When the larva is mature

an adult moth about the last week
July.
Second brood Eggs are laid abo
the last week of July or the first wet
of August and another life cycyle
above is passed except that in Wi
consin the mature larvae spin up
favorable locations and remain so ov
winter, as described above.

the petals have fallen from the tree
second application of the saI
strength should be made about tI
weeks later No further spraying

of July or the first few days of Au

These spraying will also control
other foliage-eating caterpillars

will not be necessary. These ire

with the aid of propr spraying app

SCHLUETER REPRESENTS
CITY AT GENERAL SYNOD
Rev. ]. Klingmann and William Cor
der, Sr., Elected to Northwestern
College Board at Meet.
PRESENT BUDGET OF S7O,549.OO

Prof. Theodore Schlueter of this city
was one of the delegates named to
attend the annual convention of the
general Lutheran synod at Toledo
Ohio, in August. He and the other
delegates were elected at the meeting
of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod
of Wisconsin held in Milwaukee yes
terday
P ]. Meyer of Oconomowoc will
represent that city.
William Gorder, Sr., and Rev julius
Klingmann were elected to the North
western College board
The matter of organizing benevo-
lent society for the purpose of caring
for widows, orphans and ihvalids was
taken under advisement. A report
will be made later
A budget of $40, $4,000 was presented
for the coming year by the financial
committee.
The subject of the judicial side Of
merging the synods of the northwest
into one body was taken up this
morning.
The Rev. Franz Schumann, Green
Bay talked on Prohibition and the
Saloon" at Friday mornings session
of the Evangelical Lutheran synod
of Wisconsin at Milwaukee. He ex-
pressed his sentiment as Prohibition
is not a moral demand. 1t is not en-
joined by the scripture, which is the
sole authority on spiritual and moral
questions. While the manufacture,
sale and use of alcoholic beverages
is not wrong in itself, keeping a sa-
loon is connected with so many dan
gers to a persons spiritual welfare
that Christians are earnestly advised
not to partake in the traffic"
His talk was followed by lengthy
doctrinal discussion.
One delegate said, Evangelical
Lutheran's don't exactly favor the sa-
loon, and yet we are not altogether
against it. We and our ancestors be-
fore us always have partaken of beer,
lily as some others Besides as Bro
ther Schumann says, the bible does
not forbid it,
Part of the $70,549 budget passed
and further discussions took place
Saturday morning. The convention
came to a close this morning. Water
town received $21,6S5 of the budget
passed

Telegraphic instructions were is
sued recently by Pres. Taylor of the

of-town officials, stating that all reg
ular salaried employees who are mar
ried men, as well as all single men
who have relatives dependent upon
them for support, who as members of
1916, have responded to the presidents
call for military service, will receive
sufficient salary to make up any de-
ficiency between the government al
Iowance and the rate of pay which
they have hitherto been drawing. For
single men without dependent rela-
tives, an allowance will be made to
them sufficient to make up one-half
of the salary which they draw regu-
lar from the company.
This provision will remain in op-
Grafton until December 31st, 1916
after which further consideration will
be given, depending upon the political
situation between Mexieo and this
country.
The American Express company
has arranged for welcoming back in
to it's service all enlisted employees
who make application to return with
in 80 days after they are mustered
out of the federal service.
1t was also announced that military
service would not interfere with the
IL, ~G l,
ployes who return to the company in
regard to the Benefit and Pension sys-
TEN, although the provisions of these
welfare organizations cannot be made
applicable while employees are not act
ually working for the company.
The American Express company
has an organization of over thirty
thousand employees, large number Of
whom are young men of military age

Jack London--A Fighting Man.

Answering the question as to
whether Jack London loved or de-
spised the fighting man, Edgar Sis
son, editor of Cosmopolitan Maga-
zine, says: "Mr. London would have
enlisted on the side of England He
did not tell me what he did in place
of going. but Mrs. London did last
week. He has been supporting the
mother of soldier"
This is the way so many thousands
of admirers want to think of Jack
London. 1t would seem that only a
brave, strong and kind man could
write Jerry" his last story, and
most fittingiy his best loved type
a dog-hero tale. "Jerry" starts in
