Insuring lives is pleasant work, the life insurance man is
betting us that we Will live our whole allotted span. OF all the
tribe OF optimists he only is specific; all other hope is vague
and crude, but his is scientific. With skill almost uncanny. he
can read our vital meters and charge us in proportion now
shake hands with c. E. Peters.
Our lives are quite important from a human point of view,
and from the nature of his job, Glenn Peters thinks so too. He
charms us with a siren song and makes us sign our names and
then for years and years and years our pocketbooks he mains.
But when we turn to angels Glen will have to pay the price,
and all our friends will gather round and say Don I he look
nice?'
In fair Ohio he was born-the grand old Buckeye state
but Wheeling pleased his fancy, so he chose to emigrate. He
first engaged IN selling drugs, a job he understood, but later
quit that business TO sell something Just as good. He organized
a company Of which the town is proud, and praises of Con
sentative are sounded long and loud.
His square deal policy is one that makes hin many friends.
and courtesy another that brings in the dividends. He lines
up with the Democrats and with the antlered herd. but as a
man OF family, his policy's deferred. And as each year glides
smoothly by, his company expands, with thousands satisfied TO
know their lives are in his hands.

sell at any price, and are too poor to
offer to friends. But the man who
wants to sell his fruit at profit, or
who takes pride in the fruit he sup
plies his friends, must spray.
Self-boiled lime-sulphur solution, or
prepared lime-sulphur solution diluted
fifty to one, is the best spray for
peaches. 1t Is now too late to prevent
wormy fruit, but next year as soon as
the bloom falls, spray the peach trees
thoroughly with three to four pounds
Of arsenate of lead and six pounds Of
lime to fifty gallons of water. When
the calyx or husk falls from the
peach-about three weeks after the
bloom has fallen-spray with prepared
lime-sulphur solution, one gallon to SO
gallons of water, to which add three
pounds of arsenate of lead.
II no spraying has been done yet
this year, spray at once with the pre-
pared lims-sulphur solution diluted
one to fifty. Repeat this spray at In
tervals of three to four weeks until
a month before the variety is ripe.
Early varieties such as Greensboro
and Carman will require two sprays;
alberta, three; and late peaches from
four to six. A good force pump should
be used and a thorough job should be
made of it.
Bordeaux mixture is the best spray
for apples. The first spraying should
be done just after the petals fall and
before the scales at the end of the
tiny fruit close. Use four pounds
copper sulphate and six pounds OF
lime to 80 gallons of water, and add
pounds of arsenate Of lead to the
solution. The copper sulphate (blue
vitrioD is dissolved in barrel or
other wooden vessel, and the lime
Stacked In another. Strain the Stacked
lime and pour the two solutions to-
Sether, adding water enough to make
30 gallons. Apply with as much pres
sure as possible to force the spray into
the blossom ends of the fruit
After the first time, applications
should be made a month apart, omit
ting the arsenate. Summer apples
should have three sprayings and win
ter varieties six. The late varieties
are subject to bitter rot, which can
be controlled best by frequent spray
ing.
Spray early, thoroughly and often.
