Borers attack most kinds of fruit
trees, also the different varieties of
locust and hickory trees. They are
most destructive to the apple and
peach. There are several kinds of
these worms; all of them live on the
soft bark of the tree near the surface
of the ground. The fiat back and the
round black head borers feed on the
apple and the soft yellow worm with
brown head feeds on the peach, april
cot and nectarine.
The eggs are laid early in summer
at the base of the trunk, near the
collar, where the bark is soft. There
they are Matched in June and July

ON A SHADY DEAL
I'll. Langwith Bound Over to Grand
Jury Accused Of Obtaining Whisky
By False Pretenses.

H. Langwith celebrated St. Pat
rick's day in Rock Island with a gal
Ion of whisky. He partly paid
for his damp observance when he
was bound over to the grand jury on a
charge Of obtaining goods under false
pretenses. His bonds were fixed at
$500. He was unable to provide bail.
Langwith. according to charges, in
a telephone conversation represented
that he was Jack Bryson, a former
Davenport saloon man. He talked to
Roddewig & Sons, wholesale liquor
dealers, located on Eighteenth street
between First and Second avenues. In
the conversation he said that he would
send Langwith to get gallon of Old
Crow. After the proper time elapsed
Langwith called and secured the
whisky, it is charged. When the bill
was presented to Mr. Bryson he had
no knowledge of receiving the goods
Suspicion fell on Langwith as having
impersonated Bryson over the phone.
He was arrested last night by Patrol

B. II. WILSON GIVES
LECTURE IN MOLINE

Burtis H. Wilson of Rock Island
gave his bird lecture before a large
crowd in the Moline Y. M. c. A. last
evening. He advised the provision Of
feeding and nesting places for the
birds of Rock Island county. Birds
are an economic asset, said Mr.. Will
son, and as such they are deserving
of protection. Feeding places, espec-
tally in the winter, will preserve the
lives of many songsters and other
birds which would otherwise perish
of starvation when the snow is on the
ground.
The lecture marked official launch

wards organization were taken after

WHERE VERMONT LEADS,

The government reports just issued
show that Vermont is the chief live
stock raising State of New England
and that it is advancing in this drec-
ton remarkably as compared with other
nearby States, says the Bratteboro Re-
former.
With the rapid increase in the use
of motor cars one might expect to find
the number of horses decreasing, but the
government assures US that the number
in New England at the present time is
800, 900, a gain of 1000 in five years, The
three southern States Of this section
have 5000 less horses than half decade
ago, but Maine shows an increase OF
1900 New Hampshire 5000 and Vermont
1000.
Rather curiously the loss in Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Is
land is ascribed to the increasing use
of the automobile, but more automobiles
per capita are owned in Vermont than
in any of these States.
The total number of milch cows in
New England is estimated at S25, 900,
or 5000 less than was recorded five
years ago, and the total number OF
"other cattle" is 5000 against 496,
600 five years before, The value OF
mich cows had advanced from S48, l6 ia
S62. 3S; and the average value of "other
cattle" is much higher than before.
Figuring the value of dairy cattle
at nearly $50, 600, 600, adding the value
of the other cattle, the capital invested
in the milk industry and other allied
industries, one quickly finds that the
investment in cattle and other associated
business is truly enormous.
In five years Rhode Island showed a
loss of 1000 in mich cows, Massa'
chnsetts loss of Is, 900, Connecticut a
loss of 5000, while Maine gained 1000,
New Hampshire 1000, and Vermont
1900.

Word was received Saturday night of

was brought here Monday night and

j. Blackmer. Tuesday it was taken to

SUPREME COURT NOMINATION.

The objection to the nomination made
by President Wilson to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Justice Lamar
of the supreme court is not that Mr..
Brandeis is a Jew. A Jew was once
prime minister of England and has as
good right as any man to be president
of the United States. Any one who
raises the religious issue in connection
with any American office does violence
to one of the nobest principles of our
democracy. 1t is an objection to Mr.,
Brandeis of some moment that he has
never displayed the judicial tempera
ment He has always been a partisan,
very intense partisan, and to say the
least he has never shown any desire to
do justice to the rights Of property.
But the most serious objection, and the
consideration which makes his nomina-
ton an incomprehensible act on the
part of Mr.. Wilson, is that Mr.. Brandeis
has never gained the confidence of fair
minded men who have had opportunity
to know him well as a man of rea
sincerity. He is given credit as an
advocate of great ability on the side he
chooses to espouse; but the motive
which leads him to choose his side is
felt to be open to question. However
much one may differ from John
Mitchell, he must admit the mans
downright honesty. Not so with Mr.
Brandeis: he does not compel the con.
viction that his real feeling is on the
side which he publicly advocates. Some
are saying that if he is placed in the
supreme court he will become conserva
tive. No more severe condemnation
could be pronounced The first requi
site for the supreme court is character
character that does not determine its
opinions by the position of the moment.
