Planting Young Trees.

Plan to set out your orchard
some time between November 1st
and February Is, as trees will grow
better when planted during this sea-
son than when planted in the spring.
Communicate with your county dem
onstration agent and get his advice
as to reliable nursery, also about
the varieties that are best suited to
your section.
Plant the trees as soon as posi-
Bile after they arrive. If it Is impos-
sible to plant them as soon as they
arrive. open the bundle and heel
them out until they can be planted.
Dig the hole large enough so that all
the roots may be spread out in their
natural position. For apples and
peaches the holes should be about
1S inches deep and 2 feet in dame
ter. On stiff, hard soil dynamite may
be used to advantage. Thoroughly
mix the top soil taken from the hole
with half-pound commercial fertili-
ger (S-4-2).
Place the trees in a barrel Of wa
ter or wrap them in wet sack and
carry them to the field This will
prevent the roots from drying out
before transplanting. Cut off any
broken roots with sharp knife. and
prune back the roots until they are
only or 10 inches in length.
TO plant the tree, throw a little
top soil in the hole, then place the
tree little deeper than 1t grew in
the nursery and throw in more top
soil. Work the soil around the
roots we'll and pack firmly with the
foot as each shcvelfull Is thrown in,
leaving a slight impression around
the tree. After the tree has been
set, place about two inches of loose
SOIL over the packed surface.
Trees handled in this manner will
give good RESULTS.

mately $1,500,OOO,O00. This is the
thirteenth credit asked since the war
started, bringing the total to ap-
proXimately $l5,660, 100000.
With the Introduction of the lat
est vote Of credit debate covering a
wide range Is expected. 1t is be-
lieved this would include, in addi-
ton, finances for the government Of
Ireland, which the nationalists, who
have definitely taken sides against
the government, will bring up; sug-
gestion Of extension Of conscription
to Ireland, which unionists urged,
but which the government was I'M
derstood to oppose, and obtaining
more men from England, Scotland
and Wales, by a closer examination

tension of the age limit to rs is not
expected now.
To-day's vote of credit is not ex-

Costing Germans, Too.
Berlin, Oct. 10.-A bill for new
war credit Of 12,000,0O0,0GO marks
will shortly be submitted to the
Reichstag. The bill has only a pre-
cautionary character, but is deemed
necessary because the margin be-
tween the credit granted to June.
1916, totalling 52,0OO,OOO.O0o
marks, and the sum of 47,0OO,OOO,-
600 marks raised through the five
war loans has become rather small.
The new war loan is not expected to
be foated before spring next year, as
the government hopes to get along
until then with the funds on hand
and the help Of short term treasury
notes.

NEGRO CIsUSHES WIFE'S SKULL
With Blunt End Of Axe-Too Inti-
mate With Other Men.
(Anderson Mail, 12th.)


81 have killed my wife and have
come to give up to the officers" de-
clared Frank Park, negro living on
Luther Deans place, one mile from
Dean Station. He came to police
headquarters and was later turned
over to the county authorities.
Park said that he struck his wife,
Ella Park, over the head with an
axe; that he struck her after she had
advanced on him with case knife,
cutting his shirt into shreds. The
homicide occurred at Parks home.
Park says that he doesn't know what
time the killing occurred, but the
chickens were GROWING" He says
that he started for Anderson soon
after the killing; that he was COM
ing to give himself up. and that he
didn't arrive here until after daylight
had come.
The immediate cause of the trou-
bic seems to have been the compro
missing position in which Park found
his wife and a negro named Ike He'd
don last night at Deans Station.
Park said that he left his home and
went to Dean Station in search of his
wife, and that he came upon her and
the Heddon negro in the, woods.
Heddon jumped up and ran in one
direction and Parks wife began
running In the direction Of her home.
Il tried to overtake her. but she
outran me. She reached home first.
She had been drinking. under
stand that a negro named Hellum
gave her the liquor" said Park.
when I got back home she had a
case-knife in her hand, and she ad-
vanced on me. After she had cut nv
shirt l picked up my axe, which was
in the house, and struck her over the
head with the blunt end Of the axe.
| don't know whether l crushed the
skull or not. I think she died right
away. There were no eye-witnesses
to the killing. Our 1S-months-old
son was in the house, b,t he was
| asleep"
Park says that he has been mar
ried about seven years, and that he
! was living on Mr.. Deans place at the
time he was married. Ie says he
has suspected for some time that his
wife and Ike Haddon were intimate.
. Haddon also ives on Mr.. Deans
place and not far from Parks home.

Former Executive Calls On p. A. Ber
ry, Democratic Executive Chair
man, Who is III With Typhoid
-Serenaded BY Band

Bubbling over with an optimism for
polls in November, based on a thor
ough survey of conditions obtaining in
all parts of the state, former Governor
James M. Cox spoke with confidence
and surety at the Hotel Curtis Thurs
day morning.
His arrival in this city to address
a county fair crowd was entirely unex-
pected, as the governor quietly came
in on the midnight train Wednesday
instead of the 1928 B. & o. train
Thursday as had been planned.
He came with the wrong suitcase,
too, and was busy Thursday trying to
locate his own grip for which he had
received, in a Pullman car exchange,
that of travelling salesman.
On finishing his breakfast at the
hotel, the governor looked for his hat
and found the headgear missing also.
Convinced from former visits here

Governor Cox took his loss good-na-
turedly and later was successful in
recovering the hat, another exchange
having been made.
Cox chatted pleasantly of political
conditions over the state and solici-
tously inquired as to the state of af-
fairs in Knox county. With confidence,
he stated that Ohio would go into the
Wilson column in the national cleo
ton. 1T is due him" the governor
remarked.
Through the morning, Cox received
admirers in the lobby OF the Hotel
Curtis and later took occasion to pay
a call on Patrick A. Berry, chairman oi
the Democratic executive committee
who is confined to his home on East
Vine street with typhoid fever.
The Ladies' band of Barberton sere
naded the governor who stood on the
steps of Hotel Curtis and, at the con
clusion of the first number, descend
ed, shook hands with the leader ant
paid tribute to the musical abilit!

BURMA'S OLDEST TEMPLE.
This Towering Pile Looks. as Though
Il Were Built of Gold.

Burmas oldest and most famous
temple, Shwe Dagon Paya, is one OF
the sights of RangOon. The temple
stands on mound which was ap-
preached by four flights of steps, one
at each point of the compass, but the
southern side is the principal entrance,
and at the foot of these steps are two
great leogryphs covered with white
plaster. The western entrance has
been closed by the fortifications which
were built by the English during the
Burmese wars.
At the top of the stairs is a broad
platform, from the center of which
rises the paya. This is of brick COW
cred with gold, studded In places with
Jewels, and 1t is surmounted by gild-
ed "hd' or umbrella, from which hang
quantities of gold and silver bells
which tinkle continually in the breeze.
The pile is about $40 feet in height
and 1t gives the effect of being made
of solid gold. The shape is also very
graceful, and seen against a back
ground OF deep Llue sky is almost daz-
Eling in its beauty. At the base of the
structure and round the edge of the
platform are numerous shrlnes and
chapels, and in every direction there
are bells of all sizes, each with deers
antlers beside 1t, with which the wor-
shipper strikes II as he passes.

100000 Will BENEFIT BY
ASHBROOk'S PENSION ACT

to prove their age, and their increases
when granted, will date from the
passage of the bill, Sept. 8, 1916. Proof
of age usually can be obtained from
family Bible or public record. If it
should happen that no proof is avail
able in the family or neighborhood the
applicant should furnish the name of
father or mother and place where the
family was residing in the year 1850.
This information will enable a search
to be made of the records of the cen
sus bureau at Washington and the
census of 1850, which sets forth the
names of heads of families and their
children living in that year, nearly al
ways can be depended upon to supply
the needed information. All widows
who are not on the pension rolls must
make an original application on a
blank which will be supplied by the
pension bureau for that purpose.
Another thing which it is import
ant the widows should know is that
they are not obliged to pay out con-
siderable sums for attorneys fees.
The law expressly forbids pension
agent or attorney from charging fee
of any widow whose name is now on
the rolls, but in the case of AN original
claim fee of SO may be charged.
Widows in making original claims
should bear in mind that they should
not, in any case, pay greater fee
than $40"

Rev, Ford returned Wednesday
evening from GAINESVILLE where the
conference has been In session for a
week. AT one Of the sessions, the
honor of entertaining the body next
year was rendered the Mt. Vernon
charge because of the fact that the
organization had its birth in this city
rs years ago.
A canvass was made OF the various
Sunday school classes of the local
church last Sunday, Rev Ford stated
and an overwhelming sentiment in
favor of Mt Vernon's entertaining the
conference was found to exist. The
canvass was entirely unofficial.
Since his return home, Rev, Ford
has found that members OF the church
are quite enthusiastic over holding
the conference here, The official
board of the church, the next meeting
of which will be held In November
will make the final decision and ex
tend the invitation to the conference

OLDEST LIGHTHOUSE
IN AMERICA

Light, the first lighthouse built in
America, today rounded out a career
of 200 years of continuous service. It
is one of the most important light
house stations on the north Atlantic
coast, and is known to every sailor
man and seagoer on this side of the
globe. The lighthouse was built in
1716 and the light first 'kindled" on
Sept. IA OF that year. The lighthouse
has been several times burned and
rebuilt and during the revolution it
was destroyed by the British when
they evacuated Boston.
