WASHINGTON. Dec S--A summary
OF the report NJ the special board APP
pointed TO consider she question Of a
site .Or the governments projected SILL
100000 armor plate plant. was made
public late today by Secretary Daniels
II recommends that the coastal and
border areas be eliminated from con-
sideratiOu for military reasons and
names the following cities as offering
localities which the board considers
comparatively safe in time OF war:
Birmingham. Tuscaloosa and G1dsden,
Ala. ChattanOoga. Knoxville. Elizabeth
town: Bristol and Kingsport. Tenn-;
Rome. Ga: LomaN. Cairo and Metropolis,
Ill: Evansville and ROCkpOrt, Ind; kec-
kuk. Ia: Charleston and Huntington. W.
Va: Louisville and Middlesboro. Ky;
Tulsa and NIuskOgee. Okla. and GiImeF'
Texas
Secretary Daniels will appoint anoth-
sr board Monday TO visit these cities
and 70 study matters OF freight rates
transportation facilities and other eco
nomic features. He will await re-
mort before finally selecting the site.
The cities eliminated from cOnsidera-
ton included a large number which had
asked for the plant in New England,
New York. Pennsylvania. New Jersey,
Delaware. Maryland, District Of Column
ola, all of those applying IN virginia
North Carolina. south Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama Mississippi. Louisiana and
Teras which are within geo miles or
the coast. and all of those in Michigan,
wisconsin. Illinois. Indiana and Ohio
which are within zoe miles of the Ca
madam border.
Special attention was given by the
board TO the stipulation by congress
that the plant be placed with special
reference to consideration OF safety in
time OF war
Another directing factor was the al
vice of the Army War college that no
military plant OF any considerable size
should be established east of the Appal-
lachian mountains, west of the Cascade
OF Sierra Nevada mountains, nor with
n zoo miles of the border
Points which the navy general board
will consider before finally recommend
ing selection OF a site and the geologi-
cal character of the locality, the facili-
ties for securing raw materials. labor
conditions, and facilities for delivering
completed materials Numerous other
Industrial and economic questions viii

President Wilson in his speech
of acceptance said the party had
not only kept their own promises
but nearly carried out the policies
of the progressive platform.
In this bid for progressive
votes, it is amusing to analyze the
truth of this statement. Four
years ago in campaign discussion
our Democrat friends said there
was no such thing as a Progress
sive platform; it was only the
personal opinion of one man. Now
if President Wilson has carried
out the policies of this one mans
opinion as expressed in the Pro
gressive platform,-oh, read any
comment that T. R. makes on the
present administration.
Grover Cleveland or Theodore
Roosevelt would have settled the
strike in an hour-after the Rail
road Men showed their guns.
We favor the workingman. We
consider oul selves of their class.
We believe in hours that make for
better service, better men. We be-
lieve this in practice as we'll as in
theory because in our own bust
ness the 48-hour week was adopt
ed not by threat, demand or re-
quest but as a policy. Not only is
this humanitarian, but good bust
ness. In our work, a man can do
more work, better work with less
spoilage in hours than he can in
10 hours. SO when we say we be-
lieve in the 8-hour day, we have
the deed to back up our word.
But, in any dispute between
the man who works and the man
who faces the pay roll, we stand,
at last for arbitration. For labor
to refuse thus to submit places
them in dangerous aspect. We
have heard much, and with truth,
of Capital controlling legislation.
With this, we have scant pa
tience. Nor have we any more
with Labor doing the same thing.
When either capital or Labor as a
combination control legislation,
refusing an investigation-then
the spirit of America dims.
Combination of Labor for pro-
lection? Yes. Expression of their
Rights? Always. But to stand
with Stop Watch and dare?
Never!

snapped off in the winds. The
constant swaying of the stem also
interferes with the establishment
of fine hair-like feeding roots in
the soil.
After-Care
In order to keep the trees grow
ing, constant care is necessary.
Cultivation by keeping the ground
broken up to retain the moisture
is as important for the tree as the
cultivation of field crops. Evapor-
alton is taking place over ever
square inch of soil exposed
around the tree. If the OPENING
contains six square feet, or 8G4
square inches, the tree occupies
but ten square inches, or one
eighty-sixth of the total area.
When the ground becomes hard
and caked, the tree receives jusc
one-eighty-sixth of the moisture
given off each day, but, if the
ground is covered with dust
mulch practically all the moisture
goes through the tree, and is
used by the leaves in manufactur,
ing starch and wood.
A few handfuls of ground bone
spaded into the ground in the
spring will help materially in
pushing the tree ahead. Water
only during very dry spells-too
frequent watering will rot the
roots.
If these directions are followed
YOU can hardly lose the tree in
transplanting, and in few years
will have tree worthy of your
efforts, instead of one that mere
ly exists.

tablish the line of communication
between the top soil and the water
table by which the tree will be am
ply supplied with all the water II
needs without depending on what
comes to it from the surface. This
is very important, as good sized
tree ten years old, in full leaf, VIII
draw through it's stem and give
off into the air, through its leaves,
thirty or more barrels of water
daily. If it had to depend on
what came to it in the form OF
rain, it wouldn't last a week.
By tamping the bore hole with
bone meal, an additional benefit
is received, it having a good plant
food evenly distributed through
the soil to be gradually available
to the growing rootlets.
How to Set
The tree should be set about the
same depth as it stood in the nur'
sery, the roots spread naturally
Sift fine soil around the roots anc
work it in close to them with {
pointed stick, so that no spaces
remain untitled to within -four
inches of the top. This is ther
firmly tamped with a stomper ant
saturated with water. When /
has absorbed all the water it cal
hold, cover with loose soil to &C
as blanket in retaining tn,
moisture.
A fifteen foot stake should b.
used in order to support the top
as well as the stem, and keep j
from being bent out of shape b.
strong winds. Trees with heav,
foliage often have their top

then assigns the policy to the
friend who has lent him the mon
ey. Another plan adopted is to
have the creditor take out pol
icy on the life of the debtor.
Either plan works out perfectly,
and the young man is assured an
education without the usual form
of collateral in connection with
the loan.
The advisability of some such
financial program is made evident
in the report of the Wicks COM
mittee to the effect that college
graduates make three times as
much money as the farmer who
has neither high school nor col
lege training.

office of the cattle superintendent
on the state fair grounds, to re-
ceive the report of the committee
appointed to constitute bylaws.
"Holstein cattle exhibited at the

Strike-Outs

We favor a single presiden-
tial term, and to that end
urge the adoption of an
amendment to the COnstitu-
ton making the President of
the United States ineligible
for reelection and we pledge
the candidate of this conven-
ton to this principle.
Democratic Platform 1912
The people of the United
States do not need to be as
sured now that the platform
is definite pledge, a prac-
teal program. We have prov
ed to them that our promises
are made to be kept.

More and better HOlsteins in
Delaware" is a slogan adopted by
the recently formed Delaware Hol-
stein-Friesian Breeders Associa-
ton and its number of members is
constantly increasing.
More and better Holsteins are
coming into Delaware. Among re-
cent arrivals is very handsome
young bull calf at Mr.. H. F. du
ont's Winterthur Farms. He is
sired by the famous fifty thousand
dollar bull, King Segis Pontiac
Alcartra and his dam, SO pound
daughter of the twenty-five thou
sand dollar sire, Johanna DeKol
Van Beers. The dam sold at pub
lie sale for seven thousand dollars.
His grandsire on both his sire's
and dams side were sons of the
famous King Segis, one of the
great bulls of the breed.
This young sire has a great flu

THE CARE OF
SHADE TREES
An Asset Often Ruined By
Ignorance

What is more comforting on a
red-hot day that a row of nice
shade trees? To the person who
has to be on the street all the time
they are indeed a blessing. In
some cities shade trees are ne
elected. That is, not enough of
them are planted and some that
are planted don't receive proper
attention.
1t requires judgment and good
management to have successful
shade trees. The soil and mate
rails of which streets are formed
are usually ill-ftted to sustain the
healthy growth of a tree. 1t is
necessary, therefore, that selec-
ton of trees for streets should be
limited to varieties that thrive
under adverse conditions. Taking
all the points into consideration.
the selection is limited to Norway
Sugar Naples, Oriental Plane,
Lindens, American Elm, Red and
Pin Oak, Horse Chestnut, Tulip
and Gingko. These include all
the shade tree quality desired and
readily adapt themselves to their
environments.
Care should be taken to have a
straight trunk with the head be-
ginning not lower than seven feet,
with strong leaders, for on these
depend the future shape of the
tree. Although the tree is to be
more or less formal in shape, its
natural habit of growth should be
preserved, at the same time keep
ing it symmetrical and full-head.
ed.
The top should be cut back tc
about one-third. For the best re
suits, the active leaf surface ant
the active rootlets must be in di
rect proportion. The interde
pendence of the roots and leave
is complete. If the leaves are de
stroyed by insect attack, a CORES
bonding amount of roots die, be
cause they are not fed; if root
are reduced in transplanting, tn
foliage of the whole top will suf
fer in proportion, and probabl.
not survive the shock.
In the nursery the tree shout,
be trained to withstand the hard
ships of its final home. Annua
transplanting cuts the long an
chor roots and develops latera
rootlets mech the same as latera
branches are developed when tn
leader is headed back. In thi
way a bunchy, fbrous root sys
TEN is obtained, that will sustai
the demand of the top when it i
finally planted out.
Newark post. (Newark, Del.) 1910-1969, 1916-09-06
Preparation of Soil

Now as to the soil in which the
tree is to make it's home. At least
fifty-siX cubic feet of ground
should be excavated from the
hole, and good top soil, enriched
with well-rotted manure or bone
meal, replaced for the clay hard
pan, brickbats, cement, broken
bottles and other refuse usually
encountered.
There is one condition of soil
which is most favorable to all
trees, and that is deep, moderate
ly loose, sandy, loan which per-
mits satisfactory aeration and
furnishes an even water supply.
Beside food, a tree, like an ami
NAL, needs air for respiration. Not
only the leaves, but the surface of
the twigs, branches and roots are
covered with breathing pores
which conduct air into the inter-
! Tor.
That roots breathe is often for
gotten. When a tree is planted
too deeply, or the ground around
it raised in course of . improve
ments, many tree is lost by these
acts of ignorance. The more COM
pact the soil, the deeper the
cover, the surer the result-death
from suffocation. The same is
true of trees having wet feet, i. e.
overlooked with water-the re-
duction of air kills them.
SubsOiling Necessary
1t is absolutely necessary Go
subsoil the bottom of the hole
prepared for the tree, in order
that it may live under these arti-
fetal conditions, Dynamite ex-
ploded in the bottom of the hole at
the depth of three feet will pro-
duce the needed natural condition
of rendering the soil porous and
easily aerated. 1t will also re-es-
