Phillips,
As In the recent Hamburg
American neutrality violation cases
at New York, the defendants here are
said to be charged with use Of false
clearance papers in their alleged out
fitting of a German squadron by send
ing out supply ships from the Pacific
coast. Hints that Bopp would be In
dicted had been current for some
time. Washington dispatches recent
ly indicated, however. that the fed
eral government was Withholding ac-
ton until such time as the Lusitania
case was settled. Announcement Of
the indictment against him followed
directly upon word OF satisfactory
ending to the Lusitania negotiations.
This is the first indictment OF a
high foreign afiicial since the govern
ment started probing alleged nation
wide bomb plots. In most OF the
cases the federal officials will merely
serve notice OF the indictments as
soon as they are publicly recorded
and rely upon the prominence OF the
defendants to insure their remaining
in the city for hearing later.

Established Nursery
gives YOU"
Most, IL not all. large estab-
lished nurseries work on the
established principle ---- that
one thing at a time and that
done well'--is better than en-
deayoring to do several things
and excelling in none. Large
nurseries devote their entire
time, thought and energies In
producing GOOD TREES.
You can get all your trees
from the same source--trees
that are all grown under the
same conditions OF soil and
treatment, insuring you uni
form trees-a uniform orchard.
Established nurseries, by rea-
son OF their being established,
insure you getting trees from
them that are TRUE TO NAME.
Large, established nurseries
are not frequently changing
management, selling out, dis
continuing business, etc, like
the m-time-skin-'em-qyick-
and-get-away" fellow.
Permanent nurseries are in
terested In you making a sdc-
cess with their trees, and In ad-
dition to furnishing you GOOD
TREES are able and willing to
give you helpful advice and in
struction on the best varieties
to plant, how to overcome some
difficulty with your trees and
various other features OF i'm
portance to you.
The large, established nur-
sery publishes and distributes,
usually free, large catalogues
containing valuable informa-
tlon for your assistance; they
give you the benefit OF their
wide experience.
Except for the larger nur-
series, you would today not
have many Of the best varieties.
Take, for instance, the Lambert
cherry, the Ideal Apple and the
Vrooman Franquette Walnut,
all recognized as the best OF
their kinds, were first intro
duced and distributed by our
company.
Therefore, remember when
next buying trees, that for

about the cases In which German
Consul Bopp OF San Francisco. Vice
Consul Won Setback, Chancellor Kauff-

Ipartment's course in bringing them

the San Francisco cases as barring

The total value of this production
was $110,76S, 900. gain Of $12.607, 900

An, excellent example of the old
saying, What's everybody's business
Is nobody's business" occurred last
week in connection with the report
ing OF the minstrel show which was
put on for the Crystal Falls club.
Before | left town last Monday | ar
ranged with a perfectly reliable
young man, one who was interested
in the affair, to write "A report of IL.

position that | have put confidence in
for he failed utterly TO deliver the
Although the date is late one, we
cannot let the excellent work done by
the young men who took part in the
show go with only passing notice
DR. Bovik and his singers put on the
best attraction of its kind ever staged
i'm Crystal Falls and they should be
encouraged to give US some more Of
the same thing any time they feel
SO disposed.
The work done by Dr. Boyik is more
than a passing amusement; IL is edu-
cation, training for the young men
OF our city and II IL happy condi-
ton when We can boast OF one who Is
40 Interested In tho community that
he will give up so much of his time
TO training bunch Of young fellows

Prof Tomlinson was "a very impor-
tant factor in the success Of the affair
His mastery handling of the accom-
paniment made il possible for the
performers 10 acquit themselves as
they did without him the affair
would not have been the success that
IL was.
Then there was the tasty staging
the makeup and the suits that were
secured at SO much cost. The suits
and the services OF the makeup man
cost the management neat sum of
money but Il paid in the satisfaction
that il gave 20 the large audience.
The orchestra consisting OF Russell
Ball Lee wilson. Ben Schook and
Herb Larson with Prof, Tomlinson

feature OF the show. This is not
handing out airy disparagement TO
any other member for each and every
one did his part well; there were no
failures.
One noticeable feature Of the affair
was the clean. spicy Jokes. Jokes that
were roft OF any mean or double i'm
situations. There never has been an
entcrtainment where local Hts were
staged IN which the references met
as cordial resp. nse as did the jokes
