kept covered with spray all the
time. Watch your apples very
closely and if you see any worms
showing, spray thoroughly with s
pounds of arsenate of lead paste or
a pounds Of powder to 200 gallons
of water. If you are the least bit
in doubt as to whether your apples
are we'll covered with spray, you
had better spray. Clean apples are
worth money-wormy apples ere
culls. LUKE POWELL,

america STAR OF
PEACE -BERNST0RFF

Washington, Dec. 26.-German Am
bassador Bernstorff has given out the
following as a "Christmas interview"
on the Wilson peace movement:
"The eyes of the world are turned
in hope on America this third wal
Christmas. She stands alone, among
the great powers, outside the circle OF
combatants. She unites in the labors
of peace within her borders all the
races which are fighting one another
ACROSS the water.
"As once the star of Bethlehem
guided the kings from the East
through the night watches to the full
fllment of their hopes, so from the
words of President Wilson shines the
light of a new message Of peace on
earth into the gloom Of purposeless
slaughter in Europe.
Germany stands ready to follow
this light. Secure in her strength,
but not ~domineering; conscious that
she drew the sword not from lust Of
conquest, but only in defense of her
national existence, she demands not
foreign territory, but only assurance
against future aggression or against
alliances which threaten the worlds
peace"
