Waits on Report.

Rough estimates have been made
that ii would be necessary 10 raise
the price of coal at the mines from
30 To 80 cents ton. Until the report
is made, however, Mr.. Garfield will
have no way of determining the exact
amount.
That he is determined to prevent
strikes If possible was indicated in nc
ton taken In connection with the stu
alton in southwestern states. As soon
as he heard that $4,000 men In the
Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Ar
kansas mine fields were planning 10
walk out he sent kilograms to heads of
local unions declaring that strikes
must not take place and warned them
he would use every power committed
TO him" to prevent them. He urged
them to send committee Ia Washing
ton.
This appeal, along with one sent ont
by John L. White, president of the
National Miners union, ordering the
men to stay at work had its effect
md the strike was called off.

ply
Unless peace should intervene and
the food administration come to an end,

price was to be altered.
In event Of peace Il was pointed out
the large quantities Of wheat now In.

FALL CARE OF TREES

Do Tree Pruning In October Advises

October is the month to prune the trees
advises the American Forestry associa-
ton. 2l0 Maryland building. in a recent
bulletin. In this report, the associa-
ton, which publishes the American For
estry Magazine. offers the following time
~ suggestions for the caring Of trees this
month:
"Prune all dead branches. The advan-
tage Of doing this work now before the
leaves fall Is because one can distinguish
the dead from the live better at this time
than In winter: because one can climb
better now than In the winter when the
trees are covered with ice and snow; be-
cause the branches are not so brittle
and also because the trees will now suf-
FER much less from bleeding. etc.
Take care Of all wounds. Use coal tar
and creosote to cover all exposed wood.
and be sure to remove all decayed and
diseased wood in the treatment Of the
wounds. Be sure to destroy nests Of the
fall web-worm.
"Fertilize with well-rotted manure all
weak trees and evergreens. Spray for
scale insects, but before doing this de-
termins the character Of the insect and
receive specific instructions as to the
strength Of the solution and what ma
terials to use. as we'll as the best time
for doing the work.
Thin apple trees and other fruit trees
II necessary. Pick of gals on small or
namental evergreens. Plant deciduous
trees, and shrubs. Poplars. magnolia
trees, willows and oaks had better be
planted in early spring, but other trees.
such as naples. lindens. etc. can be
planted In October"

people In standing behind their govern

the German government was backing up

Before the war is over. America Will
prove to the world that she Is not afraid"
Many have claimed Tat democracy Is

but IL America goes down. democracy
goes with her. The speaker drew an
analogy between this age and that OF the
beginning of the Christian era, when
barbarians were overrunning Europe. but
were unable to do any final harm because
good came out Of evil and there was the
dawn of a new era greater than any
before. MAY we not hope that America
will at last awaken to her duty and go
over there to roll away the stone for the
beginning of a new era for the uplift OF
the nations of the earth and the per-
petuation of that One Enduring Life which
through all succeeding ages has been the
