for support one week from tomorrow.
For the day. at least. the specter is
regarded as no idle menace. no CANDLE

proof Of this Is that careful observers
In New York seriously speak of the
possibility of the socialist candidate
running second on the ticket. Al
1owance must be made for certain de-
gree of assumed alarm over the out
look, for strictly campaign purposes
and to arouse the voters, but below
that surface assumption is said to lie
solid apprehension deduced from pop

socialist ticket.

Morris Hillquit, tho socialist candi-
date. a man of means, of education,
political experience and determination
10 push his candidacy for mayor to the
utmost. has become the central and
most ominous figure of the municipal
campaign. He is addressing himself
to the unthinking element in the
city along lines designed to appeal to
their emotions and passions. He de-
,nands peace without price, peace by
the United States taking no further
part in the war. .-...
He insists upon no money. supplies
or troops for the war to which the
country is pledged. He charges to the
war the greatest responsibility for
high cost of living and dismisses all
higher questions to consideration Of
the family market basket. He arrays
The poor man against the man better
off in the world and charges both the
old parties with being the poor mans
enemy. His appeal is directed to the
dense masses Of population. including
the large foreign-born element, men
whose understanding may be narrow,
but whose ballot is as effective as that
of the dweller in Park avenue or Gen.
trail Park west.

Statement Of Reputation.

II was IN part as follows:
Hillquit has delivered the socialist
party of tho United States to the peo-
pies council, organised in the interest
Of . peace that would benent Germany
and 5eopardize democracy throughout
the world. The work Of the peoples
council would be no different IL fnanc-
ed and managed directly by agents Of
the German government.
In view of Hi1lquits attitude toward
national and international issues in
volved in the world cofiict, as above
outlined. we feel that he is not entitled
to speak in the name Of American So
cialism or to enjoy the confidence Of
international socialists.
We accuse HillQuit Of giving need
less aid and comfort to the enemies Of
democracy the world over. He must
know that q peace today would save
German mi1itarism and achieve the de-
etruction OF the Russian revolution. He
knows that German militarism saved
would mean the establishment OF mill
farism in all the great nations. In
cluding tho United States. and would
sound the death knell Of liberty and
democracy everywhere.
Hillquit has betrayed the people Of
the country Of his birth. The people
Of Russia do not wish to exchange
the c1ar for the kaiser. They are not
In favor Of . German peace Yet Hill
quit takes the position Of the anarchist
socialist Lenine and opposes the Eenu.

done. Any time this month
when the weather is warm this
work of planting may be done.
1t is best not to defer this work
till spring as the work of plant
ing may interfere with pruning.
All dead or decaying branches
should be removed from old
fruit trees. If this is not done
the delay may extend into the
main trunk of the tree and de-
stroy it. 1t is not safe to leave
dead branches on the growing
trees very long.
1t very often happens that
winter winds may tear off
branches and leave them broken
to decay and form a. harbor for
bark beetles. Notice for these
branches and remove them be-
fore they endanger the life of
the tree. All branches, especi-
ally the dead and decayed prun-
ings, should be gathered up and
burned as they are likely to
cause disease or insects if left.
The trees should be left in
balance. Branches that hold the
trees out of balance had best be
removed. Large branches must
sometimes be taken off to save
the tree. If this is necessary
the "cut place" had best be
covered with white lead paint or
whitewash to protect the wound
from fungi.
The heads of trees should be
open. Branches Of such as the
apple and the peach trees that
interfere wish sunlight for the
fruit may be removed. This
will also give you a better chance
to do effective work in spraying.
Take off struggling branches and
give you better chance to do
effective work in spraying. Take
off struggling branches and
give the fruit-bearing part of
the tree best chance possible. =

Gull Out Old Hens and Increase Eao
Production Of Flock.

Experiments carried on at the Col
lege OF Agriculture, University of Ar.
kansas, under the direction of Dean
Martin Nelson show that farmers too
often keep their old hens too long.
and as a result of this practice. the
production OF eggs decreases almost
In proportion to the number of old
birds retained. However, enough
yearling or old hens should be kept
to produce eggs for Matching. Chicks
Matched from yearling or old hens are
stronger and more vigorous than those
Matched from pullet eggs. Quite often
the pullet eggs are infertile. The
small eggs produce small chicks. the
size OF the chick being almost in
proportion to the size Of the egg
Matched. One should save about one.

Why shiverino Warns Us.

Some might doubt that shivering on
cold day would make anyone warm,
but 1t Is true that the spasmodic quiv-
ering Of the muscles, called shiverlng,
causes a flow Of blood and thereby gen.
crates warmth. No one ever shivers
until his body is extremely cold. 1t
Is nervous protest on the part of the
flesh, due to acute discomfort that has
reached the brain and been reacted.
But the moment shivering begins the
muscles work involuntarily and the
body begins to produce heat.
