WINTER WORK IN ORCHARDS
Cut Away Dead Limbs and Use for
Fuel--Remove Dying Trees and
Destroy Insects.

Any time during the winter when we
have time we can cut away all the dead
limbs in the orchard and cut them up
into fuel for the cook stove. The
chances are we will be getting rid of a
number of bugs and worms that are
lying dormant, waiting for spring to
begin destroying tree or fruit.
Dead or dying trees can he removed
and the ground made into fine condi-
ton to receive young tree.
Dynamite out the old tree and leave
the hole exposed during the winter and
the insects around there will be de-
stroyed.

More silos mean more stock-and

In caring for milk, cleanliness and

Low temperature and cleanliness
are two factors that largely control

TO SECURE PURE SEED GRAIN
Bulletin Issued by Expert Of North
Dakota Experiment Station on
the Important Subject.

How to secure seed grain that Is
free from mixtures and diseases Is
the subject matter of circular No. IL
just issued by the North Dakota ex-
pertinent station.
Professor Bolley advises securing as
pure seed as possible, cleaning and
treating it and sowing it so as to leave
every seventh row for a path to walk
through to pick out weeds and the
plants that are diseased or that are
not true to type. In this way pure
disease free seed can be secured for
next years sowing.

feverish, irritable, have spots appearing
before the eyes, bags under the lids, and
lack ambition to do things.
The latest and most effective means
OF overcoming this trouble, is to eat spar

INVESTIGATE LEAK

Washington Officials at Loss
to Know How Germans
Found Out About
Trip.

Washington, May 26.--Offieial in
vestigation was under way today to
uncover whether the leak on the
sailing OF American destroyers to the
war zone was on this side Of the AT.
lantic or whether German spies got
it in England.
Admiral Sims has positively re.
ported that the German admiralty
knew of the departure of the ships and
their port # arrival four days ahead
of time and had opportunity TO mine
their path.
Some navy officials are inclined TO
suspect the German spy system in
England, despite the statement OF
Secretary Daniels, that the incident
emphasized the fact that the German
spy system still is at work in this
country. If the info nation was sent
from the United States it was made
doubly difficult because it had to pass
the official censorship.
1t was stated officially today that
only a few officers in the Office OF
Admiral Benson, chief of operations,
knew the destination OF The destroy
ers. The commanders themselves
were ignorant of the port. until they
opened sealed orders probably twelve
hours at sea.

cardinal points to be remembered,
particularly by men between the ages
OF q and so, inclusive. who will be
required to register. The memoran-
dun follows:
|. There is only one day for regis
tration-June S, 1917.

tional Guard reserve, recognized by
the militia bureau of the War depart
ment; the navy, the marine corps, the
coast guard and the naval militia. the
naval reserve fotce; the marine corps

Registration is Not Draft.
3. Registration is distinct from

this duty, the penalty of imprison-
ment, not fine, is provided in the
draft act.

the CHEAPER way
IN THE LONG RUN
Dre.her Brothers Do All Of the Clean.
ing Work You Should Not Do,
For You Cannot Do II
So Economically A.
Dreshers.

The prevailing idea Of conservation
and sensible economy is all right, but
there are many jobs that can be done
more economically elsewhere than at
your home. =.
Take, for instance. in cleaning
work; you cannot begin to do it as
cheaply in your home as can Dresher
Brothers in their immense plant at
2211-2217 Farnam street. And it's no
secret that you cannot do the work
as we'll as Dreshers; you'll admit that,
won't you?
No, Sir! No, Madame! You cannot
touch a job of the sort yourself and
be ahead. Far better stick to your
own vocation and let Dreshers clean,
press, dye, remodel or re-style your
suits, coats, dresses, etc. Far rather
have Dreshers take your old felt or
straw hats and clean, block and re-
trim them.
And when it comes to rug, CARPET,
curtain, comfort, blanket or pillow
cleaning, you are simply not in the
race. It will cost you more to "call in
a man" to do this work than to have
Dreshers' experts and Dreshers'
equipment do 1t for you. II as far as
the calibre of work done, here is proof
that you cannot do it so well as Dresh-
ers--your old style "beating" doesn't
begin to clean a rug. Just have your
dirtiest rug hand beatenj work at 1t
ten hours II you like; keep pounding
and pounding; then when you con.
slider it clean let Dreshers clean it
over. When Dreshers get through you
will see pile Of dirt, grease, soil,
ETC., that came out of the rug, to say
nothing of germs that one cannot see.
Start practicing economy the true
way-send your work to Dreshers'
immense plant at 2211-2217 Farnam
street. Phone Tyler 345 for a man,
or leave work at the plant, at Dresher
the Tailors, 1916 .Farnam st., or at
one of the Dresher branches in the
Burgess-Nash or Brandeis Stores.
Dreshers pay express or parcel post
charges one way on any sized bundle
to any point in America.--Adv.
