SAVE THE MAPLE TREES
BY e. .. Ball, State EntomoIieist,
Madison, Wis.

Throughout the central and southern
portions of Wisconsin the maple trees, espe-
cially along city streets, have been dying at an
alarming rate for the past three or four years.
If they are allowed to continue for few more
years many cities in the state will have lost
practically all their trees.
The trouble is due entirely to the at
tack of the Cottony Maple Scale which sucks
the sap from the leaves and tender twigs. In
the summer time its presence can be detected
by the yellow condition of the leaves and the
blackened, sooty condition of the bark. with
large, white patches of this pest clinging to the
under side Of the small branches.
The Cottony Maple Scale is not a
difficult insect to handle. the only trouble being
that it requires special apparatus, which is or
dinarily not available and which a single indi-
vidual cannot afford to purchase Each COM
munity should therefore arrange for the pur-
chase Of one outfit which could be used by the
city and private individuals. If the city has
any large number of trees to be sprayed it
would be cheaper for the corporation to buy the
outfit outright than to pay the extra charge for
the use of it. Such an outfit will cost from $3.50
to $780, depending on the size and the equip

Baker-JoneS.

Dodgeville Sun Republic: Miss Gen
evieve Baker, youngest daughter of Mrs
e. Dale Baker, formerly of Edmund,
and living in Appleton during the past
two years, and Mr. Thomas Lloyd
Jones, youngest son of Mrs Laura E.
Jones of Spring Green, were united in

and Mrs Jones Of the class of 1915.
Since graduating from the Stout Train

ment 1t will, however, last for a long time if
cared for and will amount in the end to only q
few cents per tree.
The total cost of spraying per tree
will amount to very small sum- averaging
hardly more than dollar per tree for one APP
plication and if we'll applied it is probable that
the one application will protect the tree for
several years and that not more than two or
three will be required to get this pest under
control. There are very few individuals who
would allow their trees to be destroyed for the
small sum of a dollar or two apiece, and yet
unless some community action is taken that
will be the inevitable result of delay in the
matter.
Conditions have been rapidly grow
ing worse in large number of the towns, and
the trees have been so weakened that they are
now dying rapidly and if anything is to be done
it must be done quickly. Here is chance for
the Women's Clubs, Civic Organizations, and
those interested in the permanent beauty and
welfare of our cities to do some effective work.
If, however, this pest is to be handled this sea-
son, this work must be done at once as the time
to fight this insect is before the leaves appear in
the spring.

IMPORTANT IN MANY WAYS
Farm Kitchen an Institution to Which
Too Much Thought and Care
Cannot Be Devoted.

The kitchen is the most important
institution on the farm. Some folks
will disagree with that statement just
after meal time Or in winter when they
are fat and lazy. But make the same
suggestion about eleven o'clock or in
mid-afternOOn of a summer harvest
day and the resolution will carry with
out a dissenting voice. Now doesn't it
seem that the most important farm in
stitution should be efficient? Miss
Carrie L. Pancoast, in Extension Cir
cular - Of the University Of Missouri,
Agricultural Extension Service, says:
"The farm kitchen is the farm wOm-.
ans most important workshop and in
many ways the chief room Of the
house. It's equipment and arrange
ment may easily make the difference
between a tired, over-WOrked, worn
out housewife, and one who has some
time and energy left for recreation at
ter the days work is DONE" This cir
cular has just come from the press and
contains a general discussion Of the
efficiency Of the kitchen. 1t also con-
tains plans and suggestions for ar
rangement and equipment Of the kitch-
en-. It is illustrated with pictures and
drawings Of some Missouri farm kitch-
ems which have proved successful.
Copies of this circular may be had on
application to the College Of Agricul-
ture, Columbia, Missouri.
Too frequently the kitchen is ar
ranged without regard to the rest OF
the house or proper location. Too fire
Quently, also, the farm woman must
perform her work in the kitchen with
tools and implements which were used
by her grandmother while her husband
provides the latest farm machinery for
performing his work. He could not be
induced to use the cradle or the fail
in wheat production, or to prepare his
land with the wooden mOld-board pillow
and the brush harrow. Why then,
should the farm woman have to con-
tend with an antiquated kitchen or
with antiquated equipment.
Farmers who are planning to build
or remodel their kitchens would do
well to apply for this circular.

Laugh Is on the People.

The Tokyo station is architectural
~ a joke and practically a failure,
but it is most imposing pile never
theless. It must be a quarter of a
mile in length. Incoming passengers
enter at one end and outgoing travel
ers leave at the other, but if they want
to go from one end of the station to
the other they have to go out and
around, for the center is reserved for

White Coat.

A white coat may be cleaned by
brushing the following mixture well
into the cloth the way Of the nap:
Mix some powdered pipe clay and
whiting, some fulIers' earth, and lit
tie stone-blue dissolved in vinegar, In
sufficient quantities to form the whole
into a paste; rub into the coat and
leave it to dry on. When the coat is
quite dry, rub 1t well, beat it to get
the dust out, and then brush.

Think of These THINGS.

When thou wishest to delight thy
self, think of the virtues of those who
I've with thee; for instance, the ac-
tivity of one, and the modesty of an
other, and the liberality of a third,
and some other good quality Of .
fourth. For nothing delights so mucb
as the examples Of the virtues, when
they are exhibited In the morals OF
those who live with us and present
themselves in abundance, as far as Is
possible. Wherefore we must keep
them before us.-Marcus Aurelius.

WORDS OF WISE MEN

All our wants, beyond those
which a very moderate income
can supply, are purely imagi-
nary.
Let us take care that in
straining after what is desira-
BILE we do not lose what is vital
and essential; that in grasping
what we should like to have we
do not slip down into the bog.
Few things show the true ma
ture of man more than his
humor. The finest humOr al
ways comes from the finest
spirit.
We all need TO be more care
full to show and express our ap-
probation in our daily lives for
the many kindnesses which are
shown us, and thereby radiate
a circle of domestic happiness.

Philosophy of Fashion
BY lucille Game.

One woman was saying TO an
other within my hearing the other
day: DO you know. I believe we
would clothe ourselves in hen
feathers pasted upon pink cambria
if it were the fashion"
Il agree with you" said the other.
turning 10 look after a freakish
member of the sex who had passed.
But l do wish the fashions would
be more sensible"
This incident stirred within me a
longing 10 get at the philosophy of
tyranical fashion. Oddly enough.
the next day 1 ran across proof that
so learned a man as a Fellow and
Lecturer Of Kings College, Cam
bridge" had regarded the subject
Of sufficient importance TO engage
his attention.
From the deductions of this
scholar we gain the information
that "auto-suggestion" plays its
part i'm explaining how we are made
the abject slaves of ever changing
modes.
Addressing the Royal Society of
Arts on Fashion in Art and Art
Industry" Sir Charles Waldstein
said:
Fashion is one OF the most i'm
portant and elusive elements with
which the efficient designer of art
industries has to deal Let us see
whether we can discover any ra-
tional, any general principles of So
called laws which determine and
govern the origin and activity of
this force in life. which, by its very
nature, eludes and defies all reason
and established law, is born and
lives by it's antagonism to the pre-
viously esta blished rule, and puts
the past, down to the very moment
of its own birth, into direct Opposi-
ton to the present, which it aims at
fashioning 10 its own caprice.
while thus, by its very nature,
it denies the claims of precedent
laws, it is most tyranical in estab-
fishing it's own laws and the ex-
elusive dominance over the taste
and customs Of the social life out of
which it grows and which il strives
| to enslave.
Fashion is the ephemeral dom
/ nation of taste. In this definition
the term 'ephemeraI is most inn
portant as it distinguishes fashion
from custom. tradition and similar
groups of ideas; it forms what logi-
clans call the conmotation, and not
only the defamation. of an essen
tial meaning.
in the special subjects with
which we are dealing it thus differs
from tradition in that it does not
