Makers OF "FertilziDg Scale
Treatment Fined 500

Claims that the insertion of a white
capsule and brown capsule, con-
tanning potassium cyanide and other
substances, in the bark of fruit trees
will kiln scale o the trees, led to a
fine of 500 in the Federal courts up
on the makers of the "Fertiliing Scale
reatment," who pleaded guilty to the
charge of misbranding and adultera
ton. This fine, reported in a recent
" published Notice of Judgment was
imposed in the case of the United
States versus Albert d. Kleckner,
Maybelle B. K1eckner and Emma
Kleckner (Fertilizing Scale Coz, AL
lentown, Pa, brought under the In
secticide Act of 1910, at the instance
OF the United States Department OF
Agriculture in the Eastern District
Court, Pennsylvania.
The Department tested these cap
sules for several years on fruit trees
to determine whether their use had
any deterrent effect on scale and
whether the material also actually
ferilized the trees as asserted by the
makers The Department found that
the capsules did not kill scale and
did not fertilize the trees, but on the
contrary, injured the tree, causing
causing large cankers through which
rot fungi may enter and finally de-
stroy the tree The Departments
tests were further supplemented and
confirmed by the scientists of the De-
Dartment who visited many orchards
in Marylands and Pennsylvania and
studied the trees which had been
treated by the agents of the company.
The "Ferthizing Scale Treatment
has been advertised and sold also as
a remedy for other insects and for
various tree diseases. Department
specialists fail to find any reason tc
believe that the potassium cyanide
and other substances inserted in trees
in capsules have any value. whatever,

Teachers ere most influential per-
sons. After mothers they are the
most important people in the world
The good teacher makes an impress
sion upon Tie child which viii re-
main with tie child through life, and
perhaps become part OF the text
ure Of that life after the child has de-
veloped into a man or woman, There
is no way 10 tell properly the infiu-
enee ora teacher
Sometimes when a lawyer or doc
tor or an engineer becomes well
known or wise looking he can COM
mand enormous amounts of money
for his fees. 1t makes no difference
how much or how little he merits
those great sums of money, he can
command them and they come to him.
He makes a loud splash in the COM
munity
But a teacher makes no splash at
all She takes her little flock of boys
and girls. and with the wisdom of the
age which makes it possible for
women TO do so much with children
Just because they are women she adj
justs their minds. She is handling an
instrument beside which the finest
micrometer is q gross toy. AS she
trains these minds she has enormous
power for good She is the one per-
son in all the world to whom we en-
trust our children without asking
question.
Whenever young man becomes
Jorden's pupil he becomes his son, :"
said Samuel Johnson, speaking of a
teacher he loved Or Johnson ga
thered his great learning in an age
when a child was whipped for not
knowing his lesson. If one of these
strong-armed British fioggers could
kindle a lifelong love in a pupil. how
much greater love and influence
should we now attribute to the
teacher who leads us into the paths Of
knowledge and development, rather
than kicks us into it?
In this day and age we take our
children to a school building and
leave our most precious possession
in the care of q young woman, and
all we know about her is that she has
been appointed by the board Of edu-
cation to teach in that school, And
our trust is not misplaced The OBJ
ject Of this is not to point out the
unstinted reliance we have in our
teachers. Rather is it to point out
that our reliance is broad and our
wage scale is narrow
So narrow that our government is
cheapened. To think that a first
grade teacher, starting at 5000, must
teach in that grade five years before
she viii get a salary of $500 a year,
when an unframed woman, with a
knowledge of Office practice, can get
Job for more! A kindergarten as
sistant, into whose hands we give the
very little children, never receives
more than $500 year-S50 a month
no matter how good a teacher she
is, until she has been transferred out
OF that create sphere OF influence.
After working for many years
teacher may have reached an eighth
grade, and even there she must re-
main FIVE years before she is in pos
session Of $1,000 a year, while Office
positions paying more than that are

'J0YS OF HONEYMOON DAYS
As Couple Grows Old. the Memory
Helps to Brighten the Journey
the Rest of the Way.

Homogeneous have been the fashion
90 long their origin seems enshrouded
In the mists of antiquity.
Just who ever started the first hon.
eymoon is not known. but its incep-
ton was without doubt happy one.
June being the accepted month for
weddings, naturally 1t is the time when
most honeymoons are taken.
1t is the grand climax of the we'd
dings. The bride has been looking for
ward to it for months. maybe for
years.
After the ceremony (under which
the poor little bride has almost brok-
en- down through the nervous strain
and the bridegroom has felt about as
lively and important as the only male
in the audience of a national suffra-
gette meeting); after the congratula-
tory expressions from friends and rel
atives; after the wedding supper; af-
ter the rice and old shoes have been
chromosomes the wedding trip.
On the train comes the pretense Of
fooling conductor, passengers and por-
ter; that they are really not newly
married couple must be assumed.
That stunt has been pulled by every
. body who ever got married and yet no.
body ever got away with it.
Anybody can spot bride and BRIDE
groom anywhere and any time.
They show 1t as plainly as If they
wore tag upon which in large letters
was printed the words. 1--WE Are New
ly Married-Have Heart"
Honeymoons are the happiest times
of the married state, Can't you look
back across the years and see yourself
when you had the heavy role in that
little drama of your life? Can't you
see again the sweet little star who
played opposite you, so timidly, so
trustingly, as she kept one eye on her
suitcase and the other on your pocket
book?
All, Time, you are heartless old
thief. You steal away our years of
dew-kissed happiness; you rub out the
rose bloom of youth and you rub in the
wrinkles, but you can't reach the hu-
man heart, You old crook-thank God
you can't touch that, or you would age
that too.
The heart may remain young for
ever, for we are only as old as we feel.
All you can do is whiten the hair and
rumple the skin, bend the back and
make slow the step, but when a couple
love each other, their hearts often turn
back to the honeymoon days and it
helps brighten the journey the rest of
the way.
Here's to the honeymoon-may it
never wane.-Florida Times Union.
