GERMANY NOT ALL ROTTEN,
 SAYS PRESIDENT OF SMITH

NORTHAMPTON, Mass, Dec. 20.-- "Victory is to be gained, not by de- nying all virtue to Germany and so understanding her power, but by surpassing her in her characteristic points of strength, and keeping our selves free from the faults that have lost her the friendship of the entire world,' said President William All len Nelson of Smith College, speak ing to the student body.
 "The effectiveness of the German army and the behavior of the Ger man people" he said lis sufficient proof there can be no such complete rottenness at the heart of a nation as some of us believe. Nothing is to be gained by shutting our eyes to the formidable vigor of the ene- my we have set out to defeat. Only candid facing of facts, and an un- shaken determination to win on the facts, can save the world from the unspeakable calamity of a German victory"

GENTLE DISPOSITIONS ON DOUGLAS ISLAND
 ARE BEING SOURED

DOUGLAS, Dec. 20-As though the ferry service-lack of service, rather-of the past few weeks is not sufficient to warp many formerly mild and gentle dispositions on Doug las Island, the mail service must needs add insult to injury. In other words One woe upon the heels of another doth tread"
 Sometime during the silent watch es of Tuesday night the steamer Ad- miral Evans arrived at Juneau with something like five days mail In keeping with all precedent, the mail for Douglas and Treadwell should have come over from Juneau on the ferry leaving there at o'clock in the morning. Did it come? It did not
 But the people supposed, of course, 10 o'clock the people of the two towns turned out enmasse and marched to their respective postof- fices, only to be informed that the mail had not arrived. The people returned disappointed to their homes Surely the mail would arrive on the ferry that brings mail from Juneau leaving there at 3:15 in the after noon. Did it come?
 It did not!
 Again the population pulled on its rubbers and repaired to the postof fices and again disappointment was their portion. This time they land ed on the postmaster and wanted to know few things. Postmaster Hen son, of Douglas, instead of exhaust ing his vocal organs in answering questions, prepared and posted the following:
 Yes, the Evans is in. She ar rived last night. Yes, she had sev. eral days mail. No, it isn't over yet. It didn't come on the morning mail and no assurances of it arriy. ing on the afternoon mail. They didn't say why it hadn't come and we don't know why. Yes, the Ev. ans is going to touch here, so we are told. Mo- we don't know when Yes, the mail ought to be on her then unless it has been transferred in the meantime. Certainly it will be distributed as soon as it comes'
 At 5:..0 in the evening and fully an hour after the curtains of night had been pinned down by the stars, there was verification of the old adage All things come to those who

SECOND WEEK REPORTS
 ARE NOW BEING MADE
 ON FOOD CONSERVATION

DOUGLAS, Dec. 20.-The second weeks conservation activities on tine Island have added A new households to the loyal list, making total of 284. Weekly reports have been re- ceived from 201 families with 1647 ''wheatless" meals, 240 above ex- pectancy; 2680 "meatless" meals, 134 below expectancy; 1868 ''wasteless"
 meals, 553 below expectancy. This is somewhat of an improvement ov- CT last week. The "wasteess' meal does not seem to. be understood by some. It means get rid of all those "fads" that require eatables to be left on plates It also means throw away nothing that may be prepared in another way for another meal.

Inflammation
FALL PRUNING APPLE HINTS
Dead or Dying Limb Evaporates Large
Quantities Of Moisture From
Tree-Cut Them Oft.

Dead and dying limbs should be
pruned out close to the tree and the
wounds painted. Many people sup
pose that once limb on tree Is dead
that it dries out and does no essential
harm. As matter Of fact dead or
dying limb evaporates large quantities
of moisture from the tree. Cutting of
dead limb and paintisy the wound
saves large quantity Of moisture for
the remaining living limbs, leaves and
fruit.
Canker wounds or sun-scald areas
where the growing limb beneath the
bark has died ought to be scraped
clean up to a layer Of healthy grow
ing tissue and the wound painted.
Cleaning and painting these wounds
will destroy many insects which are
sheltered behind the shelly bark Of the
wound, which feed on the growing
layer and prevent 1t from healing over
the wound, and the painting will save
loss of water from the dead and
spongy wood.
Water sprouts and surplus limbs not
needed by the tree ought to be pruned
out now. All wounds more than half
an inch in diameter made in pruning
should be painted with common paint
to save evaporation from the wound.

PROPER TIME FOR PLANTING
In Localities Where Winters Are Cold
and Dry Spring Practice Is Most
Satisfactory.

There are many opinions regarding
the comparative values Of fall and
spring planting Of fruit trees. There
are many advocates of each practice
and each has substantial reasons for
his opinion.
When all reasons are taken into con-
sideratiOn, it results In the discovery
that in sections where the winters
are open and mild, fall planting is by
far more satisfactory than spring
planting. But in localities where the
winters are cold AMI dry, spring Is the
more satisfactory time for setting out
an orchard.
