FIRE BLIGHT HURTS
MANY FRUIT TREES
Disease Attacks Pear as Well as
Apple and Quince-Prun-
ing Is Only Remedy.

In recent years disease has been
spreading through the apple orchards
Of Missouri, killing much Of the newly
set fruit and many Of the young grow.
ing shoots Of the trees. This disease
is fire blight. It attacks the pear az
well as the apple and ounce. 1t de.
velOps to a serious degree almost ev.
cry year In pears. 1t rarely causes az
much injury In apples as it did last
year. 1t Is caused by bacterial para.
site which develops in the growing lay.
er Of the tree caused by bacterial
parasite which develops in the growing
layer Of the tree causing the tissues
to die during spring and early summer.
There Is no other known preventive
than cutting out and burning the
blighted parts, according to J. G. Whit
ten of the Missouri College of Agricul-
ture.
The best time to cut out blight Is In
late winter or early spring just before
the blOssOming season. 1t winters
over mostly In pears though occasion
ally in few apples like Jonathan and
ACiio" ALuASpulCut. " hllc III
the blight shows in millions of the
blighted places on the twigs, it will
winter over only In n few places in the
trunk, main limbs or occasionally in
the twigs. In early spring these win
ter pockets of blight may be seen in
blistered areas on the bark which give
off honeylike exudatiOns. Insects feed
on these honeylike masses. These
honeylike masses are full of germs Of
the disease which are carried by the
insects to the blossoms and growing
points in spring. If these winter
pockets can be cut out, and the wounds
painted, no blight germs will be left
and the disease will not spread during
the spring and early summer. If n
blight pocket here and there is over
looked near the blossoming time, the
disease will spread from it to the flow
er clusters and growing twigs. The
first blighted parts in the flower clus-
ters and new twigs put out honeylike
eyudations which stand in little beads
on the young twigs, lead stems or
young fruit stems. If these are cut
out Just after the blooming period,
enormous spread of blight can be pre-
vented. 1t will be well to keep this
point in mind this spring and cut out
blight early before 1t spreads through
the orchard.
Treatment with salt, calomel, iron
and other materials has been recon-
mendod for preventing blight. None
of these is of any use. The reason
why salt or iron stirred into the soil
under blighting tree, or ca1omel In
jected under Its bark seems to check
the blight is because the spring blight
runs its course so quickly that by the
time it Is observed and the alleged
remedy applied, the blight Is usually
ready to stop Of Its. own accord.

WILL SILVER BE REMoNET1zED

An eastern brokerage company in a
recent market letter says:
Free silver, the issue on which the
famous campaign of 1896 turned, may
be brought about automatically by the
advancing price of the metal
The then propentents advocated the
free coinage of silver at the ratio of
l6 to l, which would have been $129'4
an ounce for the white metal, on the
basis of $2O.67 an ounce for gold.
On a 90-cent silver market the gov
ernment's profit has been cut to 80
cents on each dollar coined, and i
silver keeps advancing at the rate it
has been going up the past month i;
will be at the free coinage point with
in the next two or three months.
The free coinage of silver would
have put metal on the same basis as
gold. The United States coinage of
gold Yields no profit to the govern
ment and is redeemed as $2O.67 an
ounce for the full weight of the coins.
A standard silver dollar contains
about 77-l00 of an ounce. In a 9O-cent
metal market this silver costs the gov
ernment about 10 cents. For twenty
years the average price of silver was
5S cents an ounce, and the cost to the
government to coin was approximately
4 cents. Thus the 90-cent price of sill
yer has cut the government senior
age profit from So cents to 80 cents
on the dollar.
But silver coin is not exchangeabie
with foreign nations at its face value.
In fact, it must be exchanged into gold
to pay a foreign debt. Under the free
silver plan the metal would have to be
coined free, and free coinage would
put silver on basis to be used in in
ternational exchange; in other words,
would remonetize it. But if silver
should go to $l.29 an ounce the 77-lJb
of an ounce of silver in a dollar would
then be worth $l.0O and free coinage
would be an actuality.
However, this pseudo remonetiza-
ton of silver could only be made per-
manent by decree of all governments.
Conditions in Europe are such that the
remonetization of the metal would re-
dound more to the material advantage
of the European governments than to
the United States, as we have plenty
of gold with which to do business with
other countries, while they are and
will be short of this metal for years
to come. hi
Another reason advanced why silver
likely will be remonetizad is, when the
war is over every nation in Europe
engaged in the war will try to find u
market for its product in foreign coun-
tries, many Of which are on silver
basis. The fluctuations in price Of
the metal in the past have always
made transactions with these countries
more or less of speculation on the
rise and fall Of silver. The advantage
Of having a standard is SO palpable
that European nations are beginning
to take q favorable view of silver q
remonetization.
We reiterate, the silver, industry ID
facing an epoch unique In its history.
Prosperity 10 ahead for all associated
with it.-lninl Investor.

the auspices of the firm. It was
here that the real meaning of the
fairy's words first became clear.
He had heard them whispered in
his ear since childhood, but not I'M
til now did he understand.
Il am going to be a manager"
he said. And he quit his job again.
He started by giving Chicago
remarkable series Of Sunday con-
certs in the Auditorium. He in
troduced, for the first time in
Western America, some of the
worlds most brilliant stars. Lusia
Tetrazzini was one. There were
many others. Chicago musicians
gasped, but the public did not re-
spond at once with the enthusiasm
for which Rabinoff had hoped. In
stead of becoming discouraged, he
went to work on a still bigger idea
to give Chicago it's own permanent
grand opera company. 1t is not
generally known that it was Max
Rabinoff who first brought the pro-
ject to the attention of the fore
most citizens of Chicago.
It is not generally known that
he secured pledges for a guaranty
fund and negotiated the deal which
brought Oscar Hammerstein to
Cook County in 1909. But these
are the facts. Rabinof slept aside
from the post of managing director
Of the Chicago Opera Company at
it's formation because he felt that
he needed more experience. He
slept aside and went to Paris.
There he saw the incompatible
Anna Pavlowa and Mikail Mordkin.
After Otto H. Kahn had made it
possible for them to come to
America, Rabinoff became their
managing director. He has direct
ed all the subsequent American
tours Of Pavlowa and her Ballet
Russo.
When the Republic of Mexico, in
the last days Of the Diaz Admins
tration, wanted to celebrate it's CEN
tennial with a season of superla-
tive opera, Rabinoff became the
man of the hour. Rather, he was
the man of forty-eight hours. On
July IL he asked for two days to
decide whether he could put on
season of opera opening Septem-
Der 2.
In that forty EIGHT hours he COW
cred the world with his cables.
Then he answered yes. The
scenery and costumes of the Met
ropolitan Opera Company were Sc
cured. The staff of the same COM

own, so he went to the Chicago
warerooms Of big Western piano
company. He said he wanted 10
practise-said it in the Rabinoff
way, the way in which he had told
his father he wanted to come to
America. There was no turning
him away.
"Who is making that good
music?" asked the head of the
piano firm, as he happened into
the warerooms. He was told about
the unusual Russian boy, and sent
for him. He learned to his sur
prise that Max was not down.
and-out genius.
II have money in the bank" Max
informed him with happy laugh.
"And when that's gone I'll get
some more. But | don't want to
leave this artistic atmosphere until
I have to-
"How would you like to do some
collecting for us ?"
This, we learn, seemed to be his
chance. While he had previously
been getting forty dollars a week
at an uncongenial position, he was
now earning eight dollars week,
with atmosphere. Atmosphere
meant great deal to him, and
Rabinoff was willing to chance it.
He realized that sporting blood was
not always a heritage Of the Bri-
ton, or his cousin, the American.
The account continues:
AS he advanced to the position of
piano salesman his income grew
astonishingly. So did the atmos-
phere. One day he sold two pianos,
and before the week was out he had
sold six. In few months his sales
in the Jewish and Polish districts
of Chicago astonished the manage
ment. They gave him free hand.
He became the thigh" salesman of
the concern. The record he made
still stands.
The fairy's wand was evidently
getting in it's work, and young
Rabinoff meanwhile followed his
original plan. Whenever he saw
several good openings ahead, he
took them ALL In this case, at
least, art did not make war upon
common sense. Music didn't inter-
fere with business, and business
was giving music it's glorious
chance.
He induced the company to es-
tablish foreign branches, and he
was selected to install them. He
now knew English, Russian, Polish,
Bohemian, German, French, and

fanciful tale that is told other than
like record of accomplishments
based on facts.
He came to America when he
was but thirteen years of age. He
had studied three years in Mos
cow gymnasium. His father was
an attorney and hoped that his son
would be content to follow him.
But the heart of Max was set upon
America and opportunity. He
wasn't exactly sure in detail just
what he wanted to do; but he want
ed to ''do things" and America, he
was sure, was the place where
things are done. He had passion
for music, but that could wait. It
was America first for Max.
They told him America was full
of immigrants who came here with
high hopes and were working like
slaves for a bare living. He knew
it was true. For two years he read
everything he could find about
America. Then he decided that he
would rather work like a slave in
free country than to have things
easy in country where his hands
were tied.
Tobacco-stripping was his first
job when he finally landed in north
west Chicago. 1t lasted only three
weeks, but before then Max had
registered in nightschool. Then he
met a compatriot in the upholstery
business who asked him to come
over to the factory and learn mat
tress-making. He went. He join
ed the Knights of Labor. Soon he
was getting a mans wages. In
few years he was making forty dol
lars a week. Then he quit his job.
So far he had paralleled the
lives Of a good many other sue
cessful immigrants. But if he
hadn't been wise enough to be fool
ish at this particular stage the
world would never have heard of
Max Rabinoff. He quit his job
in order to enter the University of
Illinois. He had saved almost forty
dollars a week for a definite pur-
pose. To take musical course?
By no means. Young Rabinof
wanted with the greatest yearning
tn become a great musician. But
he wasn't in a hurry about becom-
ing musical graduate. He stud
led analytical chemistry. He
studied music hard, wherever he
had the chance. But he studied
America harder yet. And one Of

that he is true blue" He
hits the nall sQuarely 'on the
head, and sums up the situation
in a nutshell:
" Before our nation enters q
war il is perfectly proper to dis
cuss the wisdom of going 10
war, but the discussion is closed
when congress acts, After that
no one should be permitted To
cloak attacks on the government
or aid TO the enemy under the
claim that he is exercising free
dom of speech. No sympathy,
therefore. will be wasetd upon
those who have been arrested
for unpatriotic utterances. They
abuse free speech. And this
applies TO attack ON the allies as
well as to attack upon the
United States. We can no more
allow our allies TO be crushed
than we can afford to be crush
ed ourselves. The defeat of
our allies would throw the
whole burden of the war upon
us. We must stand together
and fight it through. There are
only two sides TO a war
