never be a hole man again of course but, he
is getting his strength and is now able to
get about pretty good with his clutches,
he will soon have an artafshal leg. We
were going to have Liberty Loan parade
but the I'D. of health stopped it and from
US kids point Of view a Board Of Health is
good when it closes the schools but, not
good when it says thou shall t not have a
parade.
II would of been magnificent parade
with band, from the city and, the fire
Department and, clubs and etc and we
have missed great demonstration that
would doubtlessly have boosted materially
our suecessfullness in the Loan however,
such is life and we must be resigned to
our fate though, it is easier to say than do.
We boys have a joke on the health
Board, they opened the window and in
fluenza, that is in, flew, enza, do you get
1t. II enza really was something it would
be better joke but, Dad says you cant
be to crittacle about joke and he'd laugh
at any joke once if, any Of us kids told it
to him. Hes very friendly TO US as you
know which, all fathers are not I mean,
some are not. Isn't it funny how some
things are all right when you say them
but. all wrong when you write them, that
would be an other joke if l said it in
stead of, writing it.
Well we did, have q little outdoor meet
ing and my Soldier spoke Say he may,
be only a Corporal but he sure does talk
like a general. He handed it to them
straight and he made the men, stand up
like they were on parade Some of the
ladies snivvled little to and then he got,

placations. Go across he said and, come
across he shouted in very pashnit tone.
Well Uncle Bill you just should of seen
Aunt Mary, she was in the crowd though
she moddestly stood back good deal but,
say her eyes were fairly shining like, stars
or, auto lamps at distance of about
three hundred SO yards and, she couldent

was Runaway coming passed And I
seen that is saw the Corporal look at her
once and gee, whiz, maybe you think he
dident cut loose with every thing he had
after that, it was great.
Aunt Mary she didn't say much when
we talked about having him over but, say
she was, all there when it comes to taking

body get enough TO eat it was him. 1t

on his taking some more of this and, Just
a little of that and, he being afraid of

GARFIELD BELIEVES ADEQUATE
COAL IS CONSIGNED HERE.
The local Coal Administration to-
day gained from q prominent Penn
sylvania operator just back from an
Interview with National Fuel Admin
istrator Garfield. an approximation OF
Garfield's reasons for denying the APP
peal for priority orders on shipments
OF coal TO New York.
DR.. Garfield has good reason to be-
lieve. according to the testimony OF
the Washington visitor. that there is
a great supply of coal consigned to
New York which In still tied up at
Jersey tidewater points and at places
en- route from the mines.
He is said 20 hold with A. II. Smith,
Director OF Eastern Railroads, that
coal In sufficient quantities to keep
New York going has been moved from
the mines TO tidewater. and that II Is
up to the consignees to see that It is
transferred from tidewater points TO
this city. DR.. Garfield points an in
in that at kenilworth. N. J.
Several hundred carloads OF New
York's coal have been s~lde-tracked for
several days.
Certain OF the local administrators
take issue with DR.. Garfleld's opinion
in this regard. 1t was maintained in
the office OF the city Fuel Administra-
ton to-day that figures on transport
indicate that the cause OF the
coal famine lies in the inability Of
the railroads to furnish sufficient cars
at the mines. An instance was cited
wherein n Pennsylvania mine requir-
ing 1900 cars a week to transport its
product got only six yesterday.

fast as they appear. Any blossoms al
lowed to bear fruit this spring will
make just that much less fruit next
year. as newly set plants never bear
anywhere near full crop the first year.
Cultivation must be very frequent but
shallow, and not deep enough close
around the plants to injslre the roots,
which spread to considerable dis
lance in all directions.
Watch the currant bushes for the
common greenish- black cGrrant worm,
which sometimes appears as If by
magic and before the gardener Is
aware of it, has stripped whole bushes
and sometimes whole patches Of their
leaves The worms usually appear
later in the season, about mid summer.
They can be controlled and destroyed
by knocking them off into pan and
destroying them, If the patch is small,
or by spraying with arsenate Of lead
or any of the arsenic mixtures.
Gardeners wio have large gardens
and good sized patch of corn
should plant some squash or pumpkins
between the rows. There is ready
market in this city for pumpkin, and
they and late squash can be kept into
the winter if properly stored. Some
difficulty may be experienced in find
ing pumpkin seed as it has become
very scarce.

Your War Garden

Apple blossoms are failing, and the
tine for spraying to kill the worms
Of the coddlirg moth is here. No pest
is so common and general among all
apples as the coddling moth, whose
offspring, Matched from an egg laid in
the blossom, eats his way into the
heart Of the apple and then energies
as a coddling moth, to repeat the
cycle. One spraying Is better than
none, two are still better, and three
sprayings properly done are best OF
all.
If spraying for the coddling moth
alone arsenate of lead is the best and
most generally used SPRAY. but COM
bination SPRAY is equally as good and
serves the double purpose of Destroy
ing the worms OF the meth and guard
ing the trees against scale and fungus
diseases of the apple. The first ap-
plication should be put on when about
nine -tenths Of the blossoms have fall
len. The second spraying should be
ten days later, and the third a month
after the second, to catch the second
crop Of worms. To be entirely success
full the spray must be applied as a
very fine mist under high pressure, as
high as 100 pounds to the square inch.
Such pressure can scarcely be obtained
with other than a power sprayer. but
If no other spraying outfit is to be had,
hand sprayer, operated from buck
ct, Is better than none at all. Spray
mixtures, ready to use when water Is
added may be had in this city and
the spraying pumps are also on sale.
1t is along about this time Of tho
year, or little later, that the gard

mon Of the insect pests Of this fruit
II the leaves are examined now or soon
holes will be found in them and the
edges will be seen to be cut away
Examination Of the underside of the
leaves will show a tiny green worm,
called the saw fly. Where the name
originated Is mystery, as the insect
is a worm, and not fly at all. Some
times the wormer come in great NUM-
bers and do much damage. Spray the
whole patch with an arsenate Of lead,
solution or solution OF Paris green
and water, mixed to about the strength
used for potatoes. Go over the patch
once or twice and the worms will soon
disappear. It is a good plan while
spraying to kill the worms to make a
combination spray using Bordeaux
mixture. which is a combination Of cop
per sulphate and lime. The latter is a
spray for fungus diseases. The type Of
this disease common in practically all
strawberry patches is known as rust.
It appears as brownish splotches and
spots on the leaves and in it's worst
form badly withers the leaves. One
or two sprayings will control this
disease.
