Spraying the Trees.

1T is not generally known that bees
are beneficial to fruit blossoms. BY
going in search of the pollen in bios
SONS they help to fertilize the bios
SON. Fruits are often made more abun-
dant by the agency of insects. Many
think that the time to spray their fruit
trees is while they are in bloom This
is the wrong idea, as it is injurious to
the fruit and poisons the bees. Spray
ing of fruit trees should not be done
until after the blossoms have fallen
This is the only time that fruit trees
should be sprayed to kill the injuri-
Gus insects, such as the codling moth
1t does not injure the fruits at this
time, nor does it poison the bees. Now
is the time to act, and you cannot give
this matter too much attention to make
these facts known, and to accomplish
good results. \ =

Old Houses Affect Dreamers,

Here Is what an old English journal
says about the legend Of old houses
and odd dreams. There may be no
real foundation for the belief that
there Is any necessary connection be-
tween old houses and odd dreams, yet
II Is most certainly true that people
either born or having lived the great
er part OF their lives In them are more
peculiarly sensitive than others to the
influence Of dreams"

WALL STREET MARKET
!, SLOW, PRICES EASIER

NEW YORK, June 2s.-The Wall
street market was decidedly slow and
uninteresting during the first four
hours of the session with every tndi-
cation of continuing in this condition
until the close.
Russian news. gossip and rumors
were accredited with causing some
uneasiness. although the war news
was not unfavorable by any means.
but the street is indisposed to branch
out in new operations and the public
is holding decidedly aloof from trad
ing
The Austrian situation was reported
as not entirely satisfactory, but, sS
far as the above-board news could be
interpreted, there was no cause for
uneasiness.
Probably the loss Of deposits in the
for the return Of one-fourth Of the tax
money Immediately following = sale Of
$3.50 100000 Treasury certificates. and
the feeling that a bull market 10 next to
impossible with such great financial op-
erations in line for the next few months
before the big fourth liberty loan issue,
was the main influence Of the session.
coppers Show Strength.
For a time the coppers showed
strength and reacted. Then Steel
moved up little. but came down
again a full point. making recovery
of .. of the loss.
Baldwin Locomotive held a small
gain Nearly everything on the list
showed throughout the list averaging G
perhaps " point.
The rails were neglected.
Liberty ahs cold at 1856 to $3.50:
first Is at Sl.a2 to s4.42: second % at
943o to s&Ae. and AXIS At ss.62 to
s6.s2
Trading in Russian government ex-
ternal bonds on the curb market has
been stimulated by the developments
in the Russian situation.
Yesterdays reports Of possible allied
intervention in Russia caused the
bonds TO strengthen. and today they
made further advances on the reports
of the overthrow of the bolshevik gov
ernment. The 6hs gained four points
to - and the 61ss three points to ~.
Part of this gain was forfeited later
on the confusing character of Russian
advices.

PRESIDENT HAS POWER
TO CONTROL FRACTIONS
BY I. A. FLEMING.

The National War Labor Board has
decided that the President has full
power to control the traction COM
panies Of the country. to adjust dif-
ferences between employees and cor
porations in this line, to order In
crease fares and to intervene on any
indication of a threat to disrupt serv-
ice.
At the hearing yesterday before the
War Labor Board sentiment favored:
Government regulation, adminis-
tered either by single official, ad-
ministrator or commission.
That whenever difficulties between
employe and employer reached the
stage where a walkout or shutdown
was threatened the government
should step in. adjust wages. perhaps
working conditions and. II necessary.
authorize the companies to charge
higher fares.
That increases in fares in many cities
is practically imperative II employees are
TO be paid living wage and retained in
the employment of the companies.
That franchise arrangement. so Tar
as possible. should not be disturbed.
Action along these lines is said to be
a matter of a few days at the longest.
The city solicitor of Cleveland, whore
municipal ownership is In operation. i'm
PRESSED upon the board the wisdom OF
urging the President not to apply federal
regulation to the traction company OF
that city.
Neither of the local traction companies
has been represented at the hearings be-
fore the War Labor Board, and It may
be that it will not be necessary for
either to appeal for federal regulation.
District Rank Activities.
Directors of the District Bank at
a meeting held yesterday afternoon
declared the regular quarterly divi-
dend of " per cent. and an extra
disbursement of n per cent, payable
July 1 books, remaining closed June 2S
to July 5.
At the same time 100000 was or
dered transferred from undivided
profits to surplus account, making the
surplus now 100000.
Undivided profits account now shows
s45,000 credit, and the book value OF
the stock is close to s163 share.
1t is expected that the extra divi-
dend will be repeated quarterly; but
the directors do not obligate them
selves to an per cent dividend.
The new building being erected on
the west, doubling the space of the
bank, is fast nearing completion and
when completed will give the District
National one of the finest banking
rooms in the city.
Two bond transactions furnished the
bulk of the business on the daily
session of the local stock exchange.
Potomac consolidated 5s steady at
"a; Capital Traction SIS a little easier
Other stocks and bonds unchanged.
