SPRAYING TIME
HAS ARRIVED

Spraying time has arrived and ev
cry farmer who has an orchard
should do some spraying next week
1t pays to spray. Spraying is ar
insurance for the orchard. Spraying
increases the value of fruit from
so to 100 per cent. There are quite
a number of diseases of the fruits
that can not be controlled except by
spraying. Unless we spray on,
fruit we are running the risk OF
losing it.
Fruit is the most healthful food
one can eat; the doctors will tell
you that. Fruit will cut down ou1
grocery bill also. There is nothing
better than canned peaches on the
shelf in the pantry, enough to last
the year round.
I expect to devote next week to
spraying all the orchards of the
county, that is, I mean to assist
every one who call on me for assist
ance.
Below I am giving a spray calen-
dar for peaches and apples.
Peaches
Time to spray: When two-thirds
of the shucks have been pushed OH
by the peaches, which is from two
to three weeks after the petals fall
Kind of spray: Use n gallon OF

The fire company made a record run to the blaze and rendered all the help possible with the chemicals. which were of little use against the greater force of the flames
 Great crowds gathered to watch the flaming building as it burned and broke and then crumbled to earth. Shortly after 1 o'clock there was lit- tie more than heap of ashes and brick to mark the spot where the day before stood one of the county's most modern school buildings.
 As soon as the blaze was discovered and the alarm given the police were notified and b1oodhounds were rushed to the scene with all the speed pos siblo in the hope that the supposed frcbug might be run down.
 The coincidence of two of the coun- tvs finest school buildings being burned within two nights of each oth : CT caused much comment and specu- lation was made as to the possible origin. Everyone seemed convinced of one fact, that for two public in- stitutions to burn in this manner Is very suspicious and lend color to

TAR AND FEATHERS
 FOR PRO-GERMANS

Staunton, Ill.,. February 13. This little mining town was quiet today after the disorders of last night which reached climax when n mob seized S. Oberdan, an alleged I. w. W. leader, and John H. Metzen, his attorney, stripped them, applied coats of tar and feathers and then started them walking from the town fin oppo- site directions.
 Tonight 1t was learned thnt Ob- erdan walked seven miles to miners cabin, where medical aid was obtained. He later departed for his home in Nol<omis, III.
 Metxen. who had been employed by Oberdan to defend him in his trial for alleged violation of the prohibition law, walked 10 miles to Mt. olive. H., and then started for Chicago on trnin.
 Leaders of the mob. who accused the two men of being disloynl, sroundcd up n hundred persons whom they charged with being pro-Gcrman and forced them to kiss the American flag. They said the action was to clean the conn munity of pro-Germanism. No arr rests have been made.

the idea the fire was the work of in- cendaries.
 As far as could be learU4d there was no serious injury done to anyone during the entire time that the build- ing was in flames. By the time that the news had spread to tie central part of the city the buifelng was ai- ready past recovery. A gallant fight was made for a short time hxsthe voi- unteers. but it was soon evident to all that any effort to save the doomed building was futile.
 Much talk was heard about placing an immediate guard about all of the public buildings in the county. There is yet practically unprotected from de- struction of this nature many large buildings in the city, the destruction of which would seriously cripple the industrial and commercial life of tfis city and county. It Is probable tL&s plans will be formulated early tod to take ample precaution to protces these buildings.

Average of B 1-2 Per Cent Would Cost Roads SS2,-
 000,OOO More Annually
MANY EMPLOYES
 LEAVING SERVICE
Witnesses Contend They Are Attract ed From the Railroad Field By Higher Wages Paid in Many
 Other Lines

Washington, February 13.-The first official indication of what proposed railroad wage increases would cost was given at todays hearing before tho railway wage commission when U. A. Franklin. presented the claims of the railway employees department of the American Federation of Labor.
 "Figuring an average of 8 1-s per cent increase on the flat increases asked. the additional cost would be $s2,000,000 annually" Secretary Lane. chairman of the commission. com puted.
 Mr. Franklin said the estimate seemed correct based upon increases suggested that any increases should arply to unorganized workers of the same trades, numbering about 260,0 who were not figured in the rough call culation. The wage basis asked was $6 day for skilled men, such as car men. machinists and blacksmiths, $4.50 a day for helpers and time and half for overtime. Sunday and holiday work.
 None of the witnesses before the commission has submitted estimates of what the increases requested would cost. all apparently taking the posi- ton of A. B. Garrettson of the con ductors. who said that 1t did not mat ter what the cost would be since the increases were essential to maintain standard of living and that if an in- dustry did not maintain the men serv- ing 1t the industry did not deserve to survive.
 LOW WAGES CAUSE EXODUS
 Low wages have been blamed by the witnesses for the exodus of railroad workers to other industries. with the result that many skilled men hava been lost. Mir Franklin said the vari- ous shop unions he represented had lost 15 per cent of their membership to shipyards and still others to muni- tions factories.
 Warren S. Stone of the engineers told the commission that never beforc this winter have the railroads entered the bad weather season with equip ment in such rotten" condition and

 Possibly several additional divisions have reached various points behind the lines. but the fact has not been established with certainty. At any rate. it Is agreed by authorities here that the greatest possible number the Germans could add to their forces on this side does not exceed 20 divisions. which would bring the total to 1s6 di- visions. 2.s40.OOO men.
