E. G. Stone contended that the
blue grass sod should be kept from
the orchard, because the sod prevent
ed the rain fall reaching the roots of
the fruit trees, that the apple tree

winter, or in June, that the orchard
should be cultivated and the trees
mulched, that the trees should be
properly sprayed or busted at the
right time, that the apple tree should
be occasionally sprayed with wood
ash I've for determination of insects.
It was pointed out by A. Merchant
that apple trees bought of irresponsi-

use of ground and discouraging many
in the fruit industry.

RAILROAD IMPROVEMENTS

IS
After long and strenuous argu-
nent, the railroad company has de-
cided to make some much needed inn
provements at the depot.
For many years the Commercial
Club has been trying to get new de-
pot, something in keeping with the
amount of transfer work done here;
train sheds to protect the travelling
public and workmen in Indictment
weather; a telephone in the depot,
30 that the public might secure in
formation as to the arrival and de-
parture Of trains or connections with
other roads, and many other convent
ences that the great Northwestern
are in the habit Of giving their pa
irons at other points and expected by
the patrons at this point. These
things the Commercia Club and rail-
road men have labored long to secure,
and at last the railroad officials are
waking up and today are unloading
car Of cinders with which to cover
our present mud platform. But we
must not despair, possibly at some
distant future date they will see the
advantage Of continuing the good
work.

MEXICAN GERMANS
 HAVE KNIFE UP SLEEVE
 FOR ALLIED NATIONALS

MEXICO CITY, July 8 (Correspon- dence of Associated Press).-A Cat echism of Hate" was printed in the Deutsche Zeitung von Mexiko, and
 revenge was threatened in an article accompanying it on the day when the
 delegates of the German republic signed the peace treaty at Versailles. The paper, printed in German, is gen. orally believed to voice the opinions of the Pan-German, irreconciliable element of the German colony in

Mexico. Translations in part of the article follow:
 "The day of revenge of the German people is not far off. We shall do good to practice patience until the day of revenge has arrived. Re- venge must be cOldly cOnsummated Ill order to prepare ourselves quietly for it, we need a 'Catechism of Hatred"
 The twelve commandments" of the catechism summarizes in brief form many of the protests which have been heard from German sources since the terms of the peace treaty became known. They deny that Ger many wanted war, asseSt that Ger many was right in invading Belgium, attack England for the blockade of Germany, aver that Germany's armies were never defeated, and declare that German honor is insulted by making Germans sign admission of their guilt.
 Tn conclusion the article says: "These twelve commandments will suffice to prepare us mentally for The Day on which the hour of re- venge will strike"
 Asked if the sentiments expressed in the Deutsche Zeitung's article were those of the entire German colony in Mexico, one of the leaders of the German socialist part in Mex ico declared that the were held by the older and wealthier colonists, who dominated both the paper and the colony, but that a large part of the colony were willing to accept the verdict of the war and give their support to the new German govern ment and to reconstruction policies.
