Former President Taft is showing
his superiority to petty partisanship in
the fine way in which he is backing
up President Wilson in the fight for a
league of nations. Republicans will
have an opportunity next year to con-
fer upon him that reward for faithful
and patriotic duty to the country
which they denied him in 1912. Never
was a president more deserving of re-
election than was Taft at that time.
And he is the same broad minded
Statesman now that he was then
Where in its ranks can the Republican
party find his equal?

him several years ago while he was
engaged in propping the overburdened
branches of his Upper Valley place,
Russell g. Pond has developed busi-
ness that is attracting attention in the
fruit districts, bringing him gratifying
orders from orchard districts of Cali
fornia.
Formerly orchardists used wooden
sticks for props. These, however, the
young orchardists learned were not
secure, since the branches often
slipped from the ends of the wooden
stakes. He invented a hook which
might be placed around the burdened
branch and tied to the body of the tree.
Since then he has experimental with
galvanized wire and screw eyes as a
protection against broken limbs.
The branches are supported in au-
tumn, when the fruit is heaviest, as
we'll as when the winter weight of
snow is a menace. A heavy washer is
on each screw eye. After one year S
growth. it is said. the wood and bark
grow over this washer and prevent
the screw from pulling out
After having spent the winter in
Portland, Mr.. Pond returned to his
Upper Valley orchard place Monday.
