Y. M. C. A. SECRETARY
HONORED FOR BRAVERY
Brooklyn Man Is Awarded Croix de
Guerre by Commander of

Paris. Dec. 11.-"For heroic and un-
firing work for the soldiers while un-
der fire." Stanley Modra, Of 2l23 Ca
ton avenue, Brooklyn, Y. M. c. A.
secretary, has just received the CrolX
de Guerre from General Haller, COM
mander-in-chief of the Polish army,
and has been mentioned in the Off
cial citations. He is the third Y. NJ
C. A. man thus honored for conspicu-
Gus bravery.
Modra has been with the Polish
forces continuously since his arrival
in France five months ago, and has
given many notable exhibitions of gal
lantry and fidelity to duty. During the
lest days of the hostilities he served
with the First division in the Vosges,
in charge of hut in narrow valley
between first and second line
trenches. From this hut he made trip
after trip, carrying supplies to the men
at the most advanced posts, and was
under fire repeatedly.
When the fighting was at its heavi
est Modra and the men associated witt
him in Y work continued their minis
trations to the soldiers, serving cocoa
cakes, when the men were in position
to receive them, and cigarettes. Thl
service contributed much to the higl
morale of the troops and won not onl
the praise of the officers but the lasi
ing gratitude of the men:

Clemson College.-Success in ton
working the pecan depends moi
alone on the art of budding. The pre.
paratory treatment and attention pre-.
vious to the budding season is of
prime Importance, and best results are
obtained only by strictly observing all
phases CT the work. Although greater
success is secured on trees ten inches
and under in diameter larger trees
may be successfully worked; but as
an extensive commercial proposition
it is scarcely advisable.
Preparatory treatment of the seed
ling trees must be begun during the
dormant season, preferably in Febru
airy. The general rule is to cut back
all limbs to stubs from S" to 12" in
length Limbs over 8" in diameter
should be cut back two to three feet
from their bases. or to where the di.
ameter is not over 3". In cutting back
trees OF 4" and over in diameter al
ways leave some Of the smaller
branches and several of the larger
ones to furnish leaf surface until the
tree can force out new shoots
IN some cases the height of the
tree has also to be considered. Top
ping should be done at place where
several branches are we'll placed tc
. form basis for a good head. This I
height will vary with the diameter !
and the number of branches The tor
should be removed with sloping CUT
just above one of the stubs or small |
branch: This promotes healing and I
prevents rotting. apply a coating OF
white lead and linseed oil to all cut /
surfaces. The trees are now in shape
for forcing out shoots upon which the
buds are to be placed. and will de /
mand no further special attention un
til summer.
About the middle of June thin Out
some of the numerous shoots, leaving
two or three we'll placed vigorous ones
on each stub This will increase the
development Of the remaining shoots
SO that they will have attained suffi
cient size for budding by August

by securing two ordinary budding

wrapping bud wood in moist burlal

can be kept for week or ten days
but it is best to have it delivered
smaller quantities every other day
Varieties suggested are Stuart
Schley. Moneymaker. and Curtis.
Performing the operation.-The op
Grafton of budding is simple, yet re
quires practice and carefulness. The
buds are usually set about to i
inches from the base OF the limb anf
on top of it. Always select a smooG
round place. With the knife ring the
limb being careful to make the cut:
straight so that they will coincide
when they meet. Select a good oue
from the budstick and do likewise
Now remove the bark from the link
by Sitting it down the back anc
prizing it up with the point Of tn'
knife. Remove the bud right likewlst
and insert it in the cut made on thS
limb. Tear a strip OF waXed clotf
about la inch wide and Is lnche'
long, and starting below the bud, Wral
it firmly in place. Leave only the I'll
of the bud out. If the bud ring o!
bark is Of greater circumference thar
the limb a small piece may be takeE
out so as to make it fit closely to ths
limb. On the other hand, if the hus
ring will no. meet around the limb,
small strip of bark may be left on th'
limb. 1t does not matter Il smal
omen place is left between the edge
Of the ring. In fact, some budder
make this a practice, for this give
room for the swelling of the bud rlne
However, it is essential that the end
of the bud ring come in close contac
with the bark OF the tree. After z
days the wraps are removed from IN
buds, and at this time, under faVol
able conditions, you can tell whethe
the bud has set or not.
After Treatment When gloWt
starts the following spring, all top
should be removed from branches o
which the buds are living. Thes
tops are cut off about 10 inches aboV
the bud, and the bark skinned o
from /" above the bud and upward
The shoot from the bud is tied to thi
10" piece of limb to prevent it's bein
broken off by the wind. All sprou'
coming out on the branch must l
removed and only the inserted bu
should be allowed to grow. Some tim
during the following winter, the te
inch stubs to which the bud shoo
have been tied must be cut back clio!
to the shoots.

election which proposed an issue OF
$4o,ooo,ooo for the building OF
roads by California, which showed
ten to one vote in favor of the bonds
and the building of roads. MIR. Wells

has already spent s4s,Ooo,ooo on
roads in the last few years, and the
big majority by which this last issue
is being voted she must realize what
a good investment money put in
roads really is, and any community
or State that properly spends money
on roads will soon realize the same.
It is a good investment. And in this
California election it is stated that
the farmers voted the heaviest in
proportion for the bonds.

THE CITIZENS MEETING.

To tell the truth we forgot about
the citizens meeting on Monday even
ing, but if we had not we doubt if
we would have gone in view Of the
storm that was raging among the
elements. We had to deliver the
papers in town as it seems impossible
to get boys who will do the job as it
should be done.
But the NEE 'ng was held. And
they did as itrle as they could do.
It was decided to issue bonds to take
up past Indebtedness and to pay for
the fire apparatus and to refund
some bonds that are past due and
for which there is no money with
which to pay them.
We had hoped the meeting would
have gone further and provided for
some sanitary measures, and also for
the issuing Of some bonds to make
some streets in the town. There are
lots of things that should be done in
this town, but apart from doing some
thing for our schools, nothing is OF
greater Importance just now than the
building of some streets, and put a
stop to this patch work system that
we have been following from time
immemorial.
And the only way we can do that
is to- have more money, and the only
way for a town to get money for
such work is to issue bonds, and that
is what we should do, and we believe
that the people are ready to do some

The Lexington Dispatch-News has
an editorial admonishing the people
of the Dutch Fork that they better
remain in the good old county OF
Lexington and not be flirting with
Newberry with view to coming over
to the good county of Newberry
The Dispatch-News says some mighty
nice things about these good people
all Of which is true. It says also that
the paper and the people of the other
portion OF the county stand ready
and willing to aid these people in any
way they may be able.
We do not know much about the
matter of annexation, or whether the
people down this side are thinking OF
coming over to Newberry or not. We
would be mighty glad to have them
We want to ask the Dispatch-News
just simple little question. If you
think so much of these good people
and want them to remain with you
and you are ready to aid them in any
way you can, why not get you1
county supervisor to come over that
side some time or other and builo
them some roads. The road from
Chaplin to Little Mountain is almost
impossible all the year round, ano
the road around by Capers Chapel is
not much better. And if there ha:
been any work to amount to anything
on either one Of these roads since the
advent of automobiles we do not re-
call it. Certainly if you think sc
much of the people and are willing
to aid them you would bestir your
self and get the supervisor busy II
the building Of roads. A great many
of these good people feel that then
interests are neglected is one reason
for, the talk Of getting out of the
county.

thing along that line. Our streets
are a standing reflection upon our
intelligence and our public spirit.
Why keep on waiting? If we had
gone ahead ten or twelve years ago
we would have had the streets and
they would have cost about half
what they will cost today. We need
to get busy.
