5000 Dead Sent From France.

Nearly 5000 bodies OF American
soldiers who died or were killed in
France during the war have been
shipped to the United States and turn
ed over to their nearest relatives, and
1900 more await shipment at French
ports, it is announced by the United
States Grave Registration Service. The
work of removing the bodies of fallen
Americans is expected to be completed
by next summer.
Nearly 60 per cent OF all the bodies
Of American officers and enlisted men
buried in French soil will be return
ed to the United States, according to
recent estimates. At frequent inter
walls parents and wives of dead SOL
dierS have gone to France to removed
the bodies Of their relatives, but upon
seeing the cemeteries and learning OF
the extreme care taken of them, de.
cided upon France as the final resting
place for the fallen.
The elimination of bodies within the
war zone began September IS, an
since then work has been completed
in seventeen cemeteries. Removal oil
bodies from occupied areas in Ger.
many and Luxembourg has just been
completed, and all Of them were sem

Fertilizer Worthless in Orchards.

The question Of whether it pays
in dollars and cents to apply COM
mercial fertilizer to apple trees and,
il so, what fertilizer or combination
of fertilizers is best, is of particular
interest to the commercial orchardist
and also TO the owner of even a few
trees. Many successful orchard men
claim good results from either nj
trate of soda or sulphate Of ammonia
and other fertillizing materials. In
order 10 get at the actual facts regard
ing the value of different fertilizing
materials when applied to apple trees,
the experiment station of West Vir-
GINA University recently made a re-
port on the results secured on a series
OF four experiments on S6S trees of
various ages, varieties and condi-
tons, and under wide range of soil
fertility. The general result indicated
that, while phosphorus and potassium
were directly uneconomical, nitrogen
carrying fertilizers were of value in
orchards which were on poor soil and in
a rundown condition.
The first experiment was on 40
bearing Rome trees on poor land and
was for the purpose Of studying the
effect of fertilizers on poor soil for
neglected trees. This experiment COW
cred nine years. The second expert
ment covered the same length
of time, but was on so Rome
trees growing in soil OF high fertility.
The third experiment was Of 8 years
Duration on so Grimes, Ben Davis
and York Imperial trees on the same
farm as the second experiment. The
experiment was simple test covering
a period Of three years Of the val
ue of nitrate Of soda on young bear
ing trees on very poor soil. All the
trees In these four experiments were
given clean cultivation, and cover crops
we're grown.
Nitrogen was the only element OF
plant food that produced results worth
noticing in promoting growth OF the
trees and only in the case Of the older,
starved orchards were the gains even
from nitrogen sufficient to justify the
expense Of the fertilizer. The applica-
ton OF nitrate of soda on the starved
orchards which showed best results
we're made in May, or just as growth
was starting.
Practically the same indications were
given in the consideration Of the quail
ty OF fruit produced. Neither potas-
sum nor phosphate gave results worth
considering and only in one case was
there an increase in yield from trees
treated with nitrate OF soda.
No results were secured from these
various experiments except in the case
of nitrate of soda to prove that the
beneficial results obtained in general
justified the expenditure Of money for
the fertilizers used. Phosphorus
bearing fertilizers show their chief
value in aiding the growth OF cover
crops in orchards. II must be admit
ted, however, that the divergent results
Of West Virginia's experiments tend
to indicate that there still remains
much to be learned regarding the
value or non value OF fertilizers is
still doubtful

The advance seat sale for Marie Tiff fany. who comes to the Elks theater Wednesday afternoon and evening October $, bespeaks a record for the talented Phoenix girl who is coming here after her triumphs in the east and important cities of the country. The following is from the Los Angeles Examiner:
 Marie Tiffany, long one of the Ia vorite sopranos of Los Angeles, made her first appearance in several years as soloist She has been singing Tn the Metropolitan in New York, and found time in a brief cross country concert to include Los Angeles in her schedule. to the delight of friends who welcomed her with volleys of applause and a wealth of flowers.
 "The soloist has the same lyric beauty which distinguished her early work with added suavity, beauuful finesse and poise that commanded immediate admiration. Richness and significance have been added to her vocal attributes, and her gracious per sonalitv is as always a radiant asset to her musical endowment. Miss Tif- fany sang Mozart's Och Nieni Noutar- dP for her opening song and for an encore to her second number save Oriegs The Dream in her native Nor wegian.

 The story moves about a syndicate of eastern 'financiers," who have swindled some western ranchmen out of several very valuable options. One of the cattlemen has discovered the trick and is appointed by the others to follow the men back to New York and obtain from them the options which mean everything to the western land owners.
