TREE
TANGLEFOOT

Tree Tanglefoot is a compound
similar to that used by making fly
paper. It is easily applied and is
the most effective and economical
protection for fruit, shade and or
namental trees against all crawling
insects. On matured fruit trees and
all shade trees it is applied direct
ly to tree trunks. On young trees
over strips of manila paper.
One pound makes about 10 lin
eral feet of bank. One application
remains sticky three months and
longer. No mixing required. Use
exactly as prepared. Apply with
a wooden paddle. Will not injure
trees.
For tree surgery, Tree Tangle-
foot is superior to anything on the
market. It is the best application
after pruning or trimming. En-
dorsed by prominent park and GEM
etery superintendent, forresters,
ranchers and horticulturalists.

OBJECTS TO DANCING
 IN SCHOOL BUILDING

Objection to the school house being used as dance hall has been made by F. w. Welch, principal of the Nu- trioso school, who feels so keenly on the subject that he has appealed to the state board of education
 Principal Welch has so little sympa- thy with the local custom that he feels long since since shave been rele- gated to the archives of forgehulness" and in order that he might speak with authority to the Teacher asso- citation he has taken the matter up with the highest educational authori- ties of the state.
 The use of the school as a social center, so far as dancing is concerned, is not at all to the school masters lilS- ing, he makes clear. Whether he ob- jects on moral grounds could not be learned, but he certainly dislikes the undesirable results brought about by public meetings in the school house. One of the points he makes is that the building is left unlocked, with mo se curity of intrusion" Another thing for which he found cause of complaint
 was the fact that the room was not | left neat and clean.
 It is understood that the state board | of education feels that the matter is not in it's jurisdiction and will direct county school man that it is & problem l to be settled by the local school board
