 The above photograph is splendid reproduction of the big G. M. .. motor truck stationed in the court yard, containing the paraphernalia for the demonstrations and lectures in child welfare work which is being put on in Prescott this week by Dr. Frances Sage Bradley, field represen- tative of the Child Welfare Bureau of the U s. Department of Labor. The actual demonstrations and examina- tions and lectures are conducted in the northeast room on the second floor of the court house, which has been fitted out especially for this work and each examination of chil- dren is strictly private and only the mother and child together with the physicians and attendants are ad- mitted, and the same privacy can be had there as in the home.
 Dr. Bradley arrived in the city last night and with her corps of assist ants, are stopping at Mrs. s. R. Young's boarding house. Dr. Bradley did not intend beginning examina- tlons until tomorrow morning, but on account of the eager response which has been had to the appeal, she con sented to postpone some of her other duties and begin work this afternoon at o'clock, so that Prescott mothers could have three and one-half days instead of three.

All those who reported to Mrs. Logan yester- day will be received this afternoon if possible, so that this number will be disposed of before tomorrow's rush begins. The office hours of Dr. Brad ley are from 9 to 12 in the morning, and l to 5 in the afternoon, and ex- aminations average about three an hour. With each examination, the mother is presented with a written report on the condition of the child and short lecture is given for her benefit in caring for the child's needs in the future.

GOVERNMENT WINS TWO BIG TAX CASES
Increased Value of Capital As sets Involved - Inheritance Tax Paid State Not to Be De-
 ducted From Federal Return.

Washington, May 16.-Through de- cision of the supreme court today, the government won two important victories in controversies involving interpretation of income provisions of the revenue acts of 1916 and 1917
 Increased value of a capital asset could not be added to invested capital, the court ruled in the appeal of the LaBelle Iron Works, an Ohio concern, from a ruling by treasury officials, but on the contrary must be consid- cred in computing the profits of the corporation on which the taxes were to be assessed. In the other decision, the court ruled that inheritance or succession tax paid to a state could not be deducted from the "net estate" taxed under the revenue act
 The LaBelle Iron Works suit was characterized by high government official as the most important legal suit affecting federal finances to arise in several decades" The specific point at issue was whether ore lands in the Mesabi range of Minnesota, purchased for $190,000 prior to 1904, could be returned by the iron com pany at a new valuation of $10,000,- 900, in 1917, the increase being GOV cred by a stock issue and carried un der invested capital.
 Hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes hang upon the decision, there being but few partnerships or corpor- ations which did not have on their books an item showing material sums resulting from appreciated value of capital assets.
 The inheritance tax case was brought to the supreme court by ex- ecutors of the estate of the late J. Parsen Purdy of New York. No less than five states had collected taxes on the turnover of portions of the estate within their jurisdiction and the eX- ecutors claimed that all these sums should be deducted before federal taxes on the met estate" could be legally computed Refusal of tax collectors to agree to this contention was upheld in turn by the Treasury Department and the federal courts and today by the supreme court.
 The met estate" contemplated in the act, the opinion said, was the en- tire residue remaining to the dis tributed after the immediate charges, such as funeral expenses and debts, had been met Imposition of the fed eral tax did not interfere with the right of the state to control the prop erty within it's borders of decedent the court ruled,

AID VITAL TO SHADE
TREES WHEN TRANS
PLANTED nv CITY
Removed from Natural Environment
Forest Trees Readily Fall Prey
to Attacks By Insects.

what beautiful house!" is an ex
preston that seldom means just what
1t implies.
More often than not the visitor sees
little or nothing of the house-a gable
perhaps, or tiled roof or brick chin
ney. What the admirer really means
is: what beautiful shade trees!" For
shade trees first attract attention and
give the impression of beauty, spa.
ciousness and sheltered comfort.
Wherever man transplants a tree, he
should make a sincere and sympathetic
attempt to understand the conditions
which contribute to it's health.
In its natural forest environment, a
tree has the benefit of sunshine and
shade, moisture and humus, and a GER
tain immunity against insect ravages.
Transplanted in street or park, 1t
loses these things and must depend
upon man to restore them. Often a tree
is planted in hard, packed soil which
frequently is disturbed; sometimes it
is poisoned by acids or noxious fumes
and dust, and its supply of water and
light is matter of hazard. Under such
conditions the tree loses its resistant
powers Just as man who has suffered
an attack of fever. In its weakened
state, the tree is easy prey to the
swarming insect pests.
Man Can Fight Insects.
Sometimes the adverse conditions
cannot be improved, but in this event
man can lend his aid in fighting the
insects and protecting his trees from
injury. Farmers Bulletin, No. l,l69,

ment of agriculture, outlines practical
means for controlling most of the in.
furious shade-tree insects in the east
ern part of the country. The insects
which attack shadetrees are roughly
grouped into three classes: Leaf chew
ers, wood and bark borers and sap
sucking.
The federal specialists explode ia.
vorite fallacy, when they state that
methods for discriminating insects
which depend upon the injection OF
chemicals into the bark are absolutely
worthless Money spent in buying such
equipment is wasted. The principle OF
bark injection is, presumably to intro
duce a poisonous material into the sap,
so borers and leaf eaters will be killed,
but the idea, plausible though it may
seem, is quite useless.
The bulletin discusses the various
poisons and the effective use Of each,
the treatment of tree wounds, filling
OF cavities, pruning, stimulation OF
growth by the use of fertilizers, the
use of implements in the care of the
trees, sprays and spraying equipment.
Another theory exploded is that the
use, of tree bands gives a tree COM
plete protection. This idea is held by
many people and has resulted in the
indiscriminate application of bands Of
al kinds Many of the insects, the hull
letin shows, reach the trees by flying
and the bands are no defense against
them. Tree bands are effective iii some
cases and specialists describe how they
should be adjusted and of what mate
rails they should be made.
Illustrations Show Pests.
The bulletin contains illustrations
and descriptions of most of the shade
tree insect pests which the eastern tree
owner is apt to encounter, together
with methods for detecting their pres
ence. IL is stated that the bureau of
entomology, United States department
OF agriculture, in any case not covered
in the bulletin, will give through its
branch of forest entomology, specific

should be left in their burrows and
the wood or bark cut into convenient
