Since the scale insects do not eat,

Vigorous spraying should be done
during warm days In winter and be-

his wife asked anxiously. She had

looking, Alix thought, strangely un-

up to greet her. Cherry very quietly
subsidized into a wicker chair, listened
rather than talked, moved her lovely
eyes affectionately from one to an
other.
Peter hardly moved his eyes from
her, although he did not often adj
dress her directly; Justin was quite

beauty Of Anne's cousin; Anne her
self, with an underlined pang, admit
ted In her soul that Cherry was pref

fectcd. With the lovely background
OF the forest, the shade Of her thin
wide hat lightly shadowlng her face.
with the dew Of her long sleep and
recent bath enhancing the childish
purity OF her skin, and with her blue
eyes full Of content, Cherry was

and charm.

the ceremony, as AllX and Anne had
done year ago, but there was deep
relief and amusement in their mood
today, and 1t was with real pleasure
In the closer intimacy that the little
group gathered about the fire that
night.
After that, life went on serenely, and
1t was only occasionally that the girls
were reminded that Cherry was a
married woman with husband ex-
pecting her shortly to return to him.

THD FIGHT AGAINST ILLITERACY

llliteracy among the white popula-

Chicken-eating in hogs Is often
caused by lack Of having a balanced

to prevent this by feeding proper

THE NEW GEFssszTaas PEAoE lPAor
Considered Complete Victory for tho
Observation-Disclosures Features.

Washington, Aug. 25.-The cir
reconcilable" group in the United
States, original foes of the Versailles
treaty, have won a complete victory.
Official announcements at the White
House that separate peace with
Germany had been negotiated, con-
ferences between President Harding
and Republican members Of the Sem
ate Foreign Relations Committee,
yielded the information that at last
substitute FOR the peace treaty me-
gotlated by President Wilson had
been agreed upon between Germany
and the United States.
The new treaty Is brief and ingen-
iously worded. Germany conceded
practically every point. She gave the
United States all the rights which
were given to other countries under
the Versailles treaty. In effect the
new treaty does the following things:
l. 1t establishes peace between the
United States and Germany rs soon
as the pact is ratified by the United
States Senate and the German Reich
stag.
2. 1t grants to the United States
all the rights which were given other
powers under the Versailles treaty.
3. 1t makes possible the ncgotia-
lion in the future of new commercial
| treaties.
4. 1t contemplatcs the resumption
OF diplomatic relations as soon as the
| ratiitcations are exchanged.
.. 1t makes possible the issuance
OF peace proclamation terminating
all war legislation in which the
phrases "duration Of the war" or
until after peace shall have been
proclaimed" were used. These laws
have been source Of much discus
sion and legal dispute.
The "irreconcilablcs" are happy,
for they have brought to their ranks
not only Il majority of the Senate,
but the executive branch Of the gov
ernment, including alike Secretary
Hughes, who originally favored the
Versailles treaty with reservations.
Senator Lodge, who drew up Il set
Of reservations to the Versailles
treaty, has agreed to the abandon
ment Of that document and is now III
favor OF The new peace treaty.
Senator Knox, who wrote the peace
resolution of Congress, Is pleased be-
cause the new treaty follows almost
exactly the purposes Of that resolu-
ton. The "irreconcilables" set out
to defeat the League of Nations, to
see to it that the United States as
sumed no political obligations in any
treaty, to make separate peace
with Germany, and to see that Amer
ica's economic rights growing out Of
the European war were safeguarded.
All these points in the program Of
the "irreconcila bles' have been alb
solutely won by them. The new trea-
ty ignores the League Of Nations. IT.
does not involve the United States in
any assumption Of political obliga-
tions or responsibilities in European
affairs. 1t confirms the Congressional
resolution declaring peace. 1t safe
guards American economic rights IN
all the territory given either through
mandates or concessions to the vic
torious powers in the European war.
1t affords the basis for claims Of
equal commercial! opportunity in oil
regions and in other areas where
valuable resources may be found
