PICKING APPLE TREES OVER
TWICE MAY BE PROFITABI. Il

Most apple growers remove all the
fruit from the trees at one picking.
Many, however, according to obscrv-
ations of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture make two or
more pickings during the season, es-
pecially when the fruit is not uni
tormy of good color but is otherwise
of high quality. The advalbilty Of
making more than one picking de-
pends upon the extent TO which the
size ana color Of the fruit are affect
ed by the quantity borne by each tree.
The apples on the outside of the
tree especially the larger and better
colored ones are removed at the first
picking to permit the limbs to lift
and expose the uncolored fruit to the
sun. This thinning also tends to
bring about an increase i'm size of
the fruit remaining ON the trees.
In the course of a week or TO days the
second picking is made. when the re-
mainder of the crop is usually re-
moved. In a few instances more than
two pickings are made. especially with
early apples.
Two pickings are more expensive
than one because Of the additional
time required, though the increase in
the market value Of the crop often
justlfies this practice. If the crop is
Of low quality the value of the re-
turns usually are not suffcient to war
rant the extra cost of more than one

That Columbus is destined to play
an important part in bringing some
measure of relief to the fire insur-
ance situation in Mississippi is evi-
denced by the fine response with
which the Columbus Insurance and
Mortgage Company is meeting in its
expansion program.
From all sections Of Mississippi APP
plications for insurance and for agen-
cies are pouring into the company's
office. The company is writing bust
ness in an ever-increasing volume
and prospects are bright for a tre-
mendous volume drawn from all sec
tions of Mississippi.
Without any effort whatever al
sales promotion, there is steady de-
mand for the available stock of the
company, although it has not beer
formally placed upon the market.

EUROPEAN RELIEF
FUND STILL OPEN

In some quarters the impression
prevailed that the fund for the relief
of the suffering childran in Europe
had been closed. The Dispatch is
in receipt of letter from Mr.. 0. B.
Taylor, State Treasurer at Jackson,
stating that the fund is still open and
that all monies would be received, ac-
knowledged and forwarded to the pro-
per authorities.
The Dispatch this morning makes
a belated acknowledgement Of sub
stantial contribution from the Bethel

During the past week several part
les have inquired about the fund. The

acknowledge contributions to the
cause as long as the fund remains

BAN PUT ON
RUBBISH CAN
ON STREETS
Unsightly Cans Must Be Kept Just
Inside Back Yard Where White
Wings Will Get Them.

The civic committee Of the Woman's
Club has launched sustained cam
paign for cleaner city in cooperation
with the city officials. Following is
statement issued by the committee
1t is generally conceded that one
of the greatest blots on the beauty of
our town is the unsightly piling of
rubbish, which is allowed to stand,
day after day, on our streets. Have
you not often been mortified, when
showing strangers over the city, al
these rubbish heaps and broken-down
barrels, boxes, and tin cans used as
containers?
Now the city is making it possible
for us to do away entirely with these
eye-sores. But to secure this result
the householder must cooperate. AT
the solicitation of the civic committee
of the Woman's Club, the city off
cials have agreed to allow the drivers
of garbage carts to go just inside the
back gate for rubbish collections, and
have arranged that such collections
are to be, made as follows:
Ward 1, Monday; Ward 2, Tues
day; Ward 8, Wednesday; Ward a.
Thursday; Ward 5, Friday; Ward G.
Saturday. -
If you will observe the following
points, it will help greatly toward
the end desired:
Burn everything possible, and
so tighten labor Of drivers and
save expense for city.
Il Place leaves, grass cuttings
and similar refuse on a pile in
your garden for fertilizer.
Put remaining rubbish in con-
taincr just inside back gate for
wagons. And remember, they
start early; so do II the day be-
fore you expect collection to be
made.
Let's make our city beautiful.

Free Clinic Will Be Closed Unless

Maintenance Doing Great Work

present time about $50 patients suffer-
ing with Gonorrhea and Syphilis un-
,pelled, should the Clinic cease opera
der going treatment who will be COM
tions, to 60 without furthur treatment
owing to the fact that they are not
able to undergo treatment elsewhere.
There have been 235 persons suffer

fering with other Venereal Diseases
admitted to the Clinic for treatment.
OF this number 1913 cases Of Syphilis
and 81 other venereal Diseases have
been discharged as cured from the
Clinic.
The Clinic has been instrumental in
aiding the Sanitary work Of this city,
as great many persons employed by
Hotels, Restaurants and other public
places where foods are handled were
examined for Venereal Diseases at
the Clinic, and about 30 persons thus
employed were found to be infected
with Venereal Disease IN some form
and were given treatment.
1t is hoped that the Clinic will be
continued here, there is no question
as to the benefits the entire county
has received and if it is discontinued
at this time the people will realize the
need of Clinic of this nature mora
than ever before.

This Clinic is operated on fifty

State Board of Health has already
