WASTED EFFORT

During a recent week three
pounds of free publicity and
propaganda came to the desk
of the managing editor of the
Fall River (Mass.) Herald
The contents of the bulk con-
signment run the gauntlet from
the promotion of the interests
of private business to further
ance of the national aims of a
foreign people.
The mail received by the He
raid for the week is a fair week
ly average for the country.
The value of the labor that
goes into this mass of material
cannot be estimated for the sal
airy stories of press agents are
beyond the dreams of the ordi-
nary newspaper man. What
ever that labor cost it is largely
wasted.
The greater waste, however,
is represented in the finished
product. Here is weekly pa
per waste of more" than three
tons a week that totals more
than 10000 tons a year and
has a value of more than
100000 a year. 1t costs
more than $4,000 a year to
send this CUFF through the
mails.
1t is a big price that the po-
tential advertisers are paying
for an occasional mention of
their product or cause, be-
cause it is only in rare instan-
ces that the envelopes are even
torn from the messages they
carry.
There is no greater waste in
merchandising, as applied to
both causes and manufactured
products today, than the mon
ey that is being poured into So
called free publicity. If spent
legitimately it would be suffi-
cient to change the opinion of
America. 1t is wasted effort
and we wonder how much long
er men of business and vision
are going to support it, that a
few newspaper trained men
shall have easy jobs.

PALE ORGANIZE is WELCOMED
Combinations, Including Lace, Are
Very Popular Among the
Handsome Gowns.

White organdle and cream batlste,
combined with lace, have become very
popular among the handsOmer gowns,
the New York Times finds. This may
be an indication, too, that style OF
this sort will carry over into winter.
But on the street and in all the smart
lunching places these days one is very
apt to see black crepe or a black
satin dress quite handsomely trimmed
with some OF this lingerie trimming
that the seasons thin and organdie
dresses have made popular. And, In
variably, along with the long, low
collars and the flouncy frills about the
Threats, there go wide cuffs or sleeve
ends to carry out the complete idea.
There is, for instance, the frilled
and plated organdie cuffs arranged
in three stiff tiers and held snugly
around the wrist with q black velvet
ribbon band and cut steel buckle. This
is a sparkling cuff trimming, If you
please, but it is only illustrative of
lengths 10 which the designers are
going in their effort TO supply touch
of daintiness TO some of the newer
black froclls.
Then there is q circular cuff, far
ing back and away from the hand, be-
ing confined by only the simplest and
narrowest sort of band, closely held
about the wrist. This particular cuff,
made OF white MORE, is worn in COM
bination with a peculiarly smart little
MORE waistcoat effect. But there are
other applied cuffs, made very much
on this principle and cut from stiff
white organdie. They have way Of
giving TO every motion of the arm a
certain grace of movement and line
that ii might lack entirely were the
sleeves constructed without this clev-
erly designed addition in the way Of
q cuff.
II is evident that all Of the white
sleeve additions are verging very
closely to the picturesque. There is
nothing about them TO be called sim
pie or durable, but they do add charm
TO the gown, and on that promise
they should be accepted with all due
accord and enthusiasm.

Rodents Cause Big
Fruit Tree Damage

That mice and rabbits are often the
cause Of serious damage TO young
fruit trees, gnawing the bark TO such
an extent that the trees die or be-
come greatly weakened, is the warn
ing sent out by Prof. r. +. Loree, Of
the Michigan Agricultural College
horticultural department.
While some trees which are girdled
in this way can be saved by properly
done bridge grating early in the
spring before growth starts, the in
jury with many is beneath the ground
and of such a nature that is not prac-
teal to attempt to save them, once
the rodents have been at work.
The only safe course is to protect
the trunks Of young trees during the
late fall and winter months when
there is any possibility Of injury from
mice and rabbits.
Galvanized wire screen, three or
four meshes to the inch, is recon-
mended for this purpose by the M.
A. c. horticultural department" says
Professor Loree. Protectors made
from this material are expensive, but
they will last for several years and
they do not need to be removed.
Wood veneer and building paper may
be used successfully, but such pro-
tectors must be removed each spring,
and replaced in the fall Heavy wrap
ping paper or even newspapers, when
well bound around the trunks Of the
young trees, will give protection for
season.
'As an extra precaution, grass and
weeds should be kept from growing
near trees, and all trash which will
serve as nesting place for mice
should be cleared away from the
trunks in the fall, for a distance of
foot or more in each direction.
"Mounding with soil to height of
about six inches around the base OF
the trees is sometimes practiced t.
prevent rodent injury, and is often
an advantage. The mounds should
be removed in the spring"
