Wisconsin farmers are showing a
keen interest In bettering the produc-
ton of the home apple orchards.
The story of the county fruit clean
ups now going on in the Badger state
reads like a romance. This is the sec
ond year for this movement, and its
popularity Is already spreading
throughout the state. Here is what
happens in a county organizing to
eradicate orchard pests:
During the winter months the coun-
ty agents round up half dozen COM
munities "raring TO go' on this propo-

sin, and this fruit specialist schedules
few big meetings in the county. The
meetings are advertised in the local
papers, and often as many as hun
Gred farmers are in attendance to lis
ten to general talk on the care of
the orchard.
The next step is to hold pruning
demonstrations in each community
wanting to organize "spray ring"
The demonstrations are attended by
upwards of fifty to one hundred men,
many of whom bring their own saws
and pruning shears. These men climb
up into the trees, and Mr.. Clifford
keeps them busy until the orchard is

from the driest season in 20 years.
This condition put the harvest season
ten days earlier than usual to escape
the hazard of frost.
Observations made by the inspec. II
on new boys in the northern part OF
the state show that these sanded,
drained, ana properly handled cram
berry areas have better and cleaner
crops. Reports from other large cram
berry regions throughout the states
show that the national crop is below

1 Scapa Flow or had been incorporated in the naves of the victorious powers. The war aviation service was sup pressed. Finally, the formidable ring of alliances which Germany had es- tablished round herself and for/her own ends collapsed.
 Prior to 1914 Germany had consti- tuted that Mitte1europa which from the Baltic to the Mediterranean, by the exploitation of Austria Hungary. Bulgaria and Turkey, had placed 150.- 000,0o0 men under Hohenzollern au- thority. The gateway to the east was
 opened via the Bagdad railroad.
 Even Italy followed along.
 Germany's Post-war Plight In 1919 Germany found herself
 alone. Italy had heroically ranged herself beside the allies. Austria Hungary had collapsed. From this strange ama1gamation of peoples
 there emerged Czechoslovakia and
 Jugoslavia. Poland was reborn. Tur- key and Bulgaria had gone down in defeat. Article so of the treaty of Versailles forbade Germany to rein- force herself by drawing on Austria. Germany had thus been considerably diminished and isolated. Young races, full of ardent vitality, acted as sem tinels on her frontiers The triple al- liance had seen it's day. Mitteleuropa had vanished
 Confronted by this bankruptcy and annihilation and displaying a daring and effrontery which might we'll serve as lesson to her conquerors, , Germany, without despairing single day, set about reconstituting her vio- lent domination of formerly. Perhaps she didn't recommence her naval ac- tivity. The building and sTrming of fleet does not lend itself to ca
 mouflage and concealment. For Ger many to have laid down cruisers and submarines she would have had to do so under the very nose of England and America. And neither the for mer nor the latter was inclined to all low the empire of the seas, placed in their hands by Scapa and Washing ton, to slip from them.
 Army Came to Life Again But it was not the same story with land armament and power. The treaty
 of Versailles obliged Germany:
 CD To deliver up her war material by March 10, 1920.
 CD To reduce her army to 200, 1000 men by April 10, 1920, and to have but 100 900 men under arms by June
 lG of that year. Germany hal no other idea save to gain time and to escape executing the treaty, From the beginning of 1920 she asked for
 postponement. AS the navy was not concerned, she was accorded them. San Reno tApril, 1920), Spa (July, I1920), Paris (January, 192D, London
 (May, 1921), Paris CAugust, 192D, were but stages on the road to Ger man recovery. No sanctions were taken. There was no attempt to hold her to account.
 The three clauses of May, March. April and June, 1920. were simply allowed to go by entirely >unexecuted.
 One day Duisburg. Ruhrort, Dussel- dorf and even Frankfort were occu- pied on the impulse. We left the next day without having obtained anything. The German army of war may have vanished. But we saw it gradually come to life again under

THE CIRCLE" WITH BRILLIANT CAST, IS
 WELL ACTED DRAMA

It is seldom indeed such a brilliant the company which presented "The Circle" at the Jefferson theatre last night Norman Hackett, Charlotte Walker Henry E. Dixey, Wilton I.ackaye and Amelia Bingham are ar lists of the first rank who have long since won cemmanding position on the American stage. With this wealth of talent. 1t was to have been. expect ed that the performance w. Somerset Maugham's comedy would be no- table for it's excellence. No better acted drama has ever been seen on the local stage and if the material was somewhat slender, the artistry of the company made every line and sit uaticn count.
 "The Circle" is drama of English life in which the mistake of man and woman who sacrificed every thing for an Illicit love, is repeated by younger couple, despite the ex- ample before them of two lives that have been shipwrecked. The play is typical of MT. Maugham's work as a dramatist It is light and witty and introduces well-drawn types from English society. During two acts the note Is distinctly worldly and frivo- lous.
 In the last act 1t appears for time that duty will triumph over incllna tion and the nobility of self-sacrifiee will prove superior to passion, but in7 the end the young wife and her lover elope while their elders laugh cynically over the same, sorid farce which they played years before. Even they had their better moments and tried to prevent the wife from leaving her husband the son of the woman, who lays bare her own shame and humiliation to save her daughterAin-law from similar ex- perienee, but their good resolutions don't last long and they let the lovers go away almost with a blessing.
 Norman Hackett played Arnold Champion Cheney. young member of Parliament whose interest in poii- tics and period furniture causes him to lose his wife. He gave realistic portrayal f somewhat stodgy. self eentered Englishman. Miss Walker was the wife. Elizabeth who throws away wealth and social position ;e go with the man she loves Her beau ty and histrionic ability were admir- ably displayed in this role. Henry F. Dixey's impersonation of Give Cham pion- Cheney a disillusie ned man of the world, was worthy of this sterling actor and Wilton Lackaye as Lord Porteous gave a finely humorous DOT trayal of the man who had wronged his best friend by stealing his wife and had lived tC repent it.
 Miss Bingham was Catherine Champ pfon Cheney. who paid the price of her youthful indiscretion and by

Magazines Relating to Coal and Steel Industries in Steady Demand--Long
 List on File

Of the many trade journals that the Birmingham public library keeps on file in the reference room at the central library, The Iron Age, The Iron Trade Review and The Manu- facturers' Record are the most popu- lar.
 Many who read these magazines aN such steady readers after the progress of their business that the librarians in the reference room know who they are and almost the exact hour of each day during which to expect them.
 Though these three magazines are by far the most frequently used, there are many others related to the steel and the coal industries. There are none of them that are not used to some extent, of course. But among them these are the most popular The Foundry, The Blast Furnace ana Steel Plant and Forging and Heat Treating. Of all these. and or all other trade journals, The Manutac- turers' Record Is the most enthusiasts tic exponent of southern progress. It Is edited by Richard H. Edmends-
 Several thousand dollars are spent each year in the reference room or the library Much or it goes to pay for magazine and newspaper sup striptions. Hundreds of magazines and newspapers are always on the

 Then. again, the trade journals. The entire list would likely fill whole page. As Birmingham is an Nndustrial city and depends upon the iron. coal and steel industries for It's existence. no citizen would be vast ing time if he or she spent a few hours each month reading some trade journal that dealt with one or all o1 these industries. Many may be found that are not so technical, but that all might understand them.
 Among the list of trade journals that deal with the iron, steel and coal industries are the following; The Iron Age, the Iron Trade Review The Manufacturers Record, Ihe Foundry. The Blast. Furnace anu Steel Plant, Forging and Heat Treat ing, The Chemical and Metaliurgicai Engineering.

 The peace of Versailles was intend ed to be a peace of justice. Neither France nor Great Britain demanded other than reparation for the wrong done by Germany during 50 years of war or of peace. The United States appeared at Versailles holding aloft the torch of right and of an ideal. Night: The 14 points, inspired by the war aims of the allies of 1917, i'm posing limits on victory and insuring a peace of reason. The ideal: The magnificent dream of the League of Nations.
 The allies seated themselves at the conference table firmly resolved to substitute the rule of right for the rule of force. And once the treaty had been signed, none among tue allies sought to alter it's character by going after additional advantages. Rather the contrary occurred.
 Two years had not elapsed from the Armistice before the allies, forget ting what they had suffered and the common danger. and thoroughly ab- sorbed in their work of peace and of reconstruction, permitted Germany to go back upon her signature, to pull herself together and to prepare new schemes directed against the peace of the world. For imperialist Germany, born co force and counting upon force to perfect her work of hegemony- Germany in peace and defeat had re- maiaad a nation of force. The war taught her nothing.
 The treaty of Versailles deprived Germany of it's means of fighting:
 Gal Those provinces where her mili- tary and industrial strength sfound their surest roots,
 (b) Germany's military frontier was fixed 30 kilometres east of the Rhine, rendering it impossible for her to mobilize other than between the Elbe and the Weser
 Co The treaty deprived Germany of her army, of her general staff, of her war schools.
 (d) Germany's effeetives were re- duced to 100000 men and military service was aholished; the allies, fur thermore, had the right to exercise 8 military control in the empire.
