WHY SET APPLE TREES NOW?

WHY SET APPLE TREES NOW
Because there are over so per cent
less apple trees now than there were
in 1910, according to the Washington
Bureau of reports. There are also
over so per cent less peach trees than
in 1910. What will be the result!
There is going to be scarcity OF
fruit in few years, therefore now is
a fine time to get into the game. We
have the biggest and incest block of
TWO YEAR old trees we bave ever
grown, including Black Ben, Ben
Davis, Gano, Staymens Winesap,
Grimes, King David, Jonathan, and
all the leading varieties. We also
have a block of one year old trees
that pleases all those who have in
spected it. This includes all the
standard varieties. We have about
10000 nice peach trees, also berry
plants, cherries, ernamentals and etc.

Love DUEL ENDS
IN DEATH OF TWO
Underworld Feud Is Barred in Death
of Two at Philadelphia This
Morning.

Philadelphia, May 2. Two men
were shot and killed early today in
what police believe was an under
world feud. Conflicting accounts of
the affair, which occurred in house
at 1925 Mellon street, are being in
vestigated.
Harry Singer, 35, who died in Il
hospital OF three bullet wounds, said
he had killed Buck" Bailey in pistol
duel, according to the police. Bailey
was shot five times. SINGERS story
was that the men had quarreled over
a woman, police said.
Another version was given by
Hyman Gold, arrested after the shoot
ing. He said Singer and Bailey were
shot by six men who drove to the
house in an automobile and began fir
ing wildly in the parlor.
Residents of the vicinity told police
they saw two automobiles, each con-
tanning about six men, stop at the
house a few minutes before the firing
was heard. The woman, named by
Singer as the cause of the shooting,
escaped in one Of these cars.

More than TwO.thirds the Amount
Necessary for Memorial Building
At State University Has
Now Been Raised.

Renewed efforts to secure subscrip
tons to the 100000 fund for the cree
ton of memorial building on the
campus Of Kentucky University al
Lexington in honor of Kentuckians
who lost their lives in the World War
will be carried on this week by the
flying squadron" of students and
campus workers, Herbert Graham,
campaign manager, said Monday.
The drive will not close until the
whole amount is raised, James c.
Wilson, state chairman, stated Satur-
day. Alumni of the university have
subscribed more than $4,000, and eff
forts will be made to double this
amount, Mr.. Graham said. Only few
reports from local committees have
been received, but indications are that
the amount already subscribed is past
the 100000 mark.
In Maysville the campaign is being
carried out with the aid of the school
children. Every student in the Mays
vile public schools has been asked to
raise one dollar toward the fund. This
money will be given the children by
their parents and friends.

motor car merchants that 1922 marks
a new condition for motor car manu-
featuring and merchandising.
I'VE meant by this that old hap
hazard methods will fail, that COM
petition will weed out the unworthy
and the unsound and that as never
before the business OF making and
selling automobiles will be on a basis
of the soundest and most sensible
economies.
I'VE have just passed through
two distinct and totally different
periods--one OF high prices. over
prosperity and reckless spending. and
one OF extreme depression. the latter
the natural result of the other. with
the return OF the buying habit and
the ability to buy, which we look for
this year. there win be no reckless
purchasing OF motor cars. Automo-
biles will be bought in large num-
bers, but they viii be purchased only
because they are good cars, worth
every dollar they cost.
"The American public is now most
interested in economy--that IS, they
demand better products at better
prices. They will make more care

Close students OF the automobile
business have noticed that each year
there is a steadily growing interest
in the mechanical features Of the
various cars. At the Pacific auto
show at San Francisco the interest
displayed in the various chassis
which were shown was greater this
year than ever before, and the same
tendency is evident in the big eastern
shows according to men who were at
New York and Chicago.
The answer is not hard to find"

more and more people are becoming
educated through experience as to
what is desirable and what is not de-

Birthday Of Cadillac
Occurs March Fifth

Mich. now the fourth largest city in
America
It was five years later that the
first great western emigration start
ed from the Atlantic sea-board TO
Detroit.
Cadillac stayed in that place only
long enough to see IL we'll established,
and then swung west and south into
the Aississippi valley. In 1910 he
was appointed governor OF Loulsi-
ana, the title carrying in those days
entire authority over the Mississippi
from its source to its mouth. 1t was
in 1913 that he established his first
rude hut, in the now well known city
of Natchez.
Grown old in the rigorous service
OF frontier life, honored and respect
ed both in America and in France, he
was recalled to his native country,
and later became governor OF Cas-
telsarrasin, where the died and was
buried in his own fortress.
Cadillac established a famous crest
IN America, a shield surmounted by
crown with seven points, represents
ing his various ancestors OF royal
blood. y The markings on the shield
stand for the fact that the bearers
of the crest have as their ideals: "To
attain prowess, purity, charity. rir-
tue and plenty: to look to the wings
OF virtue and merit; and TO be in
readiness to undergo the business OF
the public veal"
Among the many places and insti-
tutions, which have been named in
honor of Cadillac. Is the Cadillac Mo-
tor Car company, the largest single
manufacturer of quality cars IN the
world, with the factory at Detroit
now employing 1000 men.

March S is q red letter day for all
who have ever studied or heard about
one of Americas greatest pioneers,
for that date is the 264th anniver-
sary of Antoine de la Mothe Cadil-
lac's birth. q
Descending from the ancient roy
atty of France, Cadillac at the age OF
25 cast his lot with the new world,
and during his years of constructive
work in New France he was in turn
an adventurer, explorer founder of
Detroit, Mich; commandant of Mac
kinac, and governor OF Louisiana.
J Commissioned lieutenant in the
French army at the age of 10, he was
25 years old when he emigrated to
Acadia--the district later made fam
GUS by the poem "Evangeline." -Four
years afterward at Quebec he mar
ried French lady, a niece OF Francis
Guyon, one of the boldest Of Ameri
can french privateers. The next year
he was granted a huge tract Of land
in what is now the state OF Maine,
as well as the island OF Mount Desert,
whittier he moved at once.
Louis XIV. king of France, gave
Cadillac in 1859 the title of "Sieur de
Mount Desert" 1t was in that year
that Cadillac went to New York with
a French fleet. and, .afterward spent
several months in the French court,
where he gained steadily in favor
with the great king. At this time he
rendered a detailed report OF his ex-
plorations from the mouth Of the ST.
Lawrence river to Virginia.
Returning TO his beloved America,
Cadillac accepted the important posi-
ton of commandant of Mackinac, and
after many years of activity in
Canada, in 1901 he founded Detroit,
