titled to the office. 1t was urged
upon me that the contest was not
solely an issue beween myself and
Mr.. Snow, but was matter in
which the voters who supported me
were interested. For that reason
instituted contest proceedings.
Il am informed that the condition
of the ballot box of the Second Elec-
tion District shows by inspection
that after it was delivered by the
election officers to and while in pos
session of the former Republican
Sheriff Massey the seal was broken
and the tape around the box cut or
broken i'll two places and tied to-
gether again, proving cOnclusively
that the box had been tampered with
after it left the election officers and
came into the possession of said
sheriff. This box when it was before
the Board of Canvass showed the
same condition as it was when it
left the election officers.
MY attorney advised Sheriff Mas
sey who had custody of the box to
put it in the Farmers Bank so that
it would not be further molested.
There was another reason for plac-
ing the box in the custody of the
bank, namely that should the box
come into the possession of any per-
son who ran on the same ticket with
me, it could not under the existing
law be used as evidence in the con-
test. Sheriff Smith, the incoming
sheriff, who ran with me on the
Democratic ticket under the law
would automatically come into pos
session of the box. Sheriff Massey
these conditions, put the |
box in the Farmers Bank. For some !
reason the box was taken from the |
bnak by Sheriff Massey just previ- |
Gus to the expiration of his term of .
office and placed it with other ballot |
boxes in the basement of the Court /
House so that it with the other bal
lot boxes came into the posse ssion
Of Sheriff Smith. Under the law the
box, therefore cannot be used as evil
1ence in my contest.
Il would have liked the box to
have been opene dand the result of

so that the will of the majority of I

might have been ascertained.

The high cost of commercially

There are but few home gardens

ologist, found that they start to dis
charge their spores during the
period when the new vine growth is
about one-half inch in length, re-
sulting to the necessity of growers
keeping the new wood completely
covered with the Bordeaux spray to
prevent a possible reinfectiOn from
this source.
The second spray, which is known
as the clusterbreak, should be appli-
ed when the new shoots are from
to G inches long, or about two weeks
after the delayed dormant spray. For
this application, as well as for the
re-blossom, after blossom, and 10
day sprays, the growers are advised
to use the 6-12-100 formula Bor-
deauX mixture which calls for
pounds of bluestOne and II pounds
of lime to each 100 gallons of water
Starting with the pre- blossom spray,
pounds of powdered arsenate of
lead and pint of fish oil should be
added to each 100 gallons of BOr-
deauX for the control of the grape
berry moth, leaf-folder, root worm
and rose bug. In addition to these
pint of nicotine sulphate
should be added to each 100 gallons
of spray in the Today application as
Il control measure for the leaf-hop-
pers which in some seasons are very
in many of the vine
yards.

receiving this spray service are re-

There will be motion considered

safe investments now cannot be
made paying over five or five and

There are three banks in Whining

It's old sweet song of bud and
blossom rife;
Today the birds are singing i'll the

And in the lane the tulips wake

BY orchards where of old we used to
wander
And watch the Aprils slowly turn
to May
In drifting apple bloom, | stand and
ponder
That Spring should come and you
be gone away.

charm and mental equipment as any
other girl, but have not learned how
to sell yourself.
1t is said that in every sale made,
the salesman sells two things in
stead of one-his article, and him
self. There are five steps to be taken
in every sale. First, you must at
tract the attention of your prospec-
tive buyer. Next, you must arouse
his interest, awaken his desire, win
his confidence, and satisfy his judg-
ment.
In a love affair, the young woman
who sets out to win the heart of a
young man takes him through ex-
actly the same processes. In other
words, she sells him herself.
Attract his attention through a
neat, orderly, girlish appearance
Arouse his interest by asking him an
intelligent question about himself
Awaken his desire by giving him
sympathetic appreciation. Win his
confidence by the integrity of your
character. And satisfy his judg-
ment by your intelligent under
standing of his needs, physical,
mental, and financial.

Interest in
Winter Girl
Camp Gains

Definite interest in winter camp-
ing among Girl Scouts is shown by
tpe weekend hikes being made to
camp Dellwood, local Girl Scout
camp, and study of various phases
OF winter camping.
The same trend toward winter
camping is being exhibited by
troops all over the country.
There have been troops Of Scouts
at Camp Andree, national camp at
Briarwood, N. Y, every weekend
since thu summer closed in August,
and reservations have been made
through the first of next year.
Camp Andree was kept open last
winter as an experiment, and proved
TO be a success, according to Mrs.
Curtis B. Dali, chairman of the
camp committee, that it is being
promoted this year.
Mrs. Dali is the daughter of Gov
ernor and Mrs. Franklin D. Roose-
welt.
At Camp Dellwood there are ia
cilities for coasting hiking, nature
trails, signaling and fire building.
An experiment in winter camp
ing also will be introduced next
month at Camp Edith Macy, ma
tional training camp for Girl Scout
leaders, who would like to combine
out-of-door activities and winter
sports with a training course in
ifrOOr Y1nanaQernpnt
Registration is restricted to
Scouts and leaders who have had
at feast two weeks of camping ex-
perience. First period begins
