bearer has been reported in the
Camden and Wyoming areas this
season, and the control recommen-
dations include spray consisting
of l gallon of summer oil and 1
pint of nicotine sulfate to 100 gal
Ions of water. This spray should
be applied when most of the eggs
have Matched, care being taken to
contact both sides of the leaves,
especially those in the top center
of the tree. Early varieties of
peaches soon will require spraying
or dusting with sulfur for the first
time for brown rot control, and the
first application should be made
soon after the fruit takes on a vel
low cast. From then on, applica-
tions should be made weekly until
the crop is harvested. The first
brown rot spray or dust for late
peaches should come around the
latter part of July, or the first of
August.

Armored Wood

A tree, intended for use as posts,
poles, sills and other farm construc-
ton work, can be rendered rotproof
and insectproof, if it is "embalmed"
while still alive. Saw notch en-
tirely around the tree, place a rub
Der collar below the notch and fill
it with a solution containing six
pounds of copper sulphate or zinc
chloride dissolved in three gallons
OF water. The upward movement of
the sap will carry the preserva-
tive from the notch to the topmost
branches within two weeks. When
the tree is cut, it is thoroughly sat-
urated with the preservative. Conf
fers can be treated any time of the
year except during freezing wealth
er, but are best preserved during
the active growing season.

Stockport. England. The necessary

single-deck bus. On the trial run in
the hilly country around MARBLE and
Mellor the bus travelled at the nor
NAL speed of bus using petroleum,
except that it was slightly slower on
the exceptionally steep grades. The
tests have been particularly encour-
aging because they promise new
source of consumption for Welsh
coal and because, with a war to
fight, Britain will have unlimited
supplies of power for home service.

PLAY AT KENTON CHURCH
Sir James Barrie's Quality Street
to Be Given Benefit of Church

Sir James Barrie's Quality
Street will be presented for the
benefit of Kenton Church in the
kenton School Auditorium, July 10
at 8 P. M. under the direction of
Mr.. and Mrs. M. G. Wiley. Crit
les agree that Barrie reached the
epltome of his simple greatness
at least in beauty of lines-in this
four-act play of the Napoleonic
Era. The scheme of the play is
laid in the beautiful blue and white
room of the Misses Susan and
Phoebe Throssel in Quality Street
in a little country town of Eng
land. For these two brove maiden
ladies' this room is a sanctuary
never profaned by the foot of man.
but is gathering place for the
other old maids Of Quality Street
especially the Misses Willoughby
and Miss Henrietta. Neverthe-
less this life is interrupted-partic-
ularly for Miss Phoebe-by the at
tention Of the dashing Mr.. Brown.
War, as it always does, takes it's
toll from all and with it goes most
OF the income of Miss Susan and
Miss Phoebe. To supplement their
income the two dear sisters open a
little school-"for genteel children
OF course" and Miss Phoebe dons
the old maids cap. The Corsican
ogre Is conquered. Mr.. Brown re-
turns as Captain Valentine Brown
and life is resumed on Quality
street, but with an added zest as
MISS Phoebe tumbles her curls out
OF her cap and becomes again the
charming girl of the past.

When the cat, which had gotten
its tail banged in a door, appeared.
it was none other than the yellow
Persian coon kitten which achiev-
ed brief fame by its sudden disap-
pearance from the Red Cross auc-
tion several weeks ago.
1t seems the kitten was picked
up on the street near Roe's Store,
where it had nearly caused an ac-
cident by running in front of a car.
Evidently, it escaped from the car
where it was placed pending its
auction.
Since the people who have it
have become very attached to the
kitten, it seems the best solution
to let them keep it in return for a
donation to the Red Cross Fund.

FOUR STATES BOOST
GRANTS FOR OLD AGE

Washington, ID. C. (LNS).-Four
states-Illinois, Kentucky, Mississippi
and Virginia, have increased their old
age pension maximums as a result of
action of their 1910 legislatures.
Topped by Illinois, which raised
pension" maximums from $50 to $40
a person per month, Kentucky and
Mississippi increased maximum grants
from SIS to $50, while Virginia struck
out provision in it's old age assist
ance act which had included any and
all income of the person aided in the
$20-a-month maximum grant.
A $30-a-month maximum in 26
states is the common provision. Four
other states allow $50 a month to
needy aged individuals, but provide
S45 to $50 for married couples. Ala
bama, another $30-state, allows a
maximum of $50 month to needy
aged veterans. A number of the
states include in their maximums any
private income of the individual.

age assistance. The states are Ar
kansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Montana,
New Mexico and New York. This
does not mean, however, that the aid
actually given is limitless; in fact, one
of these states makes the lowest
actual average grants in the country
The highest grant of state old age
assistance to individuals is specified
by Colorado, which with Alaska, sets
maximum of $45 month. Prior
to the Illinois increase, California

Duffy met with representatives Of the
three firms.
A wage conference was called for
the Rogge Hotel, GAINESVILLE, June II,
but the above named firms refused to
attend, stating through a New York
firm that they were going to question
the right of the Brotherhood to act
in the interests of their employees. The
employees Immediately let it be known
that the Brotherhood was their col
lective bargaining agent by calling a
strike. The men returned to work for
one day insuring the plants against
loss, but refused to enter the shops
again until assurance was given that
they would have the right to bargain
collectively.
After the meeting between Presi-
dent Duffy and Representatives of the
firm, the men returned under condi-
tions of the old contract which expired
June ! pending final results of the
June II conference which adjourned in
stalemate after three-day session.

Sanitary Locals
Want Conference
Believe The Manufacturers
Have Industry Just
About Stabilized

Perth Amboy, N. Local Union
No. 96's president, Steve Macy, who
is winding up his first term as head of
the local, spoke to the members con-
cerning the dissatisfaction Of various
members regarding the gains of the
local in the past six months. In his
talk he expressed the belief that most
members are dissatisfied with the SER
vice rendered at the conference with
the Fords Porcelain Works.
A letter from Local Union No. 102
was read regarding conference of all
sanitary locals. This proposition re-
ceived the unanimous approval of our
members and it is hoped that the Ex-
ecutive Board will see fit to call such
a meeting. 1t is our opinion that much
good could come from conference of
this sort, in view of the fact that the
sanitary industry has had fairly
steady work the past few years. We
believe that prices, working conditions
and methods of casting are matters
that should be taken in hand now, as
~ 10 iuleC aPPalcHO VIC oeliiiCe1I
manufacturers have this industry
pretty much to the point of stabiliza-
ton. Therefore, we should get busy
and try to obtain a set up whereby
settlements can be reached as they are
in the general ware.
1t was reported at the meeting some
casters insist upon dusting before time
in the bowl shop. 1t is hoped these
violators will assist in making thi:
shop a better place to work.-O. c.. SO
