FIGHTIHG THE PESFS W. L. BtCKXKR COMPLAINS OK C VKtXliSS JROWKRS. Says it Is Unjust for Fruit Cironersi to Full to Spruy. Where Neighbors Are Spraying All Around Them Milton Fruit Connimmls lmvr lrtcrs Than It Should llccansr It Conic From an Infected District. "It Is unjust to those fruit growers who spray their orchards to permit others in the same neighborhood to neglect this duty and harbor million of pets to scatte rover the adjacent count iy, and damage every orchard in leach of them." said W. L. Iluck- ner of Freewater. "The law should be enforced and every man In the country should he compelled to spray his trees right now. while the pests can be reached. There are many orchnrdists In the Milton and Freewater districts who keep clean orchurds and grow prac tically, ciean rruit, nut there are neighbors all around them who vio late the law, refuse to spray, and thus lower the general standard of the fruit produced in that district. "It Is not costly to spray for the aphis and scale. I have just sprayed 500 young trees and the cost of the material was not more than 115. The work Is simple and any man can do It. who will exercise care und com mon sense and the law should be en' forced. "We are shipping our fruit to Wiillu Wallu. where It does not com mand a fair price, because It comes from an Infected district. Buyers come into our orchards and pick out a few boxes of the best grades, and our wormy, pest-rldden fruit Is left on our hands, unfit for use and a disgrace to the state. "I hope to see the law strictly en forced next spring. Many of our or chardlsts take pride In their orchards and take especial pride , In growing clean fruit, but what can we hope, where a neighbor next door refuses to spray, and allows the pests to ac cumulate In millions to be distributed over the orchards of neighbors who have spent money and time in ridding their orchards of the pests. "I have found a good formula to be as follows: 40 pounds of lime. 20 pounds of sulphur, and 1 pounds of salt, to 60 gallons of water. This so lution Is very strong, and will be ef fective. Right now is a good time to spray. The solution should be so strong as to color the trunks and limbs of the trees, and a good practice is found to be that of wrapping a cloth around the tree Just below the limbs. The pests. In crawling up the trunk of the tree will lodge under thlB cloth and can be killed easily. We are anxious to have the law I enforced and will co-operate with the horticultural commissioner at any and all times." HOTEL ARRIVALS. Hotel St. George. Miss Mlllus Cleveland. James S.

The Dalles Chronicle. The rapidly growing demand fdr a more wholesome and decent paper currency constitutes one manifesta tion of the healthful tendencies of the times, ssys the Sentry, of Washing ton, D. C. To use the language of science, this Ik an "antiseptic age;" to use the language of everyday life, this Is an age of cleanliness. In the realms of pathology il is the era of germ dis covery and annihilation; in domestic affairs it is an era of soup and wnter, plentifully provided und industrious ly applied. To checkmate the microbe has been the diligent endeavor of modem medicine and surgery; to promote that virtue which Is Justly extolled as next In rank to Godliness hus been nuepred as an unmistakable tribute to advancing civilization. It strikes the Sentry as n self-evident satire on this condition of things that our government permits the peo ple throughout seven-eighths of the entire republic to handle paper cur. rency In small denominations thut Is disreputable in its dirt and recog. nizen as a menace to the public health as well as a disgrace to the nation whose seal of verification and guaranty 11 bears. PiMi-Chevk System a Remedy. J nere mignt be some shadow of excuse for this stale of things If there were no remedy. Hut there is a rem edy. Tlie proposed post-check cur rency would provide udequute means for the return and reissue of these small bills several tlmeB every year, not only without expense to the gov ernment, but yielding a profit, and extending to tlie remotest points of the nation its beneficial effects. This post-check money system, It will be ramumhered, provides thut every one, two und five dollar bill shall have on its face blank spaces to be written In when the holder de sires to send by mutt in Hen of slumps, coins, nud small money or ders now employed for that purpose. A purti r the scheme Is that a bill one,, used as check is immediately retired from clrculntlon. destroyed as mutilated currency, and reissued. This keeps a constant flow of crisp, new bills from the press to tlie bauds of the people. Thus while the post-cheek would furnish, an Ideal' medium for small remittances, and fur that rettson alone Is worthy of adoption, a larger aspect of the case, and perhaps an even greater benefit is found In this Inci dental function of constant, renewal or tne small mils and clean money kept In circulation' throughout the country, Tmloubtsdly, disease htrks in dirty bills, where tempting nests for microbes are found. A medical Journal tells us that the sponge used In a bank was analysed and found to be swarming with microbes of various deadly diseases. Few of our handles of bank nates would pass muster at quarantine. All Classes Affected. All classes are affected. The sur geon who carefully sterlliies his lan cet and uses all manner of antiseptic precautions In performing an opera tion, takes his pay In filthy paper, which affords an excellent "culture" for deadly germs. The most refined woman who has carried personal cleanliness to the extreme limit, fum bles louthsome bills in her dainty hands even holds them in her teeth! Thus health and decency combine to denounce the filth our currency carries. The difference between crumpled, dirty bill and a fresh clean one Is precisely the difference be tween soiled and fresh linen. If there were no other reason "for the post check, this would suffice, but there are many more. Clean money will be an Incidental, but most grateful boon It cunnot come too soon to suit a peo ple whose Instinct for cleanliness cries out vehemently for this needed reform. And the Inventor of this many sided scheme of public utility has not only assigned his patents to the gov ernment without asking any recom pense, but he has - expended many thousands of dollars in legitimate agitation for the adoption of the In vention without hope of reward. The principal enemy to its adop tion .has been Ellis H. Roberts of the 'lilted States treasury, principally on the ground that it would cause con siderable change in the rut-like, tire some and ancient routine work In his office, apparently losing sight of the needs and demands of the people tur clean and convenient money, and that the change would effect an annual saving to the government of uosrards of $500,000. as reported by the auai tor having charge of the money-erder vouchers. 1 T in LOOK sTIUlii at the matter and ttirj agree that It li not i wearing G LAKE-1 if there u the lent lug that you should il To make certain, ito HAVE YOIH EIJ5 The employment of strumenta by a graJfl makes the twt cootli prove that yon ihouM wear glaoKO.
