Fruit prospects for Wayne county appear to be a little ahead of the average this year, notwithstanding the ererity of the early part of the winter. The late fall kept the trees growing almost until cold weather set in, and at that time there appeared to be great danger of .winter killing the fruit, but the wood ripened up hard and now the season's crops depends upon the care taken of the tree this spring. First examine your trees to see if there are any dead limbs on them, any crossed limbs or any water sprouts. See if the sunlight and the ar can get to all parts freely. See if one side is heavier than the other. If you find any of these defects they should be reme died. Observe Trees Closely. By a close observation and by keep ing these points in mind you will have a very good foundation to begin working on. Next the trees should be sprayed with a "acale-a-cide" which may be purchased at any drug store. Be sure to put it on strong enough as' it will not Injure the tree while too weak a solution is only a waste of time and material. With a high pressure pump thoroughly coat every part of the tree. This must be done before the buds begin to start. Spray for the coddling moth just before the beds begin to open and just after the blossoms fall. In performing this work the word thoroughness can not be impressed too deeply on th emlnd for on it depends the success, of the greater part of the season. A great deal more might be said on this, but if the reader wants to know more I would advise him to write to his experiment station. . Proper Treatment for Biliousness. For a long time Miss Lula Skelton, Churchville, N. Y., was bilious and had sick headache and dizzy spells. Chamberlain's Tablets were the only thing that gave her permanent relief. Obtainable everywhere. adv. FARMER OFFERS HOG FOR WIFE MOUNTAIN HOME, Ark., March 4.

The editor, believing in the pulling power of his advertising columns accepted the offer on the spot. ACREAGE OF WHEAT INCREASES IN U. S, 11.1 Per Cent Additional Sown Last Fall to Offset Shortage. The United States is not threatened witi a shortage of foodstuffs, according to figures of the department of agriculture. There are about 145,000,000 bu. of wheat until the appearance of new crop, July 1. There was an increase of 11.1 per cent, or over 4,000,000 acres in wheat acreage sown last fall. But suppose a shortage in wheat should develop in the next three months, what would be the situation? There is a great surplus of other food crops in the United States, a number of which could be used as substitutes. Wheat does not constitute more than 12 per cent of the normal diet, about the same as poultry and eggs. Meat and dairy products constitute 48 per cent; vegetables 11 per cent, fruit, nuts, sugar, fish and other items the remaining 19 per cent. There are larger supplies of corn and other grains, meat animals, dairy products, potatoes and fruit at the opening of 1915 than for many years. TWO-LEGGED HOG STARTS CAREER MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., March 4 "Two-legged pigs" were not infrequent ly mentioned in the nursery days when little Willie or little Mary showed, too much of the porcine propensity along about mealtime, but the real two-legged porker now makes its bow. "It's bow" is used advisedly, for Rosy Is destined to be an actress. She Is a real pig and has only one pair of legs, and for that reason her owner thinks she ought to do something more in this world than make sausages and pork chops. Her owner will put her on the stage. BUYS 1,600 BUSHELS. ECONOMY. Ind.,- March 4. Allie Weyl bought 1,600 bushels of corn from Marsh Lindsey.

Bavis referred to Mr. Gormon as "one of the severest critics this administration has had," Mrs. Ashenfelder, who lives on Fort Wayne avenue, poured a telling broadside into the board. Woman Tells Story. "My husband died two years ago, leaving my daughter and myself without anything except a smau piece of property on the west side," she said. Her face was red and her eyes snapped fire. "This we sold and purchased the property we now live in on Fort Wayne avenue. This is mortgaged for $2,000. We live by renting rooms and doing sewing. We have no money to pay for a street assessment and if the improvement is made we will lose our home. If we lose our home the citizens should do with this board what they did in another city, drive you out of office. You are like a lotj of boys. You start a fuss and now you want to ! put the whole thing up to council to get out of trouble. You ought to be men enough to settle these matters yourself. I can't speak what I think of you. One thing is sure, you will never get back again after your terms are out." Her words were greeted with a round of applause on the part of the room full of remonstrators. Bavis Makes Amends. President Bavis stated that her case was one of the frequent similar tragedies encountered by the board when public improvements were provided. "The hardest duty we have to perform is to order improvements when by doing so we know we will inflict hardships on worthy people, but we must respond always to what we believe is service to the best interests of the city as a whole," Mr. Bavis remarked very gravely, and he said he hoped Mrs. Ashenfelder would have no cause to complain that she had not been treated with every courtesy by the board. Mr. Gormon and other remonstrators argued that Fort Wayne avenue had only been recently macadamized and' that it would be folly to tear up one of the best streets of its kind in the city to provide brick paving. Mr. Bavis said this argument was what caus ed him to vote in favor of the motion made by Mr. McMinn to rescind the order for the paving of that street. Before Mrs. Ashenfelder and three other women who accompanied her, left the room, Mr. McMinn assured them that he had always been against the nroDosal to Dave Fort Wayne avejnue, which caused them to shake hands with him very cordially. Avenue Needs Repairs, Mr. Gormon said that all Fort Wayne avenue required was some repairing where the service companies had left ruts. He said the city could.

I can't help but recall the fact that the severest criticism this administration has had emanated from you by your constant complaints last year over the condition of the street on which you live, but now you say the street is one of the best In the city, and you oppose our effort permanently to Improve it," caustically remarked Mr. Bavis. Mr. Gormon said that his complaints had only been over holes left by the service companies and a-crossing in front of his home. Mr. Bavis then took occasion to that permanently improved streets oo viated the necessity of constantly mak Ing repairs, and for that reasons a program of permanent Improvements to put a stop to the waste of public funds for street repairs had been decided on. Opposes Board's Tyranny. Dr. Hopkins, a resident of North Fifth street, spoke at great length against the "tyrannical" proposal to Dave that street He denied that per manent improvements enhanced prop erty values, saying that he couia noi sell property he owned now for 40 cents on the dollar. He said that It was nnlufit to add burdens to the 31 per cent of the citizens who actually pay taxes and pay for public improve ments. He thought tne money coum be better spent, painting houses and renairine roofs. He read a list of ques tions, all of which had been previously exnlained. and concluded by saying he did not believe in "cheers for tyrants, but In tears for the tyranized. J. F. Rowlett opposed the paving of south Fifth street, because it was macadamized only eighteen months ago. The managements of two large bakeries on that street, however, were in favor of a permanent improvement, as they say the street Is in a horrible condition the year rouna. Asks Postponement. Mrs. Hurley in opposing the paving of North Slrth street, declared she did not have another dollar to pay out for public improvements. She said she was "improvement poor," and that if the street was made the city would have to take her property away from her. "I leave this matter now with you and your God who gave you life," she concluded, and left the room cryins. nr m. C. Bennam saia urn no uelieved in brick pavements, but in the case of Sixth street he would like to have its paving postponed thirty or fnrtv vears. The board received a petition for cement curbs, gutters and sidewalks on south West Seventh from Main street to National avenue. DIETZ EXPECTS (Continued from Page One.) ine in. This should have some bear ine on the oercent of the assessment, while it can not under the state laws as they are at present. For instance, in one case, a $5,000 stock is bringing the owner a 50 per cent profit a year. In another case, a man may have been barely able to produce a 10 per cent profit. One man is making $2,500 a year, and the other is making $500 a year, and both, under the application of the Btate taxation laws, will pay taxes on $3,000, or 60 per cent of the value of their stock. This leads to the question of whether stock in such cases should not be figured at the difference between its actual cost to the dealer and the sellCOMB SAGE TEA IN HAIR TO DARKEN IT Grandma Kept Her Locks Dark, Glossy, Thick With a Mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur. The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grandmother's treatment, and folks are again using it to keep their hair a good, even color, which is quite sensible, as we are living in an age when a youthful appearance is of the greatest advantage. Nowadays, though, we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sago and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the read-to-use product called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" for about 50 cents a bottle. It is very popular because nobody can discover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is that besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also produces that soft lustre and appearance of abundance which is so attractive; besides, prevents dandruff, itching scalp and falling hair.

Bring Different Basle. Corporations in Richmond have been brought to a different basis of assessment under Mr. Diets in the years he has had them in charge. He said be expects to bring corporation assessments all over the county to as near 60 per cent as possible this year. "This will not be accomplished by raising all of them 5 per cent" Mr. Dietz said. "I hope this mistaken idea does not become pievalent. I many not raise some of them, while I may increase others 10 or 15 per cent. I have some fair ones in every line ot business, and this gives me the figures by which I can bring all assessemnts of corporations on a basis of equalization. "1 am putting out assessment sheets at the various corporations now. It would be impossible for me to invoice each one, so I let the owners put in their own figures and then I go over them and insert what I believe is fair.

County Assessor Mathews said today that the vote of the assessors to raise real estate assessments 5 per cent was not to be considered binding by the assessors, who will use their own judgment in raising the assessments. "The assessors just wanted to get a general figure," Mr. Mathews said. '1 wanted this placed at 10 per cent. Considering the fact that these assessments must stand for four years, I believe an assessment even higher than 10 per cent Increase, would not be unjust.

"Handing out kisses to men who have no right, to ask for them Is not prudish it's Indiscreet,'' says a wonderful line in Jack Lait's New Yoork and Chicago success, "Help Wanted," which comes to the Gennett theatre on Friday, March 12, with the support of J having played thirty-nine weeks at the Cort theatre in Chicago. This is the! longest run ever captured by any success in Chicago, and this fact alone is making ' Help Wanted" the most talked about attraction on the road this season. all the other things we know are fair in taxation, but we do not like to see Wayne county stand alone in the state. The higher we raise our assessments here, the more money goes to the state on state tax levies, and if other counties leave their assessments low and raise their local tax levies, it is a system far from state equalization."
