State inspection of every or
chard at least onco a year to pre
vent the start of infection is being
advocated 'by State Zoologist H. A.
Surface in talks with legislators
about tho rapidly growing State su
pervision work in fruit-growing dis
tricts. Dr. Surface is of the opinion
that the time Is at hand when It will
bo necessary to safeguard orchards
which aro operated by men who em
ploy scientific methods In keeping
down scale and other pests by pro
viding for Inspection of adjacent or
chards. It has been found that In
many instances orchards upon which
much money has been spent have
been Infected from neighboring or
chards whoso owners took no care of
trees. Tho Surface plan is to Inspect
all orchards at least onco a year and
to make removal of Infected trees
compulsory. He argues that so much
money is going into fruit-raising and
it is developing so rapidly that caro
must be taken. The present system
does not permit of inspections often
er than once In flvo years except
where orchards are directly under the
State eunervision. In mountain
counties annle growing is being re
vived and yet many instances or in
' fectlon from old orchards aro found.

and tho livestock sanitary officials
seom to havo been adjusted satisfac
torily, as Dr. W. S. Glraper, director
of the Division of Tuberculosis and
Milk Hygiene, sat with the cattle
men throughout tho sessions.

ment shall not exceed two-thlrda of

SENT HUSBAND DINNER
THROUGH PARCELS POST.
Pittsburg. Tho newly establish
ed parcel post played a part hero
that his sponsors little dreamed of
when they established tho now sys
tem. John B. Gourmond, of this city,
says tho parcel post Is alright, and
he bellves ho "ought to know."
John told how the parcel post had
saved him from the pangs of hun
ger and his 'devoted wife from
worry.
According to Gourmond, his wifo
packed a "big man's lunch" for him.
When he left his home for his place
of labor in a steel mill in a nearby
suburb, John carried with him what
ho believed was ills "full dinner
pall."
On reaching tho mill he was about
to place tho package containing his
lunch on the steam pipes to keep It
warm until the noon hour, when tho
wrapper attracted his attention.
Looking closer ho saw that it boro
pictures of holly leaves and berries.
Opening tho "lunch," John found
that ho carried two pairs of socks
and a pair of suspenders to work
with him.
A short time later foe was called
to the telephone by his wife, who
said: "John, I have heard of people
liking presents so well that they
took them to bed, but you did
better; you took your socks and
suspenders for lunch."
Gourmond did not appreciate tho.
joke, and replied, "I must plug away
without a bite all day."
"No, you won't," said the wife,
"go to the postoffice at noon and you
will get your lunch by parcel 'post."
Gourmond got Ms- lunch. Not
even a piece of pie in it was crushed.
Ho Advertised At Last.
There was a man In our town,
And he was wondrous wise;
Ho sworo (It was his policy)
He would not advertise.
But one sad day he advertised,
And thereby hangs a tale,
The ad. was set in quite small type
And headed " Sheriff's Sale."
"BUNTY PULLS THE STRINGS."
The theatrical rage of two conti
nents, "Bunty Pulls tho Strings,"
will be the attraction at the Lyrle
soon. Through the aid of the great
newspaper system of America, the
real successes, be It of the stage,
'books, or In fact any product of
merit, soon becomes known for their
real worth, and that was the case of
"Bunty Pulls the Strings." It en
tered New York practically unher
alded and entirely unknown, was
given a hearing, and the following
day, through the aid of the New
York dailies, "Bunty" was stamped
the greatest success of the season.
Before the end of a month theatre
goers through the country, even as
far as the Pacific Coa3t, were alive
to the fact that a new success had
been born.
"Bunty" Is different from all
other plays, and so aro the players,
Inasmuch as the story Is laid In tho
Highlands of Scotland, and the play
ers aro all natives and to the man
ner born. The play ltsolf is simple
and direct, and in its simplicity lies
its greatest charm.
