A man who bought a new suit of clothes yesterday at one of the estab liiments that sells a large quantity of ready-made clothing discovered that the trousers of the suit contained an extra pocket which aroused his curios ity. It was small, about the size of a watch pocket, and opened on the in side of the right hand trousers pocket. making it invisible as far as outward appearance went. At the top of the little pocket there was stiff material which kept it closed, so that on put ting one's hand in the large pocket the little one would not be found unless its presence was known. "Something new, isn't it?" the cus tomer asked the salesman. "Yes, that's come into style since the war creates a shortage of loose change," was the reply. "A person making a hurried search through the pockets for pin money has no luck at all when the owner of the suit uses this pocket-unless she hears some thing jingle. Best plan is to wrap your change up in a dollar bill." The customer paid for the suit and left orders for the clothes to be de livered to him at a bachelor apartment house ptown.-New York Times.

The ever-ready wit of Winston Churchill has greatly enhanced his popularity on the public platform. And his ability is shown in his dealing with interrupters, rude and otherwise. On one occasion, when addressing a large public meeting, he was frequent ly disturbed by a man shouting "'Liar! liar!" Mr. Churchfll bore wfith him for a time, but eventually broke off his speech to re.mark, in the gentlest accents: 'If th'e gentleeman at the back of the Lall h0o is so anxious that this audie.nce -l.ould know his name will write it down on a slip of paper and hand it to the chairnman. instead of bawling it at the top of his voice, he would save himself a lot of trouble." Such a reprimand was too much for the interrupter. who made a hasty eit Ilorticultural Points BORDEAUX INJURY OF FRUIT M1-,,- of Troub'e M.'y fe A~oided If er Attention Is C ven to Cer Lain Important Factors.

Much of the injury from bordeaux may be alvoided if proper attention is given certain factors which have more or less to do with ith is occurrence. Too strong bordeaux lshould not be applied -a 3-3:-50 mixture is recommended. The lime should be of good quality and approximately equal parts of lime and copper sulphate should be used. Never pour concentrated solutions together-equal and full dilution of the milk of lime and copper solutions should be made before mixing. Cover the fruit and foiage with a fine mist, but do not apply sufficient mixture to cause the trees to drip. Do not spray during rainy, foggy or damp weather. Study susceptibility of varieties. Some varieties of apples are almost immune from bordeaux injury, and others are injured but slightly, while some other varieties are badly injured. Those varieties which are known to be sus ceptible to this injury should not be sprayed with bordeaux mixture after the leaves begin to unfold. ag Spotting of the leaves is closely the associated with the russeting of the ad fruit by spray. However, a study of Spray Injury on Leaves. this trouble extending over severs! )years at the Maine station, shows that leaf spot, in that section, at least, is by no means confined to that caused by th' use of sprays, as some uagostm diseases may cause leaf-spot on sprayed and unsprayed trees. In many sections of the country, Missouri. New York, Arkansas. Or gon. New Hampshire, reports indicate that no injury is sustained by the use of self-boiled, home-cooked lime-eul phur spray. In some other states Ia Jury from this source has been found However, there is every reason to be lieve that it may be used on the mors tender varieties with much less dat ger of injury than with bordeaux mix ture. It is probable that the com bined use of the two would yield the more satisfactory results. That is, for eet the susceptible varieties, use bordeaux ion mixture for the first spraying. before the leaves unfold, and follow this with lime-sulphur for the later spray Ings.
