We are not stating the amounts subscribed by each because- there are several matters that enter into the The finan ability and duty to pay. etal means of the individual, the re taras to be expected as well as the willingness to contribute. Some people have conscientious scruples against Sunday baseball and others may think it inadvisable under, local conditions. We must respect their right to determine these matters f#r themselves. The list is in the hands of T. W. Noble, secretory-treasurer of the as- ! sociation, and the Times will be glad to publish from time to time thel names of additional subscribers. 1 G. W.

For instance: If the season's ■ growth was from three to five feet, [cut off about one-third, but by all j means don't cut back into the hard ! wood. Eliminate all the lower branches on the trunk to the height of i six feet from the ground so that a per son can -Winr under it Paint all fresh made cuts with white lead to keep the ! moi s tur e out, —— Pruning, if it is needed, should be gin now, when it is perfectly safe. In case you have to cut targe branches, be sure and cover the wounds with white lead or bees wax. "To inspect the trunk is most im portant is it is the breeding place for insects. Cut out ail the decayed bark, in fact, give it a good scrubbing with [a atiff brush clear to the branches. 'Mix one-half pound of soap, one gal •• I ion hot water and two gallons of kero sene and apply this emulsion with a brush. This will kill all the pests and will not injure the tree. "Formula for emulsion for spraying the foliage later in the season is as follows: Mix 10 ounces of B lack Leaf No. 40 to 60 gallons of water, qdd two pounds of fish oil soap to this mixture. "Now, what is the cause of the trees splitting the bark and getting those sickly blotches on the trunk? I have taken this matter up with the horticultural station in Washington, D. C., but so far have received no remedy for its prevention. It seems they are at a loss on this question, but claim it is caused by the abnormal change in temperature in the spring months when the sap commences to go up. For instance: We have a temperature of 38 to 40. Suddenly it 10 below freezing—and we have ex perienced this often, quence is the circulation of the sap stops. When warmer weather sets in regain the sap will travel again but it will leave some fluid behind where it was held. Opening the blotches up you will find a watery matter in them; by all means cut this all out clean. If don't it and will The conse in time kill your trees. ' Spraying of trees is essential. We must take precaution to prevent in sects that destroy our trees. Even the tree looks healthy «nd clean ought to have a spraying and I recom mend this being done about the month of June."

What will we do with him? This is a question of grave import ance. The proper handling of the homeless means much to the future welfare of not only the child but of the coming generation. The time was when the homeless child was much neglected and was left to shift for himself in the best way he could and : that wag not very good. Then the j Christian era began to take an inter est in him. It was not till the last of the seventeenth century that he began I to be cared for in orphanages except! a few feeble attempts which were made in the first and second centuries. | The plan of adopting the homeless child out into good homes is of very 1 recent origin. During the last half century this plan has been adopted as the best method of handling the de pendant where he it free to be placed. The society which has been doing this work in our state the past 26 years is the Montana Children's Home society. To date about 2,600 dependent chil dren have been placed in good homes j by this organization at an average 1 cost of 1136, and 98 per cent of them have made good. Besides making many children happy we have made as many homes cheerful by the bring ing in of a child. No dollar spent for charity could possibly tell for more good accomplished. It so a and a joy to be engaged in such a hu manitarian work. The district superintendent has cently been here soliciting for the support of the society and friends have generously contributed but there are many whom he was unable to see personally and if they wish to help with a contribution, • «hock sont, to the^ society will be greatly The past year a campaign has been put on to raise money for our new building of which there is an urgent need. In 1923 we were compelled to turn away over 300 aid cases because we had no room for them. Enough •■»* » 1 « •, f money will be on hand this spring, we hope, to begin on the building but it will need considerable more to com-; plete it." Can you not send in some thing for this worthy cause? Is it right that we should that we should! be forced to refuse a worthy case for j want of room? Many worthy par ents do not wish to give up their chil dren and are willing to send in money for their support if we can keep them for a short time. We have two~4HtIe brothers which re we wish to keep together by placing them in the same home. They are four and five years of age and are fine boys. We also have a brother und sister we would like to place to gether, The boy is fogr year* old and the girl 18 months. Is there not someone who can take them and love them as their own ?
