The memorandum delivered to the
Government of the United States
by the German Ambassador on
April 4 was ha»'dly a diplomatic note
It was more than critical. It was cen

that of complaint, for it had the flavor
of dictation.

ARBOR DAY POEM
(By Rev. E C. Durharr.)
We can’t all paint on canvass white
Pretty, lovely, c«.lored flowers;
But we can make, for human sight
Sv/eeter things in sunny hours;
For we can plant the tinv seed
Which springs forth and goes to

Appearing lovlier indeed.
And, besides, the air perfuming.
Whatever be the artist’s fame.

During the eight months ended with

manufactures increased in value ap
proximately eight million dollars, as
compared v/ith the correspo;-'ding pe
riod of the fiscal year immediately
preceding; and this despite the decided
falling off in China’s taking of unbleacb

Chinese to buy.

as a poison for killing tobaco worms
and it is responsible for spraying not

Green will burn tobacco.
The proper tim*i to begin spraying
todacco is when the worms first apJ»
pear. By beginning eaily the crop of
worms is more easily controlled. Spray
ing is most successfully done on a still
day. Never attempt to spray while a
high wind is blowing, pecause the wind
will blow the poison on off before it
sticks to the leaves. Never start to
sprayijig while a heavy dew is on the
tobftcco. When the poison hits the
water it pools and after the water
dries off a thick spot of the pcison is
