Willing to Advance Wages.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, June 11.—Repre
sentatives of S. H. Kress & Co.
stores in Arkansas, held a con
sultation with the officials of the
Department of Labor Statistics
Tuesday afternoon and readily
agreed to the proposed minimum
scale. The Kress stores will pay
the girls working there $5 per
week for the first two months,
and a minimum of $6 per week
thereafter. The girls will be re
quired to work but nine hours
per day. The Kress stores, in
Little Rock, Fort Smith, and
Pine Bluff, were the first to com
ply with the state law requiring
seats for the working girls. S.
F. Woolworth stores of Little
Rock and Argenta have already
accepted the minimum scale for
wages.
Deputy McMahon has return
ed from Pine Bluff where he
found the manufacturing estab
lishments well equipped with
safety appliances, but the de
partment stores have not placed
seats for the female employes.
The managers promised to do
this, and Commissioner Clary
will go to Pine Bluff later in the
week to see if they have com
plied with the law.
Gives College a Gymnasium.
Batesville, June 10.—One of
the most generous donations ev
er made to the Arkansas Col
lege was made Monday, when
Major W. J. Erwin sent his
check for $3,500 to that institu
tion. The amount is for the pur
pose of erecting a gymnasium on
the college grounds, to be known
as the W. J. Erwin gymnasium.
Now that efforts are being
made to enlarge and improve the
college buildings, and with ev
erybody taking renewed interest
in helping to build up a greater
educational institution in our
I city, and help to maintain the
reputation of the college, it is
very pleasing to the new officers
to receive such a magnificent
gift.
At the outset it was expected
that $8,000 or $9,000 would be
raised here for the purpose of
making improvements at the
college before the opening of the
next term, and several have al
ready donated to this fund.
It will not take iriany such do
nations as the one by Major Er
win to give the college sufficient
funds to make the contemplated
improvements.

T. R. Pleads For Primary.
Buffalo, June 10.—Theodore
Roosevelt will speak here tonight
in favor of direct primary legis
lation, supporting the campaign
of Gov. Sulzer. His speech fol
lows in part:
“Governor Hughes failed in
getting this bill through be
cause the machines of both the
old parties, under the bosses of
both of the old parties, were a
gainst him. We see the repre
sentatives of two parties, who
in their platforms promised this
legislation, after deliberate cau
cus and conference, solemnly re
pudiating the very promise on
which they sought and obtained
office.
“It is said that we propose tc
do away with party organization,
The statement is not correct. We
believe in party organization,
But we believe that it should be
really party organizations anc
not boss organization, and we
propose to make the organiza
tion responsible to the rank anc
file of the men who nominally
belong to it. The only way tc
beat these bi-partisan bosses is
for the decent people, Progres
sives, Progressive Republicans
and Progressive Democrats
alike, to stand shoulder to shoul
der for the freedom of the state
against the men who stanc
shoulder to shoulder for the po
litical disfranchisement of the
people.

Fire Blight of the Apple.
j Recently a disease has been
spreading through the apple or
chards of Missouri killing much
iof the newly set fruit and many
of the young growing shoots of
the trees. This disease is Fire
Blight. It attacks the pear as
well as the apple and quince. It
develops to a serious degree al
: most every year in pears. It
(rarely causes as much injury in
j apples as it is doing this season
It is caused by a bacterial par
asite which develops in the
j growing layer of the tree caus
i ing the tissues to die as seen ir
the blighting orchards at the
present time. There is no othei
known preventative than cutting
out and burning the blightec
parts. It is now too late to ac
complish much by cutting out
I the blighted part.; in apple trees
as in the apple it has already
run its course for this season.
It continues to live in the pear,
however, throughout the year.
Continue to cut out this blighted
part from the pear trees through
the remainder of the season.
The best time to cut out blight
is in late winter or early spring
just before the blossoming sea
son. It winters over mostly in
pears though occasionally in a
few apples like Jonathan and
(Yellow Transparent. While the
blight now shows in millions of
blighted places on the trunks it
| will winter over only in a few
places here and there in the
trunk, main limbs or occasional
ly in the twigs. In early spring
(these pockets of blight may be
seen in blistered areas on the
bark which gives off honey-like
exudations. Insects feed on
these hony-like masses oozing
from winter blight pockets.
This honey-like mass is full of
germs of the disease which are
carried by the insects to the
blossoms and growing points in
spring. If these winter pockets
can be cut out, and the wounds
painted no blight germs will be
left and the disease will not
I spread during the spring and
I early summer. If a blight pock
et here and there is overlooked
near the blossoming time, the
disease will spread from it to the
flower clusters and growing
twigs. These first blighted exu
, dations will stand in little
beans on young twigs, leaf stems
or young fruit stems. Coulc
these have been cut out just af
ter the blooming period this
1 _■■■■
year, the present enormous
spread of blight could have been
prevented. It would tie well t.< i
keep this point in mind next
spring wherever blight is sei i
ous this year.
