28 & EMBEZZLER ADNITS MISUSE OF $70.00 Confesses to Loss in Per- sonal Investments and Says He “Feels Better.” By the Assoclated Press. CAMDEN, N. J, November 9.—Sam- uel R. Worthington, 28-year-old assist- ant real estate trust officer of the Broadway Merchants’ zlement of more than $70,000. He put every pehny into the rising ble bar- 860k foArket and when i collapsad hig| *nd field mice wire 1 g formidable four brokers called for more margin. He was unable to furnish it and was sold out, he said. ‘Worthington walked into the office of C. A. Baldwin, county prosecutor, yesterday with an attorney and startled that official by the statement: “I have embezzled more than $70,000 and lost it in the stock market.” Officials of the bank knew nothing of the peculations until Worthington informed them. They said he was not even suspected. John B. Kates, presi- dent of the bank, said in a formal statement that stockholders of the bank and depositors would lose nothing. “I have been unable to eat or sleep since I realized what had happened,” Worthington said. “At one time I was within $4,000 of squaring accounts. Then the market broke. Everything was going my way until the crash.” He was held without bail for a hearing. EVANGELIST TO PREACH AT SILVER ANNIVERSARY Dr. H. T.

Farmerg' THE HOME GARDENER Practical and Seasonal Hints for the Amateur for Beautifying Surroundings of the Home. TREE PROTECTION As Winter approaches, the suburban gardener is con lem of protecting his fruit trees, shrul and even flowering bulbs from rodents of various types. ticularly favorites of hungry rabbits and mice. Today's picture, taken from Bulletin No. Control_in Field and Orchard,” by James Silver, shows the most logical BY J. B.

Accord- protection for fruit trees. This is a netting placed with base an inch or two in the soil. For rabbits, wood chucks rier, but unfortunately there are species of mice which feed mostly under the soil, the pine mouse being an outstand- ing example of this type. This animal is perfectly capable of stripping all the | underground roots without showing above the surface, and is therefore an | extremely dangerous pest. Poisoning and trapping are given in the above- | cited bulletin as the most effective| means of combatting pine mice. Rabbits are sometimes combatted by the simple expedient of painting some obnoxioys substances, such as lime sul- phur or white lead, on the trunk of the tree. In most cases treatments of this sort are temporary, lasting only as long as the material is fresh. It is far safer to use the wire netting, and in the case of the small suburban orchard first cost will not be excessive and would be am- ply repaid by saving even a single tree. Moles are commonly blamed for de- stroying tulip and other bulbs, but it is believed by investigators that most of the damage is actually done by field mice which follow the moles’ runways. In Farmers' Bulletin No. 1,247, “Ameri- can Moles,” by T. H. SchefTer, the state- ment is made that earthworms and white grubs constitute the bulk of the mole's food. This observation was based on studies of moles captured through- out the year. If this is the general situation, the gardener has little to fear from the presence of moles except the nuisance of their burrows. Any one bothered with moles should obtain a| copy of the bulletin mentioned, which | discusses in detail the various methods of trapping. TARKING PLANTS One duty that should not be neglect- ed by the gardener at this season is the labeling of new Elln'-s that have been set out during the past year. It is very easy to recall names while plants are new, but it is equally easy to allow them to slip from memory as time goes on_unless a record is made. One way of keeping such informa- tion is to map the home grounds and carefully record the position and name of the plants, but even this is not quite satisfactory with herbaceous plants like peonies that @ie back to the ground each Autumn. For plants of this type a marker that can be thrust into the soll near the plant.is eminently satis- factory. Galvanized iron T-shaped la- bels may be obtained at the seed stores and surpass wooden stakes because of their greater durability. For trees and shrubs a label may be attached to a branch, using as a holder a copper wire tied loosely to prevent binding and girdling. The great handi- cap of practically all outdoor markers is the temporary nature of such record- ing devices. However, if the labels, after lettering, are painted with clear shellac they will remain legible for a much longer period. ‘The printed aluminum labels used in parks and ar- s oduve a pctial ‘machine. for nately, req: a s manufacture. If a garden club would flurchne such & machine and supply bels to its members at cost it would as nothing Is more vexatious to the variety specialist, and even the ordi- nary gardener, than to find that a name has become illegible or lost. | NOTES ON PEONIE | Some home gardeners may be trou- bled with the failure of peonies to bloom, ‘even though the plants are ap- ing to Dr. E. B. White of Kesington, non-flowering is most often the result of planting too deep. Deeply planted peonies are forced to develop buds on the old stems, which apparently are so cylinder of fine-meshed -galvanized-wire | An effective and simple way of protecting fruit trees from the ravages of rabbits, mice and other rodents.

The remedy is obvious. Plants which have refused to bloom should be dug up and reset with the top of the crown about one inch below the ground sur- face. Autumn is the ideal time for moving peonies, and the work should not be put off until Spring. Peonies profit from applications of animal fertilizer, but this should not be placed in contact with the roots, but below the roots, and separated from them by a layer of soil. Bone meal is an excellent plant food for the peony— as a matter of fact, for most all garden plants. Full shade is also unfavorable to the peony, a fact borne out by the almost universal location of peony plantations in. the open. Any one doubtful of the fact that excellent peonies may be grown in this viclinity should have seen the flowers at the big peony show held at the Wil- lard Hotel last Spring. In competition with blooms from all over the North- castern States a locally grown flower carried off the honors as best in the entire show. It is true that the peony is adapted to large grounds, but the flower garden must be pretty small that cannot make room for at least one of these glorious Spring flowers. PE ON Most every one is familiar with native persimmons, which grow in the woods and fence rows in the open country about the city and which are edible, i at all, only in the fully ripe state. Fewer are acquainted with the large- fruited, Oriental type persimmons seen occasionally at this time of year in our local markets. The native and the | leith Citizens' Association, food crop in Northern China, and that with proper culture and ripening this frult might easily become a favored food product in the United States. Time alone will bring the answer, be- cause it usually requires a long period or some urgent need to accustom a pco- ple to a new food. Mrs. Wilhelmina F. Rhode, president of the Burleith Garden Club, transmits n]nbmllowmx report of activities of her club: Mrs. Charles E.

Those receiving the garden prizes were: Mrs. G. W. Moser, first prize; Mrs. M. W. Hawkins, second prize; Mrs. R. B. Foster, third prize; Mrs. E. A. Weeks, fourth prize, and Mrs. Towson Price, fifth prize. ‘Those receiving priges for best blooms were: Mrs, Carl Smith, first prize; Mrs. R. B. Foster, second prize; Miss Sally Updegraft, third prize; Mrs. L. W. Valentine, fourth prize, and Mrs. C. T. Purdum, fifth prize. A ribbon was awarded Mrs. Chenery for petunia blooms and to Mrs. M. W. Hawkins for Red Radiance roses. The judges were Prof. Lumsden, Prof. Mulford, Dr. White, Mr. Raymond Hors~ Oriental persimmons belong to the same family, but to a different species. The Oriental or Japanese persimmon has been improved by centuries of cul- tivation and selection, while little or no effort has ever been expended on the American species. According to Dr. L. H. Bailey in his Cyclopedia of Horticulture, the Oriegtal persimmon has failed to gain wide ap- proval in the United States largely be- cause the fruits usually reach the con- sumers before fully ripe, and eaten in this condition have left an unfavorable impression. Another drawback is that the varie- ties imported have not been hardy, thus giving the home gardeners of the North no opportunity to become closely ac- quainted with the fruit. Since both the native and the Oriental persimmons are highly astringent until fuliy ripe, it is easy to appreciate why even the best varieties have failed to gain favor when eaten immature. P. H.
