erection of a handsome 75xl50-foot 
open-air pavilion for the purpose of 
holding conventions and other public 
meetings during the summer season. 
It is believed that the city will be en-

vided for them than it gets now.

By Spraying Then 
Spraying is essential to the health of your 
trees; but all pumps can’t develop the pres- 
sure necessary to do the work right. 
Deming Power Sprayers

in the parks and on the trees of some of our 
largest cities, and upon famous estates. Speci-
