Real Estate Deals Growing.

The real estate deals, as shown
by deeds recorded as published this
week, show a decided improvement,
and it will also be noted that an in
creased number Of people are begin
ming to come in on the lookout for
land and other realty investments.
This was to be expected, as more
people who are looking for homes,
go out during the late fall and winter
than any other part of the year, as
they can get away much better at
that time of the year, and they can
also, in many cases, make their Sc
lectiOns in time TO move the next

DESPONDENT FAWN IN
N. Y. zoo Is A SUICIDE
Thinking Mother Was Being Killed
Would Die, Too

NEW YORK, June 3-Evidently agi-
tated by the belief that Zoo employees
were planning to harm her mother,
Violet. one of the youngest fallow deer
at the Bronx Geological park, leaped
from a high ledge yesterday afternoon
straight on picket fence. Barney Nc
Enroe and other Zoo employees rushed
to her rescue and promptly took her
from the fence, but Violet gasped her
last a few minutes after she had COM
mitted the rash act. Though she left
no note behind explaining her copduct,
McEnroe and the other witnesses of
Violet's end are convinced that it was
clear case of suicide.
1t all came about because Violet's
mother had been suffering for some
time from corns. DIR. w. Reid Blair,
official Zoo physician, decided yester-
day to manicure" the deer's hoofs.
When he entered the deer inclosure
and sought to catch Violets mother
she didn't like his face. So he called
they chased the deer about with loud
cries At this point it was that Violet,
who had been deeply solicitous all the
while for her mother decided that her
parent was about to be murdered and
that life held nothing for herself. With
a despairing bleat Violet rushed to the
brink of the ledge and bounded into
space. She was only 2 months old,
poor deer, and a general favorite.

MAKES JELLY FROM
PLANTS Of DESERT
Mrs. L. H. Yetter Turns Cactus
Pears and Cactus Tongue
Into Sweets for the Table
STUDYING THE SPINELESS
Requires No Cultivation, and Sum-
shine of Sand Waste Cares
for Its Growth

DOUGLAS, Ariz., June 3.-The Ari-
zona cactus seems to be coming into
its own. 1t has been the hoax of every
body and everything for half century.
The only thing that has stomach and
that has appreciated its qualities in
the past was the burro, though during
times of extremely poor pasture the
steer on the range has not disdained
to risk his nose in devouring it. The
announcement is now made that the
forest service has decided to under
take in a limited scope the cultivation
of spineless cactus in Arizona. Roscoe
Wilson, supervisor of the Tonto forest
in this territory, has ordered con-
signment of the Burband cacti, which
will be set out in the reserve. Owing
to the fact that the cattle on the re-
serve ranges would devour the tender
cacti ad libitum, as would also the
Jack rabbits and gophers, the plants
will be set inside a rabbit-proof wire
fence. The only value that could be de-
rived from the spineless cactus would
be such as could be reaped through the
agency of nature alone If the plants
required cultivation, they would not be
profitable, and to make the test, after
the plans are once set out they Will be
left to the care of mother earth ana
the Arizona sunshine.
It is only an incident in the history
of the much despised cactus that WINE
man has been exploiting its nutrition
for the good of the range stock, wo-
man has gone a step in advance, and is
now conducting experiments with the
cactus fruit with a view to tempting
man himself to include in his dinner
The product Of the desert. The woman
Is Mrs L. II. Yetter of Phoenix. Mrs,
Yetter took the hint which formed the
basis of her new field of operations IN

"If the cactus will make taffy, why
will il not make 1elly?" was her inward
query. She began to stew delicacy that
would look good on the store shelf, and

are that cactus pears, luscious to the
eve and sweet to the tooth, slabs OF

some of the conceit out of the ruby
