Heileman Quits Service.

Beginning today, the first day of
the new fiscal year. the Phoenix
postoffice will be placed on an eight
hour basis. BY an adjustment of the
various divisions of office organi-
zation it has been so arranged that
it is not believed any clerk will have
to work more than eight hours per
day, except perhaps in an emer-
gency. Heretofore there has been
more or less irregularity, some work
ing longer hours than others and all
averaging eight hours and fifty-four
minutes each.
Various changes in the force will
also take effect today Leo Heile-
man who has been connected with
the office for eight years and who

employe of the office for sometime
and who was formerly a station sup
erintendent in Louisville has been
made foreman of the office division Of
mails. In this connection it is es-
pecially asked that patrons make an
extra effort to have correspondents
address their mail correctly. The
changes in the force may cause some
delay at first in the delivery of mail
to those whose addresses are not list
ed i'm the office and If any patron
thinks his address is not on file he
should see that il is placed there, no
matter how long he has lived in the
community All addresses should be
filed either by street and number, or
by box number

also be effected today pursuant 10 the

.CR|MS0N's LONG LEAD
Though the Varsity Eight,
the Days Main Event, was
Easily Captured, the Yale
Freshmen Earned a Hard
Fought Triumph.

New London, Conn. June Sc
Harvard's efforts to sweep the
Thames today for the third consecu-
tive year were not achieved, for. al
though the Crimson won the great
varsity event in runaway style by 10
lengths and the sub-varsity fours
lengths, the Yale freshmen captured
the initial event In each race the
winning crew led from start TO fin
ish
Harvard's varsity eight shook off
the lighter Yale crew early and was
never challenged throughout the four
miles. Ii was the fourth consecutive
victory for Harvard, a record that
has not come to Cambridge for nearly
a half century
The varsity race was rowed down
stream with a fast tide, but with a
head breeze that impeded progress
The morning races were rowed up
stream, also with the tide, but with
a moderate wind against them. The
official times for the three races
were:
Varsity race-Harvard. % minutes
"a seconds; Yale. % minutes 4O14
seconds.
Freshmen-Yale, II minutes SO Sec
onds; Harvard. II minutes 591s sec
onds
Varsity fOurs-Harvard. 13 minutes
371s seconds; Yale. 13 minutes 81 sec
onds.
The varsity race was witnessed by
more than $4,000 people on shore. in
observation cars and on the river in
a floating grandstand. Overhead how
cred an aeroplane. while beneath stole
a submarine which escaped the vigi-
lance of the marine policemen.
Referee Meikleham waited half an
hour after the scheduled time for the
wind to subside. and then sent the
varsity eights away from the moored
punts opposite Red Top at $3.50. Har-
ward caught the water first and the
initial stroke showed the power of
its crew. A yard was gained there
and the lead was increased more than
a length before the half-mile.
Yale rowed in perfect form. but
power was lacking Every Harvard
stroke meant a gain and this was
continued TO the finish The only
consolation that Yale obtained during
the day was the result of the fresh
man race. There the crews were so
close for mile and a half of the
two miles that only those on the ref
eree's boat could pick the leaders. At
the half mile, mile. and mile and a
half Yale's advantage in each case
was one second. In the home stretch
the Blue youngsters pulled away and
won by two lengths
The Harvard four evened the score
by jumping away from the Yale shell
at the start and holding a constantly
increasing lead. finishing with four
lengths between the shells.

effort at legislation until after July 4.
and that when business is resumed

NOTES.

Do not plant trees with i bunch Of
spreading roots. Trim them off 20
within -four or five inches of the root
stock.
Might as we'll give the trees plenty
of room at the start because il you
don they will have to be cut out
later. Thirty feet apart is the right
distance for apple trees. although 40
feet would not do any harm.
Plow your ground deep and prepare
the soil as carefully as you would for
the corn field. Nature often performs
wonders with trees. but as a general
rule she ought to have a little intelli-
cent help.
If your favorite cherry tree is badly
decayed, clean out everything in the
cavity as carefully as your dentist
would a tooth for filling, then
spray thoroughly with a 2 per cent
solution of fornalin. fill the cavity
solid with cement and paint over all.

cut off every water sprout with a

TO RAISE MELONS EARLY.

The following plan may be prac-
ticed in planting various kinds of
seeds but 1t is especially adapted to
watermelons, since this fruit. when
placed on the market early is a won
derful profit maker.
Set small tin cans on live Goals and
heat them until the bottom may be
removed, place several cans in a box
and fill them with loose, rich soil,
prepared just as you would a seed
bed for any other kind Of seed
Early in the season plant about a
dozen WatermelOnS in each can and
keep the box where it is warm Gin

s%prinkling Of SAM on the surface will
help to keep down any weeds that
may spring up.
Dampen the soil daily and provide
as much sunlight as possible by set
ting the box in the window. When
the day is warm and bright place the
box out Of doors. thus supplying those
two essentials to plant-production-
air and light.
for transplanting and the danger of
frost is over slip the soil together
with the young plants from the cans,
place them In a rich hill prepared ex-
pressly for the purpose. being care
full not to remove any Of the soil from
around the roots Of the plants.
After they are all started growing
thin them out until there. are five
plants in a hill.
Besides producing an. early crop
and securing a high price for the pro-
duct this method is especially COM
mendable on account Of avoiding the
Hanger Of late frost and destruction by
bugs and worms, which last-named IS
a common occurrence at an early
stage where the plants are propagat-
ed in the open field.
Also the plants will nave secured a

Silk in dresses. ribbons or gloves

OF APPLES.

The coloring of apples is influenced
greatly by thinning. 1t is we'll known
that when two pickings are made that
half colOredr fruit left at the first
picking will. within two or three
weeks, increase in size and put on
more color, rivaline the specimens
first removed. Earlier thinning ac-
composites this result in a still more
marked manner
There is also a greater lumber of
~windfalls from unthinned than from
a thinned tree. partly due to decrease
Of defective fruits by thinning. also
to lessened drain upon the vitality OF
the tree.
Owing to the necessity Of produce
ing a better grade of fruit than
formerly, and of more careful pack
ing thinning the fruit cannot be
neglected.
Thinning is one of the measures to
be taken to induce annual crops, but
alone it cannot produce the desired
result. nor can varieties in which the
habit of fruiting in alternate years is
strongly fixed be much changed in
this way.-W. J. Green. Ohio.

THE IDEAL HORSE STABLE.

A wel1-known stOckman says: The

ture, it should not be too large SO, that
you keep the animal neat under con-
troll, and not have stable temperature

The ventilation should be perfect
and as strong as possible up to the

be as high as convenient, and il the

y The modern manure Spreader is
built so as to give sufficient capacity
for a large load and unless the
ground is dry and level three or four
horses should be attached 50 that we
may facilitate the work.
Owning a manure spreader stimu-
lates Us to get the manur out as fast
as it is made, preventing all loss from

more evenly than it could be
done by hand so that it covers more
land covered that it would have il a
large amount were applied by hand.
We have found during the recent
years that there is a loss Of fertility
when anu is spread in too large
quantities. The anu spreader is a
great ~economizer Of labor, which is a
very important item to be considered
at the present time.
In buying a manure spreader we
should note very carefully how strong
ly it is built at the places where the
wear and tear will be the greatest
when the machine is in operation It
should distribute all kinds of manure
evenly. There should be. the same
quantities spread on the outside as in
the enter of the space being covered.
This Is a very important point to be
considered in selecting a machine.
With any make OF spreader are
should be exercised in loading IL the
machine is to do its best field work.
It will pay every man to investigate
these points before he buys a machine.
