PLAINTIFF ON STAND
IN DE JoNG CASE
John DeJong Comes Al; the Way

& Today's session of the district
court was given over to- the DeJong
automobile case and a short tilt in
regard to the old Grimsley case,
which long ago was due for the can
merry, but through ill feeling among
the attorneys has been revived from
time to time with little in the way of
advancement being accomplished.
Judge w. S. Hamilton gave atten-
ton to the Grimsley case when he re-
kconvened court at ten o'clock this
morning. Attorney B. A. Dolan sought
to have the case of Dolan, guardian,
VS.. Felix T. Hughes set down for trial
While Judge Hamilton could see no
advantage in setting the case for the
reason that it could not be reached
this term, Attorney Dolan was given
an opportunity of reading his motion
and aftidavits supporting the same.
In the DeJong automobile case a
motion to strike certain evidence was
argued by counsel this morning, and
this afternoon the introduction of evi
dence was resumed.
John DeJong, the much DELAYED
plaintiff in the case took the stand.

with murder in the first degree
which was set for Tuesday afternoon
will not reach trial until later in the

Nails in Hard Wood.

1t will be found almost impossible
to drive thin steel nails into hard
wood. for the moment you hit them
hard enough to puncture the wood
they bend over on themselves.
Many people employ the use of a
small gimlet to bore the hole destined
to hold the nail. and few people know
that If yellow soap is rubbed on the
nail it can be driven in. the hardest
wood with ease.
This trick was learned by carpen-
ter, who discovered it accidentally.
Now whenever he is working with
hard wood he keeps cake of soap

lapanese Fruit Trees.

Among the many ways of their own
that the Japanese have for doing Is
their system of pruning and training
fruit trees. The system is called
''tana," and consists in training the
branches overhead on trellis work
made of bamboo or wire supported on
wooden posts about five and halt
feet high.
This offers advantages in gathering
the fruit, and not only serves to pro
tect the trees against wind and
storms, but is said to increase pro
duction. Only very light pruning is
done. and that usually in the winter
time. This system is generally adopt
