Special to The Farmer.)

Southport, Nov. 10-Stephen Royak, proprietor of the Round House cafe, is indignant over the printed report that Julius Cheeseman was stabbed in his place of business. To a Farmer representative today MT. Royak said: ''The article does me a great injustice and injures my business. It is un- true and I am at a loss to know who gave out such false informatfo Cheseman was in my place during the evening, bought a glass of beer and went away. What happened after that I know nothing of except what has been printed. I think it wrong for anyone to give out such false news as it serves to injure my busi- ness. No fight of any kind started in my place which led to the stabbing of Cheeseman, and it is malicious for anyone to injure the reputation of my place Of business by circulating such hnfounded reports. I propose to probe this matter to the end and find out who is guilty of telling this false hood"

SIMPLE RULES FOR
 THE CARE OF TREES
Attention of Property Owners Called to Errors in Handling Shade
 and Other Trees.

New England and in fact the whole of this country has reached a period where more attention must be paid to the trees. It requires many years to replace a tree which has been ruined by careless treatment or neg lect. Many trees are planted and then abandoned to the insects and other natural enemies. An experienced or chardist said yesterday: Pruning is as necessary to the good health of tree as the annihilation of the worms which prey upon it. Many trees would be able to fight the insects suc- cessfully without. aid if they were kept in healthy condition by proper pruning. In pruning a tree all the dead wood should be removed and the trunk should be left in a condition which will allow the bark to cover the wounds and present a smooth ap- pearance. Never leave a butt stick ing out from tree. It is sure to rot and the decay will spread into the trunk and to the heart Of the tree eventually killing it. Cut off the limbs as close to the trunk as pos sible. Paint or varnish the wood ex- posed and it will soon heal over. As certain just how high above the ground the limbs should branch from the body and begin when they are small to obtain this result. Do not wait until they have grown large, for the wounds will be larger and harder to heal. When they are healed they leave an unsightly scar on the tree. These rules apply to all trees. If fol- lowed they will do much toward keep ing trees healthy and making them beautiful

 Stratford, Nov. Tiff the eyesight Of A. c. Ennis assistant to State Highway Commissioner Macdonald can be depended on, and it has always proved accurate, someone in this state IS using fictitious number on a big touring car and burning up the roads With little danger of detection. Yes- terday afternoon a big touring car came through Barnum avenue at a rate variously estimated from so to 9O miles an hour. It passed MT. En- his and he was able to catch the number which in the record was found 10 have been issued to w, s. Beebe or New Haven. Grand Juror Ivan Morehouse issued a warrant for the arrest Of MT. Beebe on the strength or the number State Policemen Rowe Wheeler and Bill Jackson went to New Haven and interviewed MT. Beebe. The latter took the policemen to his garage and showed them the only machine he owned. It was a two cylinder Yale of the vintage of 1905 and capable of making on good roads and fair wind about 15 miles an hour. It had not been out of the baEn for two weeks and looked 1t. The warrant was not served on MT. Beebe. Now the police are looking for the man who has stolen MT. Beebe's num- ber. The use of fictitious numbers is growing since the automobile laws have become stringent. Several cases is trouble ahead for these violators of the law. The trick is about the meanest in the calendar and decent motorists have signified their inten- tiOn of helping the officers in the att tempt to find the culprits.
