Moving Large Trees.

In the upper part Of the framework
and their connections with the block
and tackle below. The old-fashioned
guy ropes, usually fastened to the
head of the tree, are discarded, as they
have frequently proved to be injurious
by disconnecting or loosening the
roots from the ball Of earth.
In order to get the wagon directly
over the ball Of the tree, and also over
the hole where the tree is to be re-
planted, the rear axle of the wagon is
removed, and the back Of the truss or
elevated framework upon which the
tree is suspended keeps this part of
the wagon together at any width re-
quired. To prevent damage to grass
areas, wide tires are used. In the case
illustrated, 14-inch tires were used OF
the rear wheels.

Why not urge the boys to expert

by planting the seed. The plum and
cherry trees can be found almost any

Pittsburg, Pa, March 15.-A night

Earlier in the day Mrs. Loretta

medical treatment to Miss Coe.
The defense was outlined by Attor
ney Homer l.. Castle. IN general de

afternoon the aged educator and min
lister took the stand in his own be
half. Dr. Mcfarland testified he had
prescribed for Elsie Coe with the full
knowledge and consent of her mother
during a period covering several years
and declared that on January last,
she had told him SHE had undergone
an operation at the hands of another
physician, whose name, he said. she
refused to give him.
The defense introduced a statement

Witnessed was the result.
Ward drove an S0-horsepower ma

was given handicap of half mile

There was evidently an element of
doubt in the minds of Hot Springs
people as to the ability of the ayia-
tors at Oaklawn to fly in the strong
wind which swept over the course yes

reason was not up to expectations,
