Uncle Sam to War
On Sale of Liquor
To Indian Braves

A general crusade against all persons
in the District who sell or convey
liquors to Indian visitors to the Ma
tional Capital. is to be inaugurated by
the Indian Bureau of the Interior De-
pattment, following the arrest Satur-
day of Nicholas Mades on a charge
OF selling intoxicants to Bacon Rind
and Henry Red Eagle, two chiefs of the
Usage tribe. here to consult with the
Great White Father.
Indian Bureau officials declare that
the practice of dispensing liquors to
the redmen in this city has increased
steadily despite the rigid laws on the
subject. The arrest of Mades, they
say, marks the beginning Of a crusade
designed to stop the practice, as a vio-
lation of the Federal laws, which apply
not only to all parks and reservations
belonging to the National Government,
but to all Territories, including the Dis
trict of Columbia.
In the past difficulty has been ex-
perienced in detecting violations of the
law in Washington, but Thomas A.
Larson, special agent of the Interior
Department on violations of the liquor
traffic law, has been assigned to local
work.

as they are usually the very ones to
be left. Lowest limbs should be from
1s to "a inches from the ground. II
the tree has been pruned so that the
top is much higher than this, it is
usually best to cut the entire top of
about three feet from the ground and
depend upon forming the top from
limbs which come out below this
point.
Peach trees can stand more severe
pruning than either cherry or apple.
Peach trees should generally be cut
OF about 49, inches from the ground,
and If there are any branches below
that point they should be cut back to
the first or second bud. Cherries or
plums need practically no pruning ex
eept to cut the branches of foot o.

GOOD SUBSTITUTE FOR POLES
Wire Makes Best Support for Beans

Twisted Irvine Is Good.

1t is every year becoming more diff.

Pants of that kind and very often a,
crop is greatly reduced because of
lack of proper support. Beans may

Substitute for Poles.

be supported without poles in this
manner: Stakes. from which wires or
strings run, should be driven in the
ground very early, so the roots of the
plants will not be disturbed. The
beans should be at least eighteen
inches apart in the row and the rows
should be three feet apart.
Wire, of course, makes the best sup
port, but very strong, hard-twisted
Irvine that will not stretch in the damp
weather will answer the purpose.
The supporting posts may be set at
any distance apart, according to the
strength of the pole supporting the
wire or twine. An excellent support
is a gas pipe, but of course this is too
expensive for large garden. but may
be used to advantage in the average
small garden.

CUTTING BACK FRUIT TREES
Peach Can stand More Severe Prun-

A great many factors enter into the
determination of Just how a tree
should be cut back. In this article,

FIVE Of the best limbs should be cut
back to eight or twelve inches, max
ing the cut Just in the direction in
which the limb should grow.
All trees should be kept low
headed. Be careful not to cut Off the
lower limbs when 1t is not necessary,
