WAY TO PLANT FRUIT TREES
in Mild Climates Fall Is Best Season
for the Work-Dry, High Ground
Is Best Location.

October and April are the two best
months for planting all varieties of
fruit and deciduous trees. For mild
climate fall is the best season for
planting; for severe climate plant
early in spring as soon as ground Is
dry and mellow. Lard that will grow
corn will grow fruit
Fruit trees should never be planted
in low, wet land; select high. dry,
well-drained ground. Plant two-year-
old trees, buy direct from a reliable
nursery; trees bought from agents gel
dom give satisfaction. In ordering
trees instruct nurserymen to give
trees with an abundance of roots.
When trees arrive, unless they are
frozen, unpack and either heel in
trench, being careful to press the
earth close to the roots, or plant at
once. If trees are frozen when received
place package in cellar where they
will thaw out gradually or bury in the
earth. IF trees appear dry or shriv-
eled through delay on cars, take them
from package, plunge into a barrel
Df water, then bury the roots in the
ground in a slipping position, and
cover the entire limbs with straw
and fine earth, thoroughly soaked with
water In a few days they will regain
their freshness and may then be
planted.
Before planting cut with a sharp
knife all broken roots, cut sloping
from below upward, then shorten in
the top at least half OF last years
growth. Do not look upon a young
tree for what it is, but for what it will
be when the buds have grown into
limbs. The last bud left on the limb
will become the leader, and it should
point outward or to the left or right,
as is needed to shape the tree, but
seldom or never inward. If necessary
to cut two or three buds below the
one preferred in order to find one
bud that points in the right direction,
do it. Cut near to, but not too close
to the bud, and never leave a stub
above the bud to decay. Also cut
out all useless branches and those
which will cross

acter and worth of our friendships.
The loose attachments, the mere sur
face affinities, the friendship founded
on some sordid consideration of ad,
vantage, all perish.
They have no inherent power of per-
sistence despite every adverse circum'
stance. 1t is curious and not unin-
structive to look back over the
years and recall how many at different
periods we have thought and called
friends.
They have passed out of life and we
have no real sense Of loss. The friends
whose love makes all the difference In
life lends color and meaning, aim and
purpose, are those who remain with us
in good or i'll.

Life in an Organism.

Life in an organism today Is like

of chemistry and physics, it may be.

Of the past and the weaving is still

We cheaper the term by such use
of it.

Lords of the Raven.

According to Scot Highlanders
the appearance of the raven foreshad-
ows death and disaster to the chiefs
of the great clan Campbell. The other
day the heir presumptive to the duke
dom of Argyll, Lord Archibald Camp
bell passed away at Inverary, the
Headquarters of the clan. Prior to the
death of his lordship the townsfolk
were struck with the behavior of the
ravens on Duniquaica, the well-known
hill close to InverarT castle. Rare as
that bird now Is IL many parts Of
Scotland. it was Ii ely observed in
scores between the }stle and the hill,
and as many as fl 9 were seen to-
gether on the day previous to Lord
Archibald's death, Tough they are all
supposed to be faF up the glen pre-
paratory to nesting. When Lord Arch
ibald's father, the late Duke of Argyll
died, ravens are said to have lowered
over the hill, circling round and round
the steep, wooded slopes.-Ireland's

GHT-YEAR-OLD son OF REU-
BEN SCHMIDT INSTANTLY
KILLED BY HART SWAL-
STEAD'S CADILLAC NEAR VIA
DUCT THIS EVENING.

Grover, the eight-year-old son of
sNr. and Mrs. Reuben Schmidt, 315
Conrad ST., was instantly killed in the
most horrible automobile accident
sever known in this city, just at the
street at about o'clock this (Thurs-
day evening.
Grover was playing with Russell Pet
serson, son of Carl Peterson and had
|grabbed his companions cap, running
from the curb into the center of the
9street with it, when Hart Swalstead,
Running his Cadillac at not more than
five or six miles an hour, struck the
little lad, running over him. The
|boy's skull was crushed and he died
A wagon load of sand had
been coming down the viaduct immed-
lately in front Of Mr.. Swalstead's auto
and the load turned onto Conrad
street. The boy was running with
his back to the auto and undoubtedly
\ did not see the machine coming. Wit
nesses say that the lad dashed in
front of the machine from the side,
when Mr.. Swalstead was not more
than three or four feet away and this
gave the driver no opportunity what
ever to stop or turn out. It is believ-
ed that the boy was struck by one of
the lamps, which appears to have been
denied, knocked down and apparently
the machine passed over the body its
full length, MASKING one side of his
face and skull. At this writing ply
sicians have not made an examination
of the body, SO that this cannot be
positively verified.
Mrs. VIM. Young, who lives near by,
the little Peterson boy and Mr.. Torger-
son, who works at the Fecker meat
market, witnessed the sad accident
and their stories correspond with the
above statements.
