CHRISTMAS DONT'S

Don't tell people that you do not
expect to receive any presents. You
know you do.
Don't forget that the clerk who has
been working long hours for many
weeks is human
Don't, If the present you are send
ing away was expensive, fail to re-
move the price tag.
Don't hunt for price marks on the
presents you receive.
Don't wait till Christmas for the
purpose of being kind.
Don't let your left pocket know
what your right pocket gives for
friendship for love or for charity.
Don't be grouchy merely because
some delivery boy happens to prod
you with the corner of box that is
twice as large as he.
Don't let yourself suppose when you
crowd into the place where Christmas
shopping is being done that you are
the only one who is in hurry.

PRUNING CHERRY TREES.

A gentleman from the eastern part of
face, State Zoologist, Harrisburg, Pa,
asking for detailed information concern
ing the time and method of pruning
cherry trees, and received the following
reply, which contains suggestions that
will prove valuable to other tree grow
ers:
other words, at any time between now
and the time the buds burst or the blos-
of pruning is something that can not well
be described, but L am a great believer
in the low open spreading top for all
kinds of fruit trees.
Your diagram of cutting would be al
most exactly correct ii YOU would turn
your cutting line so that the lowest point
is at the centre and the highest at the
outside. When a tree is pruned so that
growth is forced there, and it becomes
constantly taller. It results finally in a
central growth. This should be so pruned
that the side branches are the taller or
longer, and the central parts are the
shorter. AS soon as the weight of the
downward, away from the centre, leav-
ing the centre temporarily as high, or
the shape of a tree at the time the fruit
is upon it is that which it should be.
That is a critical period of the tree, and
the pruning is particularly for proper
time, as we'll as to convenience the gath
ering of the same.
Fall or winter pruning will do as well
as spring pruning, but the twigs should
be cut a little higher above the buds in
the fall and spring, so as to allow little
greater distance for them to dry back
without killing the bud that was left as
the last on the stub The outer branches
should be cut to the outer buds. In other
words, the last bud on the stub should
be that which extends outward, so as
to spread the top of the tree. In fact,
if there are many side branches starting
1 much prefer to cut to the strong
branch. By this l mean to say that the
cut should be made just above the side
branch which reaches out from the tree.
In pruning during the fall and winter
one should be careful not to cut too close
to the last desired bud, as it is liable
to be killed and thus start the growth
at the inner bud, which will close the
top of the tree and defeat the purpose
of the operator. The distance that he
should cut from the last bud should be
at least equal to the diameter of the twig
which he is cutting; and for fall and
winter pruning 1t would be best to cut
off the twig at some distance above the
last desired bud, and either let it re-
main as long stub, or go over the tree
ia the spring time about the time the
growth is starting, and shorten the stub
so it will heal more readily than though
it were left alone"

SPORTING NOTES.

Record time in a single heat of a
trotting race will not constitute a
new record if the horse does not win
the race and will not affect the
horses class, according to an agree
ment on rules made Wednesday by
the National Trotting Association and
the American Trotting Association
after two days of conference in Chi
cago
The new rule provides that horse
must win at least one race before he
can be advanced to a higher class.
The same distance rules hence
forth will govern both associations.
The two organizations will meet the
second week in February, the Nation
al in New York and the American in
Chicago.
The associations agreed that all
fines and penalties shall be given to
injured and needy drivers.

Normals 9; High School 8

The girls basket ball team of
the WinsloW High school went
to Flagstaff on Saturday, where
they played the first of a series
of games with the girls of the
Northern Arizona Normal school.
Superintendent Cornelius, of the
Winslow schools, and Prof. Holm,
Of the Normal, alternated as UNI
pire and referee.
The boys team also went along
went along and were defeated so
to II. 1t was composed as fol-
lows: S. Fogarty, j. Fishburn,
guards; E. Rendquist, center; L..
Parks, B. Doolittle, forwards; L.
McClimans, sub.
The line up Of the girls team
was as follows: Misses Butner
and Mahoney, forwards; Misses
Shipley and Downs, guards;
Misses Dadey and Allen, cen
ters.
At the close of the first half
the score stood Z to 3 in favor of
the Normals, but during the last
half, owing to the splendid team
work of the Winslow girls, the
score was tied each having 8
points. DJring the ten minutes
agreed upon to play off the tie,
Miss Mahoney, of the Winslow
team, made one free goal and
one field goal, both of which
were counted out by the Flag
Staff umpire on the ground that
they were too high for the Flag
staff guards, and the game clos
ed with a score of 8 to 8 in favor
Of the Normals. The showing
made, by the Winslow girls is
considered splendid, as this was
their maiden game with an out
side team, and against one that
is considered one of the fastest
| in the state. Another thing too,
which was disadvantage is that
the local girls had done all their
practicing on the floor, but the
game was played on the ground.
A return game will be played
in Winslow today, and elaborate
preparations have already been
made to entertain the Flagstaff
visitors.

The state tax commission proudly
point to an increase of valuation Of tax
able property of about one hundred and
fifty million during the year and tell US
that spreading the taxes over that
amount of newly discovered property
ought to lower the rate ard the amount
each taxpayer will have to pay. Don't
believe it. This increase automatical-
ly raises the university income about
$50, 00O as the mill tax does for other
educational purposes The one sole
purpose of the commission is to hunt
for more property to tax, and the leg
islature viii see to it that the state gets
the money. Unless all signs fail, the
largest tax ever known in Wisconsin
will be due in January next. ~ Ex

York 1884, 900, and Ohio Ill, 900. All
states have them. The 1000 600 up
north will become 1000, O0Oin the course
Of about twenty years, and in the long
run the race will be widely dispersed
over the entire country. Today the
percentage of Negroes in the cities that
have more than twenty-five thousand
Inhabitants is 81 per cent,

A dozen years ago there was quite a
howl the country over because the BIZ
son, commonly called the buffalo, was
vanishing. JUS about when this dis
turbanee was at its highest, several
public spirited persons began TO eulti-
vate the small number that was left
Not only were the buffalo bred and kept
in large public parks, but many wide
private ranges and government pre-
serves put in stocks Of these beautiful
animals. The result is that today there
are in the United States more than 1000
bisons. OF course. these are all of pri-
vate ownership, except the few small
herds in public parks. Anyway the BIZ
son is again coming into his own and
while he win never range over the prai-
ries as he did in the early days there
will be plenty of him.
