fruit is good, attractive color. It takes
light and plenty Of 1t to make good
color and the tree top with too many
branches will keep out the sunlight
and, consequently. will not produce
well-colored fruit.
In market fruit, size as we'll as col

to produce too many apples will be

Thinning the fruit will aid very ma

good deal of work in thinning can be
saved by taking out some of the extra
wood this winter.

HOPE TO RAISE LARGE SUM
Mii'ions OF Red Cross Christmas Seals
to Be Sold for Anti-Tubercu-
iosis Work.

Few people have any ioea OF the
magnitude Of the Red Cross Christmas
seal campaign. This year over 100,-
OOo,0oo seals have been printed and
distributed. If placed end-to-end
these seals would extend nearly 2,400
miles, or practically from New York
to Salt Lake City. They have been
sent to over $4,000 different agents
and will be sold and handled by an
army of not less than 100000 volun-
teers, including men, women and chill
dren. Millions of advertising circu-
lars have been scattered throughout
the country, and SO thoroughly has
the advertising campaign been or
ganlzed that it is doubtful il many
people in the more populous states
OF the country will not have heard of
the Red Cross seal and its mission in
the prevention of tuberculosis. 1t is
hoped that at least 50,000000 seals
may be sold this year. The principle
upon which the sale of seals is based
is that every cent except what little
is needed to cover the actual cost of
printing and handling snail be spent
for tuberculosis work in the commu-
nifty, where the seals are sold.

Household and Mental Order.

Froebel, father of child-study,' said
that inward clearness proceeds from
outward order" and there is truth
enough in the observation to give food
for thought in the careless, untidy
mother and father. Froebels saying
was connected, no doubt with his in
sistence that the child's play and work
materials in the kindergarten should
be taken out in perfect order and so
returned at the close of the exercises,
and DR.. Montessori the Italian educa-
zionist, whose method is working a
change in the teaching Of children, re-
quires the same thing in her Houses
of Childhood" There must indeed be
a potent influence in an orderly pune
tual, ely-administered household,
and there is no question that children
brought up in such an atmosphere do
show clearness in their mental pro-
cesses. Fortunately, this is an influ-
ence which is independent of riches or
poverty and so can be exerted by any
mother.

A big-hearted purchaser of Red

complained because the seals did not
come in sheets larger than 100. He
had prepared Christmas package for
his daughter and had conceived the
idea that he would wrap it entirely in
Christmas seals. AS the present was

New Castle, Colo, Dec. 17.-All but
nine of the thirtysevcn bodies had
been removed from the Vulcan mine
near here early today where every
person in the main workings of the
mine was killed instantly TUESDAY by
an explosion of mine gas.
Nine bodies remain in the upper lit
above the west entry and in this man
ner all the bodies were accounted tor.
One of the rescuers, overcome with
fatigue which followed prolonged use
of the oxygen helmet, fell in chamber
20 west, but was taken out alive by his
fellow crewmen who were following
close behind in the exploration work.
They carried him to the air shaft.
where he was quickly revived and
taken to the surface.
Scores of relatives and friends of
the victims stood in the snow at the
entrance watching the rescuers carry
out the bodies, one at time.
The scene was unlike that of most
mine disasters, in that there was not
the slightest hope that any of those
caught in the terrific blast had sur
vived. The chief desire OF those who
waited was that their loved ones
might be recognizable. In a majority
of Instances, even this hope met dis
appointment.
Virtually every one of the dead min
ers was born in Colorado.
All were Americans and many of the
unmarried were sons of ranchers and
had lived in the vicinity of New Cas-
tie all their lives.
Sixteen of the men We're married.
In casting up the situation it was
found that fifteen women were left
widows and thirty-four children made
fatherless by the explosion. One of the
victims became father at almost the
identical moment that he was hurled
to his death by the blast This one
was Herbert Woods, twenty-eight
years old.
The exact cause of the explosion is
not known definitely but it is the opn-
ion of the mine officials that the ac-
cumulated gas was set off by min
er's candle.
They went to work in the mine
after the union workers had struck.
The Vulcan mine, now owned by the
Rocky Mountain Fuei Company, has
always been known 10 be dangerous
on account OF the great quantity OF gas
that forms IN it's workings. The men
employed there knew of this danger.
The two men in the upper level who
escaped injury were w. j. Finley and
John Dawson. An air passage in their
part of the mine prevented the gas
from forming there
Since 1896, when forty-nine men
were killed in an accident much sim
liar to that of yesterday, the Vulcan
has been the dread of all workers in
the coal region.
