IN RESTRAINT
BY GEORGE LOWRIE

Mr.. and Mrs. Owens returned from
the theater at II o'clock. They found
the light in the hall turned low, as they
had left it, and, leaving it so for the
night. as was their custom. went up
stairs. They had barely turned up the
gas on the second floor when they
heard a sound below. Mr.. Owens de-
seconded the staircase to learn the
cause and at the bottom met a man.
"Who are you. and what are you do
ing here?" asked Mr.. Owens.
The man put his finger TO his lips.

There are burglars in the house"
But you-how did you get inT'

Mrs. Owens. fearing some danger to
her husband. followed him downstairs
and asked what was the matter.
"Burglarsw whispered her husband.
"Great heavens. We shall all be muir
dered.'
Not while I'm here. madam" said
the policeman, "and II you'll only keep
quiet I'll bag them all. Go upstairs and
leave them to me-"
Mrs. Owens ran upstairs as fast as
she could go. Mr.. Owens would have
remained below to assist in the capture.
but his wife called him and threatened
to go down again If he didn't come up.
The policeman told him to go and keep
her quiet. So Mr.. Owens followed his
wife upstairs and into her bedroom.
where she locked him in with her and
took the key out Of the lock.
Mr.. Owens remained comparatively

below and not liking the idea of the

stricken at such an event and fearing
that her husband would take the KEY
by force, rushed to the window, lifted
the sash and threw the key out. Mr..
Owens uttered an exclamation OF dis

was locked in.
Under such circumstances one often
will do something ridiculous. Mr.. Ow-

CROSS CONTINENT TRAIL

Interest in the proposed national rock
highway from ocean to ocean is said TO
he increasing at a rapid rate through
out the middle west.
The Denver chamber of commerce in
a letter to the temporary committee at
Indianapolis set forth the desirability
of the midland trail through Colorado
and Utah. The letter said in part:
when the time comes for the trail
to be selected we feel confident that
Colorado and Utah will be in a position
TO come forward and tell you not what
a fine route we have or the vast amount
OF enthusiasm we have aroused here,
but rather will be able to give you
some facts and figures as to actual
cash on hand which we will be pre-
pared to put in this route and point out
some advantages of the trail which we
are sure will not be overlooked"
1t stated further that Colorado had a
fund of SI50.OOO for the purpose OF
building roads in the state and that the
road under construction for the trail
would receive an appropriation Of $751;
coo. Commissioners OF various coun
ties had agreed. il is said. to have each
appropriate $4,000 cash to match the
amount spent by the road builders in
each county.

Timely Agricultural Topics

Orchard Heaters Are Effective IN Hes-

The result of many experiments 10

tifc, practical principles. :.
There are any number of different
types OF heaters. some n mas saiu

the fuels most extensively used, n
from the testimony Of hundreds OF
fruit grower in all parts of the u
try IL would seem that oil is held In
greater favor.
The secret of success in smudging
lies in not waiting too long before
starting the fires. Everything should
be in readiness for prompt action.
The torches for starting the nres
should be close at hand and properly
prepared. The smudge pots or heaters
are placed In the orchard as soon as
the buds begin to swell, so as 10 De

fall In temperature.
Every orchardist has his W tested
thermometers. one for about every V
acres, hung on a tree. but he also
keeps In close touch with the United
States weather bureau. When the
thermometer shows signs of falling
warning is sent from the bureau TO
the fruit growers far and wide. At
the first sound of alarm the men are
up and doing.
During the smudging time, which
often extends ove a period OF from
ten to thirty hours. n man Is gen.
orally selected as foreman to oversee
a certain amount of land. direct the
several men under him and keep close
watch on the thermometers, heaters,
etc. When the signal to light up is
given each helper takes a lighted
torch and a can of gasoline and begins
to draw the covers As the cover Is
drawn a certain mount of gasoline is
thrown over the surface OF the oil.
the lighted torch Is then passed over
the heater and the fuel takes fire at
once. Immediately a dense cloud of
smoke arises and covers the region to
be protected. This prevents heat ra-
diation from the earth's surface and
safeguards the buds of the fruit trees
from the rays of the sun.-Scientific

PRUNING THE PEAR TREE.
Some General Rules For Making II
Symmetrical and Ornamental.

There is no branch OF orchard fruit
growing as much neglected as the pear
orchard. Especially In farming com
munities the natural form is the ideal
OF many farmers. In France great at
tention is given to pruning. We Amer
lean people lop or a limb here and
there. We are In too much haste aud
think II a waste Of time. There are
two types OF pruning pear trees-the
pyramid form and the vase form. The
pyramid form Is best for all dwarf
pear trees. The vase form is better
adapted TO the oriental and all stand
ard varieties. There are no rules for
the natural form. Its advocates think
that nature knows best.
The pyramidal form Is the easiest be-
cause IL conforms TO the natural tend
ency Of the tree. When the tree Is
taken from the nursery and is ready
for planting Il should be trimmed TO a
straight stick from two and a half to
three feet long. Then. when buds start
to grow. cut OF all buds below a mark
twelve or fourteen inches from tho
ground. Then let the branches grow
az VIII the first year. The second year
cut out branches where they are too
near together and cut those that have
grown to- long the first year.
During the years growth pinch back
branches that grow too rapidly. so the
young tree can be kept symmetrical
in shape. Then thin out wherever
branches seem too close together. In
topping the outer branches to make
them spread out wider leave the outer
bud on the outer branch. BY close at
tention the orchardIst can have a beau
