Plant Fruit Trees at Once.

All perfectly hardy trees
should be transplanted in the
fall rather than the following
spring if we can rely upon the
results of tests made at the Mis-
souri, Agricultural Experiment
Station. Johnathan apple trees
planted in the fall made nearly
twice as good a growth as those
planted the next spring. Of
cherry trees transplanted in the
spring of 1914 survived the dry
summer of that year. Those
which did live made only a quar-
ter as good a growth as those
planted the fall before. This
comparison is based mainly on
the terminal growth or length
added to the branches which is a
very important means of telling
how an orchard is thriving. Even
peach trees and others less
hardy than apple and cherry
trees do better when fall planted
in the Southern quarter of Mis-
souri,. Fall planting is better
even farther north if followed by
a mild winter but a severe win
ter is likely to kill the trees.
In ordering fruit trees for fall
planting, insist that they be dug
and shipped just when the leaves
begin to fall and the remaining
leaves can be easily stripped
from the nursery stock. These
young, rapidly growing trees
hold their leaves from two weeks
to a month longer than those in
the orchard which have been
bearing for some time. During
most seasons the best time for
transplanting is during the first
half of November but nlantinO
any time before the ground
freezes has been found to give
better results than spring plant

Up from the tree stump with re-

danced about in a state of tremendous
excitement.
Then he laughed. Then his face
grew serious as he grappled with a
mighty problem. He Strengthened up,
practicing dignity, ~sternness, indifer-

with a new bearing. He burst in upon

Dillon will be called before Chief
Healey this morning to explain his
order.
Miss Ellen Gates Starr told how
Harry Waxman had been slugged in
the presence of policemen who did
not attempt to interfere; how they
had obtained John Doe warrants for
these two men and how they were
taken into custody by Detectives
O'Connor and Hans of the Desplaines
street station. The next morning she
called up the station and was told the
men had not been arrested. A short
time later she was told they had been
arrested but not booked. An hour
later the sergeant told her the men
had been booked and discharged IN
court for want of prosecution.
Waxman, who was present, showed
his bandaged head to the aldermen
and stated that the detectives had not
informed him as to when the "slug-
gers would be arraigned in court.
These facts combine to make it
appear that the police are helping
these private policemen as much as
possible" Miss Starr said 'In my
opinion these hired gunner are the
crux of the whole matter. If we could
find way to censor them we would
find a way out of this situation"

Little Deceiver"-I found the story
of 1.-THE Little Deceiver," which was
written by H. S. Sheldon, quite at
fecting as told in pictures and also
possessing steady interest. The story
has also the charm of being different
from the ordinary rum in that girl
of seventeen poses as a boy until the
close, when the revealing of her sex
brings joy to her obdurate old uncle
ard a sweetheart to her old pal, who
had taken a liking to her at a time
when she passed for only "sissified"
boy.
Edna Mayo carries the part of the
"boy-girl' very happily. She makes a
very nice boy indeed, with just suffi-
Gent femininity disclosed to impress
us that she is capable actress. In
the scene where the "boy-girl" has dis
carded her boyish apparel and appears
before her uncle for the first time in
rightful attire, Miss Mayo makes a
very attractive figure It is the first
time In moving pictures that l have
been able to see Miss Mayo's features
to advantage, and a most engaging
and winsolne young lady was revealed.

dress her hair SO that we can see

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.

For over year Mr.. Samuel H. Lon
don, the former international investi-
gator, has been at work preparing a
motion picture which would demon
stra-e the inside workings of the much
discussed and alarming traffic in white
slaves. His idea was primarily to
show it privately and before specially
selected audiences where it might do
the greatest amount of good, but upon
seeing the result of his work, those
most interested in the expose and
final determination of this revolving
vice have urged public exhibition of
this remarkable film in order to assure
the greatest possible circulation and
scope. 1t is in many ways the most
astonishing picture ever taken and it's
truth is vouched for by authorities on
the subject.

Thou Shalt Not Lie"-Billy Gar
wood and Violet Merserean are the
leaders. Mothers and fathers who
teach their children to be absolutely
truthful under any and all circum-
stances are many times embarrassed
by being given away" by their off
spring, while telling little social fibs.
In Thou Shalt Not Lie" a two-reel
Imp drama, this idea has been car
ried to it's logical conclusion, and a
reformed bank thief, who has taught
his child to tell the truth no matter
what happens, is unconsciously be-
trayed and delivered over into the
hands of the law. Willing to abide by
the results of the ironclad principle
he had inculcated in his child, the re-
formed fugitive from justice gives
himself into the hands of detective
who has been trailing him, but the
latter decides to give the former bank
teller a chance and frees him.

Bound on the Wheel'-Like father
like SON. It's an old adage, but is
based on truth The habits, the good
points and the failings of the parent
re-appear in the offspring almost in
variably. The craving for liquor, sci
entists have noted, has been trans
mitted from father to son in numerous
instances, and where the son possesses
the physical and mental characteris-
tics of his parent, the faults of the
father likewise crop out at maturity.
