MANHOOD OR N0TH|NG.
Negro Students Strike.

$ ecial from Little Rock:
Branch Normal School for
colored students located at
Pine Bluff. which is AZ miles
from Little Rock, was ordered
closed by the governor Satur.
day. The alleged reason for
closing the school is said to be
that the superintendent w. S.
Harris, white. attempted to
induce a girl to take a pair of
silk stockings from him and
subject herself to immoral
practice with him. She told
her teacher of the occurrence
and he refused to investigate
it, she then carried the0stock-
ings and gave them to her
father and he came to the
school and when the youg men
heard of the affair they told
the principal about it and. he
refused to act. and they all in
a student body walked out of
the school three hundred
strong. and when the school
atsempeed 70 open- up last
Monday morning they only
had four students. and the
strikers went there and run
them all away. The board
met, and attempted to exhon-
crate Harris. saying that the
testimony against him was un-
corroborated. and yet she had
the stockings which was ply
sical fact. and the rule is, white
men think colored women
have no character and that all
men are alike. but IN TINS in-
stance he got fooled. Bishop
Chappell of the A. M. E.
Church was visiting in Pine
Bluff at the time and urged
the students to all stay away
from the school. and he was
supported by lall the other
ministers Of the city, and so
the school is closed indefinite.
If such conditions exist, the
N. A. A. C. P. Society should
interest themselves.

One of the biggest leaks in orchard
ing is the failure to support mechani-
cally weak trees. Annually many val
liable apple trees are seriously dam
aged by splitting apart of trunks,
writes G. F. Bley of New York in Ma
tional Stockman and Farmer. OF
these a considerable portion are ut
terly ruined. While the majority of
these trees have reached the stage of
incipient decay, their lives and use
fulness could have been prolonged
many years by means that are at
once simple, inexpensive and efficient.
1t should be understood that beyond
furnishing mechanical support the
heart-wood of a tree is functionless
and it's decay does not affect its vege-
tative action, nor its fruitfulness.
Thus we justify providing artificial
support and the application of tree
dentistry. Nor is the breaking apart
of tree trunk necessarily caused by
decay, or by storms, but more often
by bad formation of its framework.
A double trunk or two-pronged
crotched tree is predestined to de-
struction for the simple reason that
the strain is concentrated at a COM
paratively limited area-the point of
union of the two trunks.
Again many instances will be found
of bad head formation in which an
excess number of framework limbs
were permitted to persist Between
these limbs and the trunk at their
basal union, one or more of them by
their lateral growth gradually fill theil
respective crotches, where it creates
a wedge-like pressure. In time this
pressure forces a splitting apart o.
the trunk, resulting in the loss of the
tree.

FASHION FIXES THE PRICE
Ignorance Of Real Value Of Fabric
Plays Buyer Into Hand Of
Merchant.

That fashion and not intrinsic value
skyrockets the price Of fancy weaves
was recently acknowledged by cot
ton manufacturer, Beatrice Denison
writes in Good Housekeeping. He was
speaking of "gaberdine, the seasons
favorite.
why, do you know" he said, its
the same old imitation cotton serge
that we've been making and selling to
retailers in small towns in the South
and West for years? 1t never would
go in the large cities, but now that
it's been given this new French name
of the woolen goods so popular this
spring, we can't make enough of it.
Naturally, when the supply gets short,
the price goes up. It's our chance
and the retailer's-and we both take
IT," This is an excellent illustration
of the way in which ignorance of the
real value of fabric plays the buyer
into the hand of the merchant.

KNIFE is THE BEST WEAPON
Training Of Infantry on the Continent

to-Hand Fighting.

Today the defense stands pat on
earthworks, wire and machine guns.
The attack has tried gas. petrol. bayo-
nets, siege artillery. field artillery.
grenades and mines. and has come
out. generally speaking, second best.
Trench mortars have not developed
the requisite accuracy nor the requi-
site destructive power. High-explo-
sive shells in sufficient quantities have
accomplished the best offensive work,
and the infantry is depending more
and more on a short, heavy knife.
which is the best for work under
ground or in the dark. To sum up:
killing the defenders of a position
is accomplished by shells fired at least
two miles away on the average; and,
secondly, by what the French call
body-to body fighting, for which a
knife is the best weapon. The train
ing of infantry on the continent will.
in the future, undoubtedly include the
technique Of hand-to-hand struggles
for which physical agility and strength
must be developed.-New Republic.

A truss consisting Of an iron rod or
chain properly placed connecting the
opposing limbs and trunk or two diff
ferent limbs-as the case may be
will save the tree. Use five-eighths-
inch rod of proper length amply
threaded at each end for a nut. A
strip Of board tackled transversely on
the limbs in the location in which the
rod is to go will serve as means of
acquiring the proper length Of rod and
the angle at which holes are to be
bored. Holes should be bored with a
three-quaTter-inch auger or bit, the
size being larger than the rod will
facilitate the pushing through of the
rod. II the holes are counter-sunk
where nuts come by means of gouge
chisel, it will make better finish be-
cause the growing cambium will grow
over nut and cover work smoothly.
In using a chain instead of a rod
it is really the simpler method-a
screwhook, such as is used for a
horse hayfork, is turned into one limb
from side facing opposite limb. A
short rod amply threaded at one end
for nut with a hook at other end is
inserted through drilled hole in op-
posite limb from near side and nut
screwed on rod from outside Of that
limb. Then the chain, which is long
linked, is caught over these hooks
when screwing UP Of nut gives de
sired tension to chain.
Two dollars worth of time and ma
terial should suffice to apply such g
truss and thus be the means of saw
ing tree worth from five to fifty dol
lars.

PLANTING, PRUNING
AND CARE OF TREES
Cut Off All Dead Wood or Imper-
feet GroWth-HaVe Branches
Eight Inches Long.

Do not have the trees come until
you are ready to put them in the
ground. When they arrive, soak the
roots little while in cold water, then
examine carefully and cut OFF every
damaged root. All dead wood or I'm
perfect growth should be cut off just
before the first outbranching rootlet.
Cut from the under side in a slanting
direction, so that the exposed surface
will come in contact with the ground.
In trimming the tree, do not leave
any branch more than eight inches
long. The practice of cutting back to
within two or three feet, particularly
on very young trees, is growing and
usually gives satisfactory results.
In western Washington, where fruit
growing now has become great in
dustry, yearling trees are planted more
than any other They are cut down
to about one-third of their growth and
are every year trimmed to grow low
spreading branches. Most of the ap'
pies in that country are picked by
men standing on the ground-ladders
seldom being necessary.
Professor Bailey says that vigorous
pruning does not injure the growth of
the tree. OF course this does not mean
indiscriminating slashing of roots or
top but pruning made with care and
good judgment. If the weak roots and
branches are cut off, more strength
goes to the sound ones, and better re-
suits are obtained.
Probably the best results come from
pruning the orchard rather vigorously
every two or three years, but if one is
not an expert at pruning and cannot
obtain the right sort of help, better let
the trees alone until they can be prop.
erly pruned, even if this can be done
only once every three or four years.
