dared enter the young millionaire's
mansion and carry him away? The
police are completely at sea when the
girl detective takes charge Of the case.
Brilliant work results In the discov-
cry OF a clue which takes the girl
sleuth to the rendezvous Of band OF

ganization, the girl detective cleyerly
wins her friendship.
1t develops that Warrington had
joined the band under the impression
that it was devoted to noble purposes.

kidnapped him with the idea Of com.
pe,iing him to pay heavy sum for his
freedom But the girl detective foils
the band and brings the anarchists to
justice. See this episode and learn

Pruning Fruit Trees.

The aim of every grower, ever
If only a few trees are to be had
should be to produce annual crop
OF high quality fruit. This il
impossible unless systemati,
pruning is practiced. The worl
OF pruning cannot be learned ir
a day. In the beginning one
must exercise a little common
sense, and in a short while the
art will be acquired. First class
tools are indispensable. Secure
a pruning saw. hand shears, and
q pair of long handled loppers.
Study the individual tree and de-
eide upon the parts to be remov-
ed before beginning to work.
The peach can be severely
pruned each season. This is
essential in order to keep the
bearing surface close to the
ground. An open center tree is
most desirable. Each winter re-
move from one-third to two
thirdsof thepast season S growth.
The growth of the peach is al
ways progressive. and unless
kept in bounds the fruiting wood
will be far above ground-a brush
pile in the air.
Due to the widespread ravages
OF the fire blight, care should be
exercised in the pruning of the
pear trees and those varieties of
apples that are susceptible. This
disease is exceedingly destruc-
tive to tender, succulent growth,
and since heavy pruning induces
wood growth, it is essential that
care be exercised to remove only
q moderate amount of wood each
year. Remove and destroy all
diseased branches, disinfectinp
tools and wounds with a
solution of corrosive sublimate

Pay Your Poll Tax.

Your poll tax for 1915 is now due,
and you should not forget to pay it be-
fore December 81. Remember that you
must have your poll tax receipts for
1914 and 1915 if you expect to vote in
the primary election January rs. 1916.
II you failed to pay your 1914 poll tax
on or before December 81 of that year.
you are disfranchised, and cannot vote
in the January primary election, nor
IN the general election in April. See
to paying your poll tax, and do not al
low yourself to become Squaw Man.
