they should.

Trees and Shrubs
For Private Yards

What kind OF trees shall we plant
to beautify our grounds?
What shrubs would be suited to our
school yards?
These are questions which are fire.
quently asked the United States de-
partment of Agriculture. Soil and eli
mate conditions differ so greatly in
the different sections of the United
States that in answering such Ques-
tons special consideration has to be
given each section. The department
specialist has prepared q special list
of trees and shrubs suited for general
use on private grounds, streets, pri-
vate parks and school yards of Indiana.
These lists are merely suggestive, but
they include such trees and shrubs as
seem well adapted to the particular
locality. and they may be Of assistance
to those who are interested In the
Identification Of towns and cities.
Here is list:
Deciduous Trees-Sugar maple, Nor
way maple. silver maple, green ash.
white ash, American white elm, red
oak, white oak, pin oak, American ill.,
den.
Evergreen Trees--Norway spruce.
white spruce, Colorado blue spruce,
white pine, Scotch pine. balsam flr.
Shrubs-Lilac, golden bell, exochor-
da. SNOWFALL, mock orange, hydrangea,
Japan ounce, Towering currant, caly-
canthus, cornus. deutzia. spirea, wei

mains. Dig holes at least two feet in
diameter and one foot deep in good
soil, and make them four feet across
IN poor soil. The sides Of the holes
should be perpendicular and the bot.

OF the hole to the depth Of the length

inches of fine top soil, free from sod
or other decomposing organic matter.
In the bottom of the hole On top OF

them as evenly as possible over the
bottom of the hole. and cover with two
or three inches Of fine top soil as be-
fore. Tramp firmly with the feet and

the surface loose and q little higher
than the surface of the surrounding
soil. When the work of planting is
completed, the tree should stand about
two inches deeper than 1t stood in the
nursery.
In order to insure symmetry Of

Philadelphia fans are wondering of
some horrible catastrophe won't come
as a result of Connie Mack's advocacy
of the tango as one of the training
stunts for his athletes.
Connie wants his boys to dance,
provided, of course, that they quit
dancing in time to beat the milkman
to the back porch. Connie is of the
opinion that the new dances develop
gracefulness and speed, and that if
his players do the tango it will III
crease their speed on the bases and in
the field.
The Quaker City fans, however. fear
that if the players get the tango fever
they will be inclined to bunny hug
and hesitate every time a strain OF
music is waited to their ears. That
condition would give the opposing
team a chance to inject brass into

THROAT CUT
Family Fight As An Incident
To The COlOred Ex-

PARTIES ARE FROM TRENTON.
Narrow Escape From a Killing
on a Public Street
Here.
PARTIES ARE FROM TRENTON.

A negro excursion from Bowling
Green came to Hopkinsville Sunday
and among those who Joined it en-
route were Obediah Standard and
wife, of Trenton. Late Sunday af-
ternoon the couple got into fight at
the corner of Seventh and Clay
streets and engaged in a scuffle over
a penknife said to belong to the wo.
man. The man finally secured the
knife and knocked his wife down and
sitting astride of her body made
two vicious attempts to kill her with
the knife. Starting at the back of
her neck be drew the blade around
first one side and then the other to
the front. the last cut breaking the
knife blade. A deep cash was made
on each side of the woman's throat,
but the jugular vein was missed. The
fight was stopped at that stage and
Officer Shanklin took Standard to
Jail. His wife was taken to a physi-
clans Office and her wounds were
dressed. She'is the cook in the fam
lily of Mr.. Chas. Crutchfield, who
happened to be in town and paid her
surgeons bill and took her home,
She was badly hurt, bat able to
make the short trip. Standard will
be held pending action by the grand
jury. Both parties. it is said, were
drinking, and an effort will be made
to find where they got liquor on Sun
day.

Rayburn WeatherS Shot To
Death and Four Others
Wounded.
TWO ARRESTS ARE MADE
General Mix-up at Jim COx'S
Cabin North of
Town.

There was a bloody and fatal mix
up Saturday night at a colored fish,
fry near this city, in which one man
was killed and two others wounded.
The festival was at the home of jim
Cox, north of town, near Mr.. Low
Johnson's.
Late in the night pistols were
brought into play and the affair
broke up in what seemed to be g
general row.
Rayb Weathers, probably by
stander, was shot and killed.
Jake Cox and Maxey Hanna were
both shot in the leg, probably by
each other. Their wounds are not
serious.
Sheriff Jewell Smith and Deputy
Herbert Johnson at 2:90 o'clock Sun
day morning arrested both Cox and
Hanna and lodged them in Jail.
AS the investigation will be made
in the grand jury room, the particu'
lars of the affair are very meagre.
