o'clock and their employees joined
in the merrymaking.
Automobiles caught the spirit
OF fun. too. They frolicked and
reared on their left hind wheel.
or any old wheel at all, to the
JOY of the crowds on the street
corners. They would run down
the hills as meek as little lambs,
then OF sudden they would balk,
wheel around and leave crazy
tracks in the snow.
Quiet in Cafes.
1t was nothing serious--just
fun.
The last night in the cafes was
quiet, free from rowdyism.
Groups of jewellers sat at the ia

while they buried old King Booze
with songs of "How Dry / Am"
and awaited the coming Of the
brand new day.
Resignation Everywhere.
In the saloon the Upper drain
ed off his last full glass In quiet
forgetfulness, while the old
timer slipped thoughtfully at his

An air Of resignation marked the
groups.
There was no whining nor
whimpering, and little cursing.
The young spirit which the
baby New Year, with all its new
ness, brought ran through the
heart Of Tacoma, and everybody
was happy.

A clean, white New Year.

When the city hall clock struck
midnight and factory whistles
footed a noisy welcome, young
1915 was wrapped In a
feathery blanket.
Old wet 1915 passed silently
away, celebrating the event not
with a boisterous booze party, but
with a good old-fashioned, slip
perry sliding, snow frolic.
Everybody Happy.
A pedestrian picked his way
down Ninth street with a bundle
under his arm. What was in that
bundle? Z-i-i-ip! There was a
flourish of two legs and several
arms, all beating the air at once.
and a half dozen bowls of hot
Chilli went rolling joyously down
the icy hill.
The crowd howled in glee,
while the victim brushed off his
hat and watched for the next one.
1t was a happy New Year.
Boys and Girls In Snow.
Tacoma men and women Joined

They became small boys and girls

For the maidens who

pid offers three youth of
the vintage of the '70's.
Jim Junett, John Forbes
and Charles Evans are
nicely aged and have sown
their oats. BY vintage OF
the '70's We mean corners

decade; when this trio was
born we are not hardy

Jim is docile as a clam

crackie, his blood just
boils. His leading ac-
plishment is twirling his
baton. John Forbes also
came to Tacoma when it
was as young as 1915 is
today. He knows a thing
or two, having benin the
police force for many
years. retiring with hon.
orable mention as police
captain and an unsnaired
great aorta.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Making the Little
Farm Pay
BY c. G. BOWSFIELD


Neglect of fruit growing is fragrant
in the middle west, but the modern
idea Of securing larger returns per
acre from the land will in a few years
result in a revival Of horticulture.
No matter how large or how small a
farm is nor where it Is situated, if
timber will grow there, wise land
owners will give q reasonable amount
Of attention to fruit They will man
age their orchards intelligently and
make them pay at the rate of 5000 to
$500 an acre. As land grows in value
farms naturally decrease in size and
owners come to realize the need of
making every acre count to the ut
most of it's earning capacity without
destroying soil fertility
Experts fully agree that orchard land
may be made to return a good income
while the young trees are coming to
maturity. There are many crops that
can be handled in an orchard without
hurting either soil or trees, and per-
sons cultvating small tracts will feel
like using them to make the ground
profitable every year instead of wait
ing five or six years for the fruit trees
to mature.
I am more and more convinced of
the wisdom of planting fruit trees far
Their apart than is customary. Forty
feet apart each way is none too much
for apples, pears and cherries, but
while the root system of these trees is
developing there is a good opportunity

YOUNG FRUIT TREES COMING TO MATURITY.

| YOUNG FRUIT TREES COMING TO MATURITY.
to raise a variety Of crops in the Or
chard. Even after the trees are in
bearing there will be little harm in cul-
tivating vegetables and flowers be-
tween the rows, provided care is shown
in working the land. Raspberries and
currants will work nicely in this scheme
for few years and perhaps perma-
nently. Beans and peas are excellent
crops to raise in an orchard, as they
pay we'll, are good nitrogen gatherers
and do not interfere with the roots of
the trees in ordinary cultivation.
Bushes and crops of all kinds should
be kept few feet away from the
| trees.
| Apple trees will thrive and do well
on almost any soil which has had good
preparation, but different kinds of soil
require different treatment Loamy
land is naturally rich in plant food.
Hence it will require little if any ma
nuring in it's preparation. But it should
| be deeply stirred and thoroughly brok-
en- up by subsoiling. This loamy earth
| is what may be termed free soil, as it
seldom becomes compacted.
A clay soil is the most difficult to
prepare and often requires manuring
as we'll as thorough blowing and sub
soiling. It should also be frequently
stirred during the summer and espe-
cially as soon after each rainfall as
possible to prevent it from baking and
becoming compacted. This becomes
even more important in seasons of long
droughts. Persons putting in large or
chards will do we'll to study the sub
ject Of dynamiting the ground, espe-
cially if the soil is heavy. Sandy land
is generally lacking in plant food.
An elevated bit of land is best for
fruit, but while gentle slope is rec
commended steep hillside is not de-
sirable. Good results usually follow
from spring planting, and the young
trees may be either one year or two
years old.
Apples are a profitable crop in all
states which produce timber, and there
are hardy varieties which grow well in
the extreme north. For New England,
New York, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illi-
nois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Canada and
northern localities generally the fol-
lowing varieties of apple are suggest
ed: Yellow Transparent, Early Harvest,
Red Astrakhan, Duchess Of Oldenburg,
