Minimum Consistent with
Any Effort.

New York May 29.-Holiday conditions
ruled in the stock market today Deal
ing contracted TO about the lowest mini
mum consistent with the maintenance
of trading efforts of any sort, The course
OF prices through the greater part OF the
day was irregular with some superhclaI
heaviness in various directions, notably
the coppers General motors dropped
violently but no significance attaches TO
the action of such a volatile and highly
specialized description. In the afternoon
here was a little display of animated
strength in rubber and tire issues
Throughout the session vigorous firm
ness was exhibited by leading rails con-
spicuousIy Lehigh Valley, Reading ano
Norfolk and Western. There was gen
eral upturn in the late trading and the
closing tone was one of quiet strength,

too, by beating It"
Naturally. Mr.. Pickens was ruffed

Maybe I am was the reply, but you
are grabbing this picture"

He refers to the patriotic tune Wake

loaded, two-column editorial about it.
The publishers were almost overcome
with the outburst Of publicity.
Said Mr.. Brisbane: The song ought to
be sung in every theater, IN every house

about England. She was half asleep. and
If she had not had the good fortune TO be

She was dressed in an evening gown

Pear Orchards Profitable.

Pear orchards, where conditions are
favorable, may be more profitable than
an apple orchard. for the reason that
pears are not so generally grown as
apples. The pear delights ina clay
soil and Is not so apt TO crop regularly
on a loamy soil. and trees on the latter
seem more susceptible 20 attacks from
disease than the former
When the orchard IL first set corn
can be grown with the pear trees to
advantage Cultivation should be dis
continued early In July and a cover
crop OF vetch or clover sowed.
In cultivating In orchards OF any kind
care must be exercised not 20 cultivate
deeply near the trees. Late cultivation
is not desirable around trees OF any
kind. as II encourages late growth In
stead of permitting the wood to hard
en- sufficiently before winter weather
sets In. As the trees grow older more
fertilizer will be required. Pear trees
require but light pruning each year
shortening back the new growth some.
aud the trees must be regularly spray.

should be thinned. as Is common with
peaches
