interests are extensive, while in the

generally throughout the states, prin-

Climate is the most potent limiting
influence in the distribution of fruits
so far as the natural surroundings are
concerned. Of the various elements of
climate, temperature probably more
often governs in this respect than any
other single factor. This becomes evil

piece of three-fourth-inch gas pipe. A
few feet of garden hose is then at
tached to the pipe and extended down
to the roots. Now choose root about
the same size as the pipe and cut 1t
off so as to fit tightly into, and form
a tight plug for, the free end of the
hose. The bucket may then be filled
with water and hung from one of the
lower limbs of the tree. The root will
take sufficient moisture from the sup
ply in the bucket to maintain life until
the other roots are ready for work.

MIKE GIBBONS TRAINS
 UNCLE SAM'S FIGHTERS

1 New York, Dec. 6.-Mike Gibbons. mlddleweight excellent is, as a matter of fact, too busy to bother about a little thing like a mere fight between a couple of professional scrappers. That is, Mikes too busy to bother about the mine-run variety of box fights, for Mike is spending his time these days clubbing a bunch of young huskies into fighting shape at Ft. Dodge, which lies just out of Des Moines, Iowa.
 Mike had chance to take on Harry Greb in an encounter at Pittsburg and was ready to sign articles until con- ditions were imposed he didn't like, so he requested Eddie Kane, his manager to call off proceedings and let him keep on teaching the soldiers how to box.
 "Why, Mike is so wrapped up in this thing l can hardly get him to talk fight" said Kane recently. "He got out of bed one morning at 6 o'clock and went out to the camp to watch the soldiers go through their calisthenics. He wanted see it all and learn it, for he is going to intro duce Mike Gibbons system to those fellows. He certainly is getting won derful results with the work he all ready has started"
 Mike himself talked a little about the jabs and right crosses he is put ting into the hearts of the men. He enthused all over himself, and getting Mike to say few dozen words is like prying hard-boiled egg loose from dime.
 The boys in Ft. Dodge are getting the benefit of boxing instruction from postmaster at the art It is ex- tremely doubtful if the fight game ever has been a more accomplished master of the mitt than Mike of St. Paul. He is an adept at feinting with his head. His footwork is a revela- tion, and he combines with these graces, the knack of being able to drive home punch with murderous effect. Mikes record doesn't boast of a long line of knockouts, but he has the ability to put the sleep punch over, and sometimes does it. His teaching should be the means of making ex- cellent boxers of many men in the division to which he has been as signed.
 Bayonet work has been found to combine the work of the boxer and the 1 bayonet expert. Mikes feinting, his ducking and countering should be a handy thing for these young soldiers i to have around

bOSS UPHAM ORDERS NEW
COAL STRIKE FOR CHICAGO
Boss Fred Upham, coal king Of the
middle west and prominent Repubi-
can politician, who made Mayor
Thompson jump at the snap of his
fingers Saturday, has announced
that in spite of the big profits made
this winter by him and the other coal
barons of Chicago, coal will advance
10 cents ton after April 1.
Upham uses the coal teamsters'
strike as his excuse now. He didn't
think it necessary to make any ex-
cusein October when he and his pals
raised the price of coal to sky-touch-
ing attitudes. And Fred, as usual,
has the controlled newspapers with
him. The Tribune, Herald and Daily
News have had editorials blaming
the union leaders, particularly Milton
Booth, for the strike.
Investigation shows that the coal
kings and the Coal Team Owners
assn brought on the strike them
selves by their hoggishness. This
winter the coal companies made
more money than they ever made be-
fore. They had the people by the
throat and they made them give up
exorbitant prices in order to obtain
fuel for their homes and offices.
And all this time they worked the
teamsters as high as Is and 16 hours
a day; they forced them to haul as
high as five and six loads day. Their
agreement with the union called for
the payment of St for each load
drawn after three loads a day. If
three loads were not hauled the
teamster was fined 81. The bosses
enforced the fine whenever, by a
breakdown or any other cause, the
three loads were not hauled, but they
violated their agreement by refusing
to pay extra for all loads above
three
