Mystery play to be shown at the Re

Mystery is the essence of interest.
The most engrossing fiction in the
world is mystery fiction Poe's was
the master mind at creating and de-
veloping mystery.
In novel, new play or news

tusl Powell motion picture star.
Miss Rsmbsau is given one of the
most remarkable mystery characters

with startling episode and situation
but battling mystery up to the in
slant of the sensational denCuement.

street one day, who, while shabbily
dressed, has the air of gentility.
While specializing as to her family
connections. he sees a shady-looking
man hand the girl q glittering dis-
mond necklace, which she conceals and
then vanishes iu the crowd.
Later, at the home OF friend, be
is amazed to meet the girl. She is as
charming in conversation as in APP
pearance and manner. To entertain
her friends she picks their pockets
with professional skill, later returning
the property with laughter.
Bucklan5 determines to solve the
mystery.
Is Miss Dawson a kleptomaniac?
Is she the accomplice of professional
thieves?

Pruue Your Trees This Month

October is the month to prune the
trees, advises the American Forestry
Association in a bulletin issued last
week In this report the Association,
which publishes the American For
estry Magazine, offers the following
timely suggestions for the caring of
trees this month
"Prune all dead branches. The adj
vantage of this work now before the
leaves fall is because one can distin-
guish the dead from the live better
at this time than in winter; because
one can climb better now than in the
winter when the trees are Covered
with ice and snow; because the
branches are not so brittle and also
because the trees will now suffer
much less from bleeding, etc.
Take care of all wounds Use coal
Tar and creosote to cover all exposed
wood. and be sure to remove all de-
cayed and diseased wood in the treat
ment of the wounds. Be sure to de-
stroy nests of the fall web-worm.
FERTILE with well-rotted manure
all weak trees and evergreens. Spray
for scale insects, but before doing this
determine the character of the insect
and receive specific instructions as to
the strength of the solution and what
materials to use, as well as the best
time for doing the work.
.-Thin apple trees and other fruit
trees if necessary Pick off gals on
small ornamental eyergreens. Plant
deciduous trees and shrubs. Poplars,
magnolia trees. willows and oaks had
better be planted in early spring. bur
other trees, such as naples. lindens,
etc. can be planted in October"
