WATER SPROUTS PRUNED OUT
Too Much Moisture Is Used by Them
in Time of Drought-Crop Shows
Up Much Better.

Water sprouts and surplus limbs
in time of drought; prune out those
which are not needed on the tree and
save the water for the ripening fruit;
fruit won't mature where shaded by
sprouts.
The crop shows up better where the
tree is kept pruned, admitting sun,
light and air. and enables the buyer
to see the fruit better. These state
ments are not guesses or mere opin-
ions. They are some of the things
that have been proved by careful tests

that people were observing them and

Dear Miss Libbey: / am glad you

have long had serious thoughts con-

girl looking for soft place makes
shiftless wife. That girl is afraid of
work. She'd feed husband on deli
catessen and bakery stuff until he lost
all vigor and all the blood in his
veins and was unable to work. She
would not make fit mother, knowing
little or nothing about children. The
girl who makes her own living in a
good home of others is fitting herself
day by day to care for q home of her
own when she gets one. The study of
the married life of young couple is
worth something to her. Above all,
the study of child-life is the greatest
lesson a young woman can learn and
profit by later on. She sees how to
care for the infant, the toddler and
the older ones, what is for their we'll
being or dangerous for them. 1t is
brought to her attention what they
thrive on or what they may sieken
under. She learns the value of home
cooking, the greatest knowledge on
earth. The careful mother of grow

running q home. Such girl soon be-
comes fitted to be the ablest kind of
aid to poor man who might we'd her.

GREENEVILLE
Community Parade Big Suceess-Mis- sionary Society Meets-Loyal Find : CTS to Meet.

Greene7ii1e is at last waking up and showing some community spirit. Wednesday morning a large number turned out to participate In Greene ville's second Fourth of July parade. The parade which traversed the prin- cipal streets of the village received a tremendous ovation. The idea WAS started last year, when Mrs. Gilchrist, Mrs. Douglass and Mir. Carpenter were the organizers of a small parade. their initial effort. The parade WAS a community in the fullest and best sense of the word, as every one took hold and did their bit.
 There were several floats in the pro cessfon, besides numerous tahleaux. Uncle Sam and his wife Miss (Mrs.) Liberty, Billy McClafferty's Greeneville 1917 and the Spirit of '76 were all present. One very pretty feature of the parade was the carrying of two large American flags, one %hy twenty five boys the other by twenty five girls. A fife and drum corps, led by Arthur McDouga1. furnished music for the inarchers. Bradford Ricketts was wheeling a gai1y decorated baby car riage.
 Among those who took part were Andrew and Mary Mclaughlin, Fra nk Crocker, Oscar Carpenter, Archibald GilchIist, Charles Twist, Bradford Ricketts and John Scott The success of the affair was due largely to the un tiring effort of Oscar w Carpen- ter. It is hoped that next year the people of Greeneville will get together in such 8 communal spirit that an even bigger parade may be staged.

FOUR SLACkERS NABBED.
SpeiIacy Says Towns Were Requesed to Report Names, But Only Two Have Done So.

When United States District Attor- ney Spellacy has been asked about registration 'slackers" in Connecti- cut. he said
 Up to date there have been four slackers reported to the district at torney's office from different points in the state and four s1ackers have been arrested. In q statement issued by me and supplemented by Governor Hoicomb all registration boards in the state were requested to report to me as district attorney after June 27 the names Of stac<ers in the towns and state some claim of proof against the alleged siac<ers.
 So far the town clerks of Thomas ton and Granby are the only ones who have made 2 report. Tlomaston re- ports no slacSers and 100 per cent. registration. The clerk also gives a comD&ete explanation of the list of names supposed 10 be slac6ers. There was 8 mistake in the name, or the individual belonged to some other town was 31 years old or over. The list from Granby was a very short one without details on which I could start any sort of prosecution
 Judge Edwin s. Thomas of the United States district court will hold a special session of the federal court about the middle Of the month if in the meantime sufficient number of cases of evading registration are sub n1itted to District Attorney SpeIIacy to warrant holding court at that time to dispose of them.
