Why should we prune a citrus tree!
This j. question that has often been
asked the writer. Ii j. question that has
caused more heated discussion amongst
hort culturi>i~ and orchardists than any
other subject relating 10 the care Of trees
or the production Of fruit. The writer does
not claim To he able to settle the problem
la the satisfaction of the person who still
contends that fruit tree ought to be per
mttcd to grow a. Providence gave il to
him. and without any touch of the artii.ceS
of man. or To the satisfaction of persons
who advance theories or adopt hobbies not
based upon Il competent knowledge of pant
physiology and the experiences which have
disclosed the science.
Such IN attempt wonld be a. frut'eSS n
10 argue with the person how To find the
source of perpetual mot on. But the writer
will attempt to explain why 4 tree should
be pruned. and will Try to tell how "a do it.
leaving the reader to Judge whether IL
would he better for him TO prune his trees
in the manner ~ has been done IN Europe
for centuries past twhere land j. not n
plentiful astn this country, or 10 let h.S
trees wander in growth after their own
sweet WILL
Somewhere. sometime in the dim past,
| some person made the discovery that when
he surface of the soil around plant was
disturbed the plant seemed TO grow better
| ttoay we call this 'cultvat.on.) Ii may
have been the same person who also dis
covered that when a part Of tree was
shorn or injured by the wind or by some
MINOR disease that the parts of the tree re-
naming seemed to produce a greater guam
| titv and a larger and sometimes a better
quality of fruit to-day We call this opera
ton. when art flcia'ly performed, ''prun-
ing") This discovery was fortunate OF
unfortunate. according 10 how You look ai
il, and from the amount of fuss and tur-
moil il has caused. the ancient lady or gen
tleman who made these discoveries must
for ever rank with that other popular dis
coverer-the man who invented compound
interest.
/ For the public taste in the matter Of
fruits has greatly changed since the days
of those discoveries. and what might bt
accepted in those ancient days as n very
excellent fruit might today he discarded
~ very inferior product. Consequently
were we to ignore the benefits derived
! from the d ~coverieS of those who have
gone this way before u. and permit ON
fruit trees and other plants to grow a.
Mother Nature would grow them. we would
at some time in our history find our-c've-
IN possession Of fru, very much inferior
10 what we began with. and not at AL com
parable with the highly improved product
which results when The hand of man Joins
the works of Nature. and which seems Il
be in accordance with the plan of Provi-
dence.

10 the fruits of the past. % may we expect
the fruits of the future To he far superior

 He carries back the spectactor to the ancient city of Babylon and re- produces with an accuracy that has brought the commendation of scholars the wonderful temple of Melshazdar the great walls of the city, and a populace living according to the mode of that period.
 Of course, it would not be possible to reproduce in every detail the act ions of people as determined by rules and laws, but Griffith in his research discovered many things that were of service to him in giving verisimili- tude to the production. He was not surprised when he discovered that people loved and hated, fought and died much as they do today.
 In Intolerance" Griffith shows the Babylonian wedding market. In those market places not only fathers, but brothers, also sold their women re latives into marriage, and the price paid for pretty girls was generally uSGQ StS Cllc JULIUS lItetl iIluuStu HIGH to purchase homely girls. Some times brides were required to bring divorces, but the property she pos sessed remained her own. :. The mar riages were partly religious in char acter and partly civil 4.

Judging from it's long and highly successful engagements in Chicago, Philadelphia Pittsburgh, San Francisco and Los Angeles it's popularity will more than rival that of "rhe Birth of Ma tion."

ORPHEO TO-DAY

The one and only Mary Garden is the star of "Thais," the new Goldwyn phctoplay from the famous novel by Anatole France, which is to bo seen at the Orpheo Theatre today. It is Miss Gardens first photoplay.
 "Thais" tells the story of beauty of ancient Alexandria who is noto- rious for her many love affairs. A wealthy young man named Paphnut- jus is attracted by Thais, but leaving her home one evening, is set upon by jealous rival whom he stays in self defense. Having lately become a convert to Christianity from his pag- an belief. he knows that murder is a crime against Heaven, and in his great remorse he becomes a monk and goes far out on the desert to live in expation of his sin.
 While he becomes known through out the world for his sanctity, Thais becomes the very queen of riotous liv- ing. Then Paphnutius conceives the idea that it would give the Cause of Christianity great impetus if he could convert Thais, so he goes to her home dressed in the rich garments of a friend over his coarse monks robe. and notifies her of his intention. At first she is amused and then fright tned as he follows her everywhere. And at last she yields to him, gives away or destroys all her worldly pos sessions and follows him off into the desert where she becomes nun.
 Flushed with his victory over sin, Paphnutius returns to his holy broth CTS. But despite his high resolves, he has fallen madly in love with Thais.
