ever. are only fair, but their chances would be poor at best with the parts they have, this matters little. Henry Sherwood gives one of the most con- pletely perfect parts in the play. As character actor he might have stepped out of a Davis story. His makeup was supurb. Godfrey Mat thews makes manly hero, but Martha McGraw is not as strong in her role opposite. In the character part of the Texan, James Seeley does some fine work, complete and satisfactory in this land where the Texan is not entirely unknown.
 There are two exceedingly difficult parts in "The Flame" They are handled well, by June Hawthorne and Louis Ancker. The formers part is one which is rather hard to understand, but she does well with the role of a tropical mystic, such a role, reduced to the demands of the burning sun near the equator, as the fairy in a fairy tale. That she is able to give the audience a grasp of the part at all is a wonder in itself, for one must have at least visited Hawaii to understand a soul with such a mentality.
 "The Flame" burns again at a mat inee today and goes out-out of town after tonights performance. It should prove an enjoyable entertainment to those who relish the unusual, especially when it is well acted and finely staged.

MAN LISTED
 NUT S[ACKER

Another error in the list of those who have not returned their question nalres, as made by the local board of Maricopa county. has been discovered and another name has been included among those of alleged slackers that should not be found there.
 J. B. Wills, a brother of Mrs. W. E. White, had been exempted from mill ltary service for the very obvious req son that one foot had been amputated. Following this exemption, he moved to Mounds, Oklahoma. With the new rul- ing of the selective service regulations that all old exemptions are to be disre- sarded and that everyone must fill out and return euestionnaire, MT. Wills was sent a questionnaire. Because of his removal from the state, his uues t1onnaire was delayed in reaching him ana he therefore was unable to get it back in time, his sister says, and so his name was wrongly included among the "slackers."

REGISTRATION
 FUR ELECTION
 |S VERY LARGE

With two assistant registrars on duty through each day, City Clerk Frank Thomas reports a very satisfactory re- sponse to the call for registration for the approaching city primaries and general election. The books for regis tration have been open more than a week and several hundred names have already been enrolled, It is impossible at this time to make anything like an estimate of the probable enrolment but it is expected it will be the largest for a municipal election in the history of the city.
 Each registrant now receives a car bon copy of his registration paper, thereby placing himself in a position to prove that he is registered in the event his name should fail to appear on the poll list at the voting precincts. Incidentally, material aid is being given registration through keeping the regis tration offices open each day during the noon hour. Later it is possible the offices will be kept open portion of each evening.
 Registration books will close on the evening of February IS, or ten days before the primary election. They will be reopened for supplemental regis tration seven days after the pri- maries and will close finally ten days before the general election.
 As yet no petitions of candidates for nominations at the primaries have been filed with the city clerk, but it is expected that these will begin com ing in within the next few days. There are three offices to fill at the approach ing election, that of mayor, as well as of two commissioners, each to serve terms of two years.
 Mayor Corpstein and Commissioners James A. Jones and Frank Woods are the retiring officers. Commissioners George N. MacBean and Charles H Dunlap each have another year to serve. Commissioner Woods has al ready announced his candidacy for mayor. Whether Mayor Corpstein or Commissioner Jones will be candidates to succeed themselves has not yet been announced.

In an announcement from the Pacific Gas & Electric company, made through The Republican, an argument was pre- sented in favor of baking bread at home. A recipe was given in which there was an error which might spoil a lot of flour if literally followed. The correct recipe should call for quart of lukewarm water, a cake of compressed yeast, two teaspoonfuls of salt, three quartes of sifted flour, heaping table, spoonful of lard and a like amount of sugar As printed the amount of flour was put at three cups" instead of three ''quartes," as it should have been,

TOP-WORKlNG OF PEACH TREE
Change of One Variety to Another May
Be Done by Shield Budding or
by Grating.

prepared by the United States DEPART
ment of Agriculture.)
Sometimes it is desirable to change
the top of q peach tree from one va
riety to another. A grower may find
after his orchard begins to bear that
he has larger number of trees of
some variety than he wants; a block
of trees may prove to be some other
variety than the one ordered; or,
for some other reason, a variety is not
well adapted to the needs of the own
er. In such cases he may top-work the
tree either by budding or by grating
to a desirable variety.
The ordinary method of shield bud
ding is most commonly used for this
purpose. II the tree to be tOp-worked
is not more than two or three years
old 1t is usually practicable to insert
the buds directly into the main limbs
we'll down toward the point where
they leave the trunk.
If the tree to be top-budded has
reached the age when the bark on the
main limb has become too thick and
firm to be manipulated readily for bud
ding, 1t is necessary first TO head 1t
back somewhat, as when the top is to
be replaced with new growth of the
same variety, and later insert buds
on the new branches that develop
after the tree has been deheaded.
When this course is followed the buds
should be inserted in the new growth
as near the trunk as is practicable,
in order to have as large a portion of
the top as possible of the new variety.
This is also desirable on account of
the subsequent management of the
tree.
TOp-wOrking is sometimes done by
grating instead of budding, the or
dinary cleft graft being generally
used. However, budding is to be pre-
ferred, especially as the wounds made
in grating do not heal readily in the
case Of the peach, though when prop
erly done the union of stock and
scion is generally strong enough to
make a fairly serviceable tree. But
trouble resulting from difficulties in
the healing of the wound are likely
to occur.

SIRUP OR MOLASSES IS USED
Coarse-FIaked Bran Is Most Desirable
Although Ordinary Middlings or
Alfalfa Meal May Be Substitute
ed-Sow Broadcast

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agricultural
Poisoned bait has proved to be a
simple, reliable and cheap method of
destroying grasshoppers. 1t is made
up as follows: Wheat bran, twenty
five pounds; paris green or crude ar
senic, one pound; lemons or oranges,
six finely chopped fruits; low-grade
molasses, such as refuse from sugar
factories, or cattle molasses, known as
"black strap" two quarts; water, two
to four gallons. The bran and poison
are thoroughly mixed while dry, the
chopped fruits are then added, and
lastly the molasses and water are
poured over the bait and the whole
thoroughly kneaded. A coarse-flaked
bran is most desirable, although where
this cannot be obtained easily ordinary
middlings or alfalfa meal may be sub
stituted.
Sirup or Moasses Essential.
Low-grade, strong sirup or
molasses is essential to the entire sue
cess of the undertaking. Crushed ripe
tomatoes, watermelons or lines may
be substituted for the lemons or or
anges, if necessary. In California and
other semiarid regions water should
be added to the bait at the rate OF four
gallons to twenty-five pounds OF bran,
as In these climates the bait dries out
very rapidly and the extra moisture is
necessary in order to attract the grass
hoppers. Five to seven pounds of the
mixture should be estimated per acre.
Another Good Bait.
Another effective bait of similar
character is the modified Criddle mix
ture. This is prepared as follows:
Fresh horse droppings, one-half bar

pound; finely chopped oranges or lem

Distributing Bats.

The time of day chosen for distrib-
uting the poisoned bait is important.
In semiarid regions the bait should be
distributed in late afternoon or early
evening, just before the grasshoppers
ascend the plants on which they usual
ly pass the night. Apparently they are
hungry and thirsty at this time and
greedily take the bait if it be avail
able. In the moister portions of the
country, such as New England and
