PRUNING OF The
MATURE PEACH TREE
by Gordon G. Brown
Continued from last week.

There are a number of important
objects which the peach grower should
keep in mind in pruning his trees. he
may wish TO modify or renew vigor.
shape. stockiness and productiveness-
Incidentally. he may wish to prune 50
as to thin or induce uniformity in
growth and ripening of fruit and 10
facilitate spraying and harvesting.
Often the aim is TO force out. new
hea ad entirely.
As a general rule, the writer advises
pruning the peach after the danger of
heavy winter freezing is past, since
others. Since the industry here is
small. this can readily be done at the
time mentioned. 1t is assumed that
trees have reached three or four years
of age when good crops of fruit are
borne. After this they will make
smaller annual growth under usual
conditions than during earlier years.
Less heading back will be required.
During some seasons it may be worth
while to head back the terminal
growth so as to induce secondary and

gree Of pruning will depend largely
upon the natural vigor and develop
ment of fruit buds. 'Jf." says Pro-
fessor II. p Gould. Oh the United
States Department of Agriculture,
there has been winter-inlury or If
buds failed to form well the previous
season, little or no reduction of the
previous seasons growth will be
needed. On the other hand, if the
trees made strong growth, an abun-
dant set of fruit buds developed, and
they have suffered no injury, a CORES
pondingly heavy cutting back Of the
previous seasons growth may be ad-
visable in order to thin the fruit as
much as possible by that means. In
this connection the grower is reminded
that fruit is borne on the one year old
wood only, hence the necessity of fore
ing out new growth induced by heavy
pruning. The tree should at all times
be kept open so as to facilitate spray
ing and the admittance of sunshine.
In most cases the pruning of peach
trees in Hood River Valley has been so
neglected that the location of the
bearing surface has not been con-
trolled. Some trees have not been
headed back for years. The result has
been that year after year, progressive
ly, the bearing surface has been get
ting farther and farther away from
the ground, where 1t is least easily
handled. The total bearing surface
also becomes gradually reduced, in
that the lower limbs become barren of
new wood. The only fruiting area is
composed of thin "shell'. so to
speak, around the outer portions OF
the tree. Where trees reach such an
acute stage, it is really question as
to whether to pull out or rebuild the
whole top. Where trees are free from
disease and vigorous. 'deheading
may be done. The renewal of the top
by this means will often result in pro-
longing the usefulness of peach tree
for several years. In this operation,
practically all the older wood is cut
away to a few remaining smaller
growths. II tops are cut back to
wood, not more than three or four
years old, better head will be formed
than where heading back is made into
older wood. This work may be done
during the dormant season.

DUCK PIN GAME
IS SENSATIONAL

With the alleys crowded with spec
tators, the most sensational game of
bowling ever played here resulted last
Thursday night in duck pin victory
by Mr.. and Mrs. K. c. Stephens and
Mr.. and Mrs. l.. Boyd over a team
composed of MIR. and Mrs. A. Thomp-
son and Mr.. and Mrs. W. X. Green.
The game was won by Mrs. Boyd by
two pins downed in the last frame.
Rooters for the respective teams made
as much noise as though high school
contest had been on.
Local bowling teams, although they
have sent repeated challenges, have
been unable to get games with teams
of other cities. Work of local bowlers
renders it impossible for them to be
absent from the city over night. and it
is required that other teams visit Hood
River.

The Best Cough Medicine

When druggist finds that his GUS

many druggists use and recommend

CHAPTER XII.

Conward paused to speak to Irene before leaving the house.
 'T owe you my good wishes" he said And I give them most frankly, although perhaps with more difficulty than you suppose"
 "You are. very good, MT. Conward," l" she acknowledged.
 "I could not wish you anything but happiness" he returned. And had been so fortunate as Elden, in making your acquaintance first, might have hoped to contribute to your happiness more directly than I can under the present circumstances" He was speaking in his low, sedulous notes, and his words sent the girls blood rushing in strange mixture of grati- fication and anger. The tribute he implied-that he himself would have been glad to have been her suitor- was skillfully planned to appeal to her vanity, and her anger was due to its success. She told herself she should not listen to such words; she should hate to hear such words. And yet she listened to them, and was not sure that she hated them. She could only say:
 You are very good. MT. Conward."
 He pressed her hand at the door, and again that strange mixture of emotions surged through her.
 Conward proceeded to the business section of the town, well pleased with the evenings events. He found his way impeded by crowds in front of the newspaper offices. He had paid little attention to the progress of the war scare, attributing 1t to the skillful pub licity of interests connected with the manufacture of armaments. To the last he had not believed that war was possible.
 Nobody wants to fight" he had as- sured his business acquaintances. 'Eyen the armament people don't want to fight. An they want is to frighten more money out of the tax payers of Europe" To Conward this explanation seemed very complete It covered the whole ground and left nothing 10 be said. ,t
 But tonight he was aware of a keener tension in the crowd atmos, phere. They were good-natured crowds. to be sure, laughing and cheering and making sallies of heavy wit; but they were in some way more intense than he had ever seen before. There was no1fear of war; there was. rather, an adventurous spirit which seemed to fear that the affair would blow over, as had so many affairs in

picion, and a hidden, sinister meaning Is found behind the simplest word or act. We must plan two campaigns One. which I have already suggested, and one, if that should fail, to cause Elden to distrust Irene. No, mo-" he said, raising his hand toward Mrs. Hardy, who had started from her seat. "there must be no vestige of reason, except that the end justifies the means. It is case of saving Irene, even if we must pain her-and you-in the saw ing"
 'It's very dreadful" Mrs. Hardy re- peated. 'But you are very thorough; 1; you leave nothing to chance. I sup pose that is the way with all big busi- ness men,"
 "You can trust me-" Conward assured her. "There is no time to be lost, and I must plan my campaigns at once"
Connecticut western news., 1919-12-25

T suppose need not conceal from you," he answered, 'what my hopes have been. It is reasonably safe to judge daughter by her mother, and by that standard Irene is one of the most adorable of young women" T have been called attractive in my day." Confessed Mrs. Hardy, warm ing at once to his fiattery.
 "Have been?" said Conward "Say rather you are. If had not been rem dered, perhaps, a little partial by my admiration of Irene, I-well, one can scarcely give his heart in two places, you know. And my deep regard for you, Mrs. Hardy-my desire that you shall be spared this-ah-threatened humiliation, will justify me in using heroic measures to bring this un- fortunate affair to a close. You may trust me, Mrs. Hardy. Irene is-you will forgive me, Mrs. Hardy, but Irene is, if I may say it, somewhat head strong. She is"
 "She is her father over again." Mrs. Hardy interrupted. "I told him he should not attempt that crazy trip of his without me along, but he would go. And this is what he has brought upon me, and he not here to share it."
 Mrs. Hardy's tone conveyed very plainly her grievance over the doctors behavior in evading the consequences of the situation which his headstrong folly had created.
 "She is set in her own mind," Con- ward continued. "We must not openly oppose her. We must adopt other tac- tics"
 You are very clever" said Mrs. Hardy. You have been a student of human nature"
 Conward smiled pleasurably. Little as he valued Mrs. Hardy's opinion, her
Connecticut western news., 1919-12-25

words of praise fell very gratefully upon him. Flatterers are seldom proof against their own poison.
 "Yes, have studied human nature" he admitted. "The most interesting and the most profitable all studies. And know that young couples In love are not governed by the ordinary Laws of reason. That is why 1t is useless to argue with Irene-sensible girl though she is-on a subject like this. We must reach her some other way.
 ''The way that occurs to me is to create distrust. Love Is either ab- surdly trustful or absurdly suspicious There is, no middle course, no bal anced Judgment. Tn the trustfulness of love little virtues are magnified to angelic qualities, and vices are quite upseen. But change that trust to sus-

the past, and all the excitement for nothing. That war, if 1t came to war, could last no one dreamed; it would be a matter of few weeks, a few months, at the most, until a thor oughly whipped Germany would retire behind the Rhine to plan ways of rais- Ing the indemnity which outraged civi- lization would demand.
 Conward elbowed his way through the crowds, smiling, in his superior knowledge, over their excitement. Newspapers must have headlines.
 At his office Conward used tele- phone. Then he walked to a restau- rant, where, after few minutes, he was joined by a young woman. They took table in box. Supper was dis posed of, and the young woman began to grow impatient.
 ''Wen, you brought me here,r she said. at last. You've fed me, and you don't feed anybody, Conward, without a purpose. Whats the consideration
 I'm pulling off a little joke, and want you to help me. You know Elden Dave Elden"
 Sure. I've known him ever since that jolt put him out of business up in your rooms, ever so many years ago He was too rural for that mixture"
 T want you to get him down to your place some night to be agreed upon-Tll fix the date later-and keep him there until call for him. with his fiancee."
 "Some joke" she said, and there waf disgust in her voice. "Who is 1t on Elden, me, or the girl7"
 "Never mind who it's on," Conward returned. "Pm paying for 1t. Here's something on account, and if you make a good job of 1t won't be stingy."
 He handed her a bill, which shs kissed and put In her purse. 'I nees the money, Conward, or wouldn't take it.'
 This part of his trap set, Conwarc awaited a suitable opportunity te spring 1t. In the meantime he tool Mrs. Hardy partially into his conf dence. He allowed her to believe, how ever, that Elden's habits would stand correction and he had merely arranged to trap him in one of his favorits haunts. She was very much shocked and thought it was very dreadful, but "of course we must save Irene."
 But concerning another part of hi, program Conward was even less franl with Mrs. Hardy. He was clever enough to know that he must observe certain limitations.
 At length all his plans appeared tc be complete. The city was in tumul of excitement over the war, but foi Conward deeper interest centeree in the plot he was matching under the unsuspecting noses of Irene and Elden If he could trap Dave the rest would be easy. If he failed In this he hac another plan to give failure at least the appearance of success.
 The fact that the nation was now at war probably had an influence in speeding up the plot. Everything was under high tension; powerful currents of thought were bearing the massef along unaccustomed channels; society itself was In a state of fiux. If he were to strike at all let the blow fall at once.
 On this early August night he ascer tained that Dave was working alone in his office. Then he called number on telephone.

MAIL EN- EARLY
AND WATCH OUT
Postmaster Gives Hints
For Expediting Xmas
Mail

Do your Christmas mailing early
and look out for bombs.
This is the warning issued by the
government to all postofice patrons,
through Postmaster Davenport, to-
day. TheT following is impressed
upon the public:
Mail them early and avoid disap-
pointment.
The coal strike has caused a reduc-
tion ftrain service on some rail-
roads, and further curtailment will
doubtless be necessary as the strike
continues.
This addition makes the early mail
ing of Christmas parcels this year
more than usually important.
And here are some additional hints
issued by the government.
Senders of domestic parcels are
asked to observe the following simple
rules "of utmost Importance"
Prepay postage fully on all par
GELS
Address parcels fully and plainly.
Place name and address of sender
on all matter.
Pack articles carefully and wrap
them securely, but do not seal them,
as sealed parcels are subject to post
age at the letter rate.
Mail parcels early; they may be
marked, "DoD not open until Christ
mas.
Written inscriptions such as "Mer-
ry Christmas" Happy Ney Year"
"With Best Wishes" and numbers,
names or letters for purpose of de-
scription, are permissible additions
to fourth-ciass (parcel post) mail.
Books may bear simple dedicatory in
scriptions not of a personal nature.
Other written additions subject par
cells to letter postage. Communica-
tions prepaid at frst-class rate may
be sent with parcels prepaid at
fourth-class rate, provided they are
placed in envelope securely attached
to outside of parcels.
hTe warning tol ook out for bombs
follows the discovery of government
secret service men of radical plot
to repeat at Christmas time the May
Day outrages. The May Day out
RACES were cited as examples of the
extent to which desperate minded
radicals will go in order to inf1ict
punishment upon the representatives
