REVERSE METHOD OF NATURE
How japanese Produce Dwarf Trees
Which In Many Cases Are Re
markedly Beautiful.

There is general impression that
The method Of producing dwarf trees Is
n secret that the japanese have never
dlyulged. but the course 10 be pur-
sued Is really simple. The whole sys-
tenn 81 culture may be summed up rs

really consists. not In The survival OF
the fttest. but rather In the survival
~ the unfittest. A poor, weak seed is
usually chosen and planted. As soon
as IL has attained some growth the
leading shoot Is trimmed off The III.
tie plant then grows two other shoots,
and these are carefully watched When
one shoot exhibits strength and vi
tally greater than its fellow. II Is at
once ent OF, and the weaker shoot Is
untouched In order TO form the future
dwarf trees main stem or trunk. This
system Of trimming and cutting is fol.
lowed punctiliously Water is seldom
used-only IN very small quantities TO
keep the little plant actually alive.
The tree II kept In pot too small for
It's full development, and the roots are
constantly pruned. The shoots are
carefully trained and bent to follow
the growth OF large tree. All this
requires great patience, but the Jap
anese never tire watching the growth
OF the tree from day to day, week TO

tree has been growing for about five
years, II can then be practically left
TO take care OF itself II has become
accustomed to Its training, and its sur
roundings and, like force OF habit. fol-
lows the course laid out for It. In this
manner some very magnificent speci-
mems Of dwarf trees are produced
which In their miniature beauty and
majesty compare favorably with their
big brothers In the unframed forests.

How to Retrieve Stamp.

Most people do not know that an
unused postage stamp which has beer
attached to letter that 1t is decided,
later. not to mail. can be very easily
separated from the envelope II cleaves

water that takes time when one wants
to use the stamp in hurry. And most
people do want stamp In n hurry.
The trick Is simple enough: Simply
tear the envelope from the stamp in.

from the envelope Cut the envelope
away from the stamp, leaving just a
margin Of paper for thumb and finger

one corner OF the stamp, then another,
then another. Presently the paper will
be loose at all the edges and little
care will get II quite Off the stamp at

want to use an already pasted-down

WHY NOT MOVE THE CAPITOL

The colors under which the larger
groups Of Vermont soldiers served
during the great war are TO be pre-
scented to the State of Vermont this
week. The exercises will take place
in the Hall of Representatives at
Montpelier on Thursday evening, Oct.
%. The colors TO be presented in
clude those of the 10lst Ammunition
Train, the First Vermont and 57th
Pioneer Infantry and the 302nd Field
Artillery. There will also be present
ed shields concentrating the SER
vices of Vermont men in the l03d
Infantry, the l0lst, l02d and l03d
Machine Gun Battalions. OF course
Vermont men served in many other
organizatios but these were those
which had the largest numbers. Ben
nington county had probably more
six hundred men in these organiza-
tons and delegations will go from
here TO the capitol to attend the ex-
ercises. Around the statehouse dur
ing the session il is standing joke
that Bennington county it not entitled
70 much consideration because Ben
nington county people do not take
much interest in affairs at the capitol.
This presentation is sample Of the
situation which confronts people from
this and Windham county. The young
veterans who desire to attend these
exercises will have to take two days
OF and spend from $50 to S25 to at
tend the presentation Of these eolors

New York December 2O.-Brighter
 prospects for railroad legislation and
 another substantial raise in British
 exchange caused moderate covering of
 short contracts in the course of to- days brief stock market session Z The further recovery of international ~ ~remittances was based upon the recon - - -mendatio of the Secretary of the Treasury to Congress urging that cred it's be advanced to the more needy 2 European countries.

 Trading in bonds was relatively more active than the turnover in stocks. Several of the recently heavy specula- tive rails, including Pennsylvania gen. era1 4hs and Baltimore Ohio con- vertble 45ss were strong. Liberty and foreign war issues were steady.

CORN MARKET WAS WEAKENED BY VERY
 LIBERAL RECEIPTS
Oats Finished at a Decline, While Provisions Were Un-
 changed to 15c Decline
By As,oclated Press

Chicago. December 2O.-Weakness that characterized the corn market today was due principally to liberal receipts here. The close was heavy, cent to 25s cents net lower. Oats finished at declines of ts to "A cents, and provisions unchanged to 15 cents decline.
 Corn began to swing downward after a little display CT strength near the open ing. The early advance came about as a result of sharp upturns in British ex- change and owing to a statement which the Secretary of the Treasury had made in regard to credits for Europe. Buying. however, lacked force and there were signs of somewhat general disposition to anticipate the arrival of more plenti- full supplies than have heretofore been expected. January delivery was the most depressed of ary.
 Oats went lower with corn. Both do- mestic and Se1hoard demand was slow. Provisions were weakened by the breaks in the value of grain.
