After Treatment.

When growth starts the following
spring, all tops should be removed
from branches on whic hthe buds
are living. These tops are cut off
about 10 inches above the bud, and
the bark skinned off from 1inch
above bud and upwards. The shoot
from the bud is tied 70 this 10-inch
piece of linz to prevent its being
broken Off by the wind. All sprouts
coming out on the branch must be
removed and only the inserted bud
should be allowed to grow. Some
time during the following winter, the
tcn-inch stubs to which the bud
shoots have been tied must be cut
back close to the shoots.

PARIS, March s.-T-American women.

alike. i do not agree with the view
OF Senior Blasco Ibanez that the Ame--

the contrary IL is my opinion that
she seeks Independence; hence her

IL the American woman occasion
ally expresses a wish for association
with men different from the Ameri-
can type, she is merely expressing q
wish for pastime. In the European
man she hnds satisfaction OF this de-
sire for amusement, as he is less oc-
cupied with business and IL able 10

ing her caprices..
But, l insist that the European
man can satisfy the American woman
only temporarily. For permanency

would have only the American.

THREE TOWNS
VISITED BY FIRE
Faulkton, Orient and washington Suf.
fer Severe Losses

Three neighboring towns were Wis
tied by disastrous fires during the past
week, Faulkton. washington and
Orient.
The largest loss occurred at Faux
ton where fire, starting in the armory
building, used by j.. X. Frad as a
garage, at about eleven o'clock caused
a loss of at least $4,000, with but
little insurance. The fire was first
discovered in the Office room of the
garage and spread so rapidly that
nothing in the building could be saw
cd. There were twenty-three automo-
5iies stored in the garage and every
one is a total loss. The fire soon
spread to the G. A. r. Hall which
burned within a short time. The
piano and some Of the furniture was
carried out before the flames reached
the building.
The loss on the armory building
VIII hhiOuut 10 duOuI Yf,VVV, Win put
$4,000 insurance. The building was
owned by A. j. Eaton, who also lost
a new Chandler car, with no insur-
ance. J e. Frad estimates his loss
in tools and machinery at about $500
with no insurance. Insurance to the
amount Of $1,000 was carried on the
G. A. r. Hall.
The eight-thousand dollar residence
owned by Mrs. Mary j Anderson, at
washington, was totally destroyed by
fire on Monday of last week. Owing
to inadequate water supply, the fire
gained such Roadway that it was inn
possible to save the building, and eff
forts were made toward saving the
adjoining property.
Mrs. Anderson carried $4,000 insur-
s,nce on the residence. A considerable
amount of furniture was carried out,
out a greater amount was destroyed
with the building.
Mrs. Anderson is spending the win
term Seattle. How the fire originat-
ed is a mystery.
Last Friday, Orient suffered a Sc
