TRANSFORMING.
Trees when transplanted should
be at least 6 to feet tall and
from l to inches in diameter at
the ground. In some instances
trees much larger than this can
be successfully ,ransplanted. In AL
buQuerque the male or NOM
bearing cottonwood and the Rus
sian mulberry can be transplanted
successfully when they are to 6
inches in diameter at the ground.
If trees of this size are trans
planted the tops must be cut off
entirely at the height above the
ground that the new top is wanted,
for street trees this win be seven
to eight feet, for parks and lawns
the trees may he headed lower.
In this dry climate and especial
~ where the soil Is largely adobe
the holes should be at least 8 feet
wide and 8 feet deep, or even 5
ieet wide and deep will be even
better. These holes should ebe
filled with soil taken from the
first three inches of top dirt. The
dirt below this should not be used
especially that taken out OF the
holes. Holes of the size given are
usually larger than the roots sys-
tenn Of the trees when transplant
ed, but they are needed to hold
the moisture necessary for the
young trees, also the roots can
spread more easily in the fresh
loose earth with which the holes
are filled than If they have to
grow into the hard, compact, UNI
disturbed soil around the hole.
Pruning.
The top OF the young trees

lnurseryman who sells you the
trees does this for you, especially
if he transplants them. The roots
of the trees should be kept moist
with wet sacks from the time the
trees are dug until they are set in
the ground. The holes should be
dug and the dirt hauled ready to
put in the holes before you get
the trees. All broken roots should
be cut Off with a sharp knife.

STATE EVENTS
TOLD IN BRIEF
The HAPPENINGS OF A WEEK
BRIEFLY TOLD FOR OUR
BUSY READERS.
NEARLY ALL COTTON PICKED
Fall has been Best Picking Season
for Farmers in Several Years
About rs per cent Unpicked.

Jackson, Farmers Of Mississippi
are agreed that this is the best
autumn for cotton picking they have
had in many years, and not more than
% per cent Of the seasons Yield re.
mains in the field to be picked. In
some counties the percentage is much
smaller.
During the latter part Of last week
a few heavy showers were reported
in the central counties, but over a
good portion Of the cotton growing
area there has been practically no
moisture during the past month. This
is not altogether pleasing, in view Of
the fact that drought conditions have
developed, especially in the southern
counties whore creeks have dried up,
and many farmers are compelled to
haul water for their live stock. Forest
fires covering a considerable area
have also been reported.
The quality of the staple is the best
that has been harvested in this state
for many seasons, and the tendency
to hold back the crop from the market
Is somewhat general. 1t is Il common
sight TO see wagons vending their
way back to the farms from the cot
ton gins laden with new.made bales to
be stored awaiting better prices.

WILL LEAD
AMERICAN LEGION
ALVIN M. OWSLEY ELECTED ON
FIRST BALLOT TAKEN IN
NEW ORLEANS.
HAS SPLENDID WAR RECORD
Rehabilitation, disqualification, Ad
justed Compensation and Ameri-
canization and Fight for
Bonus to Finish.

New Orleans.-Mounted on a figura-
tive 'old gray mare" Alvin NJ. Owsley
of the Lone Star state rode through
the American Legion hall here and
var installed on the platform as ma
tional commander for the forthcom-
ing year. The young major from Den
ton, Texas, outdistanced his compet1-
tors early N the balloting, and when
the end came was more than 800 votes
ahead Of the other candidates.
Owsley, who is SO years old, is one
OF the most popular soldiers ever hon
ored with the biggest job Of the le-
gion. His Texas boosters have started
the ball rolling, and the delegates
sang his name at the top of their
voices. His tight arm is nearly para
lyzed from handshaking, his voice Is
hoarse and his back is weary from the
many hearty slaps Of congratulation.
Owsley is an attorney. He resigned
a position as a district attorney in
Texas at the outbreak of the wal and
recruited a battalion in northern
Texas, After serving as division in
surance officer and senior instructor
for the third officers training camp
at Camp Bowie, Texas, he went over-
seas and took part in two major op-
erations. After the wal he was ap-
pointed an assistant attorney general
in his home state and two years 6
became assistant director of the le.
gion's national Americanization com.
mission.
The tide Of the election was turned
by the Illinois delegation. Opposing
Owsley were William F. Deegan, Of
New York, Joseph Thompson of Penn
%sylvania, and John A. Mccormick, Of
Colorado. Each nomination brought
an equal amount of cheers and the
result was extremely doubtful. The
first ten states scattered their votes
between the candidates.
Then Illinois was called. The lead
er of the delegation rose and shouted
sixty votes for Owsley.' From then
on down the list the votes for Owsley
fast and furious, the south vot-
ing solidly for the young man.
The final count was: Owsley, STA;
Deegan, 251; Thompson, 205; McCor-
mick, IL.
After the total had been announced
the other candidates withdrew their
names and asked that the election be
made unanimous. 1t was done and the
Texas crowd put their man on their
shoulders and carried him to the
stand.
THE old gray mare referred to in
nominating speech had carried
to victory.

Memphis, Tenn.-That the Negro
known as A. McVane, killed by Pa
trolman D. F. Kitchens, after he haC
shot Kitchens and his partner, Pa
trolman |. B. Phillips, is the same
man who shot Emergency Officer
Edward Clark in the leg lear Market
ana Main in 1915, became known, &C
cording to police.
Clark, who was killed several
weeks ago, his wife being arrested
charged with his murder, and his
running mate, Pete Brown, had a mar.
row escape at the time at the hands
OF the black. McVane was arrested,
being later sentenced to the peniten.
tiary from three to q years, accord
ing to police officers. He was pa
rolled after serving about four years
OF his sentence.
Kitchens is seriously wounded, ac-
cording to the report at the Baptist
Memorial Hospital. The ball from
the desperate Negroes gun, a Smith
& Wesson .38 Special, entered, ac-
cording to Police Surgeon ]. R. Drake,
about the center of his chest, possibly
two inches below the base of his
neck. The patrolman's left shoulder
is paralyzed, and attendants last
night said that they feared internal
hemorrhages. Despite the nature of
his hurts, Kitchens is said to have a
chance for recovery.
Phillips was shot through the I'D
per part Of his left arm, the missile
severing an important nerve. Sur
geons stated last night that while he
will recover, he may never regain

cordlng to reports of the affair,
grasped the negro and tried in vain
to wrest the gun from him. Kitch-
ems shot through the chest, drew his
weapon and returned McVane's fire.
His aim was accurate. One bullet
entered the blacks heart. Barnett &
Lewis, negro undertakers, who have
the dead negro's body, report that he
was also shot twice or three times, il
the head. Any Of the wounds would
have proved fatal.
Detectives who were searching
nearby houses, Capt. M. G. Kehoe, In |
spector Of Detectives w. T. Griffin |
ard all available men at ~headquar
tiers hurried to the scene. On Nc
Vane's body was found q sack con.
tanning cartridges and in the room in
a closet was another sack also con-
tanning shells. These and the negro's
gun are at headquarters.
Police officers and detectives are
the opinion that McVane had re.
committed some crime, and
from indications he evidently thought
that the patrolmen had entered the
to arrest him. Investigation is
being continued as to his movements,
and a wire was dispatched to Nash
Vile to the penitentiary for a photo
graph to establish McVane's identity
for a certainty.
The negro is of medium height and
build, his complexion being a light
