1t is doubtful if any production,
film or otherwise, has been so unan-
imously praised by the critics every
where as D. w. Griffith's picturized
version of WAY Down East" which
. WAS given its first showing at the
REorty-fourth Street theater in Sep
lember 3, 1920, with Lillian Gish and
Richard Bathelmess in the leading
narts. and which will have it opening
Al the Rylander theater Friday and
Saturday, Jan. 6 and z.
Mir. Griffith's first public presenta-
ton of his new film was of such i'm
pcrance that his audience was COM
posed largely of those who attend
the first nights of the conventional
4rama rather than the regular movie
fans, and to quote paragraph from
the New York Telegraph: Those
who went for thrill were not dis
appointed. 1t was there full measure
and running over"
The famous play has been clearly
amplified into a screen pastoral as
only the master mind Of Griffith can
do. His innovations are no doubt
wonderful, for at the end of The first
presentation his work was greeted
with demonstration that shook the
very foundation of the building and
that Nv an audience If tie so-eal.ed

There are two seasons OF the
year when peach trees are pruned.
These are summer and winter, or
the growing and the dormant. Some
orchardists prefer one, and some the
other. Winter pruning has two dis
tinct advantages over summer prun-
ing: First there is no such n rush
for time mt that season Of the year
and. second the leaves have fallen
from the trees and the pruner can
Judge better what branches should
be removed.
In pruning peach trees there are
generally speaking, two types to be
considered; namely, the young or
the growing trees, and the bearing
or older trees. For pruning the
young trees the following program
can be used:
1. See that the head Of the tree
is properly formed. II the main
branches forming the head come out
opposite each other and are too
close together they will have a tend
ency TO split off when the tree
comes into bearing. There should
be from three to five of these main
branches, and if less than that num-
Der appears, they should be severely
pruned until the proper number Is
formed.
2. Keep the leaders in the top
cut back. High trees are trouble
some to spray and do not afford the
advantages of +ase Of harvesting
that low trees do.
3. Watch for poor forks on the
main branches. If the main branches
should happen to form into two
branches, or if two branches should
come out directly opposite each
other on the main branch there is
danger Of them splitting later on.
One OF them should be cut off close
in the fork.
4. Cut out the cross branches.
Their rubbing together scratches the
bark and gives entrance for disease
and insects.
5. Never take out the small shoots
as long as they are healthy. II the
top is too thick, take out small
branches. The shoots are the fruit
bearers.
6. Do any other pruning that
may need to be done.
The following program may be
used for pruning bearing trees:
/. Preserve the fruit spurs, or
little shoots, as suggested above.
2. Trim the top uniformly. In
doing this take out relatively small
branches-branche about the size
of a mans finger. II large branches
are removed they will leave an
opening.
3. Cut out dead, diseased or
broken branches and burn them.
This will destroy any diseases or
insects that might be on these
branches.
4. Keep all water sprouts cut
