ROYAL ROMANCE
 COMES TO END

BERLIN, July 20.-The curtain has been rung down on one of the most romantic love affairs that ever en2rossed the interest of European court circles. It is that of Princess Louise, born q Princess of Belgium, daughter of the late King Leopold and Hungarian captain of cavalry, Gee yon Mattachich, with whom she elOped from her fathers roof in 1906. r.
 The Princess remained true to her Captain through all the vicissi- tudes of fortune until last week, whom the bonds of love which had hitherto proved so strong, were broken by the dire financial need into which the couple were plunged stn>c the war by the failure of the Princess to recover her personal property coniscated by the en- tsnbe powers. and also by the loss of the suit which has been pending for years for the recovery of her portion of her fathers enormous estates to which the old Belgian King made his mistress, the Baron- ees von Vaughan, the sole heiress.
 . The Princess, who IS now sixty four, finally has given up the strug- gie and left Mattachich, who is re- ported to be suffering from stroke Of paralysis in sanitarium at Hsden. The Princess has gone to make her : home with her sister,

rilla ehieftain and bandit leader in Mexico for more than 10 years, dc- clared that he had ended his career of outlawry in August. 1920, when, at the head of 900 followers, the remnant oi what had once been his army Of 5000 men, he entered San Pedro, Coahuila, and, amid the cheers of the populace, announced the intention of himself and men of accepting amnesty and settling down as farmers. I
 A few weeks earlier. Villa had binas. He then declared his adher- ence to Provisional President de la Huerta and General Alyaro Obregon, later elected President to succeed Carranza Before capitulating, Villa demanded and was granted by the Mexican government. one years pay and small farm for each of his men a grand equal to $2,000,000 in gold.
 One of the most notable escapades of Villa was his raid on Columbus, N. M., on March 6, 1916 in which he and his followers killed IF Am ericans. 1t resulted in a punitive American military expedition under General Pershing crossing the border and maintaining a dead or alive" pursuit of Villa which lasted more than nine months and cost the United States government, according to War Department estimate, nearly 100,O00.0O0.
 U. S. Troops Ambushed.
 In battle at Parral American troopers were ambushed and a mum Der of them killed. On March 31. however, the bandits followers were defeated at Guerrero. The Americans were successful in number of other skirmishes and penetrated so far South into Mexico as to meet the Constitutionailst troops of Carranza who, ostensibly. were also in pursuit of the renegade Mexican leader.
 Villa, wounded but always eluding his pursuers, lived in a Chihuahua mountain cave for five weeks. It was located in the center of a per pcndicular cliff which rose 150 feet from brook on the level plain be- low and from this point Villa said he often watched the American troops. Many times he was report ed dead. Upon the American army's withdrawal from Mexico Villa re- nowed his depredations. On April 4, 1916, he was indicted for first degree murder at Deming, N. M., on account of the Columbus raid.
 They call me bandit and the worst man in Mexico" declared Villa when he was welcomed to San Pedro, Coahuilla, but l would preserve our nationality. I surrend- cred because further fighting in Mexico meant intervention by the United States. It is time for peace" In a manifesto he praised the good faith, honor and patriot isk" of Provincial President de la Huerta and declared 1t was his pur- pose to show the Mexican nation that he and his men could build as well as destroy"

Pruning the Home Orchard.

The farmer deserves the hes
his home orchard will produce
Many Of these orchards which
were set out with fond visions OF
lucious fruits have developed into
a tangle Of limbs and brush which
returns little or no fruit. A small
effort expended upon these trees
at this time will work wonders IN
the coming fruit crop.
Trees in order TO bear good fruit
must have thrifty wood and Wig.
orous leaves. This means that be,
sides fertile soil for our orchard
we must admit sufficient light INTO
the center Of the tree. Sunlight
furnishes the energy which makes
possible tree growth for strong
lfruiting wood and good fruit,
Experiments have proved that
light must reach each of the diff
ferent branches and even spurs
for the best results. Therefore, it
is the contention of NJ. d. Arm
strong, extension specialist in
horticulture, that the main object
in pruning bearing trees is to ad-
nit sufficient light.
The first thing needed in a much
neglected orchard is to take out a
few large limbs, leaving the bal
ance of the wood well distribut-
ed. Often few of the low limbs
need removal. Each of the larger
limbs should be removed with care
in order that the bark be not brok-
en- or torn. A saw should be used
and the cut made close to the main
limb or trunk of the tree. This
makes it possible for the wood to
heal over rapidly.
Paint the cut with a mixture of
one part creosote and three parts
coal tar. Some prefer a Bordeaux
paint or paste. After the large
limbs have been sufficiently thin
ned, there will still need to be a
good deal of the smaller wood and
limbs removed from the top. All
interfering limbs should be taken
out or cut back. If the tree is
too high to spray well and to pick
the fruit, then it should be cut
back. 1t is best to cut good siz-
ed lateral branch in order that ex-
cess shoot growth will not be pro
duced.
Pruning varies with the variety
of fruit. Always keep in mind a
well balanced tree and avoid MAX
ing cuts which will leave long
stubs that will only die back and
disease the heart wood of the
limbs.
When pruning is consistently
practiced, it will consist chiefly
of an annual thinning out of the
smaller wood by removing a great
deal Of the shoots and latcrals

Making the Hotbed Hot.

There is really nothing hard
about making a hotbed for il
simply requires little fore.
Thought in securing the right kind
OF horse manure, digging the pit
at time when there is no frost in
the ground, securing some / IL
inch boards and the repairing of
Isome old sash,
Location.-ln choosing a loca-
ton, select a well drained spot
with a southern exposure, on the
south side of a building or board
fence.
Frame,-The frame is usually
built of any available old boards,
preferably X IL. The north wall
should be "a inches high, and the
south wall u inches high, giving
the sash, when placed on the
frame, 12-inch slope toward the
south. Cross pieces should be
placed across the frame to cover
the joint where two sashes meet.
1.-THE entire frame should be made
tight to conserve the heat.
-Four corner posts on the inside
LOT the frame are usually made of
2-lnch material and should extend
about two feet below the bottom
of the frame into the pit.
Pit-The pit is made by digging
out to depth of 16 to % inches,
all the dirt inside the hotbed
frame, Make the bottom of the
pit level. When the frame is in
place, loose dirt can be banked
around it to give it added protec-
ton.
Preparing the Fresh,
clean horse manure with about
its own bulk Of bedding or straw
lis the most desirable. This I'M
heated manure should be hauled
to the place where it is to be used
and placed in compact pile and
moistened so that it will heat. A
few buckets Of warm water pour
Jed on the center Of the pile will
readily start heating in cold
weather. When heating is nicely
started, the manure should be
forked over into another pile and
left to heat some more. In few
days it will be ready to place in
the pit.
Placing in Pit.-The manure
should be spread out and packed
to a depth of IS inches in the pit.
When the manure warns up well,
place about four inches of rich
loan on top Of it. Do not plant
seeds for few days after this
time until the temperature has
cooled off to about IS degrees.
If the hot bed is covered with
cheap muslin or glass filled sash,
either should be raised on bright
days to give ventilation and COW
cred at night or in bad weather
Sweating or moisture showing
on the inside of the glass is a sure
sign of poor ventilation.
Watering Water the plants
about twice a week well, rather
than oftener and not thoroughly.

RAILROAD OFFICIAL
SAYS VALLEY NEEDS
GREATER FACILITIES
Commissioner Majors Wis
its Every Town in
Valley.

Brownsville, Tex, Sept. 29.-"The
rapid DEVELOPMENT of the valley makes
another railroad essential" was the
comment of State Railroad Commits
sioner w. A. Majors, who arrived in
the valley the first of the week and
inspected every part. of it from Mis-
sion to Point Isabel.
Commissioner Majors would not
state definitely the object of his trip,
but it is understood that he was here
for the purpose of ascertaining the
status of the valleys transportation
facilities.
In company with d. A. O'Brien,
president of the Rio Grande railway,
and several Brownsville business men,
Commissioner Majors inspected the
port project at Point Isabel, where
dredging work on the inner channel
is now in progress, and declared that
he believed the Pointa Isabel project
is one Of the most feasible and i'm
portant on the Texas coast.
He commented upon the fact that
a perfectly landlocked harbor would
be secured. and that there is not
another point on the Texas coast
where a similar harbor can be Sc
cured with the dredging Of less than
three miles of channel.
at is evident that Point Isabel is
