To Haze Trees GrotD

When planting trees the soil should
be carefully worked around the roots
with pointed stick. No air spaces
should he left, and 1t is as well to soak
the soil around the roots so that the
tree will stand firmly. Most trees
should be planted two or three inches
lower than they were In the nursery or
the woodlot.
There can be no fixed rules for spac'

range from 30 to 80 feet apart, depend

COLORADO IS
GROWING DRIER

Denver, Nov. 1s.-Colorado is much
drier than it was year ago, accord
ing to John R. Smith, head Of the
state prohibition department. Accord
ing to him, not half as many stills
are operating in Colorado as there was
year ago, and the stills that are op-
Grating are much smaller than those
that formerly made illicit liquor.
OF the 60 stills that have been
seized by his department since No
vember / of last year, all but six
have been under one hundred gallons
capacity, while previously most of the
stills had a capacity gilmore than that
amount.
Although more arrests have beer
made in the past year than in the
year before, Smith says that the guam
tity of mash found and seized has
been much less.
Last year the state prohibition de
partment made 300 arrests and secured
250 convictions. This year 325 arrests
have been made and $40 convictions
have been obtained, and 35 cases arr
still pending.

Real Home Must Not

The revival of interest in home
building undoubtedly has brought with

with the result that In many instances

or just a houseT'
Cheap and hasty construction can
never make home serve the purpose
for which 1t should be designed. A
hastily selected house plan is, in most
Instances, thing to repent. A dis
satisfied home builder Is anything but
an asset to a community. Either he
wants to sell his home or he thinks
constantly of his mistakes, and does
not derive the joy that should be his
In such ownership.
Home building properly REQUIRES
long planning. 1t is not matter to
be discussed today and placed in the
hands of contractor tomorrow. The
investment is mot only a heavy one
for most people, but 1t Is peculiar
one, in that sentiment and personal
taste are to be satisfied II an enjoy
able home is to result
The livable home is the one which
has not only been carefully planned
by its occupants. but has been suit
ably fitted to Its site and arranged In
such way as to conform to the mode
Of life Of those who live within Its
