The owner of the property was ! convinced at this time that the tree was dead and had about decided to cut the other remaining branch and do away with the tree. Before she had a chance to reach a decision on the matter, tiny blossoms began to appear on the fallen branches, and in a few days the tree looked like q botanical garden as it's blossoms Were stretched out over a large area because of the spread of the fallen branches.'
 The beauty of the scene made the owner loath to destroy the tree. and the blossoms gave way to tiny green apples that might be seen here and there along the branches. It was not long, however, until more and more of the little green apples be- came visible and today the tree is loaded with large red apples
 The wonder of the thing is how it is possible for the branches to sustain their life, as from all ap- pearances the foot of each one shows signs of being dead. Then, too, one Of the branches - the last to fall-shows very plain evidence of having been struck by lightning, as it is split from it's top right down to it's base and the bark has been peeled of.

'opEtIdi tO the f1eldIO1
 Berlin, July g 4 horizontal apple tree which bears fruit is the novel sight which greets autoists and pedestrians who pass the Citiskus farm on Pennington avenue these days. This tree, a large one in the front yard of the property, has three of its four main branches broken off three feet from the ground and these recline on the soil, apparently dead. But, although the bases of these branches appear to confirm their deadness. actually they are bearing nice red apples.
 The tree is peculiarly formed, consisting of four main branches, only one of which elected to grow in a vertical position. The other three seem to have sprung out from the main body of the tree just below the point of the break.
 The first Of these breaks occurred about two years ago and was caused by the weight of the fruit which loaded the branch. The following year another branch seemed to have lost it's sustaining life and it, too, toppled to the ground. The third branch was brought to earth during the heavy windstorm which swept through this section during the early part Of May of this year.

AT THE STRAND

l In the exact spot where Black
 Bart and other early California out
 laws actually perpetrated their deeds of daring, Paramount filmed
 it's latest outdoor talking master 1 piece, The Bordsr Legion" Zane
 Grey's popular and thrilling story of | the west of gold-rush days In the
 smashing action romance now play ing at the Strand theater, featuring
 Richard Arlen, Fay Wray and Jack Holt. The audiences will see au-
 thentiC scenes and action just as
 they took place back in the 1S70's. | Zane Greys stories are high spots of screen entertainment. More than 1 twenty-four of them have been film
 ed by Paramount. With the intro- duction of dialog, the characterful tales of the wide west have become even more realistically gripping than they were in silent form. To add to this realism, Paramount left no stone unturned to make The Border Legion" true in every detail to the adventurous period it repre- sents.
 A stage hold-up is one of the gripping episodes, and. for this ac- tion, Paramount selected the old gold trail from Columbia to Stock
 ton. which winds through a rock walled defle in the Sierra Nevada
 mountains in California. The pass
 is just wide enough to allow for the
 passage of one vehicle and it's stra- tegic advantages were recognized
 and utilized time and again by the daring bandit bands of the old west.

.LEGGE DECLARES
 OPPOSITION BUNK
Farm Board Head CriticiZes Enemies as Political Group

Washington, July 9 (R,-Chair- man Legge of the farm board says opposition to the boards wheat pol icy is political bunk" of the same kind" that put the farmer in his present unfavorable economic posi- ton.
 In a statement published today, he said he was fighting in the open and not hiding behind President Hoover He added he would make a report to the chief executive soon on the progress of the boards campaign for a reduced wheat acreage.
 "The farm board" he said, was created to assist the farmer and not for politics. The farmers rIoblen is an economic one that will never be solved by any political remedies.
 'The president has not interfei ed with our program and We have gone ahead saving wood. I expect to re- port to him soon on the acreage re- duction campaign, but I am not hid ing behind his skirts"
 LeSSt "tIL Oll lO Say Ilt was pre- pared to tell MT. Hoover he expected cooperation in the acreage reduction program from the farmers of every state in the winter wheat belt. He described the purpose of the cam- paign as to show the farmer he must reduce production or accept a low CT price for his wheat
 After terming the opposition to the boards policies political bunk Legge said:
 Present and future orations writ ten by the democratic national com mitt\e and fathered by various ora tors 10 broadcast the alleged failure of the farm board are only more of the same kind of political bunk by virtue of which the farmer has ar rived at his present position"
 He said the opposition of Gov ernor Reed of Kansas was wholly political' and applied the same de- scription to criticism of the board for not buying and storing large amounts of the 1880 wheat crop.

Chicago, July 22 PI-Influenced by sharp upturns in corn values, wheat scored price gains early to- day despite a sag at the start.

Stark tragedy, comparable 10 that of lbsen or Dostoevski, is found ill the pitiful circumstances which Captain Hatteras creates for himself and his family as the result of his peculiar obsession that life was an enemy to be given no quarter. Sane on all else, Hatteras has a violent hatred of life since the day his first wife died in bringing his daughter
 Barbara into the world To provid,
 a home for the child he marries a second time but his wife is merely
 a housekeeper and Paul finds relief
 in his long journeys to China. It
 was there, in the' midst of q deliri-
 ous debauch, that apoplexy seized
 him and foored him. That was the first round" he grimly com
 mented in telling Of the event later.
 The play presented by the Man hattan Repertory theater company last night tells the story of the sec ond round. Barbara. disgraced, comes home to her father seeking
 protection. His most violent pre- Judice being outraged by his daugh- ter, he adds to his frenzy by find ing that his wife wants another man.
 In a dramatic climax Hatteras invites Smith, who wishes {, ,arry Barbara despite what he has been told; Livingstone. the man his wife
 wants; the parish priest, and Pro- lessor Murgatroyd. life long friend, to a gruesome dinner in which he
 repeats his hatred of life and works himself up into a drunken rage. He offers Smith and Livingstone an op- porthnity to leave the house and his
 women but they refuse. Murgatroyd. not misled by Paul's apparent ami ability, realizes that he is about to kill his wife and daughter before the eyes of the men who love them. He attempts to halt him but apo plexy is even quicker and Hatteras goes down. a victim of his own crazed mind. in the second round
