MIR. GHOST GOES TO TOWN

MIR. GHOST GOES TO TOWN.
When witches rode their broom
sticks through the darkness, and
eery winds whined around the cor
ners, Mr.. Ghost went to town-and
so did the kids. For 1t was Hallow-
cen.
Jumping the gun bit, the gangs
started out on Saturday night soap
ing windows and the like. But Hal
loween was not officially on the
schedule until Sunday night. When
Saturdays pranksters learned that
they started out again, and the boys
got a double batch.
All along Main Street pools OF
water, from washing uptown win
dows, drenched the sidewalks and
made going for the pedestrian dis
tasteful especially If he had a hole
in his shoe. Both flag poles were
neatly taken care of with a tire
mounted to the ball on one and a
barrel halfmast on the other.
Streets were barricaded with myr-
lads of barrels, steps, boards and
boxes. Culvert tops at the street
crossings were we'll mussed up call
ing out the street department Mon
day.
Until 2 a. m. older gangs kept po-
lice busy chasing them around and
keeping them out of mischief.
There was one gang with a truck
that halted a squad car" and near
ly caused Its upset. So It was big
highland gangs ferreted out some
of those outdoor places to shunt
over-but not for the boys alone.
Certainly not. The gals were out
Halloweening, too.
Halloween pranksters who literal
ly walked into the arms of the law
are probably feeling a bit sheepish
since the Judge turned out to be
regular. Pranksters dismembered q
section of a cement block retaining
wall and strewed the pieces in the
street before the home of Judge r.
r. Kells. And they were caught by
police. Boys will be boys" the
Judge chuclled kindly. II think
they'll see the wall Is repaired. I
would have taken the wall out a
long time ago" Mr.. Keals said, "only
/ like to watch the kids race across
its top in the summer"

 Shrubs should have thin branches cut out to the base. A third of all tops may be cut out. but thinning out is better than cutting back ends. Try to equalize the amount of top with the amount of roots.
 Evergreens need not be trimmed at time of tranSplanting, because they are transplanted with all their roots intact in a ball of earth.
 It is essential to direct the growth of shade trees. If the tree begins to grow lopsided, cut back some of the limbs. If the branches are too

 Whenever one limb grows over another, so as to rub against it or throw out the symmetry of the tree, cut out the limb. Cut of all suckers at the base or along the trunk.
 Unless some varieties of ever- greens are pruned, they will become thin and 'leggy." Their new growth will always be at the ends of the branches and the leaves will die close to the trunk.
 Take off one-third of the present years growth to keep the plant full of leaves. Evergreens grown as hedges may be cut just before new growth starts, either early in tine spring or early in the fall.
 Evergreens; such as pines and spruces, may be kept within bounds and bushy by pinchiag of the new leaders In May and in September.
 Low growing evergreens, such as pfitzers and yews, may be clipped any time during the year. It is bet ter to do 1t early in the season be- fore growth begins. to force the new growth from the center of the plant rather than from the ends oe the limbs. E t
