HIGH-HEADED GARDEN TREES They Permit Working Ground Under Them and for Growing Crops That Stand Shade. (Prepared by th? United States Department of Agriculture.) In tho small home garden, where it ls necessary to utilize overy foot of ground, trees with the heads formed 5 to 7 foot high are desirable. They allow for working the ground under them and for growing certain crops that will thrive In partial shade. Yeors Apple Tree? With Cover Crop of Al* faifa. ago lt was the common practice of American nurserymen to head young trees at 4 to 6 feet high, but the demand for low-headed trees for com mercial orchards forced a change and now nursery fruit trees are grown with heads formed at 4 feet or lower. The United States Department of Agriculture says that many of the English and French nurserymen, who supply local trade, grow trees with tall, bare trunks especially. for gar den culture. American nuserymon Similarly sltunted might find profit in producing such trees. Gardeners who cannot find high headed trees are advised to buy tall yearling whips and form the heads nt such height as they desire. After set ting the tree cut oft the stem at six or seven feet above the ground and, ns the buds break, rub oft' all those to within n foot of tho top. Leave three to five buds spneed evenly around the trunk to form a well-bal anced head. It ls possible to grow and to mow a good lawn under hlgh heuded trees. SELDOM SPRAY BUSH FRUITS Raspberry and Blackberry Canes Should Be, Cut Out and Burned Soon as Fruit Is Off. Most of tho diseases of raspberries and blackberries cannot bo satisfac torily controlled by spraying, says n. A. Cardlnell, of the Missouri College of Agriculture. Plant only those varieties which are moro resistant to disease, such as Kansas black raspberry, etc., for Mis souri conditions. Gut out and burn all old canes ns soon ns tho fruit ls off. If caterplllors appear on leaves af ter plants ore In foliage, spray with arsenate of lead at the rate of ono pound of tho powdered form to GO gal lons of water. It has not been found practical to spray currants and gooseberries for leaf spot. If the importod currant worm appears, spray or dust with paris green and lime. (Uso hellebore or pyrethrum ; one ounce to two gal lons of water after fruit ls half grown.) If mildew, a grayish, powdery fun gus, appears apply potassium sulphide (liver of sulphur) at tho rate of one ounce to two or three gallons of wa ter. If plant lice (aphids) appear uso nicotine sulphate before they curl tho leaves. Plowing under dead leaves or burning them will aid greatly In the control of leaf spot RASPBERRY PATCH DISEASES AnthracnoBo ls Most Serious Ailment and Gives the Canes Scabby Appearance. Raspberry patches aro subject to two or threo quito serious diseases. One ls blight, which causes thc canes to die, and tho burk becomes un healthy. Anthracnose gives the canes a scabby appearance. This perhaps ls the worst disease of all. If these aro the real causes of tho unthrlftiness, spraying with bordeaux mixture will be effective. However, If the patch bas become badly diseased, do not fool with lt. It will be more profitable to stnrt a now plantation on disease-free ground, In another part of the garden, j Place for Strawberries.

Puris, June 2-1.-'Madame Martel Louise Bessarabo, writer of feverish verse and sensational stories under the name of Hera Mirtel, was to-day convicted of the murder of her hus band and of shipping the body away in a trunk, and she was sentenced to twenty years' hard labor, upon the confession made in open court by j her daughter, Paule Jacques( tried jointly hero, but acquitted. Then j the mother, who had just been condemned by her daughter, became her daughtr's defender. She Implored tho Jurors' mercy for her daughter, and later, when she was convicted and tho daughter acquit ted, she thanked the Jury for setting her daughter free. "Forgive my daughter," she beg ged ,them. "Pardon the child. As for me, who am old and withered, I abandon myself to you. This is not a reproach. A woman should remain young. Punish the old one, for she has had youth; she has lost lt in work, in doing her duty. She ls guilty because she ls old." Mother to the last, she remained bitterly sarcastic, saying to tho Jury and judges: "I see only men here. There are fifteen thousand women in our pris ons, but none among my judges." An hour later, when the verdict wna read, she smiled when she heard that her daughter was freed with a tenderness that amazed those who had watched her studied coolness, her sad face, throughout the trial. She smiled as she told the jurors: "I thank you for having acquitted my daughter. As for me, I am inno cent." The Jurors apparently only voted seven t? fiyo for conviction, as five jurors immediately signed an appli cation for the mother's pardon, and the attorneys hopo to win over the others. DISABLED VETERANS OBJECT To Being Used in Form of Propa ganda Against thc Bonus.

"For the solemn purpose of cor recting a rank injustice to the dis abled," Ttobert M. Smyth, of Cin cinnati', national staff representative of the disabled veterans, charges in a letter to the Legion that "certain financiers corralled a few disabled soldiers recently, brought them up before President Harding (for which they were probably paid well) and had their pictures taken." This pic ture, Smyth alleges, was published broadcast with tho statement that disabled vetorans aro against the bo nus." Smyth also quoted from his or ganization's magazlno to tho effect that "the payment of a bonus will not prevent nor delay taking care of the crippled and tho maimed veter ans; and taking caro of tho war cripples ought not to delay nor pre vent paying Just compensation to all the ex-service men." Tho disablod veterans in their last two national hn^etlngB' have endorsed adjusted compensation, the publication show ed, and urged its immediate enact ment into, law. PECULIAR MAY DAY SPORTS Diversions In "Merrie England" That Went Out With the Rise of Puritanical Ideas. In London in olden times the chim ney sweeps had a May day celebra tion of their own.

All these persons strolled the street?, stopping to dunce to the tune of a fife and a drum and collect pennies from the onlookers. This chimney sweep observance of the doy was tho last of the May day celebrations of the sort In England. As a part of the old English cele bration of May day there was a dis tinct sot of sports meant to repre sent the adventures of the legendary Robin Hood and known as the "Robin Hood games."
