GRANDE EVENING
IIOW TO PRUNE HIIKI IIS
There's a ''bent way" to do every
thing, and amuteur gardeners should
give a little thouKht to the best way
of handling pruning shears.
Always work with the cutting blade
lowermost so that you pull It upward,
though the pressure Is downward on
tho handle of the cutting side. This
allows you to cut smoothly and close
to the stem from which the nruned
thoot is removed. It Insures against
possible stripping of bark resulting
from a downward cut. Watch the
soi ci me Diaae aon t let it get
Never uso shears that are dull.
Keep them sharp as you work.
Many people have tho mistaken
men tnat to prune a plant is to trim
back the branches in much the way
tnat a Darner cum nair. -The object
of pruning old shrubs is to keep them
shapely and to preserve the bloom -
lng wood. Naturally this cannot be
done by merely "bobbing" off tho top
of the plant.
Anyone who attempts to prune
should have a clear Idea why that
particular bit of pruning Is being
done. In general, the natural growth
of a shrub is the most attractive, and
by cutting out tho old and dead wood,
enabling the plant to ronew Itself,
this natural grace and beauty of the
plant 1b preserved. Formal shaping of
tho plants should be restricted to for
mal gardens.
To avoid unnecessary pruning of
toll shrubs do not plant them In posi
tions whrre a low-grower would be
moro suitable and require less, cut
ling back. This is especially true un
der windows where a tall shrub will
become too large and will have to be
severely trimmed back each year.
Plant a tall, slender Bhrub whero It
can develop Into an effective plant,
instead of trying to stake and prunt

lowy proportions.

Banker s Job
Is
Friendly Job
all human we like friends
understanding. And it would be a
way to live if we had no one with whom we could dis
cuss our good fortunes and our misfortunes, our ex
periences and our ambitions.
And since money affairs are personal affairs, the
banker's job should be a friendly one, If a widow
discussing her investments, wants to buy doubtful
looking oil stock, the banker can advise her against it
and still be friendly. As a matter of fact, he would
not be a friend if he didn't.
And if a man wants a loan that would involve his
future and jeopardize depositors' and stockholders'
money, the banker who shows the error of such a
request is doing the only friendly tiling he can do.
Your permanent welfare is the concern of every good
banker. He must be of substantial service, a counsellor
who. guards your interests in both a helpful and friend
ly way.
Wo are equipped and anxious to give friendly ser
vice to your financial problems. We are glad to talk
them over with you.
