I commonly and successfully practiced, j
It Is not only worth while in pe.-erv-
ing fruit trees, hut Is also the menus
of saving valuable shade tri'i's. Trees
with cavities several inches ileep are
often cut down when, by uslti! a little
cement und sand, they could he kepi
ullve for ten or fifteen years louder
Of course, the cavities are small at
first, but continue to get larger. They
favor decay, weakening the tree.
With a knife or a chisel remove all
of the decayed wood. Trim the edges
of the wound smoothly with a sharp
lcnlfe. Then a coat of paint or shellac
should he given the outer edge of the
'.V(umd. Successful growers recommend
the use of creosote and coal tar to
disinfect the inside of the cavity after
r has been thoroughly cleaned out.
This may he applied with n brush.
The cement may then be put in im
tuuilintoly. A good mixture may be
made of olio part cement to two parts
of clean sand.
After the. cement and sand have
been stirred a few minutes add enough
water to make the mixture into n
thick paste. Ttegln filling the cavity

TRUCKS
When you buy a Motor Truck you expect to use it for
a long time. You are making a permanent invest
ment which must be profitable. Besides being sure
that you are investing in a good Truck, you know that
the manufacturer will be in business five or ten years
from now

Cuba's coming sugar crop Is expect
ed to yield about 4.000,000 tons a rec
ord output. At prices which the plant
ers are counting upon receiving for
their sugar this will mean a payment
to them of from about $7"0,000,000 to
. '00,000,000. Bear in mind that this
Is for one crop raised on an islatin or
only 4.",S'.HJ square miles and with a
population of about 2,500.000.
In the cotton-growing sections of
the South there are approximately
about 2"i,000,000 people. The center of
interest in Cuba is sugar, in about
the same degree that cotton concen
trates the interest of the South. When
the cotton crop first reached the
value of $2,000,000,000 a year, the
world held up Its hands in amazement,
and yet this $2,000,000,000 is distrib
uted directly or indirectly among 25,
000,0(10 people. In Cuba more than
a third or that amount will be distrib
uted directly or indirectly among
2.500,000 people. Every dollar of this
vast sum is paid into Cuba from other
countries. It is as though the entire
world production of gold for two years
and more were dumped into Cuba, as
measured by the world's production of
gold and the Cuban sugar crop value.

Japan Taking Western Sports.
Japan Is offering somewhat of a
market for American sporting giods,
Ut the present. Since the end of .'he
war there has been nu increased In
terest In sports, and It may be said
of Japan that western games played
hero are essentially scholastic In na
ture baseball being the most popu
lar, with tennis second. The latter
named sport has now found favor
outside of student circles, and tennis
courts tiro scattered here and there
Ihrotighout the larger cities.
Construction of Shoulder Blades Today
the Same as Those of Sixty
Centuries Ago.
There has been no discernible
change In the shoulder blade of man
In the last 6,000 years, according to
Dr. William W. Graves of St. Louis,
wlto spoke before the meeting of the
American Association for the Advance
ment of Science.
Shoulder blades of Egyptian mum
mies, G.000 years old, and those of
Illinois river Indians, believed to be
about the same age, are the same as
lliose of the present-day men, accord
ing to Doctor Graves.
In July and August of last year Doc
tor Graves measured 1,500 shoulder
blades of men and animals, endeavor
ing to classify the differences In them.
The vertebral borders, with which he
was particularly concerned, are the
same In humans as In gorillas, chlm
panze'es and also in lower monkeys.
Concerning the skeletons of Illinois
river Indians, which he said appear
to be between 4,000 and 0.000 years
old, he was asked If he considered that
proof that this continent was Inhabit
ed then by humans whose physical
type was as high as that of the Egyp
tians of that day. He said that he
could not draw such a conclusion, al
though the shoulder blades are of the
same type.

Fairy Baskets.
Fairy baskets are made of large
hazel nuts, Irlberts or pencil pits. Fil
berts must be soaked In hot water for
several hours; hazel nuts and peach
pits may he used green. With a
sharp, line pointed penknife bore
tlirouuli the lllbert or hazel nut on
each side In the light colored upper
third, cut away the shell carefully
around the hole so os to leave n han
dle between the Incisions, dig out the
ment that Is Inside, then cut very tiny
notches In the lower edge. If you use
peach pits trim off the sharp point,
then bore and cut out the slielP and
trim the stnlk end smooth.
Those baskets are a never falling
pleasure to both children und grown
ups. One use to which you can put
the fairy baskets Is loop a dozen or
more upon a strand of silk floss, fill
each one with earth nnd supply It with
n single fine grass seed, then hang
them In a sunny window und keep
moist. ,
