trees are believd to be the descendants
of those which existed upon the same
spot at the time Christ lived in the
world. This belief is lent what seems
positive proof by the fact that they are
unlike all other trees of the same va
riety in that country. The only spots
in the garden where the appearance of
Easter visitors indicates other than
feeling of joy and religious inspira-
ton are those where monument marks
the spot where Judas Iscariot gave the

Thus Jerusalem celebrates Easter.
The places of which the Bible has told
mankind, that have made Palestine ia
miliar the world over, furnish them op-
portunities for numerous pilgrimages
that impress them as 1t is impossible
for a word picture to impress the Chris
tians of other lands. So it is that in
this sense Jerusalem's Easter is the
most significant of all observances. 1t
is that strongest of combinations-mem-

Workmen as Contractors

A system of public work that has much
to commend it is that of "Co-operative
Contract" in vogue in New Zealand
Under that system a public work is di
vided into small sections by the engineer
in charge and an estimate is made of it's
cost Each section is then let out to a
group of workmen, who do the work un-
der foreman of their own choosing, but
who receives no more than his fellows.
They obtain the full profit which would
otherwise go to professional contractors
and they share the payment equally.
Each worker is interested in seeing that
his companions do their full amount of
work. and the sooner the job is perform
ed the greater the return for a days
work. If any tools are needed which the
men do not own, the government sup
plies them at a moderate rental. The
adoption of this system would provide
a method whereby direct employment
by the government would be consistent
with full return for the money expend-
ed giving to the community an advan-
tage in the economical execution of pub
lie enterprises equal to that enjoyed by
private employers.-Review of Reviews.

Orchard Ground Should Be Kept Cool

Nothing is more certain than that
high temperature in the earth is in
furious to fruit trees. Earth exposed
to the full glare of the sun will fSe-
quently, in the summer time, reach
higher temperature than the atmos-
phere. This is especially true where
the earth is dark in color. Anyone may
test this with a thermometer buried
slightly in the earth. This is the reason
why some orchardists have preferred to
have the surface covered with grass.
1t must be remembered, however, that
all these questions are complicated and
cannot be settled from any one point
of view. Grass requires food as well as
trees, and if the ground is compare
lively poor the crop of grass will make
it still poorer for the crop of trees.
Other things being equal, the shade
which the grass affords under the trees
or the shade which any material may
afford. is q decided benefit.-Meehans

EDITH NUTTER ELoPEs.
But Her Friend, EIoise Hendricks,
Failed to Follow Suit.

| Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
| MARTINSVILLE, Ind, Oct. IA few
| days ago there was attempt at double
elopement of Miss Edith Nutter and Miss
Eloise Hendricks, daughters in two highly
respected families here. j. e. Smith, night
operator at the Indianapolis & Vincennes
Railway station, and Homer Mcclure, ex-
press deliverer for the Adams Express Com
pany and telegraph messenger, were the two
young men in the case. Owing to the ten
der age of the girls, both being only six
teen, the matter was given no great amount
of publicity, people thinking it a sort of
| schoolgirl freak. One of the girls made
confdante Of her schoolmate, who gave the
snap away, and their designs were frus-
trated. Dr. w. E. Hendricks was away at
the time attending a Springfield (1ll.) state
fair with his fine hogs. Mrs. Hendricks,
however, was the one who was told of their
daughters intended elopement The family
resides two miles from town, and Mrs. Hen

her daughter An officer found the girl that
evening at the home of her sweetheart,
young Mcclure and she was taken back

of absence, but will now defer his wedding
trip
Very little of the affairs of Operator Smith
and Miss Nutter is known. He had made no
provision for a substitute, even for the re-
mander of that night, and he IS supposed
to be on duty all night. Mrs. Nutter and
her son had first learned of the projected
elopement. They kept close watch on MISS
Edith until her cousin, Miss Hendricks, was
in the hands of the officer and stopped the
young peoples programme. Smith continued
at his post until yesterday morning, When
he boarded the east-bound train for Indian
apolis, saying he was going to Pennsylvania.
Last night Miss Nutter gave her folks the

night gown in the hall and the front door

OUR TRADE WITH SPAIN.
Points from a Report Submitted by
Consul GenernI RoHYen.

Consul General Bowen.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.-Consul General
Bowen has reported to the State Depart
ment on the commercial conditions in
Spain. He says from the figures 1T would
appear that Spains trade has not yet been
seriously affected by her military opera
tions in Cuba and the Philippine islands.
still there would be a very apparent de-
crease in the totals of expectations if the
amount of supplies of all kinds sent out to
the Spanish troops could be ascertained,
and until the Cuban war is ended all sta
tistics of SPANS trade, the consul says.
must be accepted as somewhat misleading.
The consul is informed by foreign CONNER
cial travellers that there is a considerably
less demand for foreign goods in Spain
than year ago and that the trade outlook
is not bright. United States exports TO
Spain consist chiefly of cotton, petroleum
and slaves and in normal times amount to
about SIS, 000, 000 but during the present year
will amount to about $l4, 900.
The SpaniardS care little for our agri-
cultural implements and machinery. Our
wheat they consider too fine. and what of
it they buy they mix with coarser Russian
grades. They consider our bicycles the
best in the world, but as they are more
expensive than English, French and Ger
man makes. few are imported. Bicycling is
not very popular in Spain, as Spanish
women do not regard wheeling in keeping
with propriety. Spain, the consul says has
a high protective tariff and it operates adj
versely TO the United States, have no
treaty with her. according to lower rates.
Another serious question is that of ex-
change. Gold is at a premium of over 80
per cent. Seven years ago 100 pesetas, In
Spanish silver or paper, would buy LOG
francs worth of French goods. To-day 13o
pesetas would have to be paid for them.
Silver, paper and copper, all on par with
each other, are the only moneys used I'm
local commercial transactions and In the
custom houses. There is practically no gold
circulation in Spain. Exchange being so
high. the prices of food and of living are,
of course, affected and the general ten
dency now is 70 ADVANCE the price OF all
and French firms during the past two
years have established factories in Spain to
meet the new conditions.

MAY cause Irritation.

WASHINGTON, Oct. The State De-
partment has not yet been officially in
formed Of the purpose of the Spanish gov
eminent to dissolve the Cortes in December,
as indicated in a Madrid cablegram 1t was
expected, however, that it would be found
necessary for the Cabinet to go to the coun-
try in order to secure the support of ma
Jority for the Liberal policy towards Cuba,
inasmuch as the present Cortes has a clear
Conservative majority whenever that
Disappointment is felt at the remote date
set for the converting of the new Cortes, for
it is presumed that any new programme
for the settlement of Cuban affairs must
be ratified by the Cortes, and if this is not
to meet until next March the long delay,
it is feared, will give rise to irritation, and
perhaps be beyond the powers of endurance
of the present administration: 1t Is pos
sible, however, that by a prompt declaration
of policy towards Cuba, couched in such
terms and made public in such fashion as
to bind the government beyond doubt that
the delay will not be serious in results.
