church socials, suppers and pic.
MICS. school entertainments, lit
erary meetings and numerous
other affairs, and we chez rful Iy
give the space for the benefit
of the community. Sometimes
we think charity should begin
at home. If we should charge
for the space thus used, which
should rightfully be done, we
might have both butter and jam
on our bread, while now some.
times even one is rather scarce.
There are many more things
that the country newspaper
man has to contend with which
make him rather weary, aud
sometimes it seems as though
he would rather do anything
else than run a paper.
No doubt all the brethren
present will agree with me that
the most unpleasant and diff
cult task in our line is the writ
ing Of lengthy obituaries. When
we have six or eight of these
articles to write in one week.
which occasionally occurs, it is
not surprising if the entire issue
assumes a rather blue tone. In
writing up weddings we have
not so mucl trouble in finding
fitting words, as the bride is
always handsome and accom-.
plished," no matter where she
halls from.
These are Il few of the things
we have to contend with, and I
hope you have not been wearied
listening to another's troubles,
as you probably have enough

The success of country news.
paper depends largely upon
having correspondents in all
parts of the county. We have
very large force of these re-
porters, and it may happen that,
owing to the peculiar chirogra-
ply of one or the other, the
editor in preparing the copy
may give an item an entirely
different meaning from what is
intended. One of these slips"
happened to us not long ago.
Among the items of a CORE.
spondent was one which, as we
read it, was as follows: "Mr.
is the proud possessor of
twin babies"
A few days later the gentle.
man in question came to town
and was congra tulated by his
friends upon the addition to his
family. He was at a loss to
know to what they referred and
when informed that the item
had appeared in our paper made
a bee line for the office and de
manded to see a copy of the
issue. He read the item. and
it may be imagined how we
shriveled when he informed us
that no twin babes had arrived
at his house, but one of the COWS
had twin calves. We explained
in what manner the mistake had
! occurred, and, upon promising
to correct it in the next issue.
he went away fully satisfied.
1t is an impossibility to keer
at peace with the entire com
munity. You are bound to of
tend some one. If Tom Jones'
one of our subscribers, should
buy or sell pig at the stock
fair and the important event
should not be duly chronicled
by us he would probably say
unmentionable things and write,
disseminating his paper.

The editor of the metropolitan

much more difficult position to

was tried for high treason in September. 1913.

At Owens grave little lesson in forestry

dead pine tree some fifteen feet in length 1t
was brought all the way from the Brown home
in the Ad:rondacks. a thriving young tree then,
and planted near the cabin to remind the boys
of home. But, like Owen Brown, it could not
Withstand transplanting.
The government is scattering seeds OF pines
in many places in the mountains, numerous
owners of confscated mountain camps viii bear
witness. The room that the Brown brothers
called home contains many sacks of seeds Of
trees that are dealt out to the eight men to
plant. So each of the men who live IN tents
surrounding the cabin is given a pouch full Of
seed every day, and they start out with can
teens and grubbing hoes. They wear broad SOM
breros, khaki trousers and Ieggings, and work
eisht hours a day, for which they are paid 81 IS
and board cook is kept to get meals on
time.
They have already planted several hundred
acres on Brown Mountain, overlooking Pasa-
dena a region that has been denuded by fire in
the last few years, and they Will plant as long
as the government furnishes money. and longer,
perhaps, because public spirited citizens, led by
the Pasadena Board of Trade, raising funds
by private subscription. The forests have been
burned to such extent that many streams
have dried up, and the hardship resultant Is
felt by all classes from the electric power COM
pany down to the small boy who misses his
swimming hole. Millions of dollars worth of
fruit and other products suffer for lack of irri-
CATION since the natural watersheds have been
impaired.
The idea of reforestation in this region was
originated by T. P. Lukens, of Pasadena, who
was formerly president OF a bank in that city
and resigned on account of i'll health. He had
always loved the mountains. and when the cry
of the people rose account OF the drouth he
resolved to see what could be done. He was
helped IN his work by his practical experiences
as a nurseryman years ago. By agitation
