THE JACK OAK.

The jack oak. one of the most com
mon of our western native trees, has
much to commend it as an ornamental
shade tree when it has chance to
grow and develop where it has plenty
of room. 1t then grows very symmetric-
ally, and its thick and glossy foliage of
the summer will give rare lot of col
or in the fall from blood red all
through an infinite variety of russell,
brown and maroon tints and withal
will hold every, russell leaf all through
the long winter, atfording shelter for
our winter birds and warming up the
landscape. 1t is unfortunate that it is
not long lived tree 1t will under Or
binary conditions live thirty or forty
years and will die at once if stock
tramp the ground around it.

FOOLISH PARENTS.

We know of most worthy couple
who are passing their declining years
in poverty brought about wholly by the
belief that their sons raised on the
farm knew enough to conduct mer-
camille business in a town without hav-
ing had any special training for such
business. 1t was a sad story and q
short one. The old farm which the
parents had dug out Of the wilderness
went to pay the debts and save the
boys honor and the old folks are left
to live alone as best they may. If your
boy wants to become a merchant, let
him go and serve ten years In the will
derness-commence at the bottom and
work up-before you ever put dollar
into his hands with which to COM
mence business on his own account.
Parental love and pride are very strong,
we know, but the wise man will look out
for support for himself and mother"
when they get old before he starts any
kid in business for himself. Let the
boys dig and hustle just as you did
best thing in the world for them. When
they get a dollar, then they know what
It cost

WHY FARM HELP IS SCARCE.

We are asked why it is that farm
help is so hard to get. Primarily it
may be said that it is because of the
great demand for labor in all other
lines in these times Of almost unpar-
alleled railway construction and manu-
featuring. These interests are now
paying rate Of wages which staggers
the average farmer, and men seek
these avenues Of labor partly because
of the higher compensation and partly
because they prefer to work with others
of their kind, in gangs, than to work
alone. This state of affairs forces a
new problem on the average farmer.
10 proftably employ $40 or $45 hired
man he must run his farm on different
lines from the old ones, must raise big
ger and better crops, keep a better
grade of stock and avail himself of all
modern mechanical means of doing his
farm work. In other words, he is
forced to put his work on higher and
more educated plane or be run over by
the procession.

SANITATION IN THE FARM HOME

SANITATION IN THE FARM HOME
With just ordinary care and intelli-
gence the sanitary conditions of the
farm ee.ne may be made we'll nigh
perfect, still in all too many cases this
ordinary intelligence is wanting. and
instead conditions exist which lay the
foundation for big Doctors bills and
nice obituary notices in the local paper
A we'll, furnishing the family water
supply, befouled with the offal of
stock and surface drainage; a musty
dirty, unwlolesome cellar. filling the
house with odors of rotten cabbage; a
slop dump, fly and fever breeding
pest, close by the back door: the sX.
clusiOn of fresh air and sunshine from
the bedrooms, the frying pan over
worked and too many "riz'' biscuits
are each and all bad. If women were
taught the science of home making
home keeping and domestic hygiene in
stead Of some of the fancy and utterly
useless things which society calls for,
these thiagS would not be. When the
average woman expects to get mar
ried, wants to get married, is bound to
get married if possible, we never could
understand why her sensible and prop
er training as a girl would not be in
the line of inrelligently knowing how
to take care Of husband and home
when she got what she was after.

Where the desert lands of the west
are not impregnated with alEaH they
are wonderfully productive just as
soon as water Is brought into contact
with them, far more so than ordinary
soils within the rain belt. The very
aridity which has rendered these lands
worthless has resulted in storing up in
them almost unlimited fertility.

The spring is here, but the prices are
less than were paid for tie stuff last

from the south crowds the held over

The farmer takes goud many
chances after all. Here is the soil of
his farm. which he may know pretty
well about. but here is the season. he
utterly in the dark as to whether it
will be hot and dry or cold and wet;
whether hail cyclone or insect pest
will snite his crop; whether the mar
ket for, his crop will be good or bad.
And so he goes 1T blind, by faith and
by guess, the only thing upon which
he can bank being the law of crop
averages. This is really taking more

DEED OF WHITE BRUTES
TWO MEN ASSAULTED WOMEN
 IN TENNESSEE.
After Accomplishing Their Purpose The Men Beat and Stab bed Their Victims-o of
 Them 80 Years Old.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 15.--A special to The Journal from Chattanooga. Tenn. says most horrible crime was committed Thursday night an Indian Springs, about three miles from this rity.
 Aunt Matilda Strength. a woman about 80 years of age. and Lizzie King, % years of age, were criminally assault ed and then beaten, knifed and left pros trate on the ground by two white men.
 Bud Wilson and Alex Armour, two white men living near this city, are in jail charged with the crime. The men are about 50 years Of age. Wilson has a wife and six children. while Armour is a widower with several grown chil- dren.
 Wilson was arrested almost at the scene of the crime lying in a drunken stupor and he admitted his guilt. Armour was captured eight miles away by Deputy George D. Barnes within three hours af- ter he left the scene of the crime. He was starting for Georgia.
 The story of he crime is horrible one. The two men went to the home of the two women, who live by raising chickens and telling fortunes. with whis- ky and got. the King woman about half drunk. She refused to accede to an im- proper proposal and they assaulted her.
 Aunt Tilda," in response to her cries for assistance, rushed to her aid. AS she started into the house. she was knocked down and assaulted by Armour.
 After accomplishing tnelr purpose. the drunken men proceeded to beat, cut and kick the two women and finally started away. leaving them nude and prostrate on the ground and in an unconscious con ziition.
 The King woman had her left arm broken, rib broken. and the brute then cut an inch of her upper lip open, split her nose and knifed and beat her all over, and then jumped on her with his feet and ground her into the earth.
 The injuries of the elder woman were not so serious, but she Was terribly bruised, and on account of her extreme age. it is fears-i that she can not with stand the shock.
 Negroes near witnessed the crime, but were frightened away by the two men, and when they finally gave the alarm and
