ance and Trust company. His address,
in response to the toast "Los Angeles
An Object Lesson in Advertising" was
full of interest and contained a fund
Of timely advice for the guild.
"LoS Angeles" he said, sis an object
lesson to all the advertisers and press
agents in the country. This city has
been SO well advertised that others
come here to see how we do it. 1t has
attracted attention throughout the
country. 1t is like unto that city spoken
off In holy writ. 1t is a city on hill
and cannot be hid. That it has at
tanned this eminence is due in the
largest measure to the advertising man.
You men can, I am told, advertise
an article and sell it whether 1t has
merit or not. But the article which has
merit obviously has the greatest sue
cess. In Los Angeles you have that
which is of undoubted merit, and in ad-
vertising it there is little wonder that
1t has made such a big success"
L. Fl. Mertz, secretary and treasurer
of the coast organization, spoke at
some length, outlining the history of
the order since its inception and stat
ing the principles on which advertising
was based and which had made it the
business science by which promotion
Is achieved"
Rev. Baker P. Lee, rector of Christ
church, advocated advertising for the
church, and gavesa decisive affirmative

Savings bank, told of the advantages
which accrued to the savings bank from
advertising, and Byron Erkenbrecher,
president of the Los Angeles realty
board, showed how the real estate men
reaped great benefits from their ads.
The general subject of advertising was
the theme for an interesting talk by e.
Cressy Morrison, which concluded the
program as far as the verbal part OF 1t
was concerned.
The officers of the local association
are: G. w. Fleming, governor; ]. w.

TREES AS SOIL BINDERS.
Denuded Tracts Which Are the
Worse for Their Lack Of
Ill., 80 Treo6. - = -.

f. In our haphaZard methods of farm
ing we have uncovered much land
that never should have been exposed
to the elements, rain, sun and winds.
The trees have been the great help
ers of Dame Nature in her attempts
to reduce chaotic conditions to order.
The great glaciers and the floods Of
past ages left the land in condition
where every rain quilted it and every
wind sent the fine sands from place to
place. In such localities nature in
the course Of centuries planted her
innumerable host Of trees. They rose
out of the sandy wastes and covered
them with grateful shade. When the
driving wind came it found not dry
soil ready to be borne aloft, but =
moist surface ont of which grew the
moss and new shoots. It could not
be blown. The trees shed their
leaves on the soil that had been dry
and movable, and still more protect
ed it from the sun that dried 1t and
the wind that blew it. The rain no
longer corrOded the hillside; for it
fell on the dead leaves, and from
them OoZed into the soil beneath.
There it found countless millions CT
rootlets interlaced in every direction
and it could not move the soil parti-
cles beld by them. 1t took many
hours to travel a few hundred feet
through the ground, and under the
leaf mold. Much Of it was absorbed
by the leaf mold above, and this
great wet blanket prevented the sun
and wind from drying out the surface
soil. Man in his ignorance and i'm
providence denuded not only the
plains and the rolling lads, but also
the sandy ridges and the clayey hill
tops. The leaf mcld disappeared. often
as a. result of the fires started
among the loppings of the trees. The
old arbcreal giants that had held the
loose soils in subsection were ami
hilated and their roots rotted in the
ground. There was then nothing to
prevent the soil becoming dry and
friable. The winds blew it and the
torrents cut great burrows through it.
We have seen large areas of sloping
land quilted to depth of five and six
feet. It is impossible to use such
land for any kind of farm operations.
The only thing possible to do is TO
put back the trees. The uneven sur
faces. which are now of no use, will.
then be bearing crop that man
needs
At Cairo, Ill.,, an illustration may
be seen Of this use of trees as soil
binders. The trees there form
small forest. and keep the soil both
from washing and blowing. On our
farms are many neglected spots of
the mature indicated The only pos
sible way to make them useful Is to
plant trees on them. Where the soil
is very light. sand-loving trees, like
the white pine and the white birch,
will have to be selected: Their pres
ence will prove in many ways bene-
fit to the farm-Farmers' Review.

PERTAINING TO THE DAIRY.

Milk is composed of several elements,
chief of which are milk. sugar. casein
and butterfat.
Under no circumstances will it pay to
keep cow which is not a large mixer
and butter maker.-American Dairy
man.
Sell the regular customers only the
finest quality of butter and the trade
will not only continue, but increase.
Arrange the approach to the stable
door so the COWS will not slip in going
in or coming out. 1t will cost less than
to lose one of your best. cows.
A good steady churnins is better Than
to churn at too rapid a rate, whatever
be the shape of the churn. Too much
haste leaves butter in the milk.
Keep COWS comfortable. quiet and
busy eating and drinking materials to
be converted into milk. An idle or ex-
cited COW will not render satisfactory re-
turns.-American Dairyman
" When buying cows for dairy herds It
Is a good plan to determine the amount
of milk given by weight. a COW that
gives '.pailful' night and morning
may be very poor dairy animal.

THE BULL IN THE HERD.
His Value 1nestimable- a De-
sirable Animal May Be OBJ
tanned Reasonably.

There is one thing that every farm
er who keeps five or more COWS should
have, and that is a good, well-bred
bull. It is often repeated that the bull
is half the herd; if had never heard
the expression and were to speak from
experience, l would say two-thirds.
No farmer who has never used a good
bull for several years in succession
can anywhere near estimate the real
worth of such an animal. Years ago
I led my cows several miles to obtain
the service of good BULL says writer
in American Dairyman My neighbors
laughed at me, saying l had more
walk than brains; but now they See
things differently and are only too
glad of the chance to pay a little extra
to get the service of my bull 1t is
not necessary to expend large sum
OF money in buying a bull. If you
know of some man who has given a
little attention to good stock you can
buy a calf from one of his best COWS
at very reasonable price. BY giving
the calf good care, which costs but
little, you will in a very short time
have bull that is a prize in the herd
and your money expended will be re-
turned il the first five calves You raise
from him.

THE STREETS OF LONDON
Are Inferior to Those of New York in
Some Respects as Here
Shown.

London has 5000 miles OF streets.
There are 100000 buildings upon them.
OF which a considerable portion are rear
buildings.
New York, smaller than London in
population, has 1900 miles of streets, OF
which $50 miles are in Manhattan, $50 in
the Bronx, $50 in Brooklyn, 800 in
Queens and about 500 in Richmond. In
Queens and Richmond there are more
than 500 miles of unpaved streets. In
Manhattan, except in the small Inwood
district, all the streets are paved. and
are better paved than the streets of Lon
don, says the New York Sun.
The number of buildings in New York
Is $50 900, materially less than the num-
Der in London, but New York has very
much larger number of higher buildings
than the English capital.
London has many more by-streets.
side-roads, alleys, lanes and squares
thanTNew York; it has more crooked
streets, it has more small streets. it has
more byways than New York, but in pro-
portion to its population it has fewer
streets, fewer arteries of travel. than
New York, and as consequence the
traffic of London is more often con-
gested at certain points than the traf-
f1c of New York.
While in New York the growth Of
population and of business is along and
corresponds to the growth of main
throughfares, in London it proceeds ir-
regularly, with theresult that improve
ments in the way of cutting through the
widening streets are constantly being
made necessary.

For a moment the two newcomers
looked at one another, hardly knowing
whether to be civil or not. The better

as is customary, protfered q flask, they
drank to his good health.

me was his intimate friend years ago."
After the two officers had pitched
their tent, cooked and eaten supper be-

around it and he told the old hermit
story. The wild mans night visit
months before was not omitted, and
