or recovering from serious operations.
Why should this be the case? Sim

FRANCE AND SPAIN
WILL COOPERATE
Take Measures to Safeguard
the Lives and Property
of Foreigners at Tangier
POWERS IN ACCORD

PARIS. Nov. 25.-The measures which
France and Spain have agreed to take
together, in view of the increase of
anarchy in, Morocco, have been made
public. They are strictly precautionary
and are designed solely to meet the
requirements of an emergency and to
safeguard the lives and property of for
eigners at Tangier. Pending the for
NAL policing of the ports of Morocco,
to be undertaken eon the final ratifica-
tion OF the international agreement
reached at Algeciras, each power will
maintain warships at Tanger and be
prepared to land 1000 men. France has
decided to send the battleships Suffren,
st. Louis and Charlemagne, in COM
mand of Admiral Touchard, to replace
the cruisers Galilee, Jeanne dare and
Forbin. which are now in Moroccan wa
ters. The Lanive viii accompany the
French vessels for the purpose of
transporting troops from Algeeiras
should landing become necessary.
1t is distinctly understood that this
joint movement will not assume the
nature of an occupation, nor are the
French or Spanish flags to be raised
over Morocco. The mission of the
troops is limited to safeguarding and
establishing the authority of the
Pasha at Tangier as against Raisuli."
Several signatories of the A1geciras
compact have given their approval in
advance to the terms of this agreement,
while others are notifying France and
Spain that no objection to them is an

While right through it flowed the
river,
Dirty. muddy, small Rogue River.
In this lovely Grants Pass city,
Was High School great and growing,
Bright the pnpils in this High School.
Six there we're who studied Botany,
Very helpful. useful Botany,
Interesting, pleasing Botany;
And their wise and learned teacher,
Took them out to study Nature,
Out into the fields and meadows.
Out along the roads and highways;
Soon these pupils say posy,
Just common, roadside posy,
Twas a weed. no count they thought
it.
But they wanted to be learning,
Finding out and studying nature.
So they asked their learned teacher,
Saying, "Whst is this, Oh Teacher9"
And the teacher took the rosy,
Gazed long and intently at it.
Then he said, my pupils"
Take your books and trace it down.
wards
For yourselves the name discover.
So the pupils did as bidden-
Took their books and searched and
hunted,
Carefully from top to bottom
OF each page, they searched and
hunted;
Soon thteir patience was rewarded,
Soon they found the name aud species
Twas the Taraxacum Weber,
In the class Oficinsl;
And the family composite.
Thus these pupils worked and
studied
Studied books and studied Nature;
Studied all times. ever, always,
Till in all the Grants Pass country,
All along the great Rogue River,
Over all the encircling mountains,
There was not flower or posy,
Not weed or grass or tall tree
That these pupils couldn't give
you
At least half dozen names for,
Couldn't tell you all about them,
How they grow and where to find
them
Of their roots and stems and branches,
Of their colors, forms aud texture.
Thus it is that great endeavor,
Earnest, hard work. never shrinking,
Will bring knowledge soou or later.
So if you would know the flowers,
Know their names and where they 'er
growing,
/ will say, as did that teacher,
Take your books and trace them
downward
For yourselves the names discover. -

FRUIT GROWING.


Proper Pruning.
Fifteen years ago fruit growing In
Orleans and Niagara counties New
York, had come to that point where II
was considered failure Farmers
and fruit growers were ready to-and
many dld-cut down their orchards,
not on account of the price of fruit be-
ing low, but because they failed to
bear. Year after year this continued,
with now and then an occasional light
crop, and If those conditions had CON
tlnued few years longer the apple
orchards of western New York would
have been practically wiped out But
what change All at once the or
chards began to bear, at first every
other year, then. with but few excep-
lions, every year. The prices Of farms
that had gone away down until it was
hard to find buyers Mt ahy figure began
to pick up until the valuations doubled
and in many instances trebled the orig
inal purchase price.
Farmers longed for the trees that had
been cut down and felt like kicking
themselves all over the farm to think
that they knew no better. But what
caused this change? This is and prob
ably always will be a disputed ques-
ton. Some hold that 1t was better cul-
tlyation, thorough spraying, proper
trimming, etc Others hold that it just
happened so in the order of things and
that cultivation, spraying. ETC. had lit
tie to do with It, But still they all, or
nearly all, spray, and the orchard that
once was sod bound, with brush heap
tops, now is as carefully pruned and
cultivated as any crop on the farm,
