The planting of trees over all the tree

The planting of trees over all the tree
less portions of this prairie country is a
patriotic duty. Where a tree can be
grown, elms, naples and box elders
along the highways, willows in the sag
holes, trees on all rough lands border
ing all streams, let them .be splanted.
Trees modify and temper the extremes
of climate and break the force of sthe
winds the hot winds of the summer
and the storms of winter. They check
the evaporation of moisture from the
soil and increase the humidity of the
atmosphere. Every foot of the farm
available without interfering with the
proper handling of the land Tshould be
used for the culture of trees.

a NEW political party has been form
ed in North Dakota, which has its
counterpart in every state in the Union.
In North Dakota and Minnesota the
new party is led by democrats. In Iowa
and Wisconsin by republicans. The
new party is a union of honest men
from all parties, and is the party which
is opposed to machine rule and centrali-
cation of wealth. On the other side are
arrayed the %plutocrats with their
minions. 1t is not at all impossible that
the next election may see a national
ticket in the field, placed there by this
party, which as yet has no name-a
ticket at whose head will be the names
of men from both the democrat and re-
publican parties.

Peace Talk.

In the Europeans lien the question Of

ready to talk peace. To insure peace
by making war impossible is a step
that halts in the taking because one
nation is afraid some other won't play
fair. France takes a leading part in
international discussions and measures
to bring about universal peace, and yet
a French objection to disarmament is
based on the plea that all sorts of
evasions will insure and that the re-
suit will be i'll feeling and war. This
means that the nations are not ready
for disarmament and will not live up
to it's spirit if adopted at The Hague
conference.

The bridge suffered heavily In the

reasons Of safety. Finally, the cost OF
the continuous repairs became so

Combination Of Odd Stories In Regard
to the Ancient Structure.

From the Westminster Gazette.-It
is believed that in early Roman times
there was a bridge Of boats over the
Thames. This gave place to a strong,
narrow structure built by the Roman
occupiers on wooden piles. The re-.
mains Of this Roman bridge were dis
covered when the present bridge was
built. The Roman bridge was burned
in 1885, but was repaired.
nt1167 the Norman London bridge
was begun by Peter, rector Of Cole
church, in the reign Of Henry II. 1t
was not completed until 1909, a period
Of AZ years. In 1882 there was ter
rible fire on the bridge. both ends
burning furiously, while 5000 persons
were caught between the two fires
