"A few years ago Roy Saunders found
a small patch down in his pasture by the
lake grown up to Canada thistles and in
order to kill them out plowed up and
fenced the plat of about an acre. One
day last June while up to the lake fish
ing and the fish were not biting good,
the thought struck him to set out this
patch to tobacco which he did that af-
ternoon. Monday he brought the prod
uct of that plot to town and delivered it
to M. FL. Ford. The total weight was
100 pounds and brought him S265 so.
If the bass had been biting that day in
June what lot OF money he might have
lost.

school days are over, you will suffer
the consequences. So any nation
which in its youth lives only for the
day, reaps without sowing, and con-
sumes without outstanding, must ex-
pect the penalty of the prodigal whose
labor could with difficulty find him
the bare means of life.
A people without children would
face hopeless future; country
without trees is almost as hopeless.
A true forest is not merely store
house full of wood, but, as it were, a
factory of wood, and at the same time
a reservoir of water. When you help
to preserve our forests or TO plant new
ones, you are acting the part of good
citizens The value of forestry de-
serves, therefore, TO be taught in the
schools. II your Arbor day exercise
help you to realiez what benefits each
one of you receives from the forests,
and how, by your assistance, these
benefits may continue, they will serve
good end.

POINTS A MORAL IN
THE PLANTING OF TREES

President Roosevelt has addressed
a message to the school children of
tn United States on the subject of
Arbor day. in which he advises them
to thoroughly celebrate the occasion.
He says that to reap without sowing
is to consume without outstanding,
and one must expect the penalty for
as follows:
"Arbor day is now observed in every
state in our union, mainly in the
schools. At various times you give
day or part of day to special exer-
cises and perhaps to actual tree plant
ing. in recognition of the Importance
of trees to us as a nation and of what
they yield in adornment comfort and
useful products.
1t is well that YOU should cele-
brate your Arbor day thoughtfully, for
within your lifetime the nations need
of trees will become serious. We of
an older generation can get along
with what he have, though with grow
ing hardship; but in your full man
hood and wenanhood you will want
what nature once so bountifully sup
piled and man so thoughGessly de-
stroyed. and because of that, you will
reproach us for what we have wasted.
For the nation, as for the man or
woman and the boy or girl, the road
o success is the right use of what we
have and the Improvement of present
opportunity.

selves now .or the duties and respon-
sibilities that will fall on you later.

LOCATION OF CITY POUND

Residents on Rudd avenue, between

tinuation of the city pound in that sec
