causing their neighbors to become adj

Furthermore, they wished to so develop
interest along this line that every town
in the state and many country com
munities should catch the planting and

all was the retaining of big strip of

and its transformation into a pretty
stretch of trees and grass and flowers

section of the town and the desired

There have been marked changes in the
waste place since last fall, when the
work on it began. The brush thicket
bordering a swampy banked stream that
was an ideal incubator for mosquitoes
and malaria germs has been removed.
Trees walks and flowers have appeared,
and there are two little lakes. The
winding creek has been changed into 4

"One of the principal things the club

packers on the post mortem inspection
controversy has been given out by the
committee appointed at Mondays meet
ing of the Chicago Live Stock exchange.
They will refuse to sell cattle of what

all classes of cattle prior to the con-
summation of sales and extends to the
packers the privilege of selecting and

GOT IN HIS HAY.
PRESIDENT Roosevelt Harvested His
Crop at Sycamore Hill.

new York, July 11.-President Roose-
Welt yesterday gathered his hay crop on
MS Sycamore Hill farm. Edward Ma
loney of East Norwich L. l., who work
cd at the task, told the story last night
in the village store in his home town.
He said:
About o'clock in the afternoon the
president came out to the field. He was
dressed in a white suit, a soft white
shirt and tie to match. After a hearty
greeting and handshakes all around be-
gan to help the man who was pitching;
with me loading. Before the first load
was done, you wouldn't have given
thirty cents for that white shirt, and
talk about sweat drops like peas, why.
the president had them as big as black
walnuts dropping from his face. He
didn't stop to wipe them off, either, but
kept right on pitching up forkfuls so big
that he had to get under them and
shove them UP to me.
Talk about hay pitchers, he's a won
der. After we got two wagons loaded,
drove to the barn with the president
in the lead, fork on shoulder, and when
we reached the hay barn, the president
climbed up on my load and then into
the NOW, where he took the hay from
the fork and moved it away with more
big drops falling from him.
Two telephone calls from Secretary
Loeb failed to take the president from
his work, although the business was inn
portant, the laborer said. After the
days work was finished the president
babe the men good afternoon and with
another handshake all around, he said
he would be on hand again tomorrow
to finish the hauling.
Maloney, upon being asked if he would
be on the job again tomorrow, said: mo
not If the president is going to fire them
up as he did today" He had enough,
he said, although Mr.. Roosevelt only
pricked him once with the tines of the
pitchfork. Meloney appeared somewhat
weary last night, but was nevertheless
proud of having worked in the field with
the president.
