CORK YOU? OH!

San Francisco Feb. 5.-America
may some day grow it's own cork
trees, if experiments now being con-
Quoted at the National Plant Intro
duction Garden at Chico, Cal, are sue
cessful. Fifteen thousand cork oaks
are now being propagated from acorns
received from Spain. This is the first
attempt to Introduce the cork oak into
America for commercial purposes.
The cork oak from the bark OF
which corks are manufactured, is OF
Spanish origin and is the basis of an
important industry in Spain. About
twenty years is required for the tree
to reach the commercial valuable
stage when the outer bark is removed.
The threes continue to thrive, how
ever. and yield an annual crop of bark.

Friday was a very pleasant day-not too
warm and not too cool-and The boys enjoyed
it thoroughly.
In the forenoon VIII and Herb took
tramp through the woods and climbed to the
top of the mountain, back of the camp, to
pet view Of the surrounding country. Mark
and Percy took sail on the ,river-Mark's

to stones-,were but ter. feet apart. but, be-
ing obliged to swim to bases and when chas-
ing the ball, they had ten times the fun and
excitement they would have had in playing
the same game on land.
Mark laughed so hard once, when Ed had
to chase ball that he had batted about two
hundred yards down the river, that his knees
gave way beneath him, and Will and Herb
had to go and hold him up out Of the water
until his mirth subsidized.

to the, end OF the line and looked at the broken
strands.
"Well. we can tell them we hooked bigger
fish than Abe Marcott caught, anyway-that
he was SO big that we couldn't pull him in,
eyes; .they'll believe al that SO fast!" said
Mark, bitterly.
Then, as he wound up the balance of the
line and tied it. he continued:
you may as well row in. We've got
enough fish for breakfast, at any rate"
Percy rowed back to camp. and they were
met as they landed by Win and Herb.
well. let's see your fish, called Herb, as
he came down to the boat.
Percy held up two of the fish he had caught
and the two bass Mark had caught.
"How are they?" he asked, proudly.
"By George, those are pretty nice ones!"
said Herb. Guess Wen have fish for break

Ed came sauntering leisurely down to the
boat and took a seat on the prov while Percy
showed him the fish.

after a moments breathless waiting. "In

Mark had evidently hooked his monster
fish; for, with this exclamation, he grasped
the line with both hands, and began pulling
at it for dear life.
Look out you don't break the line" eau
toned Percy, when he saw Mark exerting all
the strength he had on the line. "Myl he
must be big fellow"
Mark pulled and tugged at the line, and,
hand over hand, slowly drew the fish in
toward the boat. Then of sudden there
was splash in the water few yards from
them, and. looking, they say a fish as long
as Marks arm, with their line hanging from
its mouth, leap right up out of the water.
