power of the press as follows:
"Given IA free press we may defy
open or insidious enemies of lib

everything which would raise it

trees, possibly having in mind the
old crooked apple tree of my child

in abundance. That cherry orchard
composed Of crooked trees was my
constant delight and proved a success
in every way. The trees were not re-
markedly crooked, but they were not
straight enough to be sold for first
class trees. After the trees had grown
in the orchard five or 10 years they
became as straight rs any trees that
could be found, No one would have
thought in later years that these trees
had ever been crooked.
In buying trees there are other CON
siderations of greater value than the
straightEess of the trunks, which so
many planters value so highly. The
question as 70 whether the trees are
