TREES MORE VALUABLE THAN
 SIDEWALKS.

That other cities value the shade trees and the shade more than they do sidewalks is shown by an inter- view recently published in a Fort Smith paper and given out by Henry Strother, a prominent resident of that city. who recently returned there from d tour of several cities Mr. Strother among other things says:
 Louisville and the other large cities are alive now to the importance If parks and the value of forest trees. l notice in St Louis and Louisville both that an opening was left in the side walk for the tree, where there was a majestic shade tree, instead of cut ting the tree down to have on un- broken sidewalk Shade is more val uable there than sidewalks
 The members of the city council, who insist on destroying valuable shade trees in this city to make room for concrete walks, ought to take notice of this statement and think awhile The shade trees of this city ought te he preserved instead of de- stroyed and the little consideration being given them by the city's lesis- lative body is not very commendable

southern states, says Opportunity. !t has been pointed out that in crops alone new methods can jncreas" the yield ten fold.
 The south is like 4 great giant whose strength has never been iniIS dcvnloned Immigrants are being landed at southern ports where ta-
 bor conditions are good and wage" are plenty Factory men have come to realize the nndeVeloped wealth o' those states. bankers and merchants
 have seen the signs of proseprity vbi1. inc great railroad systems af the nation are pushing their lines lh- to every corner of the South. Ihe work of patient, enthusiastic, persist ent. energetic men during the past uuartcr of century has had it's eff feet. Statesmen and business men alike now never question the state ment that the development of the South means the development of the nation.
 In studying the economic forces which are making the South progreS- siye and influential as q commercial section, the great part of which Ten ncssee, Arkansas and Mississippi the "Tri-StateS.' or more appropriate, the '"Try-States," have played and are now playing, cannot be overestmated. These states, like their sister states, have passed through the wilderness: :: their people are now in sight of the promised land.
 No state has ever had a harder grade to climb than Tennessee. A"- kansas and Mississippi. yet no state has d brighter future.
 Upon entering such cities as Jack son, in Tennessee, Jonesboro, in Ar kansas, and Clarksdale. in Mississippi, the visitor is favorably impressed with the great volume of business. Instead of finding the traditional long, white bearded colonel, he finds energetic wde-awake business men. who have something to sell. and who are anx- ious to sell what they have. In short the South is q nation of undeveloped wealth, and Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi, as part Of that natloil, are sharing in the milk and honey.

MAKES NEW PLANS

Rev. Father Thomas F. Jansen, rect
or of Holy Angels church, Gary, has
decided TO convert the parish publica-
tion into a monthly magazine. Here
tofore it has been in the nature of a
monthly bulletin, similar to those now
published by other parishes. However,
the unusual patronage given the pub
lication has caused Father Jansen to
raise 1t to a higher plane.
Steps will be taken to enlarge the
magazine, which will be known as the
Parish Monthly" It will contain the
latest local as we'll as diocesan ana
foreign intelligence, and will be hand
somely Illustrated. The magazine will
be entered as second-class mail. VIII

Sewing Work Is Interesting.
The display of sewing work was re-
markably creditable, most of the gar
ments shown, some of which were made
by children down in the fifth grade,
being sufficiently well done to do
credit to much older and more expert
enced sewers. The garments were al
most all useful ones, such as aprons,
petticoats and the like.
Each of the rooms had its own IN
dividual exhibit posted upon the black
boards and on the desks of tn echil-
dren responsible for the work, which
rendered it easy for parents to COM
pare the work of their own hopefuls
with that of their mates.
Owing to the Crown Point track and
field meet today. the schools were not
kept open today as is the custom on
these occasions, after 10 a. M, but for
such patrons as found 1T Impossible to

unusual interest in the exhibition,

satisfaction in the mechanical drawings
which are a part of the manual train

were unusually numerous and credit
able and were on exhibition at the Nc
Kinley school. The wood work includes
many useful and ornamental pieces of
