WISE OLD owl"

Some folks say there's a man in the moon
And some think COLDS in the track of
the coon,
Some will\say that red is the kind
To show to the world that its tail is
behind.
But red is for danger, and o, beware!
beware!
There's trouble for some one, if this
color is there,
This talk is all vanity, the man in the
Has got better sense than to believe a
coon.
Of all the creatures that inhabit the
land,
The possum, the birds, and the ground
hog band,
The animals and all the insects that
filters
Knows that all is not pure gold that
glitters.
When you want to farm with grandest
results:
And surprise your people with the best
Call for the OWL BRAND, CARSON
sells it,
In the fall you'll find it's the crops that
tells it.

Of Camp BTySOn, U.C.V.

Mayor Schenck was present,
and in a most eloquent speech,
paid tribute to these grand old

this city ought to be more of a
convention place-that his time
and money was at the command
of the committee for this noble
cause.

vile would entertain the reunion
if our people would contribute
literally to get it. Date proposed

TREES ALONG HIGHWAYS.

Tree planting is systematically con-
Quoted along the public highways in
Massachusetts,. AS many as fifteen
thousand trees have been set out all
ready along the roads in that state
during the past few years. It is planned
to keep this work up until every high
way in the state, or nearly every one
is tree-lined.
Why wouldn't it be good plan for
Kansas to follow suit? And the near
future would be a better time than
ary to undertake this work. It could
re done in connection with the build
ing of good roads, considerable of
which is likely to be accomplished in
this state during the next few years.
1t is not conceiva BILE that anything
in the way of public roads could be
more desirable or of more advantage
il a variety of ways than string of
sarge and handsome trees along their
des. Not only would they add much
Of beauty to the country through
which they traverse, but they would
Re helpful alike to man and beast.
They would break the heavy winds
Which prevail generally throughout
this state and make the drawing of
loads much lighter. They would be a
wonderful protection from the hot rays
of the sun with the possible exception
of the hours around noon during the
ing summer days. In these ways they
would add pounds of power to the
draught animals
Through the necessary legislative
action this work might be placed under
the supervision of the state forestry
department The expense connected
with it would not be great as COM
pared with the advantages that would
accrue from il. The matter is assured
iy worthy of consideration by the peo-
Ile of the state and their representa-
