A Prayer for More American Babies.
! tDs1ivered by Rev. P. J. Murphy. at
Olyphant, Pa, at the dedication Of a
new public high school. Father M,r-
ply is a friend and admirer of Roose-
relt.)
20 Heavenly Father, Almighty God,
We humbly beseech Thee to bless and
sanctify this school and the teachers
and pupils who will dwell therein, and
may the spirit of wisdom abide within
its walls.
MAY the good Lord open the eyes Of
American women so that they may see
that they are not patriotic if they al
low through self-love and life of ease
and luxury, the schools Of the nation
t., be filled with children Of foreign
horn parents and to permit American
homes to be filled with empty cradles.
The Lord will not hold guiltless the
American women who are unwilling,
fer selfish motives, to people this re-
public with healthy American children.
20, you American fathers, instead
Of the purpose Of leaving unnecessary
wealth to perpetuate your name and
fame may the Lord inspire you to feel
that healthy brood of children is the
best wealth you can leave as an inher-
itance to your country. You will live
in them and they in you. Although
dead you will still live. We pray Thee,
o Father, not to allow this glorious
inheritance of the fathers Of this ma
tion to pass into the hands Of the
stranger and foreigner, and that all
American women may realize that as
daughters of good old stock they are
bound in conscience before God and
man to people this country with intel
ligent, virtuous and strong children,
so that with Gods help they may grow
up as men and women Of superior
race.
eve ask Thee, O Lord, these bless
ings through Your Son, Jesus Christ.
Amen

q o Q o o Q
We pay larger tax every year for
stumps, brush, weeds and grass than
Is required to support our municipal,
county, State and federal governments,
to endow all the colleges and educate
all the youth of the land; and We get
no return. A stump not only occupies
valuable space, but 1t prevents the
use Of improved implements for better
and more rapid tillage Of the soil. The
cost Of farm labor is on the increase
with the certainty that this will con-
tinue till the equation Of wages on
the farms and in the town or city Is
more equal. The remedy for higher
priced labor on the farm is the use OF
more and better teams and imple-
ments. If the day wages on the farms
of the South advances from Is to $l.5O
then each farm hand must plow, plant,
and cultivate twice as many acres in
a day as he did before and this is an
easy problem. But the stumps must
go, and the farmer who does not try
to get rid Of them will soon be
back number. The stump farmer pays
about SO an acre every year for the
privilege Of having stumps in his
fields. In addition, there are general
ly a few feet Of untitled soil around
every field stump which produce foul
weeds and grasses to seed the land.
What has been charged against
stumps applies with still more force to
trees, shrubs and brush patches in the
field; dig. burn, destroy; they are
natural enemies Of the farmer.

square up the corners and avoid the
short rows az much as possible; they
increase the work Of tillage. :.
Farmers have become 80 accustom-
ed to fighting weeds and grass snn the
cultivated fields that they regard It al
a matter Of necessity. They think the
land Is full Of foul seeds and Of course
they will germinate when It rains.
When virgin soils are first placed
in cultivation they are comparatively
free from weeds and grass, and that
they become foul is due to faulty man
agement on the part Of the farmers.
It is not difficult to discover the real
causes. First, careless cultivation,
which allows weeds and grass to ma
ture seed in the cultivated fields. Sec
ond, little attention is paid to the
highways, the brush patches, the fence
corners and the pastures, and they are

LONGEVITY OF OLIVE TREES.
Groves That Have Been Productive
for Hundreds of Years.

The longlevity of olive trees is ex-
traordinary. In Syria recently have
been found some remarkably ancient
olive trees whose ages are established
beyond question. A trust deed exists
which relates to an orchard covering
400 trees near Tripoli, Syria, the trust
deed having been issued 499 years
ago
Though the trees look aged they
still bear fruit of fine quality in album
dance and are likely to maintain their
productiveness for many hundreds Of
years yet An olive farm near Beirut
is admitted to be the third largest
olive farm in the world. Syrian fruit
farmers are extending olive culture
with much zeal and effect. One plant.
er recently set out 100000 trees in a
block for commercial purposes.
Under European systems Of culture
the Syrians make the olive tree bear
each season, while in the old days
one crop in three years was thought
to be all that the trees could produce.
The low cropping capacity of the
trees was due to the native method Of
thrashing the fruits from the branches
with sticks, which seriously injured
them.
The methods Of grinding the olives
for oil and picking the fruit are pecu-
liar. Neither the grinders nor pick
ers receive wages, but are paid on
percentage. The pickers receive 5
percent Of the actual fruit picked and
the grinders get 10 percent Of the
fruit ground,-Dundee Advertiser.

Lighthouses.

Years ago few of the shores Of the
world were provided with lighthouses.
The few towers of light which existed
bore little resemblance to the giant
guides which shine out across the wa
tiers today. In those days the raging
pillows broke upon high cliffs, often
carrying with them the wrecks Of YES
sells which had run upon the covered
rocks. Instead of finding lifeboats
manned with brave seamen ready to
risk their lives to save others, the
wrecked crews ere often met by rob-
bers who prowled the shores ready to
plumber the half-drowned mariners.
When lighthouses were first built they
were Of little use at best, and were
so insecurity constructed that the an
, CRY waters would carry the towers
themselves away.
The lights, too, we're Of little use
compared with the use Of the fiery
rays of the modern lighthouse. At
first the light was made by the build
ing of wood fires at the top of the tow
er and later by burning Goals. Some
early lighthouses gave their light
from many candles inclosed in lantern.
like contrivances furnished with re-
fectors to add strength to their light
power. Later many oil lamps were put
together and placed in front Of me-
tallic reflector.
As time went on various kinds Of
lighthouses were tried before the en-
gineers were successful in building
powers where they were near enough
to the shores to guide the mariners
and stronge enough to Withstand the
power Of the sea. Today we have light
houses rising right out of the water.
In some of these modern structures
the light is furnished by compressed
gas supplied to the lighthouses in
tanks or made within the towers by
combination gas machines. These ma
chimes work automatically making gas
from gasoline and furnishing light
which can burn from thirty to ninety
days without attention. In some light
towers acetylene gas is being burned.
The lighthouses which used electric
light have abandoned this Illuminating
power, as its brilliancy was dazzling
to the pilots and the shadows cast by
It's rays misleading. In the United
States the use Of incandescent Wels-
bach nantes with light made form
petroleum vapor is gradually being ex-
tended,-Washington Star.

er, too. Walnut logs from which seq.
nents four inches thick may be cut
are scarce, and walnut logs from which
such segments twenty-siX feet long
bay be cut are almost impossible to
get now.
Another factor in the disappearance
Of walnut lumber is that mahogany
is much softer and easier to cut. The
Penrod mill can cut $4,000 feet of ma

Although mahogany is taking the
place of walnut over all the world, it
is not nearly so good as walnut. There
is no wood so good as walnut for fine
furniture and cabinet work. The rea-

it has a more varied and beautiful

ence. Millions Of feet Of gum logs are
shipped every year to Europe and there
cut into veneers and polished and sent
back to America and sold at a high
price for genuine Circassian walnut.
Kansas City is knewn all over the
world as the greatest walnut lumber
center Of America. This is because Of
the business done by the Penrod mill.
Its output has gone everywhere.
In hundreds of homes in Missouri
walnut wood is still used for frewood
But when a man burns walnut lum-
Der he is truly burning money, for,
while the market price Of the log is
less now than it was ten years ago,
and the demand Is less, there is a
time coming when the lumber will
be worth twenty times what it is now.
When the walnut trees that are now a
foot in diameter grow to several feet
through, they will be worth more than
any timber that grows in North AM
erica, There will always be a good
demand for timber of that size, and
the larger the tree the more value 1t
is.
