OUR FRUIT TREES TO BE SAVED.

Prof. Leopold Trouvelot, Of the as

along that line. Disease was attack

has tempered with congress, with leg

and many other. public institutions,
has nleddled with financial and indus
trial corporations. and has made WaH
street dance TO his music. Quite re-
Gently, however, he has tried himself
in new role, by espousing the cause

y. Y. who was a candidate for re
election at the recent village election.
The citizens did not wish to reflect
tho village president, but Mr. Rookie
fellow wanted him elected for some
reason Of ether, and Of course, re-elset-
Cd the man, by making the hundreds
of Italian laborers employed on his
estate cash their votes for his ca1axli-
date. The citizens of North larry
town evidently did not know how fu-
tile it was to oppose Mr.. Rockefeller
when he has once set his mind upon

very edge of one of the window lodges. He was almost afraid to move at first for fear of frightening the cat into taking step that would result in her falling. So he began moving toward the animal very cautiously. The cat was favorite and he was particularly anxious to save her
 The cat, however, thought MT. Sum- mers wanted to play. and she made a leap which took her completely out of sight. The frightened observer felt that it was all over with pussy, and he hurried to the window to see if she had reached the street. He could not see her anywhere at first. Then he looked toward another window, and there was the cat perched on the ledge as comfortable as you please. She must have jumped nearly eight feet along the side of the wall, hundreds of feet above the street.
 Its all right; talk as you please about the performance" said MT. Sum- mers, but confidently believe that the cat risked every one of her nine lives on that occasion"

DO NOT PRoLoNe CALLS.
Lingering at Meal Times Makes One
 UnpOpuIar.

Unpopular.
 When paying calls on ones friends whether formally or informally. do not utterly disregard the hours for meals for it is not good form to finger until the lunch or the dinner hour when you have not been invited for the neal. If you do, you are likely tt place your friend in an awkward posi- tion. Either she must ask you to re main because she feels it necessary, or she has the meal delayed waiting for you to take your departure
 Do not put yourself in the position of allowing either of these alternatives to occur, for no housekeeper likes the routine interfered with, and unex. pected guests are not apt to be popu. lar, for in all we'll regulated house holds the table is as conventionally laid for luncheon as for dinner, and tc rearrange It at the last moment ne cessitates considerable change and special orders for the kitchen. All oi which many housekeepers dislike. and therefore do not feel obliged to invite callers at the last moment.
 If you are really wanted. you will be asked during the early part of your call, for the hostess who wants yor will insist that you take off your hat not ask you in this spontaneous way do not embarrass her by remaining until the moment the meal is an nounced
 No well-mannered hostess allows her maid to announce a meal while a caller is present, and If the visitor is the lunch or dinner is often delayed until it IS almost spoiled for cooked foods should be eaten as soon as they are done. This waiting Is a trial to the housekeeper and a ,ause of irritation to her husband f she has one. and the visitor respon- ,ible for such state is never popular n that family.
 When you ask guests to a meal. If me of them is late. do not wait more han ten minutes At the expiration If that time the meal should be served This is only fair to your punctual ,uests, who deserve to have a good linner, and not one that has been poiled by standing. In order to get heir guests together at just the right ime some hostesses resort to the sub ! erfuge Of naming a dinner hour half n hour earlier than they mean to Iave the meal served. This gets the ardy one there on time. but it is not uite fair to the punctual ones. who re kept waiting. That old adage' is the courtesy of kings, hould be observed by everyone Washington Post.

underlying secret of this practice IS not so much to have as to know how to save, says the Charleston News and Courier. One cannot hope to success fully economize without preparation oi some sort, and this preparation can only come from personal experience and sometimes very little personal ex. perience, for it does not come natural ly within the province of human na, ture to profit by the experience oi others.
 To the very poor. those who live from hand to mouth and from day to day, with no assurance for the flu. ture, there can be no such thing as tragedy to permit of any niceties oi calculation. Among the very rich who apparently have no need what ever for its use, we often find the practice freely indulged in, perhaps from an instinctive desire to retair firm hold upon their possessions. pos sibly because of the early training which enabled them to amass their millions. It is, however, to the men and women who occupy that vast mid dle ground in life-the boundaries oi which are limitless, its population ever increasing and it's resources in. sufficient-that the spirit of economy appeals with such insistent force.

CHOSEN PEOPLE OF AMERICA.
Westcrners Have Heritage or the
 Best Blood of Other Secfionx.

|
 Best Blood of Other Sections. The west-what a heritage the
 word impliesi Here is the best blood
 of New England, of the middle states
 and of the south. Here are the sons
 and daughters of the revolution and
 of the wars of human freedom Here
 too, have come the sturdy sons of
 northern Europe, toilers of the work
 shop and blow, descendants of the hardy Germanic races who cradled modern democracy in the forests of the North Sea and the Danube, or brothers of those who still fight for home rule for Ireland. In short, says the article by the late ex-Gov. John A. Johnson in the Worlds Work, the God of American destiny has by selective process visited the best races and the best states and countries of the earth. and wherever he could find souls filled with courage and self-reliance. hearts yearning for freedom and home, hands eager for hard work, eyes open for opportunity, and shoulders pre- pared for responsibility.
 And what natural resources the builders have found ready to- their hands! Gold and silver, iron and cop per, coal and oil, forest and pasture ranges. valley on valley of the most fertile soil that ever enriched thrifty settler or brought prosperity to na- tion-these are among the resources that, touched by the hand of toll and the genius of American science and capital, have brought forth in the val ley of the Mississippi and on the Pacific slope industrial achievements without parallel in the annals of the human race.
 Marvels of actual achievement stand put in bolder outline because of the early eastern pessimism- It is scarce ty half a century since the leading agricultural journal of that day doubted the ability of the prairie soil of the middle west to produce profit able crops of wheat, oats and corn- To-day the west produces two-thirds of the grain crop of the United States; enough to feed not only it's own pop nlation but a large part of the east. The income of the west from this sea sons grain crop alone exceeds the total income credited by MuIhall to Great Britain for the year 1922 from iIl industrial resources combined.

BACK TO THE RIVER

Changes That Are Talking Place in Western TraEspOrtatfon.
 Forty years ago when newspapers ,tronicled, daily, the arrival and de oarture of the boats that piled between St. Louis and Omaha. there was only one railroad-the Hannibal and St. Joseph-save one branch of no great importance. Freight charges were high for river carriage. and the people looked to the railroads for relief and expedition. Eventually they got what they wanted, and now the people are calling for boats and praying for relief from the railroads, Golfers says. Few pits of contemporary history are more interesting than that Kansas City is going back to the river. where it start ed There will be no more "dinky" little side-wheel river boats. It will nave long craft of steel with water light compartments, great freight-car wing capacity and low superstructure. When the boat had been decided upon ast spring. Walter s. Dickey was ,hosen to take charge of the project
 
 years ago Lawrence M. Jones, a mer- chant, organized a boat-line company and navigated the Missouri successful y for a season with small boats bought by contributions. MT. Dickey lecided to make the boat line pay divi- lends. To this end he obtained freight contracts from shipping interests guar inteeing a satisfactory return on an investment and then called for stock contributions. The first man to re- ;pond was William Rockhill Nelson, editor and owner of the Star, who took ,50,000 of the issue. One after another he successful men of business sub ;cribed for stock until today more han one-half of the necessary million las been disposed of. Every man in Kansas City, important or obscure, if le owns a home or pays taxes of any kind, will be asked to buy stock in the boat line. The company can get it's million, but it is hoped to have every >ne interested. Kansas Cty's popula- ion this year is more than 375,O00. It has grown 25.000 a year for two years. If it could make that record with oppressive railroad rates, what .an 1t not do in ten years with water It is not hard to under stand the importance of a boat line. when you hear that Minneapolis and St. Paul have an advantage over Kan ,as City-although they are further vest from New York than Kansas S6.40 per ton on first-class freight. This makes an enormous sav- ng in one year for these cities over Kansas City.
