USE BRAINS In THE
PLANTING OF TREES

Melrose, N. NJ. May 1S.-Two men
here, the Love brothers. have shown
the inhabitants that tree planting.
mixed with brains, will work wonders.
They thoroughly plowed a strip of
ground about the business corner and
after setting trees in the driest year
on record have succeeded by cultivation
and simple watering device in Sc
curing fine results. They ran small
ditch along their row and far enough
up the street so that, by putting a
small dixie across the street, they could
catch the run-off water after showers.
AS result they gathered the rainfall
OF many acres and ran 1T about their
trees.
Melrose has now had the third soak
ing in As hours and the W hole country
is now ready to admit that this is the
year of jubilee Even the most skepti-
cal newcomers are joining in the con-
fidence OF the old timers The water
holes are beginning to fill up and the
frogs keep up such croaking as few
expected to hear in New Mexico.

Great in Baseball.
In the reception and entertainment of
August Hermann. grand exalted ruler of
the Elks and one of the leading business
men of Cincinnati, Garry Herman, the
baseball magnate has been more. or less
lost sight of. Garry Hermann, chair
man of the National baseball commits
sion, is the biggest man in baseball to-
day
Together with Ban johnson. president
of the American league, and president
Lynch. of the National league, Hermann
controls the destinies of baseball at the
present time. He is chief Justice of the
highest tribunal in the affairs of the
graet American game. He holds cor
responding position in baseball that he
does in the grand lodge of Elks. But his
Elkdom honOrs are for but one year,
while in baseball he's a permanent
fixture in the high offices of the or
ganization and it has been due to his
efforts that baseball has been cleaned of
all faint and kept clean. He is a busi-
ness man and conducts the affairs of the
National commission in a business like
way.
His reports are the reports of an ex-
pert baseball engineer and scientist and
much of the credit for the advancement
OF the great American game is due to
his efforts and work.

The war between Russia and Japan

And there have been many moro
stamps issued more or less directly as
the result of wars. They are in them

~ HILATELISTS the world over are
~ now looking forward TO the end
- of the trouble in Mexico with the
expectation of seeing a new and inter-
esting set of postage stamps. A few
months ago. when it was thought the
rebels would be speedily squelched, the
stamp collectors saw no chance Of a
war issue Of postal carriers. 1t is be-
lieved, now. however, that whatever
the outcome new stamps are almost a
certainty.
If new set of stamps does come out
of the Mexican Capital it viii form an
interesting addition to the many little
gummed back stickers that have been
issued by the various countries as the
direct or indirect result Of wars and
revolutions.
The number Of such stamps is now so
large that they form a highly instruc-
tive study Of big and little political up
heayals during the last half century.
Some OF tie socalled, faddists- who de-
rive pleasure and instruction from the
study of stamps give all their attention

Help Given to Cuba.
When Uncle Sam in the war with
Spain secured a foothOld in the prov
ince Of Puerto Principe the United
States seized many Cuban stamps and
printed across their face words and fig
ures to indicate American supremacy
and control Of the postal affairs.
The United States then sent a num-
Der of its own stamps to Cuba print
ed across the face with the word
"Cuba," and these continued in use
until the Cubans issued stamps Of
their own.
The United States used similar
stamps in the Philippines and Porto
Rico.
Cuba had war stamps before the
United States was called upon to land
troops there. In 1868 queen Isabella

TAFT THROWS BOMB

Friends in Metropolitan
and Starts Sensa-

Washington, d. c., May 1S.-The
designations of two members of the
board of governors and the secretary
of the Metropolitan club here, follow
ing a speech by president Taft in
Which he denounced small headed
men, who, in clubs. attempt to mani
fest their greatness by blackbaIling
leading men proposed for membership
have stirred official and social Wash
ington to the core.
President Taft, who is a member of
the exclusive Metropolitan, was re-
ported, several weeks ago, to have felt
some resentment over the exclusion
from the organization of several
elected congressman and senator's, pro-
posed for membership by some of the
most influential men in the club
Among the men excluded was one of
whom the president was said to be
particularly fond.
The fury caused by the clubs &C.
ton at that time had practically died
down when president Taft, in an ad-
dress at the Jewish temple. revived
the subject by saying that he had had
friends-Gentiles-k out of clubs
"by people who were not worthy to
button up their shoes"
This was followed by the announce
ment that brigadier general Clarence
f. Edwards, Of the bureau of insuIar
affairs an intimate friend of president
Taft; colonel Chas. L. McCawley. of
the marine corps, formerly a white
house aide and Capt T NJ Potts. of
the navy, had resigned their official
positions at the Metropolitan club.
General Edwards and captain Potts
were members Of the board of govern
ors and colonel McCawley was secre-
tary of the club.
1t is said that the designations of
Messrs- Edwards, McCawley and Potts
undoubtedly means that in the future
no officer in the active service of the
army navy or marine corps will hold
office in the Metropolitan club
