Revise States Plan Of Keeping Books.
A summary of the special report Of
the state tax commission on the
finances of the state. compiled for the
legislature, was submitted to that
body. The gathering and compiling
OF the data was done under the direc-
ton of A. f. James. statisticIan of
the commission.
On the average for the seven-year
period (I90S.I9O9l the revenue re-
ceipts totaled s6.214.606.67 out Of a
total for all receipts Of s7,3S2. 999 %.
or S4.1S per cent In 1909 the total
revenue receipts were 81. 500, S57. 81
out OF s9.Sl1,519.19. or S6.64 per cent.
During the period Of years covered in
the investigation, receipts as n whole
increased from S6.SI4.7 92 80 In 1903 to
$9,sl1,5I919 in 1909. Revenue re-
ceipts Increased during the same
period from S5.441,6S to $780,
95797.
The state accounts are lot kept in
a single fund, says the report. but diff
ferentiation is sought in the class!a-
cation OF payments by subdividing the
accounts into a number of funds. So
far as these funds amount to the
segregation of the states obligations
as trustee from its general disburse-
ments. the practice is not only proper
but is very necessary. So far as II
amounts, however. TO the setting up
of separate appropriation accounts as
funds il has the effect of splitting up
the states money and making much
of it unavailable for the claims for
money coming in. even though appar-
emily there is plenty of money in the
treasury.

The Trees to an Acre.

The number of trees required to
plant an acre depends upon the sys-
TEN used. Three systems are gem
orally used here in Colorado-the
rectangular or square method by
which the trees are set in a square,
enabling easy cultivation; the quin-
cunx which is much the same as the
square, only that the number of rows
is dopbled, tree beng planted in
the middle of each square This
method is being used more generally
with the idea of cutting out the fil-
lers. which are of dwarf or upright
growing varieties. which will have
produced n good many crops before
the apples require the space.
The third system is called the hex
agonal method. by which the trees
are all an equal distance from the
other. 1t is set out on the basis of
circle. the distance between the
trees being equal to the radius of
the circle. thus we have six trees in
n hexagon with one in the center.
The following table shows the num-
ber of trees required by each sys-
tenn.

der why their trees don't grow and
of course nine times out of ten the
nursery gets the blame for sending
out bad trees. First be sure that
the ground is well plowed and in
good condition, and the water there
| to irrigate The roots should by all
means be kept moist from the time
they are taken up until planted
in the orchard rows. If trees are
packed in bale or box, immedi; ely
on unpacking they should be heeled
in. This is done by opening trench
sixteen or eighteen inches deep and
pttUing the trees in close together.
If tied in lunches, the lower bands
shuold be cut and the roots spread
out SO that dirt can get in around al
the roots and so keep them from
moulding
They may be put in at quite an
angle. Cover with dirt three inches
above all roots and then turn, in the
water and if the dirt settles down
in places, see that they are all fl
led up, covering all the roots and
saving none exposed to the weather.
From the trench take the trees to
che rows, being careful to keep the
roots protected from the drying
winds or hot sun by covering with a
damp sheet or burlap. A very good
and safe plan used by some is to
have on sled or in a wagon a bar
rel partly filled with water, in which
the trees are kept while planting.
| This insures keeping them moist.
Be sure to keep the trees in line
/ and put moist earth next to the
roots. Have the water follow closely
on each row to settle the earth
around each tree after planting.
Trees should be planted about two
inches deeper than they stood in
the nursery and if any roots are at
al mutilatt d they should be cut of
at the wound. making the cut from
the under side with a sharp knife
and the roots should not ba cramped
up in a small hole or punched to-
gether. but spread out in a natural
position with dirt between, just as
they grew in the nursery. This i;
done by setting the tree rather
than required. and while filling, ra.s
the tree and gently shake it, and
when in the desired position gently
firm the earth on the roots with tht
foot, being careful to lean the tre'
considerably in the direction from
whence come the prevailing higl
winds. Too much care cannot b,
taken in planting. Never let greer
manure come in contact with tn,
roots.
If used. place it it as a mulch OF
top of the ground. Immediately afte
planting, the trees should be pruned
If two-year or branch stock should
be used. 1t should be cut back from
one-third to one-half of the last
years growth. If one-year. which i
most desirable of medium, straigh
trees, cut them off at about eightee
inches nigh, as this will make 10y
headed tree. which is desirable 70
many reasons. The trees will all b
of an even size and branched wher
you wand them, with an open hea'
to let in the sunlight and air to Civ
the fruit that high color which i
! so much desired After planting. tn
ground should be kept in good cult
vation. irrigating once every weel
or two. according to the weather AM

Friends Took Him Unawares.

Last Sunday noon when Henry Savage
returned TO his home from church SER
vices, he was agreeably surprised to
find that his home had been invaded by
fifteen of his relatives and friends. They
had conceived the idea of surprising him
on his 42nd, birthday anniversary and
their plans were executed without a
hitch in the proceedings. For once
Henry was bafiied for just a moment,
but he soon regained his usual self com
posture and set out to make his guests
feel at home.
Mrs. Savage had been let in on the
deal and Sunday morning made an ex-
cuse to remain at home instead of going
to church for she had "Ohl such fright
full headache 't?) As a result the good
housewife had good noon spread pre-
pared TO which the company did full
Justice. The afternoon was spent in
innocent games and social chat. A gen
eral good time was enjoyed by all. Mr..
Savage was the recipient of many USE
full remembrances, among them being a
box of clear Havana's which we know
are good for we received sample.
After luncheon being served at even
ing the guests departed wishing Mr..
and Mrs Savage many years of happi-
ness. If the paper is better than usual
this week our readers will know that
Henry is feeling fine, and doing his ut
most to make the Republican strong

The Youths Companion Is For
Everybody.

OF course If you are to young TO read
or so old you have forgotten how, you
may not enjoy The Youths Companion.
That is rather a sweeping statement,
however. for hosts of children love to
have the stories and jingles of the
Children's Page read to them. There
is many O grandfather and grandmother
whose eyes are dim who like nothing
better than to sit and listen to The
Companion stories and articles. Many
blind person, and even those who in
addition can neither speak nor hear
have been cheered by The Companion,
its contents having been communicated
to them through the finger tips of friends
The reading of The Youths Companion
is pretty sure cure for all kinds of
loneliness. Robinson Crusoe would
have been happier man if he could
have had his Companion Thursday as
well as his man Friday. just send for
the Prospectus for 1912 and sample
copies of the paper.
We think you will agree, when you
have read them, that no other paper
gives quite so much of such high
quality as The Companion, and it costs
only $1.15 now for the so weekly issues
On January 1, 1912, the subscription
price will be advanced to $500.

Club To Provide Free Entertainments

The Columbian Club has procured
Mrs. b. b. Clark, of Red Oak, who will
give stereoptican lecture on Palestine
for the November public meeting of the
Club. Arrangements have been made
with Mr.. Hoover whereby the Gem
theatre building will be used for the
lecture. IL is the intention of the Col
umbian Club to have a public speaker
once each month, during the Club year,
at which time no admission will be
charged While Mr.. Berry, the Octo-
Der speaker made no charge for his
address, the Club had travelling ex-
penses, rent for church and other Incl
dental expenses. and will have for all
these entertainments, they by no means
procure them without expense and
some effort.
Some of the numbers will entail heavy
expense but the women bear this among
themselves in order to place clean en-
tertainment before the youth of our
town. Each number will be educative,
instructive and refined. We commend
this enterprising innovation they have
launched and bespeak for them the
hearty cooperation of all. Further
will be made as to the
date and nature of Mrs. Clark address.

. Audubon Mystery Solved.

People in Audubon who have been
thinking that one-l legged woman lived
in a certain house have solved the
mystery. For some weeks people pass
ing the house have noticed that every
time there is washing on the clothes
line only one woman's stocking is on
the line. Knowing the people real well
they wondered where the one-legged
woman stayed. Some even thought
there might possibly be a family skele-
ton in the dark. Who was the myster
ious one-legged womang This is the
solution that came to light Monday.
The woman who runs that house is an
economical woman. For some years
she has always had two pairs of stock
ings. Some months ago she lost one
stocking. but instead of buying new
pair she has taken to rotating the three
stockings she haasgts. That Is why
there is only one stocking on the line.
