The Art of Transplnnting

In setting out fruit trees and trans
planting plants IN the garden one
ounce Of intelligent observation Will
prove more valuable than ton of
theoretical literature.
The nurseryman and gardener win
transplant thousands Of plants and
cuttings without the loss Of single
specimen while the average farmer

purchasing the best fruit trees that
have excellent root systems ne does

NUTS TO CRACK

ONritten Specially for The Bulletin)
Ralph Garter was, at the time of
which we write, prosperous mer-
chant in western city. He had not
always been such. Like the flourish
ing city in which he dWelt, he had
grown from little to much by his own
energy. When mere lad he was
compelled by poverty to stop school
and go to work, and soon showed his
employers that he meant TO do MS
best, although he was only a cash boy
in their department store.
He found himself needing more arith-
nietic and better penmanship. Here is
a nut for me to crack he said, and
searched out an evening school. at
which he could obtain the help he de-
sired. His energy was recognized and
rewarded. and before long he was es
ia biished behind Il counter as sales

We're strange to him, but he determined
to become better informed concerning
them. Another nut for me to crack,
he thought and applied himself to the
task till he had acquired the informa-
ton he needed to dispose OF the goods
committed to his charge.
His fellow clerks derided him, say
ing that they would not take so much
pains, for he would never get any
thanks for it. His willingness to work
in anything assigned to him also called
forth some comment from the others
employed near him.

An advance came soon to tF~ hard

must prepare. Only another nut to

position with a determination to sue
coed there.
Time after time did this occur. as
the firm noticed his devotion to their
interests while those whom he left be-
l ind him in the race talked of his good
luck and added in an undertone that
he was the firms pet, while those au-
tl;orities were down on them.
Outside of the store he showed the
SINE energy and willingness to work
for every measure tending to improve
or advance the welfare of the com

General Hitchcock has faith in a par

the purpose of testing its merits and

The pretence of the opposition that

and that it will adversely affect bust

way, 20 illustrate what it actually will

THE CELEBRATED MORMON

The famous Tabernacle choir of Salt

thirty voices and since grown to five
hundred voices. is sending the pick OF
its singers to give concerts at the

lion to be held III Madison Square gar

hundred selected members of this great
body Of singers viii traverse almost
identicslly the same old Mormon lpio-
ueer route taken by their fathers and
mothers in hand carts and ON teams
sixty -four years ago. That the choir
is not going for the purpose of prose
lytins or boosting the Mormon church
but as a means of advertising Utah
and Salt Lake, is demonstrated by it's
list of sponsors and advisory commit -
tee. Those who are behind the choir
include every creed and political affili-
alton in Utah. and are representative
business men. bankers, mining men,
and merchants Of that state. 1t bears
The unqualified endorsement of the

THE PRESIDENTS ENTERTAIN
MENT AT PITTSBURGH.

When President Taft visits Pitts
burgl, Pa, October 81. he will find the
greatest gathering of miners ever as
seubled in this country. Thirty thou
Fsand or more are expected to attend
the national mine safety demonstra-
ton under the auspices of the United
States bureau of mines, the American
Red Cross, and the Pittsburgh Coal
Operators association. Francis Fee
han, president of the United Mine
Workers for the Pittsburgh district,
recently requested the Pittsburgh OPP
orators to declare October 81 a holiday
in the mines of this district, SO that
all of the miners might attend anG
witness the demonstrations.
1t is believed that this movement
will spread all over the state and into
West Virginia, Virginia, Ohio, Illinois
and Indiana. Other states farther
away will send big delegations of mi
ners, many of them accompanying
their first aid to the injured teams,
which are to compete for honors be-
fore the president of the United States
and other distinguished guests.
The mine safety demonstration will
begin October 80. but the big event
for the miners will be October 81.
Throughout the country the miners
are now holding preliminary meets to
determine which teams viii represent
them in this humanitarian tournament
and much rivalry is being manifested.
The first aid teams at the mines are
really hospital corps and are often as
skilled as surgeons in giving emer-
gency treatment and in the proper BAN
daging of wounds and splinting of
fra ctures. Much skill and clear head
edness are required in administering
first aid to miner injured mile or
more underground and in bringing him
to the SUFFICE All these teams have
been prGcticing for weeks in theshopes
that they may bring the honors to
their mines.
