This tree grows native over practicai-
IL al Iof the eastern half Of the United
States. It is generally considered
Iowland tree. although in many sec
tions it is found growing on the up
lands. The largest and most vigorous
trees will. however, be found on the
lowlands. and usually in the close prox-
unity of some stream. Many towns
and cities have adopted the elm as
their fayorite tree, planting It TO the
exclusion Of nearly all others. Their
reasons are probably wholly due TO
their liking of its appearance. The
rambling irregular growth Of the elm,
spreading its limbs thirty or forty feet
on either side, in mature trees, makes
it not only an impressive and agree
able sight, but also makes it particular
fly desirable for shade.
.In spite of the fact that the elm
desires water, it will Withstand droutb
as well as most of our shade trees. At
the present time, when the weather
bureau men tell us we have three years
or less rainfall than any other three
continuous years in the history of the
state, the elms in most neighborhoods
are uniniured. In some sections, and
particularly in those places where
heavy soils predominate, these trees
are showing some dead limbs and oc-
casionally one may be found wholly
dead. It may be said, however, that
this is a crucil test, for it is improb-
able that a combination of three ex-
tremely dry years in succession will
occur again for years to come.
"Elms are propagated from seed.
Elm seed ripen in the spring and
should be planted at once. Twoyear-
old trees grown in a rich soil should
be large enough to sell, although they
are frequently grown three or four
years before being put on the market
Such trees usually sell for about soc

compared with trees of the same size
taken from the woods.
"The value of the elm for ornamental
purposes gives about all the virtues
this tree has, for it is not favorite
with the lumber men. Elm timber is
comparatively valueless. The reason
for this is because of its limited use.
In the old days when wooden ships
were the only ships, and ship building
was a prominent industry along the
coast elm of the highest quality found
a good market at high prices for fran
ing timbers. The chief use for elm
today is in making a so-called slack
barrels, such as apple barrels, lime
barrels. etc. The supply is apparent
ly than the demand, for the price OF
elm timber runs lower than any other
lhard woods"

LARGE PRODUCTION OF LIME
Nearly Three And a Half Million Tons
According to United States
Geological Survey.

One of our practically inexhaustible
natural resources is lime. The avail
able limestone rock widely distributed
over the United States can not be es-
timated even in million or billions of
tons 1t is fact also that the more
lime is thrown away''-scattered
over the ground-the better it is for
the country Lime is a great soil rem
ovator and while it is believed to have
no actual fertilizing value in the sense
OF being in itself a plant food, it is
well-known fact, not only among far
mers but among soil scientists, that
spreading it upon the fields and plow-
ing it under makes many soils more
productive by rendering available the
plant food they already contain. Lime
has also a great variety of other high
ly important uses, in fact, few mineral
products have so wide a scope of use
fulness.
A little more than half the lime
manufactured in the United States is
used as structural material-in lime
mOrtars. Portland cement mortars, con
crete, gypsum plasters, and whitewash
Large quantities are also used in the
manufacture of chemicals, in clarity
ing many products, in the milling and
paper industries, in sanitation, in the
smelling and timing industries, in
sugar-beet manufacture, etc
The total production of lime in 1910
according TO figures compiled by Ern-
est F. Burchard and just given out by
the United States geological survey.
was 3469.416 short tons, valued at
$13,SO9,2 ,290. a slight decrease in both
tonnage and value ais compared with
the figures for 1909. The average price
per ton in 1910 was $39S.
The five leading states in the 1910
production are as follows:

CLAREMORE PREP" SCHOOL
WINS FROM VINITA HIGH
FROM SATURDAYS DAILY.

The Vinita high school football team
lost their first game of the season yes
terday to the state university prepara-
tory school at Claremore to the score
by 100. Neither the grounds nor the
day were at all suitable for a football
game. The ground had only recently
been cleared and there were yet on the
field stubs of persimmon sprouts a
half inch in diameter The weather
man did his best to stop the game, for
he permitted steady rainfall during
the entire game But as the Vinita
boys had gone to Claremore intent
upon playing, there was nothing else
to do but play
At the flip of q coin Claremore chose
her goal and Vinita kicked off. Clare
more carried the ball back to her own
forty yard line. The teams lined up
for scrimmage and on the first down,
by fake to the right Claremore car
ried the ball through Vinita's line and
down the field for seventy yards for a
touchdown. Claremore failed to kick
goal. During the rest of the first
quarter neither side made any fancy
gains, although Claremore was prob
ably playing the game a little better.
During the second quarter Claremore
got away with wide end run into
the crowd for about forty or fifty
yards and a touchdown. Claremore
again failed TO kick goal BY this
time Vinita was beginning to get into
the game, and at the end of the second
quarter they had the ball in Clare
more's twenty-yard line and still
going
During the third and fourth quarters
the game was rather slow as the
ground was getting pretty muddy.
Only once during these quarters was
Vinita's goal in danger and then she
held Claremore for downs. Consider
ing the conditions. each side did some
good playing during the last half Vim
ita playing a great deal betted than in
the first half
The game was free from wrangling
and was played in a gentlemanly way
throughout
Vinita is not at all disappointed in
her team even though they lost for

For years New York has exported
annually thousands OF its surplus hui
man crop, and reports show that most
of the orphans have done well and
have become credit to their foster
parents. The founding asylums al

lions for children, although it is de-
clared that any person who wants a
child is practically certain to love
and care for it.

though all the wester states share
in the distribution. Extremely pathet

VIII he Believe
IN The Bib {

Nashville, Oct. 1S.-"Why I Believe
in the Bible" was the subject chosen
by Dr. Allen G. Hall, dean of the Law
Department of Vanderbilt University
for an address last night at the First
Presbyterian church. Dr. Hall said:
The Bible is of lowly origin. The
writer's We're not learned literary men,
but uneducated working men. There
were no great potentate to herald its
coming; no one dared proclaim its
greatness when it came; yet today
men and nations are judged by its
standards. After centuries have pass
ed, this volume is found in the van of
every movement into savage and I'M
civilized countries. 1t is the rock upon
which civilization is founded. 1t has
between its covers that which is of in
terest to all classes of men. Some are
attracted by its history, some by its
poetry, some by its allegory and 9TH
ers by its parallels"
DR.. Hall dwelt at length upon the
adaptation of the scriptures to men
and nations. There are men," he
said, who disbelieve certain portions
of the Bible, and characterize events
given therein as impossible To man
there are things which are impossible
but to God nothing is so, as We have
evidence in the regeneration of men
about us every day. Man can not
change the stone into rose. no mat
ter how assiduously he attends it, yet
God daily changes the sin-encrusted
heart to well of love and kindness

occur today, and why could they no

so much interested in whether Moses

In conclusion DR.. Hall said that, mas
| much as we owe all we are and al
| that We have to the Bible, it should b,
| taught in the public schools.
