the Indians liquor they could more

MOVE BIG TREES IN WINTER
They May Be TranspIanted When the
Ground Is Not Too Much
Frozen-Good Method.

Large trees and shrubs may be
moved from one part Of the place to
another when the ground is not too
much frozen. The trees to be moved
should have a trench dug about three
feet out from the trunk all around.
cutting the roots at the sides and also
underneath the ball of earth. II soil
is dry. pour on enough water to make
earth stick to the roots.
Have holes dug, and as soon as the
ground around the roots is frozen, pull
the tree over with a pair Of horses,
slide the dray under the ball of earth.
tie the tree to the dray; then haul to
place. Puddle the earth in bottom of
hole, set the tree in; see that it is
the right depth and top plumb; press
the fine black earth round the sides.

stout stakes. spread six or eight large
forkfuls of coarse manure around the
tree; then put on top of manure and
close up to the trunk several large
stones. The manure will keep the

VIII prevent the rocts from Delng Sna-
ken loose by severe winds.
Evergreens 15 to 20 feet in height
may be moved by this method. and If
well done not one tree need be lost.
Deciduous trees. owing to their
roots spreading out SO far and going
so deep. are much more difficult to
move. Trees to feet in height may
be moved, but large trees can seldom
be moved with success.
Flowering shrubs and large rose
bushes may be moved in the same
way. Always plant in good earth and
upon well-drained land. II soil is san
dy or rocky. make large holes: fill in
with good earth before planting.
The owner should attend to the
transplanting. as the work cannot be
left to hired help.

this system of flag unveiling is not an

AN ARKANSAS ELDER ENDOR-
SEES THE JEFFS

Dear Sir and Brother:-I cannot
refrain from writing you ''My En-
dorsement" of your "Holx work"
against sin in the high places. 1t
is so easy to denounce the sins of
the drunkard, gambler, profane
sWearer and other forms of vice in
the people who are seldom seen at
church to take their medicine But
when it comes to pouring hot shot
into sin in high places, very few of
our high collared and high salaried
preachers have the moral coinage to
tackle it. That class of preachers
regard John the Baptist, Jeremiah
Nathan and a host of others men
toned IN the Bible, who fiercely de-
nounced the sins of kings and rulers
as "Old fogies" Kickers ana Splitters
who could have enjoyed popularity
and had a good time if they had
only refrained from such denuncia-
tons. To say that | endorse your
exposing Of the corrupt missionary
methods and political corruption is
to put it mildly, while 1 can't but
express surprise at the bold but
righteous attacts you are making in
your magazine on the Roman Cath
Ollie Hierarchy" l only hope the
good Lord will spare and protect you,
that you may carry out the policy
outlined in the December magazine
in regard to the history of the
church, in the dark and middle ages
Of the world. Your work of educa-
ton in politics and religion will
doubtless result in such a benedic-
ton to the coming generation that
the name Thos. E. Watson will live
long after you have quit the walks
of men, but best of all.
Servant of God we'll done
Rest from thy loved employ
The battle fought the victory won
Enter thy Masters JOY
