ECONOMIC VALUE OF TREES
Roads Always In Better Condition
Whore They Have Been Planted
and Properly Cared For.

We haye spoken often for good pub
lie roads as the best investment. ev-
erything considered. that the country
can make, but we are indebted to the
Maryland State Grange for the sound
suggestion that there are no really
good country roads without shade
trees along them. The practical. eco
nomlc value of trees along the roadside
ia beyond dispute. They actually pro-
tect the road and lessen the cost OF
upkeep. How much they add to the
money value of abutting farms. It
would be difficult to estimate; but II,
of two farms otherwise exactly equal
in value and offered at the same price,
one is frnged by shade trees and the
other Is bare, there Is little doubt
which nine buyers out OF ten would
prefer. In no other way can the at
fractions of bit Of country road be so
much enhanced. Who that drives IN
the country doesn't feel grateful to the
farmer whose trees beautify the
scene?
Planting shade trees where none ex'
ist is not really expensive, and in the
long run It pays quite as we'll. at least.
as planting wheat. There are, OF
course, certain practical problems,
such as avoiding too dense a shade
upon grain land and selecting the right
stock: but a treeless road anywhere
outside the desert is a reproach to
those who live upon it-Saturday Eve

with lovely women excuse themselves

hat hunt.
1t Is In vain that the hat tries all
the tricks, turns and cunning-it has
no chance against the numbers. The
man who overtakes 1t and returns

gave 1t as his opinion that the miss

off for revenge or to be held for

spent most of the night telephoning

very officious in the search, and Just
