TREES FOR COMFORT AND PROFIT

How many people On the Rchneld tract are planning to put out
fruit OF shade trees this spring?
The Recorder has in mind a farm Q the Malad river. where the
owner had lived for thirteen years when the writer visited the place
In that thirteen years, he had raised a large family; but though he l-
ed within a stones throw Of the river, had a disable waterr right and
there was every reason for him o do SO, he never planted a tree or
shrub, for beauty, utility or business reasons. Did you ever see such
unbelievable waste CT opportunity to make money and comfort for ones
self and family?
But-the years are slipping along, and there are not SO many trees
here 0 the Rchneld tract that the Malad farmer is the only negligent
one. Do you know that trees do admirably well here? That fruit
promises to be the greatest paying crop-three times over the biggest
paying crop-that can be raised here? That a few shade trees are worth
almost as much to beautify and make a place valuable Is even yalua-
Bile rt tree? That trees change the climatic conditions Of a contry,
always for the better?
And did 20 know that trees ire cheap, and easy to plant and cli-
vate, and that the time is flying SC fast that the first few uees planted
here are almost to the bearing stage while SC many farmers haven't yet
even looked at a tree cataogue-and that they are acting dried ap-
pies. OIL going without fruit altogeth er, where they might have apples
by next year, o small fruits a year O two ago.

Platinum is found associated with

pass some revenue legislation at the special session now being held in
Boise, that will be really what thepeople want

of politicians, of subsidized newspapers, of taxdodgers; but the seri

that law has been OVERLAND and in effect repealed many times over by

Then n Now.

Prior to the last Is years. by the
time people had attained their first
quarter of a century. they considered
themselves pretty much formed as to
physical and mental characteristics
If they were ambitious and energetic
they perhaps carried on some kind
of exercise for their physical well-be-
ing. and guarded against mental de-
%terioration as they advanced in years
by occasionally taking up new studies
or reviewing old ones; as a dear old
lady of my acquaintance at the age OF
eighty-nine began to review her al
zebra to keep her mind active.
Now everything is changed. We
cannot settle down comfortably in the
thought of anything in the regular
routine OF life which we nay not be
called upon to alter at a moments
notice. Most of us have found that
few of our established habits are
right and that unless we are willing
to be left hopelessly behind our asso-
c1ates we must learn over again ali
that we acquired in infancy. and that
has since become a matter Of auto
matte action.-The Atlantic.
