DOES FORESTRY
PROVE prof.
TABLE?

The old idea that we must plant
trees for our grandchildren to har.
vest was prevalent mapv years. Any.
one planting or caring for young for
est trees to any large extent was sup.
posed to do SO from purely altruist. :
motives. l knew that that view IT
the subject would not appeal t.
many and that could not expect nue.
progress in tree planting II we fol
lowed 1t alone.
Eight years ago We planted eight
hundred catalpa trees on one acre
We now know that larger profits
could have been obtained by planting
twice that number. These trees
were one-year-old seedlings. The
carefully as for corn crop, and the
s. ounc was plowed ard prepared as
young trees carefully cultivated for
two years, since which time no time
has been spent on them, except a
few hours each March in cutting c.
the lower limbs. The trees are now
eight inches in diameter and about
twenty-four feet in height. There ar
nov oil the acre approximately eight
hundred fence posts worth on the
ground, at least fifteen cents, eacf
or fifteen dollars year, for the use
of the land. This is not bad rental
considering the small amount :
Dor expended. But We know now the
1t would be a very wasteful process
to cut these young trees, because
there Is almost a second post to each
tree above the one we could use, and
in six year more three posts per tree
can be cut without any doubt.
We have this plan outlined for the
future of the grove: In the next
two years we will cut about three
hundred of the poorer trees and use
them. This will leave the five hun
bred best trees to grow to larger size.
BY the time they are fourteen or fiji.
teen years old they will make three
posts to the tree, when there will be
fifteen hundred posts on the acre.
Then We will cut two hundred thr
making six hundred posts, leaving
three hundred trees to grow to tele-
phone pole size, when they will be
worth one dollar and fifty cents each
II there is no advance in price.
There would then be total Of four
hundred and fifty dollars worth
from the acre. Besides the Trimmings
for posts for farm purposes came in
conveniently.
Eight years ago l made this same
estimate at a forestry meeting, and
many thought l was too optimistic,
but now we have the trees to show
for the first part of the estimate, and
If they come up to our expectations
as we'll for the next ten years, We
will be satisfied.
We have planted each year since
and now have good trees of different
species growing on five acres OF
land on a farm which otherwise
would be without any timber supply.
This has been done at a total ex-
pense of about one hundred dollars,
and we feel that 1t has already add
ed many times this amount to the
selling value Of the farm. We are
sure that anyone having a treeless
farm can we'll afford to devote q few
acres to these quick-growing timbers.

GIVES HINTS TO APPLE MEN.
Lots Of the Fruit This Year and Grow.
erS Must Find u Market.

Ashleigh p. Boles. secretary of the
State Board of Horticulture. is send
ing out letter to apple growers of
the state giving advice on the market
ing of their fruit. He mentions the
fact that there are lots of apples this
year and the growers must hustle out
and find market He says:
Several buyers and dealers have
written to us complaining that the
growers will not answer their letters.
Also number Of growers have writ
ten that the buyers have made them
no definite offer for their fruit.
1T is not always possible for buy
ers to come and See your apples, but
this does not mean that they do not
want your fruit. Neither can they
make you a definite offer without
seeing your fruit because no two men
have apples of the same quality or
sort and pack in the same way
Selling apples is strictly business
proposition and the grower must let
the buyer know that he has some
thing to sell at reasonable price
If you do not know what your fruit
is worth, how can you tell whether
the buyer is taking advantage of you
or not?
You can find out what your apples
are worth by reading the market re-
ports in your daily newspapers and by
talking to other growers. For in
stance if Jonathan apples are quoted
on the Kansas City market at $3.50
barrel for number one grade YOU
can figure that only sound clean ap-
pies, 1-2 inches i'm diameter or more,
put up i'm clean white barrels and
firmly packed are bringing that price.
Your fruit must measure up to these
specifications if you expect it to
bring that price. If it is better it
will bring a better price.
This market quotation is the figure
at which apples are sold to retailers
and grocers. You must figure the
cost of picking. packing. hauling,
freight, and commission. which you
must deduct from the quotation price
to find out what your apples are worth
in the orchard.
ION the average barrels cost from
80 to 40 cents each; it costs from 81
to 80 cents a barrel to pick. pack and
haul to the railroad station: and the
local freight agent will figure the

Thinks If will Re Taft

within the past 10 days I have met many men and have never known polit- ical sentiment to be so much divided, 1" said Charles F. Cantrell of Chicago. Last week I was In New York, Pittsburg and Baltimore, and l was rather surprised to find that as many men predicted Taft election as predicted Woodrow Wilson s. had thought that Wilson had walk over, I had intended to vote for him, but. like many others, l am rather in- clined now to vote the republican ticket. We are having such great business pros perity that I do not wish to see anything happen that might possibly retard it.
 'I am told that there has been decided change in New York within the past few days. Men who had been intending to vote for Roosevelt will vote for Taft, and not few that were lined up with the democrats will either vote for Taft or go fishing. I would be willing to bet that Taft carries New York. I am certain that he will carry Pennsylvania and Ohio, and from the way things look right now, he will carry Illinois. But whoever carries New York is elected"

THEY DREAD FALLING

Sarah -Constock in Golfers Weekly
 Day after day the circus woman dons her tinsel, slips on the heavy Wooien ''slop shoesp over her satin pumps, ana so, with perhaps "By-by, girls" and nod to the wardrobe mistress, she snu1- fles out from the dressing tent to the ring, blows a kiss to the audience at large and takes her lifea in her hands. She does not think oS this fact consciously as rule; but subconsciously the knowledge is with each one that some day, perhaps. she will be like the little girl who once was hustled out of circus ring so fast that the audience hardly noticed-and then a gaudy kimono was thrown over her face-and instead of her slop snoes returning when the whistle blew men feet tramped, and the circus doctor found no work for him when he got there, Get to know these women and you find that under all their easy lightheardedness, their Gypsy spirit, is sort of smoldering dread like that of the people who i've in earthquake countries.
 You see it. for one thing, in the keen way they take up the subject of accl- dents.
 "The worst I ever fell was once the net broke" said a trapeze performer.
 ''I'd just as soon have it break as to fall had in it." put another. "Remem- Der that time I bit my lip? Felt like my chin was knocked right up through the top of my head. My lower teeth cut my upper lip till 1t had to be sewed up clear across"
 I learned then that the art of falling in the net is as difficult as any part of the performance; for so great is it's eias- ticity that f performer falls bad, say in standing position, the knees may be shot straight up to the chin and a knockout blow may result. To learn to come into the net prostrate, as in ham mock, is no small trick.

Mrs. cIe,cland,r Marriage

"1he announcement of Mrs. Cleveland s engagement to Prof. Thomas Joseph Pres ton recalls the brilliant wedding in tho White House in 1SS6,' said an old citizen who formerly resided in Washington. .President Cleveland was AS years of age and while his intimate friends in his former home. Buffalo, may have known of his matrimonial plans. the public had an idea that the chief executive was a confirmed bachelor Mrs. Cleveland was then a young woman who had just com pleted her education in Europe. She was 20 or 21 years of age and had been a ward of MT. Cleveland since early child hood.
 AS I recall the circumstances. the fact that the President and Miss Folsom were to be married was announced only few days before the wedding The late Dan Lamont was the Presidents private sec retary. He went to New York to meet the bride-elect and escort her to Wash ington. Only the cabinet officers and their families and few intimate friends of the President and the bride were in- vited. But it is safe to say that no more brilliant social event ever took place in the White House The Marine band fur nished the music and there was great wedding feast.
 Mrs. Cleveland was an exceptionally beautiful woman and her gracious per sonality made her the most popular woman in Washington

Roosevelt Receives an Ovation

Theodore Roosevelt made a notable speech at Madison Square garden last night It was the first time since he was shot by demented man in Mill waukee Is days ago that he was able to appear in public and, as might have been expected, he received a great ova- tion.
 Colonel Roosevelt has been a strenu- ous man ever since he entered politics many years ago, and his dash and pluck have won him the admiration of thousands who do not agree with his political aims or his political meth ods. Few Americans have ever dis played such fine qualities of leader ship as Roosevelt and if he fails to reach the goal next week he will still be a powerful figure in this country's public life.
 The world always admires man of tOuIdSt, anu udllllt, dlu lllOu- sands who have taken little interest in politics heretofore will cast their ballots for Colonel Roosevelt
 The Madison Square Garden speech was singularly strong in it's appeal It was terse; it was eloquent; it was ringing. Few more telling political addresses have been made in recent years and as the result of that speech the national progressive ticket will be more formidable than the democrats will care to admit. Nearly every sen tence in the speech was a short sen tence. The address indeed was very model of contentious English and it is worthy of being preserved as an American classic.

MEMORY OF BYRON
From the Argonaur.

From the ArgonauL
 Frances, Lady Shelley, whose diary is just being issued, knew most of the cele- brated people between the dates of 11S1 and 1S1J. She gives this description of her first view of Lord Byron in 1913:
 Prom Althorp we went to Colonel Leighs, near Newmarket, for the shoot ing We stayed there few days. The house is far too small even for the com pany it contained. Lord Byron was there Mrs. Leigh told me that he spent most of the night writing poem which is to be called The Corsair As he did not leave his room until after midday. our inter course was restricted. He is decidedly handsome, and can be very agreeable He seems to be easily put out by trifles, and at times looks terribly savage. He was very patient with Mrs. Leighs chill dren, who are not in the least in awe of him. He bore their distracting in- trusions into his room with imperturbahle good humor. Mrs. Leigh has evidently great moral influence over her brother, who listens to her occasional admonltions with sort of playful acquiescence But doubt the permanence of their effect upon his wayward nature"

From the New York American
 Girl wage earners with painted faces are tabooed by factory and shop employ CTS This fact was strongly emphasized by Mrs. p. J. O'Connell, in her address at the opening session of the Vocational Technical School for Girls.
 AS superintendent of the Alliance Elm ployment bureau, Mrs. O'Connell obtains occupations for several hundred girls a year who come to her from the various high schools, settlements and religious organizations of the city.
 She excited an experience with a girl who had II jobs in five years. and said the girls persistency in the habit of dress, which was described as follows. was largely to blame for her "fioating' from job to job: "A tawdry red satin hat, earrings that you buy at the 10 cent store, very low cut lace shirt waist and lavish application of paint and powder.
 When the girl came to me the first thing I did was to make her wash off the paintsr said Mrs. O'Connell: "but on the way to the factoRy where I sent her for job she must have touched herself up, for the superintendent telephoned me that he had interviewed the girl and that he would not employ painted girl. Very few employers will" added Mrs. O'Con- nell

Death of the Vice President

The death of James Schoolcraft Sherman, Vice President of the United States, will be sincerely lamented. He had just entered his 58th year, and during many years of his life had taken an active part In public affairs. He had always been a consistent re- publican and was several times elected to Congress.
 As Vice President, MT. Sherman pre- sided over the Senate with dignity and ability. He was polished and gen tie in manner and not many staunch party men ever had fewer personal enemies. His political opponents re. spected him and among the republi- cans of New York he was always pop ular.
 Mr Sherman was renominated for Vice President on the ticket with Pres ident Taft without opposition. and there is something distinctly pathetic in his untimely end, just five days be- fore the election. It will cast a gloom over the nation

From the Chicago Tribune.
 Berlin.-Dr. Strauch, a mental special ist, has discovered new disease which he calls telephone nervousness.
 A prominent Berlin attorney had been in continuous conflict with the postoffice for more than year regarding his tele- phone Several times he was arrested on the charge of insulting the telephone girl, and finally his telephone connection was cut off.
 The attorney immediately began pro- ceedings for it's restoration.
 Dr. Strauch was called as an expert and testified that telephone nervousness is a serious ailment. The telephone, he said, acts on certain persons like poison.

,nt.re.,iuu View of Wilson

Ben Carter of Washington, D. C., who has come to Birmingham to vote next Tuesday. in talking politics yesterday said:
 Men who have been coming to Wash ington lately have had a great deal to say of the effect produced by Woodrow Wilson's campaign speeches.; this more than anything else apparently is breeding conviction of the success of the demo- cratic ticket. As a mere matter of practi- cal politics the democrats are fortunate to have a candidate of such fertility of reasoning and such broad intellectual sympathies At time of new govern mental expedients it is of the most ob- vious importance to have at the head of affairs a man who. as we may say, is mentally sensitive to every factor in our social problems but who thinks thinsss out to their Fundamentals. In this view Governor Wilson appeals quite as much to conservative as to those who put their faith in new methods of making, interpre- tatlng and administering the law.
 "In those states from which l hear most-the east and middle west-Wilson is undoubtedly going to poll an enormous vote. It is pleasant, too, to think of the runaway race oscar Underwood will make as a presidential nominee some day"
