CULTIVATION FOR BIG TREES.
Forest Service is raising several acres
of Bigtree seedlings on the Tahoe
National Forest in California, at a
more northerly point than any natur-
al Bigtree grove. While the giant
sequoias are found in the forests OF
the Sierras at various points through
out o total range OF some $50 miles,
in the northern two thirds of this
range there is practically no natural
reproduction. It has consequently
been q question whether the species
would not actually disapper from
this region when the present mature
trees die. The most northern exist
ing grove Of Bigtrees is on the Tahoe
Forest, but about 81 miles southeast
of the site selected for planting.
This site is on q moist fiat, not far
from Nevada City. and is about 2, 700
feet above sea level. The first seed
ing was done in the fall of 1910, with
very successful results, and last fall
an additional area was seeded. The
method used in planting the seed was
that known to foresters as the seed
spot method. Spots about 6 feet
apart each way were prepared by
pulverizing the earth with garden
hoe. Seeds were then dropped on
these spots and lightly pressed in the
soil with the foot. The flourishing
condition Of the young seedlings gives
good reason TO expect q future
growth OF Bigtrees at this point.
With protection Of forests from fire,
there seems to be no reason why the
Bigtrees should disappear, even
though scientists regard them as
survivals from past age. botanically
speaking.
MAIN STRENGTH AND AWKWARD

A HIGH TONED SNUB.-John D.
Rockefeller's daughter, Mrs. Harold
Mccormick, has been taken at her
word, and her effort to suppress the
use Of liquors in mixed clubs, includ-
ing the Saddle and Cycle Club. one
OF the most exclusive clubs in Chicago,
has led to placing ban on herself,
and at its formal opening last Satur-
day afternoon. Mrs. Mccormick was
missed from among the eight society
leaders chosen to welcome the guests.
Nothing daunted, Mrs. NJ. expresses
plainly her belief about the use Of
liquors in clubs of which both men
and woman are members. At the
same time she also made public this
opinion, though her Secretary:
81 do mot exclude the Saddle and Cy.
Gle Club, Of which am . member. II

drinking BY women. do not approve Of

What Does the Flag Express?

A discussion regarding the pro-
priety of half-masting flags on Decor
alton Day. was the matter of con-
siderable discussion this year, some
contending that it was properly a
day Of mourning for the veterans
who lost their lives on the battle
field, and others that it should be a
day of rejoicing over the elimination
of their efforts to preserve the I'm
ion as well as of congratulation to
veterans who still live. and that the
day should be one OF rejoicing and
joy, attested by the flag flying at
full-mast.
Some one fully posted, spoke up
with the explanation that the mill
tary posts are ordered to place the
flag at half-mast until noon on Dec
Grafton Day, as token of sympathy
for the dead while loving hands are
placing flowers over each grave with
similar intent, but this observance
closes at noon, and the remainder CT
the day should be one of rejoicing, as
noted. when Old Glory should be
raised on high. All military posts
are supplied with the staff on which
this can be easily done, while in civic
decorations flags are sometimes sus-
pended from windows or fronting
walls, in which it would be difficult
to determine which is up or down
and what might be considered half
mast, to comply with technical ideas
of military discipline.
There is no more necessity to dis
play sorrow by outward token, than
for the widow to sit up all night to
prepare her weeds to be worn at her
husbands funeral, and the best
course therefore to pursue, is to al
low such matters to be controlled by
reason instead Of arbitrary rule that
has no higher sanction than custom.

BRYAN PRAISES INCOMES.

In an editorial in the Commoner of this week, William J. Bryan says of the Arkansan who has been selected to lead the Democracy to victory this year:
 William F. McCombs is a strong man and he will make an excellent chairman of the Democratic national committee. The selection of Joseph E. Daavies of Wisconsin as secretary was also wise one These two gen tlemen will bring new life and cour- age into Democratic campaign work They may be depended upon not to make any alliances during the cam paign that would embarrass Cover nor Wilson after he has assumed the duties of his office.
 "The duties of the officers of the national committee are of the highest importance and genuine ability on the part of these officials is essential to the faithful discharge of those duties. The Democratic party IS entitled to congratulations upon the high char acter of it's new chairman and secre- tary."

MORE ABOUT RUSSELLTSM

In a recent issue of the Log Cabin Democrat it was pointed out that the International Bible Students Asso- citation, which is obtaining so much notoriety through the promulgation of the "no-hell" doctrine, is a subsi- diary organization of the Pastor Russell syndicate of Brooklyn A clipping repubished in the Baptist Advance of this week gives further light on the tenets of Pastor Russell and will doubtless be read with inter- est:

held convention at Fertile Springs, Mo. For eighty days they discussed topics of interest to them. Doctor Moore, pastor of the Christian church in Warrensburg, attended some of the meetings In the Christian Evangelist he sets forth some things which he heard. He thinks Pastor Russell S getting ready to proclaim himself as the Christ and that the proclamation will be made in 1914.
 For the benefit of our readers we present here Doctor Moore's sum ming up of some of the teachings of Pastor Russell sand his followers, Among Mir. Russell's tenets, l men ton these;
 q Christ before coming into the world was not divine.
 % When on earth he was still not divine; perfect man, but only a man.
 %. His atonement was that of a mere man.
 "4 Christ's body was not raised from the dead. The soul of Jesus died nd the soul of Jesus was raised.
 "5. Christ's second advent occurred in 1874.
 "6. The saints were raised up and the protesting Christian church was rejected in 1878.
 "7. Christ will take his throne on earth, and the Millennium begin in October, 1914.
 "8 The saints, the true Israel, the elect (Russell:tes) will sit on the throne with him.
 @. The Gentiles Gall but the Rus selhtes) will be destroyed, but will be raised up, and given a second chance, under more favorable conditions. Us ing this second chance, they will be saved, but can never occupy the ex- alted position of the true Israel 1 (Russellites). Those not using this second chance, but remaining impeni- tent, will be destroyed (annihilated) :.
 no It is folly to try to save the world in this age. That is not Gods plan, and it cannot be done. All evangelistic and missionary efforts are waste of sime and money.
 "11. All that can be accomplished during this age is to gather the elect from the various churches. These will be comparatively few, for did not Christ say, Fear not, little flock; for it is your Fathers good pleasure to give you the kingdom?'
 "So-called Bible classes are being organized in every community, where a few of the faithful can be gotten together But the Bible can only be understood by means of Mn Russell's book The Divine Plan of the Ages, and so colporteurs are going through the country selling this and other of Mr Russell's books, and giving away tracts.
 "0ne day the question was asked Mr. Russell: Do you think it best that you should be elected pastor of the various classes indefnitely?' His answer was; If you want to give
