They may try and try, but the way
of each
Is as different as the varying bloom
OF every different peach.
Man or tree, it's a matter of soil,
OF sun and rain, stock, branch, and
flower
Whether the fruit shall fall to rot
Or ripen to helpful power.
Should unconcern graft the best OF
sprigs
On a limb that runs not pure OF
sap,
Blossoms will fail or droop and die,
Though cr1dled in June's own lap.
Even when buds have burgeoned
fair
Pledge of rich, uncankered crop
If slackly pruned, surrendered to scale,
Their yield will waste and drop.
False is the refuge of seeming health:
At the first keen glance or the first
sharp tooth,
Fruitage of tree and deed of man
Are marked as lie or truth,

New Method Of

A news item from Paris informs US
that the American method of producing
a slim, trim figure, is meeting with aston
lshing success. This system. which mas
made such a wonderful impression over
there, must be the Marmola Prescription
Tablet method OF reducing fat. 1t Is
safe to say that We have nothing better
for this purpose in this country. Any
thing that will reduce the excess flesh
a pound q day without injury to the
stomach, the causing OF wrinkles. the
help of exercising or dieting, or interfer-
ence with ones meals is q mighty impor-
tant and useful addition to Civilizations
necessities. Just such catalogue OF good
results, however follow the use OF these
pleasant. harmless and economical little
lat reducers. We say economical because
Marmola Prescription Tablets (made In
accordance with the famous prescript!on)
can be obtained OF any druggist or the
makers, the Marmola Co., Farmer Bldg

large case, which is a decidedly econom-
teal price considering the number OF tab

Later States Attorney Ladd of
Richford announced that the indict-

LOOKING FOR LAND
State Forester Wants a Tract In
This Country.

State Forester A. F. Halves is in
town and is looking for tract OF
land of from 100 to 500 acres that
can be bought by the state for fores-
try demonstration purposes.
The quality of the land is not OF
great importance, but the price
must be low and the tract must be
easily accessible SO that it may be
reached readily from the thickly
settled sections of the country.
The state now owns six tracks of
land in six different counties of the
state. Each tract is planted to for
est trees for the purpose of demon
strating the value of nontillable
land and how this value may be in
creased by reforestation. If tract
is purchased here it will be the
seventh.
Mr.. Halves will remain in town
over night and will be at the Put
nam house where he will be glad to
hear from anybody who has tract
OF land suitable in price and loca-
ton
