enormous outlay of money, but these
are being rescued and added to-, and

Philadelphia and Baltimore are

carrying artery in the world, although
1t is not as long and it did not cos as
much as the little known Canal du
Midi that connects the Atlantic with
the Mediterranean through France anG
which was constructed and financed
by one man. Around the coast OF
Texas a canal has been opened which
links the coast cities together, and ii
is expected that this will extend from
NEW Orleans, around the Texas coast
and far into Mexico.
Other canals in operation ant
others still in contemplation, which
shows that the people are returning tt

WHAT EVERY CITY NEEDS.

Norwich Bulletin: Every city needs
a distinctive spirit which makes the
people of the country sit up and take
notice. If the civic spirit has nothing
back OF it more substantial than pride
1t soon becomes rusty and useless; to
become permanent. it must be UNDER
laid with a love and activity of all the
people and a zeal which promotes the
comfort and welfare of the people I'M
the prosperity Of every industry and
business within it's borders.
This active spirit is an everything
force. We have all recognized it in
the spirit of Galveston" 1.-THE Plan
of Des Moines,'' and the Way of
Meriden' n other newspaper head
lines which put the commendable ac-
ton of the citizens of live places be-
fore the people of the country.
This is what gives a good foundation
for the work of a board of trade. a
merchants association or any enter
prising civic body that moves to make
cities bigger and better.
This is the way any city may achieve
its fullest destiny. They need take on
metropolitan airs, for the air of we'll
founded enterprise is enough.
The cities that are engaged in play-
ing airs designed for flutes on penny
whistles are always failures.

Spread out the roots of the tree in the
hole, and, if any Of the roots are rag
ged or bruised, cut off such bruised
roots clearly above the wound. Two
y~ear-olds we have found the best age
for transplanting. After piantine,
shovel fine, dry earth above the mud.
The mud around the roots is now too
soft for tramping the soil around the
tree, but in a few hours it is dry
enough for you to do so, and this must
be done. Mulch at once, and don't let
grass or weeds grow within several
feet of the young tree. Don't let the
mulch rest against the tree, as it will
cause the tree to send out roots into
the mulch. In this windy country,
don't prune the tree for a long trunk,
but let 1t branch no over eight inches
from the ground, as it is much sitter
ana Wlnd-resistant if grown that way.
The writer has been advised by eS-
perts that apple trees should have
very little pruning in this section.

BALBOA AND THE PACIFIC.
Not Often That a Man in Dodging
Creditors Wins Such Fame.

Boston Herald: A man who puts to
sea headed up in a cask to sea his
creditors seems an ~all-unlikely mark
for the lightning Of fame, yet Vasco
Nunez de Balboa survived that unpo-
etc experience long enough to write
his name indelibly upon the history of
the world. His achievement is just
400 years old this month, and the
mingled romance and tragedy of it
grew only more impressive with the
lapse Of time. Once af1oat with EnciS-
cos expedition, we see this waif Of
civilization reborn with almost magi-
cal powers. The qualities of a states
man and leader come out in his concil-
iation Of the Indians n his reorganiz-
alton of the colonies. Better governor
and administrator the new world never
had. But the exploring spirit of the
conquistador is strong in him and with
a few followers he pushes his way
through the dense forests to the
heights. Silent upon a peak in OAR
len" Balboa stands for a moment, as
the vast eXpanse of water meets his
gaze. Then, waving aloft the flags of
Aragon and CASTLE, he rushes into the
ocean and claims it for Spain.
Had Balboa been content with dis
covering the Pacific, he might have
lived out the term of his natural life.
The ambition to- explore what he had
revealed now seized him. Immense
difficulties had to be overcome. Roads
had to be cut n the whole parapher-
MALTA Of his enterprise conveyed across
the mountains. Yet in a few months
four vessels were built and 800 men
ready to navigate the south sea. On
the very eve before setting out ap-
peared the baleful star which an as
trologer had warned him would por-
tend his ruin. Treacherously seized on
a ~trumped-up charge, and bound by
his false friend Pizarro, Balboa was
tried, sentenced and beheaded. He
fell" said Sir Clement r. Markham,
through the mean jealousy of an in
capable ruf1an placed in power by
court Influences"
The conquest of Peru and the open
ing up Of the empire of the Incas thus
went into other hands. Other naVigat-
ors, beginning with Magellan, were
destined to complete Balboa's work.
The Spaniard's priority" is as diff
cult to prove as it is difficult to refute.
What must forever remain undisputed
is that recorded history laurels him
as the ~discoverer, and that on Sept.
rs, 1913, a great new section OF the
earth, with it's islands and continents,
swan into the ken of the Occident.
The problems of the Pacific today all
date back to Balboa. Weighty world
interests are to be balanced there. Let
us hope that when the settlement
comes it will reflect the peaceful moods
Of the great ocean itself. I'LL.
