Tree Earns ss,2o5.

What is probably the most valuable
tree in the world is an alligator pear
tree at Whittier, Cal, which netted
its owner a profit of S3.205 in one
year. This tree was planted in 1906
and began bearing in its fourth year
In 1912 it bore 1900 pears. which sold
for $1,000, while the sale of buds dur
ing the same year amounted to ST..
705, making the total given above
The tree is a seeding. the seed hav.
ing been planted with a quantity OF
other seed which had been imported
presumably from Mexico. Another
tree which was planted at the same
time, and which stands close to this
phenomenal bearer, has never borne
more than so pears in a season. This
valuable tree is now protected by a
high fence built on an octagonal plan
The pears weigh from eight to twelve
ounces each.

Why We Give Thanks.

Thanksgiving to God is fitting, be
cause we have countless reasons fol
it, God is our father, and he fills al
our days with blessings There is new
er a moment when we have not some
thing new for which TO praise him
There is blessing in everything HI
does for us and sends'to us. We SHOULD
be most ungrateful if we did not give
thanks unto God. Prayer should no
be all clamor for new favors. 1t SHOULD
be full of recognition of mercies ant
good things 1t is good, also. to give
thanks, because it makes our own lives
sweeter, truer and more beautiful. Joy
Is beauty Praise is comedy. One who
does not give thanks lacks the high
est element of loneliness. Ingratitude
is dark and somber; praise is light ant
beautiful. Giving thanks also makes
us greater blessings to others. Prais
ing people scatter inspiration
wherever they go. They make Others
happier, drawer. stronger. Our days
should be full of praise and song. Then
God will be pleased with our lives and
this world will be made sweetsr and
better-J. r. Miller. D. d.
