TREE WEARS ODD RING
Lifts Milestone and holds it in
Grip Above Ground.

Some years ago an OLD grist
mill at South Dover, N. y, was
abandoned and one of the mill
stones, with a hole in the center,
was left out of the ground. In
the course of time a small seed
ling sprouted inside the hole and
gradually it grew and increased
in size, says the Pathfinder.
The matter became the subject
of much debate in the neighbor-
hood as to what would happen
when the tree and the stone got
to working against each other.
Nearly every one believed that
as the tree grew it would by its
expansion eventually break the
stone. Others thought that the
stone would girdle the tree, keep
the Sap from ascending and thus
kill it. But no one expected to
see what really happened. This
was that the tree neither broke
the stone nor was itself killed,
but that it grew bulge below
and above the stone, thus holding
it in a vice-Iike grip, and then
lifted it clear off the ground.
It took considerable strength
to raise the stone. as it weighs
several hundred pounds, but the
action of the sap, stimulated by
the heat of the sun in the grow
ing tree, did the work.

that he will give most careful

The communication received
by Mr.. Ammons yesterday is in
reply to letter sent to Mr.. Will

A Man With the Mission
ary Spirit in Every
County would soon Solve
The Rural Problem:
BY CHAS. S. BARRETT.

I have always been IN favor
of missionaries.
The kind that the farmer now
needs most is the man, just one
man, with the missionary spirit
in each county. who will study
the problems of the farmer and
bring to their solution the same
zeal and fervor of the man or
woman who travels to distant
lands to convert the heather.
The farmer is the greatest, the
most priceless asset of America.
His problems are the problems
of the nation.
They cannot be settled by lee
turers or enthusiasts in conven-
ton halls. however kind inten-
toned or devoted these gentle
men may be.
They must be solved by the
men who live with the farmer
the year round, who sees him IN
pladness and sorrow, who can
show him how to avoid the pit
falls of the demagogue, and also
of his own weakness, here and
there, his suspicion and his cred
ulity.
Do you think there is one man
in your county who will put up
with your cussedness. as well as
your nobihty-for you are a
strange mixture of both! 10
you think there is one man an
your county who will! develop the
courage to tell you. the truth, not
once but all the time; who will
stick to you, even when you
show signs of abandoning him?
That is the sort of spirit need
ed to aid the farmer of America,
wherever located.
The work may not pay much
in dollars and cents. But the
man who enlists in the cause
NAV have as his reward the con-
sciousness that he is serving
generations yet unborn.

WHEAT ANCESTOR
FOUND.
Wild Cerial Discovered In
Palestine Soon To Cow
er Plains of Colorado.

CHICAGO, Jan. 4.-(Chicago
Tribune Denver Times Special. }
The alluring prospect that some
day and that not long distant,
the arid highlands of New Mexi-
co, and the plains Of Colorado,
the sun-parched plains of Texas
and other vast areas Of so-called
desert lands in the West may be
converted into richly productive
wheat fields was held forth
today by Aaron Aronsohn. He
delivered an address at a lun-
cheon given in his honor by Ju-
lius Rosenwald at the Blackstone
hotel.
Aronsohn is the discoverer of
wild" wheat. AS head of the
Jewish agricultural experiment
station in Haifa. Palestine, he is
conducting a work which is not
only Of value practically but is
regarded by scientists as of i'm
mense Importance biologically
and historically.
The discovery that American
domesticated wheat had an ex-
isting wild" ancestor was an
nounced through scientific jour
nails some time ago and created
a sensation. 1t had teen sup
posed the prototype of the cerial
had long since been extelminated
in the course OF natural selection.
The most interesting part OF
Aronsohn's talk had to do with
experiments that have been made
in Palestine with the wild" an.
cestor. In this connection Aron-
sohn ventured the prediction
that a species may be developed
which can be grown proftably
in places where no vegetation
exists at all now. He particular
ly has in view parts Of Western
America California, Colorado,
New Mexico, Texas and Nevada
as the natural environment for
the plant.
In the experiments eighteen
varieties Of the wild wheat have
already been developed. These
are adapted to varying soil con-
ditions and climates. Eventual
ly, he hopes, a plant may be
evolved which, possessing all the
food values of domesticated
wheat, may preserve the ances-
tors hardihood.

SAVE THE PENNIES.
(By S. j. Lewis.)

-"Save the pennies!" Again
are we afflicted with the stu
pid advice, the frayed and moth
eaten adage coming this time
from John D. Rockefeller, to
whom an impecunious populace
usually turns a patient and open
ear when he speaks of the ladder
rounds that lead to high finance.
But the oil kings present ad-
monition- given to a school
teacher when she asked how he
possessed so much while she pos
sessed so little-is just about as
dull and yalueless Of the frivc-
lous remarks of the 100-year-old
man who lays down rules to
reach the century mark.
Very few ever really saved the
pennies-Mr. Rockefeller least
of all. Certainly no one ever
grew rich at it
Of course it takes pennies to
make dollars. 1t needs no pom
derous proof from financial
giant to establish that truth.
Also it is accepted that dollars
are required to be money rich.
But to literally acquire wealth
by lose-gripping the coppers
was never done.
In the things that pennies will
buy the poor often find their en-
ly happiness. To become veal
thy by rigid denial of every
little pleasure is to obtain some
thing not worth the price. The
life that denies itself every lux
ury, every joy and many neces-
sites is as drained and dry as a
squeezed orange,
To spend the pennies-yes and
few dollors, too--on clothing
in which you will not be ashamed,
on home containing the COM
forts suitable to your station, and
On a few pastimes that better fit
you for the work of tomorrow
is to get something out Of lie
to live while you go.
It is we'll to acquire a compe-
tence, but to get it by scirrping,
by boarding. by clutching is to
figuratively pull down the shades
and shut out all life's sunshine.
Economy and thrift are vastly
different from miserliness and
niggardliness. The person who
lives in pennies always works
for pennies. Nor ever advances
to the dollar-earning, dollar
! spending. dollar-saving state.
