A Municipal Christmas Tree

New York, Dec. 16.-The municipal
Christmas tree for the five millions
Of New Workers has been set up in
Madison Square. The idea of a large
municipal Christmas tree in the open
air raj tried for the first time last
year and met with such success that
it is not only to be repeated here,
but is to be adopted in many cities
throughout the country. Electricians
have begun trimming the tree in Mad
ison Square and beneath it's twinkl-
ing branches delegations from the
city's choral societies will sing Yule-
tide carols on Christmas eve.

in this period, the commissioner of
the general land Office, may, at his
discretion, allow the settler such ad-
ditional period not exceeding in the
aggregate IL months, within which to
establish his residence.
This does not mean that because
residence cannot be established with
in six months for the reasons above
stated, the settler is authorized to
delay the commencement Of residence
beyond the required limit after the
for delay no longer exists.
An application for extension of time
must as a rule, be filed in the land
office for the district In which the
land lies within six months from the
date of entry. 1t must be in the form
of an affidavit, corroborated by two
people having actual knowledge of
the facts, and should set forth in de-
tail the grounds upon which extension
of time is asked. This must include
a statement as to the probable dur.
alton of the extension.
Another ruling of the department
is that the area of cultivation requir-
ed may be reduced If proper reasons
are shown. The homestead laws were
enacted primarily for the purpose Of
enabling the citizens of the United
States "in good faith to obtain a
home" and the entryman must at all
times show that this is the only ca
son he filed upon the land.
However, If the tract of land enter
ed is so hilly or rough, or the soil so
alkaline, compact or swampy, the
precipitation Of moisture so light as
not to make cultivation practicable
to the extent of the required amount,
or If the land is generally valuable
only for grazing, a reduction in the
area of cultivation may be permitted.
No reduction in the area of cult
walton will be permitted on account
of the expense in removing the stand.
ing timber from the land. If the
lands are so heavily timbered that the
entryman can not reasonably clear
and cultivate the area prescribed by
statute, such entries shall be consid-
cred speculative and not made in good
faith for the purpose Of obtaining a
home.

PROGRESS ON THE FARM

The greatest progress In scientific
farming in the United States has
been through the introduction Of ex-
pertinent and demonstration farms,
employment of farm advisers for
counties and the organization of pig
clubs, canning clubs, garden clubs,
cotton clubs and corn clubs. The de.
partment of agriculture has done a
great work, but there has been some
ground for the assertion that habitual
reading of its publications promotes
the accumulation of dust on the
lungs, says the Globe emocrat. The
man between the plow handles has
often shown contempt for the specta-
cled professor with his talk of chem
istry. Book farmers" has long been
the butt of rural ridicule. Deaf ears
were turned to men that sought to
tell how farming should be done.
But when the Missouri policy of
showing the farmer was adopted
there came an instant change. The
man who through use of scientific
methods raised twice the average
crop on land with whose history his
neighbors were familiar Immediately
attracted attention. Everybody want
ed to know how it was accomplished
and his system was copied by other
farmers until an entire community
was transformed.
The organization of clubs among
the boys and girls, with attractive
prizes for the best display of prod
ucts, has succeeded beyond the most
sanguine expectations of the move
ment. 1t is the healthiest form of
rivalry that could be aroused in any
community and in many countries
practically all the farmers boys and
girls are enlisted in the competition.
In many sections of Texas it has
doubled the average yield of corn
and the work has hardly started.
The county fairs have again become
agricultural displays instead Of places
where the attractions of the midway
and the pike are repeated for the
delectation of rural youths. 1t Is do.
ing more to make country life attrac-
tive to the boys and girls than all
the homilies written by urban phil
osophers. When farm work becomes
both productive and interesting and
the telephone, consolidated schools,
good roads, and free rural delivery
have been more generally extended,
one of our greatest current problems
will have found its sotution.

of s s. S, psoriasis entirely disap-
peared and there was never again the
slightest sign Of it.
Like nearly all skin diseases, pso-
riasis is primarily due to impaired
blood
The skin is but network of fine
blood vessels. And it is a perfectly
natural consequence that any influence
in the blood that is a condition of i'll
health makes its first appearance in
the skin. There is one ingredient in
S. S. s. which peculiarly stimulates
cellular or glandular activity TO select
from the blood or from this fine net
work Of blood vessels in the skin. those
elements which it requires for re-
generation.
Thus pimp1es, acne, eczema, lupus.
or any other blood condition that at
tacks the skin or seeks an outlet
through the skin, is met with the an
tidotal effect Of S. S. s.
This is why skin troubles vanish so
readily and why they do not return.
You can get S. S. S. in any drug
