The FIRST Oncnse.

In a certain neighborhood there
resided an honest farmer. who was
not easily swerved from the path OF
rectitude. He owned horse which
a couple OF traders wished to pos
sess. They called on the farmer. and
after some haggling, gave him his
price and drove OFF with the. prize
They had scarcely gone three miles
when the horse dropped dead in the
road.
Seeing the farmer few days
later, they approached him with;
What kind of a horse was that you
sold US the other day?'
"a good, ali-around horse. sirs.
yes he was! He dropped down
dead before we got three miles from
home"
The farmer listened In open
meuthed establishment. and then ex-
claimed: upon my word Of honor
gentlemen. he never done that way
for me."--McCalrs Magazine.

BUSINESS CAN TAKE CARE OF
ITSELF

ltrom the Philadelphia Public Ledger |
The example of the St Louis busi-
ness men who are planning to finance a
large part of the cotton crop ought to re
assure nervous Congressman. The presi-
dent of the st. Louis Clearing House in
tends to tell Secretary McAdoo to-day
that the Government need not concern
itself with the cotton situation, as pri-
vate enterprise is ready and willing to
assume whatever risk there is in tiding
the planters over the emergency. The
cotton is to be stored in warehoIfs
ana the banks are to lend money on
the warehouse receipts.
This evidence that business is suffici-
ent unto itself was not needed to con-
vince experienced men of the foolish
ness Of Government Intervention. But
there is group of shallow-p pated dema-
gogues whose leaders always demand
that the Government shall step in
whenever there is an unusual business
situation, as If the Government could
suspend economic laws and change loss
into profit by a form of words written
on a piece of paper. All that was need
ed to save the cotton situation was to
give business men time enough to learn
just what conditions are. Then busi-
ness enterprise does all the rest. And
the same thing will happen In other
branches of trade IL the Government
will only keep its hands off long
enough.

WAR

Ger glories gone the invaders march,
Weeps triumph DER each leveled
arch;
Freedom, such as God hath given
Unto all beneath His heaven,
With their breath. and from their
birth,
Though Guilt would sweep it from
the earth
With a fierce and lavish hand,
Scattering nations wealth like sand,
Pouring nations blood like water,
In imperial seas of slaughter!
But the heart and the mind,
And the voice of mankind,
Shall arise in communion
And who shall resist that proud
union?
The time is past when swords SUBJ
dued--
Man may die, the souls renewed;
Even in this low world of care
Freedom ne'er shall want an heir;
Millions breathe, but to inherit
Her forever bounding spirit
When once more her hosts assemble
Tyrants shall believe and tremble.
Lord Byron.

OUR TREES
loss of half-dozen or more
trees in the River Front park
\ during last weeks storm shows

TRHE loss of half-doZen or more
trees in the River Front park
= during last weeks storm shows
very clearly that, if Harrisburg
ldoes not need a shade tree commits
sion, as members of the City Council
seem to think, the city does need, and
very badly, too, somebody to pay par
ticular attention to it's trees. Those
that were blown down might have
Fbeen saved by the timely attention of
ia tree doctor.
The Special Park Commission of
iChicago gave, in a bulletin, a reason
for good care of leafy assets and for
planting more. THE commercial value
of the tree should appeal to those
who are not touched by its civic and
esthetic value. The real estate man
knows tha' a tree-bordered street
means high-class property, which
grows in value with the growth of the
tree. Trees are inviting and encourag-
ing to outdoor life 1t is partly for
this advantage that those who have
the means seek homes in the suburbs
and farther in the country. There
they can enjoy trees in their native
splendor and fill their lungs with the
pure oxygen generated by the abund-
ance of plant life
Trees conserve the health and nfe
of the residents of our overcrowded
cities w, A. Murrill, in a bulletin
issued by Cornell University, states:
"Trees add to the healthfulness of
city by cooling and purifying the air
Besides cutting off the direct and re-
nected rays of the sun, foliage, by eva
porating large quantities of water
from its surface, exercises a marked
effect on the temperature. The reduc-
ton of the temperature in this way is
greatest on dry, hot days when such
reduction is most needed. Leaves also
manufacture oxygen needed by hu-
mans for respiration Circulation of
the air. due to unequal temperature
is likewise promoted by trees properly
pruned and arranged; while the air of
Easements and cellars is rendered
less humid by the removal of surplus
water from the surrounding soil
through the medium of roots and fol-
iage."
In some of our cities, and Harris
burg is one of them, trees. instead of
being beneficial to the community,
through neglect and ignorance. de-
generate to a source of injury to the

THRIFTY DON'TS"

~ w. STRAUS, president of the
American Society for Thrift, has
~ issued card of thrifty don'ts
that ought to be framed and
hung in the kitchen of every house
wife interested in keeping down the
high cost of living. Here they are:
Don't telephone for groceries un-
less you specify as to quality and
price.
Don't run in debt for necessarles
cash buying is always the better
buying.
Don't be without the fireless
cooker; it will soon save its cost.
But get noninfiammable sort.
Don't cook too much, merely to
fill a garbage can.
Don't buy small quantities of
staples; buy in bulk.
Don't fail to explain eXpendi-
lures. and to keep inside the limit
you fix.
Don't be ashamed of saving PEN
nies; other .'lse you are easy"
prey.
Don't add to delivery expense by
ordering at the last moment. Keep
ahead of actual needs
Don't patronize loan sharks. Get
cooperative credit union started
to finance emergency needs.
Don't buy vegetables out of sea-
son and expect low prices.
Don't think spendthrifts need be
capitalists. one can be a spend
thrift with a dollar as well as with
larger sums.
Don't let false pride cost you
money. There is no happiness in ii.
Don't feel too sure you are get
ting the most possible out of your
expenditures; learn what hard
pan" really is.
Don't forget that peace of mind
is better than things you cannot
afford.
Don't forget either that you al
ways can afford courtesy, kindness
and a smile.
1t is safe to say that any woman
following strictly the advice laid dowi
in the foregoing can cut her expenses
10 per cent. Too often we blame higl
prices when we should blame our OWL
inclination to careless expenditure
System is needful in the management
of the kitchen Just as it is in bust
ness. The woman who is letting 10 pei
cent. of her household expenses, ol
even smaller proportion, get ava!
from her without proper return IL
wasteful. and a wasteful woman ough
to he the last person to complain o.
high living costs.

TUESDAY EVENING. AUGUST y
BUuDING ASSOCIATIONS

THE building and loan associations
of PENNSYLVANIA assisted in
l. building or purchasing 1881
homes during 1918 for their
Shareholders, according to the annual
report of State Banking Commissioners
William b. Smith, made public yes
aerday.
Nearly 10000 people own their own
homes, or are paying for them, rs a
result of the building associations.
This is saving on a vast scale. Very
probably many of the liome builders
or buyers would have found means
Through the banks or otherwise to
borrow the money with which to make
the desired investment, but unques-
tionably the associations were of vast
benefit to many who would without
their aid still be living in rented homes.
Any means of saving is to be encour-
aged. The building and loan organ
3zations have been of vast service in
the development of Pennsylvania and
Commissioner Smith is quite right in
warning the managers of some of
them against overstepping the bounds
of their usefulness. These associations
have certain very definite lines to fol-
low and to leave them is not only to
endanger the savings of hundreds of
public mind a distrust that ought not
to exist and which past experience
does not warrant.

| public. For instance. in Chicago the
Special Park Commission reports that
| there are more than 1900 dead trees
standing in the streets of Chicago at
the present time. In addition there
are even a larger number of trees that
are partly dead and badly in need of
trimming. The dead trees are liable to
fall at any time, especially in wind
storm, making them a source of danger
to passersby. They also afford excellent
breeding places for injurious insect
and fungus pests. which multiply on
these dead trees ana branches, from
which they are carried to the living
trees, where they continue their de-
structive work.
The lack of municipal control has
permitted street trees to suffer from
carelessness of citizens, who have
mutilated trees by bad trimming and
by collision of vehicles, used them for
hitching posts allowing their half
fed horses to bite. gnaw and tear off

to do about it? Our trees are worth
