It is a fine time of year to plant tree. Don't forget this. It is impor- tant whether you own your land or not, as there is something of interest in having planted something that will become a benefit to mankind and a beautifier to earth. It we had little system of tree planting that would be revived in the fall and the spring, it would not be many years before all parts of Prescott and vicinity would present the appearance of a thrifty prosperous and contented condition among the people.

LIFTING POWER OF GOOD LAWS.

There Is no epigram current more misleading and fallacious than the one that says: You can't make man virtuous by law" This Is just what can be done and Is being done by all legislative bodies; that is the ac- complishment of civilization. The edu- cative power of law has transformed the barbarian into civilized nation. abolished the long train of outlawed barbarisms. Let lawmakers and voters take note of the fact that society Is being elevated by wise legislation.- Rev Jenkin Lloyd Jones.

It is not too late to make some reso- lutions about the corn crop. Every man whether he has even a horse or not and whether he has any more land than a home garden should be inter- ested in this. The successful grow ing of corn would just now mean as much to this country as anything else we can imagine in an agricultural way. Feed is expensive and it is cumbersome and expensive to handle. When we produce the feed at home, we will be on the high road to pros perity.

WAGE FARMER AND DRINK.

The liquor traffic pays to wage earners in the manufacture of liquor less than $46,000,000 annually.
 But 75 times as much is paid to wage earners by the total number of manufacturers.
 It is better, therefore, that one saloon keeper should lose his job than that "A of his patrons should lose their jobs

LET'S TAKE THE TIP

u ,,,orbers of the Arkansas Fire ontion 'ns Association came, looked ar and have gone. At the court '0o v, last night, they told in a gen Ou'' s, wav what they had discovered 'd laI will furnish our city government lith more complete data later. They WI V, proscott was no worse than any a. town of about this size that m hod inspected but that we had 'onv defects and, by remedylng ~ am we could not only reduce the Disability of disasterous fire break Eg out here but also materially trim 70 cost of insurance.
 The members of the Association did ;. come to us in a spirit of dic- stion hut of suggestion. They work
 diligently and gave us the bene- of their findings without cost. |bev promised to aid us further, in nv way against probable great losses the future.
 Members of this Society visited Hot (Dr;ncs before the great disaster over ,ere Just as they did in Prescott lev thoroughly examined the whole |ty and reported at a mass meeting. he citizens of Hot Springs Cor a art of theml did not believe the ssertions that they were taking a heat risk of serious fire. But sub pouent events proved that the fire revention men were right and the ktzen were wrong. Too late to pmedy the defects Hot Springs bund herself facing the most serious saster in her history.
 We should heed the suggestions of e fire prevention men. We can't Ike too many precautions against e disasters. As one speaker said, st night, it's always the unusual luses that are responsible for the ost disastrous fires. By paying at ntion to eradcating all causes We Fe safe in believeing that we can re- bee the fire loss in this city 10 ev insignificant minimum.
 Use your reasoning power a little pouring over the recommendations ade by the fire prevention experts. Is a good thing for the insurance mpanies, of course, to prevent dis trouS fires. But it's equally as nch to your interest or the interest your neighbor. No man ever made ny money honestly out of a fire, even
 fully protected by insurance. It's great deal more profitable to the foperty owner to avert fire than to Aye one. Thus the insurance com AnleS and the policy holders have the me community of in terests. Either
 both of them should be vitally in. rested Tn fire prevention. The insur- zee companies have demonstrated elf interest. How about you?
