WHAT IS A SHADE TREE WORTH?

How many people know what d shade tree is worth? How many give thought to it's value? Its grateful shade is enjoyed its beauty is appreciate ted both in d general sense, but few per haps stop think of it's actual cash value Perhaps this is brought home more forcibly to q man than when d shade in front of his residence q of which he is proud. is damaged or destroyed Then ask him it's cash value. He is likely measure it by his own sense of what the has meant to him. Not unnaturaily he may declare the worth hundreds of dollars to him He will tell you what is only apparent that it be replaced at once for thousands of dollars It will take years to grow a similar tree the spot.
 It was somewhat startling to the people of Ann Arhor Mich. to learn from the recent report of their city engineer that the shade trees of the city valued $29000O This is over d quarter of d million dollars worth of property which the average might never consider in giving an es- innate of the citys wealth.
 Prof Filfbert Roth of the forestry department of the University of Michigan was asked 10 give the valuation, and his report names this modest sum- For the purpose of estimating the value of the trees and shrubs owned hy the city lt was assumed that trees stand rods apart throughout the re- sdence sections of the city. According to Pro lessor Roth tree is worth $1O when 1t is nicely established and is four inches in diameter at point breast high. Figuring the compound interest at per cent, this Sl0 has grown into $2o in only eighteen years. All figured on this basis since hundreds of them might be rated at more than S1OO apiece. It is estimated that there are in Ann Arbor at the present time about twelve thousand shade which measure six inches m diameter besides two thousand smaller trees set out ln the last fifteen years
 In discussing his report Professor Roth says:
 Why. a matter of business 1t may be sad that these trees could not be replaced for this sum of A shade tree grows in value up to a certain time then remains stationary in value for many years and after that declines. But until il is good tree and really does the service expected it is fair to charge cost and interest the Generally tree is over twenty-five years old be- it is a serviceable shade and pays it's way. If it is worth BIO when 1t is five years old If is worth $20 at the end of twenty five years. From the standpoint of city identification and consider ing the enjoyment people get out of them good shade trees worth $100 apiece This is the valuation placed trees by the city of Springfield Mass.-Amercan Forestry

THE LITTLE CORPORAL

It is related that Napoleon once badly de- fcated Coblenz by the Cossacks After the battle he surrounded by enemies and would have lost his life had he not been saved by the presence of mind of of his soldiers Corporal Spohn
 Realizing that Napoleons only chance for life in getting off the battlefield unrecog gnized the poral begged the emperor change hats and horses with him. The change made the smoke of battle had cleared away, and Napoleon, with his corporals hat and mounted d poor steed rode away unnoticed the Cossacks crowding around the corporal. Taking him prisoner, they led him in tri- umph to the Russian general. There the mistake discovered and the corporals brave act cost him his life.
 According to the Coblentz legend, Napoleon. in remembrance of Spohns self sacrifice, always this preferred corpora's uniform any other, and it so often that his speak of him familiary Le Petit Corpora.-From The Rhine" translated by G. C. T. Bartley.

We wish that everybody in Arizona might be i'll Prescott July 3, f. and 6 at the annual Frontier Day celebration It is to be as has been in the past. prolonged Fourth July celebration and the Fourth is elaboratefy enjoyaby and periodically observed in Prescott than in any other place know of.

 But there is something Prescott more de- lghtful and refreshing than it's Fourth of July eli mate It is the unbounded hospitality it's citizens tap every day of the year. Nothing is too good for visitors. We know of other quite like it. The hotels do make the gathering of visitors in great numbers occasion for the amasslng of wealth. The houses of private citizens thrown open, even to strangers, and all who behave de gently made to feel that they welcome and that Prescott is pleased with their presence
 Those who will go there from less favored iocali- ties next month, who stay few days and breathe that cool pine-laden air, will come away strength ened refreshed and improved to heart lungs and soul.

Long, Staple Cotton

The received by the Chandler cotton grow that they going to receive SIS more q bale than they expected must have the effect of stmu lating interest in that section in the cultivation Of long-staple cotton. Word also comes that En- glish syndicate which has large holdings in Egypt where it has been engaged in raising long staple several years has leased 5000 in the Imperial valley for the growth of this kind of cot 1t is this part of the world that the markets are turning for hgh-grade cotton In the other comparatively few known localities where of this kind could be produced, the quality has dee- riorated within the years that spinners have become alarmed.
 That it can be produced here and in the other valleys of the southwest has been demonstrated so that the demand for any supply that may be of fered may be expected become sharper and prices better Of one thing the growers of long staple cotton may be assured and that is that the supply can be greater than the demand; that there will be alternating lean years; all of them will be fat: that there can be no failure the crop except by pests, and that there is other region in the world so inaccessible to pests the Salt River Valley.
 All possible encourag cement of the long staple cotton industry has been extended by the govern ment It is being extended still and. doubt, for years the watchful eye Of the department of agriculture will be on the American grower of long staple cotton and its helping hand will be of fered to him.
 It would be strange if valley farmers should turn away from the alluring prospect or should reject the assistance which the government has of fered them along the road to certain prosperity.

CHILDREN OF YOUNG PARENTS HAVE BEST
 CHANGE LIFE

A German scientist Doctor Naerting Berlin has lately published little book the most favor able age in parents the production of children of ability. He approaches the question entirely in this new spirit a merely academic topic of dis cussion. but d practical matter of vital lmpor- tance to the welfare of society
 The most easily ascertainable and measurable factor in the production of ability and certainly factor which cannot be without significance, is the age of the parents at the chd's birth. It is this with which Naerting is mainly concerned as Illustrated by hundred German of genius concerning whom he has been able to obtain the required data
 Vaertng finds that the fathers who them selves of no notable intellectual distinction have d decidedly more prolonged power of procreating dis tinguished children than is possessed by distinguish ed fathers The former that is to say, may become the fathers of eminent children to the of A. or beyond. When, however, the father is himself of high intellectual distinction Vaertng finds that he was nearly always under 30 and usually under 25 years of age at his distinguished sons birth, all though the proportion of youthful fathers in the general population is relatively small. The eleven youngest fathers Naerting's list from T to ? years of age were CwIth eXception) themselves les distinguished, while the fifteen oldest from 39 to years of age, all, without eXcep- ton, undstinguished
 The elderly fathers belong to large cities and were mostly married wives very much younger than themselves Naerting notes that the most emi nent geniuses have most frequently been the of fathers who engaged in intellectual vo- cations all, but earned their livings as simple craftsmen. He draws the cOnclusiOn from these data that intellectual energy is much more unfavorable than hard physical labor to the produc- ton of ability the offspring. Intellectual workers therefore he argues must have their children when young. modify our social ideas and economic conditions to render this possible
 That the mother should be equally young is not, he holds necessary He finds superiority, deed provided the father is young. in somewhat eld-
