THR0NG THE SYNAGOGUES
FOR FEAST OF TABERNACLES
Jews Observe Holiday With Prayers
of Thanksgiving.

The Feast of Tabernacles, or Succoth
as it is called in Hebrew, which began
last night and which lasts eight days,
was observed today with prayers of
Thanksgiving, which were offered in
synagogues throughout the city.
The custom of dwelling in booths, known
as the Sukkah, is observed as a symbol
of the tabernacle built at the time of
the exodus of the Jews from Egypt on
their way to the promised land.
These booths are built in the yards of
Jewish homes and on the grounds front
ing the synagogues. Especial attention
is given to the latter, in that they are
made up of carefully selected branches
and boughs of thick trees. Members of
the congregation contribute tapestries
that adorn the walls of the booths, and
beautiful fruits imported from Palestine.
that hang from the ceiling = or eight
days Orthodox Jews will eat their meals
in the succoth, followed by prayers of
thanks for the bounty of nature.
Special services were held this morning
at the Mkveh Israel Synagogue Broad
and York streets; Keneseth Israel Syna-
gogue. Broad street and Columbia ave-
nue; Beth Israel Synagogue, 32d and
Berks streets, and Ahavath Ashim Syna-
gogue, Second and Christian streets,
where Rabbi Leventhal spoke on the
Symbol of Peace"
The pursuit of agriculture and its won
derful possibilities in times of peace rang
foremost in Jewish houses of worship.
On the fourth day Of prayer, called o
Shanah Rabah, penitent Jews, who were
from worship on the Day of
Atonement, may yet pray for reversion
of sentence. The eighth day, which as
sumes a solemn character, will mark tine
end and the beginning of the reading OF
the Holy Scroll.

Trees furnish one of the most strik.
ing and permanent forms of beauty.
What stately grace, what fine proper
tfons, what variety of expression, and
what unconscious dignity may be seen
In a well-developed tree. How they
beautify and glorify every landscape.
Trees improve the climate and con-
serve soil and water. Although the In
huence of trees and forests ON climate
is not definitely known, the effect of
an all too reckless destruction is be-
ginning to be felt. Springs and streams
are failing that never failed before
soil droughts are more severe and pro-
tracted. Untimely frosts are more
ruinous to all the more delicate fruits
and wind storms are more damaging
than in former years.
Trees furnish safe shelter and
natural resting places for birds. Birds
are the best allies we have in fighting
insects, but the removal Of the forests
has greatly lessened the number of in.
secteating birds. Trees furnish a
great variety of miscellaneous, useful
products, such as fruits, nuts, sugar
honey, tannin, pitch, turpentine. dyes
and medicines.
AS the only source Of wood supply
trees touch the welfare Of every man
woman and child, but their influence
goes much farther. 1t underlies the
great questions of soil preservation
and soil fertility; the use and control
of rivers and streams; the water sup
ply of towns and cities. In short, civ
ilization and progress are based largely
on trees. There is no crime against
nature that draws down more certain
or severe punishment than that OF
stripping the earth of all her trees

estry, Ohio State University.

TREES HAVE HUMAN TRAITS
They Possess Some of the Same Char
acteristics That Belong to
People.

Trees have the power Of suggesting
thoughts and feelings. These thoughts
and feelings are attributes of people.
In other words, trees are sometimes
thought of as being possessed of some
of the same characteristics that belong
to people. The oak tree, because of its
size and shape Of limbs, suggests
strength. The elm tree symbolizes
grace and beauty. The birch is some
times called the Lady of the Forest"
Some trees are weeping, some gay,
some quiet and retiring. Some, such
as the sycamore. are ghostlike. Others,
like the honey locust, because of the
great array of thorns, appear warlike.
The Lombardy poplar. which grows 80
tall, suggests precision. One of these
trees standing by itself like lone SEN
tinel is one of Natures most impress
sive sights.

Land Leasing Condemned by s.ockmen

Land Leasing Condemned by Stockmen
Denver. = The Colorado Stock
growers Association adopted resolu-
tions condemning the governments
land-leasing bills now pending in Con-
gress, and favoring changes in the
laws which will permit of the fullest
use of the public ranges without inter-
fering with the development of the
state.
A. A. Jones, first assistant secretary
of the Interior, intimated that the de-
partment was not satisfied with the
grazing bill He declared that the
public lands had been set aside es-
sentially for the creation of homes
and that he was strongly adverse to
letting out large areas for long leases
to individuals.
The cattlemen's district organiza-
tions are expected to take further ac-
ton. Fred P. Johnson, secretary OF
the state organization, said that he
believed the smaller organizations
would stand solidly against the pres
ent program. These associations, he
said, are formed mostly of the smaller
stock raisers who fear that the
leasing of public lands in large areas
will aid in establishing monopolies
which may ultimately embarrass their
business.
The convention closed with the
election of officers. Three of the four
executives were re-elected-Frank D.
Squier of Rifle, president; NJ. ]. Nc
Millin of Lamar, vice president, and
Fred P. Johnson of Denver, secretary.
Arnold Powell of Yampa succeeded ].
p Adams of Denver as treasurer on

WHAT DO WE PLANT?


What do we plant when we
plant the tree?
We plant the ship which will
cross the sea,
We plant the masts to carry the
sails,
We plant the plank to Withstand
the gales,
The keel, keelson and beam and
knee,
We plant the ship when we
plant the tree.
What do we plant when we
plant the tree?
We plant the houses for you
and me,
We plant the rafters. the shin
giles, the floor,
We plant the studding, the
laths, the door,
The beams and sidings, all parts
that be,
We plant the house when we
plant the tree.
What do we plant when we
plant the tree?
A thousand things that we daily
see.
We plant the spire that out
towers the crag,
We plant the staff for our coun-
try's flag,
We plant the shade, from the
hot sun free,
We plant all these when we
plant the tree.

gard them as of little use, If not
actual enemies. A little study will
reveal some of the things that trees
do. Animals grow and become larger.
This is due to the food they eat.
Trees also grow, but they use differ
ent food. and take it in quite a diff
ferent way. They live upon mineral
matter-that is, air. water and soil,
which they change into their own
substance. BY gradual addition of new
material, trees become larger and
larger each year, for growth is simply
the increase of a living thing in size
and substance.
Trees help to keep the air pure for
man and the lower animals. How do
they do this? The element of the air
that makes 1t fit for breathing is gas
called oxygen. About one-fifth of the
volume of the air is oxygen, and at
every breath animals take in some of
this oxygen and change it into carbonic
acid gas. In other words, the oxygen
is breathed in, combines with the car
bon in the blood and this makes car
bonic gas, which is breathed out into
the air in place of the oxygen taken In
There is a small amount Of carbonic
acid gas in the air everywhere, and at
all times; the usual amount is about
one part in every $500 parts of air.
This carbonic acid is unfit for the
breathing Of animals, and wherever it
increases in the air, even to slight
extent above the usual amount found,
animals cannot live. Trees and other
plants prevent the carbonic acid from
accommodating in dangerous quantities
in ordinary air. They do this by abb
sorbing this gas through their leaves.
1t Is their principal food. 1t makes
trees grow. for little more than one
half of the trunks and branches of
every tree is carbon, and this all comes
from the carbonic acid from the air.
Trees supply a large part of all the
fuel in the world. The real wood of
trees Is of little or no use as a food,
but it does largely serve to cook food
and serve as a protection against cold.
Even the coal dug from the earth, as
well as the coal and gas now SO gen.
orally used for fuel, come from the
vegetable matter and are largely the
remains of trees in forests that flour
ished before man existed on earth.
Trees give us wood, and wood fur
nishes building material, furniture,
implements, utensils, tools and other
useful things in great variety. Wood
is one of the necessities of life. We
are rocked in cradles made Of wood;
when we sit down, 1t is in chairs or
benches of wood; every day we eat
from wooden tables; the papers and
books that we read and study are
printed on paper made from wood;
whenever we ride out 1t is in wagon,
carriage or car made largely Of wood.
More than one-half of the houses in
the world are built Of wood and the
other half use wood for doors, floors
ana other interior parts; nearly all
barns are made Of wood. We ship our
fruits, vegetables and many other
products in baskets. barrels and crates
made of wood; we pack our butter
and pork, and buy our nails and salt In
frkins, kegs or barrels made Of wood.
Wood is Indispensable to our comfort,
convenience and happiness.

Good Roads.
I'VE reiterate that per centum Of

should be granted to the said states
to aid in construction of permanent
roads.
Delays-Red Tape.
eve believe one of the greatest
blessings the officials at Washington
could bestow upon the West would be
the elimination of all red tape and the
taking of prompt action upon all mat

that efforts are already being made in
that direction.
Interior Department.
1--WE are pleased at the thoughtful
ness of the secretary of the interior
in sending so many of his representa-
tives to the irrigation conference now
in session in this city. We express our
appreciation of his intention to adopt
a more liberal policy toward the set
and assure him of our hearty cooper
alton in this direction.
1--WE recommend that 10 per centum
of all vacant and unappropriated pub
lie lands in each of the arid states be
donated to such states and each of
T, them as shall SO request, said lands
to be sold by such states as other
state lands are disposed of and the
proceeds of such sales to form a reser-
voir fund to be used under the direc-
tion of the state for irrigation recla-
nation purposes.
"We urgently recommend that the
United States reclamation projects
now under process of construction be
completed at the earliest practicable
moment and turned over to the
settlers Hereunder as soon as can be.
Would Complete Projects.
eve urgently recommend that the
United States reclamation service i'm,
mediately investigate any and all
Carey land, irrigation district or like
projects commenced or under con-
struction in the arid states and render
such projects all financial and other
assistance possible, to the end that
they may be Immediately completed
and the settlers Hereunder protected
and assisted and the persons holding
bonds issued against said projects be
compensated as far as practicable.
Whereas, the Western governors
have received many kindnesses and
courtesies from Governor Ammons,
the good citizens of Colorado and of
Denver in particular,
-"Now, therefore, be it resolved, That
the hearty thanks of this conference
of Western governors be extended to
Governor Ammons and the people of
Denver and of the state of Colorado
pitality.
I'VE urge the press of the Western
states to investigate and actively sup
port these principles"
The governors re-affirmed the reso-
lutions they adopted at their Salt Lake
meeting in 1913. Governor Spry Of
Utah is the new president of the or
ganization and Governor Ernest Lister
of Washington is secretary.
The next meeting will be held in
Seattle in 1915 Most of the members
probably will attend the general gov
ernors' conference at Madison, Wis, in
June.
