United States Sympathetic.

Most people have forgotten it, if they ever knew, that our country sent message of sympathy and friend ship to San Marine twenty years ago when the Italian Government had de- signs on the tiny Republic. The mes sage was sent by the House of Repre- sentatives of the United States. It came about in the following manner, according to the records: "The au- tonomy of San Marine was guaranteed by treaty with Italy which among other things provided that the Re public should not coin money. On account of scarcity of Italian money San Marine made coinages of it's own, forgetful of the treaty. Italy seized upon this as a ground for absorbing the little land of liberty and Uncle Sam interfered."
 How Country Is Governed.
 The governing body of the Republic is called the General Assembly, This has sixty members, twenty of whom represent the nobility, twenty the land owners and twenty the ordinary citi- zens. These men are elected by popu- lar vote, a third of whom are renew dDlS every tuIScf ytdiSs anu lWO Ol whom are appointed every six months to act as Regents. The Regents exer- else executive power. A smaller Coun- Gil consists of twelve members and is divided into four Congresses. The Government maintains two Secretaries of State, one for foreign affairs and the other for the interior. The Re- public has no beggars as people who are poor are taken care of by the State. Medical attendance is free to those unable to pay, and there is an excellent hospital for such cases.
 z Education is compulsory and good schools are provided. All citizens able to bear arms are technically obliged to do so between the ages of sixteen ard sixty years. The capital city is enclosed in triple row of ramparts and three towers. The square clock tower, known as La Rocca, is the prison and from the summit on festival occasions floats the blue and white flag which bears the coat of arms of the Republic--three strong towers on three rocks; three curved flame gules issue from the towers. The escutcheon is surmounted by crown, indicating sovereign State, and is surrounded by two branches-one of oak and the oth- CT of laurel leaves fastened by ribbon upon which is the device LIBERTAS. the same as inscribed on the cross in the fourth century.

How the Government Is Utilizing Immense Areas of Arid Land and Deserts for the Planting
 of Forests of Valuable Woods.

hard money for that purpose, the youngest taxpayer will not live long enough to enjoy any profits. It re- quires a minimum of fifty years to grow trees that are ready for the axe and a hundred years is a safer period upon which to figure. Therefore it is not surprising that Congress has failed to provide large sums for tree planting. It requires a high degree of unselishness to spend money for the benefit of generation yet unborn.
 But this is being done to certain extent. For a decade has the work of determining the best methods of reforestation been going forward. Early methods were not always suc- cessful and many of these have been discarded in favor of newer experi- ments. Finally it has been determined that the most effective procedure in inducing trees to grow where they are greatly desired is to plant the seed in a nursery, grow the young plants there until they have developed some hardihood, then carefully set them out where they are to find their permanent homes.
 This, Of course, is more elaborate and expensive method than some of those that, in earlier stages of the ex- periments, were thought to be ad- visable. But the others have failed and this has been proven the econom- ical plan in the long run.
 Method Of Planting.
 When it was first proposed to re- forest barren areas it was believed that this might be accomplished by broad casting tree seed as the farmer sows his grain. This method was tried. The of tree seed went forth

~ HE barren sand hills of Ne M braska are being planted into
 pine forests that will be cut ~ by the great grandchildren of the present generation. The huge burns of the Black Hills where the fire demon has run riot are being set out in little trees as regularly spaced as well ordered orchard, that pos terity may have the timber with which to build it's houses. Silver tipped spruce, handsomest of trees, is being grown in the nurseries of the Rockies and planted among the snows of great attitudes where it alone will thrive that the stream flow of the future may be conserved
 Such are some of the objects and some of the tasks of the Forest Serv- ice in it's program of reforestation which is being steadily pushed The planting of the present season has just been completed and there are 16,000 acres of model forests of the future in course of development as result. This is not a large acreage when it is known that there are 3,000,000 acres in national forests that are practically unproductive and crying out to be set down in trees. It is, however, a piece of good work well done and one that will prove a demonstration of possi- bilities.
 Planting For The Future.
 Congress is now providing certain amounts of money each year for the planting of trees in barren areas of the national forest. It realizes that these lands which the nation owns are lying unproductive while they might be growing timber. This assuredly is a waste. If timber is planted; how ever, if the people of the present spend

" U HEN it was announced a few months ago that the Repub- lie of San Marine had defied :" the German Emperor by re- fusing to comply with his demand that the wireless station at Monte Titano, which is in direct communication with the Eiffel Tower at Paris, be demol- ished, most persons were puzzled.

and saddlery stock to the O. B. Frank

was used in the pioneer days of Dick

Tilton. Later the place was occupied
by J. r. Clark as a harness shop, so
Mr.. Zimmerman's is not the first
harness stock carried in this store.
However, the building has been en-

 Taft.

Morristown, N. J.-The United States is threatened with a serious in- vasion of it's rights, as a neutral, by the warning nations of Europe, and ill preserving it's commerce with those nations is face to face with crisis, in the opinion of former President William H. Taft. In the solution Of that crisis, should 1t arise, no jlngo spirit must be allowed to prevail, MT. Taft advised, neither pride nor mo- mentary passion should influence our judgment
 And when the president shall act, v MT Taft declared, We must stand by him to the end. In this determina- tion we may be sure that all will join, no matter what their previous views, no matter what their European origin. All will forget their differences in self-sacrifiicing loyalty to our common flag and our common country"
 MT. Taft's reference to the situation confronting the United States was made at the conclusion of an address delivered here before the Washington Association of New Jersey.
