WE SHOULD GUARD
 OUR PREJupIcEs


 The chief care of the people at present when talking about the great war ought to be to say nothing which might possibly be hurtful to any side. Carelessness in expression about the conflict can be noticed often where ever men are gathered together Peo- pie get SO internally preiudiced in favor of one side or another that they come to the conclusion that ev- erytbing they can say unfavorable to that side must be the gospel truth. The result is that they come out with some remark which appears to a man whose preiudices are the opposite as something positively idiotic. Our pre- iudices play queer tricks with all of us Steward Gateway)

Connie Mack's young pitchers are pretty sure to show improvement as the season progresses. Wyckoff and Pennock, for instance, ought to pitch winning ball, and this is also true of Shawkey and Bush.

TREES FOR HOME GROUNDS
Small Varieties Add Greatly to the

Also to Its Value.

In planting ornamental trees about
the home, we naturally consider their
utility in providing shade. There are
however, a number Of beautiful trees
small in size, that occupy an interme-
date place between shrubs and shade
trees. Their beauty gives them a
place of honor, but they should not be
placed where their growth will inter.
fere with other plants as they grow
larger.
The white fringe, or fringe tree, Chi
onanthus Virginica, is a native OF the
United States, forming large shrub
rather than a small tree, as it is round
ed and bushy. 1t has large glossy
leaves three to five inches long, dark
green, that are handsome through the
season. In May or June it bears an
abundance Of white flowers, in droop.
