PLANT AT LEAST ONE TREE

Farm and Fireside, the farm paper
published in Springfield Ohio. advises
all that can 10 plant at least one tree
this fall. Following is the sugges-
ton
Twenty dollars would plant
and care for at least i've elm trees
for a 1G-vear period. 1T is a moderate
estimate to say that, at the end Of the
second year a building lot would be
worth a hundred dollars more for
their presence. at the end Of 25 years
no man who owned the land on which
they stood would take hundred dol
lars apiece for them. Plant an elm or
a maple near your home this fail. and

The federal law under which today
the Tribune publishes It's statement
Of circulation and ownership was en-
acted with TWO ends in view.
Il was a part oE the very general
campaign TO bring about better meth
DDS Of business, to protect the con
sumer and the honest competitor In
this case the consumer was the adver-
tser and the purpose Of the law was
to compel an honest disclosure Of the
publicity for which he was asked to
pay BY requiring a sworn statement
Of copies bona f7de sold, the law was
supposed also 70 do justice to such
publications as were willing to sell
their space Oh the basis Of the truth
against those who lied about their
circulation and thus sold what they
did not possess.
The second object Of the law was
still broader in its scope. 1t was the
protection Of the public from secret
influences. The proponents of the
measure believed that if the owners OF
of newspapers were required to dis
close themselves their readers would
be able to Judge whether or not the
news and editorial matter were be-
ing colored or distorted deliberately
to serve the interests Of the owners

publicity law are important and high

 ENGLAND'S GREAT WAR

LONDON, Sept. 3O.-"The women of England by their efforts can fin ance this war and it would be good if they would band themselves together and sign an economy pledge"

 "No person should build house to reside in himself.
 Any presents given should be war loan vouchers or bonds.
 Entertaining at restaurants should be entirely abandoned.
 Changes of fashion in clothes should be ignored or suppressed.
 Funerals should be conducted al ways with rigid economy.
 Every possible servant should be given up.
 No motor cars should be used ex- cept for charitable or official purposes.
 All treating" should be abandoned until we can toast final and com plete victory.

Valuable Discovery in

Because of its peculiar power Of

colized wax is perhaps the most val

way is to use before retiring, allow

Penny club members expressed sur

they had attended the meeting upon

supervise the municipal Christmas

that the mayor had invited Secretary
Melpolder to attend the meeting.
