Plant Trees Now.

FL Paso should be made city of trees. We don't
know how much we value tree until begin TO lose
some that we have Hundreds of people passing the
courthouse yard who seldom, if ever, commented upon
the beauty of the trees that have for years filled the
space about the present courthouse have recently been
destroyed Since they have gone their absence IS noted
In this trees are pretty much like humanS-her value
is often not appreciated to the full extent until they
have gone.
Perhaps the destruction of the courthouse trees will
be good after ALL for their loss has drawn attention
to the value of trees; the result will be to create
greater appreciation of trees future People going
to want to plant them
This calls to mind that now is good time to put out
trees They appear to do better if set out and left
during the winter than out early in the spring
An Fl Pasoan who has had considerable to DO with
tree planting put out II black locusts year ago
Just about this tme-and every of them spTouted
and grew this year In the past he had done his tree
planting in the spring and had always lost some OF
the trees; never before did all grow that he had put
out
Those he put out last year put out in December
given water once in awhe-just enodgh to keep the
ground from drying out-and received other treat
ment. They were among the first trees to bud and
put out leaves last spring and all got such good hold
ingly well and grew rapidly throughout the heated
period attaining greater growth than the owner had
ever secured in similar from trees set out in the
spring.
Too much water during the winter would not be
good for them but the and the winter rains and
an occasional light irrigation with the hose appear to
have kept them in just the right condition
Try It this year; if any of the trees don't bud in
the spring. there is still time to put out others This
was the idea in view when the FL Pasoan referred to,
put his trees out last December but he not forced

Preserving Arizona Relics.

Arizona is neglecting one of It's most important
assets in not cspitalzng and preserving as they de-
to be preserved the historic relics within that
state.
Arizona ike its sister state Of New Mexico, abOunds
in historic localities and places that should be pre-
served. Many Of its ancient missions are going into
decay and dust heaps for lack Of preservation, while
California with missions not old, IS drawing thou
sands Of tourists each year look upon them Arizona,
its famous Casa Grande ruins has Of the wonders
of the continent The United States government has
done work towards preserving this historic relic,
but the state has nothing; the state has not
done its duty towards urging the federal government

New Mexico, the other hand is in the foremost
ranks Of the world in the matter Of preserving and ad

It ranks with the schools of archaeology IN Rome and

half of them visited Santa Fe purely for the Of

1t is patriotic and a sound business sense that
has led New Mexico to take the interest that it has

do as muck. few interested in the preservation

The next legislature should DO something that would

So Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy trotted
along to visit her sister, Mrs. Wafer
Rat. intending to be gone all day. And,
when she had been gone half the morn
ing, Uncle Wiggiiy suddenly laughed to
himself, clspped his paws together, and
cried out.
That's the idea, I'll do it and sur
prise Nurse Jane Let me find the cook
book. and I'll bake a molasses cake all
by myself I'm sure can do it.''
Now. once or twice before. Uncle
WigEily had tried TO make 2 cake or
pie and he had not doneSit very well.
once he put the hickory nut shells in

again be made a jack O. lantern out OF

molasses cake, or At least try
Very well but let US see what hap
pens. my children, as they say in story
books
Uncle Wiggily found the cook book
and read from it how to make a molas-
ses cake forget all IL told him to put
IN, bat I know there was sugar and
flour and water and cinnamon and
let me see, I'm forgetting something.
Oh, Of course- Molasses. to be sure.
Certainly YOU have to put molasses in
molssses cake. though they don't put
cottages in cottage Pudding, as far as
] know.
Anyhow. Uncle Wiggily got together
all the things the cook book told him
he needed, and, putting on one Of Nurse
James aprons. he began TO work in the
kitchen Of the hollow stump bungalow.
Now. I must get this cake just
right" said Uncle Wiggiiy, .or Nurse
Jane viii laugh at me for trying to
make it I'll keep looking in the book
every once in 2 while and then I'm
sure TO be right"
Holding the book in one paw, Uncle
Wiggily used his other paw to mix the
stuff together for the cake.
let me see. now" said the rabbit
gentleman, ct says to pour in two cups
n molasses- Well, I'll do that"
He held the jug over q cup to meas
are out the molasses. and. at the same
time he kept his eyes on the page Of
the cook book so he would not make a
mistake And. the first thing Uncle
Wiggily knew, something had hap
pened. lie felt q funny feeling down
around his legs, and there he had gone
and poured the molasses AL over the

floor and himself, instead Of in the tea
cup.
'oh. dear" cried the rabbit gentle
man. That comes OF trying to pour
out the sticky stuff when I was looking
at the book i didn't watch what
was doing ! should have kept my eye
on the molasses- Oh, deari Oh, dear"
And well might he say so, for he
was all stuck up His feet were so
stuck to the floor by the molasses that
Uncle Wiggily could hardly raise them
up to walk.
Ny NY" cried the rabbit uncle
must get some warm water, and
clean up this mess, or Nurse Jane will
have conniption fit when she gets
back"
He started to walk across the kitch-
en-. but he could hardly move. for il
was cold weather you know. and mo-
lasses is more sticky then than at any
other time Of the year And then, all
at once came a knock on the door.
oh, II that should be Nurse Janew
thought Uncle Wiggily.
"Rat-a-tat-tatr' went the knock. And
then q voice cried: Please hurry and
open the door. Uncle Wiggily, for 1
am cold out here Mother has sent
you over some molasses cake"
Who are you?" asked Uncle Wig
gily.
Jennie Chipmunk." was the answer.
Please hurry
I'm hurrying as fast as I can" I'm
Gle Wiggily said It's the molasses
that makes me so slow"
Finally he opened the door, and OH
how Jennie Chipmunk laughed when
she saw the bungalow kitchen all so
molassesly stuck up. But Jennie was
real kind little chipmunk and she
got warm water and helped wash IN
the floor, while Uncle Wiggily himself
putting on rubbers so he would not
track the molasses all over, took a bath
in a tub.
'T guess I won't try to make any
molasses cake" he said to Jennie, when
he was all nice and dry again. I'll
eat the one your mother sent"
Perhaps that would be best" agreed
the little girl animal. with stripes down
her back. Then Uncle Wiggily gave
her lollypop. and Jennie ran home.
And when Nurse Jane came back Uncle
WigEily told her all that had happened.
And Nurse Jane laughed.
So this teaches US that old rabbit
gentleman should never try TO. make
molasses cake with a cook book in one

Build the Auditorium.

There is not doubt as to whether the people want
the auditorium in the county courthouse not.
If commissioners waiting find out what the
people think about it, they need wait longer.
There is a need for such an auditorium and the
people It; the way get it is to build it now,
in the courthouse, and let everybody pay for It.
FL Paso must have place N which to entertain
conventions if it wishes to be convention city. Fl
Paso also needs place for local meetings. There IS
place in the city large enough for many local gather
ings Of any size.
Local capital cannot build such institution, be-
cause it would pay and It is not fair 10 ask the
business men to erect it, for the whole city benefits
from conventions; the only equitable way to erect it
is by taxation. Denver's municipal auditorium was
erected that way; so San Fraucscos Many cities
in the country hare erected auditonums.
While the courthouse IS being erected IS the time to
build Fl Paso's There is to erect 1t and the
work can be done cheaply as now The Herald
has sought interviews with leading citizens this sub
ject many of which have been published, and they
have all agreed that the auditorium needed and should
