the branches are allowed to become

the trunk and main limbs are sound

CRASHING At THE SHADOW

No man-especially il he is mar
ried-would deny woman any right
she demands. Take the earth and
give us peace. but why does woman
long for the ballot?
When all is said and done, is not
the selection of the butcher more i'm
portant to the home than the election
of mayor; is not the employment of
the dairyman a far more important
event in the life of the children than
the appointment of a postmaster; is
not the selection of books for the
family library more important than
voting bonds for jail and court house?
Why does woman lay aside the i'm
portant things in life? Why leave the
substance and grasp at the shadow?
Be it said to the credit of woman
hood that 1t is not, as a rule. the
woman who rocks the cradle that
wants to cast the ballot; 1t is not
the mother who teaches her children
to say Now l lay me down to sleep"

the daughter who hopes TO reign as
queen over a happy home that longs
for the uniform of the suffragette. II
Is, as rule. the woman who despises
her home. neglects her children and
scorns motherhood that leads parades
and smashes windows.

UNIVERSAL PEACE

This nation is now in the midst of
a controversy as to how best to pro-
mote universal peace. That question
we will leave for diplomats to dis
cuss, but peace within nations is no
less important than peace between
nations and it is heavily laden with
prosperity for every citizen within
our commonwealth.
Many leading politicians and ofttimes
political platforms have declared war
upon business and no cabinet crisis
ever resulted. Many men have stood
in high places and hurled 'gas bombs"
at industry: thrust bayonets into bus
mess enterprises and bombarded ag-
riculture with Indifference. Party
leaders have many times broken dip
lomatic relations with industry; sent
political aviators spying through the
affairs of business, and political sub
marines have sent torpedoes crushing
into the destiny of commerce. Dur
ing the past quarter of a century we
have fought many a duel with prog
ress, permitted many politicians to
carry on a guerrilla warfare against
civilization and point a pistol at the
heart of honest enterprise.
No man should be permitted to cry
out for universal peace until his rec
ord has been searched for explosives,
for no vessel armed or laden with
munitions of war should be given a
clearance to sail for the port of Uni
versal Peace. Let us by all means
have peace, but peace, like charity,
should begin at home.

management in every respect, their
life of commercial usefulness is gen.
orally from about eight to nearly
twenty years after the full-bearing age

widely under different conditions. In
some sections it is rarely profitable
to continue them after they reach the
age of twelve to fifteen years; in
others they are expected to last until
they are from fifteen to eighteen or
twenty years old, while occasionally
an orchard from twenty to twenty-five
