TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY
STORIES.

And every story good one. They
are entertaining, but that is not all you
can say about them. You know there
is hardly periodical published that is
not full OF wasting stories, but not
a single story in The Youths Com
panion is a time wastsr. Take the
stories OF c. A. Stephens. II would be
hard to pick out one from which you
cannot learn something useful and yet
entertaining.
Some of The Companion stories re-
fresh your knowledge of geography;
some tell you the mysteries of chemis-
try, some reveal the secrets of forestry
and of general farming. They cover
wide range. They are chosen with an
eye to the possible likings of every
member of Companion family-stories
of vigorous action and stirring ad-
venture for boys, stories of college
life and domestic vicissitudes for girls,
stories that range all the way from
sheer drollery to deep seriousness for
men and women. There are no stories
quite like those in The Companion.
II you are not familiar with The Com
panion as it is to-day, let us send you
sample copies and the Forecast for 1916.
New subscribers who send $500 for
1916 will receive free a copy Of The

No man ever lived long enough to get
even with this big world Of ours.
1t sometimes happens that marriage
license furnishes a man with an excuse
for trying to drown his troubles.
It's safe bet that the man who bare
ly escapes being run over by an auto
mobile doesn't call the driver a
chauffeur.
Don't parade your troubles before the
unsympathetic world. Bury them as q
dog does old bones, and growl IT any
enc tries to dig them up.
After a man has looked thru the bot
tom of whiskey glass a few times it is
tifficult for him to keep his train oi
.nought on the right track.

QUEER VALUES IN SCHOOL LAND
LEASES SHOWN PROBERS
The soft school land leases held by
the Chicago Tribune and Daily News
will be brought to the notice of the
senate school investigation commit
tee if a member Of the Chicago Fed
Grafton of Labor gets on the stand
before the senators.
Edward NockIes to inform those
gentlemen of some facts has seen to
it that each of them has a printed
pamphlet with the school land lease
deal contained as passed on by the
federation'of labor.
The senators will find it hard to
dodge some of the facts contained in
the pamphlet. They deal with land
values and rentals paid on school
lands, which has a vital connection
with the board of education's income.
The school land lease facts are
those uncovered by an investigating
committee from the labor body.
These were printed None of the
trust papers published a word of this.
eve found that the Chicago Tri-
bune pays S45.58 per square foot per
year for it's lease, made without a re-
valuation clause, while the owners of
the Hartford building, on a less valu-
able piece of ground west, across the
street, pay $86.58 per square foot"
says the report. "The owners of the
old Inter Ocean building on the cor
ner diagonaIy across the street and
west pay $9O35 per square foot on
less ground and less valuable ground;
and the Boston Store across the
street to the north pays $91.35 per
square foot.

berry from the school fund.
cit was all planned by the Tribune
company; the Tribune company at
the time this lease was made had
upon the school board as one of it's
members its hired attorney, and this
attorney in the day time was the at
tOrney for the Tribune company,
drawing his pay for representing it Ing
court and in office, and in the night
time was a member of the school
board, making leases for the benefit
Of the Tribune company.
eve found that the Chicago Daily
News paid to the board of education
upon a lease drawn upon a revalua-
ton clause $16.67 per square foot,
while the LaSaIle hotel Immediately

A Herald representative spent
last Saturday afternoon at lilo and
took note of the happenstances in
that lively little burg for few hours
Every department of business repre-
scented there seemed to be bustling
and no one was complaining about
hard times, as is so often the case in
many towns at this time of the year
especially. Every place of business
visited seemed busy and very optim-
istic as regards trade and business
conditions the coming spring and
summer. In the evening the local
Odd Fellows entertained about fifty
of their brethren from Nezperce and
quite a sprinkling of others from
different towns. The skating rink
was also running in full blast and
the town appeared like unto young
Chicago.

The "Jitney'' Invasion

All that is required to be trans
rortation magnate now is to own a
Ford car. In nearly all of the large
and many of the small cities the
"jitney'' bus is cutting into the por-
fits of the street car companies
and making owners of autos rich.
When it was at first suggested that
owners of machines could make any
money carrying passengers for a
five cent fare it was thought to be
impossible. A few, wiser than the
rest, started "jitney" lines with
their machines. 1t has been demon
strated' in San Francisco that the
owner of a car can clear from six to
ten dollars a day by carrying pass
engers at the ssjitney" rate. In
most of the cities these buses follow
the routes of the regular street cars
and are making trips on regular
schedules. A s'jitney' by the way,
is nickle-hve cents.
There was poor fellow and he had
a wooden leg
He had no money and didn't want to
beg.
He got piece of pipe and twelve
inch board
And said to himself, I guess I'll
make Ford.
He bought pint of gas and about a
quart of oil
And found piece of wire long
enough to make coil.
BE found four spools and a FIVE gal
lon can
Nailed them all together and it ran
and it ran.

A perusal of the advertising pages
of the magazines and newspapers
shows that the revolution in the auto
mobile industry is going on at a
fairly rapid rate. Tires have been
cut almost in two in price during the
last year. Gasoline remains at so
low a figure that it is not counted a
serious item of expense. The COM
plete organization of the industry and
large quantity production have now
brought down the price of standard
cars until it can be safely said that
the point of stability is not far away.
Future economics and larger pro-
duction will bring these prices still
lower but the reduction will now be
gradual, and nothing sensational in
the price line need be expected for
some time to come.

WOVEN TABLE MATS POPULAR
For Use Under Hot Dishes Nothing
More Satisfactory Has Ever Been
Put on Market.

Nothing has ever been found more
satisfactory to put under hot dishes
than the old-fashioned woven table
mats, and of late there has been quite
a revival in their favor, especially as
it does not require any great amount
of ingenuity to learn how to manipu'
late the frames upon which they are
woven.
These frames come in box contain
ing several sizes, so that a set for
meat dishes and several sizes in vege.
table dishes may be made.
After being woven on the frame
crosswise the points where the
crossed threads pass each other are
caught and knotted with either white
or light-colored twist. In cutting the
finished mat off from the frame, a
fringed edge is formed and the mat
not only launders well, but literally
lasts forever The writer has a set
of these mats made quite ten years
ago by def old lady. These have
been in constant use, some of them
washed each week and they have
scarcely yet begun to show signs OF
wear.-EXchange

SAVING NEW YORK'S TREES
Planting Association of the Great
Metropolis Finds Itself Facing
Hard Problem.

Manhattan presents hard problem
for those who want to beautify the
metropolis with shade trees. 1t seems
that certain streets are not altogether
hopeless, according to the report of
the Tree Planting association of New
York, just out.
Such are Seventh avenue and LenOx
from One Hundred and Tenth street
up; Broadway north from Fifty-ninth
street. also West End avenue, West
One Hundred and Thirty-eighth, West
Seventy-ninth street, etc.
On all of these there are plantations
at present In spite of the fact that
some people have the idea that New
York has few shade trees there are
dozens of varieties of all shades and
styles and patterns, from aristocratic
shade trees to scraggy slum dwarfs.
Tree doctors and surgeons are very
necessary, and tree surgery has be-
come quite a definite science. Many a
fine old tree is saved by filling it's
tooth" as it were-that is, filling it's
hollow cavity with cement to prevent
further decay.
The committee of the association
has divided up New York into dis
tricts for special examination, and the
report on the different geographical
locations is exhaustive.
