Happiness

Money Will not procure happiness.
but happiness will help procure mon
ey. Happiness makes every task a
pleasure and every worker optimistic,
and an optimistic worker at pleasant
task can perform it IN no way but we'll.
Happiness is not only its own reward,
but it is an irresistible magnet which
is forever drawing unexpected re-
wards. And happiness can know no
evil; evil happiness is a contradiction
OF terms. Happiness is a religion in
itself. He who has happiness has
jumped just over the very goal of life.

CORK TREES OF SPAIN.
How They Are Stripped Of Their Bark
at Ten Year Intervals.

at Ten Year Intervals.
An important industry in Spain Is
the cultivation of cork trees. This tree
is an oak which grows best in the poor
est soil. 1t cannot endure frost and
must have sea air and also some alti-
tude. 1t is found all along the coast Of
Spain, the northern coast of Africa and
the northern shores Of the Mediterra-
mean.
There are two banks. the outer of
which is stripped for use. The cork is
valuable according as it. is soft and
velvety. When the sapling has reach
ed the age of ten years it is stripped Of
its outer bark for two feet from the
ground. The tree will then be about
five inches in diameter and about six
feet up to the branches. This stripping
Is worthless. The inner bark appears
blood red, and II it is split or injured
the tree dies.
When eight or ten years more have
elapsed the outer bark has again grown,
and then the tree is stripped four feet
from the roots. This stripping Is very
coarse and Is used to make floats for
fish nets. Every ten years thereafter
the bark Is stripped, each year two, feet
higher up, until the tree Is forty OF
fifty years old. when it Is In its prime,
and may then be stripped every ten
years from the ground to the branches.

AT His Desk, as Judge in the Canal Zone.

We do not believe the community
could have sustained a greater shock
than in the report, a week ago, that
Edgar S. Garrison, former citizen OF
Denison, had died in far away Pana-
ma on the 18th of July.
Mr., Garrison was born Jan. 10, 1873,
at Clarence, Iowa, and passed away
July Is, 1915, at Horconcitos, Province
OF Chiriqui, Republic of Panama, hav-
ing lived forty-two years, six months
and five days. He came with his par
ents to Denison, Iowa, when he was
seven years of age, where he continued
in the public schools until he left to
enter the university of Notre Dame,
where The remained two years, leaving
there to enter the State University OF
Iowa, from which institution he grad
uated with the law class of 1895. In
1884 he was married to Miss Edith
Clauser, of this city, to whom were
born two sons, Raymond and Francis
Garrison, now living at Council
Bluffs, Iowa. After his graduation
he entered the law Office OF his father
L. J. Garrison. at Denison, where he
remained until he formed a partner
ship with Hon. J. S. Dewell, a promi,
Inent lawyer of Missouri Valley. the
firm being Dewell & Garrison. This
partnership continued until he left
Missouri Valley Jan. l, 1897, for Lo-
gan, Iowa, to take the Office of clerk
OF the district court of Harrison coun-
ty, to which Office he had been elected
at the preceding election. He filled
tn Office of clerk of the court for his
first term. when he was successfully
reelected to his second and third
terms, each by an ever increasing
vote. Soon after his third term as
clerk of the court expired he answered
the call for men to go to the canal
zone in Panama. entering the office
OF the prosecuting attorney, where nc
remained until later he was appointed
district Judge in the canal zone. That
he filled every requirement and that
his work, service and ability were
fully appreciated cannot be better
shown than by the following letter
written April 10, 1908, by Hon j. G. S
Blackburn, then governor OF the canal
zone. This letter was written by

at her home in town after very brief
illness. Last week on Monday her
husband ppssed away and since his

has been failing for several years and
the death of her husband, together
with old age, apparently fastened the
shortening of her days. She was

until about the year 1865, when she
came to this country, where. after a
short residence at Swede Bend, Iowa,
she came 20 this settlement, where she
has since resided, having lived in this
settlement some forty years. Her
first husband, Johan Peterson. died

Born January 10, 1873. Died july IS,

eral days. Here, surrounded by Pan
amanians and Spaniards, he lived un-
til his death. That he took his life i'll
his hands many times every day he
lived there was known to all but him.
But the question of fear or danger
never seemed to enter his mind and
any suggestion of the dangers which
surrounded him were lightly passed
by His letters to his parents, writ.
ten as late as the middle of June,
have nothing but praise for the life
he was leading and say that nothing
could tempt him to sell his ranch and
leave that country. In fact he had
arranged for his son. Francis, to come
to him and but for his untimely death
his son would soon have been on the
road to join his father.
While Judge Garrson's knowledge
of the law was most intuitive, his
nature seemed to rebel against being
confined in an Office or court room and
the bubbles, delays and vexations of
court work were things he could not
and would not endure. He found his
pleasures under no covering but the
bite canopy of heaven At the time
he first went for the government on
the canal zone he was taking his life
in his hands as yellow fever and many
other dangerous diseases ran riot. as
the thousands of deaths of American
boys will testify, but he lived to sec
the canal zone become more healthful
than most parts of the United States.
He received several medals from the
government for being among those
who had risked their lives to go down
there at d time when going meant
death.
The full details of his death have
not been reported. the message which
came simply stating that he had died
and that full particulars of his death
would be reported by letter. His par
ents and friends are naturally in sus-
pense. awaiting fuller details and this
suspense can only by ended by the
promised report which. on account of
the Inadequate mail facilities. will
reach here not earlier than the latter
part of this week in all probability
Edgar had large circle of friends
here who greatly deplore his death
and deeply sympathize with his par
ents and family in their sad bereave
ment. "a.

Judge Garrison held the office OF
district judge for over six years and
until in April, 1914, when he resigned
the Office to look up u location for
himself. After months spent in trav.
cling through Venezuela, an account
of his trip having been published in
part in the Review, he finally bought
half interest in cattle ranch at
Horconcitos. Province OF ChiriQui, Re-
public of Panama, of which he took
sole charge. Here he seemed to have
been in his element and the open. out
door life appealed to him, and from
that time to his death he seemed to
enjoy the rough. rugged, dangerous
life, and all his letters were enthusi
astic of the country, his cattle and his
horses. He had large number OF
men under him, none OF whom could
speak English. and for large part
Of the time he was the only man who
could speak English in making the
round of the ranch which lasted sew
