TREEs FOR COUNTRY HIGHWAYS,

IF the newy-eected county commissioners wish to add
to their glory, they will naugurate campaign to plant
trees along every highway in this county Germany does
it; other countries do the same and there is
why Oklahoma should facr in this movement to bcaufy
the country highways.
Suppose the property of Oklahoma City never
had planted tree in front of their property what kind Of
in civic beauty is powerful nvitaono the county
commissioners take active part in general beautiii-
cation scheme which will Oklahoma county TO be
talked about all the land
Soon VIC are to have good roads in this section which
will result in tourists coming through this part Of the
roads Oklahoma will be in position to add pleasure the
tourists trip Also will obtain lot of beneficial ad-
vertisng throughout the land
In many parts OF Oklahoma farmers already have taken
up this matter in earnest Fine rows of aged trees arc
10 be in front OF their farms aeStng the foresight
and the artistic ideas of the OF such country places
But there arc many stretches of road which are barren
OF any kind of trees.
If our county commissioners will formulate plan that
will stimulate the planting of trees along every public
highway they'll get lot OF support from the people who
live in the cities And the commissioners will make a
record which should be gratifying them in the days 10
when they ride in their along hard surfaced
roads which are lined with fine ems and stately oaks II
will give them thrill to be able to say; II caused thou
sands OF these he planted and I'm proud OF my
work"

SUPPORTING THE LIVESTOCK INDUSTRY

A BANK at 1ishomngo has Just furnished the money
to twenty-five boys who wish to engage in the raising
OF hogs. This is not innovation since financial ins
utons of Oklahoma City and other sections of the state
have supplied funds to youngsters who had energy and
skill in directing herds. The is oommendabe
and enriched communities.
The demand for meat is of such magnitude that no
mistake be made in raising cattle and hogs There
little chance of depression in prices regardless Of
conditions at home abroad And it will he found tha, the
farmers OF this state who have devoted their time \a
ing livestock have prospcred while those who held the
erainorop idea without livestock have had struggles 20
make both ends meet
Driving the crop to market on four legs In Oklahoma
that double price for the crop is obtained And
the boys finding this little bit faster than some
of the adult farmers, These little fellows who are raising
hogs with small amount OF money borrowed at the bank
the ones who will great livestock ranches when
they reach mature years.

ONE REASON FOR HIGH PRICES.

ESTIMATES jist announced by the census bureau Chow
that the city population continues to gain at the ex'
pense of rural communities In other words the
increasing in numbers and the producers showing
decrease in number
Suppose that people should continue to from the
country to the city until three fouhs of the population
of the United States live in houses and fourth
remains the farms' What kind Of food prices could VIC
expect
But there seems to be silver lining to the clouds Good
roads and automobiles tempting people away from
the cities and back TO fertile farms, where they will pro-
ducc grain and livestock and poultry and eggs.
This shifting of the population back to the farm along
side of the hardsuraced road which the farmer
drive his car promises to solve the food question. Ye
the solution cannot come in day But when the census
is taken in 1920 there he every promise Of a
change in the economic situation, which is per-
picking to the with limited income. And the small
wage Garner is the who is prof, by becoming h

A TOUCH OF REAL PHILANTHROPY.

TN an address made few days ago in New York
Charles NJ Schwab, head of Of the greatest man
ufacturing institutions in the world expressed real
phlanthropc ideas, including this:
"To make money is good thing; but il is far better
thing he able opportunities for other TO
work out their own salvation in life with happiness and
contcntment"
Nearly everyone who reads these lines of Mr. Schwab
will likely be able to recall where his suggestion
applied is epgram worth remembering by every man
who directs large armies OF workmen If followed out by
employers of labor it would aid largely in solving the
so-called differences between capital and labor

Exercises Held by Grammar School Friday-Advantases of Power Plant at Packer,

The various rooms of the P1ainfield grammar school had Christmas exer- cises Friday morning. The following program was carried out in room VI, Miss Helen K. Moran teacher: Song, Hark, the Herald Angels Sing, class; song, Christmas Carol, class; Dickens Christmas Carol was presented with the following pupils taking part: Scene I, Scrooge's counting office; Scrooge, Emile Arsenault; Fred, Frank Har- greaves; Gentleman, Alfred Taylor; Clerk, Elton Nolan Scene II, A re- mas at the Sea, class; Holy Night, class.
 Santa Claus, impersonated by Paul Peltier, distributed Christmas pres entS.
 Rooms ' and s, Misses Agnes D. Halljhan and Ruth V. Maddock teach CTS, Christmas songs were sung by the class and Miss Alice Ainsworth gave a vocal solo. Miss Edna Larrochelle was heard on the violin. The speakers were Victoria Kagan, Paul Peltier, William Alexander, Celia Jarvis, Dor Runge, Blanche Starkweather, Blanche Poirier and Fernand Lafreniere.
 Spur Track from PIainfieId Advocated
 In connection with the proposed de- velopment of the Packer Manufactur- ing company's power plant at Canter- bury bridge, railroad officials are of the opinion that a spur track can be run from Plainfeld over to the works much more easily than from Packer ville.. The only advantage Packerville has is that the company owns most of the land from the railroad tracks to their power rights on the river and owns all the land on both sides of the river. Danielson parties are now said to be interested in the sale of the plant, the only question as far as can be learned being the easiest way to reach them by mail in case of a large mill being built.
 Possible Power Plant.
 The stone mill at Packer is now be- ing considered by Plainfeld firm, 1t is reported, as a site for an electric power plant. There are 12 tenement houses, a store building and a well fitted grist mill best the stone mill, all ready for imm- ,.-ate use. The water power is on d neverfailing stream only one and a quarter miles from the Lawton Mills company's plant.
 Ten carloads of mill machinery have passed through here from Packerville, bound for North Oxford, Mass. The machinery was that of the Cutler mills.
 H. A. Robbins of New York city was a caller here yesterday.
 Mrs. Robert Flowers spent yester- day with Mrs. Lillibridge at Packer.
