If a quarter Of the money and work
that our people expend every year in
planting shrubs and trees with fancy
names that they buy from pedlers and get
by express from long distances away
were only put onto the planting of our
ordinary trees, such as the maple, birch,
elm. fir. spruce, pine and cedar. we should
have very many more trees than we have
now. far more evergreens and protection,
especially in winter and be very much
better off in money and satisfaction be-
sides, says the FIT Fairfield Review. and
continues: Plant our native trees and
shrubs. Give the peddler with the fancy
pictures the go-by as rule unless you
really know of something that he has that
you want and that will do we'll under the
care and opportunity you can give it.
This is the soundest advice.

Grew, charge sffaires of the Unit ed States embassy here from the time of the first reports of the intention of the German administration to ap- ply compulsion to unwilling workers in the occupied districts.
 MT. Grew has been collecting in- formation on the subject from various sources, and recently has taken occas- ion to discuss the matter informally and unofficiallv with the higher Ger man officials to get material in shape for conference, which he proposes soon to have with Dr. von Bethmann- Hollweg. the imperial chancellor.

The value of lands in that section near the Santa Fe rail- way are worth from $50 to s150 an acre, he stated. and testified that 1t would be safe to loan 30 per cent of valuation.
 w. J. Murphy, Of Phoenix. offered Phoenix as a location for the farm loan bank of this district. Secretary McAdoo suggested that MT. Murphy present briefs with the federal farm loan board at Washington before December 10th, where the matter will receive proper consideration. il was assured.
 L. c. Snoih, of Graham county testified that there are 25.000 acres under cultivation in Gila valley. but that with the proper financial back ing the acreage could be doubled.
