Harvard Abroretum

From the Ona Ia World Herald
1t is said that the Arnold Arboretum
connected with Harvard University. is
one of the most valuable assets OF this
country. 1t was established in 1872 and
is very modestly endowed The man.
ager OF the Kew Gardens, in London,
says that its esta bllshment has proved
to be the most important single event
that has occurred during the last half
century affecting the interests of per-
sons concerned with the growth and
study of the woody vegetation Of tenn
perate chimes, either in Europe or else
where"
II appears that this arboretum has
been more highly appreciated abroad
than at home, although Of late years it
has very much Increased the knowledge
OF trees in this country. 1t has brought
to the notice of all who are improving
estates the really valuable trees and
shrubs of all the northern temperate
zone. Agents have sent to Siberia,
Japan and China, and shrubs and trees
have been brought from those coun-
tries, cultivated at the arboretum and
afterward distributed over the whole
United States. Some of them are to be
found in Omaha
II is to this arboretum that nursery
men. landscape gardeners, park man
ayers and the improvers of great es-
tates go for light and instruction on
difficult problems, and they go there
from every state in the union. There
they find great living dictionary. a
vast encyclopedia, perfectly readable
and legible in all it's terms.

Enlisting Motor Cyclists.

From the Philadelphia Bulietia.
One Of the most practical suggestions
in the many plans for developing auxil-
ia ries to the regular forces of land de-
Tense is the plan approved by Maj. Gen.
Organ of the New York National
Guard for the organization of a detach-
ment of motor cyclists to participate
in the mobilization of state troops At
Van Cortlandt Park the latter part of
this month. The early response indi-
Gates the temporary enlistment of at
Least 500 men and their machines.
The possibilities of the motor cycle in
the modern army movements are great.
just as the motor car has proved a won
der in the movement of artillery, sup
plies and even troops. 1t meets the need
of mounted orderlies for STATS. of ma :
chine gun companies, of transportation
of ammunition and of the hospital
service. 1t can serve for a scouting
squad or as flying light artillery.
The gasoline engine has only demon =
strated a suggestion of its possible
value in the European war. and the
motor cycle is by no means the least
potential of its many forms OF service
ability.

Cheerfulness.

From Toe St Joseph Gazette
That II pays to be cheerful can be
testified 10 by San Francisco nurse,
who awoke the other morning to And
herself the recipient of a bequest of
$4,000 from one whom she had once
nursed through a fve-week illness In
making the bequest the donor said: II
make this bequest because she was al
ways so cheerful in spite of everything !:
] never saw her display impatience nor
bad temper" In commenting upon her
good fortune the nurse declared that
she had only done her duty toward the
donor, and that her cheerfulness had
been Its own reward
This is the experience of all who
practice cheerfulness. Those who are
gloomy and sad suffer because thereof,
suffer In health as well as in enjoy
ment. Scientists tell US that there is
no condition so detrimental to bodily
health as the habit of being gloomy
and despondent, and that cheerfulness
contributes always to physical well be :
ing. In the case OF the San Francisco
nurse there was double payment for
the habit Of cheerfufhess All of us
may be once paid. and that payment in

How the Seeds Travel.


Some seeds make Journeys with

that the bill, the fruit of many months

The literacy test comes before Con-

been repeatedly vetoed by different

of the administration. which is much

Meantime the other ports of the
south are not idle. From Savannah is
operating a line of four ships owned
by Savannah capital and trading di-

a great cotton and naval stores port

these commodities. Nevertheless. this

of canned goods. and doubtless other
manufactures will follow.

National Security Plans.

From the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
1t is the natural obligation of every
man to keep himself in good condition
physically and mentally. The same OBJ
legation rests militarily upon the ma
ton as a collection of men. This is
the foundation of the service under
taken by the National Security League
to have the country get ready and
keep ready. in a reasonable and eff
cient way, for the always possible and
sometimes very probable contingencies
of war.
OF course. the United States does no,
want war. and it is not likely ever to
voluntarily make war without cause
but this is no reason why its military
precautions with regard to war should
not be such as to guarantee ii a salts
factory condition of preparedness AT
the beginning of a conflict and a COM
plete victory at the end.
