PUBLIC SPIRIT IS
ALIVE FOR ROADS
Forces Organized Like Army Of
Children Of Isreal, With Cap
tains and COmmissary for June 8

The thoroughness with which the
com mittees are organizing for Good
Roads Day in Lemhi county, Thurs
day, June s, would do credit to the
military genius such as was displayed
by Moses and Joshua in their cam
paiRns for the children of lsreal.
General, Chairman W. H O'Brien and
the other generals associated with
him have selected captains to have
charge over tens and fifties and these
are organizing all down the line,
with assigned duties in special sec
ttions of road to look after and re-
pair. General O'Brien expects from
Salmon alone no less than 300 men
and teams. 1t is the best sort of
patriotic work in which the volun-
teers are enlisting.
At the directors room Of the Pio-
neer bank on Saturday last the spec
ial Good Roads committee net in
Joint session with the general COM
mittee named by the county, and at
that meeting selected captains for the
several sections of roads in this vicin-
ty that are to be given attention by
the citizens of Salmon; the captains
and localities being as follows
City Limits towards Warmers
Captain Allen G. Merritt.

His Ferocious PaeIfism.

81 have before me-" said Professor
Pate, "the statement of the antipre-
paredness literary bureau that Thomas
Carlyle was pacifist. Indeed, he
was! At one time worshiping Amer
lean ventured to call on him. The
genius had filed up on II cups of tea
and was sitting bumped over before
the fireplace, wrapped in a shawl and
an S-inch crouch. and paid no atten-
tion to the visitor. Finally the caller
uttered a timid 'Ah-h'm!'
Silence, you blockhead!' thun-
dered Carlyle.
"Bub-but,' stammered the intruder,
II am not saying anything
NO. but you are interrupting my
silence. Get out!'
That is the sort of pacifist Thomas
Carlyle was."-Kansas City Star

until they meet the one that touches
the right chord in the heart. If a
handsome face goes with his youth,
nine times out of ten he is so much
in love with himself that he would
rather be free lance, counting many,
but evading matrimony. The man
who is plain of face, too engrossed in
business matters to think of girls un-
til he suddenly encounters the right
one, bends all his energies to the win
ming of her. He has no other loves,
no other irons in the fire. He feels If
he misses her life will hold nothing
for him, so little does he know of
feminine hearts the wide world over.
Truth be known, women are more
prone to encourage the suit Of the
man who is neither young nor hand
some. Bless his heart, he does not
know or feel that he stands at the
very head of matrimonial prizes. The
woman who wins him for husband
is the envy of majority of her SIS
tiers. They know she has won man
who will appreciate and adore her.
No heart pangs are apt to be hers in
the line of jealousy. She can trust
him. He Is always grateful to her for
having married him. He is sure a
girl Of her beauty could have wed a
handsomer man.
He will do everything in his power
to make their married life one grand
sweet song. He will have no wish to
deck himself out in fine clothes His
aim will be to spend every cent he
can afford to enhance her beauty with
every furbelow so dear to a woman's
heart. Her will is, in almost every
case, his law. She can coax and
wheedle him into doing whatever she
pleases. A sigh from her lips would
worry him more than any amount of
reproaches which the wife of hand
some man could fling at her spouse.
All in all, the man who is neither
young nor handsome is sure to get the
very best out of life and love home
and happiness. He excites little envy.
Men are not afraid of him and invite
him to their homes, knowing that he
will neither make love to their wives
or try to run away with them. He
does not know how we'll of he is, how
high he stands in the estimation of
the world of women and men. He
should take heart. What he considers
his defects are in reality his winning
cards.

The Habit Of Being Happy.

Keeping oneself reasonably happy is
a duty that ought not to be shirked.
Science is telling us these days that
to get out of the habit of enjoyment
is to get depressed in vitality and
vigor, to weaken in efficiency, and to
grow old before ones time. There is
nothing like laughter-not empty
headed laughter, but the intelligent,
wholesome, kindly-hearted kind-to
keep people young and fresh and fit
for business and the obligations of liv-
ing. OF course this is prescription
not easy to live up to always, but
there is no reasonable excuse for not
trying to do it, Sometimes it is just
about as easy to be happy as to be
miserable if one makes UP his mind to
it, and there is no doubt at all as tc
which pays the best Onward.

under these conditions would be Joy
GUS and hopeful; no more heartaches.
There would be something to look for.
ward to; something to fix up their
pretty clothes for--the expectancy OF
meeting new, nice people and that
which is sweetest of all to the youth
full feminine heart--it would make her
golden day-dreams q reality.
Young girls may love home and
those within its walls ever so dearly,
but changes Of scenes and association
with young people of their own age
are essential to their well-being. A
girl may be wise, thoughtful and de-
mure far beyond her years, but her
wisdom should not be taken for
granted. An old head cannot be put
on young shoulders. There will never
be a time when girls can content
themselves without having something
to look forward to. Her homefolks
should study that phase of her girl
hood Homes should be open to vel
come the friends of her youth A
watchful eye can be upon them to see
that they enjoy themselves properly.
But the espionage should not be ap-
parent. Give the girls happy youth
time.

CHIEF OBJECTS IN PRUNING
stantlaI Framework to Hold
Up Leaves and Fruit.

The objects of pruning are: To
make the tree into what might be
called substantial framework with
which it is to hold up the leaves and
fruit, to cause 1t to have a symmetri-
cal shape, to renew the fruiting wood,
to remove crossing and diseased and
broken branches, to thin the top SO
as to allow free circulation of air
through it and to keep the tree as
low as possible so as to facilitate
pruning, picking and spraying.
In young trees care should be taken
to have the main branches come out
from all sides of the tree and each
from different height. The crotches
will all be strong then.
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1916-02-18
RIGHT SYSTEM FOR ORCHARD
Before Ordering Fruit Trees Arrange
ment Should Be Carefully Fig
ured Out on Paper.

Before ordering trees for an orchard
plantation determine carefully the
acreage and the system to be adopted
in planting the trees. 1t will make
great deal of difference whether the
trees are set in rectangular, hexag-
onal or quincunx form. The most
common system of these is the rec
tangular. In this system the square
or rectangles are easily cultivated.
However, this does not give as many
trees to the acre as other systems and
they are not equally distributed over
the land
The hexagonal system means that
the trees are set out six trees in q
circle with the seventh tree in the
center. When set out this way the
trees are equally distant in every di-
rection and the trees use equally the
ground and air space, so as to pro-
vide splendid distribution.
The quincunx system is desirable
when filters are to be used. 1t means
planting in squares or rectangles and
putting filler in the middle so as to
pAO'idO iOh ANc LcSS Al luc rQudiC.
When the orchard is mature the mid
die tree can be taken out. This will
bring rs per cent more trees to the
acre than by the rectangular system
and lends itself very nicely to the
filler system.
Take piece Of paper and figure the
arrangement all out before setting the
orchard. Do not plant trees at such
distance that when it comes time
to thin them out the trees will be too
far apart. Make careful study OF
the work at first and it will help very
much.

LOOKING FORWARD.

Come. then. oh. care! oh, grief; oh. woe!
Oh troubles! mighty in your kind
l have balm We ne'er can know
A hopeful mind
There never was q wiser saying
than "all work and no play makes
Jack dull boy" The same ruling
holds good in regard to girls. There
is nothing that will take the life, hope
spirit, so quickly out of girl as a
dreary routine of work, day in and day
out, with no CLEAN Of brightness to
look forward to.
question the Justice of those who
require their girls to lead too soil
tary lives. There is but one youth
time. It is passing as swiftly as sands
through the hourglass. If a girl who
works hard in factory or shop all day
yearns for bright, light, gay scenes
and merriment at night, she should
not be scolded into believing her
yearning a sin. It Is but the natural
impulse of youth. 1t is as needful to
her as the sunshine is to flower.
Girls cannot very well attend some
places OF amusement alone. Mothers
and fathers are too tired to accom-
pany them. Brothers are not over
active about taking them. The maid
pines in secret, wearing the best part
Of her life out IN loneliness. Every city
and large town is full of just such
girls. with unsatisfed, longing hearts.
If the society matrons in such
places were looking eagerly for some
good TO do, their kindly intent would
materialize If they were to take a
score or more of such girls under their
wing. One night week to so to the

The ideal wife.

A Scotch divine, dealing with the
subject of the ideal wife," said he

qualities: Fidelity, md this meant
loyalty and devotion. Perfect conf

which it must rest. Industry, and this
comprised housewifely ability, dill
