PLANT AND PRESERVE TREES
One of the Most Important Duties Laid
Upon the Individual and the
Community.

Trees are natures prime sources of
food; their fruits and nuts gave sus-
tenance to the first tribes of men and
are the sweetest and most nourishing
of the earth's products.
Trees herald the spring with glori-
GUS banners of leaf and bloom; they
clothe the autumn in garments of gold
and royal purple; barred to the win
ter's cold, they are the harp of the
winds, and they whisper the music of
the infinite spaces
Before the earth could be peopled
it was set thick with trees, and when
man has run his course and the race
we know has disappeared in the COM
pleteness of it's mission or perishes in
the destruction Of it's trees, the earth
will spring up again with new for
ests to shelter and sustain new race
of men and beasts and birds to work
out greater destiny. Perhaps if we
are wise enough to replenish our vast
ing forests and to make ourselves wor-
thy of the gift of trees we may be per-
mitted to accomplish that greater
destiny which the Mighty Forester, the
Perfect Orchardist, the Loving Father
requires in the fulfllment of his sub
lime purpose.-C Clarence Ousley, Assist
ant Secretary of Agriculture.

PREPARE TIRES FOR
LONG, HARD WINTER
Car Owners Should Take Few
Necessary Precautions.
Carefully Wash on Outside to Remove
All Harmful Substances, Wrap in
Paper or Carpet and Store
in Dry Place.

The skin is thick on the belly Of the
Goldfish and the fur is heavy on the
back of the squirrel, SO prepare for q
long, hard winter.
Many motorists will soon put their
cars in the barn for the winter and
think no more of motor riding until
about the ides of March.
Many automobile tires will go into
storage with thousands of miles of
wear left in them, and car owners
should take the few precautions nee
essary to keep them from damage
while they are not in use.
Here are some recommendation
made by the service department of a
large tire company to the motorist who
wants to put his tires away and find
them in good shape next spring:
/. Y ash tires carefully on outside
to re. I'VE oil and other harmful sub
stances.
2. Remove tires from wheels and
wrap in paper or old carpet.
3. Store in cool, dry place, away
from light. Heat, light and moisture
are enemies Of rubber.
4. Cold has no bad effect on tires,
but they should be properly housed.
5. If tires. are left on car, jack up
car, debate the tires and wrap them
in covers.
6. Don't let rar stand on tires all
winter. To do so means weakening
them in the parts that rest on the floor.
Care will make the tires last out the
full length of their guarantee, despite
conditions.

or at least to share favors with.
The pretty garment and cap at the
left, by contrast with it's sturdy COM
panion, is only acting part. 1t is a
sleeveless affair of knitted silk, having
a cross-bar in contrasting color, with
small tassels suspended on silk cords
of the same color, about the bottom.
1t is made in the slip-on style, but
opens little way down the front
ending in fassels, provide fastening
and finish. Not much is required of
it in the way of warmth and it can,
therefore, afford to be sleeveless. The
cloth tam, worn with it, is run with
stitches like the cross-bar in the
sweatersin color and narrow girdle OF
the silk is knotted loosely about the
waist. This is an Interpretation of the

that of its companion which must face
the snow, but they both belong in the
category of sports clothes.
Among the very handsome garments
of the same character for Southern
tourists wear are the sweaters with
fitted body and ripped skirts, crochet
ed of heavy silk yarn. They have ell
bow sleeves ending in wide ripple
and, without pretense to any usefu
ness, other than that of looking Lowell
they are the most dignified of all Il
offerings for sports wear. The croche
work is very open, amounting to
heavy square mesh, for which the
blouse Worn provides a background.

tries, Are in Constant Need
of More Capital.

SO generally has the failure of Amer
ican municipal government been pro-
claimed that the 1918 financial statis-
tics of the 227 cities in the country
with over 10000 population, published
by the federal census bureau, come
with degree of surprise. According
to the official report, all but four of
these cities actually lived within their
means last year-that u.s. their revenue
receipts exceeded their current gov
ernmental expenditures and interest
payments, and in eighty, or more than
one-third, including some of the largest
communities, the revenues exceeded
ing capital OUTLAWS. The group as
whole collected in revenue about $780,
100000 above current expenses and in
terest, or sufficient surplus to pro-
vide four-fifths of the total outlay in
permanent improvements.
Growing industries or enterprises of
trade always require an increase Of
capital, the Philadelphia Bulletin re-
marks. Growing cities are confronted
with similar necessity, and munich
pal debt, if created for permanent inn
provements and wisely expended, is
merely municipal capital, an invest
ment in municipal development, eff
cheney and convenience which is a
necessity for the production of tax
paying property. So that total figures
of municipal OUTLAW or the evidences
of increasing municipal debt, are not
reliable criterions of the actual finan-
cial status of the cities, except as they
are measured in comparison with the
expansion of the communal plant The
comparison of current revenues and
expenditures is a more competent basis
of judgment.

Modern Building Methods Condemned.

MooeFn building WetnodS condemned.
The urgent need Of enforcing regu-
lations directing the proper use of
materials in building is shown in the
second annual report of the state fire
marshal of Oregon, who gives the fol.
lowing as a record Of defects found
by the Oregon state inspector during
the year ended March, 1919:
Defective wiring, 229; floor and
walls unprotected from stoves, 191;
defective pipes, stoves and fues, 1875;
found chimneys on b, .ets, 1852; ex-
posed and unprotec. & openings, l31.
The fact that 1872 chimneys were
found supported on brackets, it is
stated, is an indication that most
primitive method of construction still
exists, and emphasizes the fact that
proper building regulations are most
essential in all cities, large and small,
for fire prevention.

WILL INSIST ON
BETTER MATERIAL

Jasper. Tenn, Dec. 16.--
Judge l.. P. Brewer, county
judge, Marion county. says he 10
going hereafter to insist that on
ly first-class work and material
be placed on the public roads.
His ire is started by the fact that
a section of embankment front
ing the raging waters of Battle
Creek, near Ketchall bridge, has
washed out, a loss of $500. 1t
was a clay and sand fill instead
of being protected by a rock wall
which would have cost only a.
bout $500 more. The more road
work is being done in Marion,
the more it appears patent that
only first class, durable work
should be done, and no make
shifts attempted. The people
i
also have got wise to this and are
insisting on work of a perman-
ent character and no other. Hun
dreds of dollars have been vast
ed on grading and the people are
demanding that grading be stop
ped and that material that will
stand weather and traffic wear
be put on instead. In other
words they desire the roads to be
built up instead of to be graded
up out of the silt to wash back
in the first three or four heavy
rains that hit them.

and was so pleased with his ex-
perience that he sent up several

assessed by the local County Tax
Assessors bienially on the even
years When the legislature of
1919 passed the bill creating the
State Board of Equalization and
providing for the assessment of
all property at its actual cash
value, it was realized that the
law would have to be changed so
that all railroad property and
public utility property. as well as
all property assessed by the To-
cal County Tax Assessors. would
be assessed on the same year
and for the same period, other
wise the result would have been
that either railroad and public
utility property. or the property
assessed by the local County
Tax Assessors, would have been
assessed at its actual cash value
one year in advance of the other
class of property.
THE Legislature, therefore,
enacted a bill providing that the
assessment made by the Railroad
Commission in 1919 should be
for the year 1919 only, and that
the Railroad Commission should
also make new assessment in
1920, assessing all property as
sessable by this Commission at
it's actual cash value. so that all
classes of property in the state
would be raised to actual cash
value at the same time, and thu s

do no injustice to any particular
class of property holders.
For your information, l am
enclosing herewith a copy of
this bill, from which you will see
that all railroad property and
public utility property in the
State will be assessed in 1920 at
its actual cash valae.
Il understand that the sche-
dulles used by the railroad Com
mission for 1919 Inadvertently
show that they are 1919 and 1920
assessments. but this is due to
the fact that the Comptroller
simply used the old forms on
hand. AS a matter of fact, the
assessment made in 1919 by the
Railroad Commission is for the
year 1919 only. end a new as
sessment will be made in 1920 on
the basis of the actual cash value
of the property"
Claim has frequently been
made that the corporations doing
business in the county were not
paving sufficient tax, and the new
assessment law is aimed to prop
erly adjust thesetaxes. The let
ter sent out by Mr.. Louthen ex-a
plains the error discovered by

working for the best interests of
