Choosing Our Possession.
From Golfers.


In the new world (after the League OF

doubt be a school Of manners, not limited
to reluctant bolsheyists. The chief item
of instruction should be on the art OF
possession. False ideas prevail today.
A man says "my office" but his clerks
saw ''our office" Men and women as
sumo possession with startling rapidity.
An accident in our car" or lin our
street. acquires a worlds significance. be-
side which the eruption of Stromboli is a
small and dismal thing. just as men
take pride in Texas because they live
in the largest state, so office boys are
naughty IL their building has more ele-
vatorp tina any other in the world. We
hin the socialists ought to supply US
with an analysis of this fury to possess.
AS a starting point we offer the sugges-
ton that humanity is all wrong-it is
not the man who owns the office; the Of
fee could much more justly speak of my
man" In spite Of our title deeds and
rent receipts we are all men possessed,
by property OF by an idea or by those we
love. The art OF living Is In choosing our
posT essions-and our possessors as well.

at the Beadie county sale where one

week later at the combination sale re-

A Trae for a Tree.

From this Boston Globe.
Americas natural nave been
the salvation Of Europe. A list of the
products shipped ccross the Atlantic In
recent years would be exhaustive. Near
thu head Of this list would be lumber 90;
Millions of railroad ties nave been sent
to France. Today Greece is turning to
the United States for wood. This coun-
try could furnish Europe with supplies
for many years. Yet the old proverb
ought not to be forgotten. there is an
end to all things> A long look backward
would show Europe covered with forests;
a long look ahead under present methods
would show America devoid of forests.
The action presents a problem, not q
dilemma. During the few years of this
country's history 300, 600, 600 acres of forest
land have been wiped out entirely. This
amounts to more than half of our forest
and today.
Such a scheme as planting q new tree
for a tree cut would do much to solve
this problem. T.

the commission is anxious to clear the

there are some new brands in use now
which have never been registered, and
which are similar to certain registered
brands. This fact sometimes causes
long delays in the shipping of live
